And Crosshair just hates that.

Summary
Echo had never had any particular talents. He'd never sought to be special, never tried to break the mould. He'd never aspired to be anything more than a clockwork soldier, watching his far more brilliant brothers rise up above him. He'd never expected to wake up one day and find out that he was, in fact, the last of them.
Funny old galaxy, really.
Now he was in the Bad Batch and one thing he was rapidly beginning to understand is this: in a galaxy filled with combat engineers, the Bad Batch are artists. Echo had never really known much about art. At least... that's what he'd always thought. New body, new squad - maybe it was time to look at things in a whole new way.
A story about art, war, coping, hanging on, letting go, restoration, reforging, plotting in a brig, military intelligence isn't, Wrecker's diplomacy doesn't, cooking, the thin line between genius and madness, starting over, struggling with loss, team bonding, art therapy, guerilla knitting therapy, big boom therapy, shaking down shinies for fun and profit, guilt, rage, forgiveness, waging war by fitting in...
... and making your peace with standing out.

Summary
“The one they call Echo never adapts to his situation.” -Shaak Ti season 3 episode 1 of the Clone Wars
The Bad Batch helps Echo adapt, and maybe, just maybe, he can help them out too. And remember, the Kaminoans are watching…
This fanfic takes place right after the battle of Anaxes, but before Echo officially joins the bad batch, as in when they’re on the shuttle back to base during season 7, episode 4, but will follow him through his first mission with the batch
