Bad Batch x Fem Reader - Rocky Road
Letting out a sigh of contentment as you enjoy the way your fingertips massage your scalp as you finish lathering up the shampoo into your hair. You stepped back into the hot spray of the shower watching the bubbles run down over your naked form. Rolling your head clockwise and anticlockwise, feeling the tension of your muscles relax before letting your head hang, feeling the hot water drum against your skin in a peaceful moment.
Unexpectedly the ship violently lurched to the left, a cry escaped your lips as you were flung against the small metal stall screen, and pain blossomed throughout your left arm, hip and leg. Before you could even righten yourself the ship screeched to a sudden halt as if someone slammed on the brakes of a speeder sending you backwards against the wall; you felt the air being forced out of your lungs before you registered the pain that ripped throughout your back.
Tears quickly began to cloud your vision as the ebb of panic began to grow with each second you couldn’t force a breath into your lungs. Mouth agape you slid down the wall, trying to get onto your hands and knees desperate to get out a range of the spray of the shower and the small stall and into the main room of the refresher.
The bellows of the boys and their thundering footsteps resounded throughout the ship, you turned to yourself Focus, you cannot panic now, breathe out, breathe it all out! You commanded yourself. You were unsure if you were blinking away the tears or the water that was dripping off your skin. Forcing the trapped air in your lungs out through your mouth to the point you felt there was nothing left to exhale. You shakily tried once more to breathe in and with great relief washed over you as your body obeyed and allowed your lungs to inflate.
You were unsure if it was just your hand that was trembling or if it was the ship as you blindly reached for your towel. Latching onto the soft fabric, you pulled it off the rack, gritting your teeth as you tugged it around your body. Rolling the hem down praying that it kept the towel in place. You didn’t even notice that you had grabbed the hand towel.
Holding onto the wall to support your unsteady legs. You already knew that your skin would be decorated in a lovely range of blues and blacks as your body throbbed with a wave of nausea threatening to wash over you. You reached for the button for the door, luckily it complied and opened without issue. You didn’t even want to entertain the idea of being locked inside and being thrown about even more.
Bracing your arms on the doorway, you looked down the hall to your left to see; what you would believe to be a crashed wreckage of a ship if you weren’t on it and it was still moving. Wires had come loose and hung from the ceiling like a mass of black tentacles, and snaked across the ground. The white lights had switched to red, a telltale sign that the ship had substituted for auxiliary power. The ventilation grates had become uprooted, the pipes looked like they had swelled if that was possible.
For the third time, the ship tilted almost to a 45-degree angle, sending you flying into the wall in front of you, you raised your arms across your face as you braced for impact only to be met with a slightly softer landing. Your left knee slid past the object that cushioned your fall and collided with the metal wall.
A whimper escaped your lips as you gritted your teeth riding out the wave of pain. Clutching to the firm object as you fought back the tears, you spared a glance up, wondering what you had crashed into and to your surprise you came face to face with Hunter.
His strong arms were wrapped around your back keeping you firmly pinned against his body, you did not doubt that his back took the full brunt of your combined weight as you were hurled into the wall. “You okay?” he grunted, his eyes slowly reopened as he had shut them prior to impact. You gave a weak nod, not trusting your voice to be anything but hoarse which would no doubt have him questioning your wellbeing and trying to tend to your injuries before the ship was seen too.
You risked a look down at your knee not wanting to see the full damage of the direct contact with the wall caused. You were more angry than embarrassed to see Hunter's leg in between yours and pressed up against you. Selfishly wishing that he had managed to protect your knee as he did the rest of your body, for the pain pulsated through your knee with what felt like fire. If he noticed himself in the compromising position you both found yourself in he didn’t say anything.
His arms slowly uncoiled themselves from around you. You took a step back feeling your knee sear in pain as you gingerly placed your weight on it. You offered him a hand which he accepted, steadying each other as you both found your feet. He gave you a once over, and you missed his eyes widening before he cleared his throat making a rough gesture with his hands down the corridor, “sorry” he mumbled as he made his way forward. You followed slowly behind hobbling as you made your way to the cockpit.
You heard his heavy footsteps before you saw him, though apparently, the large clone didn’t see you either as he barrelled into you, sending you face-first to the ground once more. Before your body could be damaged any further by meeting the deck of the ship, Wrecker's arm hastily hooked itself around your upper body, pulling you upright and towards him.
“Wooooo there” Wrecker chuckled as rightened you.
You mumbled out a small thank you as you instinctively clutched his large hand to your chest with your smaller ones. Feeling a hot blush rise across your cheeks, you cast a look down and found his large hand grasping your breast. “Ah Wrecker, please can you let go?” the clone turned his attention down and quickly released you as if you were hot to the touch. He rushed out a long string of apologies as he began to edge around you and gave you a full berth with his hands palm up so you could see that no further offences would happen.
