“She’s dead. Been dead for sixty years, didn’t you hear?” Padme’s voice was nothing but ice and contempt. She didn’t know how to handle this–how to handle him, standing in front of her again. Alive. Thriving. Buzzing with… purpose.
“I just need to hold you off enough,” she breathed out again, her fingertips tingling even more but keeping her distance. He was right, as usual. She had no idea what she was doing, she was a ticking bomb and that could serve Kylo’s purpose at one point or another, but she didn’t stand a chance against Obi Wan.
But that was fine. It was really. If this was her way to go, protecting her child, then it was fine. She wasn’t there to protect the twins but she would gladly die trying protecting Kylo.
“Why are you back? You were dead,” she decided to ask instead, clenched jaw giving away just how terribly upset she was–biting back tears and words that would lash at him far more than her incipient use of the force. She wanted to hurt him, for spliting her children, for taking the easy road, for not taking good care of them, for letting this whole mess they were all in happen.
"You hadn’t ruined enough Skywalkers?” she stressed that word particularly hard, hopefully it’ll be like a knife twisting in his gut–a knife she wished she had. “I’m not going to let you hurt him, or talk to him, or come anywhere near him. Do you understand me Obi Wan? You had your chance now go back to wherever hell you were in.”
“Do you doubt that I could put you down, Padme?” Obi Wan asked, coming to stand still before her. There was a good distance between, he did not wish to be within her range because though he could take her, he doubted he would have the will to. However twisted she appeared now, defending the darkness of Kylo Ren, she was still Padme.
“Should I not ask the same of you? Why are you here? You died long before I did and...I never sensed you within the Force.” His eyes narrowed on her. “The Force saw fit to bring me to the playing field, so to say. Rey requires training, a deeper understanding and a better explanation than Luke could give to her. And she needs someone to defend her as Ben has in...you.”
He knew what she was doing and he took her words in with a calm that rivaled his as a Jedi Master. “There are no Skywalkers to ruin. Not really. You know that as well as I do,” he replied, his voice betraying a slight guilt. “Is it not poetic that Leia named her son after me? I will not give up on what I need to do. Nor will Rey. But I will not allow her near him when he is in such a state.”
