Episode 9 Thoughts

TBB Season 2 Spoilers

Here we go! Another great episode with some good stuff to talk about so let's get into it!

Soundtrack is incredible as always. Loving the slightly western tones. It's kinda giving TLOU meets RDR2.

PRETTY PLANET!!!

The planet designs this season have been awesome. ✨️

They're on a mining mission???

Well, work is work I guess. 🤣

I love that they're addressing the fact that Echo being gone means they need to reevaluate how they split up the team on missions.

They've worked with a squad of 4 before, but when one of them is a child that makes things a little trickier.

Omega misses Echo. ☹️

Same, girl. Same.

"Omega's a child. She shouldn't be living a dangerous life". *proceeds to make Omega extract highly explosive substances*.

THE ONE TIME THE DOOR TO A SHIP IS ACTUALLY CLOSED AND IT STILL GETS NICKED?!

Might explain why SW characters always leave the door open.

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE!

So much bickering between Wrecker and Tech this episode. 😬

The kids are struggling. They're children of divorce. 😔

I'm kidding, but they're obviously all about stressed out atm. They all need a spa day.

Also, is this the longest we've seen them spat with each other? We always had the odd frustrated comment but they're being particularly snarky this episode.

Echo, pls come back. It's all going wrong and it's only been 5 minutes since you left. 😭

Well that explains the weird Lion King cryptic tweet.

Poor Wrecker. 😭 He just got stampeded over.

Great, now we're all stuck in a dark cave. Wonderful!

Omega constantly trying to comm Echo. 🥲

He's doing important stuff, sweetheart, but I'm sure you can talk to him again.

Hopefully. 🥲

"What is your issue?"

Tech, honey. Nooo. 😭

I'm not gonna call him an arsehole for that because he didn't know he was doing anything wrong but oh dear.

WRECKER'S DISAPPOINTED HEADSHAKE! 😭

I thought Omega was just gonna walk all the way down the mine for a second.

Brothers call each other out on their (even if unintentional) shitty behaviour and we love to see it.

Tech looks so cute with his eyes peaking through his helmet. 🩷

Omega, honey. You can't reach the thing. Stop reaching for the thing!

THIS IS WHY YOU STOP REACHING FOR THE THING!!!

Tech jumping in straight after her even though he can't see what's down there. 🥺

Actually, I don't know why I remembered this bit just now but I gotta mention it. Echo is Havoc 4 and Omega is Havoc 5. Did they cut Crosshair out of the number system??? 😭

And if he rejoined, would that make him Havoc 6 or would he get his old number back???

Anyway, back to the almost drowning.

Hunter knows somethings up. 😬

I actually really love the use of Hunter's senses this episode.

I thought they were gonna find an alternate route, not have Wrecker and Hunter also go down the waterfall. 😭

WITH EXPLOSIVES MIND YOU!

Awww. Tech talking about his emotions!

I love that he's explaining to her that he processes emotions differently. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that he works through them in a different way.

Crosshair mention as well! 😭

That fact that Tech says he has to respect both of their decisions!

Tech may not agree with Crosshair's choice to stay with the Empire, but he understands that it's his brother's decision. It reminds me of "Understanding you does mean that I agree with you".

Tech cares about both of his brothers and yes, he misses them, but he manages his feelings in his own way. 🥲

I'm worried about the Tech hate that's probably gonna come outta this episode though. Some people already don't enjoy his bluntness and I worry they're gonna come after him for being a "dick".

He just processes emotions differently!!! He's not a bad person!!!

Aw, no Tech and Omega hug. ☹️

Way to ruin the moment, Wrecker. 🤣

Green cloudy sky is giving Mando S3 promo. 💚

Ooooo, more drama with Cid.

Hopefully they'll finally pull themselves together and acknowledge the fact that she's basically just screwing them over.

Sexy Hunter's-hair-in-the-wind shot.

AHHHHH WE GOTTA WAIT NOW 😭

First time we've had a two parter this season where we've actually had to wait for part 2.

Overall, I really liked this episode! I know there's going to be people jumping on it saying "it's just filler" and "it isn't progressing the plot". Emotional development is development! Let them all talk about their feelings!!!

