Mother of The Bad Batch-a Bad Batch story (ON HOLD)

Chapter five

Suddenly two people stormed into the corridor. The man had brown dark brown hair and blue eyes and the woman had blonde hair and green eyes. They both looked a little bit older—probably in their forties or fifties.

The woman knocked on the door to Riley's room and Nala Se answered. "We've come to see our daughter, Riley Elrod. I'm Lissa Elrod and this is my husband Blin." The woman said.

"Hey it's Riley's mom!" Wrecker whispered to Hunter. Nala Se greeted the pair and let them inside. "That's not fair! Why can't we go see her?!" Wrecker asked. "Because we're not family." Tech answered.

Crosshair rolled his eyes and looked away from his brothers. "WE ARE KRIFFING FAMILY!" Wrecker yelled. "Udesiir, vod. We'll see her soon." Hunter assured him.

"This is what happens when you work with clones." Riley's mother told her. "Mum, someone targeted the Kaminoans. Not the clones." Riley retorted.

"As soon as you leave this room you are coming back to Cato Neimoidia." Her father commanded. "No! You can't control my life. I will stay here, and I will watch over my sons!" Riley yelled. Her eyes widened when she realized what she said.

"Your what?" Blin asked. "You're talking about those little clones out there, aren't you?" Lissa questioned her. "Unbelievable. Riley, they aren't your children—they're not your family. We are you parents, and you will come home with us." Lissa told her.

The boys rushed into Riley's apartment. "Mom! Are you okay?" Tech asked as he and Wrecker carefully wrapped their arms around her. "Yes I'm alright, kiddos." She told them. Riley was in a wheelchair due to her leg injuries, she also had several burns on her face and arms.

Hunter also wrapped his arms around her and he cried into her chest. "We don't want you to leave!" He cried.

"Neither do I hun. But my parents want me to, so I have to listen." She said. The three boys let go of her and Riley smiled at Crosshair. "I've got something for you, Cross." She told him. Riley rolled into her room and came back with a slightly charred Lula on her lap.

"Y-you still got it?" Crosshair asked. "Yep. C'mere buddy." She held her arms open and Crosshair hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry!" He whispered. "Shhh, it's okay bud. It wasn't your fault." She reassured him, rubbing circles on his back.

Crosshair let go and stood by his brothers. "Do you four wanna help me with my things?" Riley asked, gesturing to her suitcases and bags scattered around the room. The boys nodded and grabbed two each—aside from Wrecker, who grabbed four.

The four boys walked out of the apartment, with Wrecker pushing Riley in her wheelchair. They got to the landing pad and met with Lissa and Blin.

"Ah there you are, Riley. We'll take her now boys." Lissa said as she shoved Wrecker out of the way and started rolling Riley towards their ship.

"Mum wait! At least let me say goodbye, please?" Riley begged. Lissa rolled her eyes and turned her daughter around. "You have five minutes." Was all she said before going up the ramp into the shuttle.

Riley sighed and looked at her boys with a sad smile. "Come give your mother a hug." She held her arms open and laughed as all four cadets practically crushed her in a hug.

"We're gonna miss you mom." Wrecker said. "We will not forget you." Tech added. Riley sighed and hugged them back. "I won't ever forget you four either." She told them. "Will you be able to visit us?" Hunter asked. "I don't know kid....maybe."

They stayed like that for a few more minutes before Lissa came out of the shuttle. "C'mon. Your father is becoming inpatient." She demanded.

The boys unwrapped themselves from Riley and stood back so she could be taken by her mother. "I love you four, always remember that." Riley told them before she was wheeled into the ship and never seen again.
