[Blue optics flickered on beneath that equally blue visor. As if someone had turned a switch on, Rewind sprang to life, after being in a coma for what seemed like weeks. It didn't feel that long to him--but then again, you wouldn't if you were comatose. There's an achy sit-up, as he notices wiring and life support tacked onto his systems.

Not a good sign.

He lifts an arm to see a robotic IV of Energon, and a spark monitor.

There's a quick fumble for his Link, checking the date immediately. Considering his previous personal log...he'd been out for quite awhile. It made his proverbial blood run cold.

He hits the record button.]

Okay, what happened.

[SURPRISE! HE'S BACK!]

Just...lying there? Unconscious?

[That worries him. What if it's going to occur more often?]

I'm fine...now. I just need to find out why I wasn't.

What happened to me.

Yes. I found you while we were searching for the murderers.

You don't... remember being attacked?

Nothing at all.

Where was I found, Kagerou? I...I don't know how exactly to take this just yet.

In the territory Prima claimed.

Where... the one called "Tarn" was supposed to be hiding. We thought... everyone thought maybe he hurt you.

Prima??

But...that was like..weeks ago!

And I wasn't even there for very lo-

[That would explain why your Prima visit was so short, idiot.]

Yes. It was.

We brought you back. You've been in the medical bay ever since...

...

[His head tilts down, looking at his hands.]

There's a gap of time missing from my brain.

[that's...worrying.]

How can I archive it now? I need someone to tell me everything that happened.

[He looks up at Kagerou. Yep. Lookin' at you, buddy.]

[His optic goes a little wide... but...]

Do you... need my memory data...?

I'll take whatever you can give me, Kagerou.

Even just story time. Anything.

Do you need me to come to you? Now?

Don't rush yourself, Kagerou.

I'm going to be here awhile, I'm guessing. We've got all the time in the world.

Literally.

... I want to see you, too.

Then come on down. I'm not going anywhere!

I'm coming, yes.

[And that's where he'll sit, at least for the time being! Medical bays were so boring...

Once you filmed it and looted all the best gossip, what else was there?]

[It really doesn't take him long to come swooping in, and... all but perch on the edge of where Rewind is laying.]

[He didn't even bother changing forms. He's just fluttering there, looking as concerned as a bird can look.]

...

[That's a bird. That's a very large bird. Like Laserbeak but HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS ONE.]

...

Uh.

Hi there.

[It stares at him for a second, before plating shifts. And, just like that, there's an AI crouched on the floor, instead of a big bird.]

Rewind.

OH!

[Well that clears everything up. And suddenly, the wings...everything. Makes sense. He turns into a bird.]

You're pretty quick.

[And a car. But he rarely ever uses that one...]

I was nearby. With... someone else.

Well, I'm not complaining. It's good to see you in good shape. I've been hearing I missed out on a lot.

How true is that?

It's... very true.

You were unconscious for so long... They thought you weren't coming back.

[Excuse him if he scoots a little nearer.]

...Oh.

[That made things significantly more interesting. He scoots a little closer himself, practically reading the thought in Kagerou's head.

When you're as old as he is, things are shown a lot more in actions than words could tell. He opens his arms up.]

C'mon, give me a hug, big guy.

[His wings perk up at that, and, after a moment of hesitation... he does just that. Carefully gathering up the smaller Autobot.]

[And holding on as long as his friend will let him.]

[His arms are tiny, but they wrap around the larger bot as best he can. It's not something he's foreign to.]

I missed you, bud.
