[for-the-sake-of-color]

Bring Your Child to Work Day is not typically a tradition observed on a Warship, but Nihlus wouldn't pass up a chance to spend time with his son

Once Alec asks if they should "Make Big Boom?" as they plan their infiltration though, Captain Jet knows his nephew has been spending far too much time with their squad Nihlus though? Just replies "Well, he has a point!"

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Cadet OCs

For My Fic Tate Akaan'ad'ike

SUMMARY: Tate Akaan'ad'ike - (Mando'a) Clone Army Cadets(Tah-tay Ah-kahn-ahd-eek-ay) From the combination of the words: Tate (tah-tay), meaning "twins" or "clones," Akaan'ade (ah-kahn-ah-dey), meaning "army," and Ad'ike (ahd-eek-ay), meaning "children" (<^>) After experiencing heavy losses on Geonosis and realizing that they will need New Leaders for the Next Generation of Clone Troopers, the Kaminoans reluctantly agree to begin the Adjutant Program for the Command Track. Select Cadets are to be paired with Commanders in the field, much like Padawans accompany their Jedi Masters, and any Commanders willing to accept such a mentorship role are applicable. Initially against the idea of endangering one of his vod'ike in such a way, Captain Rex is adamant he won't participate in this experiment, much in the same way his General, Skywalker, is adamant that he will never take a Padawan. But when he encounters a young Cadet facing Decommissioning after a training accident has wiped out all of his squad but himself, there really isn't any other option...

MIRSHKO

CT Number: CT-8374-60

Age: 6 (12) - 8 (16)

Commanding Officer: Captain Rex

Jedi General: Anakin Skywalker

Jedi Commander: Ahsoka Tano

Unit: 501st Attack Battalion, Torrent Company (332nd Company)

Unit Color: Navy

Specialization: Pilot (Formerly), Tactician

Preferred Weapons: A Bes'bev (Mandalorian Flute, heavy metal such as durasteel or beskar, with a sharpened end) for melee combat - something he takes after from Rex - and a single blaster pistol. He prefers to shoot right-handed while holding his Bes'bev in a defensive offhand position in his left, as all Clones were trained to be ambidextrous

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in navy stripes and the pattern of a fighter squadron across the chest, and the helmet has a splattering of blue freckles over the bridge of the t-slit with Jaig Eyes gifted to him by Rex and includes a rangefinder at his personal request.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Mirshko is an exception to this in that he also has numerous freckles over the bridge of his nose, and his left eye is blue in color for heterochromia. He wears his hair in a soft wave midway over his ears with a white and navy stripe in his bangs, the length growing longer over the course of the war and being tied back in a messy ponytail, and he has a scar of a cut from shrapnel bisecting his left eyebrow and eye (the damage it made causing that eye's heterochromia).

Personality Traits: Mirshko is quietly stubborn and suffers from anxiety due to his accident, sometimes resulting in select mutism and a crippling fear of transport shuttles or starfighters in general. He has a mind for tactics, and greatly enjoys spending time with his Ori'vode in Torrent Company. When he isn't sticking to Rex like a shadow, he is usually with Fives and Echo learning how to get into trouble as all Vod'ike must (this later expands to include Hardcase and Tup).

Trivia: Mirshko was originally known as Kiss prior to being moved from the Pilot Program into the Command Track after his Squad was killed; Mirshko is a Mando'a word meaning "Courage."

TGIASE

CT Number: CC-3746-05

Age: 7 (14) - 9 (18)

Commanding Officer: Commander Cody

Jedi General: Obi-Wan Kenobi

Jedi Commander: Cal Kestis

Unit: 212th Attack Battalion (Ghost Company)

Unit Color: Gold

Specialization: Linguistics

Preferred Weapons: Standard blaster rifle with a ranged aerial attachment added on to it (Battalion-Typical)

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in large sections of gold paint and narrow jutting lines, while the helmet (including a sun visor as many 212th helmets do) is inverted with main color being gold and white lines crossing over it. Additionally, his armor sports a jetpack as all 212th members do because of their Jedi.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Tgiase follows this easily with somewhat neat waves of a slightly longer length. He was given an illegal (non-age appropriate) tattoo of a wing curling around his left eye by General Kenobi; Cody was not thrilled about this.

