Yeah Pretty Much

yeah pretty much

The Bad Batch go to the Zoo

Omega

Runs around, looking at all the animals. She loves the tropical birds, is a bit nervous about the huge venomous snake, and really wants to pet the lions

She asks Hunter and Echo for every snack she sees - she wants to try everything. Echo insists everything is too expensive (he scoffs at the prices) When Echo is distracted by Tech info dumping, Hunter lets her and Wrecker get cotton candy

She asks Tech dozens of questions about each animal, which he is happy to answer. When he doesn't know the answer, he adds it to a list of topics for Omega to learn about in her studies

Crosshair helps her pet a giraffe (don't ask)

Hunter

He is obsessed with the chameleon and, oddly enough, the armadillos (he thinks they're cute when they run).

The smells and noise in some of the areas overwhelms him and he spends most of the time staying away from these smells. His brothers understand when he has to step away from an exhibit.

Wrecker

He loves to see all of the animals, although it makes him sad that they're all in cages.

He insists he made friends with a gorilla (after talking to it and copying it's movements)

He now wants a bear as a pet, which both Hunter and Echo said no to and Tech strongly advised against. Crosshair comes up to him later and tells him he can get him a bear cub...for a price. Wrecker can't tell if Crosshair's kidding or not. He's not

Echo

Echo spends most of the time making sure no one wanders off and gets lost. In the end, he puts a tracker on Tech's datapad and the back of Omega's shirt (for the two who get lost the easiest).

He likes the giraffes best and thinks the printing on them is fascinating.

Tech

He spends most of his time taking notes of the different animals he sees and answering Omega's questions.

He loves all of the different fact sheets on the exhibits, but notices that they are often very incomplete. He tries to locate a zookeeper to complain about the discrepancies, but Hunter doesn't let him.

He likes to stop and watch the animals, though he knows this is not their natural habitat. He had to get dragged away from the monkey exhibit (they are just so much like humans) and the octopus exhibit (they are such intelligent creatures).

Crosshair

He lets Tech info dump him about the animals without much complaint. He's the one who has to drag Tech away so that they can see more than one animal in each area and so they can keep up with Omega (who's excited to see everything)

He pretends to not enjoy himself, but lets Omega drag him along to each exhibit and even gives her the occasional smile.

Omega (with the help of Wrecker) drags him onto the carousel and makes him ride it. After that he is cranky and ready to leave.

Batcher

She was allowed in because she is a certified emotional support service dog (for the whole batch).

She loves all the interesting new smells and runs along, often with Omega, but sometimes with Echo or Hunter.

He needs all the hugs dang it!!!

I can’t get over how for a good chunk of Season 3 Crosshair is trying to convince Omega, his brothers, and himself that he’s a bad guy and should be left behind, allowed to sacrifice himself, etc. and the whole time all anyone is seeing is this:

“Whatcha doin’ there Meg?” Hunter asked as he crossed his arms and watched his twelve and a half year old sister fill up what seemed to be a water gun from the kitchen sink. That wasn’t really a strange sight seeing as Fives got her those last month when he, Echo, and Rex visited. She and Fives spent almost all weekend playing with the new toys and no one was safe from the chaos that was unleashed.

The truly strange sight was her dressed in a gray tank top with camo pants and one his bandanas wrapped around her forehead. Her face seemed to be smeared with mud and dirt, four lines across her face as if she did it with her own fingers. Thankfully that was the only place he saw any, with the rest of her being mostly clean. In addition to the gun in her hand, she had another one strapped to her back

“I’m preparing to hunt down Crosshair,” Omega answered casually, as if you asked her what time it was.

It had been six months since Crosshair left the Empire and rejoined his family in their relatively new home. It had been a rocky start for all of them, especially Hunter and Crosshair, but like always they learned and adapted. More often than not, it felt like Cross never left. Omega definitely loved having another brother to do stuff with.

“Uh huh.” Hunter leaned against the counter as he watched her fill up two refillable bottles that could be exchanged when her water gun ran out. Fives picked out a nice set.

“Do I want to know what he did to incur your wrath?”

She leveled him with a glare that made the hairs stand on the back of his neck.

“He ate my leftovers.” With that, she ran out the backdoor to do Maker knows what. Hunter decided it would be best if he stayed out of this fight.

An hour or so later, he heard the tell-tell sign of Crosshair’s car coming into the driveway. Hunter was slightly surprised to hear his brother open the door and watch him walk into the living room completely dry. Hunter would have figured Omega would have attacked as soon as Cross got home, which made him only more terrified of what she had planned. Echo and Tech were horrible influences.

“Why are you so surprised to see me?” Crosshair asked, pulling Hunter away from the horrors.

“No reason,” he dodged, “On an unrelated note, did you eat Omega’s leftovers?”

“Depends. Were they in a to-go box?” Hunter nodded. “Then yeah. Took it with me for lunch. How’d you know?”

“I didn’t. Omega did and she’s out for revenge.”

Crosshair scoffed. Oh boy.

“What’s the worst she could do? Give me the silent treatment?”

“I promise you, it’s not what you think.”

Crosshair looked warilly at Hunter before he headed upstairs to his bedroom. Hunter was just about to settle back into watching whatever show was on when a yowl made him jump. It came from Crosshair’s room. Terrified, Hunter ran as fast as he could, only to find Crosshair tensed up at his bedroom door, a wet spot directly in the middle of his shirt. When Hunter peeked inside his brother’s room, he found none other than his sister stradling the open window, water gun aimed toward Crosshair. Her mouth was set into a viscous smirk at successfully catching her brother off guard. What truly concerned Hunter though, was that she was on the window when he never heard her come back in.

“Omega!” he exclaimed, “How did you get there?!”

“I climbed the lattice to the roof,” she shrugged. The window would already be unlocked because Crosshair liked to sometimes sit on the roof of the back porch, so it really did make the best way to sneak up on him.

“You’ll pay for that,” Crosshair spat.

“I look forward to it,” Omega grinned, “You’ll find your weapon on your bed. See you in the backyard in five.”

With that, she climbed off the wind and ran back over to the lattice. Crosshair snatched the water gun and followed her out the window. Hunter watched for a moment before shutting the window, silently telling himself to warn Tech and Wrecker away from the backyard.
