The Bad Batch: Soft Universe

Empowerment.

Both brothers Sat in Silence for a long while, gazing at the trillions of Stars that Passed by them at a rapid speed, only an occasional Soothing hush left them when Omega began to Stir from her Slumber.
"Tech?" Her softer voice piped up, gazing at her brother with a Confused Look. "Wrecker?"
"Hey we're here, kid." Wrecker moved over as she Stretched, hugging Tech close to her with a Smile before reaching for Wrecker who gladly lifted her up for a hug.
"Be careful!" Tech warned, staring at Omega's injuries as she hugged him as tightly as she could. As she held Wrecker, he activated his Comm. " Omega's awake." That's all he had to say before everybody came rushing in to see her on Wreckers shoulder giving a gentle wave to them all.
"Omega!" Echo smiled, walking closer toward her as Wrecker passed her to his arms so she could hug him too. "How're you feeling?"
"I feel okay, thank you all for saving me again." Her voice cut off for a short moment as she thought, "I'm just sorry I got us into a mess again."
"Stop apologising." Crosshair moved forward, leaning against a wall as he chewed against his toothpick, "Those bounty hunters were in the wrong, not you." A familiar smile graced Omega's face as she jumped down from Echos' arms and into a rather grumpy Crosshair's arms instead, who only hesitantly hugged her back.
"Thank you." She repeated, "You're amazing." Hunter gently crouched by her with a Similar Smile he had developed ever since she joined their little family aboard the Havoc Marauder, her ability to melt all of their hearts always outstanded him and others.
"I bet you're hungry right?" He questioned, gently taking her hand. "Come on, let's get you something to eat." With that, the remaining brothers sat together in deep questioning as Tech fumbled on his datapad.
"The empire," Crosshair broke the Silence, "they want to create an entire clone generation based off of her that's why they want her so badly."
"And how do you know this?" Echo glared over toward where Crosshair was standing, watching him as he sat down on his seat. Tech stored over before continuing to type frantically against his datapad attempting to see how true and accurate his assumption is.
"Calm down," he scrawled, leaning his arms against his knees, "back when I was with the Empire, I heard the rumour floating around but I didn't think it was for her." Crosshair leaned back into his seat, throwing his feet against the control panels once again much to Tech's annoyance and mumbled 'get off'.
"Of course it would be for her!" Echo retorted, Standing and throwing his arms out gesturing his words as he spoke. "Why wouldn't it be for her? They've already got two high-skill bounty hunters on her!" Crosshair Stood as well, practically hissing his words.
"Why in the universe would they want her?" He asked, glaring back toward Echo, "What would they want her for?"
"Her ability." Tech breathed, shoving his three brothers closer toward him and his datapad, "Whatever they created her for and tested her for, they want to see if it's worked and the Empire wants it."
"How can you be so sure?" Wrecker asked, his eyes softened at the mention of intense tests she had to go through at such a young age.
"It's all over this chatter I picked up, that they're after an experiment and paying extremely well for the capture of her. It only makes sense that it's Omega they want and whatever skill she has is wanted."

"Who's wanted?" Omega asked, walking in with a rations bar and a smile on her face Indicating that Hunter had been successful in cheering her up after the whole ordeal that had occured. "Is somebody in trouble?" Hunter had heard it all before she walked in, sharing a knowing glance with his brothers not to tell her just yet - she'd already been through enough.
"Uhm, nobody knew it was just a Story Echo had been sharing with us!" Wrecker smiled, completely throwing Echo under the shuttle. Omega's eyes lit up, causing Echo to hold his breath wracking his mind for a story to tell.
"A story? Can I hear it too?" Tech smiled a little, adoring her curiosity for the world and her brothers. Everything that they did on a daily basis was absolutely fascinating to her so his own ambition was to show her as much of the universe he could within his life. Hence he always shared various kinds of information with her about anything and everything and her curious self always loved it. "Don't worry, you've heard this one before." She just nodded, Softly beginning to chew the bar of food before gazing at them all.
"Don't you all need to eat now too?" She questioned, wiping away several Crumbs with her Sleeve, "I'll go and get yours!" With that, she rushed back into the dining area of the ship as Tech tried to interject;
"We don't have to eat yet, we need to wait until - Oh. She's gone."
"Don't worry about it this time, Tech." Wrecker laughed before Hunter rushed over to them and spoke rather quickly in a rapidly hushed tone.
"Don't tell her they're after her yet- we'll discuss it once she's in a better frame of mind." Crosshair gazed toward him, frowning a little.
"Don't forget her training, I think it's time she learnt how to take care of herself." He paused in thought, "It's better for us to find her skill then the Empire first, it could help us and her keep her safe." Despite the worries among the brothers, they agreed that it was the best plan to train her correctly. Enough to keep herself protected until they arrived and maybe Tech could look into what nala se was testing for. Before they could discuss any further, she had run in with a handful of ration bars, gently passing them out to each of her brothers.

"Here!" She Smiled at all of them, "You all had a tough day too. I'm Okay now! I can take care of you." Crosshair couldn't hold back a smirk from Showing on his face.
"We don't need protecting, Kid." Her eyes darted toward him before shuffling a little uncomfortably on her feet. Hunter was about to interject before her own near shout cut him off rather abruptly;
"Teach me to be like you!" Even Crosshair stood standing pretty shocked at her request before trying to bring back his Sour expression.
"Like me? You wouldn't be able to handle it..." He tried to reason with her, attempting to lean her toward basic hand-to-hand combat.
"I can." Her voice lay Stern, Strength behind her words. "I can keep up with you, trust me." He nodded before gazing at the rest of his brothers, receiving nods of approval and a Soft Smile from Hunter. Teaching Probably wasn't his best skill, but he'd do his best for her.
"Fine." He stated, moving toward her and ruffling her hair. "We begin as soon as we find a place to land and we start with basic blasters and move up from there." Tech soon ruffled about with his datapad before gazing in Hunter's direction.
"I know a planet that's off of Empire radars - It's deserted but filled with nature, it's perfect for training grounds. It lays untouched from any Republic or Empire forces and no Species reside there beside the occasional harmless animal." Hunter moved forward, crouching beside Omega being sure not to hurt her arm.

"Are you sure about this Omega?" He asked, an attempted soothing tone coating his words to her, "You've had a tough day and you're hurt."
"I need to learn to fight through injury too..." Omega's voice remained filled wi.th confidence, "i'm ready to protect myself. I want to find my enhanced Skill too." With a soft sigh, Hunter looked toward Tech with a more serious gaze.
"Set coordinates for that planet - it's about time We all got Some practice." Tech did so and enabled hyper space as he controlled the ship, the other brothers Sitting in their assigned Seats watching Omega's eyes light up at the Sight of blurred stars passing them rapidly. Training will give her some power back and it'll give her brothers some peace of mind too. Empowerment is what she needs and Something her big brothers will give to her.

A little shorter today to prepare for a longer chapter that I'll start working on ASAP! I really hope that you're all enjoying this so far! I'm thinking about including a separate book filled with one shots but I'm unsure!
Stay tuned! :)
