P A R T of  finn  wanted  to  laugh,  because  to  some  extent  he  did  know.    he’d  heard  the  stories,  the  things  that  everyone  talked  about  when  it  came  to  the  infamous  luke  skywalker.    of  course,  stories  embellished  everything.    finn  knew  that  too.    but  he’d  lived  through  what  he’d  say  was  similar  events.    war,  chaos,  death  and  loss.  learning  things  about  yourself  that  you  never  expected  to  learn  or  to  know.    

―    ❝I  think  i’d  understand  more  than  you  expect,❞  he  said.    ❝i  grew  up  in  a  space  ship.    white  walls,  white  clothes.    clean  and  boring.    and  i  ran  away  from  it  all.    but  running  away  from  a  powerful  dictatorship  bent  on  controlling  the  galaxy    -    well  i  brought  a  lot  of  trouble  with  me.❞

luke looked at the other young man. he could tell that he had been through hell, maybe a different type of hell than he had, but it was still horrible. he looked at him sympathetic ❝care to elaborate?❞ he asked curiously. he hadn’t been here very long, coming across his mother and father. which still confused him. he was trying to learn and understand everything. 

he had heard about the new dictator, that had taken the place of his father and emperor palpatein. he was worried, because he felt there must be a connection to his family and the new leader of what was being called the first order. how could it be so? after all he was sure that he had no children, he only had a sister, and no other relatives alive. but he kept his thoughts to himself

Rick and Courtney and Rick and Tandy

The sunlight basked onto Rick’s face as he sat against the tree trunk. His umber eyes dropped with a disgruntled exhale following. With his eyes shut tightly, Rick’s fist dug an immense hole into the ground. No matter how hard he tried, anger and rage controlled his every action.  Beth, Courtney, and Yolanda always tried to convince him to be better, but what was the point? That didn’t stop bad things from happening. Henry was a prime example. In the end, he tried to be better and still died. Suddenly Rick heard footsteps approaching. He promptly opened his eyes and glanced at the other with a blank stare. 

“ What”  

This week would mark five months since arriving in Sallow Hills, and although it wasn’t the worst place he had been, Rick undoubtedly did not want to stay much longer. Back home in Arizona was crap, but it was home or at least the only one he had ever known. If Rick were honest with himself, he had stayed and abided by his uncle’s provisions because that town was the only connection and vague picture he had of his parents.

Work at Caffi Rhee was hell. More days than not, Rick contemplated quitting on the spot, but he needed money; after all, in Sallow Hills, he was alone. In part, it was nice not dealing with his uncle’s shit,  but with that comes responsibilities for finances. Luckily he had an hour break; therefore, he typically sat outside in an attempt to clear his head; otherwise, he’d punch everything on sight. Even with the sun out, Rick felt the cool air brush against his cheek. He pulled at his long sleeves slightly. Spring was approaching, but it wasn’t entirely warm just yet.

tandy didn’t miss new orleans. she missed her mom, but she didn’t have as close of a relationship with her. true things were better than they had been, but she was family, but not as close as some people were. her family was at the end of day that role belonged to tyrone. he was her family, her best friend. even that word felt silly. he was more than any word could possibly fit. still she was grateful she had him. he inspired her to be a better person, while accepting her as it. he looked at her as if she could be anything, do anything. unlike her horrible upbringing. she loved that about him. 

tandy was walking through the park, making small daggers. she was trying to keep in practice, since she wasn’t looking for a fight, but it helped keep her calm. the simple act of creating the daggers was a release. she felt as though she was alone and threw the dagger into a tree. it felt good, so she created another one and another one, until she had to stop. she saw another person near by. she didn’t know the young man, then again she didn’t know many people. she looked at him 

❝sorry if i am bothering you❞ she actually didn’t, but what could this guy do about it? she continued to throw the daggers against the trees, making it clear she didn’t care.

The bend between the right side of Tyrone’s mouth curved into a part smile “ I’m okay.” He spoke quietly, with a gust of air leaving his lips, even though she didn’t ask him.  As the male stood up, he could feel one half of his body slightly twinging. “ Lost my balance.“ Tyrone lied through his teeth, with an unnatural laugh following. He had never been good a lying; in fact, Tandy often said he was too honest. Maybe that was true, but Tyrone had been raised in a catholic household, honesty and respect were embedded in him.

