Bad Batch S3 - Tumblr Posts
One thing about the reunion that I’m so normal about is like. Omega’s close to full-on sobbing when she runs for Hunter. She’s been so brave the entire time she was held at mount tantiss, and that bravery is how she and Crosshair managed to escape, but also she’s still just a kid. A kid who spent months frightened, alone save for a brother in a cell, homesick, and forced to bottle it all up because even a doll to sleep with at night was something she could be punished for. After she had to hold herself together for such a long time, she found her way back to her family, and wrapped up in Hunter’s arms as he murmurs that they never stopped looking for her, it’s finally safe to cry. She doesn’t have to be brave anymore
I actually can’t stop thinking about how wrecker was the only one out there when omega and crosshair arrive. how he said he wasn’t even sure omega’s message was real. did hunter have to take that moment to compose himself, do you think? did wrecker volunteer to go out and wait and handle whatever happened because he knew if hunter got his hopes up and they were wrong it would have crushed him????
Crosshair: Ok so, apparently the "bad vibes" I've been feeling are actually severe psychological distress.
Omega: Just be yourself. Say something nice.
Crosshair: Which one? I can't do both.
Omega: I want to grow up and be like Crosshair!
Crosshair: That is called Acquiring Depression.
happy bad batch eve y’all i am not ready i physically cannot
Omega leaving Tech's goggles and Lula on Pabu because it's the first place that ever felt like home for them I'm unwell
Echo, a few days after joining the squad: Why are you like this??
Crosshair: I used too much "No More Tears" shampoo as a cadet and I haven't felt a single emotion since.
Exactly my thoughts
Hunter in the finale.
If Tech Lived…
So I am and have been a Tech Lives theorizer since season 3 started. But immediately after watching the finale I’ve been thinking… I don't write angst but it's better to write it than just say it.
——————————————————
Hunter blinks spots away as he limps away from that awful ‘reconditioning machine’. His senses are in full overload but Hemlock took Omega somewhere, He has to find her, fast. The spots clear enough and he spots an abandoned electro-staff. Something moves in the corner of his eye. It's one of those Shadows he thinks fast and hurls the spear into the Shadow’s abdomen. The Shadow is impaled in a flash of sparks against the wall. His helmet glitches open from the ‘staff.
“No,” Hunter whispers “No, no!” He yells this time
No, no, no, he died during the- wished he could deny it but that was his brother. Crosshair emerges from the shadows and gapes at the Shadow- no their brother. Hunter darts over to feel for a pulse.
”He’s gone,” Crosshair declares
Crosshair is right.
”Tech is gone, Hunter,” Crosshair continues “Hemlock made sure of that,” He adds mournfully “We have to go get Omega”
Hunter pauses for a moment then turns, picks up a blaster, head spinning, and follows Crosshair out the door. I just killed my brother. He shoves that thought away quickly. We have to get Omega first.
They both emerge onto the rainy landing platform, right in time to see Hemlock’s shuttle leave. He and Crosshair both raise their guns to shoot uselessly but they're too late. Hunter can't hold back the scream he’s been holding in. I killed Tech and lost Omega. I've failed.
——————————————————
Yeah… that was the thing I was thinking about. If Tech lived and was revealed to be CX-2 when he was impaled(because his helmet glitches cause of the electrico staff) that they wouldn't have enough time to rescue Omega.
Can you tell I don't write angst?
