Ram'ser (Crosshair)

Introductions

"So who do I have the honor of meeting?" Saida grinned up at her captors.

They ignored her, except for the muscly one in the back, who gave her a look of confusion.

"Excuse me? It's a common courtesy to introduce yourself to your prisoner!" Saida angrily said.

Hunter rolled his eyes and reluctantly introduced them all as clone force 99, aka: the Bad Batch. "And you're Eve?"

Saida leaned back against the wall and tugged at the binders around her wrists. "Sure."

"Sure? Shouldn't you know your own name?" Tech asked.

Saida scoffed, rolling her eyes at how little they really knew about her. "Fine. My name's actually Saida."

"Saida..." Wrecker trailed off.

"Just Saida," Saida shook her head.

"Well then Just Saida," Hunter teased. "You need to tell us who hired you to attack the senator."

"No one hired me," Saida clenched her jaw.

She wasn't lying. She just wasn't telling the whole truth.

"Then why'd you attack the senator?" Hunter inquired.

Images of her sister flashed before her eyes, and Saida turned away from Hunter.

"Won't talk huh?" Hunter sighed.

"We could resort to other methods," Crosshair sneered at Saida.

Saida bristled and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Real mature," Crosshair snorted.

"Be polite Crosshair," Hunter warned. "And no, we're not gonna torture her."

Crosshair rolled his eyes and flicked his toothpick around in his mouth.

"Anyway," Hunter turned back to Saida, "you'll stay here until we figure out what to do with you."

Saida watched them go into an empty room, leaving her alone in the cockpit.

"I could just steal the whole ship you know!" Saida yelled at them, but got a middle finger from Crosshair in return.

Saida huffed and got up, even though it was difficult with her hands cuffed behind her back. She walked over to the dashboard and peered behind her to make sure no one was watching.

Then she sat on all the buttons.

Lights started flashing, alarms started to go off, and the ship's engines turned off.

"What did you do?" Tech shouted as he ran at her, pushing her off the controls and desperately trying to get the ship back online.

"I dunno," Saida shrugged.

Wrecker let out a high pitched scream as he saw the ground getting closer and closer to them. Hunter pushed Saida out of the way, and tried to help Tech turn the ship back down.

"Which button did you press?" Tech asked and flicked one of the levers.

"I just sat on them all," Saida leaned back against the wall.

"You what?" Hunter cried and glared at her.

Saida rolled her eyes at him. "I sat on the buttons."

"You di'kut!" Crosshair hissed at her.

"I don't know what that means but I'm taking it as a compliment!" Saida kicked his shin.

"You little-" Crosshair cut himself off with a growl and kicked her shin back.

Tech let out a breath as the engines turned back on and the ship flew back up into the sky.

"Hunter!" Saida whined. "Crosshair attacked me!"

"Crosshair!" Hunter yelled.

"She started it!" Crosshair flicked Saida's ear.

"I'm handcuffed and injured! What could I have done?" Saida glowered at him, but as soon as Hunter turned way, she smirked at Crosshair.

"Did you see that!?" Crosshair pointed at Saida, who had gone back to pouting.

"You're injured?" Tech inquired as soon as he put the ship back on autopilot.

"Yeah," Saida wave away his concern and shut her eyes to try and get some sleep.

She had maybe five seconds of peace before she was kicked in the side. Saida's eyes flew open and she punched Crosshair's leg.

"She doesn't seem hurt to me," Crosshair clasped at his leg.

Saida ignored him and shut her eyes again.

"Saida? Would you like some bacta?" Tech asked politely and held out a patch for her.

"What's bacta?" Saida squinted her eyes at it.

"Medical supplies? Commonly used by soldiers or bounty hunters?" Tech furrowed his brow at her.

"Nah I'm fine," Saida shook her head.

"Would you prefer a different medical treatment?" Tech asked.

"I'm fine," Saida said, beginning to get mad that she couldn't just sleep.

"Why not?" Tech questioned.

"I've never treated my wounds and I'm still living," Saida turned down the bacta again.

"Never?" Why?" Wrecker asked.

"Just never had the money," Saida shut her eyes, hoping that they would just LEAVE HER ALONE.

"But aren't you a bounty hunter?" Hunter asked.

"Leave me alone!" Saida snapped and burrowed her head against the wall.

They shuffled off, muttering amongst themselves.

Saida sighed and opened her eyes, staring out the window at the hyperspace going by. She played with the binders on her wrists and wondered what was going to happen to her sister if she didn't get back.