Personality Traits: Tgiase is expressive and high-energy, though he behaves well in front of authority figures. He is inquisitive and studious, and has an attention to detail that Cody particularly finds helpful in his duties. He is endeared to his Ori'vode; Waxer is especially taken with him.

Trivia: Fondly known as "Tyg" to his friends; Tgiase is a Mando'a word meaning "Curious."

JACKAL

CT Number: CC-3587-33

Age: 8 (16) - 10 (20)

Commanding Officer: Commander Wolffe

Jedi General: Plo Koon

Jedi Commander: None

Unit: 104th Attack Battalion (Wolfpack Battalion)

Unit Color: Grey

Specialization: Sniper

Preferred Weapons: Sniper rifle and vibro-knives

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in sharp, accentuated grey paint mimicking the Wolfpack's unique art style, and he wears a Kama when switching over to Phase 2.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Jackal has a standard haircut and a stylized tattoo on his brow line and framing his eyes.

Personality Traits: Contrary to Wolffe's gruff demeanor, Jackal is light-spirited and has an impish sense of humor. He and Master Koon get on well as a result of this, much to Wolffe's chagrin, but Jackal is a very competent soldier and has all the makings of becoming a very promising Commander.

Trivia: Jackal is predominantly left-handed after breaking his right arm in training at the age of four. While he is, like his right-handed brothers, ambidextrous, he often does things such as writing or shooting with his left hand. Colloquially known as "Jack" to his friends.

SOLA

CT Number: CC-3754-63

Age: 7 (14) - 9 (18)

Commanding Officer: Commander Bly

Jedi General: Aayla Secura

Jedi Commander: None

Unit: 327th Attack Battalion

Unit Color: Yellow

Specialization: Medic

Preferred Weapons: Blaster pistols

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in sunny yellow curling vines and sun rays, and his helmet has a sun bonnet on it.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Sola has his waving at barely regulation length around him in a dyed golden mane, committing fully to the "ray of sunshine" aesthetic. His eyes are also a naturally more golden shade of brown.

Personality Traits: Sola was named for his sunny disposition and bright, optimistic attitude. Nothing ever keeps him down for long, and he has great empathy leading towards having all the hallmarks of a promising career as a medic.

Trivia: Everyone swears that when Sola smiles, his eyes sparkle. Sola and Lumen are Batchers.

LUMEN

CT Number: CC-3574-29

Age: 8 (16) - 10 (20)

Commanding Officer: Commander Grey and Captain Styles

Jedi General: Depa Billaba

Jedi Commander: Caleb Dume

Unit: 97th Attack Battalion

Unit Color: Light Green

Specialization: Demolitions

Preferred Weapons: Blaster pistol and vibroblade

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate, and he utilizes variations of thick and thin linework. 

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. His hair is dyed a snowy metallic silver, very curly and somewhat fluffy.

Personality Traits: Lumen takes his job very seriously and holds passionate distaste for the goings-on of the Senate. He half jokingly says that Palpatine has to be a Sith (though never in the man's presence), and usually bonds with Fox over drowning in paperwork. He is a hard worker with an amiable disposition overall.

Trivia: Lumen got his name from accidentally bleaching his hair white as a cadet when a prank he'd rigged for one of his batchmates backfired. Upon joining the Coruscant Guard, he fully embraced the moniker and willingly dyes his hair to keep the joke alive and well. Lumen and Sola are Batchers.

