[Knock Out’s back from the death and sitting in an office chair. His firelizard, looking much calmer than the last time, is dozing off on his lap. The medic pets his wings distractedly. There’s no point on hiding his Breakylizard anymore, everyone could see him in the last post he made.]

I thought I got rid of this place but apaprently I can't have nice things. I can also see that the pillar is still out there. It’s been weeks, how's that the thing's still standing? [Weeks to him, anyway. Some really crazy ones with all that final battle, Megatron dying and him switching teams.]

Barricade we need to talk about your anger issues and how you owe me a big one.

[Yeah, yeah, he tried to eat you but he still considers blowing up his spark and cutting off his head a disproportionate retribution. That’s a video he won’t like to see again.]

Aside from that…let’s not talk about the past.

[Locked to Bulkhead.]

That sure was an interesting experience, teammate.

[/Locked to Bulkhead.]

[Locked to Skids.]

Tell me someone killed you too. [Otherwise, he knows what might be happening to your persona.]

[/Locked to Skids.]

[Locked to Fracas and Ravage.]

[Knock Out is clearly having a hard time letting out his next words but he finally manages to do it.] I’m sorry.

[/Locked to Fracas and Ravage.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Damn it Sentinel. Don't push ex-Cons too far, who knows what they can do.]

Yes you are but it's nothing compared to what Starscream usually does.

[Knock Out smiles, knowing he won the battle here.] Let me tell you something about Autobot medics. Something they have... [He announces, as he leans over to inspect Sentinel's wounds.]...big, flat fingers. Flat fingers that can only reach so far into a wound without opening it further.

[Sharp finger claws are so much more useful when it comes to work on small wounds made by bullets or blasts. Don't mind Knock Out pocking insides.]

[THAT'S NOT VERY AUTOBOT OF YOU, KO]

Why am I not surprised Starscream is a complete moron when he's not murdering Autobots?

[he's still flinching slightly. you may be a medic, and he may realise that if KO doesn't help him, it's only going to get worse. but god damn if it's not a natural reaction to those claws]

I don't usually spend a lot of my time in medbays being poked by medics. But you know, necessity and all that.

...Don't do anything you'll regret down there.

[he'll just be here chanting 'this is necessity' to himself over and over to try and justify letting a decepticon poke around in him]

[HE'S STILL LEARNING, OKAY?]

He's a moron when he's trying to kill Autobots too. Don't underestimate someone's infinite capacity for idiocy.

[He knows that the reaction is normal and as long as Sentinel doesn't pull away abruptly, something that could cause him damage, Knock Out won't pay attention to his squirming.]

That means that you need more check ups.

[Knock Out looks up for a moment, giving Sentinel an amused look at the 'down there' part.]

I wouldn't have been Megatron's medic if I didn't knew how to handle injuries. He always wanted to have his pain receptors online, though. And those should be....aha! Got you.

[Sentinel must be feeling a sudden pressure for a few seconds and then...nothing. IF there were pain now is completely gone.]

I know from experience that idiocy is not a finite concept.

[wait that sounded better in his head]

No it doesn't. If I needed a check up, I'd get one. Nothing is wrong with me, so I haven't had one.

[he notes the gesture and would smack KO upside the head for it, if the medic wasn't currently wrist deep in his innards. so instead he just vents heavily]

...Megatron's what?! What did you just do?

[OH GOD THIS WAS AN AWFUL IDEA HE IS GOING TO DIE]

[That gets a laugh out of Knock Out.] You know from experience, I can tell.

That's what most mechs say and you know that? When They are in the middle of a fight and their blaster does not work for some unknown reason they all realize that is too late to get an appointment.

[He's moving his hand out of Sentinel's insides, if it's of any consolation.]

I never mentioned that before? [Knock Out gives Sentinel the most innocent face he can pull.] Not anymore, though. Megatron's dead and I had reconsidered my life choices before that happened.

[Rolling his optics he looks for the nearest bottle of oil to clean his hand.] I disabled your pain receptors for the time being but if you are feeling masochistic I can turn them on again. If you aren't, stay still while I do the same to your leg.

I'm not stupid, I do basic checks to make sure everything is actually working. So, I don't want a medic poking around inside me every other week. Who cares?

[very. he visibly relaxes]

Huh. You're from Bulkhead's universe, right? He told me Megatron was still alive and committing heinous war crimes.

[he doesn't say anything, but considering ko hasn't been told to frag off then consider that the all clear for more meddling]

Basic check ups are only that, basic. Once a decade you need a proper one. [Knock Out wiggles his fingers.] I could be your medic, I have really nice hands. But you are discovering that already, don't you?

I am but I'm far ahead of him in time. Where I come from Megatron has already been defeated. [Knock Out stops his inspection of the leg.]

Although he's not technically dead anymore either. I am not sure if what he is now categorizes him as some sort of zombie. [Being revived by unicorn does weird things to people after all.]

What, for sitting at a desk?

[yeah just tell KO you can't into fighting, that's a good idea]

...Your universe is a complete mess. It would be nice if Megatron would die and then stay dead.

That's all you do back home? What a lazy aft. [That coming from Knock Out is a) plenty ironic b) really sad.

The best idea, clearly.]

Right, my universe. Is not like here people dies and comes back to life, or anything. [Knock Out rolls his optics and focus back on the leg, readjusting a few joins and pressing a finger down some cables.]

I am not lazy. My job just does not require me to be on the field all that often.

Hey, I didn't say this place wasn't messed up either. I truly cannot wait for the day we're all sucked back through the Lambda and go home.

Not all that often means 'almost never'? Ey, good for you. Less chances to end blown up.

Hm hmm....[Knock Out had almost found what was is looking for, there's just some more pocking around and then he managed to turn off the rest of the pain receptors.] What if we get back but the lambda screws up and mixes our world? I wonder how well you would do in mine.

Did you forget I come from a universe where we're no longer at war? I know it may be hard to grasp, but that doesn't actually entail going out into battle very often.

[he flinches even though he can't feel anything]

Don't. Just. Don't even. Go there.

No war between Autobots and Decepticons doesn't mean no conflicts at all. Did you forget our fighting nature?

[Why the flinch, Sentinel? Knock Out tilts his head, confused by that.]A 'thank you' would be nice.

Scared of the 'what if'?

No, it just means there's more politics and less punching each other.

[he's still a bit twitchy ok almost dying has that effect]

Thank you. For this highly uncomfortable experience.

I don't know what's worse. Politics were what caused the whole war.

[Blame Ambulon for that, not the sexy attractive medic fixing you up~]

You are welcome. [Some gratitude form time to time is all that takes to stay in Knock Out's good side. Let's see if the next time said gratitude is genuine.]
