[clones-for-the-holidays]

Tech repairs Echo's leg after an incident during a snowball fight.

For @singingit75 from @kyraltre with warmth and affection

I made this into a cozy animated scene with Bad Batch themed LoFi music to study/work/chill with. View it here on my itch.io page.

Read the associated full fic on Ao3 - a snippet is below the cut. The 'Slice of Life's genre for Echo includes some of his trauma but there is a happy ending and soft comfort.

Snow and the cold made Echo's skin crawl. The Techno Union and Kaller had left deep scars on his mind and body. Yet, here he was. Taking cover behind a snow bank in rural Pantora because Rex and Riyo had all but forced him to take leave… and if he was going on leave then so were the Batch.

Riyo offered them use of her holiday home, a simple dwelling with hidden security measures so they could relax and enjoy the snowy landscape. That relaxation had lasted through unpacking… and then Wrecker got Crosshair in the chest with a snowball.

Within minutes, battle lines were drawn and it was brother vs brother out here.

Crosshair enlisted Tech to supply him with snowballs as his mechanical hand protested working the snow into functional projectiles. Wrecker got backup from Hunter for the tactical advantage. Omega, never one to be left out, immediately looped Echo in as her battle buddy.

Thusly, Echo had been out in the cold for hours like this. Attacking in waves and then returning to their snowbank cover to regroup and resupply. Omega worked dutifully on their latest arsenal of snowballs while Echo peaked out from the cover to reassess the battlefield before them. The cold had its claws creeping up his spine but the laugher and smiles of his siblings was a warmth that chased it away.

"We need an advantage." Omega stacked yet another snowball on the pile. "We can't attack on two fronts from our position."

Echo couldn't help the smile that formed. "What a strategist you have become," he ruffled her blonde locks. "What do you suggest, Commander?"

Omega beamed up at him from the praise. "We need height. If we move to the tall rock at our 10 o'clock, I can use the small ledge for cover and you can use the top for an angle behind Crosshair's sniping cover."

"Targeting the sniper first? Smart girl." Seeing his youngest sibling take up his training and apply it beautifully in the field warmed him as if he was under the Tatooine suns. In Omega's bright smile to his additional praise, a flash of Fives's smile appeared in his mind.

Fives would have loved it out here… he would have loved Omega…

"Are you okay?" Omega nudged his knee.

The cold took deep root in his spine and joints but Echo shook it away and refocused. "Yes, Sir." He straightened and saluted his little sister, "Ready when you are."

..... Read the rest on Ao3 .....

This was a fun prompt to bring to life. I hope your holidays are warm and joyful. ☃️❄️

Echo: What’s your greatest weakness? Tech: Interpreting the semantics of a question, but ignoring the pragmatics. Echo: Could you give an example? Tech: Yes, I could.