You prayed that you could make it to the cockpit without another indecent incident. Though you were unsure since you hadn’t yet run into Tech or Crosshair, and the universe has thrown you against two of the four why not the rest?
When you reached the front of the ship, Tech was in the pilot chair, shouting responses over the blaring sirens to answer Hunter's increasingly distressing questions regarding the state of his ship. Hunter stood holding onto the console to Tech’s right. Wrecker stood behind them both holding onto the ceiling for support though there was no Crosshair in sight.
You ducked under Wrecker's arm and stood to the left of Tech to get a better view of the control panel watching in disbelief as all lights lit up blinking in rapid succession, red and amber flashing as if anything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. The Havoc marauder once again stuttered as the inner systems of the engine struggled to work.
A worrying scraping and crunching sounded to your left before the familiar sound of pressure building in the pipes resonated throughout the cockpit accompanied by a popping as the bolt shot off and hit the wall across the room. The ship rolled abruptly to the right. You tried to grab the back of Tech’s chair to once more steady yourself but missed as it spun away out of your grip.
Forcing your weight onto your left leg in an attempt to keep yourself from being sent into yet another wall, you yelped as pain that erupted through your joint forced you to shift your weight back on your right leg causing you once more to lose your footing and you went crashing again into the floor.
Luckily, Tech swirled his seat around just in time for you to go, arms flailing, onto his lap. You groaned as your lower abdomen slammed against his thighs. You would have continued to slide off and over if your own thighs had caught on the edge of his chair. Locking you in what was no doubt an unprofessional position. Pain greeted you once more as you slapped the metal grating on the floor in an impulsive move to protect your head from getting what you would believe to be another concussion.
“Oh for fuck sake” you wheezed out. You couldn’t tell if your face was hot due to another blush of embarrassment of being thrown around as a ragdoll whilst everyone remained steady-footed or due to the blood rushing to your face as it was centimetres from the ground. Though what you certainly could tell was the cold breeze of air that kissed your naked booty. Naked? Has your towel ridden up?
“Uhh (y/n) are you okay?” Tech nervously asked.
You gripped his thighs to the best of your ability as you tried to push yourself back up, his hand timidly reaching to your waist to steady you not daring to remove both hands from the steering wheel.
You took in a shaky breath before working up the nerve to look down at yourself and to your horror noticed that your towel barely covered the beginning of your thighs. Before your brain could begin a side showreel of your journey from the shower to here which will no doubt play on repeat every night for the foreseeable future whilst keeping sleep at bay, you forced yourself to stare ahead at the window. Determined to pray and hope that your wardrobe malfunction had not been noticed in the current chaos.
“Grand, thank you Tech, might I ask that you if you could stop the ship from trying to kill us that would be great” you answered him quietly. Daring not spare a glance at any men to see their faces.
“What is kriffing going on?!” you turned just in time to see the sniper come to a sliding halt in the cockpit doorway, his chest heaving as a thin layer of sweat trickled down his face. His eyebrows furrowed as he levelled at what you believed was a confused once-over. Since you have never seen Crosshair look confused, you were unsure. You felt your face heat up in sheer embarrassment either way. Casually you tried to move your hands to cover your front.
Hunter grumbled in annoyance as he gripped the console and pulled himself up into a standing position. “Where have you been?” Wrecker asked loudly.
“I got locked in the bunks, the damn door wouldn’t open. Then I got tossed around for a bit” he snarled at his share of events, rubbing his elbow, no doubt one of his many injuries.
“Stories can wait! Tech you better have a way to fix this ship! I have no interest in kicking the can today” Hunter growled.
“That I do” Tech declared. He spun his chair to face everyone, adjusting his goggles; he pulled out his holopad before reciting the long list of items that would need fixing.
Standing on your tiptoes on top of a stool. Your arms ached as you held them above your head, holding some insufferable pieces of wiring together, your knee just aching in protest of being used. Why Tech couldn’t have spared a moment to pass you some tape that he usually carried on him when he walked passed you did not know.
Crosshair stood next to you, one hand on a leaver that had to be held down as it kept tripping if it was left alone. The other twirling his toothpick between his fingers. It was also he who decided to remind you that you had grabbed the hand towel that was incredibly short and not your actual towel. You turned red at his words then crimson when he told you not to worry it looked good on you.
“Oh no,” you whimpered, eyes widening you cast a frightened look at Crosshair who gave you a raised eyebrow in response.
“Oh nononononoooooo” You could feel the fabric of your towel slowly beginning to unfurl itself. The fear and realisation of becoming completely naked in just mere moments had you desperately looking around the corridor for anything you could use to either hold the blasted wire in place so you could adjust yourself or you could press yourself against something in hopes of pinning the towel in place.
