"A Change in Price"
1. âDo not go far from me.â/âI wonât.â
Pairing: Wrecker x fem reader
***
It was just another mission to get more intel for Cid, but somehow, you and the Bad Batch always managed to deal with the shadiest of people. Cid certainly kept questionable company, but that wasn't surprising.
You, Wrecker and Hunter were walking into a seedy bar on another planet to meet with a client while Tech, Echo and Omega were stationed outside in case things went south. You didn't like the unsavory way a lot of the men in the bar were staring at you...and neither did Wrecker.
Seeing how uncomfortable you looked, his arm came protectively around your shoulders and he pulled you closer to him. "I've got you, don't worry," he reassured you. .
You inched a little closer to him and pleaded quietly, "Do not go far from me."
With a comforting squeeze, he promised you, "I won't."
Normally, you did okay on missions on your own, but something about this place gave you a really bad feeling.
Finally, you guys found the client: a Zabrak male who was sitting at a booth cleaning his blaster.
"We're here for Cid's intel," Hunter said straightforwardly to the Zabrak. Then he signaled with his head to Wrecker to give the client the money he was owed.
Wrecker lifted the case he had in his other hand, removed his arm from your shoulders and opened it up, revealing the vast amount of credits inside. Then he set the case on the table and slid it towards the client.
The Zabrak eyed the case for a moment before taking a data disc. However, instead of handing it to Hunter, he held it back and stated, "Actually...there's been a change in the price for this information."
"What?" Hunter asked, taken aback.
The man leaned forward, a malicious grin on his face...as he turned his sights on you. "I want the money...and the girl."
Wrecker's arm immediately shot out and moved you behind him as he glared threateningly at the client.
"She's not part of the deal," said Hunter, his own tone growing darker.
"That's my price," said the Zabrak. "No girl, then no intel. Take it or leave it."
Hunter tried working a way around this deal in his head. They needed this intel for Cid or else she wouldn't give them the money they needed for more supplies, which they were dangerously low on, but there was no way he was giving you to this man. He would never do that in a million years. But what could they do? If they started a fight, then the whole bar would get involved and he wanted to be as discreet about this as possible. They could pretend to give you away, but that could potentially break your trust in them and he wouldn't do that to you either. Maybe they could--
"You can take your deal and shove it where the sun don't shine."
Both you and Hunter heard Wrecker's declaration and, to both your shock and Hunter's, Wrecker had taken one step forward and thrown a hard punch in the Zabrak's face before the guy could even react. The client slumped over on the table, unconscious.
You quickly jumped forward and pulled the data disc out of the Zabrak's hand while Hunter just looked to Wrecker, his disbelief apparent even with his helmet on.
"What? He deserved it," Wrecker justified. "No one threatens our girl like that."
Hunter just shook his head and, since the guy was out cold, decided he didn't really need the money, so the Sergeant picked the case back up and told you and Wrecker that it was time to go.
Before you went after Hunter, you took Wrecker's hand and told him, "Thank you for that, Wrecker."
He smiled. "How was I supposed to keep my promise to not go far from you if you get taken away?" he asked. Then he leaned down and kissed your forehead. "No one's ever gonna take you away from me. I've always got you."
In that moment, you'd never felt safer or more loved.
Author's note: This one goes out to the Wrecker girlies!!! And anyone else who could use some Wrecker content.
You clutched the folded-up cloth tighter in your hand, waiting at the bottom of the steps for a certain Bad Batcher to come walking by after dinner. As you waited, you were granted the soothing pleasure of watching the sky turn all sorts of vibrant shades as the sun began to dip below the horizon. The air was still warm: the evening chill hadnât begun to set yet. You leaned over the stone wall to peer down at how the ocean shone with reflections of the sky.
With the return of Crosshair, and the whole squad safe and sound- not to mention happy- Pabu was starting to feel like home to you. The peaceful days that passed were precious to you. You treasured each moment you spent with the squad, and it shed a new light on a particular someone.
Afternoons were spent sitting side-by-side on the docks with him, fishing in the sun. You both helped out with different projects around the community, and when you did take breaks, you took them together. Sometimes the two of you would dig into a picnic basket that youâd packed for lunch, or take a dip in the crystal waters, or just sit in the sand talking and joking around.
