Sleep is preferable.

Or it would be if I was sure Unicron wasn't going to appear in my mind.

I've been stuck in a cell for what feels like longer than the reality of a few days. It would be less tedious if I was allowed to do something, anything other than talk to a medic.

Not that the medic is particularly terrible.

...I absolutelydo not feel "homesick" about the nemesis, it wasn't even really a home.

...Anyhow

My minor injuries have healed, me and the medic still lack possible reasoning as to why I have a higher resistance to synth-en.

Due to a foreboding feeling of dread, I believe today is when Bumblebee will be harassed by MECH. I can't recall what it was they sought to accomplish by stealing an organ..

Furthering their awareness I'm sure.

As it seems a common occurrence, my thoughts are interrupted. By a human.

"Optimus! what in sam hill is this Decepticon doing here!?" I'm surprised he didn't call me something less professional.

"I have already informed you agent Fowler. He was injured, we couldn't just leave him to die." Oh but you could have.

"Yes, yes you could have." Usually I like be agreed with..

Optimus's posture switches to less friendly "I assure you we have enough reason to not have left him to bleed out agent Fowler."

I find it entertaining when the Prime uses his authoritative voice it's all too contrasting to how he used to be, or how innocent he still is.

wait.

Did he just defend me??

..Are all of their conversations so loud? I'm not even trying to eavesdrop, Fowler shouting makes it difficult not to hear.

are their voices getting louder..?


The very human who has been screaming about it's belief that the Autobots should've left me to die walks into my holding cell, "-and you just leave him in a room unsupervised? You should just keep him asleep!" if that's not a grossly probable picture I don't know what is.

Optimus fallows heaving a heavy sigh "That would not be good for his health, must I remind you he was brought here due to his plan to defeat a common foe lead to injury?"

Fowler's soft squishy face defiantly scrunches.

I don't quite understand the intent behind the action, they have yet to acknowledge me, I'm left staring at the two.

Apparently I won't have to wait too long, "Oh look! The very alien we speak of!" Ever the polite one, I do wonder if it's attitude is because of it's lacking constitution. Optimus's strained expression would tell me this conversation has been going on longer than I could hear, pity.

"I apologize for Fowlers behavior, he wasn't very pleased when I informed him of your currently being in our base." Truly pitiable, Prime is forced to deal with bothersome creatures and remain stoic, understanding, levelheaded, I would've just disposed of the creature.

Unless I needed it.

I can't help but snicker, such a sorry state the prime is in,"I could hear, it isn't as though I want to be here, I would prefer not to be near any humans"

Somehow Fowler's face scrunches even further, what is he trying to communicate? "See! You want him to stay here? Just cause he helped get rid of-" Fowler slaps a hand over his mouth, as though the words were unintentional.

..The silence that fallows is telling.

I keep my wings in a confident position, "I could just go back to where I was staying before~ I mean, it's not like you need me right?" I really only did one thing.

The prime's brows furrow, " StarScream.." No. Prime, I swear. You cannot do that.

I can't stand that look!

"I hate to agree with the criminal but you really don't need him. You were doing fine without him." Directly contrasting it's words the human's expression is nothing but satisfaction. Gross.

But really, the Autobots do just fine without me, they win the war. I'm not necessary.

Optimus sighs once more, then his demeanor shifts "Agent Fowler, While I understand your concern, I must know you understand this is a cybertonian problem. Meaning we will deal with this."

Having seen Optimus as Orion Pax the librarian it tickles me to see him act like a true prime-"gHeheeheeHaha Whahaha*gasp* Y-yohoohoo Hahahaah Hahahaah ah..I can't take your seriouslyheheeeHahahaha" Now both Fowler and Optimus have matching expressions! Ha!

Sometime during my laughing fit the two left the room, I couldn't help it!

He's so serious!


I'm getting nervous here, I haven't been able to contact KO in a week, what if he was taken out with BreakDown this time?!

What if Megatron found out he's been talking to me?!

What if they got caught by SoundWave??

What if BreakDown didn't make it???

What if-

..Alright maybe I'm a bit paranoid.

"Do you need to go for a walk again?" I had entirely forgotten the medic was in the room, a walk up to the roof doesn't sound terrible, how long has he been there?

Ugh, all this worry is making my wing joints ache. "I wouldn't oppose a walk." Even rolling my shoulders does little to ease my discomfort.

-Because I have been so well behaved.

I don't have to wear cuffs, we came to an agreement, I have to stay until my body has fully recovered from the Tox-en.

"Well, then let's get going. If it keeps you from having a shutdown I'm all for a walk" Again? Will this old medic ever let it go?

I'm lead into the worryingly well sized elevator up to the roof, every time Ratchet's taken me up here he's spent all of it at CliffJumper's grave, I'm beginning to wonder primus's way of making me regret killing him. It isn't that simple and he knows it.

My wings act as a counter balance allowing me to hang off the edge. If I could just get out of range of the scrambler...

I'm yanked back from the edge."Eh eh eh! Are you trying to fall off the edge?!" Like I'd fall, I give the medic a glare I hope communicates exactly that. Damned rust bucket shrugs.

I withdraw from the medic's proximity."My wings are fully functional, and even if they weren't do I really seem the kind to land without landing gear?" Again he shrugs.

wh..Whot?

No no No..

I would...

I'm not...

I...

I'm shaken from my thoughts literally, Ratchet is shaking me, is that professional medicinal practice? "Ehphephep, I can't have you going into another breakdown now! Optimus can only take so many spark attacks, primus knows how he's still alive."

How am I still alive?

One would think when a dark god chases you it is a death warrant, not just an inconvenience. I should be glad-I Should Be Glad?!

I should raise my standards!

Ratchet's attention is shifted by a call, it must be about BumbleBee..did I tell them about that? Primus I didn't forget to mention it did I?
