Return | Network-Video

[Poe frowns at the screen, clearly back in the Fly Good based off of his surroundings. He looks a little different from when he left, carrying a few more stresses, that fly boy smirk gone for the moment.]

...I remember this place. Is BB-8 still here? Reeve? I was-

[He has a bit of a haunted look to him, still trying to come to terms with the sudden flood of memories.]

...I need to see Leia.

[The video abruptly shuts off]

Text- Private to Tommy- Later

Can I get your help with something?

[Enjoy a response instantly. He's just like that.]

You know you can, unless you need to save Space Whales.

Remember when we planted those Koyo fruits?

There's a sapling at the Temple that's important to me. If they're not around anymore I'd like to move it over to the same spot so I could help look after it.

The stuff from your world? Yeah I remember.

And I remember that tree. Ezra took care of it. I still have stuff for moving larger plants. We should do it soon. I don't know how good the soil is outside of the greenhouse for things from other planets.

We can do it now if you want. I need to make sure it's okay.

I'll get the shit gathered from the greenhouse. I'll meet you there.

Hey, you okay?

Thanks Kid.

I've been better, if we're being honest.

Yeah, that sounds about just like what it was like for me back home too. Lotta shit went down.

We'll have to swap stories when we meet up.

You got it flyboy.

[He would have wanted to say something, but by the time Mini saw the message one the set aside comm, Poe had already cut the feed. So Reeve watched the video a few times before composing a message and sending it via text.]

I'm still here. You've been gone for a bit. BB-8 is still here. A few of us have taken turns at helping him. He's with me at my office now. Or, uh... he just went rolling out Mini tells me. I think he's off to find you. Or find that woman he visits to tell her you are here.

How long was it on your end? It seems like a lot has changed...

[Poe may have discovered he's too late to say goodbye to baby-Leia too.]

A week and a half, roughly. Things have been... volatile since then. You're not the only one who disappeared. You're one of few to return.

[He's sorry Poe didn't get to go say goodbye. But he'll still greet the man with open arms.]

May I come to you? Or will you come here? I don't care which. I need to see your face.

...I was gone a year.

[And so much has happened. It's clear in the weight of those words.]

I'll come. Are you in your office?

[A year. Oh god. Reeve's heart aches to hear it. So much. So very, very much can happen in a year. A lot can be lost in a year. Or gained.]

Of course, where else would I be?

[As if he would have left his safe little shelter much without Poe here. Even those who knew him well would have had a hard time stirring him out after Poe left.]

I'll start something to drink.

Something strong?
And maybe see if you can find one of those first aid kits?

[Don't panic.]

[Excuse you he will panic if he wants to.]

I sadly lack anything of strength. If you prefer I can meet you at the Deep End. I'll have to detour to the hospital for a first aid kit, so it might take me some time to make it there.

It can wait. I want to see you first. Stay put.

[That... gives him hope. Hope he doesn't think he deserves. So he sighs and just leans forward on the table, rolling his lightning materia back and forth over it to try and pass the time without going mad.]

[Poe doesn't bother to knock. He's reunited with BB-8 along the way, the droid rolling in after him as Poe hurries to pull Reeve into a tight hug. It feels so strange to think for a year he didn't remember Reeve or any of this place existed.]

...You're getting grays.

[He smirked fondly, teasing rather than admit just how much he'd missed him.]

[He rose when Poe entered, not sure what to do, not sure what to say, but then there were those familiar arms wrapped around him, and Reeve buried his face in Poe's neck just to smell him and feel the warmth of his skin. And if he had to bite his lip to keep from sobbing with relief, no one ever had to know. Not even Mini.]

I am rather certain I was getting those before you disappeared on me, Poe. I've been old since I was twelve.

[Poe might not admit to missing him, perhaps he hadn't even missed Reeve, but Reeve? He was going to say it.]

I missed you. I was glad you might be home, but I missed you.

[He breathed a fond sigh of air through his nose, squeezing tighter with his uninjured arm and pressing a kiss to the side of his head.]

I didn't mean to disappear on you.

