I brought the message; I’m the pilot

@pamarthen

Bodhi leaned back against the wall, watching the stars overhead. He wondered if the light from Jedha would reach them, or if by now the last rays of light had passed them by and his home had gone dark. He glanced at the young woman keeping him company as he watched the night sky. She was kind. Kind in a way pilots in the Empire had never been. Kind in a way that reminded him of the hearts that Jyn and Cassian kept hidden, in a way that spoke to him of home.

“What’s it like, flying an X-Wing?” He might’ve been a pilot for the Rebellion, if the universe wasn’t as cruel as it was.

i was bad at these before but like this for a short starter (one paragraph) from bodhi!

#; out of character tag #(also if you have any preference for what the starter is about lemme know)

thedefixnt:

“That’s the thing. Growing up, I didn’t know. Stormtroopers, they’re meant to be smart, but we’re supposed to be ignorant, too. Those are different things. And when there were things I didn’t like, I knew I’d get – reconditioned for it. I let myself be scared until I knew that was where I was headed. It was escape or get found out. Looking back, I wish I’d been able to take people with me. I know there are more out there. People like I was. There was this stormtrooper, Slip - I don’t think he really saw things like I did, but I think he could have started to.

He got killed. First mission out.”

Finn clears his throat.

“Did you? Get right with yourself?”

“I think dying for a cause helped,” Bodhi said softly. He could still feel the heat of the grenade. “But no. I don’t think I did enough. I was complicit in so much evil. Even just as a cargo pilot. I helped drain my world of resources. Worse, I helped build the very thing that destroyed it.”

He swallowed hard. “I was there the day NiJedha was destroyed. I saw my entire world - everyone I ever knew - turn to ash. Because of the kyber crystals I took to Eadu. I should’ve died there with my people. Or should’ve died so the rest of my crew, so Jyn and Cassian, could’ve lived. But I was too late. Too late to make things right. Nothing I did after that will ever make up for all the things I was complicit in.”

“Sometimes it feels like it was too late,” Finn admits. “I did it because I was scared. I had an opportunity - they’d kidnapped a pilot. Sometimes I think if I was brave, really brave, like everyone keeps saying I am - I would’ve tried leaving earlier, even if I didn’t make it.”

“It was my first mission out. There were innocents out there. We weren’t returning order to the galaxy, like they’d said we were. We were creating – death. We were death. It was just a life I was living until the first missions out – killing these poor miners, just for asking for something better.”

Bodhi listened, then shook his head. “You had a window of opportunity and you took it. And, if the stories I’ve heard are true, you made a difference. And even if you hadn’t, choosing a better life, even if it’s a quiet escape, is a brave. Staying and fighting is courageous but so is just living.”

He paused. “I understand though. I was a coward until I met Galen Erso. He met me the night my mother died, when I was at my lowest, and told me I could get right with myself if I was brave enough to listen to what was in my heart. It took too long though. For me to listen.”

“ i don’t see what’s to miss about desert planets. i’m from one myself. ”

“The people. The culture. There’s a lot more than just sand there.” Bodhi sighed. “Not like there’s any point in me missing it now though. We all know Jedha’s gone.” He shook his head, then glanced at the other man. “Sorry. I don’t remember your name.”

#; middle of the road is a dangerous place to be ( neutral)#(does bodhi know anakin is vader? or is he just being super casual with a guy who helped destroy his planet?)#(probably the first tbh because unless someone gave him the skywalker lowdown he's just a confused person when it comes to ~the force~)

“ don’t you feel that fighting like this is both immature and a little past your time? ”

Bodhi let out a huff of frustration. “Why don’t you kriff off somewhere else? If interacting with me is so beneath you?”

Send my muse “👀 + a question” and they’ll have to answer with 100% honesty.

No deleting questions, either!

“That’s the theory.”

It was more than a theory, it was fact. Finn knew they took their Stormtroopers as children - he’d seen others through levels of his training. Younger ones. Never babies, but he knew that was where they started.

From birth. From birth.

“I don’t remember them. The First Order are my only memories.”

That fact horrifies Bodhi. The Empire conscripted teenagers into their ranks and pressured women and men into enlisting but they never abducted children. He hated the First Order as much as he did the Empire, with a vicious fire that coursed through his veins. “But you didn’t have a choice, and when you had one, you took the right path.”

He frowned. “It’s so easy, when you don’t think you have any other option, to make the wrong choice. Clearly, you’re stronger than you give yourself credit for, if after all that...that torture, you found your courage.”

" Do you have any remorse? "

“Of course I do. When I saw the galaxy for what it was, and not what the First Order wanted me to believe it was, I was ashamed. I’d been a part of that.”

“I understand.” Bodhi fiddled with his goggles. “But you shouldn’t feel guilty. You didn’t have a choice.” He paused. “You said you were taken as a child, yes?”

Anonymously send me what characters you ship my muse with!

Bonus points for why!

“Be more careful next time. I don’t want to bandage you up again.”

Bodhi grimaced. Of all the people to injure himself in front of, it was Luke Skywalker. In his short second life he’d heard all about the legendary figure. It was a shame they’d just missed each other before. “I didn’t know Rebellion heroes did stuff like this. Patching up the little guys.”

both defected, were reprogrammed, their last lines are towards someone who reprogrammed them, and died alone…

“Do you trust me?”

“Of course I do!” Bodhi snapped, fiddling with his goggles nervously. “But if there’s anything danger, Cassian will be kriffing furious. Especially if anything happens to you, because then I’m a dead man.”
