Crosshair - Blog Posts
--TBB Season 2 Spoilers--
Quick rough (bad) sketch so I can finally focus on other things...
(╥_╥)
little man took big fall
Some Bad Batch things :)
Stills and closeups under the cut, including the beard & glass Jeff Goldblum look 😏
I went to galaxycon last sunday for my birthday and got some stuff!!!
a crosshair helmet, several funko pops (couldn't find crosshair), and an insane amount of lego minifigs (including cody and crosshair)!!! I also got a lightsaber (!!!!), but I don't have a picture of that right now and I'm too lazy to get one
anyone ask for crosshair with wings?
he's missing his right hand in the bottom right corner because I wanted to be canon accurate. no other reason....
(close-ups under the cut)
Something for the Tech fans (including me. I am a Tech fan)
Okay, so I know that the ship I write for isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But there are some scenes that don’t involve the ship that I’m really proud of and I think would appeal to a wider audience. So I’m going to start posting scenes that I really like with enough context for things to make sense.
For my regular followers and readers, this will be things that you’ve seen before.
Today’s sample!
Tech has a breakdown
The context:
In a world where Order 66 kind of happens, but Anakin doesn’t turn and starts an early rebellion with the clones, Omega is kidnapped by bounty hunters sent by the Empire in order to win Nala Se’s cooperation. The Bad Batch works with Anakin’s rebellion in the hopes of finding some clue of her whereabouts. They’ve found the bounty hunters who took Omega: Taja and Admani Desai, Togruta siblings who were lied to by Nala Se and have agreed to help the Batch find Omega. Tech especially has taken this badly, spending weeks pushing himself to his limit trying to crack the deeper Imperial codes in order to find Omega. Taja has formed a connection with Tech as they’ve worked together, empathizing with him as she has lost siblings as well. Crosshair has also never left the Batch.
That should be everything! I hope you enjoy!
Tech stared at the information on his datapad. He did not understand it. He needed to understand it. He tightened his grip on the datapad and tried to focus on each character one at a time.
It did not help that he could hear the others talk quietly on the other end of the ship. He would not be here if Hunter had not forbidden him from finding somewhere he could do his work in peace.
It took far too long for him to realize that the pad was telling him his latest attempt at cracking the Imperial's secrets was unsuccessful.
Tech swore.
Frustration and anger like he had rarely felt before consumed his chest. What was wrong with him? Why couldn't he do this simple kriffing thing?
"Tech."
The rage he felt at himself redirected at the interruption.
"What is it?" Tech snapped.
"You need to take a break." Hunter said.
He and Wrecker had approached Tech.
"No." Tech said. "What I need is to succeed. I need to find a way to bypass their security."
Burning tears sprang to his eyes. He furiously dug the heel of his palm under his goggles to press them away.
"It needs to work." He mumbled. "I need it to work."
"Give me your data pad." Hunter said.
Tech pulled away from him.
"No." He said. "I can continue. I am fine."
"You're not." Hunter said. "You haven't slept or eaten in a rotation and you've barely gone to the fresher. Give me the data pad. That's an order."
Tech pulled it away from him.
“Come on, Tech.” Wrecker said, reaching for the pad. “Don’t-”
“If you touch this, I will destroy Lula.” Tech said. “If you cared for Omega a fraction of how you dote on that idiotic toy, we would not have lost her!”
Wrecker drew back as if punched. Shame mingled with Tech’s anger and frustration as he saw the wounded look in Wrecker’s eyes. Crosshair, Hunter, and Echo were staring at him. He could feel their disapproval. Crosshair opened his mouth and Tech knew he could not hear the words his brother would throw at him.
Tech tucked his datapad to his chest and fled.
The sunlight of Yavin IV blinded him momentarily. He hurried across the landing area and to the main temple. Surely there would be somewhere he could hide from his brothers' anger and censure.
He found himself in a cold, dark stone room. There was nothing in it save a few containers of spare equipment. Good. He could be alone here.
Tech held out his datapad with trembling hands. He still felt a pang when he saw the negative result there. He took a deep breath. He could do this. He had to.
The next six attempts were failures.
He was a failure.
Tech hurled the datapad at the wall. The crunch of the screen breaking made no dent in his miasma of emotions.
