The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

Taxi Service (Hunter x Crosshair)

The weather never seemed so miserable and it didn't look like it was easing up so when a man and his six year old daughter stood under a brolly trying to flag down a taxi, it even seemed worse especially when they were ignored. Huddling his daughter into his arms, he juggled with his umbrella and signalling a taxi only to sigh as none stopped. He was about to give up when one did. 

"Need a lift?" 

"Yes please" Hunter said with a smile to the man who already had passengers but we're instead Hunter's brothers who had brought a taxi to him. 

"Jump in" Wrecker's voice had Hunter climbing in the back with his daughter in between him and his youngest brother Tech, the man smiling while Wrecker sat up front with a silver haired man who was actually holding Wrecker's hand. 

"Hunter this is Crosshair, my boyfriend" Wrecker introduced the driver who connected eyes with him in the mirror. 

"Have you told Fives that?" Tech teased only for Wrecker to pout letting go of Crosshairs hand. Hunter took notice of the driver's relieved sigh as he drove down the dirty streets of Kamino. 

"Hardy Har, Fives is my husband. Can't a guy joke around here?" Wrecker teased only for Hunter to reach forward and whack him which had little Omega giggling.

"Excuse me Mr Driver?" 

Crosshair looked at his mirror to catch Omega's eyes, she smiled at him, "Yes?" His tone was nothing but smooth and calm, which had Hunter blushing slightly. 

"Please can we listen to the music?" Omega asked in the politest tone possible. 

"That would depend" 

"On what?" Omega detected the humour. 

"Whether your father would like to listen to Wreckers awful singing" Crosshair teased, Hunter smirked knowing that Wrecker obviously knew Crosshair personally, his bet was on from work. 

"Hey! Cross no fair, I'm telling Fives!" Wrecker shoved Crosshair gently, the man didn't say anything catching Hunter's eyes in the mirror, the smoky look around Crosshairs was making Hunter blush, he coughed to clear it up. 

"I don't mind as long as he's not loud. We have had enough headaches for today" Hunter spoke in a baritone smoothing calm tone which had Crosshair looking away. It would seem two could play at that game, Hunter thought as the radio came on and the drive was filled with music. Tech was busy on his phone typing to someone, Hunter's money was on Echo, his brother's husband. 

"Hey, wonder what's going on up there?" Wrecker wondered, spotting what looked like builders were shouting at a few cars. Crosshair never said anything but he did keep an eye on the ones causing disruption. 

His hands tightened on his steering wheel when a gang of troubled individuals started banging on the cars nearby and even stopped at his own. Crosshair kept his face impassive especially when one knocked on the driver's window. 

"Don't say anything, let me handle this" Crosshair warned them all, his passengers nodding as he locked the doors but opened his window only to greet a smirking man. 

"Can I help you?" Crosshair asked only for the man to pull a gun on him. Crosshair never flinched but those in the car did, Hunter immediately covered his daughter and alerted Tech who flinched away from the window of the car when another individual appeared.

"Yeah, I want your ride. Step out now" The man said, Crosshair only nodded climbing out of the car only to shut the door behind him and for the window to go back up as he locked it remotely.