You found yourself hardly anywhere but at his side, and him at yours. It felt like the most natural thing in the world. Wrecker always had a warmth about him that you liked. You always thought he was handsome, and you couldnât deny that you felt your face heat up and heart pound anytime he was near⌠But there was hardly time to explore that. The squad had been on the run for so long, and you were always worried about the dynamic that these feelings would bring to the team.
This time on Pabu gave you the chance to simply be with him. To exist together. To find out more about not only him, but yourself. It was all new to you. Life was simple there, happy, and for a short while you could forget about the insanity that had taken over the rest of the Galaxy. You could forget about the danger that the squad was truly in.
The familiar gaits of your squad were coming down the steps. You turned around, keeping the folded item behind your back. Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker and Omega were making their descent, all with smiles on their faces after a filling dinner. Hunter paused in front of you first, giving you a curious look.
âYou good?â he asked. To be fair, you had left dinner early. Youâd mustered up the courage to grab the gift from your quarters and wait for the opportunity to give it to its intended recipient.
âYeah, thank you.â
Crosshair chewed on a toothpick, passing by you with a simple nod in your direction. It was brief but sincere. Omega was at his heels with Wrecker beside her, and the two of them beamed when they saw you.
âHey, ______,â she greeted.
âHey! Missed you at dinner!â Wrecker said. He gave you a nudge. âEverything okay?â
âYeahâŚActually, could I have a moment with you?â
âYou can have as many as youâd like!â he chuckled. Omega already knew about the gift, since youâd given her one not too long ago. She gave you a knowing look, waving at you both kindly, as she continued on her way to catch up with Hunter and Crosshair.
âWhatâs up?â Wrecker askedÂ
You hesitated, suddenly feeling shy as you had his full attention. âI got you something. I donât know, it might be a little sillyâŚbut, here.â You held out the item, embarrassment and excitement wrestling inside you. Wrecker unfolded and held it up to get a better look.
âAww, itâs Lula!â he exclaimed, turning the shirt around. âHow-? Whereâd you get this?â
âThereâs a shop on the lower levels that prints designs on T-shirts,â you explained happily. âOmega and I drew one up for you. She had one made that was similar.â
Wrecker grinned at you. âItâs the best shirt ever!â He moved forward to wrap his arms around you, giving you a tight squeeze that made you laugh. âThank you!â You wrapped your arms around his neck and hugged him back, so relieved that he liked the present. It felt like he might never let you go, but then the embrace did come to an end. You felt his cheek brush against yours briefly as he carefully put you back down. âSo, uh, whatâs the occasion?â
He looked a little nervous, like perhaps he had forgotten an important day.
âItâs just because,â you said. âI appreciate your friendship. Youâre so fun, and thoughtful, and I really like our talks.â
His eyes softened as he listened to your words, regarding you with a tenderness that you saw in him often. Wrecker gave a quiet chuckle. âI like spending time with you too,â he said. It appeared as if he wanted to say more, but no words came. He simply gazed back at you in this way, and you found yourself unsure of what to say next.
âUh, anywayâŚâ You ran a hand over the stone railing beside you idly. âI have some errands to run before dark. Iâll see you around.â
âNeed any help?â
You shook your head, smiling in appreciation of his offer. âItâs alright, nothing major. Thank you though, Wreck.â
âSure, sure.â He rubbed the back of his neck and watched you take the next stairway towards the market. Â
Wrecker looked back down at the shirt after you left, running his thumbs over the soft material. He couldnât wait to wear it the next time the two of you hung out. He headed back to where his squad had gone, finding just Hunter and Crosshair seated in a common area with a bonfire going. Omega appeared to have already gone to bed for the night.
Crosshair was the first to notice what was in Wreckerâs hand. âWhatâs that? A gift?â There was no mistaking the subtle teasing in his tone.
âUh, yeah.â Wrecker took a seat. âShe got one for Omega too.â
âThat doesnât negate the fact,â Hunter said with the hint of a smile.
Wrecker looked at him. âWhat fact?â
âThe fact that the girl is crazy for you,â Crosshair replied with the roll of his eyes, irritated that his brother was obviously feigning obliviousness. He wasnât about to let his sibling off that easily. âAnd you are for her. So, whatâs the hold up?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about,â Wrecker grumbled, folding his arms in a stubborn sort of gesture. âThereâs no hold up.â
Hunter and Crosshair exchanged looks, both raising a brow, but said no more on the matter. Wrecker leaned back to watch the bonfire while these things went through his mind.