It wasn't working and he had hurt Wrecker and Omega was still out of reach-
The words ran over and over in his head, interrupted only by thoughts of worthless and failure.
Tech fell to his knees and curled in on himself. Shameful tears stung his eyes. For the first time since Omega was taken, for the first time since he was a child, Tech cried. He dug his fingernails into his arms as he sobbed. The pain was welcome.
The door opened and Tech cringed away from the light. There was no one that he wished to be the one to find him. The regs would be cruel and even worse, his brothers would attempt to help him.
He waited for the questions, the demands.
What are you doing?
Why are you in here?
Are you crying?
Come out of there.
None came. The door closed again, leaving Tech in the soothing darkness. There was no silhouette joining him in the room when he looked up.
Tech curled up again on the floor, trying to keep his mind away from what had pushed him to this state. He let it go blank, and the world seemed to disappear from around him.
Voices jolted Tech back to reality. He sat up, unsure of where he was. To his surprise, a blanket fell off of his shoulders. He looked around and slowly the memory of his breakdown came back to him.
But then- where did the blanket come from? If his brothers had found him, they would have taken him back to the Marauder. Tech became more confused as he picked up a ration bar and a canteen that had not been there before. He would have thought it was Omega if she were not gone. It was something she would do.
The voices outside sounded again and this time Tech could distinguish the words.
"Ma'am, I need you to stand aside now."
That was a trooper's voice.
"I'm under orders from Clone Force 99." A familiar, melodic voice said. "No one is to enter this room."
Taja?
Tech got to his feet. He hesitated, and then picked up his broken data pad from the floor.
"Uh huh." The trooper said. "Why don't I just comm Sergeant Hunter and see if that's true."
"That won't be necessary." Tech said, opening the door.
His ears had not deceived him. It was Taja standing as if on guard duty outside the closet door.
"She was doing me a favor. I needed some quiet for my research." Tech was surprised with how steady his voice was.
The clone trooper looked between the two of them before shrugging and moving on.
Tech wanted to speak the moment the guard was out of earshot, but found himself unable. The shame of the moment seemed to seep in. She had seen him at his lowest. Words seemed inconsequential in the wake of it.
The long moments dragged before he finally managed to speak.
"How did you know?" He asked.
He did not understand. She should have left him alone. Tech was sure that most of the individuals at the base would have done so, or, if they cared to, have gotten his brothers.
Taja's pale green eyes met his and he averted his gaze.
"My sister would have similar episodes." She said. "I assumed you did not need more stimulation.
Tech didn't know quite how to reply. He merely pressed his broken datapad to his chest.
"Thank you." He finally mumbled.
"I am glad to help." Taja replied.
Tech cleared his throat.
"I was unaware you and your brother had returned." He said.
Taja nodded.
"We have been in contact with some of the leaders of the Rebellion, concerning the increasing number of slavers in the galaxy." She said. "We have come to discuss the possibility of raiding a slave camp near here."
"And by some of the leaders, you mean General Skywalker." Tech said.
Taja smiled.
"Too clever by half." She said.
For the first time since Omega was taken, Tech felt a faint urge to smile.
That urge fled when a loud voice cracked through the air.
"Tech!"
Wrecker was barreling towards them. Taja took a step back as he drew near. He skidded to a stop in front of them, looking between them with his brow creased with worry. He lifted his hands, as if he wanted to grab Tech in a hug, which he probably did. Tech was glad that he abstained.
"You okay?" Wrecker asked. "It's been hours and we couldn't find you."
Tech felt some of his guilt return at Wrecker's concerned tone.
"I apologize." He muttered. "I did not intend-"
"It’s okay!" Wrecker said quickly. "I’m not mad, you know. Just worried."
He paused.
"We're all worried, Tech."
Tech looked down at the ground. His wretchedness that he had forgotten for a moment returned in full force.
"I do not understand." He finally said. "Omega is gone. How can you stand not doing anything?"
Wrecker looked again as if Tech had hit him and more guilt piled onto Tech.
"Cause I can't do anything." Wrecker said. He sounded close to tears. "I'm not smart like you. If I could help Omega by blowin' things up, or taking apart a bomb, or punching something, I would. But I can't."
"Then you understand that my work is of the utmost importance." Tech said. "I am the only one who can find her."
"Maybe." Wrecker said. "The Rebellion still might find somethin' out. But Tech, what would Omega say if she saw you doing this yourself?"
