Hello could I get a ship pls. Names Crystal, She/Her, INFP-T, love languages are receiving gifts and acts of service, my hobbies include: crocheting (most of the time I hardly finish a project 💀), baking, and roller derby, some of my goals are to get into college to study environmental science, some of my interests are the paranormal, cryptids and Botany, what i look for in a partner is someone who is loyal, can help me out of my shell occasionally but also understands if the situation becomes to wild overwhelming they can pull back and protective, but also knows how to relax and have fun from time to time, i'm 5'1, and you can use any of the guys! I like the surprise. Thank you!

Hi friend!! Thank you so much for sending in a request!! Also thank you so much for your patience lmao 😅🩷 Also I saw that you like cryptids in your ask and got really excited🤣🤣 Anywho thank you again and hope you enjoy!!

I ship you with...

Babe Heffron!

A song from my playlist that reminds me of y’all’s relationship - I Was Made for Lovin’ You by KISS

How you met

You were investigating the forests of Bastogne looking for the Mahwot

You knew there was some fighting going on in the forest but you were being careful...mostly

You pull a Hinkel and drop into a Nazi foxhole

You try to pull yourself out but the soldier, not knowing you were just cryptid hunting, tries to grab you and take you back to their CP

All of a sudden you feel someone dragging you out of the foxhole and away from the German soldier

The two of you keep running for a bit before your mysterious hero stops you both

Between breaths you hear him say “Are you fucking nuts?! What’re you doing out here!?”

You look up at him with embarrassment in your eyes and

First off babe is just WOW

S T U N N E D by how gorgeous you are

“Um… I was just… looking for a creature…” you say quietly

“W-well you should’ve asked for help! You looking for the mahwot?” He puts on a charming smile but it fails to cover up the nerves he’s feeling

You’re super surprised he knows what that is but before you can say anything you hear a voice yell “Hey Heffron! Where’d you go!?”

He looks towards the voice with…disappointment? Did he want to talk to you more?

“I gotta go, but look me up when the war’s over ok? I’m Babe Heffron”

He gives you an adorable smile and wink before heading back

“And stay away from the foxholes!!”

How he knew he loves you

So it’s after the war and you got a job working for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

Your current work assignment takes you to Philadelphia

After a hard but rewarding day you’re relaxing in a bar when you hear

“Hey! If it ain’t the mahwot hunter!”

You’d recognize that voice anywhere

You turn around and it’s none other than Babe Heffron taking the seat next to you

He buys you a drink and you banter and chat well into the night

It may have been only the second time he’s met you, but he knew then and there you were the one for him

He could tell you were rather reserved but opened up about the things you enjoy, like cryptids and nature and roller derby

You had this look on your face, it was so full of wonder and awe at the things you love and he was just SOLD

Plus you were so kind and sweet when he was sharing things about himself like he’s never felt so loved and accepted by anyone except Guarnere

Y’all were there until last call and the rest was history

A conflict that arose and how y’all solved it

So every other week you and Babe have a date night with Guarnere and Frannie

Y’all were at a nice restaurant just vibing and living your best life

The waiter was nicer than usual but it was nice, even though Babe seemed to get kinda tense whenever the waiter was around?

The tension grew all night until finally Babe just got up and left the restaurant

While you were asking Guarnere what was happening the waiter came back to your table and

“I have to ask, miss, was that man your date? Because, if not, I would be honored to take you to dinner sometime”

Suddenly everything made sense

You sprinted from the restaurant without answering the waiter or a word to Guarnere

Fortunately the restaurant was walking distance from y’all’s apartment so you briskly make your way back home and rush in through the door

Babe is pouting on the couch, arms folded

“Babe, darling, can we talk?”

“Wouldn’t you rather talk to your fucking waiter?”

That stung… Babe never got jealous, so this was new territory for both of you

You kneel beside him and place your hand gently on his knee, looking up at him with sincerity

“Babe, I had no idea he was trying to come onto me, otherwise I would’ve stopped it”

He scoffed and rolled his eyes

“Crystal, he was throwing compliment after compliment at you”

“I thought he was just being nice! He tried to ask me out after you left, that’s when it hit me…”

Babe’s eyes finally met yours, his expression softening

“So you really had no idea he was flirting?”

