Warnings: mentions of blood, self harm, child harm, swearing, implied self hate and self deprecation.

A/N: Hello! I'm back with Omega still not having a good time, funny what repression of a key part of you will do, right?

Happy last day of pride month🌈, but tomorrow begins disability pride month! Fuck yeah!

Caoimhe Peli(oc) here!

Bad Batch werewolf AU link here.

________________________________________________________________________________

Naylaz got to the shop early in the morning, enjoying the cool air and the sparkle of morning dew on everything. She pulled her hair into a short ponytail with her bandana before heading it.

She was always the first, despite being almost the youngest of her siblings, she was an early riser and enjoyed the peace of the mornings.

She got straight to work setting up the shop for all her siblings' various uses, they wouldn't all be here today, it would be too chaotic if they were. Someone was always missing, a lot were missing today with offworld or other town business, maybe visiting some of the aunts and cousins.

Today it would just be herself, her niece Caoimhe, and her two older sisters, Dulcé, an amazing baker, and Zarol, an excellent woodworker, they worked on opposite ends of the shop. Caoimhe would help them both when she got back from school, which would be about noon. She would handle check outs and their handcrafted weapons, she doubted she'd have much time, but maybe she could eek out a bit to teach Caoimhe a bit more on weapon crafting, the girl absolutely loved it, almost as much as spending hours in her studios working on whatever she fancied.

It would be a good day.

Omega stared at the speck of purple in the meadow behind them as it got smaller. She hadn't gotten much of a look at it, the colors had caught her eye just as the ship began to swerve away.

She felt eyes on her… like whatever was down there was staring at her too.

Her brothers' voices drew her attention, she peeked her head out from her makeshift room. They were going somewhere, she assumed they were there now, but she hadn't been told where or why yet.

Rex was with them though.

She retreated into her room at the sound of footsteps. Her stupid ears wouldn't go away, they were starting to hurt from her band on them. So much so she was considering not wearing the band, but a little voice chided her for such thoughts. She caught Tech's scent outside her room.

"Omega, we are going to be landing soon." He told her.

She didn't say anything and was disappointed when he didn't just walk away.

"And we'll need you to come out with us." He added.

She squeaked and tucked herself into the blanket cave she'd constructed over the course of the trip. She didn't want to leave the safety of the ship. She heard Tech shuffle and type something on his datapad.

"Would knowing about this planet before we land incentivize you to come out?" He asked her.

"Mhm." She nodded.

"The planet we are landing on is called Cxylor. It's a very nice planet with four seasons, the natives are Spælves and they do a remarkable job at living harmoniously with nature. Their architecture is designed so plants can grow and thrive on it, if it's not already built into a tree. There are large forests of many kinds, some have massive trees in them that Spælf families carve and build their homes into, and there are many trees that are smaller, girth wise, and easier to climb closer to open space like the meadows, plateaus and beaches. The water is pleasantly cool and it doesn't go down terribly deep like Kamino, new land masses can form easily and the planet has very colorful beaches." He paused so she could take in the information.

"We are going to a village in the middle of a plateau meadow, you can see the ocean from it, this one has an orange beach, I think you'll like it. The people are nice here, Spælf are friendly towards Loths, the one we are going to see is Loth." Tech said.

Omega peeked out of her blankets and found Tech peeking into her room. He smiled at her, no teeth, and motioned for her to come out. She grabbed her cape, pulling it tight around her ears, and crawled out of her room. She latched on to Tech's hand once she was out.

Her eyes found the calming blue waters contrasted with peachy orange sands, just like Tech said through the windshield.

"It's so pretty." She whispered.

"It is aesthetically pleasing." Tech agreed.

She giggled a bit, then her eyes landed on the settlement in the meadow and her anxiety returned.

She held onto Tech's tail for comfort, he gave her a little, hesitant pat.

Everything's gonna be fine. She willed herself to believe it.

Naylaz heard the desk bell ring, she grunted and shifted her load from one arm to another.

"Just a minute!" She called.

She was glad to not hear any annoyance from the customers. The day had gone great, Caoimhe hadn't caused any trouble since getting here and had been mostly glued to Dulcé's side as she made a syrup infused bread that was smelling heavenly about now. There was steady but not overwhelming foot traffic outside, and no entitled customers had bothered her today.

It was all good.

The bell rang again, someone had short patience. She grunted and decided to just take her load with her to the front to attend to the customer.

"Coming!" She called out.

She set the overflowing basket down on the front counter and pushed it, and what had spilled out of it, aside.

"What can I do for you?" She asked before getting a good look at the customers.

Six people dressed in what looked like clone armor were crowded around the front desk. She saw a tiny hint of red and leaned over a smidge to see what it was.

A small girl, no older than Caoimhe, with a red hood pulled tightly over her head looked up at her nervously. Though she was doing her best to hide it, Naylaz knew the girl was Loth, she could see the characteristic nose even if she saw nothing else. The girl was nervous, but Naylaz knew a scared Loth child wasn't to be tested and opted not to comment on it.

She gave the girl a smile then looked back to the girl's pack.

An odd pack it was, they were all male, most Loth packs had a variety of genders. One's without it had usually suffered some tragedy beforehand. However, the armor told her there was another reason for their pack's make-up.

The girl seemed to grow more nervous by the second, and Naylaz smelled blood on her. It wasn't quite the same as menstrual blood, but she figured it needed mentioning, discreetly so she didn't embarrass the poor girl to death.

"Do you need a pad, sweety?" She asked.

The girl's nose turned slightly pink and she shook her head. Most of her pack seemed confused by the question. She safely assumed they were clones.

Naylaz turned her full attention to the girl's pack.

"What do you need?" She asked, angling her ears forwards as she leaned on the counter.

"Are you Naylaz Peli?" One clone, the shortest, asked.

Naylaz raised an eyebrow and tapped her name on the employee directory, which told customers who did what and where to find them.

"I'm pretty sure that's me." She said.