Tech knew exactly how she would react. Her eyes would go wide. He could hear her voice.
"Tech!" She would say.
And it would be all she needed to say.
"I miss her." Tech said.
"Me too." Wrecker said.
Tech became aware of Taja looking between them.
"If I may," She said. "I understand what you are going through. You hurt, you are angry. You feel that the hole in your heart will never be filled."
Tech blinked at her astute description of how he was feeling. Taja looked at him.
"It will not be this painful forever." She said. "But regardless, your sister is alive. There is hope."
"Yeah!" Wrecker said. "We're gonna find her and we're gonna bring her home, okay?"
Tech looked between Taja and Wrecker. For once, he felt no urge to contradict Wrecker or point out the probability.
"Okay." He said.
"I must go." Taja said. "Admani and I have our meeting."
Tech nodded to her. She smiled back. He liked it when she smiled.
"So, is she your girlfriend?" Wrecker whispered as Taja disappeared around a corner.
Tech frowned.
"That is not the nature of our relationship." He said.
Wrecker grinned in a way that Tech was not fond of.
"Uh huh." Wrecker said.
Tech shook his head.
Romance and partners were never something that Tech had considered. They were clones bred to fight a war. The things that other beings considered natural were not options for them. Even now, Tech had far more pressing matters than whether or not he had a partner. It was even difficult for him to conceptualize.
Though, when it came to potential mates, he could do far worse. She was pleasing to the eye, even with her disfigurement. Perhaps more so because of it. She stood with pride, as if challenging others to mention it.
He found her coloring aesthetically pleasing and her eyes striking. She was intelligent, worked well with him, and also seemed to understand how Tech's mind worked. And she cared about him, for whatever reason.
No, he doubted he could do better when it came to a possible partner.
He doubted she felt the same way. It was one thing to help him with his troubles and to be a good mission partner. It was quite another to consider Tech in a romantic light. Tech had no data on how partners he found attractive reacted to him. But he had a feeling that any testing would not end with the results he wanted.
Who will be Hermes???

@orangez3st @crosshairs-dumb-pimp-gf @alor-ika @precioustech
Spread the word! Tag as many as you can! This will end in 24 hours!🗣️🗣️
Guys I’m gonna make an Epic musical au on Star Wars and I’ll be making you guys guess who will be which character before i reveal (make it like a game hehe) 😋
This was a little thought I had in my head for weeks so I said, “screw it ima do this since au’s are fun!”
But it’s also a ship between my oc and hunter, so I’ll be doing the art for last. As for art I’ll be making on for each song with the characters!
First will be Poesiden! But who will take the role of God of the seas?
Guys i dont have a lot of energy to finish chapter one so im just cutting it to 2 parts, the second will be in chapter 2 and will be in the episode when the Tsunami happened on Pabu. The OCs will be shown in future chapters but will be shown in art for now, and maybe in one-shots that might and might not be pat of Free Bird canon.
Order 66 ended Squad 99...
After counting the board there are 55 tally marks:successful missions. Add 11 more and that is a total of 66 tallies...
When the Batch return to their sunken barracks on Kamino for whatever reason there are still only 55 tallies. We clearly witnessed Wrecker marking the last 11 in the first episode BUT WHATEVER.
That last mission together is where everything fell apart. The Jedi Order, the GAR, and The Bad Batch. Order 66 ended the Jedi Order, as it ended Clone Force 99.
I NEED OMEGA & CROSS INTERACTIONS lol! Omega & Grogu are my favorite characters of all time! Cross is my favorite sibling for Omega. I NEED MORE OF THEM OF ANYTHING! Can’t find many fanfics WITHOUT adding random OC/Reader Insert/ROMANTIC relationships (prob picky, with my childhood trauma I want is to find ones WITHOUT a lot of those/specifically romantic ones with main batchers. I FEEL RUDE). Home bound disabled vet with chronic illnesses, ALL of your guy’s fics/pics/etc MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!
He may not actually want it...but he’s getting one in Season 3.
