Kylo looked down at the man, he sneered a bit. He knelt down to his level and gave a small smirk “Anything? You mean that do you? What do you have to offer me, pathetic man?” he held his hair to make him look at him in the eyes. 

Techie falls deathly silent for a long, long moment. Then he says, quietly but leaving no room for an argument, “Nobody should ever h-have to live in pain.”

He goes to his toolbox and pulls out a small scrap of square fabric. After dampening it under the sonic (thank goodness for the water setting), Techie sits next to Ren on the bed, leaning over to gently wipe the blood off as best he can.

“Looks to me like you *do* need my h-help,” Techie smiles, a little lopsided.

Amile Penne + Techie [Closed]

Techie was more scared right now than he’d been in months. Hux was very careful not to play favorites, especially where his brother was involved, so once in a while Technical Hux found himself part of an offship mission with a bunch of strangers going off to who knows where.

He’s beyond bad at socializing but good enough at doing what he’s told to, so nothing ever goes TOO badly. But something about this mission feels different.

Maybe it’s because the job involves much more from him than the usual “fix anything that breaks.” It’s a covert mission or something like that, he still hasn’t been told all the details.

And now he’s waved goodbye to Hux and his friends, picked up his bags, and boards the new ship on gelatin-shaking legs.

Techie and Adeline Hux [Closed] [Part 3]

Alright. Okay. Maybe this wasn’t a disaster after all, just a blessing in disguise. Techie gingerly picked Addie up and thanked Ren before heading for his room once more. They were going to have to pack, decide where to go, and…also buy Adeline some new clothes because hers were much too big for her now.

Matt watched her while Techie got everything in order for their trip. In the end, he decided on a safe, touristy planet good for families. He didn’t bother to remember the name, it had a bunch of numbers in it, and anyways they’d only be there three weeks max.

What could go wrong?

Techie and Adeline Hux [Closed] [Part 3]

Anger rises in his chest. “But isn’t th-there something y-you can *do*?” He’s getting red in the face. “What’s the p-point of having the F-Force and not being a-able to helo Addie?!”

He looked at the girl “you know there where times when I just wanted to use the force to make her forget her memories because of what your brother did to her? ”

Oh. He’d been so caught up thinking of himself that he hadn’t considered if this was *good* for Adeline. Techie brightened up someehat despite the pain his heart and gave Ren a lopsided smile. “You’re r-right,” he sighed, close to tears, “This can give her a ch-chance at having a n-normal, nice childhood.”

He began to consider maybe taking some leave days to vacation with her, give her good memories to replace the old ones. But it *hurt*, damn it! To so quickly lose his relationship with his daughter and be helpless to get it back.

“If I apply f-for leave with Addie, w-will you convince Hux to let us g-go?”

“P-please! Don’t h-hurt me, I’ll, I’ll do anyth-thing!”

Kylo looked down at the man, he sneered a bit. He knelt down to his level and gave a small smirk “Anything? You mean that do you? What do you have to offer me, pathetic man?” he held his hair to make him look at him in the eyes. 

Techie, meanwhile, had been awkwardly sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for Ren to return. He didn’t know how to return from here to his room, and to leave silently, without any parting words, felt… wrong.

So when Ren burst in, Techie jumped off the bed and went to him, crouched by his side while Ren spat up dark red blood.

He was thrown off by this sudden dramatic entrance but calmly held Ren’s hair back and then, once he’d stopped spitting up, smoothed his dark strands back soothingly. “Um, Kylo? What happened? Are you a-alright?”

And then he added, a little frustrated, “How can I just s-sit back and pretend this never happened? You helped me, so it’s my turn to help *you* now, Kylo.”

His cheeks turned rosy when calling Ren by his first name. The level of intimacy it implied between them was strange, but Techie supposed he owed him that, at least. And so much more too.

“I’m s-scared of being used again,” Techie says, looking down and away from her gaze. “I can’t let people d-do this to m-me again, okay? Even if it’s y-you.”

“ No one is here to use you. I just need some answers, alright?”

This man was a shaky nervous mess before her.

Across from him, she sits in the interrogation room. File in hand, skimming over what little detail she’s gathered on his character. Apart of some organized crime it seemed..

When he came in here, Rosie anticipated on having to rough someone up. She was hoping on it, with the long day she was having. She needed a good fight. But to see this man- no..this boy be the one to show up led to the Angel having to calm down . In fact, looking at him made her feel sorry for the poor kid, and she had to be gentle. Her voice is soft, cautious, and easy as she eyes him and continues.

“..it says here your name is ‘Techie’, that right? Is that your real name?”

He lets out a relieved sigh. This is safe, secure territory. He knows this subject like the back of his hand. Techie stares resolutely at his short, shorn nails and spits out his job description like a machine gun. Better get it over with.

“S-surveil-llance, h-hacking, and systems s-specialist. Maintenance t-too. I’m the eyes a-and ears of Peach Trees. All the tech s-st-stuff you come to me f-for.”

After a pause, “Er, I, uh, I *was* all th-this stuff. Sometimes I w-worked directly w-with MaMa. Most often when all the o-other techs were-” Techie clamps his mouth shut. He doesn’t want to tell her about what happened to his friends. It would feel too much like a betrayal of their final moments.

With startling clarity, it dawns on Techie that he could be disposed of if he doesn’t give the cops anything good to work with. They’ll drop him off on the streets again and some other gang will snap him up.

His eyes shoot up to meet Rosie’s and they’re wide and pleading, message loud and clear: Don’t throw me away.

“P-please! Don’t h-hurt me, I’ll, I’ll do anyth-thing!”

Techie only sighed contentedly and curled himself further into the tangled blankets. He’d spent days with very little sleep and seemed intent on making them up now. Embarrassingly enough, he’d been drooling all over Ren’s pillows.

He opened one eye and gave him a languid, half-asleep smile. “Mmm,” was all he said before promptly dozing off again. He would definitely still be there when Ren returned.

“P-please! Don’t h-hurt me, I’ll, I’ll do anyth-thing!”

With a start Techie felt like something was missing; but he felt so much *lighter* and *good*. He’d gotten so used to fear and loathing coexisting with him that it felt downright ODD to be without them. It was a damn good feeling though.

All the negative emotions were muted and distant, something out of a blurred nightmare you could hardly recall. Even so, his newfound lightness couldn’t stop his eyelids from feeling heavy with exhaustion. The process had drained them both.

Techie sank back down on the bed next to Ren and breathed slowly, evenly, until he fell asleep cuddled into Ren’s side.

“P-please! Don’t h-hurt me, I’ll, I’ll do anyth-thing!”

It took him a long moment before he managed to lower his defenses enough to let Ren slip in without a struggle. Once he opened up a little, Techie’s tight bud of a mind bloomed and fully allowed Ren access.

It was scary to be so wide open and to show him all the horrors he’d lived through, but there was a steady current of calm transmitted through their connection and it felt to Techie like a relieved sigh. He sent to Ren as clearly as he could manage a burst of pure gratefulness and admiration.

It was Ren’s time to do his part now.
