4th Score ☣ [Video / Action]

[When the feed turns on, it's shaking violently and rhythmically. Kevin's communicator is sticking out of the pocket of his cargo shorts, capturing the landscape of the Badlands as
he makes a break for the Haven.

It's not until he's safe inside its walls a few minutes later that he takes out his phone and lets the feed broadcast his face. He's surprised to see it's already recording, but from the look of him, he's got more important things to worry about.

Kevin's got cuts and bruises all over his arms and face. Most of them are superficial, but a few on his upper arms look deep and caked with dried blood. More than that, though, he looks so much more unkept. His hair's matted and longer, and the clothes that once hung loose around his skinny frame are now taut and ill-fitted. Even a Cybertronian might be able to tell that they look uncomfrotable.

He's a lot calmer now than he had been the "first" time he'd been on the Network. Back then, he'd been angry and confused. Now, he's just... exhausted. And maybe, if you're good at reading human expressions, you can see a little fear in his eyes as he speaks.]

What happened?

How long was I goone this time?

[Wow, what was that, a glitch in his voice box?]

Does anyone remember me?

[Have a worried looking Wing, buddy.]

Afraid I don't have any answers for your questions, but allow me one of my own.

Can I help you? [Seriously, you look like you need help. Can he give you a ride somewhere? Like to the medics? ...Is there an organic medic in Haven? Would Knock Out know what to do with you? Wait...Knock Out mentioned Sora being able to heal...]

[Kevin looks even more worried at the sight of the unfamiliar robot. Oh man. Oh man. How much time did he lose now? Was he going to have to get to know everyone again? Was he ever gonna see Knock Out or Sari ever again?

Did the Firstforged ever come back?]

I don't know. Is Megatronus here?

None of the First Forged are currently here.

[Don't worry kiddo, Wing knows for sure that Knock Out is here, he's not met Sari to know if she's here or not, though, sorry.]

[At that, Kevin finds the strength to give a long, frustrated grunt.]

Are you kidding me? They -- augh! What about Megatron? The one who led the expedition. I like that one!

Man, why should I even bother coming back if every time people are just gonna be gone?! I should just go find them myself!

[Kevin pushes off the wall he's leaning on, intending to make a show of stomping forward because he is just that frustrated but the first clunk of his too-small combat boots sends a shockwave through his leg reminding him just how tired he is. Now that the danger of being outside Haven has passed, there's far less adrenaline to keep him moving.]

Urgh...! [Kevin drops to one knee, suddenly very aware of his injuries.]</small<

[sympathetic, though he's careful not to show it too much, lest it be taken for pity.]

Let me come help you. Please.

[Kevin maneuvers himself to a normal sitting position, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms.]

I guess. If you really want to.

[oh please oh please it hurts a lot but he doesn't wanna admit it.]

Tell me where you are. [He's so there. He shuts off the video and will head outside, keeping audio on so he keep keep talking to Kevin.]

I'm kinda in between the gates to the Badlands and Megatronus' temple. That's where I wanted to go before I decided to stop for a while.

[Because he's just resting. That's all. REALLY.]

[Wing is landing lightly on his feet near Kevin in short order. Unfortunately his alt mode isn't made for carrying passengers, so he can't just transform and offer for Kevin to climb in for a ride. Instead he kneels near the kid.]

Will you allow me to pick you up? I would like to take you to the medbay. [He just hopes Knockout knows how to care for organics...]

[Kevin looks Wing up and down before shakily getting back to his feet. A jet. Still, that aside, doing his best to stand without looking like it hurts -- and it does hurt, both his injury and his too-small shoes. Still, he forces a grin and nods.]

I guess that's fine, if you really wanna.

[PLEASE.]

[Wing is very gentle as he carefully scoops Kevin off of his feet. He stands again, hands cradled to his chest. He'll start off at a brisk walk, light on his feet and movements smooth.]

My name is Wing. What's your name? [Now that he's got the kid and is headed for the medbay, he can worry about pleasantries now.]

Can't say I do, fleshie. Just got here myself.

[Yeah, normally he'd be content to let the little runt be, but he was kinda curious about this turn of events. Largely because...]

Guess they were right about this not bein' the Cybertron from back home-- you're not clawin' at the ground dyin. Different atmo, different Cybertron.

Seems like everyone's got a different Cybertron. This one's my home, so I oughta be able to breathe here.

Pretty sure no Cybertron's ever been 'home' for your kind, skinjob.

[Although, if he was referring to this one in particular, and Bulkhead was here...]

'Less you're some bot's pet anyway. Did Bulkhead finally replace the last one? 'Cause I gotta say, I'd be real disappointed.

Never even got the chance to play with it.

If you're tryin' to scare me, scrap heap, you picked the wrong meatbag because I'm just getting annoyed.

[Could be worse, though. At least you're not a whiny, stinky jet.]

I wanted to scare ya, I'd hunt ya down and have a little target practice.

Just tryin' to figure out what universal Pit you crawled outta if you think Cybertron's home for your kind.

Not that it's any of your business, but I don't got a kind. I been a lot of places, and this was the best.

Don't know about that. "Human" seems to fit well enough.

Yeah, well, shows how much you know.

W...what?

K-Kevin?

[Sari gasps, staring at the comm in shock for a long moment- before grabbing it and giving it a shake, face pressed up against the screen.]

Kevin! You came back! Where have you been, you stupid butt!

Edited 2014-06-04 07:51 (UTC)

...Sari?

Edited 2014-06-21 03:12 (UTC)

[Gonna just ignore everything you said, because--]

Sari! You're still here! And you recognize me!

...Uh.

[What.]

Yeah? Why wouldn't I be? You're the one that vanished! And you're too obnoxious to forget!

[Huff!]

Right? I never thought I'd get to see your dumb pigtails again!

[HE SOUNDS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT]

I don't think I've met you yet and I've been here for almost six months.

Six months? Seriously?

Man, at least people recognize me this time. Maybe someone mentioned me. Kevin Levin.

Mmmm. No. Not really.

I'm Sora though.

[Seeing someone so young, especially a fellow human, is surprising enough. But seeing them look like they rolled downhill through a briar patch? That's even worse, especially when paired with his mad dash for safety.

But even that is nowhere near as bad as the look on his face. Rapunzel is one empathetic young lady, keen on picking up the feelings of others. It only takes a fraction of an instant for her heart to ache for this poor boy.]

I'm afraid I really can't answer any of those questions...

[Needless to say, she's too new.]

But if you'd like, I can come meet you in the Haven and heal your injuries. At least I can offer that much.

[Kevin looks at her with surprise. There never have been a lot of humans on Cybertron, and they generally didn't stand out from one another. But Kevin's first thought when he sees her is that she's... pretty.

He doesn't know what to do with that, and she offered to heal him, so he focuses on that part instead, expression still confused and dazed.]

Are you a doctor?

[That brings a small smile to her face, though it doesn't rid her expression of concern, not by a long shot.]

No, I'm not, though I am good friends with one of the medics. But I have my own way of healing... and it doesn't require weeks of recovery.

Someone's gonna take me to where the doctors are.

How's that?

The Medbay, right?

[Or do the humans have another place to go for that? Rapunzel has no clue. She's never needed to know.]

It's a little bit of a secret. But I can give you a hint. It might be magic.

It's hard to forget such lovely kid as you, Kevin. [Very irony, much sarcasm, such jerk.

He does offer some help, though.] Looks like you have been to hell and back, I suggest you to come to the medbay

Knockout!!

You're still here, too! You remember me!

Great things are hard to get rid off.

Good to see that you remember me as well. Where are you now? [You looked like you needed a ride.]
