Blast From the Past (pm to join)

Kay tried to protest a bit as Hawk pulled her through the crowds, past crumpled buildings where he had said people were already dying. "But-but we could try and--"

It was too late. He had already taken her towards the school. Kay had rarely used her Force powers since Shaw died. She didn't want to attract unwanted attention. But now she had to. She was born and raised to be a healer. Diplomacy was just something to fall back on and do in the meantime. And it was still rather strange, being in the presence of another Jedi, helping him with his mission and everything. But she had to keep reminding herself that it was Hawk.

The building looked like it was on the verge of collapsing, a house of cards just waiting to fall. Carefully she entered inside and spotted a few children hiding under their desks, the classroom wall facing the hallway had already broken apart. Good thing it wasn't a retaining wall. Kay beckoned them to her, quietly, believing that the vibrations caused by a single yell could cause the building to collapse further. After the children left the room and school safely, the real work began.

It never even occurred to Hawk that Kay hasn't been around other Jedi in awhile. It was Kay. He knew that she would want to help. It was in her nature to be kind and helpful.

He glances a Kay and through the force he tells her that they had only a few minutes before the next aftershock. Hawk knew from his vision that the aftershock would cause a rockslide that would destroy the school. They had to save as many kids as they could. Hawk went room to room gathering as many kids and teachers as he could find.

Soon he had a small group of people that he told to wait by the large oak tree. He glances at his watch. It was almost time. "Kay, where are you?" He asks her in her mind.

Having Hawk speak to her in his mind was something that she forgot that he could do. And the first time he did it, it caused her to jump.

As he was busy in one wing of the school, Kay was busy in another. She wound her way through debris and desks, gathering her own group of kids, some even helping her dig others out of the rubble. Hawk's voice in her mind again caused her to jump a little. But she didn't answer for she was much too busy trying to reach just one more classroom and hope to find even one more person to save. And then the ground started shaking. The children started screaming and Kay pushed them to the exit of the building and onto the nearby field. Seconds later the rockslide came. All the children panicked and scattered, trying to get out of the way. Kay picked up a small boy that was lagging behind and ran with them. The noise of the sliding rock and screaming children was almost deafening. But as soon as it all started, it stopped. Everyone in Kay's group then collapsed on the grass in a heap, some if them in shock, some of them holding eachother while others were silently crying. Kay just held onto everyone that she could. "It's okay....it's over. You're safe." She looked about for Hawk. If he had foreseen this happening, then he should know if it were to happen again.

When the ground shook again, Hawk felt himself beginning to panic. He couldn't see Kay. He reaches out to the force and finds her presence. He breathes a sigh of relief. She was all right but in the wrong spot. "Oh no." He says to himself. His voice whispers in her mind again. Kay...keep moving. Find the large oak tree in front of the school. Hurry.. You don't have much time. Before the next one.


Hawk knews from his vision that the people at the oak tree survived when the mountain tumbles down.

Again his voice came into her head, though it wasn't as loud this time. Or maybe she was getting used to it. And here they were just resting! Kay started pulling the others to their feet. "Come on, we need to get to the others quickly. By the tree. I'm sure that they're worried about us." She didn't want the kids to panic, so she failed to tell them the whole truth. She also didn't want to reveal their Force sensitivity just yet.

It wasn't long before they were reunited with Hawk and the others. And seconds later the ground started shaking again. Nearly everyone screamed as the nightmare continued. Kay looked to Hawk as she held onto everyone else, looking for any sign that it'll soon be over.

Hawk was relieved to see Kay and the children. "Stay behind me close to tree." He orders them. The ground trembled and rumbles as the mountain fells to apart causing a huge avalanche of rocks and stones to tumble down toward them

Clearing his mind of distraction and drawing on the force, he pushes the avalanche of rocks and debris away from them. It was taking everything in him to do this.

But it was working..the debris split into two sides going around them and the tree. It was like he created their own little island with the tree as the center.

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay nodded and moved everyone behind the tree, telling the children and teachers to hang on. Again the noise was deafening and the avalanche seemed to take forever.

When at last it stopped, they began to look around as the dust settled. What a sight. Huge boulders riddled the streets, some buildings were crushed and others buried in gravel. One by one, survivors started coming out, almost everyone in shock.

Kay approached Hawk, knowing that he used a lot of energy and puzzled as to how he knew what would happen. The future was always clouded, or so she thought. So how was it that he saw things so clearly? She wrapped her arm around his shoulder for support. "Is it over?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Lady Kay"]

"Yeah I think so." He says to Kay. He was grateful for her support. His body felt weak. His knees kept wanting to buckle. "Help should be here soon. Is anyone hurt?"

A few of teacher glanced at Hawk and Kay. They knew Jedi when they saw them. One of the woman mouthed the words thank you than attended to the children.