The girl stifled a snort.

"What can I help you with?" She asked.

The clones were bulky and took up a lot of space, luckily, no one else needed to check out right now, so she didn't need to be upfront about getting to the point.

"Well? I don't have all day." She prompted when they still didn't say anything.

"We need to talk with you about something important." The clone with white armor painted blue stated.

"Can it wait? I've kinda got a shop to run." Naylaz pointed out.

The clones shifted uncomfortably, the biggest one looked like he was in pain.

"We don't have much time." Blue & White said.

"If you have an emergency, why didn't you go to the hospital?" Naylaz asked.

"We don't exactly trust that." He said.

"Don't trust anything your bosses don't run?" Naylaz joked.

It fell flat on all but the girl. The clones looked nervous at her comment.

"You are clones, right?" She guessed.

Evidently, the clones didn't know how to act in a situation like this. Naylaz thought of a few people who would find it funny.

"If it's not an emergency, there's medical supplies and first aid in the back, Úlfr isn't here so you'll have to check everything yourself." She told them, gesturing towards the pharmacy area.

"Oh, and the establishment and it's employees are not liable for any ill effects as a result of customers not listening to our instructions on what to use." She added.

The clones still didn't move. Naylaz suppressed a sigh, customers would start complaining soon.

"I really need you to move along, a line's forming." Naylaz said politely.

"We need to talk about something very important, discreetly." Blue & White said carefully.

"This is a market front shop, it's not discreet, you want to whisper secrets, go to the bakery on the edge of town, the one with the tree that's always in bloom, wonderful place and you can talk about anything there." She advised.

"We were told to talk to you." He said.

He got an elbow from the short clone, it must've been a very sensitive topic. Naylaz leaned forward, her interest piqued.

"By who?" She asked.

The clones hesitated. Naylaz frowned and grabbed her basket.

"If you aren't going to explain yourselves, I can't help you. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a shop to run." She said, turning away from the clones towards the inventory.

"Cid sent us."

It was barely a whisper, Naylaz's frown deepened. Contact with Cid had always been spotty, Cid wasn't as entirely trustworthy, but she'd come through when needed. Now why would she send clones my way? And with a kid? She turned back around, holding the basket on her hip.

"In back, don't touch anything." She ordered.

She opened the gate to the employees only area and let them through, giving the little Loth a friendly smile as she walked by.

"Kiwi! I need you to cover the check out! I've gotta deal with something!" She shouted.

An audible groan came from her niece, but the girl dutifully made her way over. Naylaz left her basket and went to the back to speak with these clones.

All except for the youngling were standing awkwardly in the back room. The girl was currently fascinated by the terrarium with a pair of hatchling dragon snakes coiled under the light.

Naylaz dropped the storefront formality and got straight to the point.

"Spill it, what's Cid want? She need to be bailed out or did her arms get ripped off by a Wookiee again?" She asked.

"That's happened before?" One asked.

"Yeah, happens all the time, now hurry up and say it. I can't leave Kiwi at the checkout for too long." She said.

"Is this room secure?" Shorty asked.

"Yep, no Empire on the planet anyway." Naylaz answered.

The clones looked uncomfortable, perhaps they didn't actually want to tell her what was up.

"Cid told us you knew someone who could help a very unique situation. Someone with unique skills." Blue & White said quietly.

"I know lots of people, wanna narrow that down?" She suggested.

"Jedi. We are here to talk about Jedi." The tall, lanky clone said, getting straight to the point.

"Why would clones need a Jedi?" She asked, immediately skeptical.

"We have a problem and need a Jedi to help fix it, and Cid said they could help our pup over there." Shorty said.

To her, it was very clear who Cid wanted them to find, and the little pup needing help would give them some degree of security. Naylaz didn't entirely trust them.

"Why would there be a Jedi around these parts? Sure it's remote but too obvious to hide in." She paused, dark thoughts flushing her head, "Besides, didn't you kill them all?"

Apparently, that comment struck a nerve. The lanky one straight up growled at her, she growled and snarled right back.

"Don't threaten me in my territory." She warned.

It was intensely disrespectful, to be allowed into her territory and then to threaten her, especially for such a young Loth.

Blue and White one stepped up, again. He was the oldest, so he was the leader even if he wasn't fully part of this particular pack, at least until an older Loth joined them or the pup came of age.

"Your packmate needs to learn respect." She snarled.

The aforementioned Loth sneered at her, his leader put up a hand and Shorty shot him a glare.

"Yes, he does. I'm sorry about that, they don't have much experience with these situations." He apologized uneasily.

"I can tell." Naylaz snipped.

All of these clones acted like they owned any planet they set foot on. Part of that may have been due to their upbringing and lack of proper influence from other Loths, but they were so damn disrespectful and they were pups. They might look full grown but any Loth with a functioning nose could tell how old they really were.

"You lot are terrible at this." She snapped.

Apparently, this ticked off the lanky one, again. He was easy to piss off.

"We don't need your to correct our manners-"

"What manners?" She cut him off.

"Just tell us where to find the damn Jedi!" He snarled.

He just barely shifted, just a change in his face, his muzzle growing and fangs, and maybe it was just heightened emotions, but it was still a threat.

Naylaz growled and shifted, now towering above the humans. She snarled and puffed up her fur. They wouldn't get away with threatening her on her territory.

"Whoa, ma'am calm down, he didn't mean it." Scomp said, urgently trying to diffuse the situation.

"Do not order me around." She hissed.

The goggled clone elbowed his intensely disrespectful brother and stepped forwards.

"I'm so sorry about him, we really do not mean you any disrespect." He said.

Naylaz glared at the offending clone, but forced her body to relax. She didn't shift back, no, she was still determined to remind them that they were in her territory.

"Who are you really looking for? Cause I am certain there are no Jedi on Cxylor." She asked with a soft growl.

"We're looking for someone called 'Blue', Cid says you know her." Shorty said.

