Eldritch Echo
So. I haven't seen the Bad Batch and don't really intend to, but I have read some fics (please do not take that as me saying that's the same as understanding the story) and between that and my thoughts of eldritch stuff in Star Wars and a cool art piece I came across that I think was referencing something I don't have the context for, I started wondering what it'd look like if of the Bad Batch, Echo was the only eldritch/cryptid/vampire/otherwise not human one. NOT because of the Techno Union, but because of something that happened sooner OR he'd always been like that. And I might put a bit of that in my vampire clones thing but I was thinking eldritch and I ended up writing a thing. So. Enjoy:
***********
Crosshair’s willing to admit he doesn’t dislike Echo. He respects the guy’s resilience and his willingness to go with the flow, which is necessary for someone working with their team, even as he rolls his eyes at Echo’s tendency to twitch at the state of their ship and his reluctance to drop the “sir” when talking to Hunter. More than that Echo has zero qualms about sassing him if Crosshair picks a fight and it’s a lot of fun to rile him up.
That said. Echo is also really freaking weird.
Crosshair is very observant, between his eyesight, his role on the team, and his training he had to be and either something’s very off about Echo or he’s started hallucinating because he keeps seeing things that don’t make sense. Not for a reg and not for a cyborg.
He explains this the Hunter once, trying to see if he’s noticed anything, and Hunter frowns. “Can you give me an example?”
“His eyes for one.”
Hunter blinked. “What?”
“We all know what most trooper’s eyes look like. And we’ve seen some variations. But they don’t change color. I’ve seen his eyes go golden or violet, and it wasn’t the lighting.”
“You’re sure?”
“Yes I’m sure what do you take me for?” Crosshair snapped. “Look. Next time we’re on a sunny planet. Take a look at his shadow. It doesn’t match him at all. I’ve seen it prowling around him like a tooka without him or a light source moving. It doesn’t look like him either. And remember that time we were sparring and he panicked and bit me? I asked Tech, the Techno Union didn’t do anything to his teeth, but I know what bitemarks look like and that was not it.”
Hunter sighed. “I’ll pay attention but-” He paused. “Huh.”
“What?”
“It might not be anything.” He replies and only knowing that he’s getting to the point keeps Crosshair from interrupting. “But remember how I told you guys that people smell like animals? They’re distinct from each other, and you know I can’t describe it cause I tried to describe you guys, but it’s not like they smell like flowers or old books or whatever people like to think they’d smell like unless they’re wearing a scent. Echo, he doesn’t smell like a trooper. I just never thought about it for some reason.”
“And what does he smell like?”
Hunter frowned as he tried to find the words. “Well. He does smell a bit like a trooper and a bit metallic. But he also smells like, what’s was the spice in that cake you liked so much? The one we found on that mission with the weird vultures?”
Crosshair hummed. That had been a really freaking good cake. “The lady said it was a cardamon cream cake. So he smells like cardamon?”
“Cardamon and lilies and wet dirt is the best way I can describe it and I know it’s not his soap cause he uses the same stuff as the rest of us. So yeah. I guess I’ll pay attention.”
Two days later Crosshair gets confirmation that something’s up in a way he did not expect.
Because walking around in the dark in the middle of the night is his job so it’s already odd to find Echo leaning against the cabinet in their ship’s tiny kitchen in the pitch dark. “You’re going to trip reg.” Crosshair says and leans over to get the lights when Echo looks up.
And twelve pairs of golden violet eyes meet Crosshair’s.
He staggers back, trips over something, falls. “Crosshair!” Echo grabs his hand, pulling him up, then scrambles for the lights as if he forgot they might be necessary and Crosshair yelps as the light hits his eyes.
He blames that and the shock for blurting out; “What the hell are you Echo?”
Echo blinks, looking hurt. “I’m a trooper. Like you all.”
“Troopers don’t have twenty-four freaking eyes.” Crosshair hissed. They aren’t there now, he’s got 2 brown eyes in the exact same shade of brown nearly every trooper has, but Crosshair knows what he saw. He knows what he’s been seeing.
Echo tilts his head. And he grins. It’s a smile Crosshair’s seen before, whenever Echo’s about to respond to his taunts with something cutting and clever, part “take that” and part inviting him to share the joke. There’s nothing off about that smile save for that it’s mirrored in Echo’s shadow, splayed against the cabinets behind him too dark for their lights.
“The Bad Batch.” Echo muses, like there’s a joke Crosshair hasn’t caught yet, and he’s never had a reason to call Echo dangerous even when he didn’t trust him, but he’s starting to feel cornered even though Echo hasn’t moved. “You think you’re the only strange ones. ‘Don’t worry Rex, we know how to handle a reg.’ Never mind that Torrent was always a little crazy, or it used to be. Never mind that I was an ARC and a damn good one, and we’re all more than competent. And I appreciate what you all did, in welcoming me into the squad, I appreciate it more than I can say, and I do really like you guys, but you are so freaking cocky. So certain you can handle anything. And to be fair you’re damn good at your job, but sometimes it’s annoying. So.” He grins that taunting grin again. “You want to know what the reg’s deal is? Figure it out.”
He leaves. His grinning shadow lingers a moment before following. Crosshair stares.
And then decides that a glass of water isn’t gonna cut it and goes for the stash of moonshine.

