Being captured had always been inevitable. He had known it was a possibility from the moment he had joined up with General Organa’s Resistance. So he wasn’t surprised when he had been taken on board the First Order after being captured on Jakku. What he hadn’t expected was being held in a cell until they had arrived on some strange world. To Poe, it seemed like a great deal of effort when they could have just interrogated him on the Finalizer.

But they took him from a cell to the quarters of the one they called Kylo Ren and that seemed a bit...unnecessary. He watched the imposing figure, his body tensing. Whatever this was, he was sure it wasn’t standard protocol.

“The Resistance will not be intimidated,” he had declared and he hadn’t been sure what to expect from Ren. 

“Well, your boys did a rather thorough search of me back on Jakku and they didn’t find anything. So, I think we can assume that I don’t have any map.”

Rey was still waiting outside Luke Skywalker’s place she looked up as it started to rain. She didn’t want to go too far from there, so maybe she’d be able to find a covered place to stay.

He was certain his appearance was more haggard than normal; personal grooming meant how one was supposed to appear, but try as he might, the dark circles under his eyes and the pallor wasn’t quite so easy to hide. 

Time after time he found himself completely overwhelmed with dread, anxiety, and personal fears. 

Poe had always known that he and Breha would see each other under these circumstances. It had been inevitable that the war they fought would bring them back together. But it wasn’t going to be the joyous reunion. Even he wasn’t so optimistic to believe that his words could break the spell Snoke had cast over her. The conditioning had been too deep and it would take much more than him to bring her back to the side of light.

He grit his teeth, leaning as much toward her as he could with the restraints. “You know I can’t do that. I won’t betray the General or her people.” He wasn’t foolish enough to speak Leia’s name aloud. Poe knew that dealing with Breha - Kylo - was about being delicate. She could, and most likely would, tear his mind apart at the slightest provocation. 

“I’m not giving up on you. We haven’t given up on you.”