Naylaz examined the clones again, looking for any hint of their true intentions. Her gaze was drawn towards the small pup, she had taken one of the dragon snakes out and was playing with it. Anxiety, nervousness, fear and hate all underlined her fairly typical, although somewhat odd, pup scent. Naylaz watched the girl and her mannerisms for a few minutes, until it all clicked together.

"What's wrong with your pup?" She prompted.

The clones bristled slightly at the mention of their youngest, but wisely didn't repeat the same mistake. Shorty glanced at the oblivious pup with a guilty expression.

"We uh, we don't know." He admitted reluctantly.

Naylaz stared at him in disbelief, he didn't know? It was clear as day that something was seriously messing with the poor pup. She felt a touch of anger at the clones.

"You adopted that pup with no idea of how to care for her? Who let you become parents?!" She barked.

The pup yelped at her sudden outburst and whimpered, ducking under a table. Naylaz recognized it as a frightened baby sound, and expected the clones to have been growling and snarling at her for scaring their pup, but they weren't. It almost seemed like they didn't register the sound as the cry for help it was, or they didn't know how to respond, just casting guilty looks in her direction.

Seeing as the pup was still hiding and the clones still clueless, Naylaz took matters into her own hands. She pushed past the useless clones and knelt down to the terrified pup. She gave the girl a gentle nudge with her snout.

"Are you alright sweety?" She asked, softly purring to let the pup know she was safe.

Terrified brown eyes stared at her from the relative darkness, she saw a tuft of blond fur poking out from under the pup's oversized cape, and her snout. The girl was looking back and forth between her pack and Naylaz frantically.

Naylaz took the hint and positioned her body and tail to conceal the pup from prying eyes. She could see what the pup was so desperately trying to hide now.

All along her back were thin red scratch marks, her skin was red and irritated underneath the pulled out fur. Naylaz checked over the rest of her body for any more scratches, her legs also had those same marks.

She looked back to the pup and instantly felt so much worse for the poor girl, she was shaking so much. Naylaz cooed sympathetically, it was a gentle, comforting sound that got the pup to relax a bit.

I understand why Cid sent them here now. She thought.

She briefly wondered what had caused this pup to feel the need to tear her own fur out before her thoughts were interrupted by an unexpected intrusion.

"Auntie Nal, is someone hurt back here?" Caoimhe, her niece.

"Whoa, where are you guys from?!" She heard Caoimhe's tail thumping around excitedly.

Naylaz glanced over at her niece, the young wolf was eagerly sniffing the clones and making them very uncomfortable. While it was amusing to see hardened soldiers lurch away from a child like she was going to kill them, it wasn't necessary.

"Kiwi, can you go back to the register? I'm dealing with something." She said, giving the pup a gentle nudge with her tail.

Caoimhe didn't move, her bi colored eyes were fixed on something behind Naylaz. Before Naylaz could stop her, her niece had already approached the other pup. The pup in question was not thrilled to be spotted, she growled softly at Caoimhe.

"Are you okay? What happened to your back? How did you get hurt?!" Caoimhe asked, genuinely concerned for the other pup's safety.

Internally, Naylaz cursed herself for not getting Caoimhe out of there fast enough, her niece was kind and incredibly sympathetic, but she couldn't read a room to save her life and often said things that should have stayed quiet, she never meant to cause any harm. So despite her good intentions, the room stilled at her words.

"Hurt? You're hurt?!" Shorty exclaimed.

The rest of the pack had similar responses, but only two of them, Blue and White and Scomp, had the sense to step the fuck back and give more space.

In his shock, Shorty shifted back, the pup curled in on herself, tail pulled close to her body. The other two got too close as well. Naylaz shouldered the Loths aside to keep them from crowding the stressed pup.

"Back off, you'll only frighten her." She warned.

The stubborn clone growled at her and tried to shove past her. Naylaz gave him a low warning growl. Fights weren't good for pups to witness, she really wanted this to de-escalate quickly.

"Stand. Down." She growled.

Caoimhe suddenly yelped in pain, Naylaz whirled around to see the pup had bitten her niece's tail and had her pinned. She instantly recognized the wide eyed panic of the blond pup and knew it was a panicked fight or flight response.

"Omega!" Shorty snarled.

Instantly the pup let go and gave her packmate a terrified stare. She frantically looked around the room, sides expanding and contracting with her rapid, shallow breaths.

"Omega…" Naylaz said softly.

The pup howled at her and bolted out the exit.

Naylaz sadly watched her run away, her pack clueless on what to do but follow their pup. Blue and white stayed behind, he wasn't really one of their pack, so it made enough sense. Naylaz turned her attention to her own pup.

Caoimhe was staring after the other Loths, her tail had small spots of blood welling up. She looked at Naylaz with guilt and confusion.

"Did… did I do something wrong again…?"

The Loth-wolf clung to the shadows as she climbed up the docking bay's walls. The ship that had snared her interest had already been investigated by any curious pups in the area, her scent would be easily hidden under all the intertwining aromas of the village. Not that she planned on getting close enough to leave her scent on anything.

She glanced around quickly, checking for the ship's owners, before approaching the edge of the docking bay. A quick sniff told her the owners were gone, she'd have to wait.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long.

A pup reeking with the stench of fear and shame and blood bolted from the bay entrance to the ship, quickly disappearing within. She heard a door slam shut inside.

Soon after, other Loths came, adults. The pup's parents. She assumed. They were too focused on their pup to notice her, and she easily slipped out of sight, but not out of ear shot. These had been the Loths, the pup specifically, that had intrigued her, she wanted to get a feel for the adults, she already had a good idea of how the pup was.

"She's locked herself in the fresher, she won't come out." One said.

She frowned at the troubling thought of whatever the pup could be doing in there, but forced herself to walk away. That pup had adults, a pack, to help her, while she had no one. Hard as it was sometimes, she had to prioritize herself over strangers.