Understanding (Crosshair x Reader)
Premise: ...If Lucasfilm really is taking the Fanboys' Way Out (FWO) and un-aliving everybody, this can be canon instead. If it isn't, this can still be considered canon. Either way, here's a tale of two Clones enjoying a home-cooked meal before deciding their next move, and I hope you like it as much as I do.
No Pressure Tags: @skellymom @momojedi @mysticalgalaxysalad @intrepidmare @moonstrider9904 and...anybody else internally screaming about that S3 footage/interviews. (P.S. :: The "Doctor" goes or I do!
Special Credits: Divider made by @stars-n-spice ! ✌💗

🩶 when you first hear the frantic knocks, you're soon met with the shock of your life.
🩶 it's an old man and a tiny blonde girl--a girl and her ailing grandfather, you assume, and both of them looking like they just escaped the psych ward.
🩶 and wouldn't you know it, they now need you to help them hide.
🩶 it's not until you rush them both inside, however, that you get your next shock--she introduces them both as Clones once taken prisoner by the Empire, and surprise...she actually counts as the firstborn of the family.
🩶 this means that...you're suddenly faced with two runaways from "The Nightmare Clinic", and you can either be the understanding counselor in this little movie, or the adult bully that just doesn't understand.
🩶 however, it takes just one look from the "geezer"--aka Crosshair, as the girl introduces him--to get you to choose the understanding counselor role.
🩶 for now, you're all too eager to comply...but not without noticing something protruding from the man's head. something that's small, thin, and that almost looks like a bone shard or other solid material.
🩶 something that could end up causing him, if not also the girl, a great deal of pain if it's not taken care of.
🩶 you're careful to save that idea for later, though, because there might be, well...more important things to look into first. things that could possibly benefit all three of you, as long as you do said things correctly.
🩶 this means that your guests are about to enjoy something other than hospital food, especially if you have anything to do with it. possibly the "old man" in particular, as he's looking a lot more dead on his feet than the girl ever could.
🩶 nevertheless, in less than an hour, all three of you get the chance to enjoy a hot meal together.
🩶 whoever's chasing them, whoever's due to come banging upon your door next, none of you know. that's a question best left unspoken as you serve each of your guests your best corn chowder, nice and hot with at least one roll on the side.
🩶 whatever it takes to lighten the tense feelings in this room, and help your new little group plan its next few steps.
🩶 you're careful to serve the girl, aka Omega, the first bowl. you might need to ask her a long list of questions soon, and for that, you need to help her trust you.
🩶 when it's Crosshair's turn, however...one of you makes the mistake of letting your hands touch, and then both of you are pulling away in haste, looking somewhat like two youngsters at your first dance.
🩶 in other words, you're attempting to play it cool and, at the same time, hope that Omega hasn't noticed a thing...but then, you just happen to hear the girl start to giggle.
🩶 suddenly, that's when you realize it's going to be a very, very long day...and if this kid has her way, which she probably will...you're never gonna hear the end of it.
🩶 Force Save Us All.

