Wheeljack continued to walk around the base, and investigate what the others were up to... He lost track of time, and eventually found himself in the rec room after everyone had finished their daily routine. "So Wheeljack. How was your first day off?" Ratchet asked, sitting down next to the inventor.
"Better than I thought, Ironhide taught me to shoot. Jazz and Prowl taught me how to spar. I went down to talk to Optimus, and realised how hectic his day really can be" Wheeljack explained. Ratchet nodded, taking in how much fun Wheeljack had. "Then I saw Sides and he took me out for a drive, and showed me the open road. I realise if I want to beat him in a race, I need to work on my speed" he said, with emthusiasm. "Them I quickly past by my lab... Don't worry I didn't go in... I just wanted to see how there going, considering the size of the last explosion" he reassured Ratchet.
"Good, because you know Optimus would have a fit, if he knew you were near your lab... He specifically told you not to" Ratchet said.
"I know... But this is fun, I think I can do this for quite a while" Wheeljack stated.
But before Ratchet could say anything, Optimus spoke. "That's good Wheeljack because I have been informed it is going to take at least another 3-4 days before you can use your lab again" he stated, Wheeljack just nodded as optimus walked out of the rec room.
"Ok fair enough" Wheeljack said, knowing it would take time to repair the damage to his lab.
One Week Later
"I'm sorry for the delay in the repairs to your lab Wheeljack. But I have been informed that the repairs are done, and it will useable tomorrow morning... So yes, you may go back to work tomorrow" Optimus said, looking at the excited inventor.
"Thank you so much sir" Wheeljack, jumping up and down with excitement. "I'm not use to not working. It'll be good to get back to work" he continued.
"Good, dismissed. Get some rest, I trust you haven't had much in the last week" Optimus said.
"Well, no not really sir. Thank you" he said, and walked out the door and down the hall to his room. Back to work, what should I work on first? He asked himself, as he lied on his berth, and quickly fell into recharge.
When Wheeljack awoke, he walked straight down to his lab. "Wow" he said, looking around the newly rebuild lab. "They can really a place look good" he finished, as he walked over to his work benches. He got to work on a new invention. He managed to get through the organisation, preparations and building. Wow, maybe I just needed a break. He thought to himself, but as he turned his it on, it went south. It started to power up, but then stopped, and again, just like every other invention... It went bang, but this time with less force. But this made Wheeljack snap. He picked up anything he could find, and began to through them around.... Yelling things like about how he's not good enough and how he's not meant to be an inventor and how stupid he was. But what topped the lot was. "Why doesn't Opimus just send me where I belong. I don't belong here, I belong in a scrap heap. I can't do anything right!!!" he snapped.
He turned around in time to see Optimus charge into his lab, followed by Ratchet, Prowl and Ironhide. "Wheeljack, please calm down... We can help you" ratchet pleaded, knowing that if he didn't he would have to sedate him, which was something he didn't want to do.
"Why, I can't do anything. What good am I, I can't even get one simple inventin right!!!" he snapped. Ironhide jumped at him, but the extra traingin over the last week and a bit, paid off. He dodged and tripped Ironhide.
"Wheeljack I understand you're upset, but this is no way to deal with it" Optimus stated calmly.
"But I'm no good to you anyway" Wheeljack snapped, throughing yet another piece of equipment... Only this time, he had targets.
The team continued to try to calm Wheeljack, only to realise that it wasn't working. "That's it... We have no other choice sir" Ratchet stated, Optimus nodded, and helped Ironhide and Prowl to hold Wheeljack as still as possible... While Ratchet sedated him. Then they carried him down to the med bay.
When Wheeljack woke, he was shocked to realise that he wasn't in his lab. "Ratch?" he asked, hoping for an answer.
"Yeah. I'm here" Ratchet said, carefully placing a comforting hand on Wheeljacks forehead.
"Where am I?" Wheeljack asked, still trying to figure it out.
"You're in the med bay" Ratchet answered.
"How did I get here? The last I remember I was in my lab organising my invention" Wheeljack explained, gaining a worried look from Ratchet.
What's wrong with Wheeljack? Will he be ok, what will his reations be when they tell him he attacked his friends.
