(A/N-Okay so I have become a full blown Reylo shipper and started to read many Reylo fanfics and have loved them so much. So I decided to give it a try. I have a few ideas in my head, some in the Star Wars universe, more not so much for later on. Anyways Happy May the 4th Be With You and hope you enjoy! Thanks to Lynn for beta reading this.)

A few weeks had passed since the Supreme Leader Snoke had been killed by Jedi Rey. It was reported that after killing Snoke, Rey had also fought Kylo Ren, but had managed to escape before he could kill her. But there had been good news as far as the First Order had, Luke Skywalker was dead. The Rebels were on the run, but had also managed to escape them, but they all knew it was only a matter of time before they were ended once and for all. Kylo Ren stayed in constant meetings with General Hux, with Kylo making sure that his orders were followed through, thoroughly. There was one thing in the rebel group that he wanted and he knew what he needed to get it.

"Soon," Kylo said one night in his quarters. Everything he wanted was right in his hands, all he had to do was close his fingers to hold onto it.

The object of his desire had abandoned him on Snoke's ship, had refused to stand by his side as he had literally begged her to join with him. To let go of the past, forget the jedi, rebellion, everything. But she had refused, instead she had made an attempt to grab for Skywalker's lightsaber that she had thrown at him earlier to save his life. She had left him there, lying on the floor, not caring if he had lived or died only to run away like a scared little girl. He had felt the conflict in her though, knew she had been tempted to but the light in her had trumped his offer. The bond they had was as strong as ever, he had felt her joy and sadness over these last few weeks. But they had been no more force meetings with them, she had evidently found a way to shut it down from her side. He smirked as he realized it was probably a good thing she had not interrupted any of his dealings with his plan on what would soon happen or he would be chasing her all over the galaxy like he had been doing for weeks. He had had several close calls with finding her and the rebels, but she had always seemed to be one step ahead of him, perhaps sensing that he was close to finding her.

The few times he had felt their bond open from her side, he had tried to talk to her. "Rey, where are you? Are you safe?"

He waited a few moments, waiting for her to acknowledge him, but nothing was coming from her. "Rey, are you okay? Please, tell me that you're alright. Or can your rebels friends not keep you safe?"

"How dare you! We are safe from your attack army that wants to destroy everything in his wake."

"I don't wish any harm to fall to you, only you."

"Yet, you attack all around me, attack my friends."

"Tell me where you are so we can be together."

"No, as long as you attack my friends, you attack me."

He could feel her emotions for her friends. He hated that others felt her friendship, her loyalty and yes...her love. He wanted those for him, and him alone. He wanted to be the center of her universe, her reason for getting up in the morning, and yes loving to go to bed beside at night. Not that once he had her, they wouldn't only be spending time in bed together at night alone. He planned on them enjoying one another, finding out which both of them enjoyed. He wanted her to enjoy him, his body, his touch, his kisses as much as he planned on enjoying hers.

Oh, he didn't want their whole relationship to be built on just their attraction to one another. He wanted everything from her, her heart, her dreams, and yes her body as he planned on giving her everything of his in return. Some people thought that intimacy was about sex only. But intimacy is about truth. When you can realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to the, when you stand in front of them and their response is 'you're safe with me' that is true intimacy. He had never lied to her, as brutal as the truth had been, he had been up front with him. He knew she was going to fight every move he made, every step of the way.

As he looked at himself in the mornings, he would see the scar on his face, left by her. She had marked him, just as he had marked her in a way. They were bound to one another in so many ways. It was set up to be a battle of wills.

It was a battle he planned on winning, for both of them.

On the secret rebel base of Oltan, General Organa was with her top generals in how to stop the First Order from overtaking the entire galaxy. Their resources were at an all time low, in supplies and in fighters. Many had left as they had seen the writing on the wall, the Resistance was doomed. It was only a matter of time before Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and the First Order would wipe out the Resistance once and for all.

Leia's heart was saddened by the thought that her own son, Han's son, would be the one who would finally finish them all off. What she, Han and Luke and so many had fought for and sacrificed for would soon end. She knew it, but the fighter in her would never die. She knew that was one thing that had been passed down to her only child.

