Bad Batch: Secrets

"Why are there so many of these things?!" Hunter was battling a Droideka as the rest of the Batch took care of the Clankah's. The droid smacked him to the ground and shot. He remembered Wrecker screaming his name, and Tech yelling for a medic. His vision went black. He opened one eye and saw a blue skinned girl with deep red eyes and long navy blue hair. His heart did a little jump in his chest. Then he saw what she was holding. His eyes widened as she filled a syringe with dark green liquid. She looked him in the eyes and leaned forwards. He puckered up but she put a nozzle over his mouth. He went cross eyed glaring at the nozzle. It must have been some sort of gas because he blacked out again.

When he woke up; he couldn't move. The only thing that was moveable, were his eyes. He growled and tried to look at his body. "I wouldn't do that. The tranq shot I gave you should last about five more minutes." Hunter looked up at the voice. There it was. ✨her✨ He felt his heart beat faster. The only thing besides his eyes that could move. She sat down beside him. On a chair. Not the bed, unfortunately. She moved a strand of hair out of his face. He shivered at her touch. "Mmm." He tried to speak but all he could do was grunt. She studied him. He blinked at her, and she raised an eyebrow. "My name is Kivu'Dani'Ella." Hunter stared her. "My name is Daniella Kivu." Hunter remembered hearing about the Kivu family from the Chiss colony. Daniella took out a syringe, and by some miracle, the tranq shot wore off. As Daniella filled up the syringe, Hunter shrieked and jumped. His arms were attached to some IV's and they ripped out of his arms. Blood everywhere. Daniella jumped and quickly grabbed his arms; putting the IV's back in. He flailed and whined. "Noooooooooooooo!"She growled at him. "Stop! You're making it worse!" Hunter whimpered and climbed under the covers of the sick bed. He felt a sharp poke in his butt. "Ouch!" He blacked out.

Hunter woke again. This time he could move. He glared at Daniella. "Stop doing that!" She giggled then turned red, looking away. "You can move again. Great." Hunter coughed. "You look... nervous?" She swallowed. "I've gotta go check on something. Excuse me." Hunter watched as his dream girl ran away. He then shook his head. "Dream girl? Oh no, no, no, no."

Hunter plucked the IV's out of his arm. "Ew..." Then he slumped off the bed — and collapsed on the floor. "Ow! Kriff..."

The next few days were a blur. Hunter kept volunteering for suicide missions, and coming back wounded just so he could see Daniella again. One day while she cleaned out his wounds she glared at him. She seemed to be doing it rougher than necessary. "Ow!" Hunter gasped as she poked stitches into his chest. "That hurts!" She glared at him. "Then stop hurting yourself on purpose!" She stuck another stitch in, and he lashed out. His foot collided with her arm, and she flew backwards. She hit the wall with a thud.

Hunter's face paled. "Sorry!" He got up, wincing from the pain. "Are you okay?" He looked at her, worriedly, but she was... laughing?

 "Wha— how?" 

She laughed. "You're finally reacting to the pain! You've been staring at me the whole you've been in this room!"

"I have not—"

"Yes you have!" She grinned at him. "Want to see my favorite view on this planet?" 

"Huh?" Hunter was confused. He had just kicked her and she was asking him on what seemed to him like a date? "Sure... uh... okay? Yeah. Why not?" The two ran out of the room. Crosshair stared at them. "What the—?" Hunter waved at him cheerfully. Daniella took Hunter to a hill, the climbed up it. There was a cliff, with a waterfall and at the bottom of the waterfall; a village.

Daniella sat down and gestured for Hunter to do the same. The two sat next to each other. She pressed her side against his. She leaned her head on his shoulder as he slung one arm around her shoulder. The village sent up fireworks. Daniella realized what she was doing and unattached herself from Hunter. As the fireworks went off, the night fell. Hunter looked at Daniella and she looked at him. Hunter leaned forwards, closing his eyes. Almost there... he broke away at the last second. "Whoa... what was that?" He asked. "I don't what you're doing there, trying kiss me, huh Dani?" He swallowed, hoping she didn't see through his weak cover up. But she just laughed. "You're holding back. But I guess we'll  see who's kissing who later."

They watched the fireworks in silence. Hunter kept sneaking glances at Dani. She side eyed him. Hunter leaned forwards again. This time he didn't hold back. The two kissed. Hunter grinned stupidly. Because he's Hunter. (JK JK). They went back into the Med Bay and Dani closed and locked the door.

"Dani's what?!" Tech spit out whatever he was drinking. Wrecker licked it off the table, and Tech whacked him upside the head. Hunter didn't care. Dani was expecting a child. Dani was expecting HIS child. Hunter bounced up and down. "Isn't it great?!"

"Not the word I was thinking of, but okay." Tech stated.

Hunter ignored him. "But she is, and we... only two months ago but she's four months in. I think my increased aging is affecting the baby!" Crosshair gave him a look. "No, really?" Hunter bounced up and down impatiently. "I'm worried about her!" Just then, she came in. Dani gave Hunter a peck on the cheek, then addressed the Batch: "Yes, it's true. I am expecting, and yes, it is Hunter's." The Batch went wild. "Let's parh-tay!" Wrecker yelled. So they celebrated. It was fun.

"The baby's coming!" Hunter was running around in panic. Tech whacked him upside the head. "Calm down, dingus!"

Hunter calmed down, and stared at Dani. She was breathing heavily. Tech, who also had some medical training, was preparing to help deliver the baby. Dani cried out in pain, and Hunter saw something peeking out of her belly. The baby came. A female. She had brown eyes, with red iris's, and brown hair, and light blue skin. Almost white. Tech looked at them. "I'll leave you two alone for a bit. It was just those two, then: Dani cried out in pain again, this time, a boy came out. Hunter swallowed. "I love him... he's just like his mother." 

That's when Venice came in. Venice was the Jedi they were working with. She looked at the boy, and gasped. "Evil... evil demon baby! He must be sent away, never learning about his sister. He must grow up with his mother,"

Hunter felt like crying. "I won't see my son grow up? I won't see... Kivu'raw'nuru grow up?"

"Kivu'raw'nuru..." Dani muttered. "Good name..."

Dani had to leave with Kivu'raw'nuru. Hunter never saw either of them again. He named the daughter...

Tiffany.