So she stuck to the shadows and trotted out of town, to the edge of the forest near her friend's territory. She might as well observe this pack while they were here, and it wouldn't hurt to see some friends.

She settled down in a nice, soft patch of grass and waited for nightfall.

Right on time, at dusk, her friend and their pack made it to the border.

The Spælf pack was disheartened and upset. She caught a faint whiff of blood, mixed with guilt, from the youngest. That was certainly something she could bud into.

She rose from her resting spot and stretched her back.

"Hello there."

Four pairs of eyes landed on her, and five tails began wagging excitedly.

________________________________________________________________________________

Mega go CHOMP!

I like to traumatize Omega in case you haven't noticed yet. I feel bad for doing it cause I don wanna see the lil baby hurt, but I do it anyway cause it's also stupid fun.

Spælves tend to have really big families, this is amped up for the Loth Spælves with the higher chance of multiples in one pregnancy, so family, kin and community are very important to them. Another fun thing about them is when they have a kid with all parents eye colors in their eyes is when they stop having kids(they don't have too many either way), since they've had a perfect mix. Caoimhe is one of those kids, hetero chromia is the only thing hetero about her. Hetero chromia is also fairly common in Spælves, roughly 20% of them have it.

I didn't get to this but Spælves are generally red orange to yellow in skin color with splotches of cooler colors, Naylaz is orange with blue splotches, Caoimhe has purple.

Naylaz is also aro ace.

Happy pride month 🌈!

I hope you all have a good day, whatever that is for you!

VJS Out!

A regretful Wolf and his Beauty

Chapter Eighteen

Beast!Rex x Fem!reader

Summary: As punishment for his actions, young prince Rex was cursed to become a monster by a witch. The only thing that saved him from his fate was an enchantress, who gave him a condition. He has to find true love in order to redeem himself and he only has until the last petal of the enchanted rose falls. Rex's family helps you by guiding your way into his heart. Rex's fate now lies in your hands. A/N: hope you all like this! This is a collab with @ahsokatano-thetogruta

Crosshair walks down the hall. He's gotten used to being a hatrack more than he thought that he would. He'd stare at himself in the mirror for ages, look of disgust all over his face. The sound of sniffling and soft sobbing brings him out of his thoughts, sighing when he knows who they belong to. “Hunter?” Crosshair enters a different room, one with a sofa, bookshelves and pretty lights. Everyone in the castle thinks of this room as the snug area. Hunter comes here almost all of the time, because his senses are so enhanced that he needs to give them a break, so this room really helps with that. He's not sure why it is, but there is always the sweet smell of Peonies and Roses in the air, and the peace and quiet is pure Bliss to him.

The depressed looking knife glances at Crosshair “What are you doing here?” Hunter asks, but the answer to that should be obvious “I came to check on you. What's going on?” Crosshair asks, his tone low and demanding, yet has a very small hint of softness in it. Hunter turns away from him. “Doesn't matter. Go and make friends with the girl.” “I don't want to.” Crosshair says plainly. Hunter turns around, feeling his anger rise “But why? It's not as if you look intimidating like me, just talk to her, introduce yourself, something.” If Hunter could, he'd be tearing up by now, frustrated that he can't even talk to the girl. He feels sad that she's so afraid of him.

Crosshair sighs in annoyance “Well it's not my fault you look like that. If she's scared of you but not me, then that's just the way it is--” Suddenly, Hunter sees red and lashes out, throwing himself towards Crosshair, who's eyes widen, not able to move quick enough to avoid the cut that Hunter gives him. The impact makes Hunter lose his balance and momentum, falling to the floor with a clatter. Crosshair yells out in pain, looking down at himself to see the cut, then an orange, gloopy substance trickling out of it. Hunter is still pissed and isn’t thinking, he floats up and tries to fly over to Crosshair for another strike, when he suddenly becomes tired and falls to the floor. That's when Hunter breaks, and he starts crying hard, unable to stop. Crosshair freezes as he hears his Ori’Vod cry, he knows that he caused this, and he feels so bad. “Hunter, I’m so sor--” Crosshair is interrupted when the door bangs open.

“What the kriff are you boys doing!!” 99 barges in, and Tech follows as Hunter lays on the floor and cries quietly, 99 floats over and looks down at Hunter, then up at Crosshair and his cut. “Were you pushing him? I know you did something to provoke this, son.” Crosshair gives a guilty look. “I… I said it wasn’t my fault he looked like that, and scared the girl.” “Cross!” 99 scolds, he would be frowning if he could. “You know how hard everyone has taken to being turned into objects, and Hunter always hid his feelings.” Crosshair looks so guilty as Tech looks at his wound. “I didn’t mean to say it, it just slipped. Then he attacked me, he was going to again but he got tired, then he started crying.” 99 sighs and looks at Hunter.

“I think he’s having a bit of a breakdown, having you say that Cross had caused all his emotions to bubble up.” 99 floats over top of Hunter, and gently presses against him, in as much as he can. “Hunt’ika, it’s okay son. No matter what you look like, you are still you.” Hunter whimpers, and suddenly darts out of the room. “Hunter!!” he can hear the three of them call, but he keeps going. He keeps going until he gets to 99’s room, and hides under the bed. He used to do that as a young kid, and when he was first transformed. He knows it's childish, but it still comforts him, even now.

Hunter thinks about the girl, he feels so bad. He had scared her, he hates being a knife, being something so dangerous. He always hid it from his brothers, how much he hated it. He needed to be strong for them, as the oldest, he did the same when Nala se was around. Hunter wishes he could curl up, like he used to, but it's impossible with what he is now. Hunter cries quietly, letting everything he’s been holding in for years out. When he hears the door open, he goes quiet, hoping not to let anyone know he’s here. “Hunt’ika?” Hunter almost curses when he hears 99, he doesn’t want to talk right now, he just wants to be alone. There's shuffling from the broom. “Hunter! I know you’re in here, son. You always hide in here when you’re upset.” Hunter keeps quiet, hearing his Buir shuffle around the bed. 99 sighs. “Hunter, I know you’re hurting. You don’t have to hide it, I know you had to be the strong one with Nala Se. but I’ve told you before, that's not your job anymore. It’s mine.”