They're clearly all struggling a bit with Echo leaving. Everyone is tense and bickering with each other, and while I know the guys are talking about how they need to accept it and move on, they're clearly all thrown off by the whole situation. I'm also happy that they're addressing the fact that Echo not being there requires them to rethink how they split up the squad. Three adults and a kid is a hard group to divide up.

Omega constantly trying to call Echo for help breaks my heart. She misses him, we miss him, his brothers miss him. There's gonna be a lot of missing him until he comes back. ☹️ I do wonder how often they actually keep in touch with him, though. Is Omega chatting to him when she can normally, or is it just because they're stuck and need his help this time?

I'm also really glad to see more Tech development! Yeah, he screwed up with Omega earlier on in the episode, but he worked through it. He's not really used to this type of thing but he's trying. And he acknowledges that they're a family. 😭

Also, I didn't mention this in the bullet points because I only just remembered this but Omega using Tech's words at the end! About how they can find a solution like they always do!!! I love seeing the little bits of influence that all of the guys have on her.

But, yeah! Long thoughts post today. Didn't expect to say quite this much but I'm missing Echo and I'm a stickler for emotional moments so I really enjoyed this episode.

Now we just have to wait a week! 😭

I mean not really a spoiler, but after that Episode, I am going to throw up. I now hate everyone and everything.

I must get a doot

ha?

every single person who reblogs this

every

will get “doot doot” in their ask box

tumblr cooking literally anything

Tumblr finally gives us the option to poll each other and the first immediate thing we did was have a poll that was just racing a snail, a caterpillar, and a worm.

And it was so magnificent that both bug and bug race are trending.

I love you guys. I could kill you for not crowning worm the winner, though.

Aftermath of episode 8.

I know in my heart the Batch will unite at some point. But until then, god damn does it suck.

My birthday is this month! Could I request Crosshair doing something special for female reader on her birthday?

Birthday Surprise

Crosshair X F!Reader

Exactly as the request asks 😊

warnings: none, pure fluff.

A/N: bestie, I am so sorry for the delay but happy belated birthday to you. Enjoy @ilovebadboys … ANOTHER CROSS FIC? IN THE SPACE OF A FEW HOURS? Of course 💋

Masterlist

“Alright, open your eyes.”

All week Crosshair had been planning this surprise and all week you have been none the wiser. Of course you may have hinted that your birthday was coming up but you didn’t necessarily expect anything from him. Money was tight and the boys had been exceptionally busy so when he came ‘home’ to surprise you, you didn’t expect another array of surprises.

He had practically kidnapped you, scooping you off your feet after he dropped off your gifts, hailing down a galactic cab to reach your first destination which was a lovely restaurant. The food was delicious and it was more enjoyable for you to see him eating food that wasn’t a shared ration bar and gunk from the Kaminoan Cantina.

After that, he took you to a bar where a few drinks were on the cards and it just so happened your favorite local band was playing! Although a little embarrassing that the singer dedicated a song to you after learning it was your birthday which left you red in the face. Crosshair could not stop smirking.

You were thanking him for the lovely night, ready to go home but he takes your hand and shakes his head. “Night’s just getting started.”

He tells you to keep your eyes closed as you walk through the small town and you’re trying to picture the route in your mind but nothing is coming up.

Once your eyes open, the biggest grin plants on your face to see the Marauder perched on a hillside with some familiar faces standing in front holding a large banner.

“The banner was the kids idea.” Crosshair grumbled as he stared at the bright and glittered exploded birthday banner, seeing his brothers and sister waving over to you.

“I can’t believe this!” You say with a laugh, waving back before looking up at him. “You told me they went back to Kamino.”

“What? And have them miss your birthday, baby girl? I don’t think so.” He says with a coy smile, wrapping his arm around your shoulder as he escorts you over to the others who gave you a mix of hugs and pat on the back for your special day.

The night ahead lead to many fun games, some drinking when Omega finally dozed off to sleep, and surprisingly to you; dancing.

Crosshair of course wanted nothing to do with most games and dancing but gladly watched his brothers (mainly Wrecker) dance about which was just him jumping up and down and throwing you about. One by one, the others had called it a night which just left you and Crosshair to sit by the makeshift campfire, cuddled up under a shared blanket.

“Had a good day?” He asks, moving soft circles along your back with his dexterous fingers.

