Takes Place in The Legendary Heroine Verse
“I LOOKED AWAY FOR ONE MINUTE AND THIS HAPPENED,” Leia growled. “ONE MINUTE AND OUR DAUGHTER IS GONE”
She had reached a breaking point. There had been a million things pilling up at once. The children being taken from their homes. The First Order rising up from the shadows. The panic that constantly set in now that Ben was training in the ways of the Force and now, she and Han’s youngest child, their little Rey was gone without a trace, possibly dead.
It was too much. Too much for her already fragile brain to handle.
“We got pleanty of people looking for her,” Han said walking over to her.
He was cautious as he approached her. Leia had been unhinged when it came to anger and stress with everything going on. She could no longer control the force when she was angry like she used to. Sometimes, when she was mad and frustrated her force power would unleash in horrible ways, like the ground would shake, the room would become cold, and sometimes things would break.
It was why he was careful when he embraced Leia. He knew Leia wouldn’t handle it if he got accidently hurt in the process.
“SHE’S DEAD HAN” Leia roared.
She felt an uncontrolled surge of energy release from her body. A force push. The sound of shattering glass broke her out of her flash of anger. Leia hoped she hit an innaminate object.
But she didn’t it was worse, much worse.
“BEN!” Han yelled.
Leia turned her head in horror to find Ben, the oldest of he three children, sitting on the floor of their living room. Glass surrounding him indicated he had hit one of their glass cabinets. The young man rubbed the back of his head and pulled it to his view and to his horror was soaked in blood.
“Ben I’m so sorry,” Leia said making her way over to comfort him, “I didn’t mean to hurt you it was an-”
“GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER!” Ben yelled. He quickly rose to his feet and ran out of the room.
Leia went to follow him but Han raised his hand to stop her.
“It’s better if I cool him down,” Han said before running to catch up with him.
Leia stood there feeling a great surge in the force. She knew what happened with Ben wasn’t on purpose. She would never in 1,000,000 years hurt her son who she claimed was the bright lights of her galaxy.
But her mistake sped up things to come. Things she hoped would never come to pass….her son losing his fight against the darkness.
