Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (Realization)
I was at work today thinking what would Crosshairs reaction be to realizing that he was in love with Lyni. Thinking of with their friendship he has stopped sleeping around, quit smoking and has a few drinks to unwind one of those would go insane again. In a nutshell, he gets drunk out of his mind.
************************************************************************
Looking at the six cups in front of him Crosshair motioned for another. Someone beside him was feeling his chest and shoulders murmuring about having fun, but he shook them off. It wasn't Lyni.
****
FIve more drinks in and the people around him finally realized that he did not want company. So when someone sat down beside him he turned to glare at them. Only to see, "Tech?"
His twin brother was merely looking at the collection of glasses critically, "You have gone over your usual limit." Looking him in the eye, "What is wrong?"
Crosshair whispered the answer but saw that Tech couldn't hear him. Then he spoke louder, "I'm in love with Lyni."
To his surprise Tech answered, "Yes, that was obvious." Motioning to the drinks and the bar around them, "How this was going to help is not."
Groaning into his hands, "I don't know either." Then feeling talkative because of the alcohol, "I guess i'm just doing what I always do when someone can understand me well." Swirling his latest drink in hand, "Run away from the connection."
Looking over he saw that Tech was typing on his phone before hearing a ping in his pocket, "I have sent you a list of ways knowing Lyni has improved your life." Moving on to the next thing, "I believe that they should be considered before abandoning your friendship with her."
Smiling at how his brother showed him support, "Thanks Tech." Setting down the unfinished drink, "I'll pay up and we'll head home."
"That is not necessary," Tech answered without looking up from his phone. As Crosshair tuned to him, "I have already paid and am merely waiting for you to be finished." With an almost amused chuckle Crosshair tapped his twins arm and they left the bar.
*****
The next morning Crosshair groaned as he woke up. Pain from his hangover was lancing though him as he turned from the light that found ways to poke though the window. His eyes fell on a bottle of water and a note in unfamiliar handwriting.
Picking it up he squinted to read, I came by to see how you were but Tech said you had a rough night. I hope you didn't get sick because of me. I hope that you feel better soon. - Lyni
Then there was an additional note at the bottom, P.S. I brought some croissants from the cafe. I told Wrecker to leave some for you, hopefully he listened. Either way please eat something. -L
A smile broke over Crosshair's face as he gently touched her name on the note. As well as the request that he eat something. Drinking the water he knew he couldn't just walk away from his friend. He would be there for her and the twins until the day he died.
************************************************************************
So, there you have it. Cross would go on a bender before Tech, his twin would pull him out of it.
Im taking both

there are two brothers in front of you.
What will you choose?
I like to think that crosshair and tech are twins

I also like doing a thumbs up at the end :3
New headcanons for tbb Tech & Crosshair the twins:
- Tech & Crosshair are twins
- They fight a lot ( only in their room )
- Tech likes info dumping to Crosshair just to annoy him
- Both were made at the same time
- They fight about random stuff ( ex; who was jinxed first etc. )
- Crosshair’s a virgin while Tech’s not ( don’t ask me )
- they hold hands sometimes
- they hug each other when sleeping
- Tech is older by 0.000000000003 seconds than Crosshair
- they mixed up Tech and Wrecker’s numbers so now Tech is 9902 and Wrecker is 9903
-Crosshair prefers to be quiet while Tech usually enjoys talking about many things ( ex. Space, how the ship works, etc. )
- Their both good at shooting ( long and short range )
- They can easily learn about different languages ( but Crosshair is a bit slower )
- They can also do calculations quickly ( But Tech can do it in his head while Crosshair needs to write it down to be able to calculate it )
- Tech is stronger than Crosshair and one time carried him in a mission ( cuz he got hurt ) and Tech told him that he weighed like a medium sized pot full of soil with 2 small plants inside, which kinda sounds heavy but it's not
- They both can draw well ( but not as well as Hunter ), while Tech drawing the mechanism of a ship once and Crosshair drawing a sketch of Omega when he was bored ( I'll show the drawing on my next post, not Tech's tho I can't properly draw a spaceship )
And that’s it for now