Ben, sweet little shy Ben. Ben who had loved to be in his father's lap on the Millennium Falcon, along with his Uncle Chewy who would toss Ben up and catch him in his arms. Sweet little Ben who would watch her as she styled her hair and would kiss his forehead as she left to go on another meeting at the Senate.

She had done wrong by him, she knew. Her and Han...the pain washed over her thinking about her dead husband. Dead by their own child. She really has no one to blame on how Snoke was able to get into their little boy's mind and convince him he was unloved, as she as a Senator was always at a meeting of some sort and Han, well Han was off doing Han things. Ben had been so loved, but Ben was also pretty much brought up by nannies and keepers.

Not parents.

Han and her may have given Ben life, but they were not parents to their precious child. When Leia had realized how Ben was being seduced by the dark side it had been too late, Luke had tried to stop it but it was over with.

Ben Solo was dead, the first casualty in the Solo line, but sadly not the last. Luke had tried training Ben to be a Jedi, but he also had seen the dark side rising in him, and had let himself not think for a moment, and in that moment, Ben had just tried to defend himself against his uncle and had stopped Luke from killing him that fateful night.

Ben had then climbed out of the wreckage of his hut and along with others had destroyed Luke Skywalker's Jedi temple, along with the other Jedis who would not join with Ben and his gang that later would be known as the Knights of Ren.

Ben Solo had died that night, literally murdered by his own family and in his place Kylo Ren had taken his place. Kylo and the others had been found by Snoke that very night and been completely seduced by the dark side. He had only been fifteen then and she had not seen her son since then, he would be thirty now, he was known to wear black outfits. And what stood out the most was his choice of headgear, a black helmet that resembles his grandfather's one. Leia had never told Ben about Anakin Skywalker while he had been growing up, instead one day Ben had come home from his teachings and confronted her about if Darth Vader was his grandfather. Leia had asked where he had heard that from and he had only shouted at her, "TELL ME!" She had told him that yes, he was the grandson of Anakin Skywalker, who later became Darth Vader. Ben had been furious upon finding out the truth of his true family lineage.

As Ben had gotten older, his temper was getting worse and worse. So much so that Han and Leia had often had talks at night when they thought Ben was asleep, he had woken up several times after a nightmare had plagued his dreams. Dreams of a man in black with a black mask on, telling him that his parents hated him. That they had never wanted him, and that he would find his truth with the dark side of the force. Young Ben had not known what the dark voice was talking about and had ran to his parents for reassurance only to hear his parents talk about him.

"I'm scared for him, Han." His mother had said.

Ben had watched as his father had hugged his mother and said, "Maybe we should send him to Luke."

Ben's little mouth had trembled open, the voice had been accurate. His parents didn't want him. They were going to send him away. From then on, things were very different with him and his parents. Two days later, they had come to his room and told him that he was going to go and visit Uncle Luke and go on an adventure with him.

Ben's hurt and anger had surfaced at hearing them say this. He stood up from his bed and shouted, "No! YOU JUST WANT TO GET RID OF ME!"

Leia had turned to look at Han who had a surprised look on his face. Leia tried to reassure her son, "Ben, no. We love you but we think that Luke's knowledge can help with your anger."

"LIAR! YOU DON'T LOVE ME!" Ben screamed.

"Ben, that's not true. Your father and I love you dearly," Leia tried again to explain.

Ben just shook his head as the voices from his nightmares started to talk to him. "They are afraid of you. Afraid of your power. They will tell you anything to convince you that you are wanted by them."

Leia put her hand on her son's shoulder, only to have him flinch from her.

"Ben." Han tried to talk to his son.

Ben just moved to stand by his bedroom window, overlooking the city.

"Ben, we're only doing this so that we can get you some help. Your anger is out of control at time," Han said.

"Han," Leia warned.