Hunter flinches at the name, but he still doesn't say a word. “Hunter...I just need to know that you're okay, please.” Knowing that he's making his dad worry about him hurts him, feeling the guilt pumping all through his body. A moment later, Hunter feels himself being swept gently across the floor from under the bed. He tries to slide his way back under the bed, but 99 stops him. “Hunt'ika, please, stop--” “Don't call me that!! I-I don't deserve to be called that, how can you even stand to hug me like this? I'm dangerous now, not to mention scary. You saw how the kid reacted to me.” Hunter starts sobbing again, hating that he's the scariest looking out of them all.

He senses his Buir's sadness, but why would he be sad-- “You may be scary on the outside, but we know, and you know, that you are still you on the inside, no matter what you may think, you will always be my Hunt'ika.'' 99 tells him, making Hunter look up near the top of the broom where 99's face would be, that's if he had one. Before Hunter can reply or properly process what his Buir had just said, there's the sound of Obi Wan's and Cody's voice, along with a young girl's voice. “But I want to make sure that whoever is crying is alright.” she pleads, then there's a soft knock at the door that makes both Hunter and 99 turn and look to see the small girl from earlier peering around the door, then slowly entering, Cody and Obi Wan standing just outside of the room.

She takes a breath as she walks forward towards the knife and broom, still looking a little scared and nervous, but not as much as earlier. She manages to smile a little. “Hello. My name's Omega.” Omega doesn't want to be pressing, so she waits for a response, but none comes. She frowns, not knowing what to do. Hunter must feel terrible that she felt, and still feels a little bit, afraid of him.

Omega lays curled up, as the knife is pushed away by the broom, she feels sick. “Hello.” she startles, looking over to see a book, with what look like goggles on its front where eyes are. “H-Hello.” she says quietly, and tech smiles at her. “I’m tech. Hunter won’t hurt you, I promise.” Omega whimpers. “But knives hurt, that's what one did to my mom and dad.” Tech feels sick when he realizes why she’s scared of Hunter. “Well, he used to be human. He was the oldest out of the four of us, and he raised all of us, pretty much. Until Buir found us.” Omega sits up a bit under Wrecker, smiling at the book. “Really.” Tech nods. “I promise, he will never hurt you.” “Yeah, he's the best big brother in the world!!” Wrecker yells, making Tech and Omega laugh.

“Omega!!! There you are!!” Obi Wan comes running into the room, reaching underneath Wrecker and pulling Omega out, Cody is running as fast as he can behind him. Omega notices that the hatrack and knife are gone now. “You can’t just wander off like that.” Obi Wan scolds as Cody catches his breath. “Obi Wan’s right, you need to go see Kix. He wasn’t in his office, but we’ll find him.” Cody says, and 99 chuckles. “I’m sure he’s around here somewhere, now I have to go find Hunter, he gave poor Omega a scare and now I think he feels bad.” “I’ll come with you.” and with that both 99 and Tech float out, leaving Omega and Wrecker to tell the story of what had happened.”

xxx

“Tech has told me about how kind you are, and that you are the oldest brother out of the four of you.” Hunter looks up at her. “He did.” Omega nods. “I’m sorry I was scared of you, the bad men hurt my mommy and daddy with a knife. But Tech said you won’t hurt me.” Hunter wishes he could nod. “Of course, I would never.” Omega smiles. “I know you used to be human, I’m sorry that this happened to you, but you’re still the same on the inside, that's all that matters.” Hunter floats up, as 99 chuckles. “See, I’m not the only one who thinks that.”

Hunter chuckles too, then looks at Omega. “Your eye is bleeding.” He tells her, and she sighs. “I was supposed to see Kix, but then I wandered off after hearing Wrecker’s music, then I heard you crying and wanted to apologize for being scared.” Hunter sighs. “You don’t have to say sorry, I am scary. Now we better get you to Kix.” Omega nods and follows the knife as he floats out of the room, and the broom follows behind them. Cody and Obi Wan are waiting outside for them.

“There you are, has everyone made up?” Cody asks, and Omega nods with a smile. “Both have made up, and I think Hunter is feeling a bit better now, right Hunter?” Hunter nods, he does. “Yeah, let's go get Omega’s eye checked out, then I need to apologize to Cross.” Obi Wan nods. “Alright, let's go then.” They all start walking to where Kix and Jesse usually sleep, their room is on the bottom floor. They get there and Obi Wan knocks on the door. “Kix? Jesse? You in there?'” The door opens and a paper bird flies out, followed by a pen.

“Hey Obi Wan, sorry. I slept in. You brought Omega, and others.” Obi Wan chuckles at what Kix says. “Yeah, her eye isn’t looking too good, and everyone else is here for support.” Kix chuckles. “Sit her on the bed, then unwrap her eye and I’ll take a look.” Obi Wan nods, and does as he's told. Cody follows behind him as Hunter rests on top of him and 99 follows beside. Obi Wan unwraps her eye, and everyone gasps, 99 immediately flies over to her. “What the kriff happened to you, sweetie.” He says softly, accidentally swearing but he doesn’t care at the moment. “The bad man punched me.” 99 shakes with anger, and Hunter floats up. “What!! He had no right!” Hunter yells, making Omega jump. She tears up, trying so hard not to cry again at the memory from last night.

