MONOCHROMATIC [A POE DAMERON X READER STORY]

part 3; chapter nine

The ship opened and you ran out, weapon ready. Already, you and Poe had taken out two stormtroopers, and now you were storming the hangar, firing at all of the soldiers that attempted to fire at you first. Rey turned around and warned the droids. "You three stay there!"

"Happily!" C-3PO said. BB-8 beeped in agreement. You gave him a pained glance. You hated leaving him behind. 

"He'll be okay," Poe said, his hand on your arm. "Come on, we gotta get Chewie."

You nodded and pushed your feelings down again. Your feet shuffled forward and you put all of your focus on this. You put all of your focus on Chewie.

"Which way?" Poe asked. 

"Uh, no idea," Finn said. 

"Follow me!" you exclaimed. You picked up speed and you heard the heavy footsteps of all of them behind you. 

But as you got further into the Destroyer, it was time to be quiet. You couldn't afford to throw yourself in a fight for every stormtrooper you'd see, so you led them to hide in crevices in the walls and behind doors until you came across a hall divided in four. You spun around, lowering your blaster. "Um..."

"Halt!" a stormtrooper cried. You bounced back. The blaster was pointed directly at your chest. "Drop your weapons."

Rey took a huge step forward and waved her hand. "It's okay that we're here." 

They dropped their weapons. "It's okay that you're here." 

"It's good," the other stormtrooper said. 

"You're relieved that we're here," she continued waving her hand. 

"Thank goodness you're here," the first stormtrooper said. 

"Welcome, guys." 

Poe mumbled to Finn, "Does she do that to us?" 

"We're looking for a prisoner," she said, "and his belongings."

"There," he said. "You'll find the prisoner just that way. Enjoy your time, guys." 

You looked at Rey and grinned triumphantly. "That was awesome!" 

"I know, right?" she asked, running alongside you in the direction that they pointed. You burst through the doors and ran into another hall. Rey said, "The cameras," and each of you took out a camera that was following your every move. They exploded with a rain of gold sparks. 

"They said Chewie's this way," Finn said, taking the lead. He stopped at a set of doors and looked at you for help. While Finn had spent his fair share with the First Order, there was a better chance that you had the right code for each door unlocking. And you did. You stepped up with Poe watching your back and typed in the code. The doors opened with a soft hiss. Finn looked at Rey, who seemed distracted again. "Rey, come on."

"The dagger is on the ship," she said, "we need it."

Poe gave her a look. "Why?"

She turned. "A feeling. I'll meet you back at the hangar."

Finn took a step. "Rey, you can't just---"

Poe stopped him by smacking his chest. He only needed one word to convince him to stay put. "Chewie." 

"Come on," you said to them, and to Finn, you reassured him with, "Rey will be okay."

The three of you took off now, staying close together, blasters raised. You only had to go through one more set of doors before you were in the cell. It was a brand new interrogation cell. Chewie was on his knees, chained up. He saw you and growled softly.
