[It's the dead of night, Mirage. Why aren't you asleep?
Well, to be honest, sleep hasn't come easy for the bot in quite some time. And with Sideswipe now rooming with him, he's found himself lying and staring up at the ceiling more often than not. It...wasn't a happy time, to say the least.
He's..had a couple things on his mind, too.
Leaving a note for the silver bot, he exits the Vectorian temple to get some air...and maybe some space. He didn't want Sideswipe hearing part of what he was about to broadcast.]
...Does anyone have ideas on how to fall asleep? I cannot seem to rest my optics tonight.
[Or other nights, but he'd rather not worry anyone. Unfortunately, Mirage's fatigue is slightly showing.]
[Locked to Vector Prime]
...It is not a decent hour, but I need your advice. I have no one to turn to.

It was more fun than it had any right to be.]The choice is yours, Stallion. I personally was up-front with all my crew when I could be. Was with Shockwave.
audio; private
He'll never admit he had fun with it, ever.]It is a little different in your situation, polizia.
audio; private
Barricade will admit to having fun. It was.]Shockwave and Sideswipe differ only in how they emote their anger. The results are no different, Mirage.
[He's heard enough to know that much.]
audio; private
[Because he has a feeling you two aren't on exactly good terms.]

audio; private
He's adjusting well here on his own...why should I ruin that...?
audio; private
He's not adjusting at all!
audio; private
That things were not so black and white as he once thought.]
Telling him would increase those feelings tenfold. It has taken everything within me to accept any help from you. Sideswipe was not taught patience like I was.
audio; private
[Or limits, for that matter. Learning to stay his hand when all he wants is to finish it. Barricade pauses himself, for a while, voice rougher and quieter when he speaks again.]
He needs a firm hand before he needs a shoulder to lean upon.
audio; private
[His head dips, although you can't see it, scrubbing a claw over the front of his helm.]
Bumblebee did not even know I was on Earth. He is from when the Allspark was whole.
audio; private
Sometimes they have to hurt before they can dragged into enlightenment. The question is, are you willing to do that? Because if not...
[Hearing 'Bumblebee' and 'Allspark' that close together makes Barricade's engine rev briefly, before he can stifle it.]
How will you ever make it through all that carnage he's missed?
audio; private
I will if it is the best possible option.
I want to speak to Vector first.
audio; private
But if you can't handle it, the thought of one of them being hurt or distrusting you, then you can't. That's all there is to it.
audio; private
Some of us are more thorough, Barricade. And take the advice of certain Primes to spark.
...I...can.

Mi dispiace.
[He's going to regret asking this but...]
Do you require company.
[Hey, they're both awake. And Mirage's schedule is relatively free for midnight o'clock.]
audio; private
[That was not something he expected. But. Well...]
I wouldn't turn it down. Not getting anywhere on these designs anyway.
[And they're both up already so it's not like either would be imposing.]
audio; private
Meet me by the edge of the Solian District.
audio; private
[And he'll even send a ETA.]
action;
High velocity was... exhilarating.
And he'll just sit there parked until Barricade shows up.]
action;
He slows as he approaches Mirage. He doesn't bother to announce his presence, simply sliding up beside him.]
action;
Took a detour?
action;
[Unless it's a race or to get to a patient he doesn't usually gun his engine up. That's how you end up running rollbar-first into a freeway pillar.]
action;
How long has it been since you let go, polizia?
action;
Me letting to completely is dangerous, Stallion~ But the last time I did a bit in this mode was a race a while back.