Of course he felt that way about you. Of course heâd wanted to bring it up for ages, but it never seemed to be quite the right time, so he just carried on as usual.Â
How sweet! Love the beach vibes, and Mayday is a darling â¤
This makes me want to collect seashells!
The Medics assistant
Mayday x fem reader
Warnings: none other than a reference of reader having anxiety.
The afternoon skies were cloudy on Pabu, yet everyone was in good spirits.
You were tending to your favorite patient, an elderly Nautolan woman named Meena.
As you made small talk with her you noticed an item you needed on the top shelf.
Howâd that get there?
Then you remembered your unofficial assistant, Mayday.
Mayday helped you take care of a few of your patients, he was a quick learner, and you were grateful for the help.
When you tried to reach for the item and couldnât quite reach it, Mayday suddenly appeared beside you.
âIâve got itâ Mayday said. You smiled brightly âThanks, Loveâ You said and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Mayday gave you an adoring smile and kissed your forehead.
Mayday spoke with Meena for a moment. You watched him with heart eyes.
He left to meet up with Crosshair at the beach.
Meena gave you a bright grin and said, âThatâs a real handsome fella youâve got.â
âI know, Heâs the best thing thatâs happened to me.â You agreed.
Only a few people knew of your battle with anxiety, but those who did were pleased to see the change after Mayday came along.
You left the clinic after helping Meena and you went looking for Mayday.
You found him by the shoreline sitting and talking with Crosshair.
Those two were close, Crosshair was a quiet man who didnât open up to many people, but he always made time to talk to Mayday. Early on in your relationship Mayday had told you of what he and Crosshair had been through on Barton four, and how theyâd barely survived. You were grateful everyday that they did.
You walked up behind Mayday and wrapped your arms around his shoulders. âHi, boysâ You greeted. âHey, beautiful girlâ Mayday grinned back at you. âHiâ Crosshair greeted you. âHow are you today, Crosshair?â You asked him. âFineâ He replied, then added âI donât need to ask how you are, you two are disgustingly happyâ You laughed at Crosshairâs teasing, all too happy to be accepted by him.
Before the sun began to set you left Mayday and Crosshair to look for seashells. Mayday watched you as you sorted through the sand, trying to find just the right seashells for the necklace you were making. He always admired your creative eye. He placed his hand on the necklace youâd given him. It was before you began dating that you gifted him the necklace, heâd been so touched by it that he wanted to cry, that was one of the first moments Mayday knew that his feelings for you went beyond that of friendship.
Collecting seashells was an enjoyable way for you to relax after work. There was something about the sound of the waves rolling in, and the gentle breeze softly blowing through your hair. Mayday joined you. Several tiny teal shells were part of your current collection but something was missing you just didnât know what, at least until Mayday walked up beside you with an excited smile and he showed you some beautiful magenta colored seashells he found. âOh, Mayday. These are perfect!â You cheered. âI canât wait to see what you make with theseâ Mayday said. âWell, youâll be the first to see, as alwaysâ You smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips.
Rampart:
Are you going to tell me to stay away from your girl?
Crosshair:
If I had to do that, she wouldn't be my girl.
Rampart:
Well, then I guess you've got nothing to worry about, do you, Crosshair?
Crosshair:
It must burn you up that a clone like me saved you from prison, huh? Gotta' be careful. I might not be there next time. Oh, and Rampart - stay away from my girl.
This is so sweet đđ⤠I can just feel Echo's devotion. He's head over heels big time!
Also DOMINO. I literally gasped aloud đđđđ. And the mention of Fives, ohh. This got me in the feels, well done!!!
Echo and the Tooka
This is for @rinwritesfics for the Bad Batch x reader exchange @cloneficgiftexchange
Prompt: "How was I supposed to know"
Authors note: Hi! I hope you like this! I've always wanted to write for Echo and give him a Tooka so I hope you like that idea too :)
Clone Force ninety-nine was happily settled on Pabu. Crosshair was back with them, as well as Echo, and the rest of the Clone Rebellion. You loved Pabu, it was a beautiful, peaceful place and most importantly the Clones were safe. One Clone especially meant a great deal to you, Echo.