“I heard my Mommy scream, then Papa turned around to help her, and that's when one of the bad men jumped at me and attacked me. T-Then-- Then…” she cries again, tears streaming down her face like a waterfall. It's difficult to help her because they aren't able to help her physically, seeming as they are all objects and are unable to give her a hug, so the best they can do for her is comfort her with words. Obi Wan pulls Omega into a hug, running a hand through her hair. Hunter shakes with anger as Cody does the same, 99 calms himself down as much as he can. “Don’t worry, you’re safe here.” He says to her, and Omega pulls away and nods. Then Kix flies up and starts looking her over, he hums a bit. “I really do not like how that eye is looking.” He tells her softly, and Omega sighs. “My vision is weird.” Kix gives a sad look. “Can you cover your good eye? Then tell me what you see out of your bad one.” Omega nods and then covers her eye, getting a frown. “It’s blurry, almost turning black.” Kix sighs. “I was afraid of that, she might go blind in that eye now.”

Cody and Obi Wan both let out small growls of anger, as 99 stays close next to her, he feels so bad for the poor girl. “Is there a way to save it?” Hunter asks quietly, but Kix shakes his head. “I’m not sure.” Hunter sighs as Omega whimpers, and Obi Wan pulls Omega close again. “It’s okay.” He whispers, then Hunter flies over. “Hey, it's okay. How about you come and hangout with me and my brothers once your eye is wrapped up? It would be fun?” Omega nods, and Obi Wan starts to put some bacta on her eye and rewrap it, once he’s done, he hums. “There, is… is she good to go, Kix?” Kix nods sadly, and Jesse flies over to her and hugs her. “You take care, little lady. I’ll talk to you later.” Omega smiles and giggles as she follows Obi Wan and the rest out. “Bye Jesse! Bye Kix.” Both yell goodbye to her as Obi Wan, Cody, 99 and Hunter lead her back to the ballroom.

Once they get there, Tech immediately flies over. “Miss Omega!! How are you doing?” Omega smiles. “I’m good!!” Hunter looks around to see Crosshair in the corner, he sighs and flies over, getting the cold shoulder, he sighs. “Look, I’m so sorry Cross. I hurt you, and I had no right.” Crosshair doesn't say a word, he's too pissed off and will end up shouting. He doesn't want to yell in case he scares the kid, he'd hate it if he did that. Hunter can see the orange sap that has hardened on Crosshair's side. He hates that he snapped and hurt him like he did, it makes him so sad that he'd even think about hurting his Vod'ika. Hunter starts to fly away back to the group, but he's stopped when Crosshair grabs him and stops him from going any further.

“I'm sorry too, Hunter. I shouldn't have provoked you like that and I should have gone a different way about it. So I'm sorry. And don't worry about cutting me, I'm fine.” he pulls away and gives Hunter one of his rare smiles, which tells Hunter that he isn't mad, because Crosshair wouldn't be smiling at all if he was. “Okay, as long as you're sure.” Hunter returns the smile, then he notices Crosshair tense up, noticing that he's looking in a particular spot behind Hunter. He would be raising an eyebrow right now if he could, but he turns around regardless, seeing Omega smiling and looking inquisitively at Crosshair.

“I knew I saw you move earlier.” Omega giggles. “What's your--” she doesn't get to finish her sentence as the hatrack starts running away. She looks up at Hunter with confusion, then he laughs and floats down towards her, trying to look as least scary or menacing as possible. “Go on and chase him, Kiddo.” He says in a playful and joking manner. Omega smiles widely and does just that, following the hatstand out of the ballroom and into the hallway. Crosshair runs as fast as he can go, the young girl fast on his trail. “Please, just leave me alone, kid.” a moment later he hears a small scream and a fairly loud thud. He turns around to see that the girl has fallen flat on her face.

“Ow ow ow…” she whimpers and cries a little, making Crosshair feel so bad that this has happened. Crosshair feels bad for her, so he walks back towards her and gently uses his hooks to gently scoop her up, and he sets her down. “You okay? That was quite a fall.” the girl nods, tears filling her eyes, Crosshair sighs softly. “Shhh, it’s okay, sweetheart. You’re okay.” Crosshair struggles to come up with the words, he was always more to give comfort with touch rather than words. Damn! Why couldn’t Hunter be here, he was always great at comforting them, even now.

“I would hug you, sweetheart, but it's a bit difficult at the moment.” She smiles and quickly hugs Crosshair herself, gently nuzzling against him, and Crosshair smiles to himself. It’s been a long time since he’s had an actual hug. He chuckles softly. “Okay, thanks for the hug kid.” The girl smiles. “I like hugs, can I hug you again when I’m sad?” Crosshair lets out a tiny sigh, but nods. “Okay, we can. But don’t tell anyone, I have a reputation to uphold.” She nods happily, then Crosshair gets a curious look. “What were you going to ask earlier?” The girl quarks her head. “Huh?” Crosshair sighs. “You said “What's your--”, so I'm... curious as to what you were going to ask.” She gets a bright smile. “Ohh, yeah. What's your name?” Crosshair gets a surprised look, then he smiles. “I’m Crosshair, but you can call me Cross. What's your name?” The girl smiles. “I’m Omega!” Crosshair chuckles at her enthusiasm. “Should we head back to the ballroom then, Omega?” Omega nods happily and Crosshair leads her back to the ballroom. Once he gets back in there, Hunter is the first to come over to him, Crosshair frowns as he can just feel the smirk the knife must have that he cannot see.

“I see you made friends with her.” Crosshair rolls his eyes. “Yeah, yeah. You know that I like kids.” Omega smiles, and Crosshair gets a small smile on his face. Then everyone hears a growling sound. “What?” Hunter asks, then 99 chuckles as he flies over. “You hungry Omega?” Omega nods shyly, and both Hunter and Crosshair, along with everyone else, would facepalm. They forget about the need to eat that humans have, Rex usually is good about eating, so they sometimes forget about it. “Let's get you to the kitchen then, and get some food into that tummy of yours.” Omega smiles at the broom and nods, following him out as Hunter and Crosshair follow behind. “Bye!!!!” Wrecker yells and Omega smiles as she waves. “Bye, Wrecker!!! Bye, Tech!!” “Bye, Miss Omega!”

