Han called your name over the howling wind and you hurried out, your breath being taken out of your lungs by the cold. You suddenly wished you were trudging through the snow back on your planet, it was much nicer than this, and you realized now why that particular officer was so chipper. This was Hell. Frozen Hell.
The four of you pressed on, the Wookie next to you and pulling you forward each time you fell. He chirped down to you and you rolled his eyes. "Yes, thank you, I understand that I am slow but you are well over seven feet and I am just barely (Y/h) on a good day." You retorted and he chirped again. "I'd love to see you on Hoth too, I'm sure it would be wonderful." You snapped. He let out what sounded like a laugh Finn in front of you turned and scowled.
"You can understand him? Didn't know they taught Wookie at the academy." He snapped and you shot daggers at him.
"No, they don't. But the Force is one hell of a translator." You scoffed, and the entire group stopped and stared at you. You realized what you said a second too late and cleared your throat. Pushing your chin out indignantly you pressed on towards the building looming in the distance.
"Wait. You're a Force User?" Finn called and you ignored him. "Major! Wait." At the use of your title, you stopped and spun around to glare at him in full force. You didn't know if he was using it to mock you, but from the look on his face, you realized that he probably didn't know your name, and since your rank was on display, it was probably easier to call you that. He ran up to you and reached to put his hands on your shoulders, but one look from you had him dropping his hands. "You're a force user." He said quietly.
"Not exactly." You corrected. "More like a Force Observer . Although I'm not so sure about that anymore." You said as a side fact. Finn smiled turning to Han and the Wookie -Chewie- you supplied, reaching through Han's mind. He narrowed his eyes at you as he felt it, but you didn't let it both you.
"That's great! Then you can feel where Rey is." He smiled widely but the gathered company looked to him curiously. So that was the girl's name... Rey.
"Look, I'm not some sort of sniffer dog. I have a job to do here, just as much as you do." You turned on your heel to a ventilation shaft. The Basic on the side read that this was something venting a computer room. You had never been to the base, but you figured you could follow the signature of Hux until you found him. You felt the irony of doing exactly what you said you wouldn't do for Finn, but this was a part of the deal. "When you drop the shields, let me know." You held up your communicator, and then pulled the hatch off of the shaft and slipped inside. You heard Han exclaim indignantly, but you were already sliding down to the elbow of this vent.
(Y/n) I feel you moving away from the group, what are- Are you in a ventilation shaft? Kylo's voice filled your mind and you sighed.
No? You replied, but you could almost feel him raise his eyebrow in question. Okay, fine, yes I am in a ventilation shaft. I'm trying to make my way to the command room. I need to delay the weapon long enough for everyone to get off of D'Qar. You replied as you began crawling through the vents. The sound of Kylo sighing had you stilling.
You have answered the call to the light. He replied almost sadly.
No. I haven't. And I haven't answered the call to the Light either. I'm currently operating in a morally grey area. You continued to move, pressing your weight to the corners of the vent to keep from making too much noise.
There is no morally grey area with the force (Y/n). Kylo sighed and you smirked. And yet you have managed to find it. There was a silence for a moment, but he hadn't left your mind. It seems your dream is going to come true. He said quietly and you once again stopped, heart hammering in your chest.
