Echo often warns the batch when he’s done with their shit. How you ask? How does one Arc trooper Echo alert this group of little shits that he’s annoyed and they have seconds to stop?
Echo will just be minding his own and the batch are being annoying and they just won’t leave him alone and it often goes like this:
“You better knock it off.” Echo warns.
Hunter is the first to laugh, too comfortable lounging nearby. “Or what?” This draws a long sigh out of Echo who finally puts his datapad down.
“I’m going to count to three.” Echo says, casual, like he’s asking what they want for dinner. The four other men in the room look at each other, doubtful.
“So?” Wrecker asks with a playful lift in his voice.
Echo raises his eyebrow then says low and threateningly, “One.”
“Oh, yeah super intimidating.” Crosshair folds his arms over his chest, rolling his eyes.
“Two.” Echo ignores the way they brush it off, still goofing off and irritating him. Crosshair even throws a few more comments just to get under his skin.
“What are we, cadets?” Tech asks, but he’s unprepared for the next part.
“Three.” Echo smiles, a typically friendly gesture that now strikes terror into each of them. He stands and every one of them backs up and the ones that are smart run like hell.
The worst he does is chase them and use those well earned ARC skills (and his mischievousness) to take them down. He’s used his powers for evil and hidden just to spook them. He’s dropped down from the ceiling onto Wrecker’s back before which Wrecker found both terrifying and hilarious.
It’s all just an excuse to get some energy out and play a little. It’s so unserious even Echo can’t keep a straight face while counting sometimes but the excitement/fear/anticipation they feel when being chased by someone that literally doesn’t quit until he gets exactly what he wants is very real.
They’re all so silly and they love each other so much.
