CT-7707 stands beside Hera, scratching at his arm with a shaking hand. “Th-They won’t like me. They’re rulebreakers, I’m not.”

“Sweety, they’re your family.” Hera sighs. “They’ll be shocked to see you… but a good shocked. It’ll be okay.”

“I st-still don’t… remember much.” CT-7707 mumbles. “Wh-What if they’re m-mad I don’t remember?”

“They won’t be.” Hera watches the ship land. “I explained that you don’t remember.”

Tech nodded. "You had friends and Dogma and Tup were quite fond of you as well." He smiled. "and of course Rex looked out for you all." Tech smiled gently.

"and when you were chosen for sniper training that's how we met." Crosshair said. "And I adopted you."

Echo chuckles. “Yeah, it was cute.” He smiles. “I still remember when you came back with the bad batch, and showed off your new dad to everyone.” He snickers.

“I d-did?” Stutter asks.

“You were so proud.” Echo grins.

Crosshair smiles. "And I was proud of you, Stutter. Still am. Best damn sniper the 501st ever had." He puffs his chest out.

Tech offered a small bit of rice into Stutter's bowl. Enough that a small scoop of the stew would match it. "And It was when we began to...well start seeing more of each other." He smiled.

“I w-was?” Stutter asks. “Th-They said I wasn’t g-good enough.”

“Stut you were amazing.” Echo grins.

Stutter nods, before he looks to Tech. “Y-Yeah? That’s g-good.”

Tech smiled. "you were and no doubt still are incredible." He said reaching and squeezing his hand.

"hell you probably could beat me now that I only have one hand." Crosshair smiled. "You gave me a run for my credits even when I had two."

Hunter chuckled. "I'm sure once you're settled in you two can have your games again."

Stutter squeezes back, listening to them and nibbling on his food. He smiles a small smile.

“Yeah.” Echo grins. “You were a natural.”

“G-Games?” Stutter asks.

Crosshair smiled. "shooting competitions. Trick shots and competitions to see how many targets we could hit." He was proud as he sat down. "I think we will be pretty even again with me using my off hand." He flexed his remaining hand around his spoon.

"I will be score keeper, as usual." Tech said with a smile. "Crosshair always was far more critical of his points and often refused to give himself full points because they did not live up to his standard." He whispered loudly to Stutter. He knew it was because Crosshair wanted Stutter to feel accomplished in the games. A softy even when they were young.

Stutter hums. “I-I’m not bad. Don’t kn-know if I’m as good as you say I w-was but I’ll try.” He looks at Tech and nods. “Wh-What rules are there?”

Crosshair smiled. "Depends. Sometimes closest to bullseye, sometimes trick shots. All depends on the game."

Hunter chuckled. "Or how many bottle caps you can shoot off a bottle without breaking it."

Closed rp w/ @ct-7707-stutter with spoilers from bad batch finale.

Hunter held him close and rubbed his back. "You know it's not your fault. None of us knew."

CX-2, no...Tech he liked that name, frowned in confusion. "I do not understand."

Crosshair snorted and bumped shoulders with him. "we would call you Technically, or Technical, or Technological, any word that has Tech in it to annoy you. It was a game when we were cadets."

"cadets..." He frowned and looked at the floor. "I...do not remember that."

“I kn-know.” Stutter hiccups.

“You will remember soon.” Echo smiles. “I’m sure.” He hums softly. “We’re safe, everything is over. You have all the time in the world.”

Hunter kissed his forehead. "do you want to go back and talk to him? Or...do you want to go sit out in the garden?" He asked. It was hard for him to see his little brother in such a state.

"what...what am I to do? What do you want from me? Will you give me missions?" He asked, gripping the loose pants he was dressed in with his remaining hand.

“G-Garden please. I can’t y-yet, I’m sorry.” Stutter sniffles.

“We don’t want anything, we just want you home.” Echo sighs.

"you don't have anything to be sorry for. It's hard." Hunter admitted, standing and offering a hand to Stutter. "It will be hard for a while."

Tech frowned. 'that is not logical. Surely there must be tasks that you will need done. Things you do not wish to put your ... Your brothers at risk for."

"you are our brother, Tech." Crosshair said, a bit snappy at how dense he was being.

Stutter takes the hand, sniffling softly.