You shook your head no and saw Babe breathe a sigh of relief

“It felt like you were interested in him… like you wanted him over me”

The words were barely audible, Babe staring at his hands in his lap

Your heart just broke

You gently took Babe’s face in your hands and turned him to look at you

“Edward, there is NO ONE on this earth I would rather be with than you, you have brought more joy to my life than I’ve ever thought possible, I can’t imagine my life without you”

Both of you had tears welling up in your eyes before Babe closed the space between you with a gentle, loving kiss

“I love you babe” “I love you too doll”

You spend the rest of the night in comfy clothes and binging ghost-hunting shows

Guarnere showed up later angry that he got stuck with the bill but that’s another story for another day

Your happily ever after (what your relationship looks like!)

CRYPTID BUDDYYYYYY

The two of you go out all the time to look for cryptids

You also go to the Mothman festival every year

It’s honestly kind of adorable because during the day Babe is like so sweet and encouraging and gently pushing you out of your comfort zone but it always turns out okay because he’s there to help you and support and love you

But at night when you’re hunting cryptids he goes into protective mode

Like EVERY little noise causes him to pull you close and a little behind him, like he will fight Bigfoot if he has to and he’s not afraid to do it

Honestly y’all are just that couple that is so in love and has all of the inside jokes that you say together but no one but you two understand them

A silly headcannon about your relationship!

Ok so for your birthday he took y’all on a trip to Scotland to look for Nessie

Y’all were on a boat with other tourists and it was lots of fun but a little crowded

Babe being protective and adorable tried to use his body to shield you from the crowd but from all the bumping and pushing he just

He fell into the loch

The boat had to turn around to get him and it was a whole thing but also so stinking funny

He has never lived it down

Also Baby Boy SWEARS Nessie touched his foot and he will die on this hill

Thank you again for the request love!! hope you like your adventures with Babe 🥰💕

Forehead Kisses

age in bio when interacting. minors do not interact.

Word Count: 295 | Read it on AO3 | Tag List

König, Simon, and Johnny were all relatively tall men.

König was the tallest. Forehead kisses were never a thing for him. Until now.

He sat down, busy on his phone, only slightly oblivious to the world around him. He was well aware of his surroundings but looked seemingly distracted. You took that opportunity and walked up to him. You kissed his forehead, and for a moment, he barely registered what had happened. He blinked, squinted his eyes, and you stood there. He looked up. 

“What?”

You kissed him again, and he blushed. You smiled, and he processed what was happening or had happened.

“What was that for?”

“Just because.”

He blinked, and his face was still a bright red.

From now on, he would get down to your height, just so you might kiss him again.

Simon, too, was a tall man. Forehead kisses weren't a thing for him either.

He was watching a movie when you snuck in behind him and kissed his forehead. He smiled and looked up. He moved from his seat and turned around to face you.

“Come here.” He said, and you smiled happily as you moved closer to him.

He kissed your forehead back. 

It wasn't often that you would be able to kiss his head, but when you did, he would kiss you right back.

Johnny loved the affection that you gave him. He loved it all. When he thought you were both going to kiss, he leaned in and closed his eyes. Only for your lips to meet his forehead. He opened his eyes and looked at you. You smiled happily; of course you were teasing him. You moved in and kissed his lips this time, and he held you close. He didn't mind the forehead kisses.

As much as I want to write for N'amor of talokan, my brain is switching from him to a lot of comic!Namor, so I'mma start with comic/ animated Namor before, I work out the kinks for K'uk'ulkan fics. Especially some self/oc inserts and I might even mix the two for some fun AUs.

NAMOR AND ISEKAI PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU OLEASE 💳💥💳💥💳💥💳💥

I'm already working on it I'm going to toss some ideas out there working on isekai'ed as a princess to fantasy world, and wakanda's oldest princess, older sister to shuri, younger siblings to king T'Challa.

My #1 post of 2022

Namor fantasy isekai idea

Ok here we go fantasy Isekai au, I love OI novels and comics, and this idea has not left me since.

Here we go:

You are now the oldest daughter of the former king of Wakanda, your older Brother T'challa is now king after your father has passed, and you are the middle child between you, T'challa, and Shuri. Your brother wants to try to make peace with the neighboring countries, sadly some of the other leaders don't have the same mind. With an amazing older brother as king and an intelligent younger sister, the people don't see you as much, especially since you don't have any specialties yet. (Magic is definitely on the table for abilities besides don't a lot of OI leads or princesses have magic ;3) 

The kingdom as stated before doesn't care or really think much of you. You would make a great political bride for peace among the realms. After an attack at the world leaders meeting, you lost your father the king, and "Lost" some of your memories aka when you awoke into this world. It is a world based on a fantasy series you used to read, now the princess of Wakanda you get to see the characters in a whole new light. 

