Whumpril Day 28: "Let Me Know if You Need Anything." (Alt prompt 13)
Fandom: Star Wars The Bad Batch
Warnings: mentioned character death
Summary: After Tech's death Echo is trying to help the others how he can.
Death is hard to handle, especially when it's the first time you've lost someone. Echo knew it was going to be difficult getting the batch through Tech's death. They had grown up together. He remembers the pain he felt when he lost Cutup, Droidbait, and Hevy so he knows how they feel. Not only that but he's grieving as well.
Wrecker sat alone in his bunk and Hunter sat in the cockpit of the Marauder. Echo walked to talk to Hunter then to Wrecker to check on them.
"Hey Wreck" Echo started.
"Hey Echo" Wrecker spoke softly.
"How are you doing?"
"Fine." Wrecker made it hard to find a way to comfort him. He wouldn't talk about it. He wouldn't really do anything.
Unsure of what to do Echo slightly turned around, getting ready to leave the room. "Let me know if you need anything."
"I need Tech back."
Echo stopped. "I know. But we can't get him back Wrecker, that's not how death works unfortunately." He walked back inside the room and took a set next to his brother.
"I know that Echo."
"I know you know.".
"I need Omega and Cross back to; I need Hunter to calm down and breathe; I need to be able to help you all; I need to not feel this way."
'Well that's a lot to unpack' Echo thought. "We can get Omega and Crosshair back-"
"What if they're dead?" Wrecker interrupted.
"We wouldn't know until we find them."
"Hunter isn't going to calm down until we find them. What if they're gone? He'll never be okay."
"Well Omega's Hunter kid. I know she's our sister but that's his little girl. He'll be okay. If they are gone he'll learn to cope. It'll be okay. And Wrecker, you're helping in small ways but still helping. You need to take care of yourself too."
"Am I always gonna feel like this?"
'he went down the whole list.' Echo was glad it went that way, easier to sort out. "No, not always."
"Will I ever go back to normal?"
"No. There will always be something missing Wrecker. But you will learn to keep growing. You'll be okay."
"Okay."
"Do you need anything?" Echo looked over at Wrecker.
"Maybe a glass of water."

Spider-verse has taken over my life. I'm currently hyperfixated on it. I can't escape it and neither can my family. I love those characters with my whole heart. I'm going to be writing about them so get ready.
Codywan Week Day 2: Totioone Husbands
Summary: A day in the life of Codywan.
Notes: The Mando'a used: Ret' (see you/bye) and Cyare (beloved/loved)
Cody awoke to the sound of clinking cups and a plate being set on a wooden table. This was an everyday thing, and just like everyday he pretended to still be asleep.
Obi-wan walked over to the bed and gently shook Cody awake. He smiled and got up, "good morning cyare" he said. He placed a hand on the others face and kissed him.
"Good morning" Obi-wan repeated. He smiled softly, "I made breakfast."
"You always do" Cody chuckled. He stood up and walked over to the table they built with some wood they had found from an old carrier that had crashed in the sand.
Milk and eggs with some kind of bread were on the table. Obi-wan pulled the chair Cody would be sitting in, out and pushed it back in after he sat down.
They talked very little as they are but it was a conferable silence. Afterwards Obi-wan got ready for work and Cody prepared to go into town to meet with his employer for his next bounty. Neither were fond of Cody's job but he was good at it and they needed the credits.
"Ret' cyare" Obi-wan spoke. It always made Cody smile when he spoke Mando'a. It was a nice gesture, wanting to understand and use his language.
"See you when I get back." They kissed and went their separate ways for the day.
Cody would be back before Obi-wan. The mission he would be taking was set for the next morning. He didn't like being away for his Jedi for very long but he needed to be. It was nice to get off Tatooine sometimes.
However he did grab something from the market for Obi-wan. New boots. He hadn't gotten any sense the fall of the Republic eight years ago. His old ones were falling apart, being held together by some sticky stuff Owen had given him.
They were brown just like Obi-wan's old ones. The boots had a mid calf cut, real Jedi like. He grabbed the few sets of robes Obi-wan owned and sewed them up.