“What are you doing out here? I thought I was alone.” The question fell from both brims of his mouth in a dim yet curious tone of voice. Tyrone hastily shifted his glance up towards the girl. The two hadn’t ever spoken to each other in Sallow Hills; though it was hard to know everyone, he would always be concerned for those around him. It was never safe; he learned that the hard way from living in New Orleans. “You good?” Tyrone was trying to quickly avert the conversation in a new direction in the hope maybe she wouldn’t ask about what she just saw.

beth looked at him, knowing he was lying. however beth was too polite to say anything. she wasn’t the type to call someone out. besides he looked a bit shaken by her presents and she wasn’t about to make it worse ❝oh, ok. are you alright? you looked a bit startled❞ 6 months ago the sight of a man appearing out of smoke would be strange, but she couldn’t bring herself to be too shocked. after all she saw a girl with knvies coming out of her wrist and another man turn into ice. 

❝i am so sorry, i was walking home and saw you and got curious. i diodn’t mean.. i won’t say anything.. not there is much to say i just❞ beth was rambling, and she knew she was. it was her superpower after all, at least that was what rick and yolanda would joke. she didn’t mind it, after all it wasn’t like she was ashamed of it. now it seemed inaporoiate ❝i’m beth, i’m sorry to disturb your❞ she made movements with her hands that was meant to look like a cloud of smoke ❝i’ll go.❞

as yasha walked into this new town, the feeling felt all too familiar to her, comfort in the unfamiliar. she was all too used to jumping from place to place. some would call her untrusting, others would call her a flight risk, she saw it as being scared; she was scared of hurting the ones she loved and losing everything. yasha didn’t remember much of what happened prior to her coming into sallow hills, but she thinks she hurt someone, and that was enough for her to run until she couldn’t run anymore.

yasha looked up at a the sign that read “the white rabbit” and took a deep breath. looked like a place she could get a drink before she looked for a place to stay. she wanted to get her feet planted, but a drink couldn’t hurt. she walked in and sat at the bar. she dropped her backpack of her belongings next her her on the floor as she looked around. she ordered a whisky as she relaxed her shoulders, letting the tension in her shoulders go a bit.

beth walked into the white rabbit, trying to charge her phone. she was gonna try and talk rick and see if he wanted to come over. she hadn’t charged her phone the night before. she was watching something and fell asleep. she didn’t know what to do. ❝hi is it ok if i charge my phone? i know i am not 21, but i don’t know of anywhere else that’s not so crowded❞ the bar tender nodded  ❝hi, i’m beth❞ she smiled to the nearest person to her

❝well that’s good.❞ it was good to see her. she was family after all, and he needed family right now. ever since he came here, he had been feeling lonely. he had built a new family with the titans, and now that he was left to his own devices, he felt odd. 

❝steph’s here? what about bruce?❞ he hadn’t seen him in a while, and while they had resolved their issues, but he was still nervous about seeing him. bruce had the oddest way of making him feel like a kid again. maybe it was because he was like a father to him. 

❝hey, why don’t we go out to dinner, my treat and you can tell me all about what’s going on ok?❞ he held out his arm so she could slink hers around his ❝you can also tell me if there’s any special ladies i should know about❞ he smirked.

“Oh wow really?” Ben asked, taken aback by those words. But for some reason he kinda liked that. “Is it a close friend or just someone you know but not that close with?” he then asked, all of the sudden interested in finding out more about this friend of his. Looking like someone’s friend wasn’t something you heard every day. And when you hear it, you want to find out everything there is to know. 

luke smiled ❝he was a good friend. a very good friend. he was like a brother to me, even before he married my sister❞ and just then a flood of memeories came to his mind. he remembered how they had all met, how they fought to save the galaxy together. he missed them. ❝have you always been here or did you just move here?❞ he asked curiously

“Yeah from time to time. But sometimes even I am thrown for a loop” Zelda admitted and smiled as they looked at the other. Especially when it came to the memory aspect of this town. Sometimes they were confused as to why they remembered tidbits and not the entire history of her life. “If your friend is here, you will find them”

❝do you know how we all got here?❞ she was concerned, and it didn’t let up when zelda explained that she would find ty. she was scared. what if she couldn’t find him? what if she was alone? what if she was even worse than alone, because she knew what it was like to have someone.  ❝i need to get out of here, wanna go for a walk❞