She sat him down at the tree as he was using her weight for support. Kay then dug inside her satchel and brought out her water ration, handing it to him. "I think they are okay, a bit shaken up, but okay."

Kay bowed her head to the teacher, though Hawk deserved it more. He was the real hero. "You did really well. You should be proud."

Hawk sat down with Kay assist. He happy accepted the water. He try not to chug down the water but he was so thirst. "Thank you for the water. It helps." He needed to make sure to get some rest soon. It took a lot out of him.

"I'm just glad everything turn out all right." He says modestly. It was hard not to feel pride at his accomplishment. His Master would have been pleased.

"You are rusty. You need to practice more."

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

She sat down beside him and took out a ration bar, handing it to him. Kay shrugged her shoulders at his suggestion that she practice more.

"I wasn't trying to use the Force at all. I didn't really need to. I try not to use it unless I have to." She didn't want to attract bad attention. Not everyone approved of Force users, and then there was a lot of Sith out there too.

"You must have read my mind." He says teasing her. He take the ration bar from her. Quickly, unwraps the bar than takes a big bite out of it. It tasted so good to him. Between this and water, he was feeling much better. More energy.

"Here is our ride." He says pointing out the rescue shuttles coming toward. "Bakura is going to need some help rebuilding from this natural disaster. They could use a corporate sponsor plus a healer to help."

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Kay nodded as the shuttles approached. ArmaTech was well equipped for this. So she got to her feet and told him to stay behind and rest while she got the ball rolling. The teachers and students that were left quickly followed. Rescue looked so good right now.

She bowed her head to them. "Hi..my friend and I got out as many as we could. He's just taking a few moments to rest. If you need anymore help, just ask. Besides helping to dig out survivors, I am the COO of ArmaTech and we have rebuilt towns before, even made them from scratch. Should you need that kind of assistance, just let me know."

Hawk closed his eyes for a moment resting. He turned his face toward the sun feeling the rays on his face. He could hear Kay talking to the rescuer. They would be fool not to take her help.

One of the rescuer came over to see if Hawk needed any help. He opens his eyes. "No, I'm fine." He slowly stands and makes his way to Kay.

The man talking to Kay assures her that he will let the big wigs know about her offer to help. Hawk smiles at the man as he stands next to Kay. The man eyes Hawk. "Your the guy that predicted this would happen right?" Hawk shakes his head. "No, you must have me mistaken for someone else." He says using a Jedi Mind Trick. Hawk didn't want any official record of him being a Seer.

The man rubs his face. "Yeah you right he was much older. Ok let get you guys onboard. We have located the people in a safety zone near the capital."

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Kay nodded to the man and then looked to Hawk, smirking at his use of the Jedi Mind trick. He'll have to tell her about his motives later. In the meantime she boarded the shuttle after the children and teachers did. At least Hawk was feeling better, which was good as they had a lot of work ahead of them.

"I'm surprised that you haven't done a lot of gambling, Hawk. You'd be really good at it." She nudged his ribs with her elbow and gave him a knowing wink.

"Who says I haven't?" Hawk replies joking with her. There was a time he would have done exactly that. Now that he was a mostly respectable man, he would never misuse the force like that.


Hawk sits down next to Kay in the shuttle. He glances over at her than at the other survivors. Everyone was in good spirits. Just happy to be alive. A little boy kept looking at him with awe. Hawk flashes the kid a smile. People in the shuttle knew that they had a Jedi among them. They saw what he did. The press was going to be all over this story.

"When we landed. Let's try to slip away." He whispers in Kay's ear. "I don't want to deal with the media."

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Kay smirked at his joke and then watched the others. At his mention of wanting to slip away she raised a brow as she thought he had wanted to help out and for her company to get involved. But no matter. Maybe he wanted to rest a bit more first. "Alright, not a problem. Don't tell me you're camera shy?" All was said in a whisper as she was sure that he didn't want others to overhear.

"Nah. Not with this handsome mug. I just don't want to answer their questions. Reporters can be so nosy." Kay must have forgotten that Hawk used to perform on stage as danseur in the ballet when he was younger.

"Besides, I need to rest and call my little one. She will be worried sick about me." He says whispering to her. "I can't wait until you met her. I told her story about her aunt Kay."

 

[Kay-Larr]

Luckily Kay had never really had to deal with reporters, even while her and Shaw were negotiating with different groups to prevent wars, as many of that was done out of the public eye.

At the mention of being considered an Auntie, she smiled and whispered, "Well I hope that you only told her the good stuff. It'll be lovely to see her in person."

"Yes only the good. She can't wait to have a tea party with you. That her thing to play. I'm really bad at that. I think she misses her mom being around." He loved talking about his kid,

Shuttle Captain made an announcement overhead. "Everyone hold on we will be landing in the minute". Hawk glanced out the viewport. It looked peaceful. No damage at all.
