Need.
Burning demand.
New Master couldn't even steady himself with his servos when his new medic ran him down. Master's Brother jumped up to interfere if needed.
But New Master didn't resist. That silvery spike, uncovered for the second time in as many breems, was steady and beckoning.
His valve demanded contact, and complete loss of control. As New Master's shimmering frame touched his lower frame, jolts of electricity jumped from his body.
Yes, please! That, New Master! "Leader!"
The spike's tip rubbed against the rim of his valve. One weld on the right side, two near the emergency exhaust, all were aflame with need for an uncontrolled interface.
New Master's spike! Finally!
Deeper, deeper! Oh, gorgeous silver pleasure-rod! Most precious part of the mech he belonged to!
Pleasure! More of it! Infinite desire's reward!
Most blessedly pleasure-filled tool, wonderful chrome instrument!
The best thing possible to happen to a medic who had been left behind by his gestalt mates! Wonderful silver raising him high, him who had once been broken into the ground by an unworthy creature, in his past! He is now complete, fulfilled to more than he had ever been!
He'd been trusted with the truth, the real truth, the personal knowledge! This mech, this wise and independent silver mech, had uncovered what had been kept from him so long!
This wonderful, wonderful mech who'd allowed him to see himself as he is, who helped him accept the past and close it like an airlock. This mech with whom he will never need to seek the illusory freedom again.
This mech who would accept him as he is…
"What's your name?"
"First Aid!"
The loop of sensual jolts and self-recognition burst into a complete white-out.

It had been two weeks since Flatline had officially released his colleague from the large neutral hub's medibay. How long before someone would end up there again? Leader didn't want to know. Hopefully, they would be functional at the end of the day, but looking at the plans again, he would have happily accepted the possibility of a long medically subscribed rest, against the high probability of getting himself killed in this raid.
To the chrome mech, these plans looked too much like they were masterminded by Skywarp. In theory, Blades' keeper only provided the map; the rest of the work had been plotted out by a horribly remorseful Hot Spot, with some assistance from an Autobot tactician.
Shine had initially demanded to be left out of this. Then he had reluctantly agreed to talk to the Autobots on his co-molded's behalf. Then he had returned with an unspeakably ashamed Hot Spot, who just wanted to apologize to First Aid in person for giving up on the hope of ever finding him. Then Shine had spent an entire evening listening to the blue Protectobot's stories about how he finally got a wounded yet mentally unbroken Groove out from a Decepticon junkyard. Then he'd spent two sleepless orns waiting for First Aid's return when he traveled back to Earth. Eventually, he'd admitted to himself that the medic had never truly been his or Leader's possession. The next day, he volunteered to secretly take the Cybertronian space bridge and make contact with Blades. Somehow, he ended up in Skywarp's berth, and enjoyed every astrosecond of it.
So now Shine and Click and several others from the neutral colonies were standing by to kidnap Streetwise from the Stunticons. Leader, Hot Spot, and Blades were to provide the necessary distraction. First Aid, Flatline and Groove were responsible for getting everyone home safely.
Cog was honored to play the key role in the rescue: hacking the Autobot gestalt-limb back from the Decepticons. The bulky black truck was considered too old and too clumsy for action, but his vast experience with modulating ownership data was essential in getting Streetwise back safely. Skywarp's assistance was a less-trusted Option B.
Leader would have bet this plan wouldn't survive first contact with reality, and indeed, it didn't.
Somehow, when Streetwise finally exited the space bridge…
…the rescue team was also bringing Wildrider and Breakdown along.
End? Happy?
