Hello, everyone. This prompt was suggested by The Generic Ficer. Enjoy.
Hunter looked at Omega who was shivering. She didn't have any armor and no protective clothing. Hunter held up his hand and walked over to Omega.
"You're freezing." Hunter gasped as he touched Omega.
"This is all I have to keep me warm." Omega shivered.
"We should have gotten you clothes sooner than this. I'm sorry, kid. Here, maybe we can work something out."
The batch stopped and Echo walked over. Hunter removed his pack and pulled out his extra pair of blacks. He pulled the shirt over Omega's and he tied it so that it fits Omega better. The shirt alone was down to Omega's knees, but the shirt seemed to be enough to keep Omega warm.
"It's only gonna get colder. Come here. I'll carry ya." Hunter sighed. Hunter wrapped the sleeves of his shirt around Omega's hands to keep them warm. Omega wrapped her arms around Hunter's neck and let Hunter carry her. They passed Wrecker who held out his hands. "NO, Wrecker. You always get to carry her. It's my turn."
It wasn't long before the batch arrived back at the ship. Hunter set Omega down in her room and he covered her with the blanket.
"Warm enough, kid?" Hunter wondered.
"Yeah," Omega replied.
"We'll land on a planet and get you some clothes."
"Ok."
Hunter rubbed Omega's head and then walked into the cockpit where his brothers were resting.
"Where's the nearest safe planet?" Hunter asked.
"Alderaan. We'll be safe there." Tech replied.
"Do we have the credits?"
"Only enough to get her another change of clothes."
"It'll have to do for now."
It wasn't long before they arrived on Alderaan and went through all the proper channels. They landed and walked out of their ship to see a man walk up.
"It's been a long time since I've seen clones. What is your business here on Alderaan?" The man questioned.
"We're not with the Empire. We're fugitives. We need clothes for the kid." Hunter explained. Omega walked out from behind Hunter and waved.
"Who is this child?"
"Hello, I'm Omega. I'm a female clone." Omega greeted. "These are my brothers."
"I see. Come, there is a shop nearby. You will find what you need." The man replied.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Bail Organa."
The batch looked at each other and then followed Organa to the nearby shop. They walked in and Omega looked around. She saw a long shirt and she raised an eyebrow. She walked around and looked at some of the clothes. Echo followed Omega closely and helped her find the children's clothes.
"What about this?" Echo asked as he held up a girly outfit.
"Nah, it's too..." Omega trailed off. "Girly? I want clothes to help me blend in. Clothes that are meant for what we do."
Omega saw some shirts and she looked through them and found one her size. It was the same color as Hunter's civvies. Omega found pants and grabbed a pair.
"These clothes are thicker. They'll keep you warmer, but it won't be enough." Hunter sighed as he looked at them. Hunter found the coats and he held up a blueish one. "Try this one."
Omega tried the coat on and smiled.
"Nice and warm." Omega smiled. She pulled the hood over her head and smiled up at Hunter. Hunter grabbed a pair of snow pants and Omega tried them on. "I like these."
"Good," Hunter replied. As Omega stepped out of the pants, Hunter noticed that her boots were worn out. He sighed and knelt beside Omega. "You need new boots too."
"But we don't have enough."
"You'll get blisters if you try and wear our boots. You need new ones. Besides, you're growing out of these."
"DO not worry about the cost, pay what you can," Organa stated.
"We only have enough credits for a pair of clothes." Hunter sighed.
"As I said, do not worry about the cost. The girl needs clothes. That's the important thing."
Omega walked over to Crosshair who was looking at the boots.
"Here, these should be your size." Crosshair sighed as he grabbed a pair. Omega tried them on and smiled.
"Perfect," Omega answered as she took them off.
Tech walked over to Hunter with a couple of sets of clothes.
"She needs clothes for night and when we're on a warmer planet," Tech stated. Tech grabbed a poncho and held it up in front of Omega. "This will keep her dry when it rains."
"Now she needs a hat or something to protect her face from the sun," Hunter replied.
Wrecker looked at the hats and found one that he knew Omega would like. He placed it on Omega's head and she giggled.
"I like it."Omega giggled.
They paid for the clothes and walked back to their ship.
"Thank you, senator." Hunter thanked.
"Your welcome. I wish I could offer you safety here, but sadly, I can not. Perhaps if you were not clones, I could." Organa sighed.
"We've survived this long. We can survive as long as we need to."
Hunter walked onto the ship and they took off. Omega walked out of her room in her nightclothes and Hunter smiled.
"Better?" HUnter wondered.
"Yeah. These are nice." Omega chuckled.
"Now, we can wash your other clothes and you won't have to wear our clothes."
"And I'll be ready for everything that comes our way."
"Let's hope so."
THE END