You had been crushing on him for ages, and although you believed he returned your feelings, neither of you had been brave enough to admit your feelings. When Echoâs head piece had been acting up you were worried for him. But Phee had a contact on the planet Chalza, that could help Echo. Echo figured it was worth a shot since the Empire didnât have a presence there. Rex and Tech offered to go with Echo, and you asked to go too. Echo was happy you would be going with him.
Upon arriving on Chalza you found out it was raining. You put your poncho on. âCuteâ Echo accidently said out loud. âThanksâ You giggled and did a little twirl. Echo gave you heart eyes. âShouldnât you wear one too?â You asked concerned. Echo thought he would melt from how sweet you were. He put his poncho on and you thought he looked cute too, but were too shy to say anything.
The rain was pouring, and the wind blew hard. You struggled to see anything. Echo noticed you stray a little, and he held out his hand for you. âHere, take my hand. Iâll guide youâ He offered. You took his hand, a warm feeling spreading through you at the contact. Echo kept you close to him. You felt safe with him by your side.
After reaching the contacts workshop Echo still held your hand. Rex and Tech spoke with the contact. As they discussed what needed to be done, you felt Echo squeeze your hand a little harder. Heâs nervous You leaned in and whispered, âIâm right here, Echoâ He looked over at you with a soft smile âThanksâ Echo whispered back. You nodded to him.
It seemed to take forever for the Contact to get things ready and work on Echoâs head piece. Rex thought you should step away for a minute, but Echo wanted you to stay. It was a difficult few minutes as you waited. You tried to be brave for Echo and not show how concerned you were. Once the man finished working on Echoâs head piece, everyone went to the local cantina for dinner.
After dinner you and the boys went to the market place to pick up supplies, you split into groups, Tech and Rex going one way, you and Echo going the other. While you walked through the market you noticed a vendor selling toys. You looked over at Echo with a grin. âYouâre spoiling Omegaâ Echo told you, but his smile gave him away. âI spoil all of youâ You teased, and winked at him, before walking up to the stall. Echoâs heart skipped a beat as he watched you. While Echo was lost in his thoughts a Tooka ran out from the alley, calling to Echo as he approached him. The constant meowing caught Echoâs attention and he looked down at the little creature with an amused smile. âWell, Hello there, little fella.â Echo said and reached down to pet the Tooka. It snuggled up to him. âYou sure are a friendly little thing, arenât you?!â He cooed. The black Tooka meowed and looked up at him with bright eyes. âOh, my stars! How cute!â You gasped as you walked up by Echo. He chuckled. âHe just ran up to meâ Echo said. âHe chose youâ you said with a teasing smile. âDonât startâ Echo warned, but still smiled. The Tooka continued to cuddle up to Echo. âAlright little fella, we got to goâ Echo said. He stood up to leave and as the two of you began to walk away the Tooka followed you. Echo sighed and you giggled. âStay hereâ Echo said, pointing at the Tooka. It seemed like he understood as he sat there. Echo was pleased and turned to walk away. You did too, but you knew the precious little creature might follow anyway. Tech sent a message on comms for you and Echo to return to the Marauder immediately. You and Echo made it back to the Marauder and left the planet.
Once in hyperspace you all sat in the cockpit. While you were talking all of the sudden you heard a meow. âOh, my stars! Echo itâs your little buddyâ You said, cooing to the Tooka. âEcho, why did you bring a Tooka on board?!â Tech complained. âI didnât! How was I supposed to know heâd follow me?!â Echo argued. âOh, stop fussing!â You chided them and picked up the Tooka. âThis little guy isnât going to be a problemâ You stated. Echoâs heart fluttered at the sight of you holding the Tooka. It called to Echo and you handed and you handed him over to Echo. He cuddled up to Echo. âHe sure does like youâ Rex commented. âHe needs a nameâ You stated. The group thought for a moment. Tech spoke up âHow about Shadow? He is always following youâ. Echo shrugged. You thought over some more names and one came to you that you werenât sure about sharing. âHow aboutâŚDomino?â You suggested. A little bit of surprise washed over Echoâs face but then a soft look took over his eyes. âThatâs perfectâ Echo said. You and Echo shared a smile. âItâs a good nameâ Tech agreed. Rex gave you a small smile. âWelcome to the squad, Dominoâ Echo said with a smile as he scratched behind Dominoes ears.
