Vader's Realistic Reactions

Disclaimer: I don't own.

Chapter 1: A Son

Vader knelt before the hologram of the Emperor. "What is thy bidding, my master?"

"There is a great disturbance in the Force," Palpatine began.

"I have felt it," Vader replied.

"We have a new enemy, the young Rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker." He sneered.

Vader gasped in shock. "How is that possible? I killed Padmé, remember? How could I have a son when there has been no other woman since my Angel?"

"Search your feelings, Lord Vader. You will know it to be true. He could destroy us," the Sith Lord hissed.

Vader tried to change the Emperor's mind on the amount of danger this Skywalker represented. "He's just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him."

"The Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi," Palpatine reiterated.

"No. No, no, no, no. Master, I have killed many for you. I have killed the man I, many years ago, saw as my father. I have killed even my own wife, but I will not take part in killing my son." Vader froze, knowing he probably needed to restate that, seeing as how the Emperor has murdered many for much less of an insult. "However, I could foresee him turning to the Dark Side."

"True," Palpatine mused. "He would be a powerful ally on our side. Can it be done?"

"I will turn him, my master. I give you my word." The hologram winked out, and Vader stood, still reeling from shock. My son is alive? Why have I never felt his presence before? After several moments of contemplation, though, he realized the answer. Kenobi, he mentally growled, knowing that he was the only one who could have hidden his baby from him. That doesn't matter now, he told himself. All that matters is that I find my son and help him to see that the true power lies with the Dark Side.

"Admiral Piett!" Vader called as he exited the chamber. "Send out word for bounty hunters to come to the Executor. I have a new idea on how to find the Millennium Falcon." And when I find the Falcon, I will use those on board as bait to draw my son to me. My son, you will be mine.

A/N: Yeah, so this took forever, is short, and nowhere near as funny as the others, but still, here it is. I'm going to do a short chapter 2 where Vader discovers he has a daughter.