Crosshair and CX-2
Crosshair’s motivation and display of fear this season isn’t not lining up for me.
Yes, his looming guilt from season one and two have him throwing himself in the line of fire a lot. He feels he doesn’t deserve redemption.
Yes. He was tortured, and put through the CX program which failed but still left him at the mercy of Tantiss and Hemlock.
But basically every episode that has CX-2 coming after Omega and the batch, Crosshair is throwing himself into the path of convergence every time. Extraction and Calvary has Arrived (two times in each), cross is doing everything in his power to keep them separated. Like he knows something that no one else does.
Crosshair’s PTSD can absolutely be correlated to his torture, but in addition what if it’s also connected to losing his brother to the empire’s brainwashing. Hemlock and his terrible methods taking advantage of the smartest and one of the most capable soldiers, his brother who can think his way out of anything who he knows never supported the corruption of the authorities above them, be turned into someone he doesn’t recognize. That fear growing to expand the others. If tech can be reprogrammed, just because Crosshair himself was in the clear doesn’t mean his other brothers are not. We focus on the shot of the four evil batch, and crosshair doesn’t waste any time demanding the others retreat before him. He’s constantly placing himself as a barrier between CX-2 specifically, like we aren’t even looking at Hemlock here.

The big bad scientist that created these guys, that executed Crosshair’s torture for information. But the frame focuses in on CX-2 once again, his hand starts shaking worse and then cuts to Cross immediately demanding that the others retreat. Yes. He’s trying to save his brothers like he knows he failed in the past, but this is just too pointed. Especially with their waterfall fight, crosshair really took that beating, nearly drowning. When they crash down the first waterfall it SO feels like crosshair is just operating on the defensive. Like the knowledge that CX-2 is away from the batch, he’s not fighting as aggressively, the offense is over with.
Dude, I know I joined late in the game. The first episode I was able to watch live for season 3 was Juggernaut. I had finally caught up from s1-2 in like lil over a week. But I saw people spotlighting the moment in extraction where CX-2 is drowning crosshair and cross stops hitting his arm. Instead he grabs it, it like one does when they tap out in sports and wrestling. Literally had my lil brain running in circles fully sold on the idea that cross KNOWS who CX-2 is.
Side note: I am running on like 4? 3 hours of sleep from this morning. But I think i would enjoyed the concept of introducing this dark mirror of the bad batch at the start of the season and the bad discover that they are clones which were reprogrammed on Tantiss. Having the season revolving around saving these guys despite how far gone they appear. Of recruiting some of them to help free Tantiss prisoners. And working with Rex would just naturally be apart of it. Of emphasizing the theme of not giving up on your family, of listening to Omega’s faith in her brothers and in others

“Oh so now I’m ‘bad’ just because I’ve done bad things in the past, continue doing so in the present, and will likely do so in the future?”

Hunter *annoyed*: Why are you bothering me?!!?
Crosshair *who has been following Hunter like a persistent shadow*: I am simply gracing you with my presence Hunter.
Hunter *throws his hands up in frustration and walks away (quickly)*: Aaarghg!!!
Crosshair *follows with a smug look*
Echo *raises an eyebrow*: Why is Crosshair-
Tech *fiddling with the console*: Hunter told Crosshair to stop bothering Wrecker, it appears that he has decided to bother Hunter instead.
Wrecker *beaming*: He's been following him since yesterday!
