They’re looking at mission reports (and waiting for fives to come back from whatever chaos he’s out causing)

Rex: FIVES, NO!

Fives: What?

Rex: Sorry, force of habit.

Rex: ECHO, NO!

Forever thinking about this gif in particular.

It’s Echo confused and rambling while he’s still plugged into the Techno Union computer. How he’s still stuck in that moment in the Citadel.

It’s how Rex’s helmet is off so Echo can see his face for the first time in who knows how long. So there isn’t a barrier between them. So he can be as open and vulnerable as possible for Echo.

It’s Rex’s face, his guilt and shame passing over his expression. There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s remembering exactly what happened that day at the Citadel when he lost Echo. It’s the sorrow there. It’s how fucking upsetting this must be for him.

It’s the way he grabs the back of Echo’s head to keep him from hurting himself. It’s his other hand as a grounding presence. It’s the way he looks like he’s trying to hold Echo together with his touch alone.

It’s all the history between them. It’s the shared loss of Fives. The grief. The pain. It’s the endless hours spent knowing and understanding each other. It’s the reminder that Rex met a shiny on the Rishi moon and watched him grow into a capable soldier and an ARC trooper. The same shiny he watched die at the Citadel. The one he can’t help but see even in this moment, after he’s been tortured and experimented on.

It’s how Echo puts all of his faith in Rex and always will. He’s never found a reason to doubt him even after everything he’s been through.

It’s the way Rex so very clearly loves Echo. The way he lets go so Echo can join the batch and learn who he is now. The way their trust transcends everything. It is woven through every story thread, every scene, every line said between them.

It’s a connection that can’t be severed because they’ve never stopped fighting for it.

Echo got Fives’s tattoo tattooed onto his own body a few months into being on TBB

It’s tiny, but definitely there if you look for it

It’s directly behind his right ear. (Fives always stood on his right)

Rex cried when he found out and gently asked to see it

[hootydoot]

What have they done to you?

I know, I cut Tech out of this, but I feel like when those doors opened, this might've been how Rex felt-- like he and Echo were alone in that horrible room.

Ramblings below

Imagine what Rex might've been feeling at the time. He believed, despite everyone else's doubts, that one of his best friends was alive after more than a year since his disappearance. He fought two entire compounds of droids, left without the approval of the jedi council, and fought with other clones, almost losing Cody in the process, all to save his good friend. It must've been horrible, being confronted with the sight of Echo being used as an experiment, barely recognizable from all the damage done to him. Finding out that Echo had been suffering a fate worse than death following the citadel must've hurt Rex more than we can imagine.

Plus, knowing that Fives had died just shortly before, that they would've seen each other again, if only Fives had lived for a couple more months, must've made Rex feel even worse. I hate trying to imagine how he broke the news to poor Echo 😭

Summary:

The 501st is sent to destroy a base on a snow-planet when communications are knocked out. Rex has never seen snow before. None of them have. It's far from ideal, but if there's one thing their General is good at, it's making sure everyone has a good time, even when things are tough.
