[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.

[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.

[raceme]

[Yep, basically nothing new with this one.]

Are you sure yous _{shouldn't rest} a bit before? You look a bit tired and I don't want to burden you with unnecessary worries.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I've been restin' for two weeks. Seems like I got plenty of that.

Now again, what's gone down?

[Sorry Blurr, he's not one to stay tied down.]

[raceme]

You don't look all that rested, though.

Where do I start...[It doesn't really matter because he will gives Wheeljack all the details. He talks about Starscream attacking Strelok, about Kay's future -day arty, the Megatrons showing up and the biggest issue, Tarn and Chromedome. By the end of it he looks even more tired.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I'll get over it.

[Never tell Wheeljack to sit and rest when there's stuff to do!]

Where is Screamy? Think I could pay him a visit?

[raceme]

That I have no doubt.

[Fine fine...he explained things, did he not?]

He's in prison. And you know I can't _{allow anybody to torture} the prisoners, no matter how nasty, annoying and whiny they are. Ands trust me, I knwo he is all those things and more. [Stupid Starscream.] What happened? Why are you asking for him? Did he do this to you?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...

He tortured me for days on end.

Either you let me in to see him, or I'm bustin' in myself.

[raceme]

[Blurr's speechless for a few seconds, clearly shocked.] W-what? When was that? He's been here for more than a week. How could that be...? Wheeljack even if you don't want we need to take you to the medbay, Ambulon should give you a check up.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I'll give you the short and sweet version: When I blacked out, I went home. Saw Prime's base get blown to smithereens. Dunno about the others. But Starscream shot my ship down, and took me in for questioning

Pretty hospitable guy.

[raceme]

...

I would really like to leave you two alone, you know I never liked this Starscream much and this only made it worse. But I can't Wheeljack, I'm sorry. [So please don't ask him to go against his principles.] Besides, you will get in trouble.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Wheeljack's voice was sharp. And luckily, that's all it was. He wanted to tell Blurr off, but he had too much respect for him. He didn't HAVE to take the bot's orders. He could simply do this his way.

But he didn't.]

Then tell me what I can do.

[raceme]

[Blurr knew all that that but it didn't make it any easy.]

I...don't know. Wait for the right moment, perhaps. They come eventually. It won't bring you any peace to kill him torture him now.

[What Magnus would say about that?]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[He could debate that, but he won't say that out loud.]

Not makin' promises for the future, but I've got things to say to them NOW.

[A punch to the face isn't TECHNICALLY torture, right?]

[raceme]

[TFA bots, such pacifists sometimes. It makes things really hard.]

I think It's time for me to go do my patrols...

[That's as much of an okay as he can get from Blurr about the subject. He really wishes he could be of more help but he's been feeling like such a stranger around Wheeljack lately that perhaps it's better to let the Wrecker alone all together. If not like he need him anymore, anyway.]

Please be careful. [And he cuts off the transmission.]

[FINE BUT ONLY ONE PUNCH.]