Now for our male lead this isekai Namor, I want to mix both Namor of the comics and MCU Namor for this. Making his kingdom is somewhat difficult depending on which way I want to go with the kingdom, I want to keep Talokan and figure out a way to mix both kingdoms into one for the story.

This Namor will be a mixture of both the comics and MCU. As I said, he does have long hair because I won't lie, the ponytail was pretty nice. He is a king well-loved by all except for some in his kingdom, being the half-human/ Talokan mutant he isn't well-liked by those who hate the surface dwellers and bigotry is still a problem in this fantasy world.

Things are a bit tense between both of your countries. Hopefully, you can ease that tension and make peace between them. He is an excellent king, as noted from all his appearances, he puts his kingdom first. He has a commanding presence, he is in charge and everyone can tell. He is absolutely charming to those he is interested in, and if he falls in love he's going to try to go all in.

I won't lie as I am mixing the comic with the MCU Namor, he is a bit on that possessive side and obsessive, he falls in love and he is passionate about it. Is he Arrogant yes but he can hold it in for a while, his pride is one of his many traits, at the same time MCU Namor has this sweet side to him, a kindness, a playfulness, but also a ruthlessness that he always has when it comes to protecting his people. Anyway, look forward to it becoming a fanfic on here after I work out the kinks in it.

Have you found henry Thompson yet he's by far my favorite operative

Hiya! No I’m afraid I have not. I’m unsure how things work regarding this still but myself and a friend believe that it’s all randomized and finding the exact same person someone else has in their game is almost, though not necessarily completely impossible. We’ve been trying to locate each others fav ops to have them in each others games and so far the closest we have come to it is look a likes who have different names. Do you have any pictures of Henry? I would LOVE to see him though! I could keep an eye out for him then. hehe

Masterlist. // Ner naak Masterlist.

Life could manifest itself in a strange way sometimes. It often had a funny way of interacting with people. It was surprising, disturbing and mysterious. And if you had lived in peace with it for a long time, it had found a scatterbrained way to impose its will on you. 

There was one thing you couldn't lie about. Something was wrong with you. You couldn't say what, you didn't have a better way to describe it either. You just knew it was there. That something was there, peacefully settled in a corner of your heart. It was resting and seemed to be waiting for something to wake it up. 

This thing that had been with you since your early childhood had made you a kind-hearted person, but despite your tendency to love people, it had also made you a lonely person. Not because you were not surrounded by family or friends, no, life had been rather generous on that point, it had made you a lonely person because you may have loved and been loved, it felt as if it was never enough. Like there's a missing piece in the puzzle. It was as if your soul didn't vibrate on the same wavelength as everyone else's. As if you didn't really belong there. 

You could only find inner peace when you walked in the woods with your dog, a 3-year-old Eurasian. Which is what you were doing, by the way. 

Your dog was happily running through the trees. You were watching him do it with a small smile stuck on your lips. Even though he was 3 years old, he still behaved like a puppy, amazed by the slightest little twirling leaf. You loved him a lot. He made you feel a little less alone. 

Autumn was in full swing. The leaves of the trees played with the wind and gave the forest a golden colour. You were watching their dance when you heard your dog give out a curious chirp. 

You looked for him and saw his curled tail waving frantically in a ditch. He started to yelp, jumping back on the path. You thought he had probably found a friend to play with, but when no dog followed him, you felt intrigued. 

"What did you find? " You said as you walked up to your dog. 

He stared at the ditch and his tail waved wildly. He clearly invited no matter what it was to play and out of curiosity you leaned over the ditch. 

Two big brown eyes were observing you curiously. 

A lot went through your mind at that very moment, but no matter how much you wanted to express your surprise, you were dumbfounded.

The little Being you had in front of you looked like nothing you had already seen before. His large ears that he turned to you as he heeded you, his green skin and his little coat left you speechless. 

The little creature was knee-high to a grasshopper and started stammering sounds like a newborn and you blinked several times before you realized that he had just reached out his little hand to you.

You looked at his big eyes without noticing that you had crouched down to offer him your hand. His three tiny fingers had wrapped around one of yours and a slight smile stretched on your lips. 

“But who are you, you little sweetheart?” 