Obi-wan got home as Cody was cleaning his gun. He smiled and treated his 'husband'. "How was work?"
"It was okay. How was your day?" Obi-wan sat down at the table as Cody went to grab something to start dinner.
"It was alright. I got something for you." Cody pulled the boots from behind the bed. "I figured you'd like them. Try them on." He brought them over to the table.
Obi-wan smiled. "Thank you Cody." He put them on. "They fit well." He stood up and walked around a little. "That feels so much better." Hugging Cody tight he started to tickle him a little.
The clones laugh was so nice. Obi-wan barely ever heard it. They laughed as they fell onto the bed and laughed even harder when Obi-wan fell on to the floor.
Once their laughing fit was over Obi-wan gave Cody a long kiss and walked to the kitchen to start something for dinner.
The clone followed the other to the kitchen and stayed with him as he made dinner. The sunset brought brilliant colors into the room. Maybe this wasn't the worst way to live.

Codywan Week Day 1: Cody With a Lightsaber
Summary: Cody learns to use Obi-wan's lightsaber.
Warning: slight violence?
Note: Cyare: Mando'a for beloved/loved
A lightsaber is a Jedi's life. The crystal carefully calls to you, knowing you'll use its power for good. Who decided to trust it with was your decision.
Obi-wan carefully placed his in Cody's callused hands, "can you take care of this for me? I can't take it on my mission."
"Wouldn't you rather have Anakin hold on to it?" Cody was unsure. He knew how much lightsabers meant to the jedi. Was he really the one who should be the one to watch over it?
"No, I'm sure. It wasn't a hard decision. I'll be back in a few days." He smiled, hoping Cody understood how much this meant.
"Okay. It'll be here when you arrive." Cody hooked it to his belt in the pace he had hallowed out for it. Obi-wan seemed careless with his saber sometimes. Cody ended up holding on to it so he carved a place for it in his armor, altering his most personal possession.
After Obi-wan got back he taught him how to use the lightsaber. Turning it on and off, hold it correctly, and how to fight and protect. Cody picked it up quickly, the Jedi even joked that Cody was force sensitive. He even found a training saber for the commander when they sparred.
As time passed, Cody got better at using it. He no longer feared getting hit by the blade, knowing he wouldn't because of his skill. As he got better the general got closer to him. He stood behind him, wrapping his hands around Cody's body to guide him.
Obi-wan was so warm and inviting. He was patient and passionate. The two found themselves getting to close for the code to like. Lightsabers weren't the only thing to interlock. Hands and lips touched each other gently.
So much was going on. Fire rose on the battlefield and Cody watched Obi-wan. The Jedi fought with the sith apprentice Asajj Ventress. He was losing.
Not long after the sith struck him down. Cody didn't hesitate. He shot at her and rushed to his general's side. Grabbing Obi-wan's lightsaber and turned it on.
The memories of learning to use the saber filled his head as well as the fondness of the time they spent together. Cody looked down at Obi-wan, knowing he held his life in his hands. He would be damned if he would let his cyare's faith be placed wrong.
Ventress was entertained. "You're going to fight me?"
Cody didn't answer. Instead he attacked. Intrigued Ventress held off killing him. When she got bored she would just cut his head off and be done with it.
Obi-wan awoke to lightsabers classing. He attempted to get off the ground. Failing the first time he looked up to see Cody fighting his enemy. He was in awe of his commander.
However he knew the sith was humoring him. Obi-wan had to get up. It scared him to think what may happen if he didn't.
The Jedi pulled himself to his feet, ready to do what was necessary to pull this battle out of the separatist hands. "Cody" he started.
The clone turned his head for just a moment. "Hey general."
"Can I have my saber please?" He joked.
"Of course sir." Cody smiled under his helmet and quickly, yet gently, handed Obi-wan back his saber. He grabbed his gun and stayed nearby.
The battle was just barely a Republic win. Cody helped the injured where he could and when he was no longer of any use went to find Obi-wan.
