"So Han Solo is your father?" Rey asked with excitement.

Ben clenched his jaw slightly before replying "Yes."

"Wow! What must've been amazing!" Rey said.

Ben looked at her and said, "You think he's like the father you never had... he would have disappointed you."

Rey looked at him with confusion "Why do you hate him?"

"I don't hate my father." Ben replied, the pair fell into silence until Ben saw Finn walking away from the cantina, "Hey, isn't that your boyfriend?" Ben asked her.

Rey blushed furiously and said, "He's not my boyfriend."

"Go." Ben said, and smiled slightly.

Rey stood and ran after Finn.

Ben sighed and looked up at the sky, that was when he felt something strange, like there was serious trouble. He stood and went inside Maz's cantina to warn his father.

He approached the table and Han looked up at him in surprise, "Something's wrong."

"What is it?" Han asked in confusion.

Ben shut his eyes for a moment, and behind them he saw the Hosnian system, Ben opened his eyes widely in shock and ran outside, Han quickly followed.

They looked up and saw red beams quickly moving across the sky, Han and Ben watched as the beams found their targets. Ben felt a sharp pain in his head and fell to his knees.

"Ben!" Han cried and knelt beside his son, who was clenching his jaw to prevent pain sounds from escaping his lips. "Ben what's going on?" Han asked.

Ben struggled to breathe properly as he struggled to say, "The Hosnian system... it's-it's gone."

Han's eyes widened as he was reminded of Ben's namesake, Obiwan, or Old Ben as they knew him then.

*Flashback*

They were on the Falcon when Old Ben stumbled, Luke caught him.

"Ben? What's going on?" Luke asked.

Old Ben gasped and shuddered before saying, "I've felt a great disturbance in the force, it's as if millions of voices cried out in terror and then were suddenly silenced."

Han remembered sharing a strange look with Luke, he remembered thinking that it was mumbo jumbo...

*End Flashback*

Now that it was his son who was feeling it, Han was more inclined to try to understand. Not like Ben was going to tell him.

"Ben are you sure you're alright? How about your leg? Or your ribs?" Han asked.

Ben looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "I'm fine." He tried to stand, but stopped after a moment because of the pain in his leg.

"Fine my ass." Han said, "Listen kid, I-"

"Oh shit." Ben interrupted, looking into the distance, seeing First Order ships flying in.

Han quickly turned to look, and Ben took the opportunity to stand without his father seeing how much pain it caused him. Ben wasn't exactly sure how he was going to be able to fight in this condition, but he was going to have to.

When Han turned back to Ben, Ben said, "You need to get BB-8 to the Resistance."

"I need to get you home." Han said with annoyance.

"No, no." Ben shook his head, and Han swore he saw a smirk, "I didn't kill those people for nothing, I didn't get tortured for weeks for nothing. Get the droid, and if you have time, get me." Ben paused and reached into the force for strength, he pushed his pain into it, and in return he received strength, Ben took a deep breath and as the first shuttle was about to land he ignited his light-saber. "Go." He said to Han.

Han looked at his son, feeling an unfamiliar emotion, it was as if he was about to lose him. But Han had never been an emotionally intuitive man, so he did what Ben told him, and went to go find BB-8, leaving Ben alone.

Poe was ecstatic, well, maybe that wasn't quite the word. Not only was his droid, BB-8, safe, and with the map, but Ben was there, and safe too. Poe had been present when the call had come in, "Alert the Resistance, their missing droid is here, along with the First Order fugitive Commander Solo."

Poe was shocked, Ben was alive? He could hardly believe it. He was at the mercy of the First Order for more than a week, he managed to escape, and he had found BB-8. Poe could tell he was injured, even from a distance, he was moving slowly, and he wasn't showboating with his light-saber like he usually did.

With deadly precision Poe fired at the storm troopers that were attacking Ben, who looked up in surprise. He had been so caught up in the fight that he hadn't even noticed that the resistance fleet had come to help them.