❝ forget every lesson daddy taught me ❞ - tandy & kate

tandy looked at the brown haired women and laughed a horse, fake one, but a laugh none the less ❝i can tell i am not the only one with daddy issues. ❞ she had been dealing with the truth about who her father had really been, for some time, and in a way she had been able to move on, but it still hurt. she had been living a lie, believing her parents had a good marriage, but in truth her father was a monster. maybe not the literally one, but he was in a sense. thankfully she had tyrone, but even he couldn’t understand. he was kind, and never judge her, and she adored that about him, but his family had been a happy one, well happy as they could be after his brother died. ❝wanna spill it?❞ she had been sipping on a bottle of scotch, and offered the women some

K A T E  was  lost  in  thought.    she  had  just  spent,  honestly,  far  too  long  in  town  hall,  discussing  some  of  the  things  that  had  been  brought  up  in  her  weekly  lgbt  meetings.    how  the  town  could  work  to  be  more  inclusive,  having  businesses  look  into  gender  neutral  bathrooms,  possibly  having  some  little  pride  celebration  in  june.    the  little  things.    her  mind  was  turning  with  all  the  projects  she  could  put  together.    things  that  could  fill  her  time  and  keep  the  ache  of  not  having  a  use  for  batwoman  on  the  backburner.    there  was  no  need  for  batwoman  here,    but  maybe  sallow  hills  could  use  kate  kane.

╷╷╷    she  hadn’t  even  realized  fully  where  she  was  going,  focusing  more  on  the  to-do  lists  she  was  making  in  her  head,  until  someone  spoke  up.    her  mouth  opened,  half  way  through  formulated  an  apology,  when  it  hit  her.    she  knew  that  voice.      ❝dick  grayson.    always  a  pleasure,❞    she  said,  cracking  a  smile.  ❝i  didn’t  know  you  were  here.❞

dick turned around when he heard a familiar voice and he couldn’t help but smile.  ❝kate kane❞ he simple said. kate was bruce’s cousin, another heartbroken kid who lost family like dick had, but who was much older than him. she was like a big sister to him, always helping, making him laugh, hanging out with him, even though she herself was dealing with the death and loss of her mother and twin sister. bruce was a great father figure, but he wouldn’t have made it through without kate. 

dick walked up to her and hugged her ❝i haven’t been here long. what about you?❞ he asked smiling even wider ❝its been far too long, how are you?❞ he always admired kate for her sense of duty, but also her sense of right and wrong. she never apologized for who she was, and dick silently took note of that and applied it to his own life 

[storytotell]

dick was taking a stroll around the town. he didn’t know this place well, but as the born deactivate he was, he decided to try and figure out, first how he got here, and then why. he wasn’t going to just take it on the chin. he had just established the titans, and of course wanted to get back to them. he often thought about how lucky he was in a way. he had lost his parents young, and he could’ve easily been in a terrible situation, but lucky he had bruce. he wasn’t the most conventual parent, and even though dick went through a small period of time where he resented him, deep down, he was grateful the billionaire took him in. after all, he had given him so much more than just material things. he replaced his lost family from the circus with a new one, and for that he would forever be grateful. he walked down the street, feeling as if someone had been following him. after a few minutes he stopped  ❝if you wish to pass me you can❞ he didn’t even look back

brokenxtragedies​:

Listening to the presumptuous claims cut at Anakin sharply as his mind recollected over all that followed his fall. It was like a faded nightmare that infinitely lived within his thoughts, haunting him. The sith’s eyebrows creased into a stiff wince as a thin gust of air peaked from his lips. Both lines of his teeth clenched together as a strenuous grunt fell from his mouth. “ Stop talking.”  Anakin spoke in a combative tone. “ Who are you to say the Jedi are not the true adversary of the galaxy.” The long black robe dragged as he pushed his feet wearily closer towards the other male. 

The sith began to pivot his body in rigid and harsh circles. “All I had ever desired when I was a kid was to become a Jedi in hopes to protect people" He spoke in an aggrieved tone. "As I grew older, it became clear my ideas didn’t always align with the Jedi, but I stayed because I wanted to help planets who were defenseless without us." His voice cracked before trailing off. Countless planets relied on the Jedi’s aid, and several times the council chose to abandon them if it would sacrifice the mission. "They didn’t always share my sentiments. Cared more for the mission than people, so don’t you dare tell me who is evil .”

