"alright," he said and opened the door with his force

Winter leaned on the door frame and Elias stood behind her.
“Would you like to explain the colors that show up? Like the reds, the blues, the yellows, because we know they have meaning and we would like to understand. And we’d like to help you go through what you’re going through.”

hiro sighed, " red is anger… black is sadness, purple is something new… yellow is guilt.. a darker yellow is regret and blue is tiredness or in my case just.. bing numb." "

Elias leaned in and rested his head on Winter’s.
“Well, we saw all those colors today. Would you like to tell us why you are feeling those ways? You don’t have too, we are hear to listen if you choose to tell us.”

"i.." his voice faulted before tears choked him out. " all I've known for home wasn't even my home! i killed the people I thought were my brothers and they turned so quick to stab me in my back! i just hoped in an icebox and left… i used my powers against them.." h started to sob as his cloud turned a pitch-black, " I fucked everything I called home.everything. i have blood on my hands, and I'm not even an adult yet."

Elias brushed past Winter and wrapped Hiro in a hug.
“Hey kid it’s alright. Never apologize for surviving. Your home was what you made it and it never was what you needed. We’ve come in and made a fresh start for you. You did what you had to do to survive.”
Winter walked over and sat down on the bed.
“You’re not alone in this Hiro. Everyone on this ship has blood on their hands. And I’m not counting Frost out. One day, he’s going to have to make a choice like we’ve all had too. You may not be an adult, but you’ve had to endure several things that I would never wish anyone to endure. And people change. Your brothers made a decision they thought would keep them alive. I hope you realize that you’re alive for a reason Hiro. You had to survive and you had to kill in order to live. You had no choice. Don’t you dare blame yourself for what was done to you and what you had to do in order to survive.”
Elias continued holding Hiro in an embrace while he cried.
“Ya know, this icebox saved your life. And it’s helping to take you to a brighter future. And you know what? I think Winter and I found our topic to debate in the senate. Illegal fighting rings, using children as pit fighters. You can help us, if you’d like to speak to thousands of senators from all across the galaxy. I already know one very powerful lady will be on our side. And more than likely the Skywalker fellow. He’s from Tatooine ya know. And he’s Senator Organa’s brother. That’s at least two people that’ll support us. How about that?”

hiro nodded, his cloud starting to turn a pinkish teal. though he stayed in elias arms a bit longer till he calmed down. he hadn't even realized the small kid coming into his room until it climbed up and onto the bed.

Winter saw her son walk in.
“Baby, I thought I told you to stay with your Aunties. Are you playing hide and seek?”
Frost crawled up beside his mom and crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.
“No ama. I ditched them. Hiro felt sad so I came to fix it.”
Winter furrowed her brows. She watched as Frost started to glow green, as if he was trying to fix a wound. She gently put her arms around her son.
“Baby, there’s this thing you should know. Your power can’t heal emotional ouchies. Unless there’s something you haven’t told me or Ada yet.”
Winter looked at Elias. And he looked back at Winter with a concerned look on his face.
“Son, can you feel emotions? From other people?”
Frost looked at Elias and smiled boldly.
“Yes. And every person has a different color. When you and Ama look at each other before you kiss it’s pink.”
Elias looked at Winter with wide eyes.
“Sweet stars above. He’s a Force Empath. That would explain why he can’t sleep at night. He can’t turn off emotions. And stars forbid we ask him too.”
Winter stroked the head of her son.
“This means as he gets older, he can learn to manipulate other people’s emotions. Hiro here just woke it up. Hiro can project his emotions, and Frost can feel them. Both of them can manipulate them with the right training, but I’m wondering how Frost got the empath part. It could be a side link from the empathy link I share with Estelle. Elias what if we have power that we don’t even know about yet?”
Elias furrowed his brows.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get there Win. Right now we have two things to focus on. Hiro, and Frost. That’s it.”
Winter nodded and held her son in her lap, while Elias continued to hug Hiro.

Hiro slowly fell asleep again, the cloud dissipating and his emotions settling.

Elias picked the poor boy up and set him down in his bed. Winter gently picked up Frost and carried him out of Hiro’s room so he could sleep soundly, with Elias close behind her. Elias closed the door and sighed. Elias look at Winter and Winter looked at Elias.
“We have to tell Estelle and Shiloh. Hiro has his own amount of trauma that he has to work through, and they can definitely help. I know Shiloh can, because she had a very similar situation, and Estelle can because she was an Empire lab rat. And stars only knows what we’re going to have adjust to with Frost and his new empath abilities. Everything is starting to explain itself. And I pray when we get to Coruscant people we need to show up are there. I know Leia can help a little bit with the Force because Luke is her brother, I just don’t know how much. I guess we’ll find out when we get there…”
Elias kissed Winter on the forehead.
“I guess we will hun. At this point, only time can tell what’s going on here.”

thought hiros sleep, memories flared in his dreams, his master, the sand in his toes. the child toy he gave to frost that was once his. his hands clenched and unclenched as he slept.

Estelle burst into the room, quickly followed by Shiloh, who was trying to keep up with her.

"You almost made me run into the wall back there," she muttered, taking Estelle's hand once they stopped in front of Winter and Elias outside Hiro's quarters.

