--Building a New life --Tech x Reader Bad Batch

Chapter 40 -- Sure, easy in, easy out.--

The stagnant time on board the Havoc Marauder is over, as well as your elegant and boring hours on Coruscant. You are officially back to being a mercenary and have moved entirely onto the Marauder with the Bad Batch. Although the main thing on your mind this entire time has been Tech.

Ever since he danced and talked with you on Numidian Prime, which had admittedly been two days ago, you had been thinking and reliving those emotions nonstop. You were trying not to be silly, but it was so easy to enjoy how happy you felt. The night terrors had abated and they were no match for the overwhelming rush of excitement you got when you rolled off your bunk and came up to the front to see Tech already up and waiting for you.

Suffice to say it was obvious to the rest onboard that a conversation had been had and you and Tech were on good terms again. Hunter of course knew that the situation was even better then perceived because you AND Tech had heighted positivity flowing off of each other almost in similar patterns.

The excitement would go up and down but there was a firm happiness and joy that had been established. Tech himself was quite satisfied with the emotional results of the conversation over the last two days and would note that the open communication was a success. Now he could just enjoy being around you, especially since he had personally discovered that was what he wanted to do.

For Kiros you had taken a more roundabout route in order to avoid detection and allow for Rex and Echo to meet and transfer to a different ship. Rex hadn't mentioned too much about this ship to the others but supposedly it was a mining vessel they had repurposed to help infiltrate other spacecraft. Your mission had begun to feel stressful as you thought about some of the factors at stake but Hunter was helping everyone remain focused and calm by keeping track of the vessel transporting the clones you were going to rescue.

Currently you were sitting in Echos usual chair, the co-pilot's seat on Tech's right. Tech already had the ship on course for the rondevu point near Kiros and you were waiting for Rex and his crew to arrive. Hunter had been the co-pilot for a bit but he had gestured for you to take his seat once you had gotten on course.

No one had mentioned anything to you directly but considering that Echo had gone with Rex you knew that there would be a new need for a co-pilot and that role would be filled by you and/or Hunter. Thus far you had done your best to simply observe and look for similarities between this ship and your own but you knew you would still need some time before you felt comfortable co-piloting next to Tech.

"They are en route" you heard Hunters voice say as he stepped through the hallway into the cockpit area where you and Tech were seated. Tech pulled up something on his holopad "by the looks of it" he commented adjusting his goggles " They are going to be able to land before our second ship reaches the rondevu".

"Should we try to intercept?" you ask tentatively looking between the two men.

Tech furrowed his brow and Hunter looked thoughtful as he replied "Rex had not emphasized the urgency for this rescue, and I do not think it would be worth the risk to pursue getting them out".

"Correct" Tech added on "There is simply not enough information for us to determine that course of action".

You nod, understanding their thought process but hear Omegas voice joining in as she asked "Why aren't we trying to save them? What if they hurt them once they are taken onto the station?"

"It is unlikely that will occur" Tech replied, turning to speak with Omega who had stepped past Hunter.

"We want to make sure this will be a success" Hunter explained "so we need to choose our plan wisely".
