malachite, belladonna, & bells 🪐
- kybernymph <3
THANKS FOR COMIN' BAAAACK @kybernymph 🤣🎉 For this second spell, that toally doesn't have a buncha Omega in it, we're gonna take this bell...hold it up above this spire of malachite that is surrounded by dried belladonna bits to create this spell!
Warnings: Reader is travelling with the batch and technically a nanny/babysitter for Omega (but otherwise nothing much there is developed just mentioned) but Omega is close to "you" because of this. Reader is referred to as a female once (because I got stuck and panicked) Cameos from the rest of the batch but focuses on Hunter and Omega. Omega gets hurt but is very vague, SW typical violence, Marauder is bigger than it is (cuz i fucking say so 🤣🤣). Kinda sorta established relationship, no clear titles at least. Echo being the sass king he is
"Why do I feel like you actually enjoy getting yourself in danger?!" You yelled between shots with your blaster, only peeking at the commando a total of twice.
"I don't enjoy it, my brothers and I just have a magnet for it!" he yelled back, annoyed with your antics
You ducked back behind cover and gave him a disbelieving look
"Oh yes, just you and your brothers are magnets for trouble. Totally don't make the worst decisions ever and have a little girl in your care that has the exact same issue" you sassed, but then you quickly glanced about noticing something unfortunate "OMEGA'S GONE"
It was as if someone had pressed a panic button and loud blaring sirens were going off. Suddenly everyone was rushing out coordinates and if they'd seen her or not - honestly, it was giving you a major headache.
"Where was the last you saw her?" Hunter asked having dove to your side to hide with you "You said you'd keep her right with you"
"I can't babysit it-" you gestured wildly to him and vaguely where the others were "-you all outta her!"
Hunter groaned and hung his helmuted head for a moment
"Alright, look. We'll keep the blaster-fire at bay, you...you find the kid"
With an extremely displeased look on your face, you agreed. You just knew, deep down in the pit of your soul, it'd be just your luck to die via blaster shot looking for a guy's sister-daughter. Now wouldn't it.
"You're lucky I love you!" you yelled out and then continued to grumble as you crawled through the debris "Blonde, blonde, blonde - come on kiddo..."
You carefully searched about, narrowly avoiding blaster fire as you hunted down the tween - only to fall right on top of her
"Don't hey me, what are you doing down here?!" you huffed, not really mad just stressed beyond beleif
"Hey...!" she whined rubbing her head
"Being stuck, I couldn't get out when I fell in" she grumbked
"Why? Doesn't look too tall" you mused gathering yourself and having to jump to reach the ledge of the small aclove
"Because I can't jump" she mumbled looking away
To this confusing admission, you turned about to see her leg all banged up. In an instant all frustration left your system as concern flooded it in the very same moment. You couched next to the girl and gingerly pulled the debris from around her anckle and leg
"Oh....oh sweetie..." she cooed softly in pity
Despite her stubborn attempt at holding them back, which was honestly amazing with how much pain she should be in, a flood burst out and she began wailing
"Okay, just one second honey" you said in a soft and caring tone, quickly getting her leg free and then delicately pulling her to your lap.
It took some very careful maneuvering and even further gentle prodding to ensure her form was safely settled in your hold in a way that would not injury her further
She clung to you and wailed harder
"Alright, its alright" you soothed, petting her hair as she sobbed into yohr neck "Such a strong girl, you did so good."
Reaching into your belt you pulled up your commlink
"I'm going to need a pick up for a very bruised flower here" you called quietly "We're in a bit of a precarious situation and Omega is hurt - she's very upset so if you boys could finish off those goons and get over here ASAP, that'd be great"
"Omega's hurt?!"
"Where are the coordinates?"
"How far are you two, think you can wave an object or something to give us a b-"
"Enough" Hunter huffed as his brothers promptly went into protection mode, then called your name "-give us cords, we'll be right there"
"I'll do what I can here" you promised then held Omega tighter "Alright, your brothers are coming just hold on okay?"
