Tech x Female Jedi Reader

Back to Normal

"You're telling me that you survived from that height?" Crosshair asks, listening to Tech's explanation of what happened. 
"If it wasn't for Y/N, I wouldn't have survived." Tech says. 
"How did you get here?" Crosshair asks Omega. 
"The Empire took me. I was trying to escape, but they caught up to me." Omega explains. 
"We should get moving to try and send a signal." You say.
Crosshair nods. "Follow me."

You can hear Tech's breathing hitch occasionally as all of you walk through the forest.
"Don't you think we should slow down?" You ask, concerned. 
"We're almost there. I think." Crosshair says.
"That's... reassuring." Tech manages to say.
You let Crosshair have a break and help support Tech. Omega walks close to you as she nervously watches Tech. The control center is now in sight. 
"There!" Omega points. 
"We're going to have to be quick." Crosshair says, looking over to Tech.
"Physically, I may be injured, but my mind... is still in tact." Tech says, laughing nervously. 
"We'll get you more help as soon as the others find us." You say.
You all finally make it to the control center. It's very tall, similar to the one Tech was working on before his fall. You see him look up to it, then quickly turn his head away. 
"Hey. It's okay. We're safe here." You say to him. 
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. The Empire could still be after us." Crosshair says.
"Crosshair, you aren't helping!" Omega says. 
Crosshair sighs. "How are we supposed to get Tech up there?" 
"You won't need to. I'll do it." You state. 

"I don't think whatever Jedi training you have will help you-" Crosshair starts, stopping after he sees you Force jump to a level of the tower. 
It's incredibly high up. Crosshair, Tech, and Omega look tiny. There's still a long way up until you can reach the control circuit. You anxiously cling on to one of the supports on the tower. After your last fall, you aren't sure if you'd be able to survive even this fall. 
"Don't tell me you're being like Wrecker!" Crosshair shouts with a frustrated tone. 
"Just... give me a second!" You yell down to him. 
"I believe in you, Y/N!" Omega encourages you. 
You inhale sharply and take another jump. Your hand nearly misses the support, but you manage to hang on to it. The last jump will be the trickiest, given that there's a sort of ceiling platform above you. You jump high enough so you can grab the ledge on the platform. It takes an incredible amount of strength to pull the rest of your body up. 
"What now?" You shout. Since none of you have your comms, sending a signal will be tricky. 
"Tech says to press the 3rd button on the second row twice, then press the 2nd button on the 1st row!" Crosshair yells. 
You do as Crosshair says. 
"Press the 1st button on the 3rd row!" Crosshair instructs you. 
You continue to follow Tech and Crosshair's instructions. Eventually, you're able to figure out how to send a signal. You can't send a message to the others, but you can send your coordinates. Some Imperial guards spot you. You slide down the support beam. It hurts when you land since you weren't able to fully stop yourself. 
"We need to get out of here. Now." You say, your voice filled with urgency. 

You and Crosshair support Tech. You're able to move a little faster this way. Eventually, the forest ends. The Imperials weren't able to catch up with you, but you all no longer have the option of hiding underneath the trees. You find a small lake nearby. The sun is starting to set, and it's getting chilly. Omega cuddles next to you and Tech for warmth. Crosshair sits alone. Omega gives him a look that says, please? 
Crosshair sighs. "Fine. But you can't tell the others about this." He sits closer to you all. 

Everyone is asleep except for you and Tech. He's pretending to be asleep so you don't worry, but you can tell he's in pain.
"Tech?" You say softly.
"I'm fine, cyar'ika." Tech whispers, placing his hand on yours.
He leans his head on your shoulder.
"Get some rest. I'll be okay." He continues.
You close your eyes again, but it's hard to fully fall asleep. Your body aches from the stress and injuries you've had recently, but your mind keeps worrying about Tech. You're able to meditate for a while to calm down a little, but you can't get any deep rest. 

You wake up as the sun shines on your face. Tech, Crosshair, and Omega are asleep. Tech seems to be in less pain. You stand up, careful not to wake the others. You walk around so you're farther away from the others. You splash your face with some water from the lake. It's freezing, and your face feels tingly for a moment from the cold. You pause for a moment as you hear noises in the distance. You close your eyes and focus on your senses. Suddenly, you see a vision of Hunter, Echo, and Wrecker in the forest, searching for you. You gasp as you realize that they're nearby. You control your excitement because you know you need to be quiet. You can risk being seen by the Imperial soldiers again. You gingerly step over tree branches and leaves. Your eyes are focused on the ground. You run into something in front of you. You step back and look up. 
"H-Hunter?" You whisper.
"Y/N!" Hunter says, hugging you.
You groan. "Hunter, I'm...hurt." 
"Are you okay? I should've known..." Hunter says, frustrated at himself. 
"I'm okay. Tech is too." You say. 
"He's alive?" Hunter asks in disbelief.
Echo and Wrecker walk over.
"Y/N! Is it really you?" Wrecker yells. 
"Shh!" You, Hunter, and Echo say. 
"Sorry..." Wrecker says quietly.
"This way." You say, leading the three of them to the lake.
