Mara wasn't looking forward to this conversation but she knew that it would have to happen. Skywalker was the type of person who would ask endless questions about things if he wanted to know something. Usually, the curiosity was a good thing but now, she wasn't so sure. so she sucked it up and asked for him to meet her at the bar. She hoped he was still open enough to understand that she had no choice in the matter. It would be interesting to see how it would go.

Ending up at the bar, she ordered a glass of wine and waited for him to arrive. She had considered asking him if he wanted to train her in the ways of the Force but given he came from so long before she thought it best to ask Kenobi. While not at the skill level of Skywalker, he was still an excellent Jedi.

Mara shook her head at that. "I was his Hand, I was the only one," she explained not even realising that there were others like her, all their identities kept secret from each other each one believing they were the only Hand. "I was trained by the Emperor but never that well. I know the basics of the Force but there is much I'm unaware of. I have used it to notice more things, to become more observant as well as to increase my reflexes and reaction times as well as to tell if people are lying but that is probably the extent of what he taught me. He didn't want me to become too powerful," she admitted.

"I was his secret weapon. It didn't matter where I was in the Galaxy he could instruct me through the Force to undertake various missions. Up to the the very last moment he was doing so." She wondered if he would pick up on what she wasn't saying.

Luke found himself wondering if she was related to the Emperor in some way but she didn't seem to be. From what he could sense, she was being honest with him and not hiding anything so she would have told him if that were the case. Her words took a moment to sink it and then Luke looked at her in surprise.

"You were looking for me, weren't you? That's how you knew me and I don't know you." It didn't take much to guess what she'd been planning to do when she found him. "I hope you aren't planning on actually carrying that mission out since I'd really rather not die yet and not in this place." He was pretty sure that if she'd wanted to kill him, she already would have, it wouldn't be hard.

Mara was glad that he had figured out what her mission was. She nodded silently, taking a sip of her drink. "I was and yes you were right that I was tasked to kill you. Good and bad news. I'm from your future and I did kill you it was a clone version of you but it turned off his message to kill you. Not sure how it worked but it worked and that's the main thing. You helped me kill your clone actually," she admitted. "We'd been working together on and off by then."

"A clone?" Luke couldn't imagine how he had been cloned since he thought all the cloning operations had been destroyed. Obviously not because he could sense no deceit on Mara's part. She was telling the truth.

"I'm glad it worked then. I'd hate to think that I died so young." Although if he had died in the war, at least that would have been for the good of the Rebellion. "so this has to be strange for you, seeing me here." It was certainly strange for him, that was for sure.

"Grown in Thrawn's cloning chambers on Wayland. Was called Luuke of all things," she said with a snort. It was grown from the hand you lost at Bespin," she explained after a moment hoping it would make sense to him. "They somehow saved that and your old lightsbaer. I actually have that, you just gave it to me," she admitted. It wasn't on her, she thought it best not to bring it with her to this meeting. She still wasn't quite used to owning and using one.
