Rey wants to help. Wants to join the Resistance and meet Anakin's family and kick Kylo Ren's arse. But - this isn't her choice. Anakin has always made the decisions, guided her on the right path.

She looks over to her Anakin for their answer.

"I'll go wherever you go, Rey."

- right. Okay. She already knows what Anakin wants, what they should do.

"Do you know where Leia is now?"

She nods, a bit tersely. "I'll enter the coordinates when we get on the Falcon."

"Okay. We're taking you to the Resistance, to the General. Everything that comes after that..." she pauses and then backtracks. "We should land in near Kanesi. I have some speeders stashed away, and nobody has lived there for years. We'll blow this piece of junk and be done with it. When we get close enough to Niima I'll contact Unkar. The Falcon has most everything we need, but he can fill up the gas and get her warmed up for us. That way we can be out of the system as quickly as possible."

"This Unkar trustworthy if the First Order comes looking for us? They're going to notice you're gone."

"He is. The past ten years he's systematically shut down all slaving going on the region and offered a safe haven to others. He's good people." Especially with Anakin guiding his mind all the while.

"Right. We shouldn't linger, though."

"We've been waiting for this moment for years - though we didn't know exactly the details. We're ready."

" - How?"

"The Force. It was like... a feeling of great expectation. Patience. That we were needed here. Otherwise, we would have left this world a decade ago."

"...Weird."

"Pretty much. Being a Force wielder means putting a lot on faith."

"Sounds... Hard."

"Not everyone who uses the Force leaves things to faith. One of the - more common traits - of those who use the Dark side is treating the Force more like a tool."

Rey's expression darkens and she looks away, suddenly reminded of Kylo Ren and his words. His everything, really.

"We must be getting close."

They are.

Anakin lands them, quietly and gently, on the outskirts of Kanesi's ruins.

Rey sets to work pulling the right plugs, cutting the right wires and setting it up blow when they're well clear of it. It doesn't take her long. She's been working on ships her whole life.

Then she leads them a few yards away to two hidden speeders she'd put them under a tarp that makes them blend into the surroundings.

"Ready?"

"Yeah."

She's stripped off her armor again, leaving her in just the black under layer.

Luckily, she seems to know how to operate a speeder.

"Your lead."

Rey's eyes flick to Anakin for a moment, but nods and leads the way.

The speeders themselves seem to have an extra bit of power, rocketing them across the sandy dunes with quick effectiveness. It does still take them a few hours to make it to Niima though. Rey having gotten a hold of Unkar many miles beforehand.

There's a bounty out for their arrest - the First Order doesn't rule here, not technically. Technically, this is New Republic space, or at least a forgotten corner of the galaxy the New Republic has decided to not allow other people to squat over.

Getting in's going to be a bit tough. Unkar doesn't have perfect control over everyone greedy enough to report them, nor over the storm troopers sent to 'observe.' They're claiming Rey and Sunn are escaped criminals from within Imperial space. But the First Order can't operate here for long, not without drawing far too much opposition for what was supposed to be a lightning raid over a vital target.

Anakin goes very, very calm, floating off into the Force.

Hiding them entirely versus planting false leads isn't ideal, but they're hoping to keep the matter of which city they're going to concealed - and Anakin doubts Kylo Ren is particularly inclined to let the Force guide him places.

The Falcon is ready for them when they arrive.

Sunn is impatient to get on.

"Which way to the cockpit?" she asks, voice terse, once they've loaded.

Rey walks up the ramp and motions to her right, there's a door right beside where they came up.

"This corridor. Can't miss it. I'm going to Engineering to make sure nothing blows up."

"Right. Your friend still gonna pilot?"

"I'll be able to, but I was hoping to spy on Kylo Ren some. Still - most of the trip should be boring."
