Tech stood slightly apart from the chaos, his focus split between the ongoing skirmish and the blinking screen of his datapad. The familiar bickering between Hunter and Crosshair was nothing new. They had been fighting since the Batch were just cadets and even Echo, who hadn't been with the team for long, had gotten used to it. Tech had long since learned to tune out the verbal sparring.

The newest and temporary teammate stood beside him, their eyes darting between the two brothers. He couldn't blame them for their rising concern. Tech had seen hundreds of times how volatile the situation could become when Hunter and Crosshair got into one of their arguments.

As the first punch landed, Tech merely raised an eyebrow. It was a relatively minor blow, a warning shot fired in a battle that was far from over. He had seen far more brutal confrontations between Hunter and Crosshair, ones that had left them covered in bruises and cuts. This time, however, the violence seemed more restrained, as if both parties were holding back. Tech assumed the presence of the newcomer was having a moderating effect for once.

The newest member was looking between everyone and before they could take a hesitant step out, Tech shook his head. "They'll stop fighting soon," He said, his voice calm and even. He knew that the argument would eventually fizzle out, just as it always did. The only question was how long it would take.
