Far Away

Summary:

Doctor Lara Collerand meets 4 special little boys.

Before Clone Force 99 was old enough to be unleashed into the field to wreak havoc, they were cadets on Kamino. An unexpected encounter had lasting effects on them all.

Notes:

My first Baby-Bad-Batch story! These boys deserve some love. My favorite fan fics feature Bad Batch members getting adopted, and it's usually by a fellow clone that up and decides it's best they become their buir because these ads are hopeless. But like ... moms are cool too :) I haven't read a fic yet where they get their own mama bear that will also spoil them rotten, so I made my own. This is also the backstory for the next installment of the series (the part I really wanted to write but needed to develop some character history first).

Chapter 1: Prelude

Chapter Text

Prelude

“He's just a boy! You can’t do this.” Firm hands restrained her arms as she reached forward. 

Firm hands shook her lightly. “Lara! Can you hear me?” He looked into her face but was met with a groggy expression that suddenly turned wild.

“Crosshair! Wait!” Her outstretched fingers barely grazed his sleeve. A blank expression settled over his face as he stopped to look at her.

His face contorted in concern. “Lara, look at me!” He struggled to hold on as she tried to pull away, disoriented, weakly slapping at him.

He turned without a word and tore her heart out. 

“No,” she cried. “He’s just a boy … just a boy … ” She clutched his sleeves and rested her head on his chest, gasping between sobs.

You can’t change this , he thought darkly. Nothing changes. Crosshair didn’t look back.

He held her head to him gently. Her breathing eventually slowed; he felt her relax the death-grip on his arms and sit back. Her breathing hitched again when she looked up to see who he was.
