[Video] [Originating from Trionic Temple]

[The feed opens to show everyone's favourite crow girl, who...in all honesty has been in better spirits. In fact, she's nothing like how she usually is. Instead of bouncing around, she's taken to remaining curled in a beanbag chair in her room, holding the link as if it could disappear at any moment. Her eyes are red and puffy, her cheeks are tear streaked, it's...it's a mess. When she realizes the feed is on, those eyes harden for a moment.]

I want to see everyone right now. Bad things happen when people leave.

[She's rather short on words right now.]

Private to Soundwave

Soundwave...I need to see you. Please.

Private to Cliffjumper (Prime)

Thank you for picking me up...

Sure thing, Rockstar.

Tryin' to get my head clear. Sorry. I'm kinda -- off. But I guess we all are.

Can I bring you anything?

I have tea...

[It was cold, but it was tea. She really couldn't complain.]

I'm sorry...are you sick?

[She hadn't gotten too bad affects of the calling just yet. Thankfully. That'd be a terrible double whammy.]

My head's been pounding too.

I could bring some soup from the Hub. Nice an' hot.

Just got a lot of buzz an' static in my ears. I'll work it.

Well, you got a lot on your mind. I don't blame you.

[Soup sounded amazing. It's not like she had anything up in that nest either.]

Y-You wouldn't mind?

...

I've been getting that too. Not a lot, but--

Did you hear about...Mr. Kagerou?

Not at all, I'll bring it.

...You too?

I. I did. An' Wheeljack. An' Fracas.

Thank you...

[She gives a nod, but it's quickly interrupted by those eyes going stone cold.]

Fracas too!?

S'what I heard.

...Easy. We'll talk about this when I come over. I'll be right there, hon.

O-Okay...

[Kagerou, First Aid, Fracas...

This is just not her day.]

Be careful.

I will. Promise.

[She gives a slight nod, bundling up in that beanbag chair as she waits. It's almost agonizing, because she'd been waiting for Kagerou.

What if Soundwave doesn't come?]

[Fortunately, he does.

Soundwave transforms into his robot mode as he arrives once more to see Kay. He has clutched in a hand some heated soup in a thermos.

To note, though, his windshield seems to be missing, having been replaced temporarily with a paperbag. A paperbag with, uh, a smiley face on it.]

Yo, Kay.

[There's no hesitation. As soon as Soundwave arrives, she bolts to the door, practically jumping up to his lower leg and throwing her arms around him. It's him. It's really him. Those hands cling to that metal, practically clawing to keep ahold of it as she buries her face into it's cold surface.]

Soundwave!!

[She doesn't notice his little paper bag replacement just yet. She's far too happy to just see him. He's there.

He kept his promise.]

I'm so happy to see you...

Oh, hon! Hey.

[Soundwave kneels down and holds out his hand in offering to her.]

C'mere, you. Lemme try to return that hug, yeah?

[She almost giggles at that, moving from the leg to that extended hand, wrapping her arms around a digit.]

Okay, b-but no squishing.

Oh darn! I was, like, gonna totally smoosh you all over my face.

[Slowly, he pulls her up towards his face, where his mask retracts and he's gently nuzzling her side.]

Smooooooosh.

[Goddammit, Soundwave, why are you so perfect. When he nuzzles into her, those arms throw themselves around his face, a giggle finally escaping her.]

S-Smoooosh!

[Just...something to take her mind off everything. Everything that scared her. She felt...protected again.]

That's my girl.

[Gently, he nuzzles her affectionate, smiling fondly to Kay. He knows she's hurting; they both are. But the least he can do is lighten the load.]

Here, Rockstar. Hot soup for the troubled tum.

[He raises his other hand, offering the thermos.]

[That smile seems to tickle, and she flinches away out of that little sensation, but at least her smile's widening. Heck, she almost seems back to her bubbly self. Soundwave was here, she knew there was nothing to fear now.]

Oh!

[At the sight of the soup, she takes it gratefully. It was much better than the cold tea she'd prepared. After giving a nod of thanks, she opens it, sipping. And almost immediately, colour starts to return to her face.]

S-So...

[Oh wait, not completely back to normal, she's still dealing with the whole death thing.]

A lot of things happened...

There you go.

[Already, she looks better.

His smile fades a bit as the conversation takes a turn for the serious. Not that he could blame her.

They should talk about it.]

Yeah. They did. I'm sorry you saw any of it.

[Those fingers drum on the thermos, eyes cast down.]

I hate Overlord.

[She wasn't used to saying such strong language, but it feels justified this time.]

You ain't alone in that. I hate him, too.

I hope they can put 'im away forever.

I agree. No one deserved what they got.

Mr. Kagerou and Fracas...they were so nice...

All of 'em didn't deserve it. I know.

We can mourn them. But we gotta continue on for 'em, too.

[She takes another sip of her thermos, her eyes staring into the blank space of the room.]

Mr. Soundwave...I don't want this to happen to anyone else. I want to do something about it next time.

I couldn't help my dad, and I couldn't help them.
