The Kids Are Alright

(Hello, everyone! It’s my birthday today, so I made this little thing here to celebrate! This is a tribute to all my friends, especially my writing buddies Ava @fireflyxrebel and @nightglider124 ! Credit goes to @loubuggins for letting me use her lovely BBRae kid OC’s Mark and Maria Logan!)

The Kids Are Alright

«How longer until we get there, Dick?»

Richard Grayson glanced at his beloved wife, as his attention was on the veichle ahead of them. «Not too long, I think. I remember Bruce said the place is just beyond this clearing.»

Kory only hummed in response before looking back to see the kids. Jake was sleeping peacefully, his short black hair messy and unkempt, while Mar’i was bouncing with excitement, her long dark hair fluttering up and down as she did. She always had an urge to explore and see new places, so this idea of going to this new summer resort for a few days was right up her alley.

Kory couldn’t help but smile, her daughter’s happiness being irresistably infectious. It was going to be a very fun couple of days.

It wasn’t even a few moments before her train of thought was halted by the car slowing down to a halt.

«Woah… I think this is it.»

Dick’s exclamation was one that Kory soon shared as soon as she laid eyes on the place. It was a beautiful cabin made entirely out of wood, with a painstakingly-crafted stone pathway that lead to a small beach, a seemingly uncountable variety of flowers growing on both sides of said path, big windows and lanters completing the a look that was luxirous, yet simple.

Kory gave her gobsmacked husband a knowing look. «We get this beautiful home AND a beach?! I believe you said you wanted something small…»

He smirked at her teasing comment. «Well, OK, not TOO small…»

Kory just shook her head at that. «The house, I get. But a beach?»

Dick’s smirk grew into a full out grin, wrapping a strand of Kory’s firery red hair around his finger. «You mean you don’t want to see me in nothing but a swimsuit?»

Kory’s round cheeks had a soft shade of pink in them as soon as he finished that sentence. «While you make a good point, I don’t think we should talk like that in front of the kids…»

«Right, sorry. I’ll just go and get our things.»

Kory turned to their daughter as Dick got out of the car and started unloading the trunk. «So, what do you think, Starshine?»

Mar’i smile was so bright that it lit the entire interior of the car. «It’s soooo pretty! I LOVE IT!»

Her outburst of excitement woke up Jake, who after shaking off some sleep-induced sluggishness, took one look at their home and stared at it with an open mouth.

«Wooooooow… it’s biiiiig!»

Kory giggled at his blunt, yet apt description as she got out of her seat and out of the car, her children following her. The kids got their backpacks while Mommy and Daddy got the heavy suitcases. Mommy carried the bulk of them for the obvious reason that she was stronger than Daddy.

As they unloaded the trunk, the green Smart that followed behind them stopped a short distance away from them. The Logan family emerged from the car in very good spirits, despite the long trip. Raven showed a rare smile as she held the hand of her son Mark in her own and Garfield was laughing alongside his daughter Maria as they raced each other to the house in front of them. As for their luggage, Raven just levitated it to the cabin. It was times like this that she honestly considered her powers an actual blessing.

Raven turned to Richard as he carried two suitcases down the stone pathway. «Just a small resort, eh?»

«Ah, it’s eight of us, we’ll need the space. Especially with our kids having superpowers and all.»

Raven simply hummed in response as she guided Mark towards the cabin, Kory floating beside her carrying several big suitcases. And her two children, who were letting out excited squeals over how fun of a ride their mommy can be.

The unpacking did not take very long, thanks to the fact that most of the residents had superpowers that made it much easier. As soon as the adults were finished, Maria took the liberty of asking what the rest of the kids behind her were thinking.

«Mommy, can we go out and play now?»

Raven gently stroked her green hair, a warm smile on her face. «Go ahead, sweetie. But be careful and be back by lunchtime, okay?»

Maria rapidly nodded her head. «Yes, mommy!»

Mar’i was jumping up and down in joy, as Mark and Jake gave each other a mischievous look. «Alright, play time!»

Jake and Mark took off before Mar’i could even finish her sentence. «LAST ONE THERE IS A ROTTEN EGG!»

The girls were shocked in place for a brief moment before giving chase. «Hey, good boys are supposed to let ladies go first!»

Mark had this to say as he looked back at the girls running behind them. «You’re not a lady, you’re just a sister!»

Gar laughed at their antics as was lounging on the sofa after he set up his and Rae’s room, very satisfied with how the place looked. «It’s a real nice place you got here, Dick. It reminds me of a place I know of, but that’s inside a forest by a lake, not near a beach.»

Dick riased an eyebrow from his seat on the other side of the sofa, his lovely wife snuggling against his shoulder. «Really? It sounds like a pretty cool place. Maybe we should should go there next time we take a few days off with the kids.»

