"Slag...that hurt..." Prowl thought dumbly lifting a heavy, numb arm to his head. He shielded his optics from the bright white light off the medbay. Glancing down to his shoulder where he had been hit by Starscream he was barely surprised to find that it was almost completely fixed, of not rather ugly. He'd need a whole new chest plate made but it was fine for now.

They really did have one fantastic CMO. He thought then winced hearing movement, waiting for a wrench or some sort of verbal assault.

Suddenly he felt a foreign, though all to familiar feeling wash over him. His mates consciousness. Prowl didnt have time to feel joy from the contact as nothing less then complete desperation and total fear shot through him from his partner.

"Not Prowl, Not Prowl, please, please! not Prowl" he heard faintly as his partner opened the link.

"Jazz? what is it? whats wrong?" he answered immediately, the first brush of consciousness against his.

"Prowl?" Prowl felt his spark pulse painfully as he felt the desperation in his lovers spark.

"Jazz, Im here" he sent back soothingly trying to calm his partner.

"Please Prowl!" Jazz begged "...come on baby...Prowl?..babe?...answer me"

"Jazz! I'm here love, calm down, please" He fought to calm his own panicked spark. He didn't understand what was going on but the feelings rushing through him from Jazz felt like they where ripping his spark apart. Hearing Jazz plead for him, feeling the desperation and then... heartbreaking loss?

Prowl took a shuddering intake. He felt Jazz's sorrow and it was the strongest, most painful emotion he had ever felt.He thought his spark had shattered there and then.

"Jazz!?" There was no reply. His partner had fell silent. "He's given up?" Prowl thought to himself confused. He kept his end of the bond wide open so he could feel if Jazz opened up to him instantly and fully onlined his optics looking around alertly, sitting up.

"Prowl" Ratchet said stepping to his side "You shouldnt be straining yourself.." The medics lack of yelling just seemed to add to the tactitians worries.

"Ratchet, where is Jazz?" he asked looking him in the optics. Ratchet tensed slightly.

"...The Decepticons have him.." he said straight to the point. Prowl watched him then moved to stand up. "Prowl! your not fully healed yet!" Ratchet said moving to stop him.

"You've healed me enough, my self repair systems can handle the rest" he said "I'm going to find Jazz, now, you can fill me in on the details as we go to Prime." he said with a dangerous calm and undeniable authority. It scared Ratchet hearing the SIC use that tone. He was pretty sure by seeing the glow in his friends optics that he would tear apart anyone who got between him and his bonded. 'Con or 'Bot.

Ratchet nodded quickly following the tactician. "As your aware, the shot from Starscreams null ray pretty much offlined you instantly, which as a result made Jazz go down too, unfortunately he was fighting with Soundwave and, from what we gathered, while his attention was on you Soundwave hit him with his sonic blast. Starscream noticed his reaction to you getting shot, so as Megatron called the retreat he grabbed Jazz" He said.

"Why would Megatron call a retreat when he'd downed the 2nd and 3rd?" Prowl mused out loud though wasn't really thinking on it much. He couldn't. His mind was stuck on Jazz.

Ratchet didnt have a chance to answer as Prowl walked straight into the command center. Prime was standing there talking to Ironhide as the twins both checked over their weaponry.

"Prowl?" Prime said carefully "You need to recharge..." he said looking his second in command over carefully.

"I need to find Jazz, sir" he said looking straight into the commanders optics. "I heard him, and I'm not staying behind while you search for him." Optimus watched him then looked to Ratchet.

"...Ive healed him as much as I can...his self repair systems can handle the rest...all that's left is paintwork and a little reconstrction" he said eyeing up the scorched and misshapen metal.

"...Alright...but stay calm and don't do anything rash Prowl" It seemed strange to have to warn Prowl of all people to keep his cool, but Optimus knew exactly what bonded mechs could do when their partner was in danger. Prowl merely nodded.

"Wheeljack and Firstaid are covering the Medbay" Ratchet said carefully

"Good, that means its alright for you to come along in case he needs immediate medical care" Prime nodded. "Autobots, roll out" he said looking at the group.

Jazz hung there limply and offlined his optics and audios. He didn't want to see anything, didn't want to hear the seekers gleeful taunts. He wanted Prowl, though knew he couldn't have him, never again.

Wires strained in his throat as a collision to his face caused him to turn sharply to the side. He onlined his audios briefly to hear Starscream threaten him. His lips turned up into a humourless, dark sneer.

"What are you going to do about it Screamer?" he said. "You've a'ready taken everythin' that matters from me, what more can you do?"

He cried out and pulled his legs up in an attempt to curl up, though this just put more pressure on his wounded shoulders. Starscream had planted his fist powerfully into his stomach, essentially winding the saboteur, before turning on his heal and leaving him.

Jazz didn't see the point in offlining his audios again now he was alone. He spat energon at the floor. The punch to the face had cracked his lip and the punch tot he stomach had forced energon into his intakes.

He took a shuddering intake and went limp again.

"...Prowl.." he said weakly.
