re_alignment | Not so triumphant return [Audio]

...!!!

[That voice! He'd know that voice anywhere.]

Lord Megatron!?

[No...not the same one. Even if it is, he won't remember...

But the Seeker has to reply anyway.]

This is Thundercracker. Hold your position, sir. I'm on my way.

[And indeed he is! He's transformed to alt and is JETTING out that, pun absolutely intended. Haven may well rock a little from the sonic boom of hsi passage as he follows the signal to its source]

Thund...cker, it... me.

Wi... do.

[And Megatron would be, with one optic flickering and threatening to go out, along with his previously severed hand once again severed he wasn't up to trying to figure out his way back on his own, with his navigation blown.]

[Thundercracker can't tell if Megatron recognized him or just acknowledged him identifying himself. Well...he'll know for sure soon enough.]

[He finally arrived, transforming midair to land and drop immediately into a crouch, beginning to assess the damage and start some field repairs. He's no doctor, but he's handled enough battle wounds to get leaks patched up and the like until he can get the mech to the medbay.]

Sir, do you remember what happened?

[Megatron smiled to the flyer as he landed. Rumbler, the tank drone, was clamped onto the end of Megatron's injured arm, capping it off effectively, while the hand itself was held in the leader's other hand. The flickering optic finally chose to give up and went dark.]

No, I don't remember.

[Now that there wasn't distortion to the communication he was able to speak freely to the other.]

Last thing I do remember is being in Alpha Trion's library, reading up on what he had available for the typical studies our human friends take.

I can only guess that by finding myself out here... I disappeared, did I not? My chrono isn't functioning properly, how long?

[Thundercracker relaxed from a tension he'd not realized he'd been holding until he felt his wings shift down on his back a little.]

[It /was/ him. The same him. The one who would remember the Seeker. He hadn't let himself think about how much that would mean to him . . . or how much it would hurt otherwise.]

[The last got him to pause and look up.]

…two months, sir. It's been two months. [wry, almost rueful grin] You haven't missed much, honestly. There was some kind of illness that went around, able to affect Cybertronians and organics alike. Even took down one of the Earth bots, McCrane. I understand a cure's been found for it now, though. Knock Out has it. Things have been quiet otherwise.

For what it's worth . . . it's good to have you back. Ravage will be happy. And I think you caught that your second, Starscream, is here now too? He just arrived about a week ago.

[He found himself hoping Megatron would still accept having him around as well, and he pushed the thought aside, concentrating again on the first aid work.]

((ooc: I-I think it was back around Xmas?? orz I can't remember for sure. Whatever the correct timeframe, assume that's what TC stated.))

I am sorry to have caused any hurt or problems with my disappearance.

[Even with only one properly functioning optic he had caught that loss of tension.]

I have noticed Starscream's arrival, I hope you have afforded him the friendship you have given me, I know he would appreciate it.

Couldn't be helped. The pull of the Badlands can be powerful and can take us by surprise. It did me, once.

[He didn't assume that Megatron would remember, but certainly did –that time he'd come back to his senses when he'd been beset by a group of monsters to find himself on the edge of the Badlands. Megatron and Blurr had come out to help him back into Haven.]

[He nods.]

Yes, sir. We've been flying together once. He seems like a good and worthy mech.

[Moreso than himself.]

[ curse CJ for telling him to be wary of Megatrons in general. Does that guy really think Starscream would listen to that? ]

...M-Megatron?

[ he sounds so hopeful. ;A; ]

Sta...ream? Is th... you my f....d?

[Megatron was... fairly certain he was hearing his Starscream, and while he had no way of gauging time, if Starscream was here then... something must have happened.]

It... ...e, I am ge.... ...sistance ba... to Ha...n.

[ vented sigh of relief there. then it's replaced with nothing but worry. ]

Yes, yes it is me. Now stop speaking before something is further damaged. Thundercracker is on his way, yes?

I will be waiting at the clinic.

[ oh he is going to fuss, mister. likely annoy Knock Out in the process too. ]

[The roar of turbines is audible in the background.]

Starscream, I'm almost to his position. We'll meet you at Knock Out's.

[Reporting to him for two reasons: 1) it's just the right thing to do, this is "his" (Stars') Megatron after all, 2)....well, habit. Chain of command and all that. He doesn't really thing about it, just does it.]

[ it's all right. He doesn't realize it either. ]

Report his condition as well, if you don't mind.

Yes, sir.

[Later…sticking to audio since he's busy patching wounds.]

Starscream, it's Thundercracker. I've located Lord Megatron. Most notable injuries seem to be a head wound that's affected vision with one optic almost out, a severed hand, and his nav is down. Beginning field repairs now.