JAY

CT Number: CC-3795-32

Age: 7 (14) - 9 (18)

Commanding Officer: Captain Keeli (Briefly); Captain Howzer

Jedi General: Ima-Gun Di (Briefly); None On-Planet

Jedi Commander: Nari

Unit: 91st Reconnaissance Corps (Partial Forces Stationed with the Twi'lek Freedom Fighters)

Unit Color: Brown (Briefly); Teal

Specialization: Scouting

Preferred Weapons: Sniper rifle and offhand pistol

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in a camouflage base with minimal colored paint to better help him blend with his environment, though he does edge the plates and t-slit of his helmet with company colors. This color was initially brown in accordance with their Battalion before earning a separate color for their unique assignment, being teal.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Jay has his close-shaved with a single stripe braided into a cornrow curving around from the nape of his neck to curl over the top of his left ear, undyed.

Personality Traits: Jay is an independent spirit and prefers solitude to companionship, but he is fiercely loyal of his brothers and the Twi'leks he serves with on Ryloth. He and Hera Syndulla became friends during his stay on-planet. He can be blunt and standoffish, as he is not comfortable making polite conversation.

Trivia: Jay was initially assigned to Captain Keeli, and was coordinating the run on the Separatist Blockade in orbit when Master Ima-Gun Di and Keeli were killed defending the resistance. Di's Padawan, Nari, was also in orbit. After the planet was liberated, the pair returned to Ryloth with the newly-appointed Captain Howzer to coordinate supply runs in the region and to keep a careful eye on Separatist activity, as Ryloth is in a hotspot for invasion.

DUO

CT Number: CC-3786-98

Age: 7 (14) - 9 (18)

Commanding Officer: Commander Fox and Commander Thorn

Jedi General: None; Military Police

Jedi Commander: None

Unit: Coruscant Guard

Unit Color: Red

Specialization: Tech/Slicing

Preferred Weapons: Standard blaster rifle and a riot baton for melee work

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in rich red paint with the Coruscant Guard logo emblazoned on the chest. The plates are bedecked in interlocking circles for his design.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Duo has a rare lack of melanin in his irises, making them grey-blue, and he wears his hair in a tight curly bun.

Personality Traits: Duo presents a no-nonsense persona professionally and can come off as quite prickly, though to those he bonds with they find him to have a rather wickedly sarcastic sense of humor. He greatly enjoys hacking into security systems for fun in his downtime.

Trivia: Duo once hacked the Senate building during a fit of boredom and kept displaying ads for fried nuna legs on all of the screens inside for a full day.

SPARKZZ

CT Number: CT-8321-44

Age: 6 (12) - 8 (16)

Commanding Officer: Commander Herc

Jedi General: Bant Eerin

Jedi Commander: Mororo Ketaan

Unit: 18th Attack Battalion

Unit Color: Purple

Specialization: Medic

Preferred Weapons: Standard blaster rifle

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in the vibrant purple of his Battalion in loops and swirls, very artsy. There are splashes of it dried on his helmet he decided he liked and never bothered cleaning up.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Sparkzz has his tied back in a braid constantly coming loose because he can't be bothered to weave it tightly enough, and there is a scar over the left side of his nose from slamming his face into a window on accident one time.

Personality Traits: Sparkzz is hyperactive in a way most of his brothers are not, and while he has a very natural ability to heal he struggles with book learning due to being mildly dyslexic. He is very good with his hands and enjoys, honest, tactile work that keeps him occupied, and in general he is light-spirited and happy. He makes friends easily, and is very close with Padawan Ketaan.

Trivia: Sparkzz is a month older than Mirshko, making him second-youngest of the group; he was originally on the Medic Track before being placed into the Command Track at Master Shaak Ti's request, knowing he would do well under Bant Eerin's MedCorps Command.

TYVEK

CT Number: CC-3146-08

Age: 9 (18) - 11 (22)

Commanding Officer: Commander Ponds

Jedi General: Mace Windu

Jedi Commander: None

Unit: 187th Attack Battalion

Unit Color: Maroon

Specialization: Tactics/Logistics

Preferred Weapons: Dual wield blaster pistols

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in simple, thick lines and sections and his helmet is modestly adorned with color around his macrobinocular add-on.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Tyvek keeps his shaved close to his scalp and as a result it can be a little bit bristly along his bang line, as he rarely has time to shave it as often as he would like.

