A Fateful Meeting:

Ages:

Wrecker: 9 1/2

Crosshair: 9

Cobalt: 8

Tech: 6

99: 45

Trix: 11

Echo and Fives: 10

The five brothers all relaxed visibly as the train pulled out of the station.

"Man, I'm so glad we're out of there." Wrecker said.

"You're telling me." Hunter nodded.

"Ok, I can't believe it's taken me this long to realise this but what pray tell do we do when we arrive at the station." Crosshair said.

"We need to find somewhere to lay low, where she can't find us." Hunter said.

"I'm sure we'll find somewhere, but we should try and relax, we have a few hours we need to disembark." Tech said.

"He's right, we should probably eat, personally I'm starving." Hunter said.

The others nodded in agreement and pulled the food from their bags and tucked in.

After a bit they'd finished and the leftovers were packed away in their bags.

Cobalt was on his way to the bathroom when he accidentally collided with someone.

"Sorry." A boy a few years older than him apologised.

"Sorry wasn't watching where I was going." Cobalt said.

"It's alright..." The boy said holding out a hand.

"Cobalt." Cobalt said accepting the hand.

"My names' Trix, nice to meet you Cobalt." The boy said.

"Nice to meet you too." Cobalt said.

"Look after yourself." Trix smiled before walking off.

Cobalt smiled before heading to the bathroom.

Trix went over to where his adopted father 99 and his younger twin brothers Echo and Fives were sitting.

"Everything okay Trix?" 99 asked as his eldest son sat down.

"Yeah, just bumped into someone on my way back." Trix nodded.

"Who?" Fives asked looking up from the tablet he was playing on.

"No one special, just some kid, one of the five over there." Trix said.

99 couldn't help his curiosity and saw Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair and Tech sitting together.

"Where do you think their parents are?" Echo asked.

"I don't know Echo, I didn't see anyone who looked like their parents." Trix said

"Weird, they look younger than us." Fives said.

"Yeah, who'd let them ride the train by themselves, at this time of night too." Echo said.

99 was silent, thinking everything over in his head.

A few hours later the train pulled into the station.

99, Trix and the twins made their way through the hustle and bustle of the station and managed to get outside.

99 was checking over Trix and the twins when he notices something

Those five boys Trix had mentioned were standing together, 99 kept an eye on them for a few minutes but no one appeared to collect them, in fact no one seemed interested in them whatsoever.

Unable to bear the sight anymore 99 went over, the kids following.

He approached the five boys who looked up at him nervously.

"Are you boys alright?" 99 asked.

"umm yeah, we're just waiting for our...mother." Hunter lied.

"Is she nearby, young boys like you all shouldn't be out here by yourselves, especially at this time of night." 99 said.

"She should be close by, but we can't see her." Wrecker said eyes darting around looking for a possible escape route.

"Well how about you all come over to my house and get some rest, and I'll try and call your mother so she can collect you." 99 offered.

Hunter shook his head.

"We may be kids but we know not to go off with strangers." He said.

Echo spoke up.

"99 is a good man you guys, you can trust him." He said.

The five looked at them skeptically before huddling together and having a muttered conversation.

"Do you really think we can trust him?" Crosshair asked the others.

"I dunno, he seems okay to me." Cobalt said.

"I think we can trust him." Wrecker said.

"Wrecker, we don't know him." Hunter said.

"We don't know anyone here Hunter, but I read him, he's not like mother." Wrecker said.

"He's a stranger Wrecker." Crosshair hissed.

"Again I know, but whenever we sneak those movies when she's out I'm always the one judging the characters, seeing them for who they are, and I'm never wrong am I?" Wrecker asked.

"No." Hunter shook his head.

"This guy, we can trust him." Wrecker said.

"I'll take your word on it." Hunter nodded.

The five looked up at 99 nodding.

"Okay Mister, we trust you." Hunter said.

"Alright, my name is 99, this is Trix, Fives and Echo." 99 said introducing his kid.

"I'm Hunter, this is Wrecker, Crosshair, Cobalt and Tech." Hunter said introducing the others who each waved shyly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you boys, now come on, it's been a long day and I'm sure you must all be exhausted." 99 said.

"You got that right." Wrecker said stifling an almighty yawn behind his hand.

99 just smiled and led the boys along.

The walk was mostly silent aside from the occasional yawn from either Trix, the twins or the five boys with them.

99 was certainly curious about this kids, he had never seen them around town before and he certainly hadn't missed the muttered conversation they'd had before agreeing to follow him...he just couldn't help the feeling that they were running from something, but what.

They soon got to the house, a modest 4 bedroom house but the way the boys looked at it, it was like a mansion.

"Wow, you live here." Wrecker said in awe.

"Yes I do, it's not much, but it's home." 99 said.

"It's lovely." Wrecker said, the other four nodding in agreement.

"Thank you Wrecker." 99 said opening the door and allowing the boys to troop in.

Echo switched the lights on and even Crosshair was in awe at how cosy the house looked.

"Wow, this is cosy." Crosshair said blushing slightly in embarrassment at having saying that out loud.

"Thank you Crosshair." 99 smiled.

A very loud yawn from Cobalt made 99 chuckle.

"Ok everyone, time for bed, you five may as well get some sleep too while we wait for your mother, do you have pajamas?" 99 asked.

The boys shook their heads.

"That's alright, could you three lend them some Pj's?" 99 asked.

Trix and the twins nodded leading the other boys upstairs.

99 pulled out the phone book and looked through the names trying to find the surname Hunter had mentioned to him although for some reason he couldn't find it.

After the boys had changed into pajamas 99 set up some sleeping bags for the boys, Trix sharing his room with Cobalt and Wrecker, Fives sharing his room with Hunter and Crosshair and Echo sharing his with Tech.

99 tucked in each of the boys and changed into his own pajamas.

After searching for a while longer and finding nothing he decided to head to bed himself.

On his way he checked on each of the boys and they were all sleeping peacefully.

99 then headed to bed himself.

Omega be like: "That is not staying there"

i need a rebel pilot Omega series so she can have a holocall with Hunter and her roommates are like "YOU DIDN'T TELL US YOU HAVE A HOT DAD"

and she's like "i'm going to pretend i didn't hear that"

They've never done a good job with showing us reactions to deaths we never got to see the 501st mourn Hardcase, never got to see Echo be told about Fives' death and this too, they barely even mentioned Tech at all.

It's things like this that make you wonder why they bother building up characters just to kill them

I try not to think too much about Phee in Season 3 because, simply put, it's frustrating and upsetting.

We are led to believe she's not helping Hunter and Wrecker find Omega or Tantiss, at all. Nothing. Zilch. Despite her wealth of knowledge and connections.

She is seldom if ever on Pabu despite it being the second most common narrative locale in S3 (right behind Tantiss). Except that was the best way for the Empire to find it, apparently!

Her first interaction with Omega we get to see isn't a joyous reunion it's an 'oh hi kid'.

She apparently didn't confront Cid over betraying the Batch. No one did, actually!

Just.

Yeah. I don't know what happened here but it was bad.

Ao3 being a real jerk and either refusing to log me in or constantly logging me out

If Tom dies in Sonic 3 Paramount gonna be looking like this:
