Bad Reputation: A Bad Batch Fanfiction Story

𝔸𝕟𝕩𝕚𝕖𝕥𝕪

The outfit I describe in this looks similar to the design of Ahsoka's blue outfit. :)

Once you wake up, you see that Hunter and Dara have already gotten up to eat and make some caf for everyone. You go to your room to get dressed, feeling happy that you haven't had any nightmares. Once you go to the main hull of the ship, Echo hands you a ration.
"Morning, Y/N." Hunter says, smiling.
"Morning!" You respond.
"Did you end up sleeping well last night?" Dara ask.
You nod. "Yeah. I didn't have any more visions."
"I'm glad." Dara smiles.
"Do you think you could get some information on Crosshair?" Hunter asks Tech.
"Sure. It may take a little while though. The Empire is quite particular about which information people are allowed to access. It should not be a problem, however, given that my hacking skills are good." Tech says.
"Good." Hunter says.
Hunter turns to you and Omega and says, "How about we have a fun day today? We don't have a mission right now, and we could go to Ord Mantell and find some cool shops."
"That sounds amazing." You say. You're happy that you'll have something to take your mind off of worrying about Crosshair.
Dara tells Echo to pilot the ship towards Ord Mantell and he nods.

When you arrive, Ord Mantell looks the same as ever. All of you exit and look around for different market stalls. You and Omega find one with loth cat stuffed animals and look up at Hunter.
"Yes, we can get those..." Hunter says, pulling out some credits.
Wrecker gave Omega his Lulah, and you've only had a few toys over the years since most of your time has been spent helping the squad. You haven't had a day purely dedicated to having fun in a while.
Dara shows you a market stall with clothes that would fit you and Omega. One of them catches your eye. It's an outfit with blue and purple colors and a hooded cloak.
The cloak looks like what a Jedi would wear! You think.
The outfit has leather fitted gauntlets to protect your wrists, and it looks stylish but able to withstand some blaster fires. Omega gets a similar one in different colors.
You try it on and see Dara smile.
"What?" You ask.
"You just remind me of when I first tried on my Jedi robes." She says, smiling.

When you all get back to the ship (after getting Mantell Mix, of course), Tech starts to find more information on Crosshair.
"I hope we can see him soon." Omega says.
"I hope so too." You say, starting to feel a little sad.
Dara walks over to you and says, "How about we do some training and meditation to help get your mind off of this?"
You nod. "Yeah, I need it."
She leads you back to her and Hunter's room and gestures for you to sit down. You close your eyes and try to just sit and notice your thoughts.
"My mind keeps worrying about Crosshair. He's like one of my uncles... I miss him." You admit.
"I know. I want to see him too." Dara responds.
You meditate for a few more minutes and you get another vision. You see Crosshair lying on a medical table in pain. You can hear your mother's voice trying to tell you that she's here with you, but you can't seem to get rid of the vision. Finally after a few more seconds, you snap out of it.
"Y/N, are you alright?" Dara asks.
"They're doing experiments on Crosshair! There's this scientist... I'm scared, Mom." You say, hugging her.
"I know. Tech is very good at researching, though. I know we'll find him soon." Dara tells you.
"Are you up for a little lightsaber training?" She asks.
"Yeah. I'm ready to learn more." You say.

Dara begins to teach you another form of lightsaber combat. It's a little hard to get it right, but she helps you.
"When I was a Padawan, I used to train with little training bots. I bet Tech could eventually make you some." Dara says.
"Really?" You ask.
She nods. "It was a fun challenge."
Once you take a break from training, you decide that you want to ask your mom more about why she had to leave.
"Can I ask you something?" You say.
"Sure." Dara replies.
"Why did you really have to leave? Hunter said he didn't really know the reason why."
She sighs. "That's a fair question. When you were young, I had to keep the fact that I had a family secret from the council. I was able to help out on different planets and I traveled with your father and the squad. That's how we met. The council didn't know that I had a family, and they assumed I just worked with Hunter. It felt hard to have to lie to the council, but I wanted to be a Jedi as well. I left because Aayla Secura, a member of the council, told me that there were strange things going on amongst the Jedi. There were attacks that began to happen, and a year or two before Order 66, a Jedi named Ahsoka Tano was expelled from the Jedi Order. I needed to leave you because the council needed help investigating. After the Empire believed they had killed most of the Jedi, they found me alive. They decided to interrogate me and locked me in prison, as you saw. I wanted both lives: being a Jedi and being a mother. When I got taken away by the Empire, I felt like I was neither of those things. Now I feel like I have that back."
"Wow... I didn't realize how much you had to deal with." You say, amazed by what she said.
"I'm better off than most of the Jedi. I lost many friends on that day." Dara says, a grim look on her face.
"I'm so sorry. I'm happy you're with us." You say, looking at her.
"I'm happy to be here." Dara smiles.
She gets up and stretches. "I'm sorry for bringing the mood down."
"It's okay." You say. "I appreciate you telling me."
You continue practicing lightsaber forms until Echo says it's time for dinner.

Everyone eats some rations for dinner.
"I believe I have almost located Crosshair." Tech states.
"Really?" You ask, very excited.
"Do not get too excited yet. This mission could go many ways." Tech tells you.
"I know, I know..." You say.
"Do you think he'll even want to see us?" Echo says.
"We have to try." Omega says, determined.
"Echo has a point. We have not seen him in quite some time." Tech adds.
"Don't you want to see him?" You ask.
"Well, yes. I am just saying that he has gone on a separate path, and he may be reluctant to change it." Tech replies.
"Tech..." Hunter starts. You can tell he's trying to tell Tech to be mindful of you and Omega's feelings.
"I just hope he's okay..." Omega says nervously.
You look down at the ground. You don't want to make her nervous by telling her about your vision.

After you play a few games with Hunter and Wrecker, you go and get ready for bed. You fall asleep pretty fast after a long day.
You wake up because you hear typing and Tech saying, "Tarkin made him a commander?"
You rub your eyes and walk out to where he is.
"Oh, Y/N. What are you doing up this late?" Tech asks quietly.
"I heard you saying something about Crosshair. Do you know where he is?" You ask.
"Yes. He is on the planet of Weyland. His file doesn't say anything about recent missions. It's strange..." Tech tells you.
"It's probably because they're interrogating him. They're doing some sort of medical treatment on him and asking him questions." You say.
He looks at you with a puzzled look on his face.
"I had a vision about it." You continue.
"That would make sense why his file doesn't have any recent information." Tech thinks out loud.
He looks at you and adds, "You should go to sleep."
"Only if you do." You say, trying to convince him to sleep.
He sighs. "I did find the information about Crosshair... I guess I can go to sleep now."
He turns off the computer and says, "Here, I'll walk you to your room."
He turns on the lights while you get under the covers of your bed.
"Goodnight, Y/N. I promise we'll get all this figured out." Tech says, turning off the lights.
"Night, Tech. Thank you for researching where he is." You say, closing your eyes.
As you fall asleep again, you try to shake off the anxious thoughts about Crosshair, hoping that he's safe out there.