@alligatorpie1945
I NEED MORE OMEGA & CROSSHAIR (fave sibling duo!!! But I can hardly find ANYTHING with the 2 of them in it :(:(:(!!! BUT I CANT OR MIGHT NOT EVER FIND ANYTHING EVER WITH GROGU & OMEGA:… Omega & Grogu are my fave characters of ALL TIME!!!!) NOT JUST PICS/FANFICS LOL ;)
Not sure if I will ever find the last 2 (fave characters, but MAYBE Omega & Crosshair, or with ALL OF THE BATCH WITH CROSS!!!). Omg! I just thought that my other VERY close fave character is FIVES! EH :( Don’t think I will find anything with Fives & Omega either lol :(
Oh & btw… I’ve BOUGHT ALMOST EVERY PRINT OF HERS ON ETSY (That I can afford lol). She’s INCREDIBLY TALENTED & kind whenever I’ve talked to her (social media kind of scares me after FB & I was being severely bullied by multiple family & “friends” who told me multiple times to finally just kill myself after my health got worse including 2nd type of Epilepsy & at 35 can’t work anymore, partly bc of my permanent military injuries).
I’m SO obsessed with The Bad Batch/Omega (as I call it lol! & if with only 1 brother fave is Cross) & Grogu. Also, Hawaii/learning Hawaiian (Never been :(, top on my bucket list! Might never get there due to my MANY chronic illnesses, bc being a 35 yr old disabled female vet DOES make travel HARD lol & I live in WI :( lol ), music (esp like Linkin Park & Bring Me The Horizon, etc bc mental health or similar lyrics being dominant help!), nature, faith, umm not sure if I’m ALLOWED on here to say OR if anyone of you would be ANGRY OR OR UNEASY WITH THIS IM SO SO SO SORRY… but cannabis (helps my mental and physical health), etc.
I’m REALLY SORRY for bothering you all & going on (Can you tell I don’t talk to people much?! lol!) ! I NEED: fanfics, pics, products etc: OMEGA & CROSSHAIR, OMEGA & GROGU (eh probably not lol) OMEGA & FIVES (lol again probably not)
Here is the first of a little "Day in the Life" series I will be doing off and on. You can vote on what the next one will be here.
This takes place a little after the Fall of Kamino, her uniform from Kamino had gotten completely destroyed over their various adventures, and they had to get her some new clothes. Temporally she had to wear one of Hunter's civilian shirts until they got something that fit her.
I feel like Wrecker would basically be the bored sentient shopping cart, holding all their stuff. Hunter is the one to actual talk with the shopkeepers and barter for prices and what not. Tech and Echo are actually helping Omega find decent functional clothes that fit her.
I know we dont have time in the actual series for all the background, mundane/nice moments this space family deserves, but god damnit I will get it.
I have a weird obsession with Omega & Crosshair (fave sibling duo in TBB). I FEEL Cross & Omega have a VERY strong bond (First shown in S1E1). He just doesn’t know it YET lol! ALWAYS been my prayer that they will be reunited & I think he will WANT to protect her from his love for her!
I’m still TERRIFIED what will happen to her! Hunter is her FATHER, BUT Cross is also meant to be her protector!
I AM LEARNING HAWAIIAN TOO (day 466 or 467 straight on DUOLINGO lol)…. It’s number one on my bucket list BUT alas I doubt I will due to my military injuries and chronic illnesses lol. BUT THIS IS AMAZING never ever thought I would EVER FIND ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!!
Can anyone please please make a picture of this in ANY WAY AT ALL????? If there is ANYTHING anyone knows about that’s like this (Omega SPECIFICALLY like this please tag me :):):)!)
Sins of the Past: Ohana Means Family

FF.net
They had been warned that this could happen. Obi-Wan had told them that having been trapped in that Hell of a house all her life, Omega hadn't had the chance to be exposed to all those childhood germs other kids did, leaving her more susceptible to them now. And a month after starting school, it finally happened.
Omega had woken up on Monday morning with the worst cold Crosshair had ever witnessed. Coughs had racked her shivering body that was half delirious with fever.
The boys had preciously decided on a rota to take care of Omega on sick days, and on Friday it was finally Crosshair's turn.
Thankfully her fever had broken by now but she was still bunged up with snot, so Hunter had decided to keep her off the rest of the week, hoping that she would be fighting fit by Monday.
So all Crosshair had to do was keep an eye on her.
Which was kind of the problem.
He had managed to get over most of his ill placed jealously after his talk with Hunter, but unfortunately Crosshair was well aware that trauma didn't disappear that easily.
