Battle of the Cops

What started as a suggestion turned out to be an all out war

Ratchet had seen a lot of unusual things in his time as CMO of the Autobot forces but Jazz sneaking a Decepticon into his medbay to keep said Decepticon safe from a rampaging Ironhide was definitely new. He was also surprised the Barricade took all the repairs and berating thrown his direction without complaint. The only response the CMO got out of the young police mimic was a slight smirk now and then. He raised an optic ridge at Jazz who simply shrugged. "There," Ratchet grumbled after a couple minutes, looking over his work with a critical eye. "All fixed."

"Thanks I guess," Barricade replied, standing in one smooth motion.

"Then I guess you're welcome," Ratchet replied, startling a laugh out of the Decepticon while Jazz smirked before noticing someone out in the hallway and ducking out into it.

The silver saboteur returned moments later saying, "Prowl's waiting for ya in the hall. He says you two're headin' out for a bit till 'Hide cools off." Barricade nodded and stepped into the hallway.

"So where are we heading?" he questioned the older mech as the two headed off base.

"Since you seem to enjoy patrolling human streets so much that's exactly what we're doing," Prowl replied.

"I don't think that's wise," Barricade retorted, stopping dead in the middle of the hall. "The instant Starscream or any one of those in his group see me I'll be dead before anyone can say Primus."

"I promised no harm would come to you, indirectly of course," the Autobot SIC shot back and Barricade sighed, hurrying to catch up with Prowl.

"So far your off to a bad start," he grumbled as they both transformed and headed for the nearest city in silence, both watching for any sign of Decepticon activity.
