[Drift's been running a perimeter of the Badlands for a few days now, on the lookout for Megatron's mysterious attacker, as he'd promised. It's been...good, getting away, and just lapping miles under his wheels, in that almost zen-like focus of driving. And it's given him an idea.]

You know what this place needs? [He is excited so he will just rush to the answer.]

It needs a good race track. Not one of those just...oval things, but a fun one, with sharp turns and slopes and different surfaces. Like rallycross, on Earth.

Anyone want to help?

((OOC: X-23, if you want to run into Drift, feel free to action up this post!))

Oh. Well. That's good. I remembered you liked driving, from before.

[Grin.] And we can definitely do donuts. Maybe you'll let me catch some air.

Hell yes. And yeah, we can do that I think. Air. Definitely.

[ BRAVE NOD. ]

Vandal.

[His tone turns serious for a klik.] I won't do anything to get you hurt. I'll be very careful.

I know. S'why I trust you to do the driving.

Anyone else? Nah.

...thank you, Karrie. [She doesn't realize how much being trusted means to him right now.]

Are you...you're doing better? [Lame conversation switch--thankfully he's a lot better taking turns while driving.]

Hm?

I- well Drift. I'll be honest with you. It's been hell, and I think itll be a while before I'm really right again, but having you around? Yeah. I am doing better.

Please. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

...you want me to bring the big pink cupcake blanket thing to you?

Ah you do enough for me just being here.

... Actually if it survived that would be amazing.

It doesn't feel like enough.

[He could always try harder. Especially since Wing is....just crushing his spark right now.]

I could go look. [He doesn't want her going back there, knowing how bad it is.]

Well, it's damn well plenty enough for me. Looking forward to getting up and out more often, spending more time together.

Really? That would be great. I've been missing it.

I'd like that.

But you have to rest up, or else you won't be well enough to come racing with me.

I'm hoping it reminds you of, you know, better times.

Alright, okay, I promise I won't overdo it. Cross my heart.

It really does. Thank you again, Drift.

Don't make me sic Perceptor on you.

[Sort of an empty threat--he hasn't seen the scientist since that, uh, that night he's still trying to forget about.]

Don't thank me. Just get better.

Oh god the nagging not that!

I'll work on it. I promise.

[A bittersweet smile. He remembered how Perceptor could be. And he would be happy that Perceptor was with her.]

You better. Because I wouldn't stoop at tattling to Wing, either.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhgg you're killing me, Drift. Gahhhhh. You little snitch.

[He manages a little sly grin.]

...ex-Decepticon.

[He will stop at nothing.]

Oooo scary. You gonna come kidnap me in the night?

[ Here's to hoping. ]

Only if you're good.

[Wait. He's probably thrown a bit of a gasket into the 'makes sense' machine, but the point's the same: Vandal needs to concentrate on getting better.]

I can be good if that's a promise.

[He laughs.]

Now we're getting circular. I'll kidnap you if you're good. You'll be good if I kidnap you.

Think maybe you should leave the driving to me or else we'll just end up going in circles.

Heh, okay, alright, that;s fair enough.

You're just letting me win. [He's onto you.]

Maybe. Whatcha' gonna do about it?

Let myself win. For a change.

[Or get smacked by Ambulon again, probably.]