“You are not risking anything.” Echo agrees. “Maybe chores but that’s it.”

Hunter walked with him out to the garden and sat down by the flowers that they had planted for Tech in memorial. Phee had even helped pick them out.

Tech nodded, understanding but perhaps not agreeing with it all. "Of course. Will I receive my arm back?"

"when you're healed... And we finish making sure that there isn't any trackers in it."

Stutter sits down, pulling his knees to his chest and sniffling.

“And when we know it’s safe.” Echo says. “For both us and you. I also want to tweak the arm a little. Make it comfy.”

Hunter hugs him close, silent presence there for support. He carefully carded his fingers through Stutter's hair.

Tech frowned. "Then I shall begin the chores." He went to stand. "I am more than functional, there is no need for additional repairs."

Stutter sighs and snuggles in, closing his eyes.

“No, you rest.” Echo says softly.

Hunter hummed a soft song, knowing it helped all his brothers and Omega when their emotions were too much, still letting Stutter's hair.

"I am rested and perfectly functional enough to carry out the menial tasks you require." Tech said standing in front of Echo. "You are my master now."

Crosshair's eyes lit with rage and he stood. "You are not some droid or slave, Tech. We are no masters we are your brothers! You are our family! Hemlock is dead! I pelted him with enough blaster bolts that he would never get up and hurt anyone, any of us, again!"

Stutter closes his eyes and just rests, he loves Hunters humming.

“No. Tech no.” Echo says. “No one is your master except you.” He takes Techs hand. “You’re free.”

Tech frowned. "this...is illogical. I am property of the Empire. It is how I was programmed." He furrowed his brows, but something, deep inside his mind, thought erased and buried, was fighting again.

“You aren’t anymore.” Echo hugs him tight. “Never again.”

Crosshair joined Echo in hugging his brother. "Never again, Tech. You aren't property. The Empire abandoned you and we got you back."

Tech frowned and let them hug him, eyes watering. "I...don't understand."

Hunter laughed. "Be careful, Echo. Rex said he had a bad heart." He said as he walked back to the twins.

"of which I am already researching to see what it is we can help with that." Tech said with a smirk.

“Right right!” Echo sits up and hugs Fives.

“Of course you are, Technically.” Fives smirks back.

Hunter smiled, glad to see that Echo and his brother were together again. It reminded him of how torn Crosshair had been when they had believed Tech dead for several months.

"was there any doubt?" Tech asked. "but do come inside, we will be having dinner soon and I wouldn't want you to miss on Wrecker's cooking."

Fives grins and gets up. “Never. Ooh food!” He grins.

Echo laughs. “Let’s go.” He nuzzles his twin.

Fives grins and nuzzles back, he’s missed his twin so much. He’s so glad he’s alive.

Hunter smiles and walks in, seeing Omega and Rex at the table and several dishes waiting to be filled.

Hunter sat down, keeping a groan in as his knees complained, but smiled as Echo and Fives seated themselves. Fives next to him and Echo on the other side. Crosshair sat next to Omega across from Hunter and sandwiching Omega between himself and Rex. Tech took a seat at the end, allowing him to sit with his bad leg straight, next to Rex and Echo. While Wrecker proudly placed the large dish of seafood in the middle of the table before sitting on the other end.

Fives hums softly, leaning against Echo.

Echo kisses his head. “Glad you’re back.”

“Me too.” Fives hums.

"We all are." Crosshair said as he eagerly dished himself food.

"arent you supposed to let guests get their portions first?" Hunter chided his youngest brother.

"they aren't guests. They're family. So they have to fend for themselves." He smirked in return.

Post Series CX-2 Tech survives rp

CX-2 stood on shaking legs in the ruins of the Tantiss labs. The fires had been extinguished, but there was nothing but eerie silence in its wake.

He had never been active for this long, usually set back into stasis until his next mission was downloaded into his brain via his cybernetics. Now he had no mission queue, no weapons, and no master.

He limped toward the open air, helmet still in place to aid with the lingering poisons and smoke. He played the memories of the fight with the traitors in his mind, thoughts lingering again on the girl and her face, the Pirate and her voice.

Why did he know them?

Why did the blank space before his first mission with Dr. Hemlock hurt the longer he was without stasis?

Why did the word tech have such a visceral clench around his heart?