“Perfect,” you sigh happily, resting your head against his shoulders “didn’t know you could pull all this off.”

He scoffs a little and shrugs nonchalantly, feeling a little modest. “Yeah I can’t take all the credit but the others helped me with ideas a lot… but I will take credit for this.” He says with a cool tone, leaning down and capturing your soft lips with his own.

You melt into him, unsure if it was the heat of the bonfire or the scorching of his lips that were making you turn to a puddle in his grasp. When he pulled back, the look in his eyes was nothing short of adoring.

Never had he thought he would have this connection with someone. Never would he think he would do all this for someone who he loved or someone who loved him. “Happy birthday mesh’la.”

You thank him with another soft kiss and enjoyed this rare moment with the Marksman, engulfed in warmth, happiness and pure love.

Interrupted

Crosshair X F!Reader

word count: 2.1k

Crosshair tries to talk to you but no matter what he does, he always gets interrupted. So what happens when you go talk to him first?

warnings: none, fluff, slightly insecure reader and Crosshair. Not proofread. Female reader. Sorry for the wait @kaitou2417, enjoy 😊

Masterlist

Crosshair had been eyeing you from a distance, observing you as you sat outside the Marauder with your head buried in a datapad. Meanwhile, he was leaning against one of the many trees of Endor, nervously tapping his foot as he tried to muster up the courage to approach you.

Despite living in close quarters on the Marauder for the last few months, he had never truly spoken to you beyond a passing remark or two. He had overheard you talking about a book series that you were entranced by and figured that could be a possible way to start a conversation. But for some reason, he just couldn't seem to get his nerves under control.

He had never had trouble talking to women before, but something about you was different. Maybe it was because you didn't hit on him like many others did, which he found refreshing and even a bit attractive. You were sweet and innocent. Maybe even too sweet for a man like him.

He sighs to himself, running a hand over his face in aggravation as the negative thoughts of talking himself out of it kept springing to his mind.

"Screw it," he thought, taking a deep breath and straightening his posture as he made his way towards you after psyching himself up.

Just as you caught a glimpse of him from the corner of your eye, Tech stepped in front of you, blocking Crosshair from view. "I need your assistance," Tech said, holding a pair of tools in his hands.

You suppress a small jolt of shock at his sudden presence and you even tried to hide the crestfallen look on your face.

"O-oh, really? Me? Now?" you tried not to sound flustered, but the disappointment was evident in your voice as you tried to look over Tech's shoulder.

"Is there something else you'd rather be doing than helping me get this ship running at full capacity?" Tech asked, giving you a quizzical look.

Crosshair had vanished, and your heart sank.

You had been hoping for a chance to talk to him, but now that opportunity seemed lost. You had always been so scared to approach him first in case he didn’t like your company; so when you saw him approach, a lot of things ran through your mind. Did he want to talk to you? Did you accidentally steal one of his cloths that he uses to clean his weapons with?

Did he change his mind? Did he have something else to do? You wondered as you took one of the tools from Tech and tried to mask your disappointment.

"No, sorry, I thought I saw something," you mumbled, picking up your datapad too and following Tech towards the ship.

When back on the Marauder, traveling through hyperspace, you’re sandwiched between Echo and Wrecker who were both bickering about whose turn it is to clean up.

You’re rolling your eyes shy the situation but your head almost explodes when you suddenly lock eyes on the Marksman. He is standing in the hallway, a few feet away from you with his arms crossed over his chest.

The look on his face was unreadable, although you knew that you were on his mind.

As you look back at him, you smile. Softly. Admittedly, he hated your smile because it annoyed him. Though, not in the sense where he hated it. He adored it. A lot. Often occupying his thoughts late at night and early in the morning.

Crosshair knew this would be a good chance to pull you for a chat so he psyches himself up, knowing you would probably be grateful for a respite from Echo and Wrecker's never-ending bickering.

Just as he uncrosses his arms and rolls back his shoulders, as if to relieve the tension that was building, Hunter suddenly appears in front of him. "Have you filled out your reports for today, Crosshair?" he asks.

Crosshair feels his jaw tighten as you look away, hiding your disappointment. Why does this keep happening? Is the universe conspiring to keep the two of you apart?

"Not yet," Crosshair snarls, making Hunter, the sergeant, raise his eyebrows at his attitude.

"Something bothering you, brother?"

He sighs internally, trying to hide the fact that he was bothering him but said nothing.

“No,” he mutters before storming off.

You watch him leave and as Hunter turns to face you, it heats up as he raises a brow. Did he know something you didn’t? Maker, he could probably sense how you felt about him which made you wonder if Crosshair could ever feel the same?

——————————

You stir awake as the first light of dawn creeps in, casting a soft glow over the sleeping forms of your shipmates. You sit up and rub the sleep from your eyes, only to pause when you hear the soft clanging of metal coming from the center of the ship. With everyone else still fast asleep, you are quick to notice that it was Crosshair who was awake. This had to be the perfect chance to talk to him.

Quickly, you stand and straighten out your nightwear and throw on a jacket, knowing the ship can get pretty chilly when it's running on low power. You run your fingers through your disheveled hair that often resembles a nest when you wake up, trying to smooth it down, before silently making your way towards the source of the noise.

Unsurprisingly, you find Crosshair leaning against a console, lost in thought as he blows the steam from his cup of caf. You hesitate for a moment, trying to decide how to approach him. You pondered what to say first: hello, sup, hey… but nothing seemed right. This was silly really. How could you not know how to talk to him?

Though before you can say anything, he looks up and catches your eye.

You take a deep breath and point towards the caf machine, teasing him with a husky morning voice. "You not going to make me one?"

"Sure," he says, setting down his own cup and starting to pour you one. But as he works, he can't help but feel a twinge of nervousness.

He pretty sure knew how you liked it but as you were watching him, he low-key started to panic. Was it milk first then water? The other way? Did you have sugar or honey? Neither? Either?

"Teaspoon of honey, please," you tell him with an amused smile, noticing his confusion.

"I knew that," he says gruffly, fixing up the drink for you and sliding it over to you.

You both make your way to the cockpit and sit in silence, sipping your drinks. Crosshair taps his fingers nervously against the rim of his cup, until he finally musters the courage to ask, "Is your drink nice?"

"Nah," you say with a coy smile, tilting your head to look at him.

He frowns in confusion. "Really?"

You giggle softly. "You forgot to add the caf."

Crosshair blushes with embarrassment but doesn't apologize, instead falling into silence once again. You try to fill the awkwardness with a question. "Is there something you want to talk about?"

"Not in particular," he says, not meaning to sound cruel or uninterested. He knows he's not the best at talking to people, even when it comes to someone as beautiful as you. He feels guilty as he watches you slump back in your seat with a soft sigh.

"Is there," he starts, feeling nervous, "something you want to talk about?

“Not in particular.” You reply but as you both look at each other, you both find yourselves smiling. He had such a nice smile, it was a shame he hid it most of the time.

"I couldn't help but notice that you tried to come talk to me yesterday," you said, trying to sound nonchalant, but with a hint of curiosity in your voice. You couldn't shake off the feeling that you had imagined it all.

Crosshair's grin faded a bit and he nodded. "Uh, I wanted to ask you about the book you've been reading," he said, looking a bit sheepish. You couldn't help but find it endearing that he was at a loss for words, especially since he was usually so confident. But, you’re so surprised by his statement.

You spun around in your chair to face him, your eyes wide with surprise. "Really?" you asked, intrigued.

"Yeah," he said, his eyes lighting up a bit. "It sounded interesting."

Before you knew it, you were telling him all about the book, going into great detail and using your hands to animate your words. Crosshair sat back, sipping his coffee and listening with rapt attention. He didn't say much, but he could tell that he was thoroughly enjoying hearing you talk about something you were passionate about.

After a few minutes, you suddenly stopped, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, am I rambling too much?" you asked, biting your lip.

Crosshair shook his head, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. "No, I like listening to beautiful girls talk," he said, his eyes meeting yours with a warm gaze.

You felt a blush rise to your cheeks as you realized what he had just said. "Did you just call me beautiful?" you asked, unable to hide the smile spreading across your face.

Crosshair's eyes widened, and for a moment, he looked like he was about to take it back. But then, he squared his shoulders and said, "Yes, because you are."

You’re stunned but elated at the same time. Obviously you were harboring unsaid feelings for the man, always finding him attractive despite the lack of conversation. You didn’t want to jump ahead and assume he likes you back because maybe, he was just being nice. Or teasing.