Obi Wan and Cody have already left to find Rex, so it's just Omega, Hunter, Crosshair and 99. All walking to the kitchen to get the young girl some food. Once they make it to the kitchen, they open the door to find that they aren’t alone. Rex freezes as he sees young Omega staring at him with wide eyes, Omega freezes as well. He backs up a little, ducking down a bit to seem smaller and less intimidating, ears pressing back against his head. She looks at him for a moment and remembers what you had told her “That's just my friend, Rex. he won’t hurt you.”. Omega takes a small, shaky breath and then says “Are you Rex?” The wolf nods, staying quiet for a moment before speaking “Do I scare you?”

Omega doesn't wait a second before shaking her head “No, you seem really nice.” she smiles widely at him, which is kindly given back to her as a small, toothy smile. It's been a very long time since there has been a human child in the castle, so Rex is feeling nervous. “I'm glad.” His ears perk up as she walks a little closer, Hunter is resting in Crosshair's hooks as the two of them stay back and stand next to 99, letting Omega take her time getting used to Rex. Even though she said that she isn't scared, Rex still looks quite scary like this.

She stands right in front of him, looking up as he looks down at her. He decides to crouch a little more, not wanting her to strain her neck. He's about three times her height, so if that isn't menacing enough, then what is? Omega walks a little closer to him, making Rex look around a little nervously and confused as to how or why she isn’t scared of a monster like him. “Your fur looks so fluffy.” She lets out a small giggle as Rex’s tail wags a little. “Would you like to feel it?” Rex asks kindly, making Omega nod happily. She reaches her hand out to feel the fluffier fur on the top of his head. “It is really soft!” Omega says joyfully, enjoying the feeling of the soft, blonde fur in her hand.

Rex hums at the feeling. His brothers and Anakin have played with his fur before, but having a human hand touch him instead of a metal hand, like the armor of Anakin’s hand, gives him a nice and comforting feeling. His tail swishes around more the more Omega keeps playing with his fur, moving to the even fluffier fur on his chest and then down to his belly. Rex can’t help but flop onto his back, hind leg kicking around a little as Omega giggles and rubs the fur for a few minutes. Damn his wolf instincts. He can hear Hunter, Crosshair and 99 chuckling softly in the background. Rex would be feeling nervous and self conscious right now, but knowing that Omega is happy makes him feel better about him being what he has become.

After a little longer, Omega stops and Rex accidentally lets out a small whine at the loss of affection and the feel of his fur being played with. Rex sits up and smiles kindly at her, making her smile right back at him “Thank you, Rex. Your fur is as soft and fluffy as it looks.” Omega says as she gives him a hug, which is returned after Rex’s moment of surprise passes. He gently cuddles her, making sure not to hurt her. “You’re welcome, Kiddo. I always make sure to take very good care of it.” Omega smiles widely at Rex, warming his heart. “Uncle Rex!!!” Rex turns to see Waxer, Boil and Numa come in. The little teacup comes hopping up to Rex, making the large werewolf smile and, using the gentlest and most careful touch, he picks her up and cradles her in his hand. Omega smiles as the little teacup seems to notice her, and her eyes widen. She gets a wide smile. “Is this Shiny?”

Rex and the other adults let out a chuckle as Rex smiles, then Boil flies over.. “No, no. That's not Shiny, this is Omega, she’s a kid, not an adult.” Rex then looks at Omega. “Numa was a baby when… this happened, so she's never seen a human before, and Waxer and Boil have been waiting to make sure Shiny is safe, before introducing her.” Omega nods. “Oh, okay. Hi, Numa. I’m Omega!!” Numa smiles. “I’m Numa!! I’ve never met a human before.” Omega chuckles softly. “Well, I’ve never met a talking teacup before, so this is new for both of us.” Numa and Omega smile at each other, and everyone else instantly knows that the two are going to be good friends. Numa then looks up at Rex, then back at Omega. “So you’ve met my Uncle Rex! He’s the best, he is so soft and fluffy!!” Omega chuckles as Rex gets an embarrassed expression, Omega smiles. “Yeah, he is. He let me pet him.” Rex chuckles as he sets Numa down.

“So, what did you two come in here for, Waxer?” Waxer sighs, as Boil growls. “I thought it was time Numa met Shiny, but my twin here thinks differently.” Boil glares at the mop. “Because she’s dangerous, remember what her father did to Echo!” Rex gives Boil a glare. “Boil, she isn’t like her father, at least, not like that. She wouldn’t hurt anyone unless they tried to hurt her, or her family.” Waxer turns to Rex. “Thank you, Rex. You can’t hold grudges for your whole life, Boil, especially when this woman has done nothing to harm you, or anyone else.” Boil sighs as Numa smiles widely. “Yeah!! I wanna meet her.” “Want to meet who?” They all turn to see you walk in, followed by Stutter and Hardcase. You freeze when you see the three new objects in the room. “Oh, hello.” You give them a little wave, but the frying pan turns away, giving you the cold shoulder. “Uncle Boil, don’t be rude.” The little teacup gives the frying pan a menacing glare that only comes off as absolutely adorable. You have to cover your mouth to keep from laughing.

Stutter feels a little nervous when he makes eye contact with her. Not having a face makes it difficult for others to know how or what he’s feeling, but from his point of view, he can still make eye contact, despite not having actual eyes. Hardcase, who is floating right next to him, can feel Stutter’s nervous energy, practically radiating off of him. “Hey! You must be Omega!! I’m Hardcase, and the tiny paintbrush is Stutter, don’t mind him, he’s shy.” Omega nods and smiles sweetly at Stutter. “It’s okay, Stutter. You don’t have to be afraid, I know how it is to be around new people, about how it can feel quite intimidating at first, but everyone seems very nice here so I'll be sure to return the same amount of kindness.”