I’ll update it when I think of more stuff
I like to imagine that Tech and Crosshair both have long ass stuffed toys
Like Tech having a banana one and Crosshair having a cat one, which doesn’t make sense
But it’s funny :)
Winter Whumperland Day 5: Ebenezer Scrooge (Time Loop)
Fandom: Star Wars The Bad Batch
Warnings: Multiple character deaths as well as suicide.
Summary: After being killed by the empire, Tech finds himself stuck in a time loop.
It had been six months after the end of the war. Tech had been with his family when the empire came to Ord Mantell.
Sitting at Cid's bar, clone troopers in gray and white armor entered. Then Crosshair had. His armor was no longer its familiar red and black.
Wrecker was the one to go down first. He pulled his gun, ready to shoot. Then he was gone. Omega leaned in closer to Tech who grabbed her unconsciously.
Echo was next. Then Hunter. Everything happened too fast. Before Tech could react he was on the floor, trying to protect Omega. Then she was gone. He had been shot in the side.
Tech looked up at
But when he opened his eyes it was morning again. He listened to the sound of Wrecker laughing and Echo telling him "don't do that! Hunter and Tech are still asleep."
That wasn't possible. They had just died didn't they? Was it all just a twisted nightmare.
What Tech knew for sure was that he needed to get up. It had all felt so real. But that was impossible. Or at least that's what Tech thought.
As the family went though their day, the clone slowly got more and more nervous. He wasn't able to shake the feeling of the nightmare. No matter what he did, even when the day seemed to be over, Tech couldn't calm down.
That was until it happened again. The clone reacted differently this time. As soon as the door opened and he heard the footsteps, he told them they needed to go. They needed to leave.
But it was too late. This time Tech had grabbed Omega sooner. He tried to get her behind the bar. As Wrecker was killed, Tech pushed Omega behind him. If anything he wouldn't let her die.
Hunter tried to move to Echo's side. He ordered Tech to take Omega and get her out of the bar.
"I'm trying" Tech shot back.
Echo shot a few of the troopers down before he was killed. As his body fell, Hunter instinctively tried to catch him. He didn't even know why he tried to. He knew he was gone.
For a moment time seemed too slow for them. Hunter sat on the ground, stunned. Then they shot him.
Tech had gotten Omega out the back door. He looked down at his comm to see what time it was. It seemed so insignificant, yet like something he should do. 2100 hours.
As the two turned the corner, Crosshair was waiting for them. Tech grabbed Omega and tried to get her out of the line of fire. Once more his efforts were in vain.
She hadn't been killed immediately. This time, Tech couldn't do anything but watch as she died. He held herz trying to figure out what to do. Crosshair had paused his attack, realizing the girl was still alive.
What was maybe thirty seconds felt like hours. Tech has never been good with the dieing. But he held her. He looked at Crosshair when she had stopped breathing and went to stand. A bullet met his skull.
Then he woke up. He didn't understand what was happening or why it was happening to him. Wrecker was laughing again.
"Don't do that! Hunter and Tech are still asleep." He heard Echo say.
It was morning again.
Tech remembered the time that the attack happened. Unnerved, he went to find Omega. When he found her he just pulled her into a hug. He only held her for a moment but she was still confused.
"Are you feeling okay Tech?" Echo asked.
"Yes" Tech answered quickly. He then walked back to his bed. What did he do about this? The day seemed to be repeated. Every time he died, the day started over. He walked back to the others.
"How about we, go somewhere" Tech proposed.
"And where should we go Tech?" Hunter asked.
"Somewhere."
"Are you sure you're okay? You're acting kinda funny?" Wrecker stood to walk over to him.
"Yes I am."
"We could explore more of Ord Mantell?" Omega said excitedly.
"No!" Tech said loudly. "How about the, near by moon?"
The others looked at each other. "how about we do that tomorrow?" Echo said.
"No. We should go now."
"How about we go see if Cid needs something?" Hunter suggested.
"Fine" Tech answered. Then the group left the Marauder. Cid told them to run a few on world errands for her and despite Tech's protests, they did.
2100 hours came around quickly. For an hour before that, Tech has been trying to get them to leave the bar. But Wrecker was having fun talking to someone, Echo and Hunter were throwing darts, and Omega had been talking to Cid until a few minutes ago.
When Tech hears the footsteps, he pulled his gun, ready. As soon as he could confirm it was the empire, he started shooting. It helped this time.
They got to Cids office before they started to die. Tech couldn't remember what happened when he woke up.
"Don't do that! Hunter and Tech are still asleep." Echo sounded annoyed as he tried to get Wrecker to stop whatever he had been doing.
Over and over Tech tried to stop them from dying. Over and over he failed them. It felt like fighting a fire with matches. As he grew tired he tried to find different ways to deal with the attacks. He tried almost every angle he could to get them off Ord Mantell. No matter what they seemed to stay.
It had been so long. Why had he been chosen for this? What even could cause such a time loop and why were they so important? It had to be something like the will of the force but why were they the ones to live?
"Don't do that! Hunter and Tech are still asleep."
Tech didn't get up this time. He had tried and tried and tried. After a few hours of trying to come up with a plan, he walked out to the others. He tried to get them to listen to him. He tried to get them off world. But they were still at the damn bar by 2100 hours.
Before the others knew it, they were going out the back door. The fight was taken to the streets. One by one, they fell. First Wrecker, then Echo, then Hunter, then Omega. It was just him and Crosshair.
Diving behind some building Tech, with shacking hands pulled his gun to his head. Every memory of every attempt flooded his head. Before Crosshair got the chance to take him out once more, he shot.
He woke up on the Marauder as he knew he would. He fell asleep for a while.
Hours after he was supposed to wake up, he walked to the cockpit. He made sure everyone was in the ship before simply taking off. He didn't care when they asked where he was taking them.
When Cid commed the group to warn them to not go back to Ord Mantell, the batch asked Tech how he had known and asked why he didn't just tell them. Tech shook. Even though he wanted to explain, it all sounded too crazy.
Instead he walked back to his bed and laid down. He tossed his gun to the other side of the room, trying to find the strength to not circum to the memories of something that no longer existed.
The batch watched him carefully for a while. Slowly Tech tried to recover. He felt like he had.
Now he was hanging off of a rail car. As he realized what he had to do, Tech thought of the cruel irony of the situation. He had saved them so many times by dying. It was time to do it again.
But something told him he wouldn't be waking up again. This was it. Tech had saved them all so many times just to die one final time.
As he shot the only part of the car that held the other on to the rail, he sighed. Maybe he would just get to rest this time.

An old piece that I started back when I first started the Bad Batch! I finally finished it up today to celebrate s3 coming out tomorrow!
Enjoy some batch twins with the starter Pokemon I thought fit them! (I do have a small story as to why Tech has Serperior and Crosshair has Sceptile)