“You don’t mean it.” You say abashed, finding it hard to look at him as you play with the hem of your jacket.

He tilts his head to the side. “What makes you say that?”

“I don’t know,” you mumble. “Nobody has ever called me that and we don’t particularly speak often so…”

“So because of that you assume I don’t think you’re attractive?” He leans forward on his chair, arms resting over his knees as he tries to get you to look at him.

His words make you halt and so you just shrug awkwardly, still blushing. “Why… why are you wanting to speak to me? Really?”

He is conflicted about whether to be truthful or to play it off, but with the others asleep and no interruptions to disturb the moment, he decides to be honest.

He stands up, offering you his hand, "You're smart, I think you can figure it out." His voice is soft, and the scent of his morning caf fills the air as he brings your hand to his lips and teases them with a light graze.

“You like me?” You rasp, your breath being sucked out of your lungs

“Have done for a while, but you can probably tell I’m bad at this.” He mumbled, not feeling all too confident in his approach. He really didn’t want to mess this up.

Your heart is almost bursting out of your chest at his confession, feeling like you should pinch yourself to know it wasn’t a dream. “Crosshair… I feel the same. I too am pretty bad at this.” You laugh softly and there’s a small smile that forms on his lips, a rare and beautiful sight.

"Looks like we'll have to help each other then, huh?" He tilts his head, and you can swear that he's glancing at your lips, reminding you of all the times you've gazed at him from a distance, wanting nothing more than to kiss him.

“Oh yeah?” You whisper, definitely not wanting the others to wake up and interrupt this moment, “How would you like me to help you?”

“With a kiss.” He says bluntly but of course, only if you wanted to.

There isn’t a moment of hesitation on your part as you lean up and plant a soft kiss to his lips that were invitingly warm as was the feeling of his hands landing to your waist.

He sighs into you, embracing this soft and sweet moment with you.

His lips are soft and gently, like a summer breeze that dances on your skin, and you find yourself responding in kind, your own hands sliding up his tall, slender yet muscular chest. It's a kiss filled with pent up longing and unsaid affection, and you feel like you could stay in this moment forever.

Eventually, the kiss slowly comes to an end and you pull away, catching your breath. You both share a shy smile, not quite sure what to say, but knowing that this was just the beginning of something amazing.

The fact they didn't make him a napper makes me sad. ALSO I need every single one of those deleted scenes to be canon

Deleted Scenes that fans should see before S2: (from the mun)

TCW: multiple - most notable plot detail, in my opinion, is that the Skako mission WAS a carefully laid trap they walked right into. It gives Crosshair's cynicism some validity.

TBB 1.15: Echo leads the team through Kamino. Nice to see his leadership abilities showcased.

And finally, some non canonical but plausible and fun storyboarding.

Oh that's hot. Hunter is already hot, but that; I need that.

My friend just pointed out that Echo just left poor Hunter to be a single parent. XD

Tech – Thank You For Loving Me 32 - Pirates

Warning: Tension/Angsty

_____________

The unexpected visitors, create tension. Apart from having to fend off unwanted advances towards you, Tech also has to worry about your and Amy's safety.

_____________

"Hello my friends! Long time no see!" A Weequay followed by several others, armed to the teeth, came up to the Marauder. A dirty, red leather cloak blew around him as he sweepingly spread his arms. "Did you miss me?" "Not really," Echo grumbled dryly. The Weequay laughed, "Oh, don't be like that!" "You sure got us in trouble last time," Tech said critically. Hunter's gaze wandered over the men accompanying the Weequay and their armaments. "What do you want, Hondo?" the sergeant finally asked. Hondo turned to face him, slowly and effectively, obviously about to continue his act, but something distracted him. Tech first thought Hondo's surprised look was for him, but when he heard a soft noise behind him, he realized the pirate was looking at someone else behind Tech. Hondo's eyes widened, Tech watched for any reaction that might indicate hostile behavior. But the pirate wasn't looking angry or belligerent, but rather interested and, in a way, eager. "Well, well, well! What have we here? Such a pretty thing!" Realizing you'd been spotted, your first reaction was to back away. "Oh, no, no, don't hide, you don't hide something as sugary sweet as you," Hondo cooed. Tech got hot and cold. He looked over his shoulder and saw you. "I explicitly asked you to stay in the engine room," he murmured quietly, but clearly annoyed as well as concerned. "Well, well," said Hondo "Who's going to be so strict? Are they locking you in the engine room, dear? Who are you beautiful?" Tech resolutely steps in his way and says, "This is my wife." Hondo laughs softly, then looks past Tech to you and asks, "Your husband locks you in the engine room?" Tech answers him before you could say anything, "Of course not, she was just supposed to stay there for her safety. When we saw your shuttle, we didn't know what to expect, I didn't want her to be the focus... which is what happened now." Hondo chuckled, "Any chance you two have an open marriage?" "Absolutely not!" growled Tech. Hunter intervened as he watched Tech's fingers slowly move to his blasters. The sergeant cleared his throat and slid in between the two. "What did you come here for originally? Surely not for Tech's wife" Hondo laughed, "One thing at a time".