Personality Traits: Tyvek bears all the hallmarks of a proficient and steady Commander, though at times it is noted that he seems to put far too much stress on himself after being forced into an active Commanding role at barely 9 due to Ponds' career-ending injury. He is quiet, reserved, and empathetic, but stubborn and stoic, feeling he is alone because he cannot appear weak in front of his older men under his command.

Trivia: Tyvek became the Commander of the 91st after Ponds' career-ending injury at the hands of Boba Fett during the first year of the Clone Wars, having earned the respect of his General and his men for his quiet and dedicated service as Ponds' Adjutant. He is also the oldest of the Command Cadets and shifts into the regular army shortly after his appointment.

FETCH

CT Number: CC-3799-02

Age: 7 (14) - 9 (18)

Commanding Officer: Commander Gree

Jedi General: Luminara Unduli

Jedi Commander: Barriss Offee

Unit: 41st Elite Corps

Unit Color: Dark Green

Specialization: Encryption/Codebreaking

Preferred Weapons: Vibroknives and blaster pistols

Armor: Standard Cadet Field Armor at age appropriate levels as well as the age appropriate fatigues. Like all Field Cadets, he wears a special Training logo on his right shoulder plate. The plates are bedecked in dark green lineart that compliment his tattoos.

Physical Characteristics: Most Clones have more tanned skin and brown eyes with black, curly or wavy hair. Fetch is one of the rare clones to have natural platinum blond hair, and he usually dyes it a dark reddish-brown to hide that fact. It is more wavy than typical and tends to cling to his forehead, particularly his bangs, which do not like to lie flat. Barriss gave him his own Mirialan tattoos after he became interested in meditating with her to calm his anxiety, and they cover much of his body.

Personality Traits: Fetch is prone to anxiety and high stress, and finds the presence of his Jedi soothing due to their calm demeanors - particularly Commander Offee, who he became close friends with after she taught him some extremely helpful meditation techniques. He is very competent at his job, preferring to do close work rather than distance fighting, and he speaks in very soft, quiet tones.

Trivia: Fetch enjoys working with numbers in particular because they are exact, and there is very little room for unpredictability.

BONUS IMAGE:

Rex With Slightly Longer Hair

Rex chooses to grow his hair out just a tiny bit in this AU, as Mirshko is self-conscious of his left eye, and Rex wants to support his vod'ika being a little bit different, so he chooses to show his natural platinum blond active recessive hair color - considered a rarity for clones but not an impossible trait to express. It is still very, very short however, as he doesn't like having a standard hair length when wearing his helmet and finds it uncomfortable.

[adhd-coyote]

I drew the tubie if anyone wants to see. The markings around his eyes look kinda like wings :)

Shiver was terrified.

There was a sleeping tubie in his arms, a too-small cadet clinging to his pants, and a pair of teenagers wracked with growing pains scurrying behind him. He was praying to the little gods his ori’vode had told him about that the tubie would stay asleep, because if any of them made too much noise, it was going to be over. Shiver could not let that happen.

He’d memorized schedules, camera positions, and multiple routes to their destination, and stuffed bags full of supplies in preparation. Honestly, for how hurried this plan had been, it was a good one, or at least he hoped it was. It had to be.

Step one: Pack everything he could carry into a bag stolen from one of the trainers.

Step two: Figure out and memorize a route, make sure to have back ups.

Step three: Go oldest to youngest- grab Cabu and Mirda, then Circuit, then CT-7814.

Step four: Get the hell off of Kamino.

And somehow do all of that without getting caught.

He’d managed the first three steps. Step four would likely be the most difficult. Shiver wasn’t even going to think about what they were gonna do once they were actually off planet. Right now, his only goal was to get them to the hangar, grab a ship, and leave. He could worry about after that later.

