The Bad Batch: A Heart-breaking Secret - Modern AU(Hunter x Crosshair) Complete!

Chapter 40

Two weeks later…

"Tris?" 

Whipping around Crosshair turned to see not only Hunter but Echo, Fives and Jesse. They were all getting ready for the funeral with the exception that Crosshair wasn't going. He was staying to watch the kids and because he was on house arrest he agreed to stay so Fives could go. 

"Hmm" 

"We are leaving now and should be back later. Are you going to be alright?" 

"I will be fine. Please don't worry" Crosshair ignored their gentle smiles as Hunter and Fives said their byes to him. Echo only hugged him in 'thanks' while Jesse had a small conversation with him before leaving. 

Soon enough the house was empty. Crosshair was stuck with the kids, not that he minded. Omega, Hera and Amber were playing on a computer in the living room leaving Crosshair with his own twins who slept in the moses basket. He was watching the Wolffe twins who were playing with the three girls in the front room. 

He was in the midst of making lunch when his phone rang, well the one he wasn't allowed out. Omega entered only to gasp seeing the green phone, Crosshair held a finger to his lips and she nodded. 

"Speaking" 

"You little fucker! You were right! Please tell me you can stop the funeral! I believe it's animals in the coffins!" 

"Are you sure?" 

"Of course, I am. Thorn say hello to your brother" 

"Hey Tris! Please stop the funeral!" 

Crosshair could only smile hearing Thorn and Gregor's voices. 

"How?" 

"Fake an injury or…"

BANG!

"CROSSHAIR! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?" 

Crosshair could only look down feeling pain shoot straight through his stomach, he gasped as he looked up to see a figure standing in the doorway with another gun. Crosshair grabbed the nearest knife and threw it, it landed in the shooter's arm. The phone clattered to the ground.

"DAD!" Omega screamed, alerting the others. The Wolffe twins came running only to gasp. Comet clicked his emergency beacon on his necklace while Sinker watched over the twins. 

Crosshair slumped against the fridge leaving a streak of blood down it. 

"Dad! Stay with me!" 

Blood spluttered out of his mouth, screams from the kids had him on his feet. 

"Come here you little rat!" 

"Get off! Daddy! Papa! Crossy Help!" Amber screamed as the shooter grabbed her arm pulling her. Crosshair climbed to his feet pulling out a spare weapon he knew Tech had hid. It was a pistol. He gestured for the kids to get down as he pulled the trigger watching it hit his target.

Amber screamed when the body slumped to the floor, she ran for Crosshair who pulled her into his side as he pushed pressure on his wound. Slumping to the floor against the fridge, he yelped in pain. Hera and Omega were helping by holding spare towels to the injury. Crosshair couldn't help but groan in pain. 

"Dad! Stay with us! Please Mother! I need you! Father and Fives need you!" Omega yelled at him, Crosshair could only nod. 

"Are you safe?" 

"We all are, thanks to you" Hera said, pressing into his side. Crosshair nodded looking at the Wolffe twins who nodded, "Help is coming, the babies are asleep!" Comet called out holding onto Sinker who couldn't help but cry.
