When Kylo Ren gets a terrible image from a new employee that he's rather fond about, Matt the Radar Technician is probably his best bet.
Comedic, and finally off hiatus
I feel a rush as I noticed that Nova had no longer been standing in her own two feet. One of the smugglers decided that she maybe be a way to lure me in, I'll give them credit, using her as bait is effective. They wanted to test my rage, they have definitely pushed hard enough. She is half unconscious from whatever they knocked her out with. There's no way I'm letting these outlaws get away with this.
Just why did they think one girl like this could be of great value, other than for luring me in. Her force sensitivity wasn't obvious and she is of no great background. If I were to take an enemy as captive it would be one with information and one of power. The only thing that would cause anyone to take her from me is the romantic feelings I have towards her.
I drop my helmet and order a Storm Trooper to bring take it back to the ship. Let these smugglers see the face of rage.
I walked in deeper and deeper through the dark entrance of the ship, must I say if they were going for the mysterious gorge theme it had made that kind of atmosphere. The floor was stainless steel, it gave off a blurry reflection.
It took, what —around ten fifteen minutes before I found my self in a spherical room, smugglers standing in a half circle on the far side of the room. I could feel how terrified they were as each of them were unarmed except for the smuggler who had stood in the center with Nova half conscious. Nova had a lost her blaster most likely when this smuggler captured her.
"You know, you unknowingly picked out something the Resistance was looking for," he said, blaster pointing at Nova. He looked up at my face and smirked, "So that pretty face is what keeps her staying with an ass like you."
If it weren't for his grip around Nova, I would have already attacked him, use the force to punish him. But if even I could, Nova wouldn't be any close to me than she already is. This was the thought that tore me from punishing him now than later. Instead I just smile, and raise a brow,"What's in it for you, money, glory, praise?"

I walk closer and ignite my lightsaber, as I walk closer I notice Nova's eyes were open. She's awake and aware of the pain the chemicals are giving her. She groans and the smuggler tightens his grip on her hair. "Keep that up, you will be in even more pain than her," I taunt at the smuggler, I try to see what's in his mind but the rage distracts me and his mind strongly fights. I try to see into his thoughts, whatever past he has with Nova because if he really took her for a ransom he would have already left. Was he really here to lure me in? Or for a more darker intention?
I finally use the force to take hold of him, using him and his weapon to threaten to shoot the rest of the smugglers. As I keep a hold of their leader, the rest of the group backs away into doors along the edges of the spherical room. These cowards are fools for thinking they could handle me, take from me.Yet there was something odd about how this is set up, the other smugglers all exited in sync, they were not panicking or alarmed. They seemed to have expected this to happened— or even planned for this.
I blacked him out and attend to Nova, forgetting to finish him off. If it is a past enemy of hers, she will have to pleasure of destroying him.
I can see her vision is blurred, unable to see clearly. Thank you I hear her think but unable to speak. She tries to reach out to touch my face but after all the chemicals she struggles to stay awake. Instead of the behavior where she tries her best not to touch me, she keeps her head close to my chest. She's unconscious but this is how comfortable she is in Matt's arms. If she were awake and feeling well, she would question if this were a delusion. Her heart thinks she's being held by Matt while in the arms of Kylo Ren.
If only you knew, I thought enough though she couldn't never be able to catch that thought.
Nova POV
My vision is blurry, I could see a dark figure approaching I assume is Kylo Ren for the shape of his lightsaber is in my view. Deimos hold my hair harder, and I couldn't pretend that I could hold the pain much longer. He had intoxicated with some kind of chemical after making me black out.
After what seems forever, I feel myself in...it's feels just like him but it can't be. Thank you, I mentally say. Why is Matt here when Kylo's the one who saved me, a delusion from chemicals show me Matt's face as the only thing clear in my view and I try to reach for it but out of exhaustion I fall back into his chest keep my eyes closed. He feels just like Matt. He probably thinks I'm completely asleep.
If only you knew, I hear in Matt's voice but instead of the dorky voice I associate him in my memory his voice seems cool. But I know this could be from the side effects from the intoxication. But he really does feel like Matt, the accuracy is scary but somehow comforting. Kylo and Matt workout buddies? Haha. I can't tell anymore, the difference between Kylo and Matt anymore, I think I maybe being held by Kylo by the feel of his muscular arms.
