The knock at my door is what woke me.

Sometime the night before, I had fallen asleep, holding the lapel pin given to me by Coop in a tight fist close to my chest. I missed home. The icy feeling of floating in the middle of nowhere chilled to me to the fucking bone. Space was cold, but if I had to be completely honest with myself, Ben's presence made it warmer.

"Just a minute!" I hollered toward the door. I opened the door to find a black mask staring down at me.

"Doctor," Vicrul said, "I'm sorry for waking you, but it's almost 1300 hours. Master Ren has left his quarters for the day and has instructed Ap'lek and I to keep you company."

I wrapped my arms around my torso as I spoke, "So, it's just the three of us today?"

He lightly chuckled, "I suppose so, Miss Ren."

I nodded, shutting the door to get dressed.

Miss Ren? What the hell did that mean? Who knows.

I threw my hair in a high bun before taking a quick shower. I wrapped the towel around my naked body as I browsed through the closet for something to wear. I opted for some black leggings and a black tunic top and grabbed a sports bra and some underwear. I quickly braided my hair to the side before exiting into the living room.

Vicrul and Ap'lek sat in the armchairs, their massive frames and weapons taking up most of the living area. I held back a laugh as I couldn't help but think of how cartoonish the scene was. I also noticed the destroyed dining room table had been cleaned up and replaced with one exactly like it.

"Hey guys," I said, offering a small wave.

They nodded in unison, giving no reply.

Oooookay...I thought, this is going to be a long fucking day. Do they always wear those damn masks?

Just then, they both erupted in laughter, startling me.

"What's so funny?"

"Master Ren was right," Ap'lek said, "Your thoughts are obnoxiously loud."

My jaw went slack as I stared at them. So, they could use the Force like Ben and they could hear my thoughts. Great.

I dug through the kitchen cabinets until I found a mug and started boiling water for tea.

"Well, sorry for annoying you with my thoughts. I really don't have any idea about anything to do with the Force," I said, dipping the tea bag into my cup.

"Apparently not," Vicrul said, laughing.

"Cut the shit, Vicrul. I didn't ask to come here."

They both went silent, masks boring into me as I came to sit on the couch opposite them.

I sighed, "Seriously though, do you guys always have to wear those masks?"

Simultaneously, they both reached up and undid the latch on the helmets. They opened with a hiss, dropping the devilish masks on the ground beside them. I was honestly shocked that they had done it.

Ap'lek was tanned with dark brown eyes and brown hair. Vicrul was the complete opposite, blue eyes and white-blonde hair. They were attractive and a few years older than I.

I smiled in satisfaction as I sipped my tea.

"So, how long have you known Ben?" I asked.

"Ben?" Vicrul chuckled, "Master Ren definitely has got it bad if he's letting you call him that."

Ap'lek laughed as well, "Definitely. He'd kill anybody else who dared call him that."

Confusion spread across my face as I spoke, "Is his name not Ben? Why do you call him Master Ren?"
