The Bad Batch One Shots

Thunderstorms

Omega's POV

The ship was dark, everyone was asleep besides for me... It's hard for me to sleep during storms, the thunder and lightning has always spooked me. There's a bright flash a clap of thunder instantaneously, and I let out a yelp of fear. I jump down from my room, and ran over to Hunter's bunk, and hid under his blanket. 

There's another bright flash followed by a delayed boom.

Hunter's POV

I woke up and the first thing I saw was a small-shaking-lump next to me. I sighed. "Omega, you should be asleep," I sat up and threw the blanket off of her. "It's just a little thunder and lightning, nothing to be afraid of."

"You don't understand," Omega snapped back, pulling the blanket back over her head.

I hated to see her like this, it just broke my heart. I put my hand on her shoulder, trying my best to comfort her. Once I do, she cuddles up next to me, and buries her head into my chest. "Hey, it's okay." I slowly pull down the blanket and start to stroke her hair. "Then help me understand..." I say calmly, I just wanted to help her.

Omega's POV

I look up at Hunter with tears in my eyes, and I give in. "Back at Kamino, I can remember how terrified I was during each storm. Well, every day mostly. I had no one to run to. I was alone." I wasn't able to finish explaining when a flash of lightning and thunder rudely interrupts me. Hunter looks at me with sad eyes and in a soft voice, "Kid, you have us now. Your not alone anymore, and I promise your safe with us. Its not like back on Kamino, if you ever need one of us, you can always ask for help." 

Hunter's POV

When I look back down at Omega, I saw she had fallen asleep. I pull her closer, hoping to calm her down a little because she was still shaking. I look up to see Echo smirking from his bunk. "Is she alright?" he asks. I nod "Just scared of the storms.."

"Yeah, I think everyone knows that now." Echo lays back down. Omega's whimper quickly catches my attention. I tell her, "everything's going to be alright", before I too drift off to sleep with her in my arms.
