“ wait, did you say the force? you’re not from here originally then, are you? ” okay, now things were making a little more sense. sort of. finn had never seen someone use powers like these, and though he didn’t know much about the force, he’d always felt a pull. like he was destined for more. like there was something buried within him that yearned to escape. “ well, that explains it. i’ve never heard of anyone with your power either. ” he glanced to the flames and back up to her. “ you said there’s a jedi master here...what’s her name? ”

the designs just kept coming in a whirlwind of inspiration. evie couldn’t be more pleased. she felt this was just the thing that would get evie’s 4 hearts the recognition it deserved. it was time for another coffee run, her adrenaline and prior caffeine consumption fueling her to finish her latest sewing project. happily humming to herself as she walked through the door, she quickly let out a small yelp at the small collision. “ oh my gosh, i’m so sorry. i was totally in my head just now. ” she offered him an apologetic smile, glancing down at the cup. “ whew, that could have been much worse, huh? ”

it was the tune that gave her pause. it sounded so familiar, yet dany was sure she couldn’t quite place it. something about it reminded her terribly of home. when she found the source, she stopped, listening. slight goosebumps covered her arms, and dany hugged herself as though to bring herself back to the present and out of her thoughts. “ what song is that? ” she asked, brow furrowing. “ i somehow feel like i’ve heard it before. a very long time ago. ”

“ maybe they had to close early for a staff meeting. sometimes the shop i work at does that. ” makoto shrugged, eyes moving from the bakery window to the other girl, who looked nearly ready to collapse. “ hey, i’m actually really good at baking. i could whip up some donuts for you! ”

“jake?” brown eyes widened as she took in his face, not believing for a minute that he was really here. so many things seemed like hallucinations lately. edward. her daughter. but somehow seeing jacob grounded her. things had been tense in the past, but he was her best friend. her rock. “oh my god, jake!” running forward, bella threw her arms around him, burying her face in his chest as she hid just how big her smile was. “i...uh...yeah. things have been weird, to say the least.” she pulled back, remembering that the last time she’d seen him had been minutes before she’d slipped away. “how long have you been here? what’s the last thing you remember?” a million questions threatened to fly off her tongue, but she caught herself.

amy breathed a sigh of relief when the other stepped in to assist her. she’d just been trying to go about her day, but it seems the drama she’d read about in the news had finally caught up to her. the anxiety began to subside, her heart rate returning to a semi-normal speed as he inquired after her. “ i am. yes. ” amy nodded. “ thank you...so much. i don’t know what i would have done if you hadn’t come along. ”

she knew that quite well. there had been times when she’d wished everyone had known. she hated keeping her love a secret. but it was necessary. if the wrong people had found out, it would have been disastrous. and padmé hadn’t wanted to let her personal desires get in the way of anakin’s training. but now things could be different. in this strange place where they could hopefully begin anew. “ my goodness...did you ever imagine? ” she asked with a cheerful smile, love filling her heart for a family that she hoped she would meet soon. padmé hadn’t really had the chance to think of a family that far down the line. she’d been far too preoccupied with figuring out how they were going to raise their own children. her smile tightened as she placed a hand on his shoulder. “ you have to fight him, ani. i’m here. right here. you don’t have to do anything alone. i may not understand all of this...the force...but i know i love you, and i’ll fight with everything i have in me to keep you in the light where i know you belong. ”

it was only natural that pepper would fall back into her routine here. she never liked the chaos. the unpredictability. not knowing what was going to happen. if tony was going to come back or not. that last time...he hadn’t. and she’d been lost. of course, she was capable. she’d held it together for morgan. but a life without tony was incomplete. she couldn’t hide the tears that sprang to her eyes as he came into view. alive. god, he was alive. she ran forward, immediately throwing her arms around him. “ tony. oh my god. you’re here. ”

something must have gone wrong. she shouldn’t be here. natasha hated being in the dark when it came to anything. she was always one step ahead. always in the know. but now...now it was like a blanket had been pulled over her head. but a familiar face...one that had gone by many names, just as she had, made her stop and reconsider just exactly why she was here. “ james. ” bucky never slid off the tongue just right with her. a small smile crossed her face in spite of her utter confusion over his presence in the city. “ it has. ” she paused. “ what are you doing here? ”

this wasn’t the soulworld. had it all been a dream? a nightmare that had briefly flashed into her mind. it was the question that ran through her mind with annoying consistency, day and night. she’d been attempting to numb it with earthian alcohol, all but brooding in a corner booth when she saw the familiar figure saunter up to the bar. immediately she was on her feet, disbelief spread across her face. “ peter? ”

padmé wasn’t sure she wanted to know all he’d done. didn’t know if her heart would be able to handle such information. it had been hard enough to know what obi-wan had told her. but there was a good man inside him. that sweet little boy on tatooine was still in there. padmé could feel it. even if she couldn’t feel things through the force like her husband, her love allowed her to feel that much. nodding, she smiled. “ no. no war. just us. we can be husband and wife. no more hiding. no more secrets. ” that’s all they’d ever wanted. even though she’d been devoted to her position, she would have given it all up at the end. “ grandson? ” her eyes widened. it was almost too much to take in. a whole family that she’d never known. “ then we must protect our family. ” it tore her apart knowing anakin still heard palpatine. that he still wasn’t free from his grasp. “ i should never have put my trust in him. he tricked us all... ”

“ it seems i have a knack for going where the trouble is. ” wanda hadn’t wanted to get involved. it seemed whenever she did, she tended to make a mess of things. she would never be able to live down what happened in lagos. what happened to vision. but she was an avenger now. she always had to take the risk. “ i’m glad things didn’t get ugly. still, are you alright? ”

evie took a sip of her own brightly colored drink, an immediate smile hitting her face the moment the sweetness hit her lips. “ what’s yours called? i could have about three more of these. ” probably not the smartest choice, but evie was enjoying herself. “ i mean, with all the drama that’s happening around the city, it’s nice to take a minute and get away from it all. ”

“ w-what did you say? ” all the air seemed to vanish from her lungs. bella stared, mouth slightly ajar as her brain attempted to make sense of what she’d just heard. whatever casual conversation she’d been attempting to make seconds earlier was erased from her mind. “ that’s...that’s impossible. ” she’d been a couple of minutes old when bella held her — for the first and last time. this girl had to be at least in her early twenties. but who else in the entire world would have named their child renesmee? the longer she stared, she started to see it. the similarities. the features...they were edward’s. all except the eyes, which were her own unique shade of chocolate. a soft gasp as a swell of tenderness hit her. “ i thought i’d lost you... ”