There was no denying that any of them were Jango's offspring, with his apparent super spreader genes. But where the rest of their siblings were all blunt corners, he and Omega were sharp edges with their pointed features and lighter hair that was unmistakably the mark of Nala Se.
And Crosshair hated it. He hated it so much he once smashed the mirror in the bathroom which Ninety-Nine never replaced. He could deal with his own appearance. Shaving his hair till it went grey and getting a tattoo across his face helped.
But then Omega came into their lives. And whilst Crosshair would be eternally grateful that she never had to step foot in their sorry excuse for a mother's home again, sometimes just being around her hurt.
To see that same face that tortured him his whole life in the innocent one of a little girl felt like a cruel joke that the universe was playing to specifically spite him.
He had resorted to avoiding her which wasn't easy in a small house packed with six people. However he figured it was the better option than accidently snapping at her with something he knew that he would immediately regret. He was pretty sure Hunter at least had noticed although his older brother hadn't mentioned anything about it, yet. He knew it was something he'd have to confront eventually.
He just didn't think that day would be today.
Crosshair sat on the sofa, whilst Omega was bundled up on the other, Gonky curled up on one side of her and a stack of tissue boxes on the other, as she watched TV. Having missed out on the past decade of pop culture, Hunter was trying to rectify that, starting with the Disney classics after Omega had asked what a Disney Princess was when one of her classmates had made fun of her for not knowing. They were currently up to Lilo and Stitch. Whilst Crosshair was much more of a Ghibli fan, he didn't mind the colourful cartoon musicals, not that he would ever admit it.
He kept one eye on Omega whilst scrolling through his phone. Replying to the texts Hunter sent about every five minutes reassuring him that yes their sister was indeed still alive and ignoring the messages from his asshole of a boss Rampart who was still giving him shit about taking a day off even though Aayla had offered to cover some of his sessions for him.
The movie had barely finished playing when Omega burst into tears.
Shit, Crosshair thought, rushing over to the girl.
"Are you hurt? What's wrong?" He asked. Hunter was going to kill him if anything happened to her on his watch.
"Sh-She... she's just like me!" Omega managed choke through her sobs.
"What do you mean?" He asked, not understanding where this conversation was going.
Omega pointed at the screen where the characters were currently visiting a montage of Elvis exhibits as the credits rolled.
"Lilo! She's Polynesian! She is raised by her siblings! She's just like me!"
That was when Crosshair realised she wasn't crying because she was hurt. Happiness might not be the correct to describe word it either. It was hard to put into words the freeing ideal of being known.
And God had Crosshair realised just how badly he'd fucked up.
Growing up, if he'd seen a movie like that with someone like him in it. Maybe he would've been able to recognise himself in someone else instead of feeling isolated in a body that nobody else could understand.
He hadn't even realised he'd pulled Omega into a hug until Gonky tried to jump between them to get in on the action.
Omega's sobs subsided into giggles as Gonky's tongue locked away her tears, tickling her face.
"Let her go you big lump." Crosshair told the husky, nudging him back to the girl's side. Since he was now over here anyway, Crosshair figured he might as well stay and settled into Omega's over side. He picked up the nearby remote.
"It might be garbage, a lot of the Disney sequels are but they made a second film if you want to watch that?"
Omega nodded eagerly, curling against his shoulder, as though it was the most natural thing in the world, even though it was the first time she had ever done it before.
To distract himself from getting teary eyed as well, Crosshair pressed play.
I love this! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE DO A PIC, FANFIC OR ANYTHING SIMILAR?!? There’s too many Fanfics that have romantic characters or whatever (I’m sorry if that’s rude). I just prefer non romantic relationship dynamics lol. I’m sorry, I went OVER BOARD on tags (didn’t mean to lol!), had a seizure so brain is fuzzy today. I SHOULD be doing my Hawaiian language lesson for today now on DUOLINGO INSTEAD of obsessing over OMEGA (only bc she’s much harder to find lol) and/or ALWAYS TRY to find ANYTHING AT ALL that is OMEGA & CROSSHAIR; OMEGA & GROGU lol! Omega & Cross are fave sibling duo; Omega & Grogu are my all time fave characters lol!!!!
Hemlock: We have someone you might like to see. *brings Omega*
Crosshair: *pulling Omega towards him* Hurt her and I’ll kill you.
