Well. I wanted to share a pic on ao3 and i need the url. So here tbb tumblr. Takes place after s3e4. Cross sees tech’s goggles for the first time :(

Cross becoming Pabus stray collector is a hc i had even before he became Batchers dad. He also Strikes me as a parrot guy

okay but I'm giggling so hard over the fact that this little tooka over there looks like this little guy I made over a year ago

what's more he was Crosshair's bitchy pet in one of my AUs

Feeling some emotions regarding them

"Clone Force 99 died with Tech"

which means

Crosshair doesn't think Clone Force 99 died when he left

He knows they went on without him

For a long time

Crosshair's character in TBB honestly makes a lot of sense when looking back at CW. He and his brothers have such an implicit trust in each other (something we saw in "Into the Breach"). With the exception of Cody, Crosshair says "we don't usually work with regs." The Batch is literally Cross' ride or die and it's not surprising he expresses a sense of superiority in S1 of TBB. He literally spends all his time with his brothers who show off just as much as he does. And when Rex says to leave Cody in Kix's care, Crosshair voices his concern. From the very beginning, loyalty is something he highly values.

Every single time Crosshair opens his mouth and makes a rude comment, Wrecker always comes in to defend him. I can imagine Crosshair just getting so comfortable with making comments because he knows that his brothers will defend him. When he falls from the pipe on Skako Minor, Wrecker doesn't hesitate to jump after him. Cross also trusts Wrecker to not let him fall when they jump on to the Keeradaks.

Crosshair is also very quiet and observational. He's the first to notice danger and the one to hang back to be the lookout. The amount of faith his brothers have in his abilities probably means so much to him.

Now, imagine you're Crosshair in TBB S1. Your squad, who've been your ride or die since day 1, leaves you behind and you don't know why. That implicit trust that was once there is gone. That loyalty you once thought you had didn't matter apparently. But you still want them to come back because of how tight knit your bond used to be. Not defending his choices, but I bet that's what was going on inside his head.

No but it's...

the way they naturally fall into eachother's roles when the other isn't there.

the instinctual head-tilt when Crosshair stabilized his rifle on Tech's shoulder, as if they'd done it a thousand times before.

It's the fact that Tech clearly told Phee all about his brother.

It's the sad, fond smile on Crosshair's face when Omega said Tech made her memorize all the plans ("of course he did").

It's the way Tech knew exactly where to look for that mirror.

yeah. he definitely listened to Tech the most.

:HUNTER!!!! ArE yOu listening!?!?! You're going in the wrong direction for the 4th time!!!!!
