He doesn't have any personal things on his wall or bed after his brothers left. These things were personal and only for The Bad Batch to see. For the Empire he has no petsonality. Almost all the people around him were strangers. Crosshair was alone in a place full of people. The only ones who understood him had left him. He wasn't able to show his feelings to the people who didn't see him like his brothers did.
He was so lonely and angy😭😭😭
He was like a teenager with adolescent maximalism
And later in prison he had nothing at all and he didn't want to have anything. He understood how mislead he was and decided that he should accept his imprisonment. He thought he didn't deserve good things anymore and lost hope in everything (until the little sunshine came to save him from prison and himself in his self-loathing). His family abandoned him (in his point of view), the Empire betrayed him. He only sent one message only to warn the batch to keep Omega away from the Empire. After doing that he almost gave up on himself
He must have felt so broken

FHR Flash Prompt: Old enough
Pairing: Sidestep & Chen
Warnings: Just assholes being antagonistic
Word Count: 309
Prompt: write an interaction between Steel and your Sidestep pre-HB, and keep it to 300 words or LESS.
"Are you even old enough to drink that?"
The dry drawled question makes you choke on the rum and coke Ortega had fetched from the bar for you. Alcohol burns your sinuses as you glare daggers at Steel.
"What if I'm not?" you hiss, wiping your face roughly with a napkin. "You gonna arrest me?"
His left eyebrow inches up as he sips his own drink, and the quiet judgment makes your teeth grind. Ever since you dared reveal your face to the Rangers, his respect and mild curiosity about you has devolved into nitpicking and prying that reminds you far too much of the handlers at the Farm, circling for perceived weakness like sharks scenting chum.
"I just don't want you to get Ortega in trouble," he says with false innocence. "Seeing as you don't seem capable of buying your own drink."
You know it isn't a dig at your financial situation, that's beneath even him. He's trying to goad you into showing an ID you don't have.
"I'm old enough," you grind out between clenched teeth.
An unexpected hand touches your shoulder and you just barely manage to not leap out of your seat. "She is," Ortega says and settles in beside you as you scoot deeper into the booth. He winks at Steel, a smug I-know-more-than-you grin on his face. "Trust me."
That grin rankles you almost as much as Steel's suspicion, but you bite your tongue as Anathema makes him trade places so she's sitting across from you. A perverse joke about your decanting age itches the back of your mind, and you smother it with the urge to show them all just how wrong they are about you.
You still can't decide if it was worth it to show your face to them. But it must be because you keep coming back for more.

Random question- does Miguel know that Ronin is a ninja?
As in, like he obviously knows that he's a ninja, but have they ever fought together or has he seen him fight? I know they met when they were younger, but I feel like Ronin Mikey is very soft now, especially with his kids.
OOO or- on the other side- has Ronin Mikey seen Miguel fight?
Just wondering :3
Miguel definitely knows and they definitely sparr together sometimes, just for funsies and whenever Mikey wishes to not go rusty on his training.
I depict them having a fairly peaceful life (outside of Miguel's spidey job) so, they actually haven't fought side by side to an actual threat together they'd be so cool tho.
While Miguel hasn't actually seen Mikey fighting to his full potential against an enemy, he has seen other versions of Mikey fight while checking on different universes because of the spidey job. He can imagine how badass his own Mikey can be considering what he has witnessed.
In Mikey's case, he hasn't actually seen Miguel fight against an actual threath but he def has a certain idea because of whenever they train/sparr together.

Another thing I didn't post about earlier that I'm pissed off about is that I accidentally missed an appointment with my psychiatrist, because I lost my appointment card and didn't get a text reminder the day before like I usually do (when the secretary remembers...) and now it's apparently up in the air if the office will send my prescription to me in the meantime while I wait for the next available appointment because "I haven't been seen by the team" and "maybe an exception can be made" but there's no guarantee and I might just have to come off cold turkey for the next few months, lol.
I'm going to ask my GP if he'll write me a script if I don't hear back from the secretary again by tomorrow afternoon (she often says she'll call me back and then never does and doesn't return any of my voicemails when I try to get in touch). But it's like... I'm not a new patient, I am not asking for any dosages to be changed, I have been going to this practice for eleven fucking years?? I'm just so fucking sick of getting jerked around like this and the barrier to Getting Help being so fucking high everything is made as difficult as possible by everyone who is supposed to help me.
Like, yes, I did miss an appointment and I didn't call about it (I thought I'd missed it last week, because I ran out of my meds a few days ago, but apparently it was scheduled for today) and that is my fault and my responsibility, but why is it such a fucking production having a script fucking emailed to my pharmacy like they've done a thousand times before?
I'm annoyed about this now because I am exhausted and it's not even 7.30 p.m., because coming off a hefty dose of psychostimulants without tapering it off will do that to you. But like. Ugh.
