Chapter Text
“You’re a clone? You don’t looked like the other three I know. The older gents that are part of our… well, guess, Rebel gang?”
“I’m a defective clone.”
“Defective? You mean like, broken?”
“I am not broken. I’m enhanced. There’s a clear difference.”
“Oh.”
“Yes, that.”
“Well, then…”
Hunter had arrived to the Rebel base to visit Omega while the he rest of his family remained on Pabu completing a project Tech had devised for them all. Echo, Crosshair and Wrecker helping out as it as important enough to compete on tone for the sake of the islanders.
So this time it was Hunter only getting the honour to get to visit their Kid.
But, out of the blue, Hunter found himself surrounded by two… Rebels, he guessed. Those two having stared at him intently since his arrival and suddenly, started, what, interrogating him?
Well, Hunter, wasn’t having any of it. Immediately snapping to the defensive of things.
“You’ve got a lot of hair for a clone” Kallus noted, most likely competing the outlook to Rex, Gregor and Wolffe, two of the bold now.
“Again, I’m a defect. So guess it’s all part of the territory.”
Not exactly true as Tech and Crosshair never had the similar set of hair on their heads. But Hunter wasn’t going to reveal that.
Hunter was getting really annoyed of the duo’s seeming complaints too, about his appearance. Of course Hunter knew Rex, Gregor and Wolffe, but he was in no mood to explain his origins to someone he did not even know.
And certainly sounding more like an interrogation than anything else in Hunter’s ears, as Zeb and Kallus having practically stopped Hunter in his steps as soon as he had gotten out from the Marauder, asking all kinds of stupid questions.
And what of his hair?!?
Sure it was long and lush and slightly greyed out, but so what! Hunter was very proud of his halo!
“So, what’s ya doing out here anyway?”
“Spying on us are you?”
Kallus and Zeb exchanged glances and burst into laughter. It was their way of teasing new arrivals. And Hunter? Well he certainly was fresh meat for that!
Leaving Hunter to think the two rally had an odd sense of humour. Truly odd!
“Just pulling yer leg is all. Hunter is it?”
“Yes. That’s what I said.”
Hunter was starting to get really irritated each passing moment.Thankfully, Omega came running towards them. Hunter letting out a relieved sigh. Not that he was in any danger, but yeah, he was, annoyed!
“Hunter!”
“Omega!”
She rushed into the awaiting arms of her brother’s. The two sharing a very long hug.
“It’s been a while.”
“Sorry for that. Lots to do.” Omega excused her not visiting with her family as often as agreed.
“Is okay Kid.”
Kallus and Zeb having observed the interaction curiously, as yes, they knew Omega was a clone, but the full extent of her family only revealed to them now.
“Are those two giving you grief, Hunter?”
Omega gave the evil eye to Zeb and Kallus, knowing how they could get with new arrivals just for the heck of it.
“Nah, we’re all good here, Kid.”
“Good! Then come on, I will show you around the base.”
Omega was dragging Hunter away, giving him the tour of her new home, leaving Zeb and Kallus to their own devices.
“Interesting clone that one.” Kallus commented leisurely.
“Yeah, he really is.” Zeb admitted as much.
The two of them shared another glance, a knowing and understanding smirk forming on both their faces.
They weren’t done with Hunter, not just yet.
