Your personal Tumblr library awaits
Hey, everyone! I know it's been a hot minute, but I have an idea for a fic that I'm probably never going to right, but I thought you guys might like to hear about it anyway!
The thing is, I love crossovers. Even if there are just crossover elements, I'm happy. So, here's what I've come up with:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars w/ Spider-Man Elements!
An independent Kaminoan scientist is doing independent experiments on spiders. One day, two of their spider experiments escape.
The corridor that lab is in is a good shortcut to some of the training centers, and CT-5555, aka Fives, and CT-1409, aka Echo, happen to be using it as the spiders are out.
They both get bitten, but they don't think anything of it. They go to training as normal.
Come nightfall, Hevy, Cutup, and Droidbate are in a panic because something is wrong. Both Fives and Echo have fevers, not so severe that they need the medbay, but still worrying.
Come morning, they have ✨ spider powers✨
Echo
Organic webbing, like Toby Maguire.
Venom shock, like Miles Morales in Spider-Verse
Stickiness, obviously
Super strength
Spider sense
Enhanced senses
Fangs like Miguel O'Hara, but smaller
Purring
Enhanced metabolism
Healing
Lack of thermoregulation
Sudden aversion to mint and vinegar
Fives
Also organic webbing
Super strength
Stickiness
Spider sense
Enhanced senses
Venomous fangs that retract (I read about that in an MCU fanfic that I can't remember the name of)
Invisibility, also like Miles Morales
Purring
Enhanced metabolism
Healing
Lack of thermoregulation
Sudden aversion to mint and vinegar
Anyway, they figure out their powers with the help of their batch, and keep everything completely secret from everyone else. So, at the time of their Citadel exam, they're a lot closer.
Except 99, of course. He helped raise everyone. And Clone Force 99, eventually. Fives and Echo, and the rest of the Dominoes, love those kids. Fives and Echo help them feel not alone.
However, both Fives and Echo are overstimulated, because Bric is an asshole, so they aren't at the top of their game. Hevy decides they should take a calculated risk, and they throw the exam
(in my opinion, this just speaks for their faith in Shaak Ti)
Anyway, they pass the exam the second time around and get sent to Rishi. The twins still keep their powers a secret, but they still train with their powers.
When the invasion of commando droids comes knocking, Echo and Fives' spider senses clue them in, so everyone survives! Yay!
The twins do go feral, and they go a little crazy with the webs, but the first wave is pretty much obliterated by the time Cody and Rex show up. It is stressful to clean up all the webs. Luckily, the rest of the Dominoes distract Cody, Rex, and all the others on Rishi
Anyway, everyone survives so all of Domino squad joins the 501st
Eventually, the Dominoes trust the legion enough to tell them about the spider situation, and everyone loves it!
At one point, Hevy pulls Rex aside and is like, Fives and Echo see boundaries differently, so they were afraid to cross yours by asking, so I'm gonna ask for them. Wanna join us for a nest pile at some point? Because that is a thing they do at least once a week.
(also, that lil interaction is my way of saying I headcanon Fives and Echo as neurodivergent)
Also, once the Bad Batch gets out into the field, the Dominoes absolutely follow their missions, cause they're so proud.
Echo and Fives have told Rex all about them, so the 501st gets to work with them a lot sooner.
As Jesse is leading the Batch to the barracks they'll be sharing with the Dominoes, they hear the Dominoes talking about how proud they are of the Bad Batch and that they really hope the Batch wants to do nest piles like when they were cadets but if not they'll respect their boundaries, blah blah blah
Hearts melt, and a nest pile happens, of course!
And of course thanks to the spider senses Echo doesn't get captured, Umbara doesn't go to shit, the chip situation happens differently, and Order 66 doesn't happen!
