Never speak of canon to me ever again.
Yoooooo it’s here!!!! Enjoy this chip fic between Crosshair and Omega (who are going to need some uncle niece interactions, Dave.) No TWs really, besides mention of blood and a significant cut? Enjoy 💕 (also, I made up all of the CT numbers besides Crosshair’s. If we get any canon confirmed, I’ll edit it.)
CT-9904 opened his eyes, the back of his head throbbing. He glanced around.
It was a fairly small room, with a bunk and a chair. He had one restraint on his middle, holding him to another chair in the center of the room. Pathetic. He could break that in a split second.
His attention was drawn to muffled shouting coming from across the ship. His brain automatically identified the voices.
“We have to help him!” CT-9902. Nickname: Wrecker. Traitor of the Empire.
“We know, Wrecker,” CT-1409. Nickname: Echo. Traitor of the Empire.
“We don’t have the supplies necessary for the surgery just yet. We’ll have to make a supply run,” CT-9903. Nickname: Tech. Traitor of the Empire.
“Then we make a stop at the nearest planet. We’ll have to keep Omega on the ship with one of us since that bounty hunter’s after her,” CT-9901. Nickname: Hunter. Traitor of the Empire.
Omega was a name he was not familiar with. At least, he didn’t think he was. There was something in the back of his mind that was pressing forward with each voice, but he passed it off as residual pain from being knocked out. After all,
What else could it be?
Small footsteps caught his attention. They were too light to be any of the traitors. Perhaps an animal?
The door opened with a hiss, and CT-9904 startled when he was greeted with a child.
She glanced both ways before stepping inside, carrying a glass of water. “Hello,” she said, giving him a small wave.
“What do you want?” he hissed, trying to intimidate her. She shrugged.
“Just came to check up on you. I brought you some water if you want it.”
He glared. “How do I know it’s not poisoned?”
“If we were trying to kill you, we would have done so on the battlefield.”
We…
“You’re one of the traitors.”
Her eyes widened a millimeter before she shrugged again. “I guess. My name’s Omega, although you already know that.”
He did know that.
Why?
“Once I get out of here, I’m reporting you all to the Empire. They won’t be merciful.”
“No, you won’t,” she said simply, setting the glass down beside her and sitting on the bed. “We’ll get the chip out, I promise. None of this is your fault.”
He scoffed. “You act like I don’t have a choice.”
“Do you?”
He faltered. Did he?
He ignored her question. “Y-You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I do, and I know you know that. It’s not your fault.”
His headache grew stronger. What was going on? “Shut… up.”
Her eyes seemed to stare straight through his soul. He didn’t like it. “None of us blame you for this, Crosshair. Not Hunter, not Wrecker, not Tech, not Echo. None.”
Something snapped. Something changed. He didn’t know what, but suddenly the child sitting in front of him wasn’t an enemy, and the men in the other room weren’t traitors. But- but they wer-are! They are traitors of the Empire!
Since when did he care about the Empire?
Since the Jedi attempted the Emporer’s life. They disobeyed orders.
But… since when was that an issue?
He shook his head madly to try and get rid of the swarming thoughts. “What are you doing?” he snapped, breaking the restraint on his middle. The girl didn’t flinch.
“I’m helping you. The Empire can’t hurt you anymore.”
The Empire…
“They can,” he breathed, and he couldn’t believe the words came out of his mouth. Those were the words of treasonists. Traitors. He wasn’t.
Was he?
“They won’t,” she said firmly, and he was almost inclined to believe her. The thought immediately repulsed him. The Empire never hurt him. This… this child was planting treasonous thoughts in his head. Was she a Jedi? Was he being mind tricked? Was that why a bounty hunter is after her?
“You’re a Jedi,” he hissed, venom in his voice as he stood up from the chair. Her eyes widened.
“What- Crosshair no! I’m- I’m not planting the thoughts in your head! That’s you!”
“Liar,” he snapped. A tear rolled down his cheek. Why was he crying? His eyes landed on a knife that was resting on a counter next to his rifle and gear. She backed up into the wall.
“Crosshair, you know I’m not a Jedi. Please!” she yelled, her eyes glassy.
The pounding in his head distracted him from the voices silencing in the other room.
In one fluid motion, he grabbed the knife, slashing it across where her neck was.
She twisted her head to the side. The knife caught on the base of her neck, dragging to the side, then up underneath her chin and up to the corner of her lip.
She screamed.
CT-9904 paused, the knife resting inches away from her face. What had he done? The girl looked up at him, her brown eyes wide with terror. Blood flowed steadily from the gash. Too much blood.
“Cross… pl-please.”
“Omega!!”
He shot his head up, but couldn’t get his body to move. The sound of pounding footsteps rang throughout the hallway.
