[Wolfline]

"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."
"He told me enough!"
Vader pulled his hood back and let go of his mental shields a little, letting Luke see his face, letting him feel his Force Signature. Luke's face changed as everything clicked. "N- no!"
"I am your father, Luke."
"No! That's not true! That's impossible!"

Luke hated him. His son. His only link to Padmé, who was looking dead now. I'm sorry,he thought, I failed you! For if he hadn't turned, she would still be alive. No! Vader stamped down the thought. If he continued to mope over this, it would make him weak. Sidious wouldn't like that. He wouldn't like that at all. Was that all he could do now? Be afraid of his master, be a slave? He chose the dark side to be free, live without- he stamped the thought down again. Thinking about it wouldn't help. He couldn't do anything about it.
------------------
Padmé ran a hand through her hair frustratedly. No, she thought, Thoughts about the past were irrelevant. Focus on the present moment. But she couldn't do that even, for this was a present where her Anakin had turned, destroying cities, planets even- to destroy what she had devoted her life to. She still wouldn't give up on democracy though- as soon as she heard of a Rebel Alliance, she'd jumped at the chance to join- and of course they allowed the former Nubian senator, the voice for peace- to join. The thought that the Republic no longer existed, though, that Anakin was a party to it- it was unthinkable. But... he could still be saved. She knew it when she felt his presence, 20 years ago. she still felt light in him, and she knew that it was still there.