He’d already picked out a ship and slipped a carefully-measured sedative to its owner. Combined with Trainer Stilgor’s drinking habits, they’d have at least six hours before he woke up, and even longer before he realized his ship was gone. Plenty of time for Shiver and his hangers-on to steal it and be well on their way, so long as they reached the hangar without issue. Everything had gone smoothly so far, but Shiver wasn’t optimistic enough to think things would keep going that way.

He hated that halfway there, he was proven right.

Labored breathing drew his attention to Circuit, whose steps were getting more unsteady as he struggled to keep up. Circuit had always been weaker than the others - the result of some sort of genetic defect - and that day’s training had been hard on him. Shiver wished he could have given Circuit more time to rest, but they needed to leave as soon as possible.

Without speaking a word, Shiver handed the tubie over to Cabu, made sure the cadet was holding him right, and then pulled Circuit up into his arms. Circuit wrapped around him, legs around his waist and arms around his neck, and held tight. They kept going.

Miraculously, there weren’t any more issues. They made it to the hangar, which was blessedly empty, and Shiver used the stolen remote to unlock the ship and lower the ramp so they could hurry onboard. Shiver set Circuit down in one of the back seats of the cockpit, while Cabu handed the tubie off to Mirda and took the copilot’s seat to help prep for takeoff.

Shiver let instinct take over, grateful that medics received flight training and that their chosen ship was one he could fly. They were ready in no time, and after making sure all of the cadets were buckled and Mirda was holding 14 tight, Shiver grabbed hold of the yoke, took a deep breath, and took off.

Hush little brother, don’t cry out. Brother’s gonna keep you safe and sound.

[lizbiz99]

Y’all look at this amazing art by @chiliger ! It’s an amazing commission! We got ourselves Naria Pamari talking with Captain Bolt (Clone OC) while three little clone cadets are following them. Bolt is super serious even with one hanging from his arm and another sitting on his shoulders 🥰 Check out @chiliger for commissions!

[stars-n-spice]

Welcome back to my attempts to post something Silly Squad (Bad Batch x Baddies Batch) related - be it headcanons, one shots/fics, or art - every Saturday! Just cuz Silly Squad Saturday has a nice ring to it.

This week we have: Mothers!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and today is Día de Las Madres (you best believe my mom milks this weekend), so I figured to do some doodles of the moms with their kiddos for the Secgen Silly Squad AU! Plus Echo with his kiddos 😌

And as a bonus, I included the biggest Mama's Boy ever with his Moms!

Close ups and more under the text!

Viram with her boys!

Sometime down the line, Echo and Viram decide to adopt Deke and he is an absolute Mama's boy. Their other two boys are Tikan and Zisanu, and they are a handful and a half. Tikan's a little rascal who is always up to protect his little brother, should he get into any trouble (and he tends to). It's a little difficult to juggle a rebellion and three boys, but, of course, she and Echo wouldn't have it any other way!

Find out more about Viram and her kiddos here!

Khea with her ad'ika's!

What happens when you put a clone and a Mandalorian together as parents? You end up with a lot of kids! The first of their kiddos was Itri, a Foundling Khea took under her wing. Later on, they adopted Stak and then came their own kiddos. First were the twins, Maia and Marama, a dynamic duo with pranks up their sleeves and adventures to tackle. Then, of course, is the baby of the family, Elio. A more soft-spoken individual compared to his family who reminds Khea a lot of her late younger brother. While they can all be a lot, Khea is constantly grateful of how they've helped encourage her to continue to grow as a person.

Find out more about Khea and her kiddos here!

Phee with her kiddos!

There's no shortage of adventures in the Genoa household. Whether it's exploring planets, discovering and recovering ancient relics, or just watching old footage of Tech's riot racing before bed–there's always something fun to be done. Their oldest, Vela, has inherited her parents' skills and talents in piloting and has an interest in cartography. On the other hand, her younger brother, Rangi, inherited his mother's love of adventure and loves to record all the adventures they go on in his datapad–hoping to one day write a book of sorts.

Find out more about Phee and her kiddos here!

Tay'kaa with his moms!

