I own nothing but Leigh.
Current setting for this chapter happens when Leigh, TC, and Alex are back on the road in Jazz's alt-mode during the scene change in the Harmony In Disarray chapter Organic.
1. Food
Thundercracker frowned at the sound his organic tank-stomach-was making. It was a strangled garling sound and he felt strangely empty. He wondered what was wrong with him, but since he didn't have any internal scanners he couldn't find out.
The noise had attracted Leigh's attention as she looked over at him. "Something wrong?"
TC looked at her from the corner of his now red organic optics. "My tank is making strange sounds." Alex snorted but was ignored.
Leigh frowned as she thought. "When was the last time you ate-er, refueled?"
Thundercracker's frown deepened. "Just before leaving Cybertron."
Leigh balked. "I"m so sorry! I should've asked, you must be starving!" she said guiltily.
"What is the matter?" TC asked rather calm, clearly not understanding why she was so frantic.
"You haven't eaten!" Leigh said. "And I'm guessing you don't know a thing about humans."
Thundercracker bristled at that, but he couldn't deny it. So swallowing his pride he replied, "No, I don't. Now, what is the matter?" he repeated.
"Well, humans need to eat to survive." Leigh said slowly.
"Just poof him up some pancakes." Alex said speaking for the first time.
Leigh said. She muttered something and a plate of golden brown matter appeared in her hand. She held it toward TC. "Eat it, the noises will stop if you do."
Thundercracker picked up one of the strange, soft round disk things and bit down on it. His optics widened as he stuffed the whole thing in his mouth, Leigh having to pat him on the back when he choked it down. "This is surprising good. How often will I have to refuel with this?"
Leigh shook her head and Alex sneered. Jazz though was the one who spoke. "You've got a lot to learn about being a human, Decepticon."
