Hunted|The Bad Batch.

thirteen: an old friend.

The Marauder jolted as it sped through space, the ship being chased by three gunships. Once again no one listened to her when she suggested an idea that would work better. Cid gave them a job to retrieve some lizard and bring it back to her for her client. Honestly, Yelena laughed when she first told them about the job before she sighed and realized, they were going to do it. That led to Yelena suggesting an approach of her going in only, one person in quietly and out quietly with the lizard. Echo agreed with the idea, Tech did too, but Hunter did not like the idea of her going off on her own. Why he didn't, she had no idea. So they all went in together, got the lizard, and it led to this mess as they tried to leave the planet and get into hyperspace, the hyperdrive of course having issues as always in situations like this and Echo having to try and work on it fast. "You know when I suggested just sending me in so it'd go quietly...I really meant!" Yelena shouted, stumbling towards the gunner mount where Hunter was firing at the gunships. "Because this! This is a disaster that could've been avoided!" She argued, Hunter gritting his teeth together.

"I got it, Yelena. You were right and I was wrong." Hunter retorted with an irritated huff before deciding the quickly move on from Yelena's argument. "How much longer until we're in hyperspace, Tech?" He calls back to the man, Yelena rolling her eyes at how he immediately decided to move on from what she was saying.

"That depends on when Echo plans on getting the drive back online," Tech replies, much to Echo's irritation as he worked on the hyperdrive.

"I'm working on it!" Echo exclaimed, Yelena shaking her head at the two and gripping onto the ladder up to the gunner mount. The woman glanced back as she saw Wrecker put down the cage with the lizard next to Omega who was strapped in her seat. The little girl glancing at the lizard with an anxious expression on her face.

"I don't think Ruby likes this very much," Omega says with a nervous frown.

"You named that thing?" Wrecker asks with disbelief, strapping himself into his own seat. Yelena began climbing up the ladder when the Marauder jolted violently, the woman nearly slipping off the ladder. "What's with these guys?" He shouted.

"Well, we did steal from them." Omega points out to him.

"Technically, the Rhokai stole the lizard first. We are merely intercepting it." Tech corrected smartly, Yelena refraining from rolling her eyes at Tech. Yeah, they probably didn't see it that way.

"They don't see it that way." Hunter retorts.

"Took the words from my mouth. They don't care, they just want it back." Yelena adds, her words holding a slightly dry tone in them which made Tech huff in irritation. Yelena finally made it up the ladder to the gunner mount, gripping onto the chair and Hunter glanced at her confused.

"What are you doing up here?" Hunter immediately demanded.

"Trying somehow to help," Yelena replies vaguely, frowning and narrowing her eyes while she scanned the gunships. "If I can just spot the pilots..." She trailed off, the ship jolting again and Yelena could hear a small crash from behind them.

"It's loose! It's loose!" Wrecker screamed in fear, Yelena normally would've laughed and she wanted to, but the gunships were the more pressing issue. "Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" He cries, Yelena guessing he was probably fighting with the lizard creature right now.

"Stay calm. You're scaring her." Omega attempts to defuse the situation. Yelena took a breath, ignoring the shouting and panic from Wrecker and she focused, before reaching out her hand at the nearest gunship. Right now that said pilot in the gunship was probably freaking out when the controls moved the gunship right into Hunter's aim.

"Fire now, quickly!" Yelena exclaimed, Hunter's eyes widening slightly when he realized what she was doing and pressed down on the trigger, firing the gun and destroying the gunship.
