They waited. It's what people in the Hub did. It's what the Hub was for; lost souls waiting for their other half to finish in the mortal world and join them in the next.
These two met while waiting for their loves. They were from different universes. Different places, different times. They knew that they didn't exist in the other's past world.
But they were so alike. Both carefree, both the playful jokers, unofficial keepers of morale. Both loved by their crews, both missed more than anything by their soul mates.
Jazz spotted the human before the human spotted him. Even in this world of waiters, of smoke and mist and fog, he was sneaky and hard to spot. But this man, this human, seemed like a kindred spirit, so he showed himself.
"Hey," he greeted, sidling up next to the man.
"Ai ya!" he exclaimed, whirling to face the dead Cybertronian. "Don't do that!"
Jazz chuckled. "Sorry. Old habits."
The man rolled his eyes. "Yeah, tell me about it. Anyways. Name's Wash."
Jazz raised an optic ridge. "Interestin' name. Mine's Jazz. Nice t' meet'ya, Wash. Who ya waitin' for?"
He smiled. "My wife. Zoe. You?"
"Mah bondmate, Prowl."
"Mm. If he's anything like my Zoe..."
"Worth the wait?"
"Always."
Jazz grinned. "Well, if Ah know Prowler, he wouldn' want me t' jus' sit 'round waitin'. You up fer some talkin'?"
"Peng you, it's so boring here, I'd do anything."
"Mech, Ah think we're gonna get along real well."
