Rating: Who knows

Blocking the Emperor's lightening had been excruciatingly painful, but Starkiller was use to such pain. Though not all at once. But he had to hold on for Juno's sake. For the sake of the rebels. They were counting on him and he couldn't fail now. He wouldn't fail now. When the pain became too much for him to bear, he closed his eyes and waited to be overtaken by the lightening. He wondered what death would feel like. What would happen to him after death? Kota had mentioned some people becoming one with the Force but with all he had done, Starkiller very much doubted that would be his fate.

Suddenly, the pain stopped. The former apprentice to Darth Vader opened his eyes slowly and looked around. This wasn't the space station. It looked like a planet. But was it real? Spotting a tree, he leapt over to it as quickly as possible and hid in the branches. Exposure in an unknown terrain could mean death. He closed his eyes and focused, reaching out through the Force to try to sense if everything he saw was real. It definitely seemed to all be real. The trees, grass, animals nearby, the people, it was all real. The question now became where was he.

There didn't seem to be an Imperial presence on this planet so that was good for him. Bad if it was a Hutt controlled planet. Deciding to stay close to the shadows until he knew more, Starkiller slowly made his way down the streets, keeping the hood of his outfit up to keep his face hidden. There was something about this world that left him uneasy. He didn't like it.

I still have my lightsaber and access to the Force. I can fight if need be... He just hoped to the Force that Juno and his allies were safe. If anything had happened to Juno... The thought made his heart clench and he forced his emotions down. He couldn't be distracted right now. He needed to focus. Deal with the situation at hand. Then try to find Juno. He could deal with asking for forgiveness from the rebels later.

Leia was walking back from her morning shift at the bookstore when she noticed someone quickly move to the shadows behind some trees. Well, that certainly wasn't normal. Also, they felt familiar. While Leia had always been sensitive in the Force even before realizing who she truly was, between Anakin and now Jacen teaching her, she was definitely more aware of recognizing Force presences and the one she felt from the person who was trying to avoid detection was definitely familiar. It was just a matter of placing why that was so. From what she understood, she'd only had three children and one grandchild, all of whom were already here. And she'd know Luke right away. As well as Vader... her father. He had been here as well briefly as had her mother. No. It wasn't the familiar presence of family but it was someone she had met. True, being the leader of the Rebel Alliance had Leia know many people but there was more.

Because of this fact, Leia knew that whomever it was that was hiding was like her. Displaced. And while she didn't think them a thread, the princess made sure she had her lightsaber easily accessible. Just in case this turned into another Alema incident.

And he was moving, keeping his face obscured from view. Just who was this and what were they hiding? Yes, she had told Han she was going to be back early that day, Leia was now distracted in figuring out just what was going on and if this was a threat to those on this planet or an ally. When she finally caught up to the man, Leia tapped his arm to get his attention.

"Are you all right? You look lost."

There, unassuming. Helpful. She would work out the details once she was answered. But her curiosity was piqued by the fact that she felt as though she should know this person and she wanted to see why that was. True she had known her future family just off of Force presence alone before having given birth to the three and raising Allana, so it was possible this was another incident, but something told Leia that wasn't the case. Besides, she was Leia Organa, Rebel Alliance Leader and Princess of Alderaan. She could be cordial and polite with the best of them. Or call people out as necessary. It went both ways.

Feeling the tap on his arm made Starkiller pause. He had known he was beeing followed, but he had sensed it far too late to properly hide. But then, the voice. He knew that voice. That annoying voice that had blackmailed him into destroying a skyhook on Kashyyyk just so he could rescue her. That was the only thing that kept him from drawing his lightsaber and holding it at the woman's throat.

He straightened and looked down at her. He frowned. She was older than when he had last seen her, even though that had been on PROXY's holo-emitters. And he could sense the Force in her now that he was focusing properly on her. He kept his right hand near his lightsaber just in case as well as his hood raised.

"Leia Organa. Bail Organa's daughter. Didn't expect to see you here." There. That was polite, albeit a bit clipped. He still hadn't forgiven her for that skyhook thing. Infiltrating an Imperial planet had been hard enough. Add in he found out he had been living there until stolen by Vader then being told to destroy the skyhook? He had a right to be annoyed with her.