He looked around as if looking for something.

"Where's the grumpy one? The one with the tattoo on his eye. Your sniper?", Hondo wanted to know.

He glanced around, but no one said anything.

Hondo laughed softly and said cheerfully, "Hahaha, let me guess, he's lying in wait somewhere, probably aiming for my head right now"

"Probably," Hunter confirmed with a smirk.

"Uncle Cross?" "Hmm?" Amy set aside her sniper stick and frowned critically. "Can I look down there, too?" Crosshair sighed softly and said quietly, "This isn't really a good time" "Please?" "The timing doesn't get better just because you say 'please'" Amy sighed wistfully and rolled onto her back, looking up into the canopy of leaves that hovered above their heads. "Who's down there? Do you know those people?" "One of those men, yes," Crosshair replied, still focused on his target. "And is he dangerous?", Amy wanted to know with concern. Crosshair thought for a moment before answering, "Not necessarily." Unsatisfied with the answer, Amy rolled onto her side to look at her uncle. "What does that mean?" "Hondo Ohnaka is a pirate, he is unpredictable, but usually not outright vicious. Greedy, devious, yes, but in some ways he can be affable. It's hard to explain." "Are mom and dad in danger?" Crosshair said confidently, "No, I don't think so. It certainly doesn't look like it, but just in case, I've got everything covered" "Okay," Amy said quietly. The girl was worried and restless at the same time, Crosshair knew it was better to keep her busy, so she could get her mind off things and feel like she was doing something good. "Hey little bean, I have a task for you."

Amy sat up excitedly. "What is it?" Crosshair pointed behind him and said, "There's a small clearing, just in that direction, it's not far, about 50 yards." Amy followed his finger pointing. "What's there?" she asked curiously. "Pretty flowers. I'm sure your mom will be worried and stressed when this is all over, pick her a nice bouquet to bring back to her later. What do you think?" Amy grinned at him and jumped to her little feet. "Slow down!", Crosshair reminded her, "If you hurt yourself out here now I can't tend to your wounds, don't run, stay on the little trail and only touch the flowers you know. Hunter has taught you which plants are safe" "Okay," Amy piped up and continued to run happily. Crosshair sighed and finally called out, "You come to me every five minutes and show me your progress, okay?" Amy stopped and asked, "How do I know when five minutes are over?" "Come here again" Amy came back to Crosshair who then adjusted his comm for her, the bracelet was too wide but adjustable, he adjusted it tight enough that she couldn't lose it. "See that down there on the display?" "Yeah, that's the time, right?" "That's right, smart girl, can you read the clock yet?" "Of course I can," Amy said almost indignantly, "Uncle Echo has even shown me the star charts already" Crosshair smirked and said, "Okay, okay, Tech junior, good. What time is it now?" "12:25" "Very good. So when do you have to come to me next time?" "12:30" Crosshair nodded with satisfaction, "Very good. Go on then."

"Hey boss! We found something, looks like a playground!" Hondo asks in surprise, "A playground? Here in the middle of nowhere?" He turned to Tech, who by now had joined you and was holding your hand, which you squeezed tensely as you realized the pirates were putting one and one together. "Have you two fathered any offspring? Where is the bundle of joy? Oh wait, not with that grumpy sniper, is it? Is this the proper company for a child?" "None of your business," Tech said as calmly as he could, but you could hear the tension in his undertone. "So I'd rather we were all here together in one place," Hondo turned back to the man who had spotted the playground and said, "Take some men with you, scout the area. I want the kid and the sniper here."