Almost to Day: 460 days STRAIGHT on DUOLINGO learning Hawaiian!!!! Learning Hawaiian (lighthouses lol go with this too. HOPEFULLY one day I will step foot on one of the islands lol even if travel is awful for me physically and mentally lol), music (but of two of my favorite bands I won’t ever see is Linkin Park, not without Chester Bennington! BUT I still have a CHANCE to see Bring Me The Horizon as long as Oli Sykes is there lol!) and OF COURSE my Grogu and Omega from SW lol!!!! Two favorite characters of ALL time! But I do NEED Omega together with Crosshair as he is my FAVORITE sibling for Omega! For some reason I have a obsession with the two of them lol. To me it immediately started in S1E1, that MADE me feel like they have a very strong bond that we have been deprived of so far!
I really really wish I could find ANYTHING with Omega and Crosshair OR Grogu and Omega OR either of these duo’s BUT WITH ANYTHING AT ALL HAWAIIAN lol
I KNOW THAT HAWAIIAN ANYTHING Omega AND Cross, Omega AND Grogu, or really ANYTHING Omega will more an likely NEVER EVER HAPPEN!!!! (I do have a couple things that are Grogu and Hawaiian related lol but Omega seems to NOT BE LIKED as much, not as many products to be found anywhere:(… pics, Fanfictions (Cross and Omega specifically or Omega lol), PICTURES, FANFICTIONS, pjs, hair, jewelry, clothing, office, etc lol
IM SO SO SORRY FOR BOTHERING ANYONE OF YOU! I had a seizure (I THINK it was my more severe type, have two types of Epilepsy, so thinking and words are difficult! Chronic illness disabled veteran… I lost most my friends and even family due to my mental and physical pain/issues from both childhood and the military, etc… so I’m QUITE sorry again!).
I hope this is okay to ask for advice here :). I can’t seem to find a lot products (minus stuff like: shirts, funko, black series etc), pictures, Fanfictions, etc lol with Omega; hardly ANYTHING with Omega & Crosshair; but NOTHING at all with Omega & Grogu together!
My favorite characters of all time are Omega & Grogu in ANY fandom! I have this weird obsession with Omega & Crosshair as my favorite sibling duo in TBB. I have a fanfiction character with the name Crossa in it (stupid lol). I FEEL Cross & Omega have a very strong bond (shown in S1E1) & ALWAYS been my prayer that they will be reunited (which I believe even more now!). I’m still so incredibly terrified what will happen to her, but he WILL save her! Hunter is her FATHER, but Cross is meant to be her protector too! Wish I could find “Crossa” or her & Grogu ANYTHING!
LOVE THIS!
Sometimes a family is a clone girl and her 5 dads: a knife-wielding tracker who looks like he can kill you (but probably won’t), a military droid cosplayer, a tech-savvy computer whiz, a bodybuilder who’s never skipped leg day, and a sharpshooter who is most likely to sell you to Satan for one corn chip.
Omg this is beautiful but also so sad, the ending of season one was heart wrenching!
good to have you back, brother
Lisasstars I LOVE THIS! I LOVE Crosshair and Omega so much!!! Wish I could find more of them together :(.
Crosshair’s face. ♥️
He looks so young and innocent. 🥺
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH SO FAR!!!! I need A LOT of Crosshair and Omega interactions in this pretty pretty please!!!! You are the best for tagging me too!!! READ HER WORK ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A CROSSHAIR AND OMEGA FAN TOO!!!! I’m also super happy it’s not a OC or OC romantic interest fic too…those make me not want to read as much…takes away from their awesome and fantastic dynamic!
Broken: Prologue
Read on Ao3
Chapter 1
A/N: Broken is a TBB Modern AU story I've come up with. Big kudos and shoutout goes to @chaoticvampirejedi for all the encouragement she's given me to work on this, and all the excitement she's showed whenever I told her about it. I hope this lives up to your expectations, Vamp!
If you want to be tagged when I post more of this, sign up here (and let me know if this link doesn't work).
So this is a Crosshair x OC story, and this all stemmed from a thought I had about what the boys would do for a living if they were in the modern world. I hope you all enjoy this!

“You ready to go, Sarge?” A baby-faced private asked as he poked his head in Hunter’s tent.