It took a bit of time before the batch was able to get to you both. Echo's helm was the first to peek in at you - before he yelled for his brothers to hurry their asses over. Then Tech peeked in to assess the location, and then Wrecker dropped down to help the two of you out of the collapsed pocket - the largest of the group carefully holding Omega up out of the hole for his brothers to grab before he pushed you up and then climbed out himself.
But with that completed, the lot of you quickly ferried Omega to the maurader to treat her wounds.
"Omega, I cannot properly treat your wounds with you clinging to her" Tech complained with a cross looK.
Omega had found a way onto your lap and clung to you during the whole process and had then on made the doctoring job quite the pain while she cried quietly into your shoulder
"If she needs her, let the kid be" Hunter sighed, a bit dejected but he waited until the bandaging process was complete and everyone had parted to wind down before he sat with you both
"Hunterrr" Omega whined, tilting away from you to lean into his shoulder instead
"I got you" he soothed
The two of you did an awkward juggle of her body, trying to avoid a grab or unwanted touch while trying to move her safely, but the second she was close enough she had latched her arms onto Hunter as if she were made of velcro.
The designated father, in the moment, let out a breath as he leaned into her tight hold - just happy that she was seeking comfort in him and that she was safe.
You had no intentions of feeling the way you did for Hunter or the rest of the batch when you'd first agreed to be Omega's glorified babysitter. But as time wore on, being in close quarters with them all only made you feel like you'd be pulled into a family circle unlike any you'd thought even possible. But, you'd be lying if you said that your feelings were entirely familial...you recently had, regretfully and accidentally, fostered emotions for the bandana-ed leader of the squad. You were quite mad about it too, especially when you first realized it. But no matter what you did, nothing seemed to change your heart's view. And it most certainly wasn't changing from watching him cradle and embrace the young girl as if she were made of the most precious materials in the galaxy.
"- thank you" he said in a soft tone, his gaze meeting yours
You were called out of your thoughts by your name falling from his lips
You tried not to see into the affection that was lingering there as plain as day. Tried not to notice how he squeezed your thigh in a silent thank you. Nor how sweetly he said you name...
"I just sat with her, Hunter" you shook your head softly, down-playing your part in the situation
Feeling flustered you managed a simple nod
"Omega needed comforting and because of you, she had that. You kept her safe and kept her company while the rest of us fought" he urged as he grabbed your hand and held it tightly "we are lucky to have you. All of us, not just Omega"
"I...should get cleaned up" you mumbled, but as you attempted to stand -
Omega peeked her teary gaze at you and tugged your shirt in a vain attempt to pull you into Hunter's lap with her
"Omega" The commando scolded delicately
"Don't go, stay with us" she pleaded in a small voice that made you very will to live crumble.
In and instant, your ass re-met it's seat and your side was practically plastered to Hunter's
Grey eyes looked at you with amusement before he shook his head
"You are so wrapped around her finger" he teased in a whisper
"Oh and like you aren't?" you sassed
Hunter let out a breathy laugh and leaned a bit more into your space
The two ofyou sat in absolute silence otherwise until Omega had exhaustedherself out and fallen asleep. But with the added heat and weight on Omega sprawled across both of your laps, you were beginning to nod off as well
Hunter, noticing this, smiled at your vain attempt to stay awake. In a slowly made movement, his arm reached around you and gently guided your head to lean against his shoulder - taking care to not disturb you enough to wake you up or burst the atmosphere hanging around the three of you.
"How long are they going to stay like that?" Tech whispered
"Ahw, let them be" Wrecker beamed "I've been watching them dance 'round each other forEVER!"
Echo peeked at his brothers then past them to the scene occuring in the back. With a cheshire smile worming onto his face, he nudged both batchers to get them moving along
"Alright that's enough of that" he shooed "It's like neither of you haven't seen parents with their kid before"
Wrecker snickered and turned back to get the ship started up
"Technically-"
"Can it Technically" Echo huffed turning the bespeckled commando around and pushing him towards the seat "You got flying to do"