First up we have a younger kid Tay during his time in the gladiatorial arena with his mentor/surrogate mom, Ko D'Ruq. Aka the "Daemon Devaronian" and the reigning champ in The Cauldron. She was the one who took him under her wing and trained him so that he'd have a chance of survival in that hell pit they were stuck in. Unfortunately, she would not last and it wouldn't be until later down the line that Tay would get connected with Na'yeli Marr, a Kessurian whom Ko loved dearly and Tay promised to look after once he was free.

@here-comes-the-moose and I are always joking about how at that point in Tay's life he's nearing 30 and is still living with his mom. There is absolutely no shame in that, but there's something incredibly amusing about a former gladiator turned mercenary who once worked for a crime syndicate and now the Empire not being able to stay out late because his mom wants him home to help with dinner. No way he's going to say "no" though, the man is an absolute mama's boy.

Echo with the babies of the batch!

Then of course, last but not least, we've got Echo with his ducklings Omega and Crosshair. What a trio! No wonder they had to be separated for most of The Bad Batch, if they hadn't then everything would've been resolved in like a season. Still can't believe we got a "What? No hug for me?" from Crosshair to Echo.

Echo and the Cadet Batch Chapter 9: Meeting the Vode (Part Three)

Art by @shyranno

Summary of Chapter 9: Cody, Boil, Waxer, and the others are brought into the secret and things with the baby Batch get more chaotic as it becomes harder to keep them quiet. It turns out that not many haven’t already found out about the baby commandos on board.

Sneak Peek:

For an instant, Rex fought the urge to scold Cody for his language in front of the littles. Then everything started happening too quickly for him to give it another thought.

“Cody!?” 

The four little voices rang out simultaneously, their tones an ecstatic melody of disbelief and excitement. The patter of small feet thundered across the floor as each cadet tried to beat his brothers to the stunned commander.

Wrecker, having the longest legs at this age, was unsurprisingly the winner. “Cody!” he shouted again, his unrestrained joy making Hardcase and Jesse both grin in the background.

Cody remained frozen just inside the threshold, his jaw hanging open and his hands a little in front of him, spread out in shock. For a moment, Rex wondered if he really had broken his ori’vod.

Then Wrecker skidded to a stop in front of the commander, wrapped his arms around his armored thighs, and picked him up clear off the floor in a tight hug. “You’re here!” he yelped.

Cody jerked back to life, eyes widening in alarm as his combat boots left the tile. “Wrecker–!” his warning cry was cut off as he tipped forward.

Wrecker may have been able to crush his favorite reg into an off-the-ground hug on Kamino, but Commander Cody was no longer the cadet the young 99s knew. In the present, he was nearly two hundred pounds of muscle and grit, not to mention that except for his helmet, he was still wearing all ninety pounds of kit. And all of that weight was too much for the much shorter Wrecker to handle. Rex caught a glimpse of the big cadet’s surprised eyes and the way his lips parted in a shocked o right before he and Cody went crashing to the ground.

“Wrecker!” Rex was in motion before the word left his mouth, already leaping to pull the commander off the smaller cadet. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about Cody at the moment… he just cared about Wrecker more. 

He was man enough to admit that part of it was self-preservation. He didn’t want to be the one to face an angry Echo if one of his vod’ikas got hurt.

It was a needless concern, a fact he realized as soon as he heard the giggles coming from beneath a still-surprised Cody, who was scrambling to get up. 

“You got heavy !” Wrecker laughed. As Cody fell backward onto his rear end, the cadet rolled over and giggled again, eyes sparkling merrily. His gaze grew awed when he focused on Cody’s face. “Hey, you got a scar, too!”

Cody reflexively reached up to touch the scar that carved a c around his eye, his gaze never leaving the cadet. “Wrecker,” he said plainly. “Rex, that’s Wrecker .”

Rex was trying to hold back his own amusement now. It wasn’t often he got to see Cody this thrown out of sorts. The poor commander was completely buffaloed by what he was seeing, sprawled on the floor with a pitiable expression of confusion etched onto his face “Yeah, I know. It was kinda hard to miss.”