"It doesn't matter, just get me out of here," Ben said. He was only ten years old but his life was forever changed. Han and Leia's little innocent boy as now gone. Never to return. He went to stay with Luke and Luke thought he had been making progress but Luke also sensed in him a great darkness and one night he thought he could take the darkness from his nephew.

He had been wrong, very wrong. Ben had not been fully corrupted then, but Luke's actions had helped push Ben along with Snoke's voice in his head into turning to the dark side. Turning his back on his family.

*****PAGEBREAK*****

A few weeks later, on a mission to transport supplies, General Organa braced as her ship was under attack from the First Order. She deployed what fighters she could to hold off the attack. They fought bravely but were no match for the First Order who had far more fire power and there were at least outnumbered ten to one with ships. She could see the Finalizer there, she knew her son was on the ship ordering this attack. It was going to end this day, once and for all she knew.

The Resistance's spark would flame would die out. Snuffed out under the boot of her own son.

"General, we have to do something!" Poe yelled at her as he came running into the control room.

"There's nothing we can do, we're almost out of fuel and surrounded and outnumbered. What little firepower we had is destroyed by their fighters," Leia said.

"Then let me go out and blow up some of them," Poe said.

"You'll just die," Leia said.

"Better to die trying than standing here doing nothing," Poe said.

"He's right," Finn said as him and Rose came up to them. "We can't just sit here."

"Then why are they not firing on us now, all they have done is cripple us where we can't move," Rose pointed out.

Leia looked around at her crew, her brave crew who have fought since they were teenagers. As she was about to tell those who wanted to go out and die literally fighting, a static voice came over the comms.

"This is General Hux, I wish to speak with General Organa."

Leia looked at her commander and motioned with her hand to accept it. "This is General Organa."

"If you don't wish for your entire ship to be blown away, you, Captain Poe and Lt. Finn will all surrender. Make your decision wisely," Hux said.

Leia closed her eyes and then re-opened them to look at Finn and Poe. Her decision was clearly made instantly.

"General we can't," Poe said as he saw the look in her eyes.

"We don't have a choice, I won't let everyone on this ship die to save my life. You two will have to make your own call," Leia said.

Poe looked at Finn who just nodded. "I agree."

Rose hugged Finn, not knowing if she would ever see him again.

"General you have an agreement," Leia said.

"Excellent decision. A detainment ship is now approaching, any sign of resistance will be met with immediate consequences." Hux said.

"General, let us fight," a few of the other officers said to her.

"No. The war has cost so many already," Leia thought of Han, Luke and even her own father. "Decades of battles, loss, pain, and suffering have to end. Maybe another generation could band together and finally one day overthrow the First Order, but this fight was over on this day. You all have fought bravely and I know one day all of this will have been worth it."

Leia, Poe and Finn made their way to the docking bay where the detainment ship was waiting on them. They were approached by storm troopers and immediately put into hand restraints. Minutes later they were docking with the Finalizer.

"I've got a bad feeling about this," Poe said.

Finn swallowed several times as he knew why he had been one of those picked to be brought on board. He also knew his life would end on this ship. He hated knowing the pain that Rose was going to go through because of it.

"Gentlemen, it's been a privilege serving with you two. You have made your General very proud," Leia said as they were then escorted onto the Finalizer. As they walked they saw hundreds of storm troopers watching them on their way.

They were brought to the bridge of the ship and as General Hux turned around, Poe said, "I thought I smelled a weasel when we were brought on board."

Hux smiled and nodded to one of the storm troopers, who took his weapon and hit Poe in the gut causing him to drop to his knees. "Anyone else?" Hux asked.

"Now, Captain Phasma will you be so kind to personally escort these two to their new prison cells, while I take General Organa to our Supreme Leader," Hux said as Finn turned to see Captain Phasma standing there.

"It would be an honor," Phasma said as her group started marching Poe and Finn to detainment center.

Leia said nothing as she was marched to where her son awaited her. She knew this would not be a pleasant meeting with him. She was brought to his office where he was standing looking out the window at the galaxy.

"Supreme Leader, the prisoner," General Hux said.