[Oh Poe. This time the sob does pull free, just a little. Poe, he's here.]

Did you find love? Happiness? More war?

[Kriff. Poe curses mentally and strokes Reeve's hair, a strangled smile on his fae.]

...Plenty of war. [He wet his lips.] ...Got myself a promotion.

[Which Reeve may be able to piece together means his mentor and mother figure was out of the picture one way or another.]

[Ah don't curse Poe. It's only truly becoming in bed.]

I'm sorry that peace didn't happen. And...

[Oh dear. This was not good. He just wanted to sit the man down and hold him.]

That's why you needed to see the child. Because something happened to the Leia of your time.

[Poe swallowed and nodded curtly, trying his best to hold those feelings back.]

She uh...she passed. I thought I could see the kid and-...I dunno. Doesn't matter, she's gone too.

[Oh Poe. Reeve wanted to squeeze him for that. To hold him close and make him happy. And he doesn't know how to.]

Is there anything I can do for you to make you feel better?

Poe..? Are you all right?

[Poe tries to put on a smile for Omega.]

I'm fine. Lot of people are uh...gone, huh? You doin all right?

I'm okay...

[Her smile is a relieved one.]

BeeBee-Eight was worried when you were away. Are you with him?

[Poe's smile widens a bit, and he pans the camera down.]

He found me in record time. You all been taking care of him? Has he been talking your ear off?

[Omega laughs, giving a wave at the screen to BB-8.]

Good for him.

He kept me and Tony company when we were looking around the hospital. I think he was too worried though, he wasn't all that talkative. But things are okay now, right BeeBee-Eight?

[The droid beeped a cheery affirmative, but did give his Master a questioning head tilt, a little worried still.]

Heh. Well, it might be selfish of me, but I'm glad you're still around, Kid.

[Her smile sobers a little, but she nods, offering a smirk.]

You can't get rid of me that easily.

[ Rey notices the tension on Poe's face, but doesn't care, smiling through the video interface. ]

Poe! They told me you were here, but BB-8 said you were missing.

...Rey?!

[There's a look of relief and surprise on Poe's face. And then something like guilt for being happy to see his friend in a place like this.]

How long have you- Where are you?

[ She can almost tell what he's thinking, it's a conflicting emotion she is sharing, being happy to see her friend but sad that he wasn't home where he belongs. ]

Not long. I think I must have showed up right as you disappeared. I'm in the ship I was assigned to right now. The Starduck? Where are you?

I'm uh- [He hesitates and shakes his head, explaining will take too much time, and he desperately needs to see her for himself.]

I'll come to you.

[ Rey's brow furrows for a moment but she nods her head. ]

Of course. I'll wait outside the ship.

[It's not too long before Poe's making his way through the hangar. BB-8 speeds eagerly towards Rey, chirping his news and trying to catch her up on everything all at once.

Poe's not far behind, and he pulls her into a firm hug, shoulders finally relaxing with the confirmation that at least one of his friends was all right.]

I'm sorry I missed you.

[ Rey is sitting outside the Starduck as BB-8 rolls up and she smiles as he rapidly beeps and chirps at her, filling her in, but when she sees Poe she is so relieved, so happy to see another familiar face.

She returns his hug fiercely, tucking her chin against his neck. ]

It's all right, you're here now.

Poe had obviously left, or at least Tony hoped he was still gone and not just ignoring the knocking on the door. Left after his video, that is--he had left, yes, though Tony hadn't really expected him to come back from that. At this point, that was becoming more of a positive trend. Or could he really count Steve in that dataset? This was not nearly a distracting enough train of thought to keep Tony from bouncing his leg impatiently where he leaned against the locked ship, trying to search the cameras for Poe, tracking any activity from his communicator.

Of course he would have gone to see Reeve, and that wasn't going to be a quick visit. Tony wrinkled his nose at himself, not sure what he was expecting--maybe someone else to open the door? Eventually, he set the radio and receivers down in front of it, bundled together in a waxy leaf.

Poe?

[Relief is fleeting, swiftly replaced with a touch of concern upon his brow.]

You're here. Everything alright?
