[Audio | Prima's Temple]

[Waking up had been odd. His head was swimming and everything just felt off for some reason, but he couldn't quite place what was going on. Rung didn't remember returning to Prima's temple so that, in itself, was throwing him off considering the last thing he remembered was...

Well, he'd been out and about in Haven.

Sitting up slowly with a hand to his head, Rung looked around as he tried to make sense of things, growing even more confused by his presence here because, as of late, the only temple he'd been recharging in was Alpha Trion's. His optics narrowed a bit on the floor as he dug through his memories, trying to remember--

Wait.

Pain. He remembered pain but not the source. It was fuzzy but..

His hand lowered slowly, vents cycling softly as his optics dimmed now. He'd..died...hadn't he? That would be the only thing that made sense but how?

Glancing around the room after a long moment, Rung spotted his comm device on the makeshift desk and slowly eased off his bed to make his way over to it. Once he had the device in hand he found himself hesitating, staring at it as he debated his options before switching it to audio only, vents cycling heavily as his optics dimmed.]

Would..anyone be able to fill me in on what..I can't seem to remember properly?

Remember all those time I told you to be careful or you would end killed?

Yeah, I didn't tell you that often enough, apparently.

[Knock Out is judging you, Rung.]

It's good to see you back. [There, a small smile for a few seconds. He realizes what he's doing and soon enough this usual smirk is on his face instead.] Dead End will stop bawling his optics out.

[Yeah he can't help but wince a bit.]

I know..I know. I..apparently pressed the wrong buttons with someone.

[It's alright, you can judge him, KO. He's still taking comfort in a familiar face.

And that smile. He even goes as far as to return it, in a softer manner.]

It's good to be back.

Dead End he--he's alright, yes?

That you did, yes. [He sounds like a parent scolding his kid, gosh. Rung you make him feel old sometimes.

Smiles are good, just don't mention that he did it first.]

I'm sure Dead Ends will feel way much better now that you are alive again. How are you feeling? Need a check up?

[Which is funny considering how much older Rung is.

His vents cycle softly in a sigh.]

I should go find him...

And I..probably should have someone look me over, I suppose. Just in case?

[Really really ironic indeed.]

No, you are no longer allowed to go anywhere unsupervised. I'm even considering putting a tracking collar on you, mister. [Isn't Knock Out the best papa?] Call Dead End and tell him to go there, if something, but don't move. I'll come over.

I--

[Well, who is he to argue?]

...Alright.

Good.

[And to rung's place he goes, avoiding being seen by any otehr Decepticon in his way there. The last thing he wants is to get in trouble for something like this. He walks in without Knocking too.] Missed me?

[Rung's patient as he waits, settling himself back on his bed with his comm unit resting in hand, replying to a few more responses before he glances up as Knock Out enters.]

Who wouldn't?

[Even in the state he's in, Rung manages a playful tone, smiling faintly at the other.]

[ ~~Did someone order a sexy doctor?~~] No one. [He approaches Rung, smiling before patting him not so gently, yet still somewhat friendly, in the shoulder.]

Would you ever stop getting into trouble? I saw some of Rewind's videos, you always do this.

~~[Oh, Knock Out~]~~

It's not like I go looking for trouble. It just sort of..finds me most of the time.

[Which was the truth. Rung tended to just stick to his patients and nothing more but he sometimes always ended up in the midst of a bad situation.]

[~~Winks ;)~~]

The story of Starscream's life. Still not a excuse.

[Knock Out's hands move to Rung's helmet and he tilts it slowly up and to the side.] Let me check those, I have a lot of practice when it comes to damaged optics.

I know..I know.

[Rung lets the other do as he pleases, allowing his head to be tilted to the side as he focuses on his doctor]

They seem to be functioning alright..though the one could just be compensating for the other, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure how precise is the whole resurrecting process, better check it out. Close your right optic.

[Knock Out presses the tip of his finger to the side of the left eye, very carefully. The sensors in his fingers are reading the frequencies of the electric impulses in the optic. He will repeat the gesture with the other eye after a few minutes.]

Do you remember who killed you?

[Doing as he's told, Rung closes the optic in question and lets the other do his work, shutting the other when he's prompted to. He's lost in thought, going back over some of the new memories he has, when Knock Out speaks, the therapist resisting the urge to open his closed optic.]

..No..I'm afraid I don't.

The readings seems normal.[He moves his hand away and his fingers caress Rung's neck instead.] No scars, no alterations...they did a good job. I want to figure out how the FirstForged do this.

Go figure. Changing rooms and investing in cameras and a better security in your office would be a good idea.

[Yeah excuse Rung while he shivers just a bit but he doesn't pull away, figuring the other is just..doing..something doctor-ish.]

It's impressive, isn't it? I'm still reeling from all of it, to be hoenst.

That would be helpful, yes...

[He's checking the join and the good work.]

I will have to run some scans and see if everything's right inside, but we can do that in the medbay some other time.

Very. Why wasn't Dead End with you when this happened?

[Uh huh.]

We aren't always together. I was finishing up my work for the day at my office when it happened.

Bad things happen when partners aren't together, you know. [He can so relate to that.]

[Ah, that mysterious history of Knock Out's that Rung still wants to hear about sometime so he can try and help the other.]

I know I just...as much as I wish he had been there...I'm glad he wasn't.

[Knock Out would refuse said help,. He's fine and there's nothing to talk about. certainly nothing about murdered partners, that woudl be silly.]

You are such a foolish bot. [But Knock Out understands, in a way.] Some extra locks in your private room won't hurt either.

[Guess who has no idea that you share a room with DE? this mech.]

[It's worth a shot, really. Rung just wants to help you, KO.]

I know. Others like to inform me of that, quite a bit. And--ah--

[Rung glances down, almost shy like.]

...I'll talk to Dead End about putting better locks on our room.

[He's sure you can find some bots worth saving instead of him, Rung. Someone actually interested on that.]

And do you ever wonder why? [Knock Out smirk turns into a confused expression and after a second he's grinning again.]

Oh, you minx. I didn't see that one coming.

[You are worth saving, in his opinion.]

I try not to, honestly.

[Yeah, Rung's definitely just a bit flustered now. Thanks, KO.]

Oh hush! He offered and I accepted, it's as simple as that!