Oh no Hunter is in his single dad era :(

My friend just pointed out that Echo just left poor Hunter to be a single parent. XD

The pure unadulterated rage i felt when we got that scene in Ramparts office, knowing for a fact Crosshair is probably in that building, and we don't even get a passing glance at my husband. I just want to see him PLEASE. I'm on my hands and knees at this point. Just let me see him.

I don't know which is worse, echo having an unknown fate with rex or the bad batch losing a solid 40 percent of their impulse control.

Rampart: Report to CC-1226

Crosshair: Why not Commander Cody?

Rampart: Cody?

Crosshair: Bitch you know damn well....

Today is February 1st which means it is finally the start of Concert season!!! Which also means 3 days till my first music festival of the season and 6 days until I get to see Carrie Underwood in concert! There is nothing I love more then concerts (of course with the exception of @superiorsniperand @tbbs-best-hair I definitely love them slightly more then a good concert).

@girlzrok-archive 🥰🥰🥰That is insane because I have been having the worst time sleeping since I graduated back in December, and I don't know if it is because of the state of "what next", stress, or something else. I have either not slept for days or sleep or hours on end (it's like a rotation). I will definitely see what I can do about getting magnesium tablets, I have a hard time taking medicine. 🥲

It truly is terrifying, my original comment was dark humor on the terrible sleep pattern I have fallen into.

The fact that I was asleep when @superiorsniper had his ask box open not one, but TWICE. I actually am never going to sleep again, tell me your secrets @exceptionally-minded I've heard you're good at not sleeping. I will make it's everyone's problem until I atleast get one snarky thing from Crosshair.

No this post did it for me, I will not be sleeping anytime soon. midway reading this post I realized my ring was gone. found it... but not before having a heart attack and falling off my bed.

As for the commotion, there are LOTS of the girl and the gays that absolutely love crosshair. Welcome to the fandom side of the holonet, please enjoy.

Warnings: Angst/Tension/Fluff

As you might expect, the reunion is a bit tense, for a variety of reasons. You haven't seen the boys for a long time, and Maul is not too enthusiastic about your visitors.

Together with Maul, you watched as the Batch left the Marauder over the ramp and came your way. You couldn't quite believe it yet, although you saw the guys coming your way. You could tell by their posture that they were tense, but not only that. You put out your feelers in the Force and clearly felt that the boys were ready for a fight, that there was worry, determination and a small trace of fear mixed in their energies.

"Your friends are tense," Maul said as the boys drew their weapons.

You frowned and said, "Maybe they think you're a danger to them or me?"

Maul laughed softly, a sound that slithered down your spine, hot and cold.

"My dear, I think your friends know very well who I am, that's why they are so tense".

You looked at him in surprise, but your attention turned back to the boys when you heard Hunter say your name.

They were only a few feet away, still tense. Maul, on the other hand, stood there as if he wasn't worried at all, his hands clasped behind his back. You saw Tech's gaze fall on your lightsaber, which by now you had reattached to your belt. He adjusted his goggles with a thoughtfully furrowed brow.

Finally, you heard him say to Hunter, "The situation doesn't seem hostile to me, I don't think she's here against her will."

"She's not," Maul said quietly.

Echo said somberly, "Appearances can be deceiving."

Maul rolled his eyes and said to you, "I'll leave you alone for a moment, I'm sure you have things to discuss"

As he turned and walked away, the boys looked after him indecisively, only slowly, one by one, they put their weapons away.

"It's good to see you guys," you said softly.

Wrecker pushed the others aside, came up to you, lifted you off your feet and hugged you stormily.

"We missed you, ad'ika!" he rumbled with a laugh.

You couldn't help it, you had to laugh too and returned the hug.

Echo hugged you too, albeit after a brief, shy hesitation, Tech nodded at you with a warm smile and Crosshair gave you a small smirk. Hunter just stood there uncertainly, looking at you.

He said quietly, "We were quite shocked when Tech told us he saw you leave the planet with Maul, we thought you might be his prisoner."

"I'm not, I left with him willingly," you said quietly.