“Yeah, yeah, trooper. I’ll be out in 5,” Hunter answered, tucking his last belonging in his bag. The soldier nodded before ducking out.
“You better hurry up, Sergeant,” Crosshair drawled from where he sat on Hunter’s cot, a toothpick rolling around between his teeth. “Sounds like the kid’s getting impatient.”
Hunter glanced at his brother over his shoulder. “Watch the tone, Cross, or I’m liable to report you for giving attitude to your superior,” he said with a smirk.
Crosshair shrugged, mischief playing in his dark eyes. “A report like that wouldn’t mean much coming from someone who’s not my superior officer anymore…” He pulled out his toothpick and flicked it at Hunter. “Now would it?”
A chuckle escaped the sergeant. He shook his head, muttering, “Oh, Cross, I’m gonna miss you.” He slung his bag over his shoulder as the two of them sauntered outside. They were greeted by the baking Afghani sun and a soft breeze that blew dust around their ankles.
“Don’t worry. You’ll have the pleasure of my company again in two weeks.”
Hunter rolled his eyes. “I can hardly wait.”
Ahead of them, the private was waiting in a jeep, and an older soldier wearing a captain’s insignia leaned against the vehicle. “You all set, Sergeant?” the captain asked.
Hunter nodded. “Yes, sir, Captain Howzer.” He tossed his bag in the back of the jeep. “Ready and itching to get home.”
Howzer chuckled. “I don’t blame you. Army life gets a little tiring after a while, doesn’t it?”
“Actually, sir, I’m just excited to see my kid sister. There ARE some things I’ll miss about the army.”
“Well, the army’ll miss you, Hunter, take my word for it.” Howzer held out his hand, which Hunter heartily shook. “You’re a good soldier and you and your boys have been very successful. If you ever decide to sign on again, I’d be honored to fight by your side.”
“Thank you, Captain.” Hunter offered him a friendly smile. “I appreciate all you’ve done for me and my squad. And if I may speak freely, I feel better knowing they’re going to your command.”
“I’ll do my best by ‘em, Hunter. I promise.”
The men saluted each other. In the jeep, the private asked, “Well, Sarge? To the airfield?”
“One sec, kid.” Hunter turned to Crosshair. “Now, Cross, don’t cause any trouble for the captain, ‘kay? You’re only here till the end of the month, so go easy on him.”
A playful, crooked grin flashed across the sniper's face. “You know I don’t make promises I can’t keep.” He saluted his sergeant, but Hunter just rolled his eyes and pulled him in for a hug. Considering the circumstances, Cross decided not to protest the gesture. He squeezed his brother tight, and they patted each other on the back.
“I’ll miss you, Cross,” Hunter whispered.
Crosshair sighed. “I’ll miss you, too, Hunter.”
Hunter pulled away, holding him at arms’ length. “And seriously, try to stay out of trouble.”
“I will, Hunter. Don’t worry.”
One more hug and Hunter hopped in the jeep.
“Hey, Hunt?” Crosshair called over the start of the engine.
“Yeah?”
“Tell the others ‘hi’ for me, will ya?”
“You got it.”
“And…” His gaze fell to the ground before he lifted it back to Hunter. “Give Omega a hug for me… Please.”
A look of shock was quickly replaced by one of the softest smiles Crosshair had ever seen on his brother’s tattooed face. “I will, Cross. But I’d still better see YOU give her a hug when you join us, okay?”
“Don’t worry. Tell her I’ll give her one personally in two weeks.”
Hunter nodded as the jeep moved forward. “I will, brother. See ya soon!” He waved over his shoulder, the vehicle kicking up a trail of dust as it drove off towards the airfield.
Cross waved until the jeep disappeared over the crest of a hill. Howzer rested a hand on his shoulder. “You alright, Crosshair?”
The sniper nodded, pulling a toothpick out of his pocket and sticking it between his teeth. “Yes, sir. I’m alright.”
Only two more weeks…

Little tbb fanfic (Crosshair, Hunter, Omega)
"I don't know what you see in her."
Crosshair looks at the now sleeping Omega, curled under the blanket Hunter gave her, peacefully just breathing in and out. A feeling of warmth grows in Hunter, and he's tempted to smile, but he doesn't.
"Have you never felt the urge to protect someone?"
"I've felt the urge to protect you", said Crosshair, bitter, staring at his brother, curious for his reaction.