Stutter perks up, wishing that Omega could see his smile. “Hi-i Ome-mega, it's nice to m-meet you. I-I am smiling, e-even though yo-you can’t s-s-see it.” He says after gathering all the confidence he can, laughing a little nervously. Omega notices why he is called Stutter now. She smiles kindly but doesn’t say anything about it. Stutter then feels worried again. “Y-You don’t mind m-my s-stutter do y-you?” He asks and Omega shakes her head. “Of course I don’t, if you can’t help it then it’s not your fault, so don’t worry at all, Stutter.” Stutter perks up and then floats over to the dining table and sets himself down.

The teacup then turns to you and hops over. “Hiya, I’m Numa, you must be Shiny.” You smile. “That's right, It’s very nice to meet you!” Numa turns to Rex. “She’s really nice, Uncle Rex!” Rex smiles, then you let out a chuckle. “Uncle Rex?” Rex rolls his eyes, then you see a mop fly over. “Hey, I’m Waxer, Numa’s father. And the one ignoring you, and being rude is Boil.” You chuckle softly. “It’s nice to meet you, Waxer. And Even though he’s ignoring me, I’m sure it’ll be a pleasure to meet Boil as well, besides, I’m sure he’s not half as stubborn as Rex here.” “You’d be surprised.” Numa whispers under her breath, but Rex for sure hears it. “Hey, is that anyway to speak about your Uncle Rex.” Rex scoops her up carefully and starts nuzzling her gently, making Numa giggle. “Stop, that tickles.”

You watch the interaction, it definitely warms your heart to see how good Rex is with his niece. Then you look over at Omega. “Omega, how are you feeling, Sweetie?” Omega smiles softly. “I’m good, but I’m starving.” “Oh right! Food, that's what we came here for.” 99 flies up, wishing he could facepalm. You smile. “We better get you fed then, any ideas on what you would like to eat?” Omega shrugs. “Me and my parents usually have toast for breakfast.” You struggle to bring a smile to your face, you have been in her shoes during long winters when the food ran out, and you and your father didn’t have much money. “Well, you know, Rex’s favorite food is strawberries and waffles, I’m sure you’ll like it.” Omega smiles. “Sure, I’m not picky.” you nod. “Okay, I’ll go ask Gregor about it.” You quickly walk into the kitchen, leaving the others behind to talk amongst themselves.

You look around the kitchen to see a few objects flying around, preparing for lunch. You can’t seem to see Gregor, but then you see Echo and Fives talking to a knife, fork and spoon. “Hey guys. Good to see you, and I see some new faces.” You say to them, making the twins chuckle and the cutlery. You are confused for a moment, but then you realize why that would have been stupid to say, because-- “Oh, ahah, I guess I can’t really say faces, seeming as you three don’t have one.” They all nod, then Fives speaks up. “Yeah, these three are our cousins, but we consider each other as best friends. The fork is Hevy, the knife is Cutup and the spoon is Droidbait. They are triplets.”

They all say hello and you smile at them before turning back to Fives. “Is Gregor in here?” He nods “Yeah, he’s around somewhere. Why, you hungry?” You shake your head and smile. “No, I’m okay. It’s for Omega, the girl from last night.” Fives and Echo’s eyes widen, and you are pretty sure that the other three’s are as well. “Is she okay?” You frown when Echo asks that “Hopefully she will be.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Fives asks with a concerned look. You look towards the door and back again. “Well, she and her parents were attacked by some bad men, so she is pretty beaten up.” Echo and Fives’ eyes widen, and they both get angry looks as the triplets gasp. “ That's disgusting! How old is she?” Echo asks, making You sigh. “I’m not sure, but she’s pretty young.” Fives shakes his head as heavy sighs. “That's not right, at all.” you shake your head. “No, it isn’t. So we just have to be gentle with her.” They all nod, then you see the very oven mitt you are looking for fly in. “Gregor!” Gregor turns to you and chuckles. “Hey, Shiny. You here for seconds?” You chuckle and shake your head. “No, that young girl from last night, Omega, is hungry, think you could make her some waffles and strawberries?” Gregor gives you a smile. “Of course, anything for the young dear.” you smile and watch Gregor get back to work, making waffles for the young girl outside.

Omega sits and talks to Numa about everything as Rex talks with 99, Hunter and Crosshair. He’s curious about the small girl, and what had happened to her. “She seems sweet, I wonder why anyone would have wanted to hurt her.” Rex whispers quietly, making 99 and Hunter droop a bit as Crosshair gets a sad look. “Who knows? Maybe they wanted money, and since the poor dear’s family was poor, they got angry. It could be anything.” 99 tells him, making Rex sigh. He hopes that her parents survived, he really does.

Rex knows what it’s like to lose parents at a young age, and it is the worst feeling in the world. “We’ll have to go search for them, but… I don’t think they are going to be alive, no matter how much we’d like them too.” They all nod. “Yeah, with what those monsters did to a little girl, what would they have done to her parents?” Hunter says angrily, as he looks over at Omega as she plays with Numa, he wishes he could smile as she turns to all of them, and waves happily. Rex and Crosshair, being the only ones with arms, wave back as she goes back to playing.

“What do we do if her parents are… you know?” Crosshair asks, and Rex sighs. “She will be staying here, of course. Knowing our family, someone will adopt her.” Rex chuckles softly as he says this, but Hunter just hums, deep in thought. He doesn’t know why, but he feels something for Omega, almost like protectiveness. But he’s not sure what it means yet. 99 can feel himself smile, he can tell that Hunter feels something for Omega.

You then walk out carrying a plate with waffles and strawberries, covered in syrup. “Here you go Omega, Gregor cooked this for you.” Omega smiles as she sits down at the table and the food is set in front of her, she starts digging in, absolutely starving. You and Rex both smile, then she looks up and swallows her food. “Thank you!” Rex chuckles as 99, Hunter and Crosshair come over. “Of course, we couldn’t let you starve, now could we.” Rex tells her, and Omega nods as she starts eating again, for the first time in her short life, she feels full and warm.