The little Being cooed joyfully and you decided to carry him out of that damp ditch. 

"Look at you, your coat is all dirty, what are your parents going to say, huh? "You said as you gently rubbed the rough fabric. 

Your dog sat gently beside you, raising his head towards the creature in your arms. He waited patiently to make his acquaintance, his tail wagging against the ground. 

You quickly realized it wasn't an animal. The sounds he made, his hands, the expressions on his face. He wasn't an animal, but you didn't know any better. 

"What are you? "You thought aloud.

You took him at arm's length to observe him as a whole and you saw two small feet wriggling in the air under his coat.

"a gremlin? That's really all I can think about.” 

You took the child back against you and you felt your dog getting restless at your feet. 

"Yes, alright, it's coming, sweetie. "You said. "You take it easy, okay?”

You look at your dog to make sure he would be gentle and then crouch down and let your dog sniff the child. 

"Get that away from him! "Someone shouted at the other end of the road. 

The command had caught you so unprepared that you almost fell under surprise. Your heart had gone wild and even your dog got startled as he was so busy discovering his new friend. 

You turned around and saw a man several meters away. Or rather, what seemed to be a man. Actually, you thought that a legged armor was heading towards you. You didn't need words. Your mind was already looking for a logical answer to seeing someone walking in the forest, dressed in armor and a helmet coming straight out of the Daft Punk, and for the time being, its attempts have been unsuccessful. 

You stood up, putting one hand on your dog's head as he took a dim view of that man coming up.  

"He's not going to hurt him. "You said, gently scratching your dog's head. 

" It doesn't look friendly." 

"This is probably because of the whole... um, well, all this. "You replied, pointing to his outfit. "What is it anyway, a cosplay? You know, you shouldn't take it literally when people say you should go out in armor on hunting days."

The man made no reply. He had stopped right in front of you and you couldn't help but inspect the armor with your eyes. The sunrays shone on the metal, which reflected the light like a prism. And then your eyes landed on his helmet. The visor was shaped like a T. You were trying to see his eyes but the black tint was so thick that you wondered if he didn't look on the dark side of life. 

"Give it back to me. "He finally said. 

You looked down at the child who suddenly seemed to have eyes only for this man in armor. Somehow, you felt reassured. You didn't want to leave a child, or whatever that adorable little creature was, in the hands of a dangerous being. Knowing that he knew him and seemed happy to see him removed all of your doubts. 

You handed him the child and the man immediately took him in his arms. You noticed right away that the man had just relaxed. His shoulders had lowered with relief and you watched him looking at the child for a long time. He seemed to check that he wasn't hurt. 

There was something endearing about this sight and you couldn't help but smile at the tenderness that was emerging from this masked man for his little creature. 

"Is it yours? "You asked. "I mean, is that your child?” 

The man turned his head towards you and simply nodded. 

"Forgive me the question, but, what... what is he?" You stammered.

Din was watching you through his helmet. He had never met an earthling before. There were many stories going around about the people of the Earth, many agreed that they behaved like children because the earthlings had too little knowledge about the world around them. Din had heard that they lacked intelligence, that what was unfamiliar frightened them and that their minds were so narrow that they even despised each other. Din had also heard that the earthlings were the shame of the galaxy for their stupidity and clumsiness. 

But after observing you, Din thought the rumors were unjustified. 

"I don't know. "He said. 

"Oh." 

That was all you could find to answer. You looked at the child again, he was desperately reaching out his small hand to you and when you offered yours to him, he grabbed it again, cooing with joy. 

"What a strange little thing you are. " You said softly before looking at your dog who didn't stop staring at the armored man. "Come on, let's go home Y/Dog's/N.” 

You were about to leave when the man called out to you.

"I would like to ask you a favor." 

"If you tell me you're stuck under that Daft Punk helmet and you want me to pull it off, I'm going to laugh." You teased. 

"Beskar helmet." He said.

"Oh, I don't know that band." You said naively. 

"No, It's not... whatever." He sighed deeply. "Do you agree to help me? I can pay you."

"Well, being helpful is free of charge. What do you need?"

Dancing with the COD boys

age in bio when interacting. minors do not interact.

Word Count: 226 | Read it on AO3 | Tag List

Featuring: Johnny, Simon, König, and Phillip

Soap is not a dancer. The most he could do was sway here and there. When you asked to dance with him, he had a brief moment of panic when you asked him. He agreed, but he was nervous. He couldn't dance; he didn't know how. You took the lead, and he was grateful for that. He still wasn't very good, but he was trying.

