[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.

Where are you.

Talk to me, Perce, what'd I miss while I was gone, cause my schedule's quickly fillin' up.
video
Murder, torture, apparent attempted assault, multiple insane Megatrons appearing out of the bloody ground like radioactive flora... something bizarre going to Smokescreen's head, experiment failures...
[Don't let him go on, Wheeljack, you're just going to end up being vented at.]
video
[He'll just cut you off there, Percy.]
I've got some business to attend to. Involving Screamy and Shockwave.
video
[Nope, there he goes again.]
Do you have any idea what sort of trouble you've--
[HUFF.]
No. No you certainly do not. Not until we know what caused your delightful little fit of unconsciousness.
video
Right. Next time I'll knock myself out when it fits into your schedule better. We'll set a date.
[Nope, he really doesn't.]
Sorry, we'll have to play catchup sometime later.
I went home, Perce.
video
See to it that you do.
[Excuse him while he claws at his face.]
No, you didn't. You lay on a table unconscious for over a week. I saw it.
[... Were you checking up on him?]
video
Good bedside manner, Sarge. I'm flattered.
But THIS.
[He points the camera down to his torso, where a large, considerably deep mark across his chest lay, BURNT in.]
Think I'd remember where I was for that.
video
[This is how Perceptor shows he cares. Kind of.]
...
That wasn't there, last I saw you. What on Cybertron have you been doing...?
video
I helped Team Prime--I saw Bulkhead doused in Tox-En. Went for revenge against an Insecticon. Saw my...my friend's BASE get blown to scrap.
Taken prisoner. Starscream and I had a little chat that ended in a prod across my chest. It tickled.
[His voice is dark, recreating every memory in his mind perfectly.]
Wanted to know where the others were. Didn't know, so I couldn't tell him. Shockwave decided to get a little more creative, goin' the cortical psychic patch route.
Next thing I know? I'm wakin' up here.
Now you know that's way too colourful a story to make up on the spot.
video
[No you're not, Perceptor, you're worried. Deal with it.]
Is there a medic present? If you truly have suffered some sort of damage, then it needs to be seen to before you go scurrying off again.
You can finish your story afterward.
video
I'm fine. I've been through worse than this. Starscream couldn't get me to talk even if his claws went through my spark chamber. Assumin' they can even get that far.
[And he's the world's worst patient.]
I wanna see Screamy. And the one-eyed-freak.
video
[HE'S NOT UPSET NO B( ]
video
[Bring it, bigfoot.]
video
Fine.
Stay there.
video
[There's no way you can catch him. No way.]
video
video
video
And now that I have your destination, this should be simple.
video
Percy, I mean it, don't come after me.
[As if to emphasize his point, he's going to transform and head there. Full speed.]

[Well joke's on you then, cause he's almost at Liege's!]

[ -- gets about ten feet from his door, before stopping himself. And reversing.]
Very well.
Throw yourself upon the negligible mercy of the Decepticons if you will. I've other messes to clean up.
[I wash my hands of this weirdness -- wasn't that what he'd said not even twenty-four hours ago?]
audio
You sure know how to take all the fun out of somethin', don't you.
audio
My research is. Work that is, I might add, significantly easier without sprinting after half the population of this wretched pit.
audio
Then why did you come after me in the first place.
