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

Chapter 61 --They are looking for you --

You had another restful cycle before Tatooine was in sight. You had been flying near it when you met with Rex and the others but after connecting ships you had continued to drift away. Then of course between your attack and avoiding Imperial ships it had become a short journey between your location and the desert planets you planned on visiting.

Thankfully, you were here now, and Savareen was close by. From what Hunter had been sharing with the group they would check out Tatooine for a day or so and then hop over to Savareen. There were also other planets in the vicinity that could be possible homes, but you were starting with these two before you made any further plans.

You make your way through the blankets that were still hung up separating the back of the ship from the computer area, and left Wrecker snoring away on his bunk. Your sure Omega was up in the cockpit with Hunter, just barely able to hear her excited giggles as you made your way into the center of the ship. You had gotten up because you were excited about arriving, but also because you could smell coffee being brewed. You had grown familiar with the scent, and sure enough as you had walked past the blankets you could see Tech brewing a fresh pot with Gonky acting as a table next to him.

"Morning" you say, walking over to him and taking a seat next to him. Tech looked up at your greeting and nodded, his face remaining neutral but his eyes expressing happiness at seeing you. When you sit down next to him, you notice him adjusting his posture to sit up straighter and nearer to you which made you smile. Of course, you were then handed a cup of hot coffee which got your morning off to a good start.

"I take it your rest was adequate?" he asked, carefully ensuring that he did not cause a mess in procuring his own cup of coffee.

"Very satisfactory" you reply, holding the cup in both hands and leaning back against the wall chair. "I will say" you begin "you'll be happy to know I haven't been having nightmares as much. Every now and then it catches me off guard, but I've been just resting and able to sleep through the whole cycle".

"Excellent progress" Tech commented "How common would you say your nightmares now occur?"

"Excluding any force dreams, which I haven't had for a while, I'd say 4 out of 10 cycles?" you guess, taking a cautionary sip of your hot coffee.

Tech paused, thinking over this input he replied "40% is still prevalent but it is an improvement".

"Better then it was" you sigh with relief "it was good to finally view those logs from David." You notice Tech is holding his coffee with his right hand, the other free hand resting on his left leg near you. You transfer your cup to your left hand, and reach over with your right, intertwining your fingers with his saying "Thank you for saving and watching them with me".

Tech looks to you, his face remaining straight but his eyes staring deeply into yours. "You're welcome" he replies.

"Tech" Hunters voice calls from the doorway, and Tech quickly stands up releasing your hand and almost spilling his coffee.

"I'll need you to guide us in, the route down is straight forward, but Omega wanted more directions then I can offer"

You all feel the ship lean and Tech quickly runs up front past Hunter exclaiming "maintain the ships balance please Omega!".

Hunter sighs and you chuckle; "Sorry to break up your coffee" he comments, "but I needed my main pilot back".

You feel your face blush a little "that's alright, I'd also prefer to land smoothly".

Hunter sits down next to you, a chair over from where Tech had been and asks, "I take it you're feeling better?"

"Much better. Still feeling the tail end of the fatigue, but it's been helping me sleep. I'm restless to get back out there with you guys so I'm glad we're landing".