Simon doesn't dance. He can, but he doesn't. You asked him to dance, and he accepted. He let you take the lead, and he followed along with you. Being his first time, he was surprisingly good. He might also show you some things that he knows.

König and dancing are never in the same sentence together. He does not dance. He doesn't like the attention. Yet, when you asked him to dance, he didn't want to tell you no. So he accepted your invitation. He is very awkward at dancing, and he isn't very good at it. He's insecure that you might judge him for his lack of ability.

Phillip can dance and will. He will gladly dance for you and with you. When you invited Phillip to dance with you, he was slightly surprised that you would even ask a question like that. Of course, he accepted, and he danced with you. He would even show you some new moves.

Delicate {Kylo Ren}

Not Romantic

imagineherbrightskies asked: Imagine kylo walking along the street with some storm troopers and group of homeless kids run through them giving them flowers and the reader being the eldest out of them and giving flowers to kylo and yeah being all awesome

A/N: This is cute and spoiler free, also unedited as heck. It’s a year old. Geeze, I’m really sorry!! BTW the real reason Rigo wanted to hide flowers on the Stormtroopers was for the ~aesthetic~ but he couldn’t just say that. Set 5-10 years pre-TFA.

You were shaking, or, maybe you weren’t, it felt like you should be shaking. You had been living on the streets of Theed on Naboo for the past few years, and in that time you had managed to surround yourself with an adventurous pack of kids in the same situation as you. Naboo was fairly nice, the shop owners had seen your group grow up, doting upon you and giving you any food they could spare, and the generally summery climate meant that nights never got too cold.

On this particular day, you and your friends had decided to amuse yourselves with a game of truth or dare - “Nobody pick truth, truth is for wimps!” - and it had turned into a series of escalating challenges. It was your turn, and you were rather terrified as your best friend, a gungan boy named Rigo Baurs pondered his options.

“You’ve seen those Stormtropers, right?” There was a terrifying glint of mischief in his eyes. You nodded, nervous. The whole marketplace bad been buzzing with the news that a squad of Stormtroopers, as well as an honest-to-maker Knight of Ren, were visiting. No-one really knew why they were here, but apparently the Knight was connected to the Queen, but no-one knew how or why. “Well, I have a challenge for you; you pick flowers from the Amidala Memorial Garden, and then you have to hide as many as you can on the Stormtroopers.” He said.

“What? No!” You cried, “That’s so strange, why?” You spluttered. Rigo shrugged.

“I guess being the oldest means being the most boring.” He sneered, and the other kids jeered you on, “It’s not even that hard.” He said, airily.

“Fine, if it’s not so hard, you have to do it too.” You told him, poking him in the chest. He huffed.

“Easy.” He grinned, but his expression turned soft as one of the youngest, a little girl named Ji-Ryu, who was about five, tugged on his shirt.

“Can we help give the Stormies flowers?” She asked, and a few kids who were also very small nodded vigorously. Rigo paused, torn between looking amused and endeared.

“That’s not what we’re-”

“Please, Rigo , we’ll be nice and we won’t pick the bad flowers.” The girl interrupted, her eyes going wide as she quivered her bottom lip; the kids in your group could do the best puppy-dog eyes, which was great when asking for food, less good when it interrupted a heated match of truth dare or dare. Rigo looked at you, helplessly and you knelt down beside Ji-Ryu.

“Can you help us on a secret mission?” You asked, and her eyes lit up. “When we ask, you have to run in and give the Stormies flowers, be as cute as you can, that goes for all of you-” you pointed at the little kids behind her, “while Rigo and me give them secret flowers, OK?” The little kids began cheering, running off to gather flowers.

“Good call.” Rigo mused, and you smirked.

“Thanks.” You paused, “What if we’re caught? Stormtroopers aren’t exactly known for their leniency.” Rigo snorted.

“They’re also not known for their great aim, so I think if you run in a zig-zag you’ll be fine.” He said, smiling as one of the kids brought you both a bouquet of flowers. Rigo looked from the flowers to you. “First to five?”

“You’re on.” 

You and Rigo spent the rest of the day directing and coordinating your squads of children, intercepting the Stormtroopers while the two of yhou swooped in to place your flowers. The rules were simple; the flower had to stay in contact with the Stormtrooper for a full minute, if it falls off, you don’t get the point. You can sabotage one another, but not violently, and when one person gets to five points, the other person only gets one turn to match them, and the game continues until someone fails.

