Bad Reputation: A Bad Batch Fanfiction Story

*Just a quick note about these next chapters! So obviously I've mentioned the thing where Emerie Karr is Omega's sister since that was mentioned in the finale. Since we don't know the full story there, I'm just trying to be creative with it. Just a reminder that my interpretation is most likely not what's canon. :)*

You walk into Crosshair's room. There isn't a lot in his room like there used to be. It's plain and doesn't have very many decorations. It's the opposite of your room and Omega's room. 
He looks over at you. "What?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." You explain.
"I'm fine." He insists. 
You raise an eyebrow at him. "Crosshair, please. Just tell me what's going on. I can help." 
Crosshair avoids eye contact with you. "I just... I feel bad that I left the squad. I'm fine being alone, but I went on a completely different path than you. It wasn't the right thing to do, and I should've realized sooner." 
You hesitate for a moment before responding. You never knew he felt like this. "It's okay, Crosshair. Tech explained to me that we had to respect that you went on a different path than us." 
He closes his eyes for a second. "I'm just... I'm sorry."
"What matters is that you're back, Crosshair. It was worth the wait." You reassure him.

You find Tech and Omega by the Marauder's computer. 
"Have you found anything?" You ask them.
"Not yet. I am still searching through the Imperial archives." Tech states.
You see Omega is still worried. 
"Omega, I'm sure she's just a clone." You say, trying to comfort her. 
She looks away. "I don't know, she could be dangerous."
Hunter looks over at you all from across the room and frowns when he sees Omega. He comes over to her and puts a hand on her shoulder. 
"There's just always something with me. Something I always do." Omega continues, sniffling. 
You stand closer to her. "Omega, I've been there. I know how it feels to feel like you're always the problem. I promise you that you aren't. Echo said he would do it all again for you, and I know all of us believe that." 
"I know that you all care about me. I just hate how the Empire is always trying to capture me. I just want to be free." Omega says, looking at you. 
I just want to be free. You repeat in your mind. It reminds you of when you ran away. You didn't want to cause any problems. 
Dara walks over to all of you. "Trust me, Omega, the Empire wants us all. I'm very lucky they didn't kill me when they had the chance. We're all targets, but we'll make sure you stay safe." 
Omega smiles softly, trying to convince all of you that she's fine.
"I just need some time alone." Omega says quietly, walking into your room.

"What was that about?" Wrecker questions, walking over to all of you. 
"She doesn't like how the Empire always wants to capture her." You share. 
He nods. "Oh." 
You can't blame her. Now that you're training to be a Jedi, you're even more of a target. It makes you nervous to think about. You don't really know Omega's whole story, and you don't know why the Empire wants her so much. 
She's technically an special clone like the rest of the squad, but what about 'Alpha'? Why don't they want him, too? You think.
You look over at the computer and see that Tech has accessed Emerie Karr's file in the Imperial database.
"I have found it." Tech states. 
Hunter turns to you. "Go get Omega." 
You knock on Omega's door. 
"What is it?" She asks. Her voice is shaky.
"Tech's found Emerie Karr on the database!" You tell her, trying to make your tone upbeat. 
She opens the door and follows you.
"I think we may have found some answers..." Tech says as you two approach the computer. 

You all watch Tech scroll through the file. 
"Hmm..." He starts. "From what I can tell, Emerie Karr was created after Omega. It looks like she went through the typical accelerated aging process that we did." 
"So... I'm older than her?" Omega asks. 
"That is how I see it, yes. It makes sense that you are, considering that you are also older than the rest of us." Tech responds.
"I don't know much about this Emerie Karr." Crosshair adds. "I never really saw her around the base. I assumed she was always doing something in one of the labs." 
"If she's not just a soldier like the rest of the clones, she must be enhanced if she's a scientist. She's probably some sort of genetic copy of Omega." Echo says.
"Maybe they want Omega because they want to do some sort of experiment." You say.
Omega looks determined. "I won't let that happen." 
"I suspect Nala Se could be involved in this. It would not surprise me if Hemlock somehow bribed Nala Se by trying to get Omega." Tech speculates. 
Omega looks upset. "But... Nala Se took care of me! Why would she agree to Hemlock's deal?"
Hunter looks her in the eye. "I don't know, kid. We'll find out why." 

After a little while, you go into your room and practice training with your lightsaber. Omega comes into your room.
"Can I watch you train? I want something to distract me." She asks.
"Of course." You say, stepping back a few steps to avoid hurting her with your lightsaber. 
You see Omega getting an idea. She runs into Tech's room and comes back with some mechanical parts.
"Shh..." She whispers. "Don't tell Tech." 
"Omega, what are you doing?" You laugh. 
She holds out some of the parts. "Try lifting these. It'll be like a game." 
You focus your energy on the parts. You lift them with ease since they're so light. 
"Aww, that was too easy!" Omega says. "I'll go get some more." 
You wait as she goes into Tech's room again and gets some heavier parts. She struggles to carry them over. 
"I'm not sure if I can lift these. They seem pretty heavy." You admit as Omega sets the parts down. 
"Just try." Omega says, giving you a smile. 
To your surprise, you're able to lift one of them. 
You grin. "I did it!"
You hear someone walking towards your room. Tech opens the door. He sees you with your hand out, one of the parts in the air.
"Y/N, Omega... What are you doing with my parts?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
"We were, uh... building something." Omega begins.
Tech sighs. "Please be careful..." He walks out of the room.
Omega laughs. "I can't believe he just let us!"