CT-7707 stands beside Hera, scratching at his arm with a shaking hand. “Th-They won’t like me. They’re rulebreakers, I’m not.”

"we'll get you back up to weight, and then some." Hunter said before smiling. "I did." He gently nuzzles into Fives's hand. "Always liked your goatee, but it didn't look right on me."

Omega chuckled. "Yeap. They're being love birds like Kannan and Hera."

“And then some?” Fives asks, before snorting, “sorry, goatee is mine.”

“Well let him, Echo will kidnap him later.” Rex hums.

Hunter blushed, self conscious as he touches his rather soft and squishy stomach, and his larger thighs. "Its...hard to stay battle trim here." He looked away, shame flashing in his eyes.

"absolutely...the goatee is yours, babe." Hunter pushed his self consciousness down and kissed Fives again.

"yep!" Omega shook her head. "Come on. They'll take forever." She rolled her eyes and led Rex to the pathway to their home.

Fives hums. “It’s not bad…” he says softly. “I just… know you liked how I looked before and I don’t… look like that anymore.” He kisses back.

Rex follows her. “Let’s go.”

"and do I look anything like I was in the war?" Hunter countered. "I've gotten fat and gray. I don't care what you look like Fives. As long as you are ALIVE and healthy and with me." He pleads, kissing him. "I love YOU."

Omega nods and chuckles. "Echo will be so happy."

“Not fat.” Fives murmurs but then he’s kissed, and kisses back. “I love you too.” He says softly.

“He will.” Rex grins.

"I'm wearing baggy clothes for a reason.' he said before he just sighed and held Fives. After a moment he realizes the silence and looks around.

"those bastards left us.." he said with a sulk. "our own daughter just leaving us to fend for ourselves! That is not how I raised her, darling I swear."

“Still not fat.” Fives hugs him. “You look handsome as ever.” He smiles, before blinking. “Daughter?” He looks excited.

Hunter smiled. "I adopted her, found her on Kamino just after the order went out. It didn't matter to me if she wasn't ours ours ... But I told her about you. I always wanted to have children with you." He blushed. "Who knows, maybe there's still a chance, I'm not that old."

Fives blushes. “I’d like kids.” He says softly. “But… Hunter I have a time limit, would it be selfish to adopt a kid?” He wants to so badly.

Hunter holds his hand, smiling. "No. We are all on borrowed time. I want to have kids with you, however long we have left together." He led Fives slowly through the sea cave, and up the ramp they had built to make it easier to get to Pabu.

Fives follows Hunter. “Then let’s.” He looks around. “This is nice, pretty too.” He says softly. “Much nicer than where the rebellion was based.”

Hunter smiled. "Let's..." He beamed, heart brightening.

"you haven't even seen a quarter of the island. Believe me, this place is beautiful." He smiled and held Fives close, looking up as Moon-Yos peeked out at them.

Fives grins. “How do we adopt?” He then hums. “Think I’ll like it here.” He lays his head on Hunters gently.

"there's a few steps, mostly paperwork but, there's a lot of refugees here, and kids who lost their families. Shep will help us get together with some kids, Phee will help to match us. You'll like them. Phee reminds me a bit of you." Hunter smiled.

"you'll love it here " he smiled and breathed in slowly, taking in the scent that was unmistakably Fives. "Come on the house is just up here".

“Sounds good.” Fives hums softly, squeezing Hunters hand. “Like me?” He chuckles, looking for the house. “I actually… finally found out what’s up with me. Why I’ve always been different. I have ADHD.”

"Adventurous, smart, funny." Hunter described Fives more than Phee. He led him to a house that was fairly large, as it had room for all six members of the Batch with their own rooms, along with any guests.

"I...that makes sense. We found out that Tech is on the spectrum some years back when he was having a really bad time mentally. He...was held captive by the empire after we thought he died. Thankfully we were able to find him and bring him home."

Fives looks at the house and smiles, before looking at Hunter. “What’s that? Fuck I’m glad you brought him back.”

“FIVES!!!”

Fives gasps as he’s instantly tackled by Echo.

Hunter stepped aside from Fives as Echo came rushing out. He smiled and chuckled. "I'll tell you once your twin is done hugging you."

Tech walked out, limping only lightly and leaning on his cane. "There is a storm coming in, I would suggest that Omega and Rex stay the night."
