Aboard Kylo's command shuttle.

Rey had never seen a finer piece of equipment in her life. The cold, gleaming black floors and walls gave it a commanding feel. Kylo had managed to get them each a black cape before heading towards the resistance base. 

She stood with Kylo by her side, his figure still and tense. 

"Ben?" She soothed him through their connection. There were far to many eyes and ears for a talk now. 

He turned his head to look at her. "Yes?"

"Are we going to take prisoners or kill them all?" She looked up at him with big innocent eyes.

"I don't know sweetheart. I don't know." 

"Sweetheart?" She raised a brow.

"You know you love it." He responded cheekily.

"Supreme Leader." General Hux interupted their conversation. 

"Yes General?" Kylo let out a sigh.

"We are here, and the resistance is making a move to attack."

"Destroy them." Kylo gave the order. 

Rey shuddered at Kylo's tone. 

"Sir there is a lone figure approaching."

Kylo cringed. "Fire every gun we have on that man." 

Rey hid her face in his chest as the First Order obeyed. 

The sound of constant firing was the only thing to be heard. 

"That's enough." A small voice near Kylo said. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Hux shouted. The firing stopped. Hux turned to the couple with questioning. "Do you think you got him?"

Kylo glanced at Rey. "Can I kill him please?" He pleaded in her mind. She allowed him to brush his mind against hers for comfort. 

"NO!" Kylo gasped. Luke emerged from the firing zone completely unscathed. Kylo looked at Rey. "I want you to stay here. I will come for you to take down the base." He gently soothed through the bond. 

Rey looked like she could argue but Kylo silenced her with a kiss to her temple. "Please." He whispered. 

"Fine. But come back to me." She kissed his cheek and he straightened. 

"Take me to him. Lady Rey will stay here and command the shuttle in my absence. Her word is my word." He spoke coldly. "No questions." 

Hux stuttered slightly and then nodded his head. "Yes Supreme Leader." 

---------------------------

Rey watched as Kylo walked to Luke. He made quick work of her old Master, then turned and motioned for them to come to him. He clipped his weapon on his belt and Rey ran to him from the Shuttle. A tear streaked down her face and Kylo gently wiped it away. 

"Okay I want all of you to pan out, set guns to stun. Find any life forms and bring them to me. I want you, General and you Phasma, to follow me and Rey. I want forty troopers to follow us. Move out." He yelled. 

The only sound that was heard when they entered the old base was the click of the troopers boots. Death Troopers had been hard to find and recreate but Snoke had made them for Kylo, and now they flanked their lord and lady. They were a fierce looking bunch. Rey was nervous and scared. Kylo felt the conflict inside of her. He needed her to stay strong. 

"Rey. Do it." They could sense the life forms in force. "Tell them who is here."

She breathed in. "Rebels." She called in what she hoped was a steel like voice. "Come out now and we will spare you, don't and we will open fire." She waited for a few seconds. "Okay you have made your choice. On my mark." The darkness seeped through her very being. "Ready... Aim..." She paused. The only sounds around were that of the storm and death troopers preparing their weapons.  

Then a dark haired head peeked up from a behind a barrel. Her senses tuned into that and she motioned for troops to follow her. Kylo ignited his saber. The crackling red illuminated the room. Rey took the hint and lit her own saber. The steady blue filled the room. But wait the blue was slowly transforming to an steady red. She opened her eyes from her concentration and looked wide eyed at the saber in her hands. She had put all the pain and hurt directly into the crystal. Kylo looked at her stunned, then he smiled. 

(rey's saber)

She felt the power of the dark soaring through her. She clung to Kylo's outstretched hand and they rounded the corner. 

------------------------------

Sitting in the corner all huddled together was the last of the resistance. Rey looked at the stunned faces of the people she had thought to be her friends. Kylo motioned for Phasma. 

"REY!" Finn yelled. Rey looked at him. 

"Fire." She ordered in a stone cold voice. 

"Wha-" Finn slumped to the floor as a well aimed shot hit him. 

Shots were exchanged as one by one the Resistance fell. Rey fell into Kylo, knotting his cape in her hands. 

"Shh. You're okay." He wrapped his arms around her. "You are okay." Rey pulled away and looked up at him. 

"Thank you Kylo. I l-" She was cut short by a poorly aimed rebel bullet that grazed her in the side. She fell to the ground as Kylo screamed her name. 

The last thing she heard was a frantic voice yelling for a doctor and a gentle hand touching her side. 

"Rey. Stay with me." 

------------------------------------------

Rey slipped in and out of consious for the next few days as Kylo waited patiently by her side. When she finally came to, she found Kylo sitting next to her and a med droid circling. 

"Rey." Kylo, no Ben, opened his eyes. "You're awake." He snapped to full alert. A smile broke out across his handsome face. It looked good. 

"Your thoughts betray you." He smirked. She blushed. 

"When can I leave?"

"Right now if you wish. I had your apartments made up while you were out and they are ready for their mistress."

"Okay take me please." Kylo helped his flower sit up and then walk slowly to the lift. "We have a ceremony tomorrow marking our ascension to the throne. I was thinking maybe Emperor and Empress instead of Supreme Leader Ren and Rey." They exited the lift and walked down the corridor towards their suites. 

"Yeah a little less confusing."

"My thoughts exactly. Oh this will also be an engagement announcement as much as an ascension."

Rey stopped their forward movement. She looked him square in the eye. "Ben Solo either I just heard you wrong or you just offered up the most unromantic marriage proposal I have ever heard."
