[Someone had their beauty sleep.

And by beauty sleep, we mean he looks and sounds like he's been to the Pit and back.

It'd been almost two weeks since Wheeljack fell unconscious. Two weeks too long, if you asked him. He awoke, the feeling of his head buzzing and and his optics blurry. Oh, and pain. Lots and lots of pain.  But the question was...where was he?  This place seemed familiar...

His eyes almost immediately widened, remembering everything.  Parting ways with Ratchet after the Iacon relic hunt, finding Bulkhead on that medical berth with nothing but an Energon line running through him. The fight with Hardshell, Miko saving him...being cast out from Team Prime and going solo...

The attack on Prime's base.

Being tortured at the hands of Starscream and Shockwave.  All of it was as clear as crystal. And if it wasn't, he had a few friendly reminders in the large horizontal scar across his midsection, and a somewhat buzzy neural net.  But Wheeljack wasn't one to let that stop him. As soon as he awoke, he found no one around him, probably stepping out for some fresh air.

Why not follow suit?  The Wrecker stood up, his legs feeling practically like liquid as he took a few steps, hesitating every so often.  His communicator goes on audio, the sound of a door slamming open and the loud footsteps of someone lacking...eloquence in their walk.]

...So.

What'd I miss.

[Guess who's back.]

Locked to Prime!Scream and Prime!Shockwave (separately)

Where are you.

[... He just quit this network and you pick now to wake up.]

...

A cavalcade of utter stupidity.

[CLICK.]

[What. Were you expecting a warm welcome?]

...

[And as quickly as it came, it's gone.]

Nice to see your personality's as charmin' and sterlin' as ever.

[imnotyours]

....That really you, jerk?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[There's a laugh from the other end of the feed.]

Good to hear from ya, kid. You been keepin' out of trouble?

Remember, I'm comin' after you if you haven't.

[Action] GOD, I DON'T HAVE A PERFECT ICON FOR THIS.

[neverputincharge]

[Jeez, he's kept vigil for almost two weeks, and you decide to wake up one of the times he steps out for a minute to stretch his legs(Which were in part due to that energy boost from Nexus, he had to get rid of it some how) and get fresh air.

Rude Jackie.

Still, he'll stop dead for a minute when he actually finds him not only awake, but up and walking about. And what the pit is with that scar. And...never mind that.]

Jackie!!

[He's going to snap out of his staring, with a huge, relieved, smile on his face and rush toward him to try and grab him in a bearhug.]

You're awake!

[Action] THIS ONE WORKS

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[No one ever said his timing was perfect.

Before Wheeljack knew it, he was gripped around the middle, pulled into a hug from behind. His first instinct was to fight it--at least until he heard that voice. And...

Laughter. Honest to Primus laughter.]

Bulkhead!!

[He lets himself dangle, just...soaking in that feeling.]

Heh...good to see ya again.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[Wheeljack, you are a sight for sore optics. ]

Tarn. [Being Tarn.] Other than that, not much.

....you all right?

[Because Wheeljack looks a bit, yeah, rough.]

[video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[So are you, Drift. So are you.]

Yeah? What'd ol' badge-face do this time? Other than be a completely wrong choice for the Defense force?

...I'm fine. Nothin' I won't over. Or out of my system.

[He's got a few people to pay a visit to.]

[video]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Everyone is losing their minds, basically.

How are you feeling?

[video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Sounds like a typical day here on ol' Cybertron.


I've been better. Had a little party with Screamy and Shockwave back home.

[raceme]

[It took Blurr a few to see the new post because he's been really busy lately because of the mess with Tarn and Chromedome. He's glad to see that Wheeljack's awake again and the relief it's obvious in his face. He still looks somewhat tired but he's smiling.]

Nothing good. Wheeljack, I'm really happy to see that you are wake.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[He can see the fatigue on Blurr's face...but really, when isn't that there. It's pretty much a staple of Blurr-related-life.]

Good to be awake, Blurrk. Now tell me, what's gone down since my power down?

Apparently I missed a lot.

[deadlydoctor]

Aww you didn't die. [Such disappointment in his voice.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hate to disappoint ya, doc.

Now how about you help a fella out and tell me where Starscream and Shockwave are?

Now.

[redshirtrobot]

Two weeks.

[Fracas crosses his arms and exvents slowly, looking somewhere between exasperated, relieved... and glad. He'd wondered there for a while.]

You pass out and the whole place goes nuts.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...That long, huh? Feels longer.

[In more ways than one.]

Huh, you'd think it'd be the opposite.

[video]

[prime_junior]

Wheeljack! Y-You're okay!

Geez, what happened to you? You've been asleep for a long time.

[video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Oh hey, Jack. Glad to see you're still holding up here.]

Hey, kid. Guess you could say I had an out-of-body experience. Back home.

You holdin' up?

[Video]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Murder. Same old political bullshit.

[Oh and welcome back, he guesses.]

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Who's the culprit now?

[Meaning, who do we go after?

And it's good to be back, he guesses.]

[perma-audio + private]

[my_own_trope]

To what do I owe the pleasure of your sudden interest?

[perma-audio + private]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hey Screamy, finally got what ya meant by blowin' up Prime's base. And my ship, as a matter of fact.

Shame ya can't ever quite finish the job with me, huh.

[dinnerdate]

Aft.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

..Glad to see you're still as chipper as I remember.

[staresat]

[It wasn't often that Shockwave got a personal message directly to him.]

[So, when his creepy lair got filled with the Wrecker's voice via his computer, one could color him mildly intrigued.]

[A red stare is his greeting.]

....

[video; location encrypted]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Well, Christmas came early, Shockwave. Because Wheeljack certainly wanted you to get this message.]

Hey, cyclops. Figured you'd answer sooner or later.

Mind if I stop by?