«It’d be cool with me! I know the kids would love it!»

Kory raised her haed slightly at this. «Speaking of the kids, how are the twins fairing, Gar? How are they handling their powers so far?»

Gar shifted his lounging position to and upright one. «Well, Maria is handling hers pretty well. She’s already got a good handle on teleporting and can move some small things with her telekinesis. Mark’s getting the hand of it too, although it can get pretty hard sometimes. So far he’s displayed animal senses and empathy, and these can be very difficult to tone down. Said that his head hurt from feeling to many conflicting emotions all at once at schools, while his animals senses can make it hard to sleep. But that was just at first. He’s been seeing both of us and he’s learned to surpress them to the point where it’s not nearly as much of an issue anymore. It’s worth noting that he adapted to his empathy extremely quickly, even Rae was impressed by how swiftly he controlled it. In fact, these helped him make fast bonds with pets and other animals around him.» Gar’s eyes lit up in happiness as he remembered the Mark’s look of pure wonder on his cute little face when he made his first animal friend, a tiger in a zoo that they visited 2 years ago.

Kory let out a huge smile of admiration for how well Gar had conducted himself. «It all sounds glorious, Gar! I am very happy for you and your family! I always knew you would make a wonderful father!»

Gar couldn’t help but puff his chest out in pride at this. Despite his caring for the kids being entirely out of love for them, it did feel nice to be appreciated.

«Thanks, Kory. So, how about Mar’i and Jake? They doing well, or is Dick being a Dick again?»

Dick rolled his eyes out at this. «Wow, that was almost an hour without a joke about my name! I’m impressed!»

Gar’s signature toothy grin was very quickly formed around his face. «Well,I would make more, but I don’t have much time for dicking around these days, y’know?»

Dick couldn’t hold his chuckle in time. «Mar’i and Jake are doing fine. Mar’i has got a pretty comfortable hold on her powers, while Jake is getting there steadily. He can’t fly like his sister, but he does have super-strength and starbolts, which he used to launch a bully on the other side of an alley 3 months ago. He didn’t get hurt, thankfully. Mar’i has been really helpful to him as he adjusted to his powers. They’re a pretty tight-knit duo.»

Raven came out from the kitchen, with a tray of teacups and a teapot that softly let out steam.«A new Dynamic Duo, eh? Sounds good.»

As the four adults drank from their cups, they couldn’t but think just how far they’ve come in their lives, to the point where they’ve become capable parents when it felt like it was just yesterday that they were teenagers barely able to handle their own well-beings, much less their own. That feeling of accomplishmenmt and pride combined with the warm tea trickling down their stomachs felt them with a feeling of warmth that could be sensed throughout the entire room as their children played outside in the sand, shouting at each other over not being able to use their powers for hide and seek.

When George Lucas released Star Wars for the first time in 1977, he had no idea how much of a juggernaut the franchise would be in the years that have followed. It's become one of the biggest parts of pop culture over the last 40 years with 11 movies released so far. They've made audiences laugh, cheer and exclaim in equal measure.

RELATED: These Are The Only 10 Movies To Beat The Skywalker Saga At The Box Office

And there have also been moments that have forced fans to reach for the tissues. Starting with 1999's The Phantom Menace, every single movie in the franchise has made audiences shed quite a few tears.

11 The Phantom Menace: Anakin's Goodbye

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace introduced a young Anakin Skywalker, who is a slave owned by Watto on the planet of Tatooine. Jake Lloyd's character comes across as sweet and innocent, in stark contrast to the villainous Darth Vader he'd become many years down the line. So that makes his goodbye to his mother, Shmi, all the more tragic.

Anakin and Shmi part ways and fans know they're going down two very different paths, with one destined to become bad and the other helpless to stop it. A close second for Episode I was the death of Qui-Gon Jinn but, given he wasn't in the original trilogy, the writing was always on the wall.

10 Attack Of The Clones: Shmi Skywalker's Death

While on the subject of Shmi, it's time to talk about her sad passing in Attack of the Clones. That movie is fun, keeping the tone light and casual for the most part. But Shmi's death at the hands of the Tusken Raiders is poignant.

Anakin goes back to Tatooine to try and save her, having become aware of her struggles via his dreams. Yet while he manages to get to her, he's unable to stop the person he loves most from dying. The fact he comes so close makes things extra emotional and it's sad seeing Anakin lose control in the aftermath, slaughtering the Sand People for their heinous crime.

9 Revenge Of The Sith: "You Were My Brother Anakin"

The third act of Lucas' prequel trilogy was always going to see Anakin become Darth Vader. That is, after all, the point of all three films. And it's sad when the moment actually happens, with Hayden Christensen's character losing to Obi-Wan Kenobi after a fiery lightsaber duel on the planet of Mustafar.

