    Summary

    A prequel story to the Bad Batch show. What happened between their appearance in Clone Wars and the first episode of The Bad Batch?

    A story of how Echo changed from the broken man pulled out of the cryptochamber into the Clone Force 99 member blasting droids in the pilot episode.

    A story of mourning, loss and healing. A story of trauma and recovery. A story of finding a new family and a new life. A story of bonding, of hardship and persevering. The story of a clone that came back to life.

    (This is me trying to give Echo some actual screen time. Watch me try to give the boys some actual personality and relationships.)

    *Updated - Chapter 13 now up!*

    Summary

    Echo looked deathly ill.

    Hunter wasn’t overly worried, though. After all, he supposed that that was just kind of Echo’s thing. What, with the pale, ashen skin, sunken face and frame, blue-tinted lips, tired, dead eyes, and missing limbs, Hunter had seen corpses that looked less dead than Echo.

    But, of course, Hunter had no intentions or desires of telling the man this. Echo was still new to the team—the last thing Hunter wanted was to alienate or smother him. He didn’t want to offer or force help where it wasn’t desired, yet. Echo needed space and time to come to terms with his new reality—in body and in station. He would reach out and open up when he was ready. Hunter was sure of it.

    Tech and Crosshair, as it turned out, had no such reservations.
