Instead of cuffing my wrists, Poe grabbed one and dragged me to the underground building. I turned back and mock-saluted the crowd, which I realised was actually a gathering of curiosity not an aggressive stance. I wasn't important enough for that.

Course I'm not, I never was.

"So whatcha gonna do to me?" I grinned, as Poe tugged me along. "Slice my head off? I've always heard decapitation is the easiest form of killing someone."

Poe stopped in front of me. For a second, I thought he was going to turn around and comment back but then he took a turn and I realised he wasn't interested.

"Or maybe I'll get the honour of General LeiLoo force-choking me to death. I'm sure you've heard the rumours, everyone thinks she has it. Maybe she'll wear a Lylo Ren helmet while she's at it. Seems fitting. If Kylo Ren was her son and Darth Vader is your dad." I chuckled to myself silently whilst Poe ground his teeth.

"We have no intention of killing you... Yet." Poe muttered.

"Yet?" I asked incredulously as he tugged me down to the detainment level, it seemed a little unfair that I couldn't just go straight to the execution. "Dang, haven't I done enough? I mean, blowing up your X fighters on Jy-"

"That was you?" Poe spoke in a mixture of annoyance and complete discare. He didn't give two bronze coins about what I'd done to get my neck on the chopping board.

"...And then totally discarding your droids on Xandah... And then the random drugged out resistance fighters at-" I blubbered on until Poe spun me around against a wall. His breath fanned all over me and he gazed me up and down. "Eww. Stinky breath." I complained.

"Look. Neoma. That doesn't matter anymore. The Resistance needs you. We're losing ground against the First Order-"

"The First Order?" I complained. "I thought it was the Galactic Empire."

"That was like... Last century." Poe spoke with a why are you so stupid face. "Anyway. The point is, we need you."

"No, you need me, or maybe you don't, I heard that you've replaced me with a new buddy."

"That isn't the-"

"That's alright." I sniffed. "I can handle rejection, but being replaced?"

Poe put a hand over my mouth the shut me up. He wishes. "You left me first anyway."

I pushed his hand away. "Nuh uh, last time I remember, it was you that walked out first."

"Ugh," Poe groaned excessively. "No-"

"Is everything alright here Captain?" A new voice asked. I turn and saw a tall guy with copper-coloured skin and the same coloured curls. His crimson-coloured eyes flicked back and forth between us. He wore the uniform of someone, higher up. Probably one of General LeiLoo's lackeys. Poe froze, luckily, I did not.

"His lordship believed now was the time to discuss a relationship, in the future, can you ensure he says away from me? Sometimes I worry for my life when he's around." I blinked innocently at the guy who narrowed his eyes at Poe. A few other guards and inmates looked our way as I worked up a scene.

"What? No-"

"There's been a change of plans, I'm to take her to the board." Reddie turned to me. "Come on."

I turned to Poe accusingly. "You were going to take me down to the cell so that I was by myself weren't you?" Reddie began to drag me away, however I began to shout at a confused Poe. "You sick Galactic-Empire bastard! You were going to use me!" I kept screaming extensive profanities at Poe as everyone looked away sheepishly.

Reddie dragged me around a corner and like a switch, my spontaneous dramatics switched off and I walked in silence. I rather enjoyed confusing/pissing off the people around me and Poe was one of my favourite targets. He'd immediately deny the accusations and then suddenly become defensive. It was hilarious.

Reddie led me through a couple of corridors and hallways that mostly seemed like they tracked back the way Poe and I came. Useless Poe, I can't believe you made me walk all the way down to the detention centre to make me walk back all the way up again.

Though, my internal dilemma ended when we walked into the Council HQ room. I looked around at the faces, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable.

"Just kill me now." I muttered.

AN: What do you think Neoma will be accused of? Petty theft? Public nudity?
