Rating: PG
Status: Complete

Corran sat in his X-wing with his baby son in his lap. Valin looked like he was more interested in his hand than in the controls of the starfighter. Corran held the child up as Valin wiggled around. His legs were strong enough so that he could stand with help but he wasn't able to walk on his own just yet.

Corran had just come back from a mission with Rogue Squadron. He'd been pleasantly surprised to find Mirax waiting with Valin to greet him at the main hanger at Headquarters. Mirax had gone to discuss something with Wedge, leaving Corran some time alone with his son.

Whistler, his R2-D2 astromech droid, hadn't been taken down from the starfighter yet. Corran was making sure everything was ready to go for his next flight, watching the maintenance crew scuttle around below him as he checked everything out.

Then, in the blink of an eye, everything just... changed. The scenery went from the hanger to wide open outdoors. Corran blinked again and looked around. "What the..." There were very few buildings around, considering he'd just come a planet completely covered by buildings and skyscrapers. "Whistler, what happened?" he demanded, sitting Valin down on his lap and wrapping an arm around him, hugging him close while he reached forward with one hand to access the controls.

Whistler responded in a few clicks and beeps.

"What do you mean, you don't know?! Where are we?!" Corran demanded.

Whistler informed him that the navigation system either was broken or they were somewhere very very far away from their home galaxy and considering they had just used the nav system, it must be the latter.

"That's impossible. We can't have just... been taken somewhere!" Corran protested. "Alright, hang on... Hold still, Valin," he told his son.

Valin just went "Ba!" and continued wiggling.

"I mean it, kid, I can't concentrate when you're squirming around like that." Corran tried to get Valin to sit still but knew it quickly was a lost cause.

Whistler spoke again, telling Corran that there was someone watching them. Corran shifted Valin so he could crank his head over the side and look down, not realizing that his X-wing had suddenly just appeared out of nowhere on some planet.

Susan had spotted the blinking key and called,"I have this one!" as she grabbed the key and went outside to locate the newest arrival. She slung her bow and quiver over one shoulder as she walked and realized that what she found (after 15 or so minutes of walking) was most unusual and she figured no harm in calling up. "Need a hand up there?" she called to Corran. Of course a young woman dressed the way she was would take a bit to explain but the young queen had done this once before when Bob landed here from Mainframe. For a young lady like Susan seeing a droid would be a new experience and she has no idea of the small child that was along as well.

Corran was a little surprised to see the bow and arrows on the young girls back. First things first, though... "Where am I?" he asked, glancing around. "Don't suppose you have a ladder of some sort," he added. Whistler could get down by himself and Corran could just jump down but he didn't want to with Valin in his arms. He also wasn't going to just hand his son to some random stranger.

At that moment a Golem arrived with the ladder,"Well that was well timed" as Susan set the ladder alongside the X-Wing. She called back to Corran,"My name is Susan and well there is a lot I have to explain to you about this place, but in the meantime do you need any sort of help" sounding way too proper but it was habit for her. "As for your question you are on a planet called Mirage, from what people have told me the planet is alive" she called to explain.

Corran looked at the Golem suspiciously. It was like they'd known he'd be coming here... Was this some sort of trap? Corran held Valin closer to him in a moment of protectiveness. He wasn't sure if getting out of the X-Wing was a good idea. At least he had weapons here. Whistler had his lightsaber and he didn't have a blaster on him. "Okay," Corran said in response. He'd never heard of a planet called Mirage. He ignored that last bit. It wasn't important to him at that moment. "Why exactly am I here? And how did you pull me here?"

"It was not my doing sir" Susan called. She explained,"The planet pulls people from different periods and different places and that otherwise is still a mystery. My home time period is World War 2 England and people here range from all over time". She let Corran see her bow and arrows,"I also am a queen of a place called Narnia and there is an elf here, he was the one who greeted me when I was pulled here. So as someone called it I am a welcome wagon and there is a plaque that is all most of us know so far".

Corran had no idea what World War 2 England meant. Narnia sounded more likely to be true to him. Maybe Narnia was another planet... Possibly beyond the Outer Rim?

By now, Whistler had gotten himself down from the X-Wing and rolled up to the young woman, beeping at her. The woman looked and seemed trustworthy. Hopefully if something happened he could get his lightsaber from Whistler in time... although it'd be a bit tricky fighting with it one handed. There was no way he was letting go of Valin.