Confusion and uncertainty coasted through his thoughts. The more the other spoke and insisted on Anakin turning back to the light, the more Anakin was reminded of his wife. Padme had unyielding faith in him as well.  During  The Clone Wars, she was perhaps his most significant advocate.  "There is no conflict. I did what was necessary to protect my family and will not apologize for that. “ The words skimmed from the rims of his lips in a firm tone before halting his movements. 

anakin’s harsh tone almost killed luke’s soul. he knew it was information overload, and any sane and rational person would freak out at the news. heck he might have a nephew he never knew, here in town, and it was a bit much for him. still, the words were harsh, but didn’t ring true. ❝i am just telling you what happened fath..❞ he paused  ❝anakin.❞ he figured it was better to call him by his first name, rather than address him as his father. ❝i agree to a point that the jedi became corrupted from their original course ❞ he wouldn’t agrue, after all what he had learned it was true 

❝i know the feeling. and all i have ever wanted since knowing who my father was, was to know him❞ and added in his mind, save him. ❝i always felt like something was missing, and while everyone said you were evil, i knew you had to be good. after all how could leia and i be, if you weren’t❞ he realized he mentioned his sister, and felt stupid. if he was denying luke, anakin would surely deny leia 

❝have i asked you to apologize? no❞ he challenged  ❝the conflict in you is to continue on your current path or letting it go.❞ he stated  ❝i know for a fact that it is true. the way you can save your family now, is to turn away from the dark side.❞ he pleaded. he soon stopped. anakin was a big more head strong then the last time they came across one another, and luke determined it was because he had been older, and deep down, tired of it all. ❝do you honestly not believe me?❞ he searched his father’s face

Tilting his head to the side, he frowned. “No. That’s not the name of my parents” he was clearly confused by the question. When it came to his memories, he had long given up on his quest to unlock whatever it is that hides beneath the surface inside that treasure chest. “Sorry to.. disappoint” he added in a hushed whisper.

luke smiled, but it was forced. there was something oddly familiar about the young man, and honestly, he hadn’t felt that kind of connection with anyone but family. however he wasn’t going to push. he had come to learn only a little about this town, but what he did know, was that some people didn’t know who they were before coming here, and to shatter that would be cruel. ❝sorry you just kinda look like a friend of mine❞ he could see han in the kids face, but his eyes were all leia.

benjagirl32​:

Padme looked at the male for a minute as she tired to place where she may have known this person. He had seemed so familiar yet she couldn’t quite place where he had been from.

When he went on to ask if she had been the queen and senator of Naboo, married to Anakin Skywalker she was taken a back for a minute. How had he known everything about her. It was when he said he was her son she gave small nod.

“Yes that was me, queen, senator, and married to Anakin Skywalker. You are so grown up now. The last time I saw you was right before I died. I always wondered what you and your sister got up to after that. You look a lot like your father you know” she said softly. She couldn’t believe that she was standing here talking to her son. She never thought that she was going to even see any of her kids again. Even then she would have never known what to look for anyways. 

Luke couldn’t help but smile in relief. she knew him, or at least knew of him. after all he had only been a baby when she died, and while he knew of her, he also didn’t know her. how was it you could not know someone and yet love them? was it just because luke wanted to know her so bad? no he had loved his sister, and had no idea he had one. there must be some mystical connection between family that surpass all reason.

luke nodded, still smiling ❝yes i am. i grew up on tatoonie with uncle owen and aunt beru. i was also looked after, although i didn’t know it, by obi wan.❞ and then craziest sensation came over. he stepped forward and hugged her. it was like he was hugging leia. that simple and warm feeling of home washed over him. his aunt and uncle hadn’t made him feel anything less then their own child, but they weren’t blood relatives. here she was his mother, and he was so happy.

luke pulled away and said ❝sorry i have honestly wanted to do that my whole life.❞ then he paused suddenly it hit him ❝wait, how are you here? you died giving birth to leia, my sister and i.❞ he wasn’t sure if she had known she had given birth to twins. ❝is this some kind of jedi test?❞ he was suddenly scared. he just got his mother back, but what if it was all lie? what if it was fake? his heart sank

Laughing softly, they then nodded. Crawling on the ground wasn’t something they normally did but that didn’t mean they had any issue getting their hands dirty. Sometimes they even preferred it compared to long nights in a ballroom, dancing with people that did not matter. Since January 2014. What about you?”

