Work Text:
It was a simple mission, no one was meant to be in danger, all your team had to do was head to an outer rim planet to pick up some crates of food from your allies. Everything was fine when your squad landed and even after you had loaded everything on to your ships. The senator who greeted you though had become anxious. You didn’t need the force to sense that something was off with him. It took you a second to register that someone was speaking to you. “Are we all good to leave commander?” Blue twos voice echoed in your ear. “We’re all clear here, see you at base two” You affirmed and Two flew off the planets surface.
By the time the next few members took off it was just you, four, and six. The senator had begun sweating profusely which was weird considering it was rather chilly on this planet. “Senator are you alright do you need to go inside?” You said smiling softly at him. A look of guilt flashed across his face as he looked from you to your two squad members. “I’m quite alright dear” He said shaking his head. Out of the corner of your eye you saw something dart through the woods. “Why don’t you go back inside senator” You said calmly as you realized something wasn’t alright. General Leia’s voice came in through your comm. You stepped away from the senator.
“Yes general?” You said still scanning your surroundings. “Are you on your way back? We have all of your squad except you and four and six” She asked calmly. At the mention of your friends your eyes darted back to where you saw them last. They were both still sitting there waiting for your command. You took another step away from the senator before speaking again. “General something’s wrong with the senator. He’s acting weird and things keep moving through the woods” You said as quiet as you could so you wouldn’t alert anyone. “Do we need to send a rescue team?” She asked trying to keep the concern out of her voice.
“I’m not sure-“ Your voice was cut off by the sound of someone’s blaster hitting the wall right next to to four. “Run, Now!” You shouted at the two of them who scrambled off behind a few houses. “Yes, we need back up, quick” You said into the comm before running after the senator. Your comm had fallen out of your ear in the chase but eventually you caught him. “What the hell is wrong with you” You said pushing him against a wall. “Please you don’t understand, they took my family they said they’d only give them back in exchange for you” He said crying. You loosened your grip but still held him there. “And what about my team?! What if they died” You demanded before looking around to make sure you two were safe.
“They said they wouldn’t hurt them” He said shaking. “Oh and you believed them?” You snickered. “Get back to your house right now. I have to find my team” You said shoving him back towards his home. As you watched him head home you darted off in the last direction you saw four and six. With no comm you had zero communication. Eventually you came upon six holding four behind a wall. Four had taken a bad hit to the stomach. You quickly took off your jacket and pressed it to her abdomen. “Hey give me your comm” You said to six. Six handed over his comm and your ear was filled with the black squadrons voices.
“Hello?” Your voice echoed through Poe’s ship. “Y/n?” He said relief present in his voice. “Poe” You sighed before taking a breath. “What the hell happened?” He questioned as his team entered the planets atmosphere. “The senator did it. They took his family poe” You said quietly. “What the hell are they after all the supplies are back at base?” His voice said back. “Me. They’re after me” You said looking at six as some troopers ran past the wall. “Listen four is injured someone needs to come get her” You said cutting poe off before he could even speak. “Three is almost there but what do they want with you?” Poe said as he directed three to your location.
You were about to speak before you were cut off by a blaster sounding close to you. You nodded to six before heading out from behind the wall. A few troopers stood at the other end of the alley you were hidden in. You walked out with your hands up slowly heading towards the group. One of them shoots at you and you move to the side effectively dodging it. When you looked back you saw them arguing with each other. You couldn’t hear it al through their helmets but you heard “Them” and “Unharmed”. You pulled out your own blaster and shot the one closest to you.
They fell to the ground and another trooper shot at you. They managed to hit you in the stomach as the black squadron finally reached you all. They took out the troopers standing there and you smiled at poe as you leaned against the wall. He started walking towards you before you fell to the ground. You couldn’t hear much but you definitely heard your name as Poe cradled you before you lost consciousness. When you woke next it was to the beeping of machines in the med wing. You went to wipe the sleep out of your eyes but found that you couldn’t move your right hand. You panicked looking down before realizing that poe was laying on it.
You took in the room, noting that Leia was sat awake on your other side. “General?” You said groggily as you turned to look at her. She looked up from whatever she was reading. “Ahh, Y/n, you’re awake” She said smiling. “What’re you doing in here?” You asked quietly. “It’s nothing bad i was just checking on you and making sure he was talking care of himself, he hasn’t really slept much” She said nodding toward poe. “H-how long have i been in here?” You said looking away from poe and back to the general. “A few days. And before you ask, four is okay, the doctor said she wouldn’t be alive without you” She said squeezing your hand. You breathed out a sigh of relief.
“I’m not in trouble?” You asked quietly. “Why would you be in trouble, you handled that perfectly, get some rest commander, that’s an order” She said smiling at you before leaving you. You laid quietly watching Poe as he stirred by your side. When he squeezed you hand as he sat up you squeezed back. He quickly looked at you and practically jumped on top of you when he realized you were awake. “Hey, I’m okay” You said as he pulled you into a hug. “Your heart…it stopped” He said crying into your neck. “I know, I know but i’m here now” You said holding him as close to you as possible.
“I almost lost you… i wouldn’t know what to do” He said as he kept crying. You pulled him back slightly so you could wipe the tears off his face. “I know, but it’s okay, i’m okay, we’re okay” You said leaning your forehead against his. “Never do that again, please” He said kissing your cheeks and then your forehead and then your lips before pulling away. “I can’t guarantee that but i can definitely try” You said smiling. “Get some rest, please” He said brushing your hair away from your face. “Only if you lay next to me” you said pulling him closer. You both fell asleep tangled together on the small bed.
