He wasn’t sure what to expect on this bizarre planet. The folder had told him both a lot and nothing at all, and he had a sneaking suspicion that he was either having a heat stroke and dying on Jakku, or he was already dead. The thought should bother him more than it did, and maybe it would later, but for now he was focused. He needed to know if any of the rest of the resistance made it here.

He put the call out with a silent plea to the Force, and settled in, determined to wait. But there was a reply almost immediately.

He connected the video call and - blinked, stunned, as he looked in the face of the storm trooper that just rescued him.

Finn? You’re alive!”
flightforfreedom: (telling you how it is)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-19 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
He was too dumb to realise yet that he’d broadcast a signal Finn really shouldn’t know. He also assumed “still here” meant still alive, which he was incredibly greatful for.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m okay, at least I think I’m okay. I feel okay? I’m, uh, they just let me out. I didn’t go far, wanted to do the call out, first. Force, it’s good to see you, buddy.”

“Back home?” He asked, confused. What Home did Finn mean? The Finalizer?

“Uhhh- not sure what else you think could have happened since, like, hours ago. It was a rough landing, I couldn’t eject. No idea where you landed. Honestly, a part of me thought we were both going to be dead—“

“Jakku.” He frowned as he answered, looking really confused.

“Did you hit your head on the way down? I have no idea how we got here, obviously, but I don’t know how you’d forget I was dragging you back to Jakku.”

“Wait, what—“ But the storm trooper was gone.

Poe sighed, looking around, then back as his communicator. No other responses. So it must have been something on Jakku, maybe? That brought both of them here?

He paced as he waited, fidgeting, and he didn’t see Finn appear, but he spotted him soon after.

“Hey, buddy, how—“ He stopped dead when he saw the look on Finn’s face. “Hey, hey— what’s going on? Did something happen? Are you okay?”
flightforfreedom: (that's my jacket)

Poe was taking it in quicker than Finn would have surmised, maybe. After all, he had plenty of proof for some of it right before his eyes. Definitely a planet - a system - he’d never heard of before.

But time?

“Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean, different times? Before the rebellion? Are you talking about time travel?”
flightforfreedom: (intensity while talking)

The Battle of Endor.

That was - that was two years after he was born. That was impossible!

He almost missed what Finn said as he continued, but somehow managed to catch the ‘three days’.

“Right. Okay.” He was frowning, clearly trying to make sense of it and clearly already starting to dismiss it. “Three days. That’s fine, you can catch me up, right? Maybe I just passed out longer than I thought.”

We did?” His eyebrows raised. “Wait, you joined the Resistance? If we found him - that means we found BB-8 and the map!” Force, that was good to hear. He clapped a hand on either side of Finn’s arms, squeezing firmly.

“I knew you were a good man. Welcome to the team, Finn.”

Yeah he figured Finn would keep up the debriefing, but he needed to get that out first!
flightforfreedom: (on the rocks)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-19 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
There's was a slight faltering in his expression, and then a sort of sad smile.

"Yeah, I kind of figured. He would have replied to my signal if he could. You're the only one here, aren't you? From the Resistance. I know what you said about the General and the Battle of Endor, but--"

Wait a second -

"So you've met the General, now? Man, I feel like I missed so much."
flightforfreedom: (got my binoculars where de birds)

That finally brought Poe to a halt, looking at Finn as if he didn't understand. And really, he didn't. Couldn't. None of this place had meant anything at all, and now--

"Two years?" He asked, his voice weirdly hollow and his expression drawing blank.

"This-- This really isn't funny, Finn. There's no way I'd stay away from the Resistance for two years, weird alien tech or not. What are you- Why are you doing this?"
flightforfreedom: (oh.... huh.)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-19 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
He flashed Finn a hard look, but reached out and took the phone. He stared at it for a long minute, and then tapped the screen to pull up another picture.

Then another.

Then another.

The anger disappeared from his face, but the dismay left in its wake was hardly better. After a long moment he finally just lowered himself down to sit on the curb of the road, flicking through pictures of a life he couldn't even remember.

"... This... Two and a half years?"
flightforfreedom: (slow processing speed)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-20 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
The pictures were innocent, for the most part, but Poe's thumb hovered over one of them anyway. It was of him and Finn - Finn was holding and looking at the camera, grinning at it, but Poe was only looking at Finn, with the kind of soft smile he didn't even know if he was capable of, after the finalizer.

He hovered there, not really understanding what he was looking at, and realising:

"... Do I actually want to know?" He asked eventually. "Two years-- Two years is enough time to have a life here."

One in which he was apparently incredibly happy.