I feel a soft hand tuck a piece of hair behind my ear right before he carries me away from the spot he had found me. My legs feels heavy but he carries the weight I can't bare, keeping my head close to his chest. I didn't think I could stay awake much longer but I felt guilt as I woke up in a hospital bed. I could see Kylo Ren's back as he put his helmet back on and walked out of my room. "Stop," I said, but not sure why, "stay...please." He stopped in his tracks and turned around to face me. He was wearing his helmet again and sat on the edge of my bed, keeping his intimidating exterior the helmet gives proudly.
I know my feelings for Matt were developing, but I knew what I was starting to feel about Kylo. I couldn't deny it at this point but maybe Kylo does have a chance with me.
Strange, weird chance. But Matt is such a sweetheart and I knew he had a crush on me, and I led him on. "I told you to stay on the ship," Kylo said behind his helmet. He was using the robotic voice again,"but Matt did figure you would be like that...'
"Kylo," I say weakly, I still haven't gained my strength from when Deimos had intoxicated me, "What's up with you and Matt...why is it that you both are..."
"I'll win," Kylo said blankly,"Whether it's Kylo or Matt for you, I win no matter what you want." If he weren't wearing a helmet I bet he'd be smirking. "My heart is not a prize, Kylo," I say sternly.
"You would only understand what I am saying if you use the force," he says, I don't understand why a strong force user like him would be fine with a weak user like me to wander in his thoughts,"as soon as you recover, I would like to return to our lessons on how you use the force. You would be at some much more ease if you would willingly learn, Nova." He stood up to leave, strangely I found myself feeling a little down as he left my room.
But the thought keeps lingering in my mind, why does he know me so well? Why does he have to remind of Matt? I should like him for him but I like him for being so much like Matt, I feel terrible. But in the long run, who went into Deimos's ship to get me out, and who would be risking his life to get me out? Who's the one who will be
The door slid open once again, I was hoping for Kylo to return but instead General Hux had entered followed by Captain Phasma. General Hux had that smug smirk on his face again that I'd love to smack out of his face. But his eyes knows something I don't know. The suspicion on my face can't be masked unlike Kylo's. There's reaction I want out of Kylo, I heard but I don't know where it's coming from. This girl is the one toy I can use to trigger that childish rage of his.
"Did you say anything about Kylo, Hux?" I ask, lifting my brows as I test him. Is this what Kylo Ren meant by using the force on thoughts, when there's an obnoxious thought in a person's mind? Hux then raised his brows sarcastically and replied,"Why, I was just merely curious if he's informed you about that formal gathering upon those workers who don't actually do anything physical to our purpose—I can't recall what it was, some sort of formal party with music, dining, and food."
Phasma just turned to look at Hux with a disappointing look even though she was wearing her helmet. "Did Kylo ask you to go with him?" Phasma said straightforward while Hyx still keeps his sarcastic smile,"Or are you waiting for Matt to ask? It's in two days. Matt would never come between you and Ren."
"Matt's not coming back, is he?" I said sadly. Then I realized something. Kylo Ren has the power to get rid of anyone he wants, kill at pleasure. What the hell could he do to Matt?"What did he do to Matt?" I say rather angrily."Both walked in here and it just Kylo left this room, now tell me what really happened to Matt or so help me God."
"Nothing bad has happened to Matt," Hux says as he walks to the door to leave. "Tell me where Matt is," I say stiffly as Hux laughs,"Tell me where Matt is." I repeat and Hux says,"Asleep in his room."
I let go of my hold on Hux, surprising Phasma, Hux, and myself from what had just happened. Hux stares at me indignantly, Just like Rey. I hear his thoughts.
"Who the hell is Rey?" I say, but then I just realize what I had just done. I had used the force for my own selfish need. I dove into his thoughts, although I want to know more but it's wrong and I've already gotten what I wanted. I have completely disregarded other options and ways I would get what I needed yet I was not bothered. My method was wrong in so many ways, this isn't what I should be doing.
