re_alignment | 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?

[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.]
