reunion

You know it actually makes complete sense that Echo isn't living with Rex, Wolffe and Gregor by the time Rebels comes around.

Echo is the kind of guy who sniffs multicoloured popcorn and pulls this face when offered Wookie soup.

He saw they were eating worm for dinner and noped the fuck out

everyone seems to forget that it's his loss too

Never gonna get over the fact that Captain Rex spent FOUR episodes with The Bad Batch, during which time:

Tech nearly wipes out a runway construction crew, Tokyo Drift style

Crosshair picks 3 separate fights with regs, including Rex himself (and Rex socks him in the face for it)

Hunter literally looks Rex in the face after receiving orders and says “ehhh yeah no” and then proceeds to charge an approaching enemy squadron head on

Wrecker begs to explode just about every single building they lay eyes on

Hunter confesses to a Jedi general that he’s never submitted a single report in his life

Hunter also goes for a joyride by dangling from the foot of a giant winged beast from a single rappelling line

Tech later convinces them all to jump through the air onto the backs of said winged beasts in the middle of heavy enemy fire after summoning them with his self-made Animal Sound Spotify

Wrecker destroys like 100 battle droids in 3.5 seconds with his bare hands and laughs like a maniac the entire time

Crosshair, rather than let himself be shown up by Wrecker, destroys like 1/6 of the enemy forces with tiny hand mirrors and a single laser shot

The entire batch is sassing each other THE ENTIRE TIME (“don’t worry, Wrecker, I’LL hold your hand” “yeah…it’s a lift” “me and the boys will tag along, just to say I told you so”)

And after all of that, Rex looked at Echo and was like “yeah I think we’ve found your new home” and Echo was just like 😍😍

To be fair, he shot at her first, so Omega’s forced to snipe him a few hours later.

why are all of em so fine

"Whatever we want, kid...Whatever we want"

i’m a twin. i had a brother.

Omega: Get out of my room, Wrecker!

Wrecker: *standing just outside the doorframe* I'm not in your room!

Omega: HUNTER-

Wrecker: Hey! No fair! You can't just call Hunter every time you want to get your way!

Omega: Fine.

Omega:

Omega: CROSSHAIR-

Wrecker: *immediately running away* That's so much worse and you know it!

I love the thought of Omega talking about her brothers in the rebellion but no one knows that she's talking about 5 different people and they all think it's just one single super-soldier jack-and-master-of-all-trades older brother and Omega, Hera, and Rex find it too funny to ever correct them.

"Wow, Omega, who taught you to fly like that!?" "My brother! He also taught me that turning manoeuvre that scared the daylights out of Rex!" "Omega, you were really great in that recon mission, how did you learn how to sneak around like that?" "My brother taught me! He did stuff like that all the time when he was younger." "Kriff, Omega, we nearly all died! How did you know how to diffuse the bomb!?" "My brother was a demolitions expert, he showed me a few things!" "The target was five klicks away, Omega, how on Alderaan did you manage to hit it!?" "Oh, it's nothing really. My brother taught me how to snipe, you should've seen him back in the day!" "I thought we were done for when they took our blasters. You really saved us, Omega. I had no idea you were so good at hand-to-hand combat!" "Yeah, my brother insisted on training me all the time. I'm glad it came in handy!" Later, after Omega has left for a mission "Okay, we all agree to never, ever, EVER piss off Omega unless we want her to send her apparently god-like brother who apparently has expertise in literally every field after us?" "Agreed." "Seconded" "Thirded"

*Echo and Tech devising battle strategies at 2am on Echo’s first night with the batch*

Echo: —and then, that’s when we would use the cannon to launch wrecker straight into the wall—

Tech: —yes, and at the same time, you and Hunter can be on either side rigging the explosives—

Echo: —which Crosshair will shoot from the other side of the battlefield from on top of the Rancor that we kidnapped earlier—

Hunter: *whispers to Crosshair* this might have been a bad idea.

Crosshair: *sips his coffee* I, myself, have always wanted to ride a rancor.

Tech gets some new pouches.