[ asdfasd sir isn't necessary!

but after a bit - and much anxiety - hearing TC relaxes him... for all of the time it takes for a damage report. the silence is audible, really. it's like you can almost taste Starscream's unease and worry. ]

I should be there...

[ ;A; and it's taking everything he has not to flip out. ]

Edited 2014-02-27 23:33 (UTC)

...

[Oh, yeah, he can hear it. And he's having to bite /his/ glossa to not comment on the juxtaposition of the actual reaction and the one he finds himself half-expecting, even KNOWING this flyer is the polar opposite. If you hear something enough times, it tends to stick, after all.]

I'm sending our coordinates. I'm sure I could manage by myself - [At least...he's /pretty/ sure, though Megatron IS notably bigger than he is.] - but having a second flyer will get him to the medbay that much quicker and easier.

I...

[ augh. yeah. TC can hear the shifting of metal. giving him an invitation like that. ]

I'm on my way.

[ at top speed too. ]

[He understands. He truly does.]

We'll be here.

Stars....m it... ...od to hear ...ou my fr...nd.

My vo....er is no... ...maged, the... ...s inte...ance a... any dis...ce from Ha...en.

Yes, Thu...crack... is on hi... ...ay her...

I a... not su...sed ...uld wor... if yo... we...n't or com... for ...e you... self.

[ well... that puts some worries to ease. then again, knowing his great leader, Starscream still wonders about his condition... ]

To be fair, it is always good to hear from you - even if I am not sure that this can really count at the moment.

And don't tempt me to fly out myself. Don't think that I didn't consider it!

Starscream, when have I ever managed to keep you from doing anything once you have your mind set to it?

[It was a bit tempting to have Starscream come out to meet him, he missed the other flyer greatly.]

((Pretend there is still interference, phone tagging makes it hard to get that to happen.))

[ oh he'll be coming. sooner or later. ]

You would be surprised. There seem to be quite a few of you that can make me see reason.

Then I will count my blessings as they are, for sometimes you go beyond reasonable need to take care of things. Not that it is ever unappreciated, simply that I worry for your own sake, with how much you put your own wellness aside to do so.

((Wooo more phone tags, so again please imagine interference.))

[ can you hear him fluster and sputter. ]

I-I do not! You are the one that should take your well being into account more often than I!

[Wait, is that? What's with everybody coming back lately?]

Megatron?

Bul...ad?

I a... somewh... ...ut i... wast...ands. Thu...crak... comin... to wh...e I a...

Megatron?

What are your coordinates?

Doc... I ma... ...e comin... ...o see you wh...n I ge... in.

I can... te... my navig... is ou...

...right.

Okay I think I got it. [More or less.] I'll get everything ready.

Than... ...ou.

You are welcome. [A nice Megatron is still hard to him to deal with.] I talked to your second in command, he's here too.

[The roar of turbines can be heard in the background.]

Knock Out, get the medbay ready. I should have him in shortly.

[That's the plan, anyway...]

I'm already at the clinic. Do you know what happened to him?

No. Lord Megatron can't tell me. He doesn't remember. His last memory is of being in the libraries at Alpha Trion's doing research. My guess is the Badlands got to him, but then he escaped somehow. No telling what happened to him in the meantime.

…he's not showing burn marks or any melted patches, at least.

[Which tells Thundercracker that at least it wasn't those demons. That's something. A BIG something in the Seeker's optics.]

I can check his memory banks with the Cortical Psychic Patch but it's an invasive procedure so I'll have to ask him first.

None that you can't see, and that's good, but I'll check his innards to make sure everything's its place. [For they know, Megatron could be missing his t-cog.]

Understood. We should be there soon. Sounds like Starscream's coming out to help too.

Which Starscream? The white one or other?

Mn. Sorry. The negative-polarity one.

[As far as he can tell, they're both white, so…]

[Ah, true. He meant the one with the white helped, the SG one.]

Then he can come, he's bearable. [Knock Out actually likes him quite a bit.]

[That gets a low, quick laugh despite the situation.]

That's an understatement.

We should be there soon.

[Laughing is good, specially when there's tension in the air.]

You are close friends?

Getting ready.

[Despite the breaking up, Ravage recognizes that voice. Have one happy jaguarkitty!]

MEGATRON!!!

Edited 2014-02-27 01:13 (UTC)

[Megatron forces his end to stay on audio. While he isn't the most slagged up he's ever been, he is far from presentable for the young jaguar to see, in his own opinion.]

Rava... It is go... to he... ...ur voic...

[Head tilt at just getting audio. Maybe Meg's camera is broken.]

R u OK???

I took good care of Star for u.