Echo asked indignantly, "Just like that? Without telling us"

With a soft sigh you said, "Hunter has said very clearly that I am no longer welcome with Clone Force 99, that I am not to follow you and to stay away from you"

The boys all looked critically at Hunter, who lowered his head under his brothers' stares.

"I was pissed, rightfully so mind you" he finally said, "I said in anger what I didn't really want to"

You shrugged and said, "I'm not angry about that".

He blinked then looked at his brothers and said, "Give us a moment"

Crosshair growled teasingly, "So we're not going to spank her for leaving?"

"Shut up" Echo growled, pulling him along with him.

When the boys were finally out of earshot, Hunter looked directly at you.

"So you're not mad?"

"No. I was hurt and disappointed. But I've had a lot of time to think, and I certainly understand why you reacted the way you did, you had every right to. I had done something very stupid, reckless."

Hunter sighed softly, scuffed his foot on the dusty, sandy ground and said, "I very much regretted what I said a short time later."

You nodded slowly, you knew he could sense your rapid heartbeat, so you didn't even try to hide it or worry about it. On the contrary, you opened yourself to the Force, reaching out to Hunter and exploring his feelings. What you found only quickened your heartbeat. Hunter felt deep longing reaching out to you, joy, concern, affection. His longing was like an open, bleeding wound, hurting him and expelling energy at the same time.

You withdrew your antennae again, feeling that you had breached his privacy, and a small part of you felt ashamed of it. Looking at him, you realized how much you really missed this handsome man. You missed all about him, his smokey voice, his warmth, his scent, his smile, those dark eyes... everything.

Hunter's eyes fell on the lightsaber on your belt, then his gaze moved back up to your face, seeming surprised.

"Is that on your belt, what I think it is?"

You said with a teasing little smile, "I'm not sure what you think, but if you think it's a lightsaber, you're right."

"Where did you get it? From Maul?" he wanted to know, a slightly critical undertone in his voice.

Patiently, you explained, "No, it's mine. I built it myself."

"But Maul taught you?"

You nodded.

"You know he's a Sith?" asked Hunter, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I'm aware of that" you said sternly, "Is this another one of those times you judge me without knowing the whole story?"

Hunter lowered his arms again with a sigh and said, "I just know that Maul is dangerous, he's probably not who he says he is with you."

You shook your head, "He's never hidden who he is or what he does. I don't condone it, but I learned as much as I could from him, how I apply what I learned is up to me. That's the advantage of being an adult when you train and not being molded into something from childhood."

"Probably," Hunter said.

After a pause, he asked hesitantly, "You and Maul.... are you two... a couple?"

"No. Teacher and student, that's all," you said, and could see Hunter breathe a sigh of relief at your answer.

He nervously stepped from one leg to the other and asked, "Would you maybe want to travel with us again?"

Your heart skipped a beat; you wanted nothing more.

"Her training isn't complete yet," you heard Maul say, approaching from the background, "She's not going anywhere."

Hunter's hand slowly moved to the handle of his blaster.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Maul said calmly, "If you really know who I am, then you will realize that"

You put yourself between Hunter and Maul.

"It's my decision if and when I go" you said stubbornly.

Maul looked at you calmly.

"You really want to leave, unfinished business, without opening the holocrons?"

He knew exactly how much you wanted this, but what he didn't count on was your longing to be back with Hunter, with the only family you ever had.

"There are more important things," you said calmly.

Maul narrowed his eyes to angry slits; you could feel his anger vibrating in the Force.

"He turned his back on you, you were so desperate that you were willing to go with a stranger, far away from him, and now you just want to go back to him? Your training is not complete, nor have you received your answers that you so eagerly sought," he growled angrily.

When you didn't answer immediately, he took a deep breath as if trying to collect himself.

Much calmer, he finally said, "Well, you know where to find me."

Hunter growled, "I don't think that matters."

Maul said with a confident smirk, "Oh, I'm quite sure she'll be back. If not for your general inability, then for the unanswered questions that will eventually push their way back to the surface once the initial delightful excitement of your reunion is over."

My bold prediction is that Brendon Urie is going to leave the public eye for a year, maybe two years max and then attempt to make a comeback with his new "wife guy" persona.

My second prediction is that this will blow up in his face within six months
