For all my Techies currently hurting. Here's a comfort fanfic for you all. CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 FINAL. YOUVE BEEN WARNED.
“WRECKER, GET HIM ON BOARD!” Hunter screams as he continued shooting at the other cart. Wrong. It had all gone wrong. The plan to get Crosshairs location from Hemlocks ship had gone into absolute chaos. Your only escape route was damaged, leaving you all dangling from the railway line for your lives as you were being shot at from all sides.
Tech had just regained power to the carts but you and now come under fire from Imperial ships set on destroying you at all cost. You continued shooting the troopers, trying to give as much cover so Tech could get back on board safely and you could escape.Wrecker moves forward towards the second cart. You following closely behind. Aiming to get your boy back on board in one piece. However Wreckers weight caused it to shift away from the platform.
“Don’t. Any shift in weight could bring both cars down” Tech screams from below. A horrid feeling in your gut started churning. You squatted down next to Wrecker and looked down to Tech
“Tech you have to hurry. The ships are doubling around” you plead into your Comm at him.
“I am trying to Mesh’la” Tech grunts back as he pulls himself further up the line. The ships bore down once again on your car. Guns firing at the lines desperately trying to hold your lives in the balance.
“Theres no time, you must sever the connection hinges. NOW!” Tech screams again. Your blood turned into ice at his words. He wasn’t seriously thinking you’d do that. Wrecker grunted with effort as he held into the support beams holding the cars together.
“No” Omega called out. Little hands reaching out as if to grab him.
“Like hell we are Tech, Theres still time, you have to hurry” you followed, pleading with him. Tears starting to fill your eyes.
“Not until your up here” Wrecker groaned in effort.
“There is no time Wrecker. Plan 99” Techs voice wasn’t like his usual tone. It sounded sad. Almost regretful.
“What’s plan 99” Comms turned deathly silent as you asked the question. No one responded, and it felt like your heart was going to stop.
“Tech” you called to him. He didn’t respond
“Don’t you do it Tech.” Wrecked pleads to his brother.
“Wrecker what does he mean Plan 99. What is that, WRECKER ANSWER ME. TECH GET UP HERE NOW” You shout to the man. Unable to hold back tears anymore.
“When have we ever followed orders Wrecker. I’m sorry Yn. My Cyar’ika. I hope you will forgive me my love” Techs voice quivers as he raises his gun to the hinge. No. No he wouldn’t. He can’t. Not when you’d still have to save Crosshair. Not after you finally found a place to settle down. He couldn’t throw that away
“TECH NO DONT YOU DARE, I CANT LOSE YOU” you scream through a sob.
Tech fired the shot. Wrecker and Omega started screaming.
“TECHHHH” you cried as you watched his body descend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your body jolts up in bed. Sweat pouring off every inch of your body. Breathing a mix of laboured sobs that you couldn’t control. Your eyes releasing wells of tears streaking down your soaking cheeks. The spot in bed beside you cold as ice. Your chest suddenly became tight. Like it was strangling your lungs out of the air you could get from your erratic breathing.
A harsh whimper escapes your mouth as you ball your finger in your hair, squeezing and pulling the life out of it. You couldn’t stop your body from trembling. You attempted to take in a breath again. But it only came out as a wheeze. You couldn’t breath. The door to your room slammed open but your eyes were to blurred with tears to see who it was
“Someone go get him. She’s having a panic attack” a deep voice called close by. But you weren’t paying much attention. Worried voices murmured around you. Weight shifted on the bed in front of you.
“Yn you need to calm down and breath for me” a voice calmly speaks as two warm gentle hands find your shoulders.
“C-C-Can’t-“ you struggle to speak, removing your hands from your hair to your chest. Chest getting tighter with each growing moment.
“Mesh’la look at me” You direct your eyes in the direction of the voice. A thumb brushed away your tear filled eyes to see gentle brown ones encased in familiar circular frames. Your eyes widened
No it couldn’t be.
“T-T-T-“
“Yes my love I’m here. I’m alright. It was just a nightmare Cyar’ika” the man replied softly. Techs body sat in front of you. Looking a tiny bit bruised but otherwise here... Alive. A heart retching sob escapes as you dove into his chest. Throwing your arms around him and began crying heavily into his chest, clenching onto the back of his blacks like a lifeline. Alive. He was alive.
“Shhhh. I’ve got you. I’ve got you.” His arms enveloped your shaking body. Drawing you as close as he possibly could, keeping a tight grip on you as his hand clasps the back of your head.
“I saw you fall Tech. You sacrificed yourself to save us. It felt so real” you sob into him. Dampening his blacks. His hand strokes its way through your hair comfortingly.
“I know Mesh’la. I’m so incredibly sorry for putting you in that situation. I’ve caused you so much pain” Tech squeezed in response. In reality. Tech didn’t fall down that abyss. But ended up catching himself by shooting another line at the other cart. Saving him from the fatal fall. However that didn’t stop the nightmares from plaguing your mind for all the worse outcomes possible.
You sat in each other’s embrace for a while. Only moving once your breathing had returned to a suitable level. A yawn snunk its way out of you. Prompting Tech you lay you back down with your body still stuck securely to his chest. His hands began running your back lovingly in attempts to further sooth you. Your ear placed over his heart. Listening to its steady beating further proving he was real. That he was safe.
“You can sleep now Yn. I will still be here when you wake up my love. I’m not going anywhere. Not for a while.” Tech whispers. You manoeuvre your head up to look at him
“You promise, you promise your not where going anywhere, that you’ll be safe on missions. That you’ll always come back to me Tech” you quietly whimper again. He shushes you gently, keeping that tight grip on you as he continues to stroke your back.
“I will try everything in my power Yn. I will always come back to you. Now lets go back to bed Mesh’la, you haven’t been sleeping well and you need it” Techs normal voice speaks next. You hold onto his body. Letting the warmth of him sooth you back into sleep.
Hope you all enjoyed this. More soon to come.