The door opened and Hu-CT-9901 ran in, blaster drawn. “Step. Away. From the kid.” he growled.
He dropped the knife. It clattered to the floor, and he realized with a start that his hands were shaking.
“I said step away from the kid!” He barked. CT-9903’s head appeared over CT-9901’s shoulder, and his eyes widened when they landed on Ome-the girl.
“Hunter,” he whispered. “I need to get to Omega.”
Hunter glanced over at her, and his gun started to shake. “Cross. Please. Step away.”
CT-9904 obeyed. What other choice did he have? It was that or his life.
He knew that wasn’t the reason.
Tec- CT-9903 rushed in and dropped beside the girl. He put a hand on her cheek, and they exchanged a few words before she turned back to the Sargent.
“Hu-Hunter, please. It… it wasn’t his fault.”
“Omega,” he said, his voice sounding more terrified than angry.
“Please. He- he’s in there. I saw him.”
His gun dropped, and CT-9904 sighed in relief.
“Wrecker!” CT-9901 called. CT-9902 came in.
“Where’s the kid?”
CT-9901 nodded in her direction, and CT-9902’s skin paled slightly. CT-9903 picked up the girl.
“I’m going to see what I can do for her. Echo has the medkit prepared, yes?”
CT-9901 nodded.
“Then let’s go, Omega.”
CT-9903 promptly left the room. CT-9902 turned to the Sargent. “Echo said we’re about a parsec away from the nearest planet.”
“Good,” he sighed.
CT-9902 shifted his weight. “Echo… uh, gave me a sedative. For Cross.”
CT-9901 nodded in understanding, taking the hypo from his grasp. He turned to CT-9904.
“Are you going to fight me on this?”
His legs were shaking something fierce, but he stood his ground. He would fight till his dying breath for the Empire. That’s what he was made for. That was his purpose. He- he…
“No,” he said, and he scowled at how meek he sounded.
The Sargent’s eyes seemed to soften, and he approached him carefully before sticking the hypo in his neck. CT-9904 dropped onto the bed. He was vaguely aware of the blood staining the spot next to him before his vision went dark.
------------------------------------------------------------
Years went by.
The cut healed into a thin, white scar, curving from the middle base of her neck to the right side, going up the middle right of her jaw, and just barely past the corner of her lip. Whenever she was asked about it, she would always say she got it from a ship crash.
Crosshair would always flinch.
If anyone ever gave him a funny look, he would say that he was the one piloting the ship. The others would always be quick to butt in and say the ship had been sabotaged, and there was no way for him to avoid the crash.
Crosshair couldn’t look at Omega for a long time, and the thin, white line haunted him for the rest of his life.

A mini animatic. All that time on that platform... poor Crosshair. [Spoiler-free]
I have a weird obsession with Omega & Crosshair (fave sibling duo in TBB). I FEEL Cross & Omega have a VERY strong bond (First shown in S1E1). He just doesn’t know it YET lol! ALWAYS been my prayer that they will be reunited & I think he will WANT to protect her from his love for her!
I’m still TERRIFIED what will happen to her! Hunter is her FATHER, BUT Cross is also meant to be her protector!
I AM LEARNING HAWAIIAN TOO (day 466 or 467 straight on DUOLINGO lol)…. It’s number one on my bucket list BUT alas I doubt I will due to my military injuries and chronic illnesses lol. BUT THIS IS AMAZING never ever thought I would EVER FIND ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!!
Can anyone please please make a picture of this in ANY WAY AT ALL????? If there is ANYTHING anyone knows about that’s like this (Omega SPECIFICALLY like this please tag me :):):)!)

They had been warned that this could happen. Obi-Wan had told them that having been trapped in that Hell of a house all her life, Omega hadn't had the chance to be exposed to all those childhood germs other kids did, leaving her more susceptible to them now. And a month after starting school, it finally happened.
Omega had woken up on Monday morning with the worst cold Crosshair had ever witnessed. Coughs had racked her shivering body that was half delirious with fever.
The boys had preciously decided on a rota to take care of Omega on sick days, and on Friday it was finally Crosshair's turn.
Thankfully her fever had broken by now but she was still bunged up with snot, so Hunter had decided to keep her off the rest of the week, hoping that she would be fighting fit by Monday.
So all Crosshair had to do was keep an eye on her.
Which was kind of the problem.
He had managed to get over most of his ill placed jealously after his talk with Hunter, but unfortunately Crosshair was well aware that trauma didn't disappear that easily.
There was no denying that any of them were Jango's offspring, with his apparent super spreader genes. But where the rest of their siblings were all blunt corners, he and Omega were sharp edges with their pointed features and lighter hair that was unmistakably the mark of Nala Se.
