[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.]
