Knockout looked at the femme in shock, he had never seen such damage before; and just hoped they had made it in time to save her. He turned to Barricade, not missing the horrified look on the poor mechs faceplates, but could deal with the later. "Barricade, I need you at the switch" he ordered, before turning to Breakdown. "Breakdown, you will need to catch her as she falls" he said, causing the mech to nod weakly, his optics not leaving the injured femme. Breakdown took up position under the femme, whilst Barricade stood ready at the switch. "Now" Knockout said.

Barricade pulled the switch, causing the three stasis beams to deactivate. He watched as the femme fell the few feet, straight into Breakdowns waiting arms; who then lowered her gently to the ground. "Primus" the bulky blue mech whispered. "She's… Sh…" he could barely get the words out, his processor attempting to process what he was looking at. "Will she be ok?" he asked quietly. Barricade watched the two, before suddenly he noticed the femme's fusion rifle in the corner of the room. He walked over to it before picking it up slinging it straight over his shoulder; letting it rest on his back.

Knockout began to scan the femme, paying particular attention to her spark chamber. "I don't know yet" he whispered. He putting the scanner down to gently close the femme's chestplates, wanting to give her some privacy and decency.

Suddenly the femme shot up, green optics wide with fear and pain; as her servo wrapped around the red medics wrist tightly. "No" she ground, her servo tightening painfully around the mechs wrist.

"Turbo" Knockout said, trying to ignore the pain in his wrist joint. "It's me" he whispered, his other servo gently cupping her cheek. "It's Knockout"

Turbo slowly released her grip on the mech, her optics focusing on the red mech in front of her. "Knock… Out" she groaned, as her optics flickered dangerously.

"Yes, it's Knockout. I'm here to help you" he said, watching as the femme suddenly lost consciousness again. "Scrap" he said, as he scanned her again, not liking the results. "We need to get her out of here now" he said, as he shot to his pedes. "Breakdown, can you carry her?" he asked, as he quickly packed up his supplies.

"Yes" the mech said, as he gently lifted the injured femme into his arms bridal style, allowing her helm to rest against his chestplates. He instantly regretted joining the Autobots, having not signed up for such brutality when he joined. He was told that they were a peaceful faction, wanting to defend themselves against the tyranny of the Decepticons, he knew now that was a blatant lie. He made sure the femme was held securely in his arms, before running towards the door. "I know a shortcut out of here" he said, leading the two mechs from the interrogation room, hoping to forget the horrors he witnessed in there.

…

Breakdown led the two smaller mechs through the rarely used south hall, knowing that the chances of being seen here, was slim to none. He held the femme close, looking down every now and then to ensure that she was still online. He hated the thought of her offlining, especially in his arms. He almost cheered when he saw the south exit, not bothering to open it properly; booting the door out with his pede; before breaking into a full out run. He glanced back making sure the two mechs were still there, before allowing them to take the lead; not knowing where they were heading.

Barricade took lead, Knockout not far behind. He sprinted away from the Autobot base; not wanting to ever be there again, heading for the evac point that they knew Astrotrain would be waiting for them. It took about ten minutes for them to arrive at Astrotrain's location; who was thankfully still waiting for them in his alt mode.

"Who's this?" the large shuttle asked, wary of the blue mech; who apparently held Turbo. "Why is he holding Turbo?" he said, preparing to transform.

"No it's ok" Knockout said, stopping the shuttle in his tracks. "He's friendly. He helped us find and rescue Turbo" the medic said, easing the large mechs worries. "His name's Breakdown"

Astrotrain thought for a moment, realising that neither mech would have let this large blue bot near the femme if they didn't somewhat trust him. "Very well" he said, allowing the three mechs to walk up the ramps. "Let's get the pit out of here"

…

As they neared the Nemesis' location, the femme onlined again; confused and in pain. She groaned as she trembled in pain, her sensor net having not fully recovered from the ordeal. She sobbed, tears falling down here faceplates, as she curled up on herself, willing the pain away. She suddenly screamed as someone; very gently, grabbed her.

"Turbo" a familiar voice whispered into her audios. "It's ok sweetspark. You're safe" the voice said.

Turbo, having started to recover from the initial shock, recognised the voice. "Knock… Out" she whispered, as she pressed herself into his gentle hold, wanting the pain to leave her systems. She sobbed again as more pain flared through her, servos lifting to wrap tightly around the medic. "Hurts" she said, as her tears started to wet his chestplates; though he didn't care.

"Alright femme" the medic said, as he carefully pulled out a mild sedative. "This will help with your pain" he announced, gently injecting the liquid into the femmes main line. The results were almost instant, as her trembling stopped and frame visibly relaxed into his hold. Her servos suddenly dropped limply either side of him as her helm dropped to his shoulder with a dull thud. "What did they do to you?" he asked the unconscious femme, as he remembered the femme that came to his rescue. The femme he held was not the same one that rescued him, she was beaten and abused; she was almost broken. He suddenly wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him, as he rubbed her back gently. He felt a sudden and overwhelming urge to protect this femme, not wanting to ever see her in pain again. His own tears suddenly falling as he wished he could take all her pain from her. He suddenly gasped as large strong arms wrapped around him, and the femme.

"It's ok Knockout" Breakdown said, as he held the smaller mech, allowing him to let out all his frustrations. "I'm here for you" he said, as he started to massage the red medics back gently.

Knockout groaned softly as the servo worked his back, suddenly feeling drawn to this mech. "Thank you" he whispered as he lent into the strong embrace. He had to admit he had felt attraction towards the blue mech when he first saw him, but he suddenly felt desire for the larger mech.