“What?” The sniper asked watching you curiously. “The towel!” you quietly yelled at him, not wanting to alert the rest of the ship to your current predicament.
Your head snapped back left to right, your eyes darting frantically around the room desperately scanning anything, but nothing was in reach. “Oh fuck oh fuck” Casting a look down, you could see it. You could feel it, in mere moments you were going to be standing stark naked in front of Crosshair.
“Crosshair, please! Help me” you begged him, you weren’t even sure what he could do.
Before you could even drop the wires in your hand, you felt strong hands encircling your body, catching the towel and pinning it in place before it could fall too far. Flickering your gaze down you could see the back of Crosshairs head. He managed to hook his foot on the leaver to keep it down, then stretched his entire body in order to help you. How he did this so fast you did not know.
You remained stunned momentarily before remembering your manners “Thank you” you quietly told him. With his fast reflexes at catching your towel, you were grateful that only the top of your breast was exposed.
“Tech get your ass in here with some tape!” He growled out. The top of his head was pressed against your stomach. Did he throw his gaze down just in case he didn’t catch my towel in time? To make sure what was left of my dignity remained intact? Is he…. Actually a gentleman?
“Dammit Tech, she shouldn't be standing like this with no proper clothes on!” Hunter grumbled at his brother as he followed him into the corridor. A wire spool and a jumble of cables in his hand.
“Well, I presumed the highest priority at this time was saving the ship. Due to the likelihood of the ship suffering an irreversible catastrophic failure that could result in an immediate explosion or failure of all power which would leave us without life support then followed by an explosion. I did not think that the matter of one's clothing was important considering what we wear would not be enough to save us” Tech stated loudly as he walked past in one hand his holopad, supported by his fingers he still managed to tap away with his thumb. While in his other hand he held his tape.
“She's a woman Tech, tends to have a little more to show than a man, not like you would know” Crosshair hissed. You would have joined in with scolding him had the words explosion not sent a cold shiver down your spine.
Staring at him, eyes wide, you ask “We were close to exploding?”
He dragged over a crate and climbed on top. He pocketed his pad and began unrolling the tape before circling it around the two wires and securing them together. “Not any more” he said matter of factly before stepping back down.
“At the time yes, but we have taken sufficient measures that we should have reduced the probability of an explosion”
Blinking at him, you asked timidly “Tech I am hearing “Should have” are we still in danger?” On one hand you were scared of imminent death but on the other, you wouldn’t have to remember the embarrassment that was these past few hours, ever again.
“Well I won’t fully know until we land the ship and I have time to do a full diagnostic” He shrugged his shoulders before pulling out his holopad once more. Tapping the screen, he adjusted his goggles “There are still more items we need to look into if we are to succeed with this plan” he stated matter of factly.
Crosshair had let go of your waist when you had securely clutched the towel in your hands. “Thank you” you gave him a small smile.
“(Y/N) go get some clothes on -” You scrambled down the corridor before Hunter could even finish his sentence, hearing the command was all you need for you to take your leave and find some clothes, then you could focus on not dying.

CHARACTER DESIGN SHEET - Captain Mark
Species: Human (clone)
Born: 32 BBY
After the Battle of Genosis, Mark was assigned to serve as Captain of the Eighty-Second (82nd) Battalion. Under the command of Jedi General Thalen – who was bookish and nervous – the 82nd suffered many loses. Everything came to a head 3 months later, during a battle on Eadu’s moon, where Thalen and nearly the entire Battalion was massacred. Only Mark and 11 other clones survived.
Mark and the remaining 11 were then reassigned to Chimera Company, a new clone company made up of the remnants of more than a dozen similarly-decimated armies. Chimera was led by Jedi General Teyla Marin and her Padawn, Commander Gida Tiatkin. With the poor leadership of Thalen, Mark was very reluctant to take orders from more Jedi, but he eventually found common ground with Teyla and Gida, and the three of them were able to turn the fragmented company into a cohesive, close-knit unit.
*
While he repainted his armor to match the purple of the rest of Chimera Company, he kept the green of the 82nd on the fin of his helmet as a tribute to the ones he lost. The rest of Chimera followed suit, wearing the purple paint of their current company, and the color of their original units on their helmets.
*
Mark is Force-sensitive. Discreetly, she and Gida Tiatkin began teaching – but not training – Mark about how to utilize his newfound abilities.
Once it came into her possession, Teyla gifted Mark the lightsaber of her old maser, Sifo-Dyas. He fitted it with a kyber crystal he had found in a cave while on a mission two years before. Mark’s fighting style leans towards offense, and is somewhat aggressive, similar to Form V, Shien & Djem So.
*****
And thus completes the design sheets for the heads of Chimera Company!! Though time consuming and tedious, I'm so pleased with how they've turned out!!
You can read more about Mark, Teyla, and Gida on my AO3, HERE!