Speaking of, the child decided he did not want to be held anymore and let out a loud squall of protest. "Valin, sh!" Corran whispered, not wanting them to notice him. Valin responded by letting out another cry.

"Great," Corran muttered, knowing there was no way she'd miss that. He rearranged Valin so his son was facing him, tiny fists latching onto his shirt, then got to his feet. He moved carefully down the ladder, keeping aware of his surroundings.

	Susan tried to explain what she could about the planet to Whistler as she heard the cries of the small one. "May I?" her gentle nature in full bloom,"I think I may be able to stop the little one's crying" as she started to sing an old song from her time in Narnia. The language was different but it had always worked when Edmund had a nightmare of the White Witch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Indeed, Valin did stop crying and looked at Susan in fascination for a while before his eyes started to wander, taking in his other surroundings. "Thanks. I'm Captain Corran Horn," he said, offering his hand. He stated his rank to let her know he wasn't to be messed with. "This is Valin and this is Whistler." He rested his free hand on Whistler's dome when he said the droid's name. Whistler beeped a greeting.

"Susan Pevensie fair sir" Susan's gentle smile was in full bloom as she offered her own hand. "The resort where we all stay is only a short walk away and I can try to answer any of your questions, granted I am still trying to understand this place as well" offering to carry the little one for a bit. "There are no other small children but there are several others my age" speaking of the few teens she had seen.

"Just so I don't get in trouble with anyone, should I address you as Your Majesty or...?" he trailed off, leaving the question open-ended. He held up a hand quickly when she reached for Valin. "Uh, sorry, I mean no disrespect, but I have no idea how I got here. Forgive me for being a bit wary and wanting to keep my kid close." He glanced up at his X-wing. "Will my X-wing be alright if I just leave it here?" Corran really didn't want to in case something bad happened and his starfighter was taken. It was his way off planet, but he wasn't getting any bad vibes. His instincts were telling him Susan was not a threat.

"Just Susan is very fine sir and I call everyone older than me by the proper name unless asked" Susan cracked a gentle smile. "I totally understand, I would be the safe way if my younger siblings were here" thinking of Lucy and Edmund at that point. "I believe so, I know of another man who arrived here in a different means and nothing has happened to his means of transport" as she sang to amuse Valin.

She tried to explain what she could about both the planet and resort as they walked. "The plaque is all most of us know at the current time" she explained and told a portion of her own story,"I was in 1940's England and then I was here and got caught in a hurricane in the process".

	Corran followed her, taking one last glance back at his X-wing. Whistler trailed along next to him. "Corran's fine," he said, turning his attention back to her. "I know what a hurricane is but I've never heard of England. What does 1940 mean?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Susan tried to explain her home time as best she could,"That is another strange thing about this place, all the time periods of the people. I am the only one from the 1940's but I have heard of almost everything else by now". She explained what she could about the planet as they walked,"To be quite truthful I am as confused as you are, especially with nobody else like me here. But we have an elf and from what I am hearing someone that travels through time"

Corran raised an eyebrow slowly, rethinking about his first assessment of the girl. She seemed, quite frankly, insane. He had no idea what she was talking about, even though he was listening politely. He figured he'd just try and figure out where he was on his own later. For all her craziness, Susan was being very nice and calm. It would be rude to just walk off.

Plus, Valin seemed to like her. The baby let out a coo, trying to snatch some of her long hair. Corran smiled, thinking of Mirax and her short and simple hairdo. A pang went through him as he thought of his wife.

	Susan turned to let Valin play with her hair,"He's adorable" speaking of the little one. She would sing some of the old song to amuse Valin,"But if I may ask, I would love to know more about your time? I'm learning as much as I can from being around everyone here".

"My time? Did I somehow get thrown into some wormhole?" Corran wondered out loud. Either Susan was crazy or he really was far from home. "My time. Uh... Well... We're in the middle of a war. Sort of," he said, more or less unhelpfully. "Squabbling over control of the government and what not. We beat the old bad guys, but they keep on trying to come back and reclaim it."

	"Wormhole?" Susan asked nicely, she was only curious after all. "But I too have seen war, Narnia fought against the White Witch and we along with Aslan won and I along with my brothers and sister ruled Narnia till we went back into the wardrobe" (Reply to this) (Parent)
