What was the War Like?
So I haven't written any fanfiction of any kind in a LONG time. This might be a bit unpolished. Also I don't have much experience with Tumblr formatting. CW: PTSD, war ------ "Tech, what was the war like?â Omega asked the clone as she handed him a tool. They were having problems with the engine of the Marauder after their latest mission for Cid. âI told you before Omega, it was a primary mission objective, comprised of battles on various fronts.â Omega studied Techâs face as he spoke. That wasnât all to the war, and she could tell in his eyes. Sometimes she was woken up by her familyâs nightmares, talking in their sleep. The war was over, but how could someone stop being a soldier, when it was all they knew? There was no simple answer. âThat canât be all,â she told Tech. âThat was all we did.â Tech responded, but Omega could hear a retort forming. It was rare for Tech to really display how he felt. âBut that wasnât all you did. I hear Wrecker talking in his sleep, Echo crying out.â Tech didnât meet her gaze. The things he and his brothers had to do, he wasnât going to lie to himself, he was haunted as well. It took him a moment to realize his hands were shaking, how fast he was breathing, how his mind suddenly became clouded with memories. Omega realized then that she had touched a nerve. âIâm sorry! I shouldnât--â but Tech shushed her. âPerhaps I donât need your assistance for the time being. Go back up into the ship.â âAre you going to be okay?â âIâll be fine.â Tech insisted. Omega cast Tech a worried look as she headed back. As she walked back into the Marauder, she heard a sob.
