Hunted|The Bad Batch.

twenty-seven: a deal.

[A/N: In canon as far as I'm aware, it is never specified when Lando acquires the falcon. also i've gotten tons of inspiration for jaina and tech's relationship from druig and makkari and clara oswald and the 12th doctor lol. ]

Arkanis was overcast when the group arrived on the usually rainy and cloudy planet and awaited Lando's own arrival with the ship they'd take. Yelena had contacted Lando and the suave smuggler was more than happy to meet them on Arkanis with a ship of his (Yelena and Jaina both knowing and having an idea of which ship he'd bring to them). Yelena stood outside the Marauder with everyone while Omega sat on the ground picking at the grass, Tech loitered in the door of the ship and Jaina sat on the steps with Wrecker and with BD who sat on her shoulder while Hunter was with Yelena and Echo was near Omega. They pretty much ignored the rambling Hondo who was off to the side with his two goons, he'd babbled the entire trip here and they were all tired of him. However, the loud whirring noise of a YT freighter in the distance interrupted and Yelena shielded her eyes and Jaina's head turned where they spotted the millennium falcon flying their way. The freighter slowly landed near the Marauder and it was a couple of minutes before the ramp of the ship dropped open and with a swagger out walked Lando Calrissian. "Well, well, well, if isn't the most beautiful and threatening woman in the galaxy." Lando laughed joyously, Echo sighing to himself in irritation while Jaina grumbled and BD beeped in greeting, but Yelena...shockingly wore a wide smile on her face.

"Lando Calrissian, I am so glad you take my calls." Yelena jokingly replied with a smile.

"Ah, well, I can never refuse you, can I?" Lando winked flirtingly which made Yelena chuckle and Hunter looked taken aback by the mans blatant flirting at Yelena.

"No, you can't." Yelena hums with her arms crossed.

The noise of BD whistling excitedly in greeting at Lando made the man chuckle, the droid actually liked Lando, in fact, adored the smuggler. She didn't know why. "It's lovely to see you too, little guy." He greeted the droid with a smile while Tech stared in shock. BD could not get along with him but he liked a smuggler?! Yelena and Echo knew exactly the why of that. "Well, I brought it, just as you asked and I have a place nearby I can stay at and keep an eye on the Marauder until you return." Lando informs Yelena, stepping over to the jedi knight with a flirty smile. "The Millennium Falcon, the fastest ship in the galaxy. For now." He announces, a slightly joking tone which made Yelena smirk.

"Fastest?" Tech speaks up taken aback. "Not possible, any ship that does the kessel run in less than twelve parsecs is the fastest. And any matter the multiple modifications made to the Marauder makes it far better." He crossed his arms indignantly, Jaina and Echo rolling their eyes and sighing while Omega giggled and Wrecker smirked, BD whistling smugly.

"By the way, thanks for the ship, Lando." Yelena speaks up, a smile on her face. "He never gets me anything." She teasingly nudges Hunter whose lips twitch and Lando chuckles, grabbing Yelena's hand into his which made Hunter's expression change.

"Oh, I know what the ladies like, Lady Casmirovna." Lando winks while placing a kiss on her hand and Hunter's jaw clenched, Jaina snorting in amusement at Hunter's blatant jealousy of Lando and Lando knew that, but he wouldn't deprive himself of Yelena or messing with this man that seemed to like her so. Lando smirked and stepped back before his gaze turned to Jaina then Hondo. "Ah, Jaina, so good to see you too and you...as well Hondo." He was mildly surprised at the sight of the familiar pirates and fellow smugglers.

"Yeah, nice to see you too, Lando." Jaina rolled her eyes, BD beeping happily which made Jaina want to chuckle. "Finally finished cheating your way through cards? Or the like?" She mocked and Lando chuckled but Tech smirked at her insult while Echo chuckled. Lando's eyes flickered to Echo and he gave the man a small nod of greeting, he liked Echo, just like he liked Yelena and Jaina. Hondo...he could tolerate Hondo, just like those three could.
