video; | location: the general area of Vector's temple

So let me get this straight.

[Says the unfamiliar -- well, maybe unfamiliar to most -- silver Autobot lounging in a temple doorway. You heard it right, lounging. Apparently no one told him about the giant bug monsters.]

New Cybertron. A bunch of different -- [AIR QUOTES, LITERAL AIR QUOTES] -- "realities" flying around. None of us asked to be here... aaaaand we get to play construction equipment to these 'bots I've never even heard of?

Right, you know what? I'll pass.

When's the next shuttle home? I don't feel like getting my paint dirty.

[He looks as if he's about to turn the Link off entirely, but pauses. Oh, right.]

I'm guessing it's too much to hope anyone I know showed up too? Regardless... this is Sideswipe, shoot me your location and all that.

Sideswipe: out.

[Mirage was out scouting, picking off said giant robot bugs in question when the transmission came through his Link. Probably yet another newcomer. No surprise there.

It seemed to be originating from the Vectorian temple, which piqued his interest, and tuned in to listen--]

...

[No. No, his eyes were playing tricks on him. It COULDN'T be...]

[But there was the audio. That idiotic, stupid sassy tone.

The fucking wheelfeet.]

SIDESWIPE! Dio mio...is it really you?!

[He's not dreaming, right? Those wings practically flutter in excitement, almost forgetting that he was just doing some serious bug squashing a moment ago.]

I'd know that stupid accent anywhere...

Mirage? Yes, it's me... You saw me five minutes ago, what's with you?

As I know your attitude-

[No wait, happy times. His optics flutter as he chuckles softly.]

It has been closer to five months for myself.

Non riesco a credere che tu sia vivo quello che con tutto quello che è successo a casa. Voglio dire, so che ha detto che andrebbe bene ma non potevo essere sicuro fino a quando in realtà ho visto la tua faccia, ma qui siete! Ora posso smettere di preoccuparmi e sei nel tempio stesso con me. Questo ha funzionato alla perfezione ...

... You're hilarious. Really. If you've got your wires in a knot because we took out the Dreads without you, unbunch them. We're just an unbeatable team.

[He pauses.]

I heard that.

...We?...The Dreads?

[What are you even bringing that up for?]

I am serious. I have been away five months. Earth calender.

Heard what.

Yyyyes... Ironhide and I just took them out? While you and Bumblebee ran on ahead?

[Seriously, Mirage, why are you being so weird about this?]

No, you haven't. You were just there.

You ranting in your Italia speak.

...

[Oh...OH. Oh no.

This is bad. Mirage is just going to abort everything for a moment, his wings practically flat against his back now.]

That is the last time you saw me?

It is true, Sideswipe. I have been gone. These alternate realities do not affect time.

I was...pleased.

That's what I said, isn't it? What is with you?

[Because Mirage isn't. Really acting right. Not like he remembers.]

I'll believe it when I have proof. Which I won't ever have, I'm guessing. So... there we are.

Uh huh.

...

[He's from before...that. Everything makes sense now. The cockiness (or the extremity of it), the attitude...

Okay, Mirage, you can do this. Don't let Sideswipe know about this. At all.]

Is like I said, I have been here five months.

And 'five months' makes you act about as jumpy as Que after plowing into a power plant?

[That name makes him shy away a moment, shaking his head to try and snap out of it.

Not. NOW. ]

It does when your only company from our world are Ba-...An ex-Decepticon and Shockwave.

... Decepticons don't come in "ex". Unless they're dead.

[And he goes very still.]

Speaking of which.

Shockwave is here...?

This one does.

[He goes still as well.]

Si. And don't get ANY ideas.

Then I'm going to assume it's the walking dead.

Too late. I owe him.

You and I both.

But this is not the time nor place, Sideswipe. It is not worth it at this moment. Shockwave will not be your real enemy should you go after him.

He killed Jolt!

[Okay, he'll snap a bit back.]

I am aware!

[His voice is harsh and deep, plating ruffling. That was...still painful. He was stuck on Cybertron with the murderers of two he considered close.]

Do you not think I would have tried this already?!

Good!

[Wow, they're. Super mature right now. It's a sore subject all around, and Sideswipe doesn't even know the half of it.]

... Then we should try again.

Together.

[THE MOST MATURE EVER.]

Sideswipe! I am not doubting our ability to extinguish his spark. And I would not waste a second to be partners with you again. But I am saying it is pointless.

Death is not permanent here. And those who kill will be punished.

Then he can die as many times as it takes to pay for what he did!

[Honey, stop. Think about what you're saying for a minute.]

I am NOT ALLOWING THAT.

[He doesn't care if he looks like the bad guy right now. There's no way he's letting Megatronus do ANYTHING to Sideswipe. He's not going to let a third one slip away.]

Your enemy will not only be him, but them as well.