And Crosshair hated it. He hated it so much he once smashed the mirror in the bathroom which Ninety-Nine never replaced. He could deal with his own appearance. Shaving his hair till it went grey and getting a tattoo across his face helped.
But then Omega came into their lives. And whilst Crosshair would be eternally grateful that she never had to step foot in their sorry excuse for a mother's home again, sometimes just being around her hurt.
To see that same face that tortured him his whole life in the innocent one of a little girl felt like a cruel joke that the universe was playing to specifically spite him.
He had resorted to avoiding her which wasn't easy in a small house packed with six people. However he figured it was the better option than accidently snapping at her with something he knew that he would immediately regret. He was pretty sure Hunter at least had noticed although his older brother hadn't mentioned anything about it, yet. He knew it was something he'd have to confront eventually.
He just didn't think that day would be today.
Crosshair sat on the sofa, whilst Omega was bundled up on the other, Gonky curled up on one side of her and a stack of tissue boxes on the other, as she watched TV. Having missed out on the past decade of pop culture, Hunter was trying to rectify that, starting with the Disney classics after Omega had asked what a Disney Princess was when one of her classmates had made fun of her for not knowing. They were currently up to Lilo and Stitch. Whilst Crosshair was much more of a Ghibli fan, he didn't mind the colourful cartoon musicals, not that he would ever admit it.
He kept one eye on Omega whilst scrolling through his phone. Replying to the texts Hunter sent about every five minutes reassuring him that yes their sister was indeed still alive and ignoring the messages from his asshole of a boss Rampart who was still giving him shit about taking a day off even though Aayla had offered to cover some of his sessions for him.
The movie had barely finished playing when Omega burst into tears.
Shit, Crosshair thought, rushing over to the girl.
"Are you hurt? What's wrong?" He asked. Hunter was going to kill him if anything happened to her on his watch.
"Sh-She... she's just like me!" Omega managed choke through her sobs.
"What do you mean?" He asked, not understanding where this conversation was going.
Omega pointed at the screen where the characters were currently visiting a montage of Elvis exhibits as the credits rolled.
"Lilo! She's Polynesian! She is raised by her siblings! She's just like me!"
That was when Crosshair realised she wasn't crying because she was hurt. Happiness might not be the correct to describe word it either. It was hard to put into words the freeing ideal of being known.
And God had Crosshair realised just how badly he'd fucked up.
Growing up, if he'd seen a movie like that with someone like him in it. Maybe he would've been able to recognise himself in someone else instead of feeling isolated in a body that nobody else could understand.
He hadn't even realised he'd pulled Omega into a hug until Gonky tried to jump between them to get in on the action.
Omega's sobs subsided into giggles as Gonky's tongue locked away her tears, tickling her face.
"Let her go you big lump." Crosshair told the husky, nudging him back to the girl's side. Since he was now over here anyway, Crosshair figured he might as well stay and settled into Omega's over side. He picked up the nearby remote.
"It might be garbage, a lot of the Disney sequels are but they made a second film if you want to watch that?"
Omega nodded eagerly, curling against his shoulder, as though it was the most natural thing in the world, even though it was the first time she had ever done it before.
To distract himself from getting teary eyed as well, Crosshair pressed play.
I have a weird obsession with Omega & Crosshair (fave sibling duo in TBB). I FEEL Cross & Omega have a VERY strong bond (First shown in S1E1). He just doesn’t know it YET lol! ALWAYS been my prayer that they will be reunited & I think he will WANT to protect her from his love for her!
I’m still TERRIFIED what will happen to her! Hunter is her FATHER, BUT Cross is also meant to be her protector!
Omega’s in her teens, still learning, forever hungry for knowledge. She launches another shot with her bow, hitting the target dead in its centre. Hunter smirks, Wrecker cheers, Tech has a glisten in his eyes, and Echo pats her on the shoulder as he sends her praise. “I taught her that,” Crosshair sneers. Hunter rolls his eyes at him, but it’s nice to see that smugness in Crosshair’s eyes. The same smugness that Hunter has seen whenever Crosshair prises his brother, and now, he’s finally praising his sister. Sure, it’s taken years; years to amend what was once broken between Crosshair and his family, years for Crosshair to accept that he has yet another sibling, years to earn back his trust and loyalty. But they’ve finally managed it. “How was that?” Omega questions. Her question is direct, not missing a beat as she gawks at her brother - the tall and slender one, the one that she’s eager to earn respect from. “Better than last time,” Crosshair replies. “But we still need to work on your footing…” Crosshair begins, listing off the few minor details that she’s apparently missed. Has she really missed them? Or is Crosshair chalking up any excuse to try and bury how proud he is of her? Oh, he’s proud, but he’s not ready to accept that, nor show it.