It was close to the end of the day and you were pretty disappointed, waiting with Rigo to watch the Stormtrooper for the minute where he was securely lodged in between two plates of armour. He had called out to the Stormtrooper during your last go, making the trooper turn and spot you behind him, where you were trying to wedge a flower into the gap between his helmet and bodysuit. You scarpered, running out of them and dropping the flower, terrified, while Rigo simply laughed.

“I said I’m sorry!” He argued after the minute was up. He had officially gained five points and you were stuck on three, with seemingly no hope of return. “Look, I’ve got a final challenge. If you complete it, we call it even and I drop the dare.” He said, ad you narrowed your eyes suspiciously. “The Knight of Ren.” He said and your eyes flew open.

“No. No way. Too far, too far even for you.” You snapped, taking a step back.

“All right, I’m suggesting this because I’m your friend and it’s hilarious; what if we went in all the kids at once, so you’re not going in alone.”

“I’m not going in at all; he’ll literally kill me, Ri.”

“Fine!” He threw his hands in the air, “You flank them and chuck a flower in his hood, like a stealth grenade.”

“Why are you so interested in this?” You asked.

“Mostly boredom,” he admitted, “but also, we’ll never have this opportunity again, don’t throw it away.” You took a deep breath.

“Make sure all the kids get out before I do.” Your voice was even but you were a mess of sudden nerves inside.

“You talk like you’re about to die-” Rigo chuckled.

“Promise me.” You said, jabbing him until he promised. “Give me a flower.” You grumbled, and he did. You waited for him to orginise the children, before he turned to you.

“Alright, they’re going to run in from the front, yelling and throwing flower petals, you’re going to come through the back, going straight through the middle. Toss the flower into the guy’s hood and keep running, OK?” He clapped his hand on your shoulder and you nodded, despite your uncertainty. You slipped through the backk alleies until you were able to see Rigo waiting for your signal. You gave him the thumbs up and the children began to run out through the street, laughing and shouting and distracting the Stormtroopers as you raced through. Your heart was in your throat as the flower in your hand was all but crushed in your grip, but you could see the Knight of Ren in the middle coming up fast and you shoved all thoughts from your mind, throwing the flower at him and continuing on.

You heard Rigo call out for the kids to move out, but a hand grabbed the back of your shirt, and you were yanked backwards. You let out a yelp as you were dragged back by the cold hand of a Stormtrooper, and suddenly you found yourself staring up at The Knight of Ren, a wilted, crushed flower sitting atop his head. It would be funny if it wasn’t terrifying.

“What is your name?” His voice was deep and cold, making you flinch. You were silent. “What is your name?” he repeated.

“[Y/N].” You whispered. He thought for a long moment.

“And what-” he picked the flower off his head with a delicate hand, “is this?”

“A flower.” You whimpered.

“What?” He asked, voice loud.

“A flower, Sir, from the Amidala Memorial Garden.” You yelped, shying away as best you could in the Stormtrooper’s iron grip. “Please, don’t hurt me! It was just a game! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” You pleaded, bracing yourself for anything. There was a long moment of silence and curious, you opened your eyes just a fraction. The Knight of Ren’s mask was terrifying up close; he was squatting down to be at eye level with you, and in one movement, he removed the helmet. 

You were expecting some horrible creature, a monster that would haunt your dreams, instead, there was just a man. He looked older than you, but not by more than ten years.

“I’m not a monster,” he assured you,, before looking at the flower in his hand, “Who is the memorial for?”

“I don’t know- some Queen who died a long time ago.” You mumbled, “There’s a sign there, I think.” You told him. He looked to the Stormtrooper holding you, before waving him away.

“Can you show me the way?” He voice was surprisingly soft, and you nodded, shakily, squirming nervously. He straightened up, gesturing in front of himself for you to lead the way. You didn’t look behind yourself, simply weaving through the well known streets, trusting that the Stormtroopers would keep up. 

The park was beautiful, with a bronze statue of a beautiful woman surrounded by flowers. You turned to see the Knight of Ren gazing up at the statue with awe in his gaze.

“Did you know her?” You asked, it was a stupid question, he was fairly young, but there was an knowing glint in his eye. There was regret in his voice when he answered.

“No.”
