The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

How I Met Your Mother? (Hunter x Crosshair)

“Father?” 

“Yes Omega” 

“How did you meet Mother?” 

Hunter could only look down at his nine year old and sigh, he knew this question would come up eventually and since his partner was fast asleep on the sofa downstairs after another argument, Hunter found himself being cornered by his daughter who was meant to be in bed. 

“I think that’s a story for another time…” 

“Ah but…” 

“Goodnight Omega” 

“Night father” 

Hunter could only sigh, he had escaped that one with ease, well that’s what he thought until his daughter’s door reopened. 

“Uncle Wrecker, told me you met in a strip club, is that true?” 

Whipping around Hunter frowned to see his smirking daughter, “If I tell you, will you go back to bed?” Hunter murmured, Omega could only nod moving to her bed. Hunter shut the door behind him with a sigh, he was going to kill Wrecker when he next saw him. 

“What did Wrecker exactly say?” Hunter asked out of curiosity. 

“That you went out and came back with more than you bargained for after he inputted you went to a strip club to reunite Uncle Tech with his boyfriend at the time, Uncle Echo”.

Hearing his daughter’s innocent tone, Hunter could only sigh, “Are you sure you want to know this?” Omega could only nod, Hunter smiled thinking back to when he met his soulmate for life. 

“It all started with…” 

Memory…

“I’ve had it with you feeling sorry for yourself, get changed, we are going clubbing!” 

Wrecker threw something at his younger brother’s head, Hunter barely managed to snatch his jacket out of mid-air before Wrecker’s body disappeared. With a sigh Hunter climbed to his feet, he had just had his heart broken by a girl who had been dating him the past two years, she threw it all away by cheating on him all because he wasn’t enough for her. 

“Come on kid, let’s get drunk. Tech, hurry up!” Wrecker shouted, Hunter emerged from his room not even a minute later changed into his going out clothes. Tech appeared after him, he was the youngest out of the triplets and protected by all sides. 

“Where are we going?” Tech asked, he had stuck himself in the middle of his brothers as they entered a club where they met with Wrecker’s fiancee, Gregor. The man is equally crazy as their older brother. Hunter sighed watching Tech come out of his shell as soon as Echo appeared in conversation. 

Using the music to his advantage, Hunter swayed slightly with the music, he wasn’t aware of the eyes on him or the fact that he had caught the attention of a certain man who watched him with a soft smile. Hunter frowned, moving away from the dancefloor over to the bar for another drink, he went to pay when the bartender mentioned that it had been paid for. Hunter never understood until a flash of blond had Hunter turning to see a slim figure walking towards the exit. 

“Hunter! Come! Fives has invited us to his club! They are having a show!” Wrecker called out to his brother who was dragged along for the hell of it, Hunter gulped when he realised what type of club it was. A strip club. He froze up slightly seeing his ex dancing on stage, she ignored him as she danced her way to who she had cheated on Hunter with. 

His breath caught up to him as he struggled to take in a breath, he stumbled into the restroom and froze washing his face. He continued to struggle to breathe when another individual entered and placed a hand against the back of his neck grounding him in a sense, when his vision returned. All Hunter got was a glimpse of blond hair and concerned amber eyes staring at him.
