Penguins of Madagascar but make it Clone Force 99
I like to think this was a mission during the Clone Wars, and a reason that one of their many plans exist

SOBB Week #3, Both Prompts
Prompt: "It's just a scratch,"
Prompt: "Forget I asked,"
Omega has not been living with the Bad Batch long, and is desperate to retain their approval and respect. She tries so hard to avoid acting like a child, especially when she is reminded of the things her brothers have endured.
[Hurt/Comfort, Comic then Text]
Omega had sliced open her leg after tinkering with some parts Tech had left for her. It stung so bad that for a moment she had forgotten herself, and shouted for Echo's help as she stumbled down the hall where she knew he was.
Now she just felt sick.
She was no stranger to injury of course, after assisting Nala Se for so long, but she had never seen the extent of Echo's scars, of his cybernetics. She felt stupid. She felt like a child.
Only a baby would cry and call for help over such a silly injury. Especially when her brothers had made it through what they had without crying like children. She didn't deserve to act like this. She shut her eyes tight and hoped he had somehow missed her tripping into the bunk area of The Marauder.
---------------------
Echo sighed and tugged his sleep shirt all the way over his head when he saw Omega frozen in the doorway, silhouetted by the glowing paths of stars from hyperspace. Blood was running down her leg and pooling onto the floor, and while the cuts were not anything serious, he imagined they must sting.
"Omega," He prompted again, and he knelt down to get eye level with her.
Her cheeks were burning pink and she looked away and shook her head.
"It's just a scratch," She repeated.
Echo took in her teary eyes, her clenched fists, and Hunter's shirt hanging loose off of her tiny shoulders. She was so little, but when she was cheering at a risky dive Tech pulled off or an explosion Wrecker set up, hollering with adrenaline right alongside her brothers, it was so easy to forget that she was just a child. That sometimes she needed to be a child.
None of the clones had ever really experienced that themselves, and for that single moment Echo was overwhelmed with a deep piercing desire to give Omega everything that he and his brothers would never get. His heart hurt knowing that she had already missed out on so much. That she already felt like she had to pretend in order to be loved by her brothers.
He wanted to gather her up in a hug and never let go, repeating over and over that it didn't matter how she acted. Her brothers would always be there for her. That she was allowed to be a child. That she was allowed to just be.
Echo wasn't sure she quite knew how.
"Let's get that cleaned up," he said instead. "It'll be alright,"
She gently took his hand and glanced up at him, the shadows framing her blood-shot eyes and snotty nose, and Echo could not breathe past the love he felt for his little sister. He squeezed her hand and they set off towards the cockpit where the medkit was kept.
"I'm proud of you, you know." He added.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have feelings about this one, if y'all couldn't tell. :')
Hope you enjoyed! Thank you to @summer-of-bad-batch for putting together such a cool project, I can't wait to keep working on it!
SOBB: Week #1 [Both Prompts]
(Post-TBB)
Crosshair struggles with the loss of his hand and the challenges that come with it. He finds solace in a brother who understands.
Prompt: Water Gun Fight
Prompt: It's Not What You Think
I wanted to see if I could fill both prompts! I know this is a bit of a stretch but we've got water on a gun (haha get it cause he's crying) and I felt as though the 'it's not what you think' fit because of the context in which one might assume the gun it going to be used in the present. But instead, Cross is thinking of the past, as well as Echo being the one to comfort him in this moment. I love their funky little relationship and how it grows through the show, but I would have loved more of them being brothers and I think Echo is not the member of the bad batch people would usually think of coming to Cross' aid (hence the second prompt).
I promise next week I'll be a lot more literal with it, sorry!
painted these for my friends who got me into bad batch in the first place when we graduated! pretty proud of them since they’re my first foray back into painting after a long time avoiding traditional :)
(it’s very convenient that there’s five of us and we match of very nicely w each of them )
Echo fell asleep and forgot to take his prosthetics off again (i’m pretending everyone’s happy and safe)