Leia watched as her son turned around to look at her. She was surprised that he wasn't wearing his helmet, but the rest of him was all Kylo Ren. The face of her son looked back at her.

"Leave us," Kylo spoke as General Hux nodded and left with the other storm troopers.

"Have you accepted your resistance is over with now, General Organa?" Kylo asked her.

"I gave up because enough blood had been shed this day," Leia said. It was two fold on her feelings about seeing Ben. He would always be Ben to her, not this Kylo Ren. It was so good to see her son, to see that little boy she had given birth grow up. And the other side of that coin was the painful part was this was what her son had turned into.

"Your miscreants of thieves, traitors never stood a chance," Kylo said.

"And yet somehow we were able to stop your starkiller base from murdering so many more innocent lives," Leia said.

"That was when Snoke was in charge, the First Order will never weak like that again. This is my new Empire," Kylo said.

"You sound just like Darth Vader now," Leia said.

"Good. He was a strong leader and had extreme power," Kylo said.

"Ben-"

"That is not my name and don't repeat it or your two friends who came with you will be severely punished," Kylo threatened.

"Son, doing all this is going to crush your soul," Leia said.

"I no longer have one. My parents never wanted me," Kylo said.

"That's not true, we were so excited when we found out I was pregnant with you," Leia said.

"You can keep telling yourself that if it makes you happy, I know otherwise," Kylo said.

"What do you plan on doing with my crew I left behind?" Leia asked.

"No concern for yourself?" Kylo asked.

"My time is limited, I know this. Being blown out of my own ship into space did damage to my body," Leia said, she was surprised to see a look quickly pass over her son's face.

"If you and your group of degenerates had stop your ridiculous crusade a long time ago that would not have happened." Kylo stated matter of fact. "But to answer your question, your crew is going to a First Order detainment base on Rulan where they will be kept."

"And Poe and Finn?" Leia asked.

"That is why I have called this meeting with you. I'm prepared to make a deal with you in exchange for their release," Kylo said as he took a few steps towards her.

She knew that whatever he had planned would not be in her or Poe and Finn's favor. "What sort of deal?"

"I'm preparing to offer that the First Order will not cross into the Labo region as long as your resistance stays in order," Kylo said. Leia was suspicious and rightfully so as he then added one more detail to the deal.

"Also in exchange for the prisoners that came with you, I'm prepared to release them," Kylo stated.

"What do you want in return?" Leia asked. "I know there's something else to this."

"Yes, I learned to negotiate very early on in my life," Kylo said as he threw a dig at her. He wanted to hurt her for how she and Han Solo had hurt him, had sent him down this dark path. He had felt the light call for him again, that fateful day on Takodana when he had first met her. He remembered the feel of her in his arms, her soft form had felt like a perfect fit, a perfect balance. He was tall and dark and she was small and light. As he had carried her to his command shuttle, other storm troopers had offered to carry her themselves. Kylo had quickly silenced them with a grip of his hands using the force around their throats.

No one was to touch her, but him. No one.

"Go on," Leia said.

"For the prisoner exchange, I request one thing and one thing only," Kylo said as an evil smirk started to form on his face. "The Jedi Rey."

Leia shook her head,, not understanding fully what he was talking about, "You want her as a prisoner in exchange for Finn and Poe?"

"No, if you want Poe and Finn released and not under Captain Phasma's 'techniques', then Rey will become my wife." Kylo stated.

This was his final phrase in getting Rey back. He knew she would do this, she would do anything for her friends. It was one of her weaknesses, but also one of her strengths. He had put pieces into motion for this very moment, yes he was basically making the decision for her, for them. But he reassured him that all this would be with worth it in the end. When he got Rey to admit that they were meant to be together. They were literally born for the other, a mixture of dark and light.

Perfect balance.

One can not exist without the other.

Now he would wait, wait for her anger that he knew would come upon hearing about this deal to end this war. But he also knew there would come acceptance and defeat. In the end he knew that she would agree to this and once he lighted her feelings for him, it would all be worth this.

Now he would wait on his other half to start this.