"Sorry, love," Estelle murmured and kissed Shiloh's cheek before turning to the other couple. "Have either of you seen–" Her eyes widened at the young boy in Frost's arms. "Frost! We were looking all over this damn ship for yo–" The curse earned her a sharp elbow to the side from Shiloh. "Sorry," she apologized quickly.

"How's the kid?" Shiloh asked, and by the tone of her voice, it was obvious she wasn't talking about Frost.

Elias held out his arms to take Frost from Winter. He spoke softly.
“He’s not doing so hot. He’s got a lot of trauma to unpack. He’s a lot like we used to be. However, we had each other and a mentor to help talk us through it. We had Essar. This poor boy has had no one. And all of a sudden, it’s like he has a dad and three moms and a little brother.”
Winter nodded.
“He has bonded to us in a matter of hours and days. We’re really the first people to show him kindness. What me and Elias are expecting are nightmares, outbursts of emotion, and periods of time where Hiro is going to break down and not function. And that’s okay. He’s been through too much. No one should have ever had to deal with what he’s gone through. All we can do is be there.”
Elias shifted Frost in his arms.
“However there is a slight issue. Hiro’s force power. It’s growing. Frost has the same power. Win and I haven’t seen it on a such a large scale, but it’s basically emotional manipulation. It’s very rare, but Hiro and Frost have it. And they’ve bonded. Which is interesting. That is why we were destined to meet Hiro. That’s why the Force called out to us. And that is why Win and I believe going to Coruscant is the right call.”

Hiro's black cloud filled his room, his dreams throwing him through memories and times he's tried to forget.

Elias noticed Frost wasn’t sitting sit while he was holding him. He was confused, but not surprised. Until Frost started bawling.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, son. What’s going on? Breathe for me. Calm down. What spooked you?”
Between the sobs Frost managed to get out,
“Hiro. Bad things. No!”
Winter looked at Elias, and they both scrambled back to the room Hiro was in. In a whisper Winter turned towards Estelle and Shiloh.
“Follow us and watch this. I’m going to put some credits on it. When we put Frost near him, Hiro will either wake up, or he’ll calm down. Oh and there’s something you should know. Frost sees emotions as colors, and apparently love between two people is pink. I have no clue what the other colors are for love, but I don’t think I want to know if he knows that.”
Elias slowly opened the door to Hiro’s room and walked in with Frost. He was followed by Winter, and after her were Estelle and Shiloh. The black cloud that was coming off of Hiro filled the whole room. Frost calmed in Elias’ arms, and what Elias could only describe as a force projection he watched Frost glow green, and send out his own emotions to combat those of Hiro. Winter watched on, in wonder.

Hiro's cloud thickened before it went away, hiro had in fact woken up from frost. He looked around for a minute, confused and dazed before his memory caught up. “ sorry…” he mumbled “ I, ahm, I didn't mean to..” he didn't know if he'd done anything but he didn't want to risk It if he did

Elias balanced Frost on his leg and leaned back in the chair in the room.
“Hiro, you don’t have to apologize for anything. We saw the cloud. You’re being attacked by your memories. You can’t change that as much as you could move a planet. You’re going to have to learn how to cope. Because you’re not going to forget. We’re going to help you through this.”
Winter walked forward her eyes glowing with excitement.
“I have one question. What did Frost use to calm you down? What did you feel? Or rather what did you see? Snow? Ice? Us? What did he send to you that brings him comfort?”

“ I- I saw me holding him earlier, and when we made muffins. The warm smell in the air, though I wasn't me.. I saw myself standing with you guys.”

Estelle and Shiloh watched the entire scene play out. Since neither was a Force-user, they watched in shock and wonder at the abilities the other demonstrated.

"Alright, now I feel incredibly left out," Estelle pouted.

Shiloh laughed, wrapped an arm around her waist, and kissed her wife's cheek, which caused her to blush. "It's alright, love," she murmured while nuzzling her nose into Estelle's soft skin. The love between them was palpable.

Winter and Elias smiled at the two.
“We could have never asked for better aunts to Frost. You two are amazing. There’s no way in this galaxy that Elias and I would still be around if we didn’t have you two saving our skins. Now the real question is, what and who are we going to find or tell about Hiro and Frost? Everyone has made the assumption that Frost got his abilities from us. But Hiro? We walk in with him and half the senate are gonna lose their minds. But we think it’s worth the shot. It’s all up to Hiro though.”
Elias shifted Frost on his lap.
“What do you say Hiro? Do you want to go to Coruscant and walk amongst the old Jedi temple ruins and the library, and maybe if we’re lucky, run into another Jedi?”

“ I would be honored to,” he said softly.
Hiro looked to frost and pulled the toy out of his pocket, resting it and handing into frost

Winter smiled and looked back at Estelle and Shiloh.
“Well that settles that ladies. We’re officially headed to Coruscant, and that means you two have to get Royal and Senatorial garb. I’ll contact the Pantorans. They’ll make you the garb. Unless you would like me to contact some other senatorial body? The twi-leks?”

Shiloh couldn't help but smile broadly. She glanced down at Estelle. "I guess it's time to tell them," she murmured.

Estelle's eyes lit up instantly. "Oh, yes! I almost forgot about that! You tell them!"

Shiloh laughed. "Alright, alright, I will." She turned her eyes to Winter, and they shone proudly as she spoke. "Kyla was just elected to be the senatorial representative for Ryloth."

(I forget her original name ripppp Winter do you remember the name of Shiloh's little sister?)