Tandy looked at the dark haired women before her ❝wow a long time. so you kinda get this town a bit?❞ she then added  ❝i have only been here for a few months, but to be honest its kinda a blur❞ she admitted  ❝i mean i still don’t know how i got here. and i can’t find my best friend, whom i am traveling with❞ she admitted, feeling a bit worried

    alma formed her lips into an ‘o’ shape before letting out a chuckle. she wasn’t expecting the other to be so demanding. did she, in fact, feel threatened? she lowered on of the blades until both of her hands were on the chain binding the two. with her right hand, she started twirling the blade while staring at the other. “i’m just practicing. can’t you tell?” she mentioned, arching an eyebrow. then she glanced her eyes over to the side to point at the tree that its bark was now covered in slashes.

    while the blade was still spinning in the air, she released the chain so the blade flew across, clashing with one of the trees closer to tandy, enveloping it in a tight embrace with the chains. “did you want to join? poor trees don’t fight back.” 

tandy was used to defending herself, she learned to fight young, after all she became a street kid in new orleans and it wasn’t exactly a picture perfect city. being a young women she had to protect herself. then she discovered her powers, and she was even more lethal. she could make daggers of light, and just recently realized she could make a sword, although she hadn’t practiced it much 

she shrugged  ❝sure, if you want❞ she concentrated and before she knew it. the light dagger slowly turned into a sword. she was happy. she wasn’t sure if she could just do it on command ❝so what were you practing for?❞

brokenxtragedies​:

Before Tyrone could react, he felt the warm embrace of Tandy’s body pressed lightly against his. “I missed you too.”  His voice was almost hushed. The two stood in silence, savoring every second of this moment, which felt like being home again. Hastily the male pulled away as his dark chocolate eyes attached their gaze to Tandy. “So no smart remark?” The teasing question skimmed from the rims of Tyrone’s mouth as his cheeks lifted with a bashful but wide smile spreading across his face. The two had come a long way from trying to ignore the connection they had with one another to what they are now. 

Tyrone was the first to realize how much he needed her, but Tandy took a little longer. She was different than him in almost every way imaginable. On paper, they shouldn’t work, but somehow they do. He came from a privileged life. Both parents still together, and he went to private school, all tremendously different from her. “When I thought you weren’t here___" Pausing briefly, another exhale fell from his lips. In truth,  he was not even sure how to explain the fear that had been riding in his mind for weeks. 

Tyrone bit the bottom rim of his mouth slightly as he slowly ran his hand down to Tandy’s. The tip of his fingers brushed against the dorsal of her hand gently, moving his fingers into hers. His dark brown eyes fell to their fingers now interlocking. "I meant it when I said I couldn’t imagine my life without you." The words glided from his lips softly in a genuine tone. Before Tandy, Tyrone was being swallowed by the past. Every day he became angrier at the injustice of his brother’s death, which nobody seemed to care about anymore. Not that he was shocked, it was just another thug on the street gone to them.

 It is 2021, but society still only sees one thing when they look at him, black skin. If it came down to it, they wouldn’t hesitate to shoot at Tyrone, and the worst part is, police especially would get away with it as they did with Billy years prior and so many in his community. Watching an officer shoot at your brother for no reason can screw with you, but then Tandy came into his life and probably was the first person who was just as messed up as him. And though their demons are different, she got it.

tandy honestly was so happy to see him, she couldn’t think of anything smart to say. she had missed him so much. after all he was like a piece of her soul. he wasn’t her other half, but the one person who made her feel. tandy loved to tease tyrone, because he was so serious sometimes, and it made smile. his smile tandy concluded, was so nice and genuine that nothing bad could exist with it. the realization he missed her too, felt like cool water to her dry soul. 

❝i mean i could’ve said it took you long enough to find me, or something equally snarky but i figured it was better to remain nice so you would forget how snarky i can be❞ she joked. ❝i missed you❞ she admitted. there was a warm feeling spreading throughout her body. she was still so close to him she could smell his familiar cologne or body spray or whatever it was, it was like home. ❝where have you been?❞she hit him in a playful matter  ❝do you know how hard it is to pretend people aren’t annoying?❞ 

tyrone had been smiling at her, and what she had felt earlier was true. nothing bad could exist in a world with his smile. they both had a horrible trageys, but tyrone always rose above it. tandy was petty and had turned to crime. she wanted to be more like tyrone, but not having him around wasn’t easy. he inspired her to be better, but accepted her as is. made her feel like she was good enough, but also showed her she could be better. 

❝i am tired of dealing with people today, lets go somewhere to hang out, just the two of us❞ why that idea made her excited she didn’t know. after all they had spent so much time alone in the past, but this felt different. was it just because she missed? or was it something else stirring? it couldn’t be. she knew the type of girl he liked. she remembered Evita. she was beautiful, likeable, easy going, and tough, without being angry like tandy. that was simply not tandy, so she brushed off the thoughts as just missing her best friend
