Bad batch modern au
Headcannons Part 1:
Cobalt, Fives and Crosshair are all avid motorcycle owners, Cobalt rescued a used one from being scrapped when he was 16 and repaired it himself, Fives bought his after saving a few paychecks from his first part-time job and 99, Shaak ti and the others all bought Crosshair his as a graduation present when he graduated from school
Nala Se and the batch's father (I ain't spoiling that reveal) weren't married, it was purely an arrangement solely meant to benefit Nala Se and her...research
Every 4th of July they all gather at Cut and Suu's ranch and have a barbecue inviting close friends and family members such as 99 and Shaak ti, Rex, Cody, 17, the Skywalkers, Shep, Lyana, Phee and others
Wrecker is the one who mainly cooks the meat (that man does not mess around with the grill), but also enjoys playing with the kids
Every evening after the barbecue everyone heads down to the beach for the annual fireworks display
As a child 99 and Shaak ti regularly took the boys to the beach where they'd celebrate at the 4th of July at the carnival's regularly thrown at the beach, more than a few times this has ended up with the boys getting stomach aches from eating too much sugar...it's the same story in the future even after they've become adults, only now it's THEIR kids getting the stomach aches
Batcher is a staffordshire bull terrier and she was found abandoned on the side of the road by Crosshair on his way home from work one night...to this day Hunter has NEVER seen Crosshair look as murderous as he did during Batcher's checkup at the vet (seriously, he looked BLOODTHIRSTY)
Everyone loves Batcher (as they should) but no one more than Crosshair, he's always spoiling her with lots of treats and toys
Batcher became Crosshair's service dog after she was adopted
Multiple members of the family suffer from some sort of mental health issue, to name a few...Miles, Omega and Crosshair all suffer from anxiety and depression due to their less than ideal pasts, Maria and Maverick suffer from severe guilt due to not being able to protect Miles' from their family's scorn, Tech is autistic and also a chronic workaholic...and also a severe perfectionist (it was worse when he was a kid, but it's still bad even as an adut)
Cobalt's blue eyes are inherited from Nala Se and are near identical, only differing a bit in shape...there was a brief time not long after their adoption that Crosshair actually was actively lasing out at Cobalt for his blue eyes as they were a trigger for his trauma...this was eventually resolved rather quickly as it was greatly upsetting both boys
At first after being adopted by Cobalt and Martha and entering school Miles' mental health was an absolute mess, he'd constantly do nothing but read or study for school (not even interacting with other kids), constantly study late into the night and fall asleep at his desk...or not sleep at all (which resulted in him actually falling asleep in class more than once)
Miles once went missing for three days after failing a test at school...by now his issues with his inferioty complex had begun spiralling out of control...he would have probably done something really stupid like leave town had Crosshair not discovered him and (after a very emotional talk) brought him home...this incident was the final nail in the coffin for getting Miles in therapy, this actually became a very odd bonding moment for Miles and Crosshair (though Crosshair threatened if Miles that if he ever did anything as stupid as that again, he'd drag him home kicking and screaming)
Wrecker is easily the best cook in the family, followed by Echo, then Cobalt
Crosshair, Tech, Trix and Fives are decent cooks...Hunter CAN'T cook to save his life and is only allowed to do the dishes
Hunter is prone to severe migraines when he gets too overstimulated, they aren't as bad as they were when he was a kid, but on bad days can still be overwhelming
Crosshair takes Omega, Boba, Jacen and Maria for Starbucks whenever he's the one who picks them up, and when he's the one who has to pick up James, Miles and Maverick he takes them for ice cream (because despite his tough guy reputation, he loves to SPOIL those kids)
When Crosshair picks up the kids Batcher is often there (this once caused an incident when Batcher was still a puppy and she jumped out the car, and all the kids wanted to pet her...safe to say she LOVED the attention)
Crosshair was incredibly nervous about coming out to 99 and Shaak ti (cause 99 and Shaak ti were obviously born during the time that sort of thing was frowned up)
When Omega was nervous about coming out to Hunter, Crosshair was actually her biggest supporter (not wanting her to have the same nerves he did)
Crosshair likes to act all tough and grumpy, but in reality he's a massive softie
Wrecker has vertigo, hence why he's afraid of heights
Wrecker works for the police as a bomb disposal expert (that's also how he got his scars and how his eye got damaged)