Domino followed Echo as he walked through the marketplace on Pabu. âGood morning, Echoâ You greeted with a smile. âGood morningâ He returned with a smile of his own. Domino meowed at you. âWhy hello, Dominoâ You said and knelt down to pet him. âHowâs Domino adjusting to Pabu?â You asked Echo. âReally well, heâs taken quite a liking to the Moon-yos. He loves chasing them and playing with them.â Echo replied. âIâm so glad to hear that.â You said, petting Domino one more time before standing up. âI meant to thank youâ Echo said. âFor what?â You asked surprised. âFor coming up with his name, I think my brothers wouldâve liked it, especially Fives. Fives probably wouldâve flirted with youâ Echo said with a chuckle. You laughed too then said âWell, it wouldnât have done him any good. I have my eye on someone.â You said, giving Echo a look that you hoped he understood meant him. Apparently, he did catch on because he stood there wide eyed and mouth agape. You felt disappointed when he didnât respond. âWell, I got to goâ You said, and quickly took off. Blast Echo thought as he watched you go. Why couldnât he say anything? Why did he always struggle with words when it came to you?. All Echo wanted was to tell you how he truly felt. Echo looked down at Domino. âWhatâs wrong with me, anyway?â He asked him. Domino just meowed at him.
It was a quiet evening and you sat outside of your home and stargazed. You heard a meow and looked down to see Domino. âHi, Domino. Sweet Boyâ You cooed and pet him. âWhereâs Echo?â You asked. âRight hereâ Echo said as he walked up to you. âHiâ he said sheepishly. âHiâ You returned. âMay I sit?â He asked, gesturing to the chair next to yours. âSureâ You agreed. Echo sat next to you. âItâs a beautiful eveningâ He commented. âIt isâ âThe stars are brightâ âThey areâ A moment of awkward silence passed. You looked over at Echo, he was looking up at the sky. His profile was beautiful. Echo felt your eyes on him and he looked over at you. Your heartbeat quicker at the soft look on his face. âIâm glad you were out here, I wanted to apologize for earlier. I, well, I was a bit nervous, and tongue tied.â Echo explained with a nervous chuckle as he scratched the back of his neck. âItâs alright, Echoâ You said sweetly, making Echo fall in love with you even more. âI love youâ Echo confessed. His eyes widened when he realized what heâd confessed. âDo you?â You asked softly. âI doâ He said surely. You smiled brightly. âI love you tooâ You said, holding out your hand for him to take. Echo held your hand and you both spent the rest of the night stargazing and talking. Echo felt hopeful for the future as he sat next to you, and his little Domino played with the Moon-yos.
Goodbye OG ship. You had me delulu thinking there were rooms with bunks, a living room, full-sized refresher complete with shower, and a hecka' nice space kitchen (okay so I dropped the kitchen and living room eventually, but maintained bunks and refresher).
I just want to say that the latest episode of The Bad Batch sealed the deal on my opinion of Phee.
She has grown on me immensely as a character, and I now have a very different view on TechPhee.
I didn't particularly like the attitude of her character at first, but I mostly clutched my pearls because literally any character they would've paired Tech up with would have had me doubtful lol. (Was I slightly jealous over a fictional man?? Apparently so).
The little comments about Tech telling her all about Crosshair got me though. The fact that this conversation took place at all gave me good feelz.
Then, just add the fact that she said, "any friend of Brown Eyes is a friend of mine."
She didn't say any friend of the Bad Batch.... She said any friend of Tech's. It was a show of her loyalty and affection for him specifically, and also, it gives a glimpse of how he felt about Crosshair despite the fact that at that point, our boi Cross still hadn't returned to the Bad Batch.
I just gotta' say. I've seen some negativity about her lately, about her demeaning them and whatnot. We saw him literally smiling at her multiple times in the last season. It didn't look like the face a guy who felt demeaned and disrespected...
Either way, you can ship or not. That is completely and entirely up to each person. Like anything else, we are all entitled to an opinion! I don't think you're a bad person if you don't like the ship. I won't sit here and assume that there must be a terrible motive for disliking the ship.
I'm just personally starting to think it's sweet. It doesn't mean that we can't all still enjoy some Tech x Reader! It's what fanfics are for. You can have fun no matter the outcome of the story.
I just felt inclined to share that!
I'm enjoying the show. I appreciate it. I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes us (also nervous, but you knowww).
There are more things about the show I want to touch on, but this was one that stuck out to me! Anyway, hang in there Batchers!!!