"Thank you." Obi-wan smiled upon seeing Cody come to his side.
"I'm just glad you're alright. Thank you for trusting me with your life."
"Thank you for taking time to learn how it works."

Whumpril Day 27: Stepped On
Fandom: Star Wars The Clone Wars
Warnings: Violence and major character death
Summary: Cody had a run in with General Grievous.
When Commander Cody saw General Grievous he knew things were about to go down hill and fast. His general hasn't been there and the clones by themselves couldn't really do much against him. He ordered a retreat. What else could he really do?
This didn't spare his men. One by one the small group was killed off. With Cody the last one standing he backed himself into a corner. He shot at the Separatist but of course it couldn't help him.
Grievous grabbed him and forced him to the ground. Helplessly Cody looked up at the cyborg. He stepped on the clone, tightening his foot around his body. Cody couldn't breathe. The metal started penetrating his armor then skin. He felt something breaking. Tears welled in his eyes from the pain.
Obi-wan entered the hallway. His heart felt like it stopped when he saw the scene in front of him. He retched his arm out and stopped the attack with the force.
As gently as he could he pulled Grievous from his commander. He pushed him into a nearby wall and ran to the clones side. "Cody. Hold on, okay?"
The Jedi removed the chest plate from the other tenderly. Then he grabbed his cape and pressed it into the injuries. He grabbed Cody's arms and pressed them against the wounds. "Try to hold that for me dear."
Kenobi stood. He ignited his lightsaber and walked towards Grievous. The two engaged in a duel and before long Grievous would retreat.
Cody struggled to stay awake. He was in pain and still couldn't breathe well. The force from the man felt like it would be the end of him.
After the dual Obi-wan quickly moved back to Cody. He gently picked him up and took him to Wooly. "He needs help." The Jedi's voice was shaky.
Wooly grabbed him. He set him down quickly. He pressed two fingers to the commander's neck. Nothing. That can't be right.
Wooly checked again. Nothing. He felt colder than normal. The clone looked up to his general. He had tears in his eyes. "How is he?"
"Sir. He's gone." Wooly motioned to Cody's body and two soldiers came to move him.
"That can't be right. He's gonna be fine." Obi-wan spoke.
"General, I'm sorry." Wooly knew that the two were close but he didn't expect denial.
"Are they going to help him?" Obi-wan asked when the two soldiers took Cody away.
"Yeah, they will help him." Should Wooly have lied, no. But they needed their general. It wasn't ideal but if Wooly kept on pushing then he would crush the jedi. Huh ironic.
Two Weeks of Whump Day 6: Gunshot Wound
Fandom: Spider-verse
Summary: After a late night villain attack, Jefferson and Miles meets unexpectedly in the building.
Miles looked at the time, 1am. "Why can't villains attack the city at more convenient times?" he muttered to himself. Grabbing his suit he slipped his PJs off. Ganke stirred as Miles opened the window.
"Off to save the city? We have a test tomorrow." He mumbled
"You know it. I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Good luck."
"Thanks." Miles crawled out the window and attached a web to a nearby building. He pushed his feet against the wall and was off.
The fight against the villain wasn't long. Miles webber her up and got ready to go back to the dorms.
Though it might not have been a long fight it wasn't without property damage. No fight was really a fight without a form of property damage. It was one of the reasons Spider-Man was a controversial person. That and the baby powder.
As he walked towards a window so he could get out of there he heard a familiar voice behind him, "freeze, Spider-Man."
Oh great. "Mr. Morales" Miles replied turning around. He was pointing a gun at him. "Woah" Miles jumped back startled, "isn't that reserved for the bad guys?"
"You killed an innocent."
"Where did you hear that?" Miles's heart raced. He most certainly did not kill anyone.
"My brother, Aaron Davis. For the past year and a half I can't stop thinking about it. You were there."
"No you must be mistaken. I've never killed anyone. Mr. Davis was a good man-" Miles's fake accent began to slip. It had been so long now and they had been working together for just about the whole time he had been Spider-Man.
"Put your hands up."
Miles complied. "There's no need for the gun."
