The Bad Batch: A Heart-breaking Secret - Modern AU(Hunter x Crosshair) Complete!

Chapter 30

A worried Rex waited by the camera’s to watch for the batch, he had called Jesse and explained the situation. Amber and Hera were trying to wake Omega up but nothing was working. Wolffe and Howzer were watching over both sets of twins. Comet and Sinker were looking into the moses basket that held both Naomi and Colton. Ten minutes had passed before two bikes appeared on the screen driving at full speed, Rex gasped seeing Fives. He hadn’t seen the man since Omega’s birthday party, the arc trooper avoided Rex like the plague. The gates opened allowing both bikes and now caught up, police cruiser through. Rex turned away from the screen for a second and then turned back to see the gates firmly shut. Totally unaware he had let someone else in. Rex hurried to the door to let them in, the batch ran through the doors. Kix and Jesse appeared and without thinking about it Kix followed Crosshair into the building. Ahsoka was glaring at the man and watching his movements. 

Hunter reached Omega first, he hovered over her unaware of what to do. Crosshair nudged him slightly to the side allowing himself and Kix to kneel beside the unconscious girl. 

“What happened?” Hunter demanded looking at Rex with so much worry. 

“She was playing with Hera and Amber. They were running around when she slipped and hit her head. She got up claiming she was alright, had a drink of water then she was up again. We told her to take some rest so she did for five minutes…” 

“GET TO THE POINT REX!” Kix growled out. Jesse lay a comforting hand on the medic’s arm. Everyone looked shocked at the medic who looked ready to shoot someone. 

Rex gulped, “She was up and running again when she fell a second time. We thought she did it to scare us but when she didn’t get up we became very worried. So we waited a few minutes but she didn’t move or respond. Howzer checked her over but couldn’t find anything” 

Kix turned to look at his older brother, “No bump or bruise. Her pulse was elevated; whether that was adrenaline, I wouldn’t know. But, she did say she had a nosebleed earlier, she told Wolffe” Howzer explained looking at his partner who nodded. Kix sighed using the actual information to assess the girl. 

Hunter had to prevent himself from pacing and instead found himself wrapped up in Wrecker’s arms. Echo moved closer to the two as the batch found comfort in each other. 

“Crosshair, pass the scanner” Kix muttered, while fiddling with his stethoscope. Crosshair passed over the scan machine that Kix had stolen from the army since civilians shouldn’t have it but then again most people weren’t trained the way Kix was. 

The batch watched as Kix administered a few needles and took care of one of their youngest members. Rex and Ahsoka gulped when Omega started to seize. Kix and Crosshair had to hold her down especially when she woke up. “Father” Her cry made Hunter move forward but Jesse had to restrain him. Omega was delirious. Kix was sweating trying to work out what was wrong until something caught his eye, the cup of water. He grabbed a test kit out of his bag, all of them watched as he tested the water. Jesse came to stand directly behind him and help him when he could. 

Kix swirled the water slightly and watched it confirm his suspicions. “She’s been drugged. There is something in the water, who else has had some” Kix said getting up and walking over to the tap, he noticed the difference in the colour. He looked at it and analysed it. Jesse watched with a smile seeing his husband in his element. 

“We kind of stuck to bottled water,” Howzer said, gesturing at him, Wolffe and the kids. Rex and Ahsoka nodded while Amber gestured to her juice as did Hera. 

The medic just pressed his fingers to his nose hoping to prevent another headache from talking to pointless people. Jesse wrapped an arm around his waist knowing Kix was exhausted. “Are you saying someone drugged my daughter? Is there a way to wake her up?” Hunter asked, his eyes full of fury. Fives smiled watching the batch comfort one of the oldest.