Hunter stares back. Does he really think I don't love him anymore? Words flood his head, words he prepared and thought of in endless sleepless nights on their ship, thinking about Crosshair, about Omega, about their future. Hunter never wanted Crosshair to leave. Just how can he convince him to see it through his eyes?
"Crosshair", began Hunter. "There is nothing I wouldn't do in order to protect you. But there is not just you around. I have to think for everyone."
"And you choose to do the most dangerous thing for all of you. To leave Camino and to disobey the order. You're all just prey now." Crosshair take a step in Hunters direction, now just inches away from his brothers face, but Hunter doesn't step back. "If you really wanted to protect everyone, you would have stayed, and not made you criminals."
"They were after Omega, Crosshair. They brainwashed us. When the chip influenced Wrecker, he almost killed us. How can you obey a system that just wants to control everyone?" He stops. Another thought comes into his mind. "If you would have come with us, you would know what I mean."
"I highly doubt that."
"What is life for you, Crosshair? Is it just being a soldier? Is it just obedience and betting on the faster horse?"
Crosshair lowers his eyes. Pain is all over his face. Hunter can see it.
"You were my life", Crosshair whispered.
Hunter relaxes. This is the Crosshair he knows. He knows he's brother since they were children. Crosshair always was the tough, the cold one, but deep inside, Hunter knows that he carries a heavy burden. He need safety and stability and control more than every other soldier from his squad. Change is not for him, he's sensitive in a different way than Tech is, but he is sensitive to it.
Hunter was anxious about him from the point order 66 happened. Things changed, and Hunter knew that they had to change with them. But the decision to separate the two things in their life that were especially Crosshairs safe spot; the army and the squad - Hunter knew that would have consequences. He knew Crosshair would be a nervous wreck, that he would be rude and aggressive and hard to control because that's how nervosity shows in Crosshair.
But never would Hunter have thought that between those to things, the army and the squad, Crosshair would not choose the squad. He stayed with the army. The new army, the imperial army.
"If you would have come with us", Hunter says, "I would have done everything in my power to make sure you're okay, Crosshair. Because that's my job." He sighs. "But I can not help you if you keep running away."
"On Omega." Hunter steps forward and moves the blanket so it covers her entirely. She sighs cutely in her sleep. He finally smiles, but just shortly. "You know, Crosshair, I didn't replace you with her, even if it might feel like it."
"Then what. You didn't even knew her."
"She needed protection. So I took her with us. And I would have done the same with you, if you would have chosen to stay." He looks down on her. "She's full of love, you know? So thankful for every single little thing. And I think she showed me what life really is about, Crosshair." He looks up to make sure his brother looks him in the eyes.
"Love. Not the army. It's about the people you love, Crosshair. It's about protecting what you have. And if you love your ideals more than you loved us, than I'm okay with that. Then go and keep hunting us and obeying whatever the Empire wants you to do."
In a last attempt of getting close to his brother and fighting the urge to just pull him into his arms, Hunter lays a hand on Crosshairs shoulder. "But if you think that you can love us and even our sister, who loves you so unconditionally even though you can't do that back, then, please Crosshair, come back to us. I don't think there is even just one bit of something evil in your heart. I think it's just fear."
Crosshairs eyes search the ground. He can't look at Hunters face no more. And as his brother picks up the little blonde girl who shares his blood and sleeps so peacefully in his arms and slowly walks away, he doesn't even think of going after them or aiming his weapon at them, as he should do at this point.
Love?
And as Hunters words haunts his mind, another thought follows the odd one worded question.
What am I more afraid of? That the things will change in an inevitable way or that I will die alone?
And suddenly it comes to his mind that he would never be able to raise his weapon and shoot his brother. Not Hunter, not anyone else. Did he forget the relieve he felt when he knew that his mission was just to hunt Hunter down, not kill him?
What would he have done if his mission would have been exactly that?
Crosshair knows that he's standing somewhere dangerously in between the love for his brothers and his obedience to the army. He tries to balance the two things that his life was about and he will eventually fall into the abyss between both of it if he does not choose a side. And oh, he did not do that yet. He thought he did, he thought he chose the Empire, because Hunter choose Omega. But he didn't. Both if them didn't. Because for Hunter, Crosshair is now sure, this is not what it is about.