"I'm bringing you in for the murder of my brother."
Spider sense. Miles turned his head to see that the villain from earlier had escaped. He turned quickly to take care of her. The quick movement gave Jefferson a reason to shoot.
Miles hadn't thought about it when he moved. When he heard the gun go off he assumed that his dad had shot at the villain. No. He didn't know until he watched the villain leave.
Warm liquid ran down his leg. "What?" He whispered to himself. Looking down he realized what had happened. His father had shot him. The pain hit like the bullet that had just ripped through his side.
Spider-Man collapsed to the ground. He pressed his right hand against the wound while the other pulled his mask off. He used it as a form of cloth to help with the blood. "Did you really think I killed uncle Aaron?! I was there! It was Kingpin!"
Jefferson started at his son, now on the ground. He'd shot him. "oh God." He ran over to him and fell to his knees to help.
"Don't fucking touch me!" Miles screamed.
Jefferson jumped back before speaking, "don't talk to me like that." He realized how stupid it sounded as the words left his mouth.
"You shot me!" The teen tried to move back but couldn't.
"I'm sorry! Miles, just let me help you!"
Miles thought back to everything that had happened in the last month. Everything Miguel had put him though just because he wanted to save his father. For a brief second he wished he hadn't. That thought was quickly replaced by a wave of hatred for his own mind.
"Stay away." Miles voice was weaker this time. He didn't yell. The betrayal that laced every word, every movement made Jefferson feel as if he had been shot himself.
"10-52 Spider-Man has been shot " Jefferson radioed in.
"Stay with me Miles." He reached to hold pressure on the wound and this time Miles accepted the help.
"My identity." Miles tried to move out from where he was.
"It'll be okay."
"What's that location Sir?"
Miles listens as Mr. Morales states the information to the operater. He reached for his gizmo. Miguel had given him one once he realized his mistake. Miles took it because he might not like Miguel but he wanted to help and he wanted to see his friends. He and Miguel were getting to a point where they both understood what had happened and why and realized it was better to forgive rather then to hold it against each other.
"Hobie?" He turned the watch on, "i've been shot, where's Spidey Doc?"
Hobie responded quickly. "Let me get in contact with him, where are you?" He asked frantically.
"Who's that?" Jefferson asked.
"A friend" Miles whispered. He sent his coordinates to Hobie and before he could say anything else Hobie was there.
"I'm here" he walked over quickly, "Spidey Doc should be on the way."
Jefferson looked up at Hobie before he was shoved by him. Hobie took his place and put pressure on Miles's side. Stunned he didn't do anything
Everything moved too quickly for Jefferson to keep up. Another portal opened and now there was another spider person in the room?
The hero was dressed in a similar fashion to his son but in light blue and light green. Hobie stood quickly and the hero took his place. Jefferson tried to get to Miles but was stopped by Hobie. "you're his dad right?" He asked.
"Yes and who are you punk!?" Mr. Morales yelled.
"I'm Miles's friend Hobie" he spoke calmly, "that's Spidey Doc, he'll take care of Miles."
"I need to take him back to HQ."
"Okay."
"Is that okay with you Miles?" The doctor asked.
Miles nodded.
Before Jefferson could say anything the doctor had picked up his son and started to walk towards a portal. "Wait where are you taking him?!"
Hobie grabbed Jefferson and stopped him from moving forward. "He'll take good care of him."
"Wait! Miles!" Jefferson tried to get away from Hobie.
As the portal closed Hobie released the chef. "What happened?"
"You don't need to know!"
"Miles is my friend! What happened to him."
When Jefferson didn't answer Hobie knew. "Good job. He'll be fine, just hope you don't lose him after this."
Jefferson just stared at Hobie. "What now?" He asked.
"You hope he forgives you. He probably will, he's very forgiving. After that you hope that you didn't just mess up one of the sweetest kids I know. But above all else you admit what you did was wrong and give him time."
"Okay." And that's what he did. He waited and talked to Miles, apologizing over and over again. Miles could never hate his father. The two's relationship grew stronger, no longer being built on lies.
