Tech x Female reader - established relationship

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Cid better pay us extra for that mission." Echo grumbled, helmet held under his arm as you and the others waded off of the ship. Wrecker shrugged his shoulders, a carefree smile on his lips, "Eh, it wasn't so bad." he mused. You nodded along with him, although your aching joints would happily disagree with you.

"She failed to mention the drop zone would be swarming with Gundarks," Echo continued, his tone getting more frustrated as he spoke. Tech's hand nudged against yours as he leapt into the discussion, his ability to remain quiet and unopinionated practically non-existent, "It is not the first time she has left out key details." he pointed out, finger sticking up.

It was true, Cid was known to leave out important details, details which determined whether you'd live or die on a mission. You couldn't count the many near-misses you've had over your time working for her. As you approached the bar, feet scuffing against the dirt ground, you noted the excessive amount of people clustered around the entrance, "When did this place get so popular?"

The bar was bustling with life, quite a contrast to its normal dead atmosphere, you stood closer to Tech suddenly feeling nervous. What if the Empire knew you were here? All just double agents waiting for the perfect moment to snatch you up, throw you in a cell and burn the key.

"Not our problem, let's just find Cid." Hunter huffed out, slowly moving forward while keeping an eye on his surroundings. You did the same, finger scratching the hilt of your blaster as you surveyed patrons who stood by the bar, something didn't sit right with you. Cid's bar wasn't as bad as some places you had visited in the galaxy, but it wasn't a five-star resort by any means, so why the sudden boom in customers.

As you all approached the door, an armed guard blocked the way, his weapon pushing against Hunter's chest with every step he took, "And where do ya think you're goin'?" he questioned out, mask hiding his face. Hunter flicked his gaze behind his shoulder catching all the confused looks you were giving one another. With patience running thin, Hunter punched the man back against the wall ending the brewing argument there.

The corridors seemed darker than usual, maybe a few lights had blown out in the time you were gone, this place did seem rather old. The office door swooshed open, only to reveal a few more guards and someone who wasn't Cid. The men's blasters raised up, you doing the same, you were quite proud at how quickly you were able to reach your blaster; practice did make perfect.

"It's rather rude to barge into one's office unannounced, don't you think?"

"This isn't your office," Hunter growled out, two more guards coming up from behind. You, Wrecker and Echo turned to face them, your eyes looking their outfits up and down. You didn't recognise the design nor which side they seemed to be on, but from the way this interaction was playing out, you could only assume it wasn't yours.

"What are you doing with her?" Omega spoke up, you had nearly forgotten she was here with how quiet she had been, very out of character for her. You zoned back into the conversation, but your eyes still glared at the two men in front of you, blaster raised to the height of their foreheads.

The man began to move around, kicking his legs off of the table, "I paid, Cid delivered." he smirked, ugh you had barely spent five minutes with this guy but you already hated him. Hunter scowled at the man, "Where is Cid?" he spit out.