Ewan McGregor's Kenobi is visibly distraught at seeing his old friend burn as the lava engulfs him, having chopped off both of his legs and a hand as well. The duo had been like brothers over the course of the saga so far but this incident really is the death of that friendship, with Anakin reaching the point of no return.

8 Solo: Qi'ra Snubs Han

Solo: A Star Wars Story didn't fare the best at the box office, with Disney's blockbuster struggling to recoup what it cost to make. While that's the case, however, it's still a welcome addition to the franchise. A young Han Solo is fun to see, while Emilia Clarke's character Qi'ra is an intriguing debutant.

And Qi'ra is responsible for Solo's saddest moment when she rejects Han, sending him on his way at the end of the movie. While he's free as a bird, she's still tied to the criminal syndicate Crimson Dawn. Their love may exist, but their lives have taken them down alternative roads and this is perfectly summed up in this scene.

7 Rogue One: Galen Erso's Death

Rogue One, simply put, is a bloodbath of a Star Wars movie. Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor both perish, despite being protagonists, while Chirrut Imwe, Baze Malbus, K2-SO, and Saw Gerrera all meet their ends as well. Even the villains aren't safe, with Orson Krennic a casualty when the Death Star pays a visit to Scarif.

But, out of them all, Galen Erso's passing is arguably the saddest. Like Anakin with Shmi, Jyn spends many years apart from her father. And when she finally gets to him, she's too late, with Galen dying when a Rebel Alliance ambush comes calling. This ultimately spurs Jyn on, giving her the fire to light the spark to blow the whole thing up.

6 A New Hope: Obi-Wan Kenobi's Death

A New Hope was originally called just Star Wars, only getting a new name when Lucas opted to press ahead with the original trilogy. It was the first time fans got a glimpse of iconic characters such as Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Darth Vader. And it also introduced the character of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Alec Guinness gives an excellent performance as the wise Jedi Master, who acts as a mentor to Luke - particularly after the Empire callously murders his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen. Therefore, when Darth Vader cuts him down, it's a really sad moment. Kenobi would later return but being a force ghost isn't the same as being physically there, meaning he can only do so much for Luke.

5 The Empire Strikes Back: Han Solo In Carbonite

The ending of The Empire Strikes Back sees many of the Rebels' major players in a state of chaos. Luke is left without a hand when Darth Vader slices it off, Lando Calrissian is forced out of Bespin by the Empire and Leia Organa is left crushed when Han Solo is whisked off to Jabba the Hutt by Boba Fett.

Han and Leia have an emotional parting, with the latter finally telling the loveable rogue she loves him. Han merely says 'I know', in one of Star Wars' most famous quotes of all time. And it's heartbreaking seeing him taken away from Leia, though it does set up a rather exciting finale...

4 Return Of The Jedi: Darth Vader's Funeral

For Return of the Jedi, it was a choice between two scenes. The first is the death of Yoda, with the Jedi Master passing away on Dagobah due to old age. But the second is the funeral of Darth Vader. With John Williams' force theme playing in the background, and Luke looking dejected, it's certainly a moment that makes fans weep.

Especially given how, shortly before dying, Vader redeemed himself by throwing Emperor Palpatine down the chute of the second Death Star. Anakin's journey is completed at this moment, bringing things to a satisfying ending. That is until the sequel trilogy came along...

3 The Force Awakens: Han Solo's Death

Han Solo is one of the most beloved characters in the whole of Star Wars. So when it was announced Harrison Ford would be reprising his role for The Force Awakens, it got excitement tingling across the fandom.

But that excitement was to be short-lived, with Kylo Ren brutally murdering his father on Starkiller Base. Ford had hoped to be killed off during Return of the Jedi, but he didn't get his wish. When he did, it was to be at the expense of many the fans who had hoped to see the original trilogy character embark on yet more heroic adventures.

2 The Last Jedi: Luke Skywalker's Death

The Force Awakens decided to hold back the character of Lule Skywalker, instead saving him for the sequel: The Last Jedi. Fans had waited many years to see Mark Hamill's character back in action. And he didn't disappoint, with Luke central to all things that happen.

Yet his death was sad because it deprived the chance to see Luke have a prominent role in the third installment of the sequel trilogy. Having been held back for a year, people wanted more. It was also well handled, with Luke sacrificing himself to save the galaxy in a truly heroic act.

1 The Rise Of Skywalker: Leia's Death

To complete the hat-trick, Leia's death is the most poignant moment in The Rise of Skywalker. For obvious reasons. Firstly, because it allowed people to grieve for Carrie Fisher - who sadly passed in December 2016.

And, secondly, because Leia - like Luke - sacrificed herself. She does this to bring Ben Solo back to the light side of the force and her son doesn't let her down, joining the fight against Palpatine to save the day and end the Sith Lord's rule once and for all.
