Hunted|The Bad Batch.

eighteen: the mandalorian.

Yelena stumbled slightly when the ship jolted, Echo grabbing her arm and steadying her. She was trying to bandage up Hunter who was no longer in the upper part of his armor but only wearing his blacks, the woman patching him up with Echo's help but it was hard. Their escape was mostly fine until Crosshair had caught up with his ship and began firing at them. Hunter was so focused on finding Omega that whenever Yelena told him, she wasn't on the planet anymore, he didn't listen. Yelena understood his worry and fear completely, but she could sense quite clearly Omega was nowhere near Bracca anymore. "Any sign of that bounty hunter?" Hunter asked, Yelena finishing patching up the sergeant when she looked at Tech who was so focused on piloting.

"The only vessel in our scanners is Crosshair's and he is right on top of us," Tech informed him quickly, Echo moving and making his way to the pilot's seat when Yelena noticed Hunter grimace in pain. With all the pain he was feeling from his wound, she might as well say hers was minor in comparison because at this point it was.

"How bad does it hurt?" Yelena voiced her concern, placing a worried hand on Hunter's shoulder. His heart rate had calmed down tremendously compared to a few moments ago and as did his anxiety, but it was still very evidently stronger.

"I-I'm fine, Yelena." Hunter brushed her off, taking a breath and wincing. Yelena shoots him a stern and knowing look, she knew he was lying. It was very clear he was.

"You are a terrible liar," Yelena said lowly, Hunter looking away from her and biting the inside of his cheek. Yelena sighed and glanced down at her comm link that beeped slowly. It didn't take long for the woman to receive notification from the help she had requested. She was family and when family typically needed help, they came to.

"It's getting hot back here!" Wrecker shouted back from where he fired in the gunner's seat.

"Prepping to jump," Tech called out, Yelena moving to go sit down in the seat across from Hunter when Hunter's protest stopped her.

"Not without Omega."

"The bounty hunter who took her is long gone." Echo reminded him, glancing at Yelena who nodded. She said so herself that she couldn't feel the girl nearby anymore, staying around Bracca was useless at this point. "We'll have no chance of finding them if Crosshair shoots us down." He points out, Yelena knew he was completely right and she knew Hunter knew that too.

"Hunter, she's not on the planet anymore or nearby. I can't sense her life force close by. The bounty hunter went into hyperspace with her." Yelena argued, trying to get him to understand they needed to leave or they'd never get Omega back. "We've got to jump or Crosshair will get us and then we can't help her." She tries to reason with him and Hunter looks down, evidently conflicted in his choice and Yelena could understand that completely.

"Rear deflector shields are failing." Tech alerted them, his tone urgent and frantic. He, Yelena, and Echo all knew they couldn't stay and as of right now as much as Yelena hated thinking it, Hunter's emotions were getting in the way as of right now only. Yelena sighed deeply and kneeled down in front of Hunter, placing a hand on his lower arm.

"Hunter...please," Yelena whispered desperately, Hunter swallowed hard and looked at her before he nodded.

"Make the jump." He ordered Tech and Echo, Tech immediately pushed the lever forward and the ship jumped into hyperspace. Yelena let out a breath of relief and stood up. Echo glanced over at his friend and pressed his lips together, he wanted to know if the help she said she was getting was confirmed.

"Yelena...is your help coming?" Echo asked, much to the confusion of Hunter who looked to her.

"They're on their way but...they're not coming to us. They have a different method to help us with Omega." Yelena replied, her words slightly vague when she answers him. Tech and Echo exchanged a look while Hunter's eyebrows furrowed. Who was she talking about? And who exactly was going to help Omega besides them? "They have their job, what we need to do is figure out who the hell took Omega. Hunter is the only one who saw him." She moves on and changes the subject, the woman turning her gaze to Hunter while Tech nods.