Ben glanced over and saw that Chewie and his father were being overwhelmed, so he started making his way over to them. Unfortunately, along the way, another ship full of storm troopers landed in between them.

Han was worried about Ben, he was surprised the kid could even stand, let alone walk and fight. Han glanced over and saw Ben start making his way over to them, which was a relief, Han could then keep a better eye on him, but then a shuttle landed in between them. Han motioned for Chewie to follow him, and he started to make his way towards the shuttle. However, he then heard Rey crying "Help! Help!"

Han turned to see Rey getting overpowered by two storm troopers who were dragging her to a shuttle, Han turned back to Ben, just in time to see him get hit with some sort of electric restraint.

Ben shouted in pain before he fell to the ground, unconscious. Rey continued to scream and fight the storm troopers.

Han took an agonizing breath and ran forwards shooting the storm troopers... carrying a screaming Rey. She looked up in surprise at Han, before looking to where Ben was being taken aboard a ship.

Han tried to get there before the ship took off, but it left before he could get there. Chewie cried, "Ben!" in Shyriiwook.

"Ben, I'm so sorry." Han said quietly as he watched the shuttle fly away back to the First Order.

Leia had demanded that she go down to the planet to greet the survivors. Usually this would not have happened, but given the personal circumstances, no one had protested it. The shuttle door opened, and Leia was very anxious to see Ben and Han which was why when she didn't see Ben, and saw the guilty look on Han's face, she knew he was gone.

"Leia..." Han said sadly.

"What happened Han?" Leia asked, "Where's Ben?"

"They took him." Han said and shook his head, "This is all my fault."

Leia shook her head and embraced her husband. She tried to connect with Ben through the force, but even when unconscious his mental walls were up so high that Leia couldn't see anything.

"Ben's tough, he'll find a way out. He always does." Leia said.

Han wasn't too sure about that, Leia hadn't seen how badly Ben had been injured before, and Sith only knew what the First Order would do to him now.

The pair boarded the shuttle in silence, and Han wondered where Rey and Finn were although he then remembered that he saw them board another shuttle.

"I left him, I left him alone again." Han said.

"What are you talking about?" Leia asked.

"He had told me that he wasn't okay, and I forgot, how could I have forgotten? And just now, I had a choice, between him and Rey, and I helped Rey. Why did I do that?" Han asked himself.

"You chose Rey?" Leia asked, not really believing her ears.

"Leia, he had told me to make sure the map was safe at all costs, he said he didn't want everything that had happened to be for nothing." Han told her trying to justify himself, although he knew that he couldn't.

Leia simply shook her head, "You've always done this to him, never been there when he really needed you."

"Woah big words coming from the woman who thought it was okay to leave a seven year old alone by himself all day!" Han retorted.

"What was I supposed to do Han?! You weren't there!" Leia cried.

"Well what were you expecting?!" Han shouted loudly, startling the other members of the shuttle.

"Something better than this." Leia said quietly.

Poe jumped from his X-wing in the hangar on the Resistance base and headed straight to the debriefing room.

He looked around for Ben, but he didn't see him, maybe he was taken to the medbay? He saw Leia and walked over to her.

"General, where's Ben? Is he okay?" Poe asked.

Leia looked downcast, "Poe, Ben was taken again."

Poe looked down and nodded slightly, "I'm sorry General."

"It's alright Poe, we did our best but, well you know, Ben's had a death wish since he was a toddler." Leia said trying to lift the mood, but the words 'death wish' only managed to make both of them quiet. Leia then locked eyes with Han, who was waiting outside with Rey and Finn outside. "I'm sorry Poe, I have to deal with something, but please, have dinner with me tonight, we haven't talked in some time."

"I will, thanks General." Poe said and smiled slightly at her before turning and leaving.

Leia left the room as well, and stopped in the hallway where Han was waiting with the new recruits.
