The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

The Fairground

"Hunter! Hunter! Hunter! Hunter!" 

"Hunter, just answer her before I lose my mind" Echo groaned beside his brother who smirked at him, Fives couldn't help but watch as Hunter turned to his brother's daughter.

"Yes, Omega?" 

"Dad, says there's a fair in town but he won't go unless some reasonable people come with" Omega exclaimed, "Please can you go because I think you're reasonable!" Omega grinned as she spoke. 

Hunter could only grin looking at Fives who nodded almost to say, we are free. 

"Yes we will join you, have you asked Echo?" Hunter decided to throw his brother-in-law under the bridge. 

"Yes, Papa answered earlier! I will go and tell Dad!" Omega ran off in search of her dad who was in no doubt stuck in his work. 

"You agreed?" Fives turned to his twin who sighed, "It was the only way to get her to stop bouncing around. Even if I don't go on rides, I don't mind watching. It will be good for Tech since he can't drag himself away from his new project" Echo said in a calming tone as Tech emerged from upstairs with his bouncing daughter. Omega smiled standing ready with Lula in her arms. 

"Megs, Lula can't come" 

"Not even in the car?" Omega asked. 

"No, leave her here, the last thing we need to do is lose her" Echo stated, Omega nodded leaving the teddy on the bench. 

"Have you asked Wrecker?" Hunter turned to Tech who nodded, "I rang him, he said he will get a lift and meet us there. Which reminds me, we better leave now to beat the traffic" Tech said, wearing a smile. 

"What traffic? Last I checked we live in a remote…"

"Fives shut up" Hunter interrupted his husband who rolled his eyes grabbing his keys knowing he would be driving for the two. Hunter preferred to just sit back rather than drive.

Soon enough they were all on the road in Fives spacious sports car. They were going to take two cars but it had been decided, it would be easier just to take one and if needed be, Omega could sit in the back if Wrecker didn't have a lift.

"What rides will there be, Uncle Fives?" Omega asked her daft uncle, who smirked at her through his mirror. 

"Probably bouncy, spinny and…two minutes, let me answer this" Fives cut himself off, noticing someone was calling. 

"Rex, what can I do for you bearing in mind the batch and Omega can hear you?" 

"Well that makes my life a little better, is Hunter there?" 

"He is" 

"Well tell him, I want a word with him at the Station when he is available and Fives, no more pets in the station please" 

"Did you kill Greg?" 

"No but Jesse is cursing you for leaving the spider in a tub on his desk with the task, take care of Greg" 

"Ha! That's what he gets, anything else?" 

"Yes, inform Echo he owes me a report from Friday" 

"Geez, Rex, do you ever stop working?" 

"No, now enjoy the rest of your days. Father wants a word with you and Echo when you have time. I would avoid him as long as you can because Jesse upset him by choosing Kix over his own father. See you later"
