Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (Sudden)

Lyni was nervous, and Crosshair didn't blame her. Ever since Destroy nearly attacked her in broad daylight she'd been jumpy. And now they'd been called into the police station with Riyo Churchi (Fox's lawyer fiance.) And they were waiting for what they were to be told.

The sound of tapping was all the sound that was in the small waiting room, and Crosshair took Lynis hand which was quietly tapping out a rhythm only she could hear. Interlocking her fingers with his Lyni took his support. And still they waited.

Finally Lyni and Riyo were called into the office, but Crosshair was made to wait outside. Taking a deep breath Lyni released his hand and followed Riyo in before the door closed. That was the only sound besides the ticking of a clock that went to five minutes, fifteen minutes, half an hour, an hour, two.

Time stretched out. Until at the two and a half hour mark the door opened, letting Lyni out of it. Crosshair was immediately on his feet, and at her fearful look opened his arms. Lyni quickly crossed to him before burying her face into his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist. Holding on to her, he looked over at Ryio who answered his silent question, "Mother Talzan wants us to trade Lyni in exchange for the prisoners that she's holding."

Anger welled in his chest, "That bitch was told where to stick it right?"

Riyo only sighed, "Higher ups are considering taking their offer." Patting Lyni's back, "I'll see you in a few days." Then seeming to think something else needed to be added, "We'll find a way to beat this." WIth that she left the young woman clutching Crosshair like he was a lifeline.

*****

Crosshair could never remember afterward just how he got her to move positions so they could head home. Her apartment was closer and he left Lyni to sink onto the couch before heading into her room to grab a blanket that he wrapped securely around her shoulders.

As he pulled away she grabbed his hand, "Crosshair," swallowing hard, "if there is paperwork that makes it so you have the twins, would you sign it?"

He nodded, "Of course Lyni."

Lyni smiled at that answered, "I'll make book to let you know what to expect at each stage of growth." He opened his mouth to protest, "There will also be a nutrition list and what to do when Brutal sheds layers off of his horns to let the new ones grow..."

"I won't need that Lyni," Crosshair finally broke in, "because you'll be here."

Her eyes were tearful, "You don't know my mother Cross. She won't stop until she has me back." Leaning back into the couch, "I can't decide if knowing you has made this better or worse." Waving her hand between them, "This, our ability to adjust to each other and have respect, is why I would have chosen you for my mate." Then with her shoulders slumping as he blinked in shock, "You don't have to say no, it not as if you could ever feel that way about someone like me."

Taking her hands, "But I do Lyni." She looked at him, "I would choose you to be my mate because you give me the reason to try. You were the one who pulled me out of a spiral and let me believe in myself again." Before he could think of what he was saying, "Will you marry me?"

Tears ran down Lyni's face, "Yes Cross." Cupping his face, "If you are serious about it."

Kissing her palm, "I have never been more serious in my life."

Hugging him she moved to sit on his lap, "Then we are going to be life mates." Pressing her forehead against his she let out a contented purr.

Smiling at her, "I love you too Lyni." And if the now engaged couple let themselves have a few kisses on that couch, no one was around to judge.

************************************************************************

Yes, a crisis made it so that they confessed to each other. Hopefully a marriage will make a green card.

*Crosshair being a menace*

The Batch/Fetts, "Lyni come get your husband.'

Lyni (describing members Bad Batch) : "It seems that whenever they have a choice, they do the most chaotic thing possible."

Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (Cross middle fingers the Government)

So in my last one Lyni is basically going to be deported due to not being legal and having a terrorist use her as a bargaining chip. In the stress induced state, she and Cross get engaged. This is what happens next.

***********************************************************************

Crosshair woke up in Lyni's apartment with his arms around her slender form and a giant smile on his face. This is all that he had wanted, now she was his fiance. Looking around the world had not seemed so bright in ages.

Making breakfast for Lyni and the kids he remembered that tonight was the eighteen month anniversary of the day he found out about the twins and got her email address. So it was really the anniversary of them being friends. Smiling he decided to make her a picnic to celebrate. It had been a few days since he had proposed to her and he had bought the ring he had been considering for it. So now it was time to make it official. But that would wait until their picnic that afternoon.

The ringtone saved for Fox's work phone range though the quiet apartment and his heart sank. No good news ever followed when it rang in the middle of one of his cousins shifts. Picking it up he heard his cousins voice, "Crosshair, is Lyni with you?"

Swallowing, "No, shes at work. What's wrong?" A sudden dread, "Is it the twins?"

"No, the kids are fine Crossy." Old nickname, not good. Fox continued, "The higher ups have given the requirements that Lyni would have to meet in order not to be sent back to the cult."

"What are they?" Crosshair's voice came out harsher but his cousin didn't blame him.

Sighing, "Cross, they need proof of citizenship." Continuing on, "If there was a visa it could be negotiated but we both know that Lyni doesn't have any legal paperwork to be here."

It was true. That's how they had met Riyo Churchi in the first place, to try and get that legal paperwork straightened out. Crosshair asked, "Marriage has given a green card before right?"

"Yes but..." then Fox seemed to realize, "Cross are you just going to marry her to keep her here?"

"No Fox," taking a deep breath, "I'm engaged to her, but we haven't announced it yet because I just barely go the ring yesterday."

Fox was swearing softly on the other side of the phone before saying, "I'll call Riyo and she'll get on the paperwork for Lyni to be a military wife." Blowing out a breath, "You'll get some flack for this Cross."

"I know," he answered, "but if it keeps Lyni and those kids safe I will take whatever is thrown at me."

There was a soft chuckle on the other side of the line, "I know vod'ika." Then the two said their goodbyes and Crosshair was left in the quiet again.

**********

Lyni got the call from Riyo as she was walking home and ran to Crosshair's arms when she got there. They discussed the hope their marriage brought to the table and decided then and there they were marrying ASAP. So each showered and changed before going to Riyos office. Crosshair was in dress uniform and Lyni was in a floor length , long sleeved blue dress that matched her eyes perfectly.

At Riyos office they got all the paperwork done and submitted into the systems there. And then they went down the plaza with her to the little marriage ceremony at the court house and submit paperwork there as well. Crosshair and Lyni were legally and lawfully married.

********** The next day was a Saturday and they were having a family picnic to celebrate. There was going to be a reception on the Sunday after to officially introduce Lyni to the family as Crosshairs wife.

Laughter rang through the air as the Shadow and Brutal played tag with Wrecker though the park as Hunter kept an eye on them. Tech has started recording them amused and Phee leaned on his shoulder contentedly. Crosshair was sitting with his back against a tree, Lyni between his knees with back against his chest laughing softly as she watched the kids run around happily.

Suddenly the peace of the day was broken by an official call berating Crosshair for finding a loophole that would not allow the higher ups to get rid of their problem by sending Lyni away and getting information in return. A few choice words showed exactly what he thought of that and then he looked back to where he let his wife who was now talking to Phee. A soft smile broke on his face as he looked at Lyni reveled in the thought, my wife."

************************************************************************

So yeah, Crosshair did an F-you to the idea of sending Lyni back to a violent cult. And the fact that he got to marry her is a triple bonus. Now he is just waiting for the adoption papers for the twins to go though and they'll be an official family.

Lyni half asleep and hearing shouting throws a shoe at it, "Smooth your tail."

Crosshair quickly deals with the argument because no one disturbs his lady.
