If Fire had whilted at the look his father gave him, all of this fun would have been for nothing. That, and the stern look he was dishing out didn't last long. He knew the adults had a sense of humor too - the medic just didn't. He remained still when Red picked up the brush, only idly kicking his legs in the water that was quickly becoming a color not meant for water, thanks to his and Twilight's gracious donations of paint. "Inferno didn't come back to the common room," he replied smoothly. "And Redstar and Cloudburst just.. cuddled. And I was bored, so..!" The once again silver sparkling squeaked when he was plucked from the basin, and half-glowered up at his dad before looking over to the medic. "Sorry? And I dunno what your color's called - what is it?"
--
Oh? S'that it? Heh, well, Red, m'not so sure 'bout goin' into Ratch's medbay without a reason. 'Re y'headin' t' th'e common room afterwards?
---
If there was a Cybertronian phrase equal to 'goes in one ear, and out the other,' Thundercracker would be thinking it riight about now. Starscream was such a drama queen sometimes. Translate it into common sense, it would read 'blah blah blah, boo hoo, blah blah blah, me, blah, me blah blah me me me blah jealousy blah lost blah blah mine mine mine mine mine mine mine' so on and so forth. Really, Starscream, the blue Seeker replied apathetically. The more time I spend in your presence, the more intelligence I feel fleeing my processor. You really are a fool.

I will be soon. I think I'll end up with Twilight with me. I think Raven and Rewire might be... indisposed...
Red had mixed feelings about seeing Inferno again after the recent revelation. He wanted to see him, but then again he was unsure of what was to come next.
~*~*~*~
Starscream scowled at Thundercracker for a moment.
Why don't you go frag yourself Thundercracker. It might put you in a better frame of mind.

Oh, Inferno knew the meaning of that word. Been u'while since y'u've had tha' problem y'urself, huh? Well, not countin' th' highgrade. I'll meet y'u there - two sets u'optics're more useful f'r two sparklin's.
---
Better state of mind? Thundercracker snorted at the other Seeker. Not when I have to share air space with a slagger like you.

Chimera slowly came back into consciousness and blinked her optics a few times before snuggling against Thundercracker a bit more. He was so warm and it felt so nice here. Before long she had a very odd feeling and she looked around seeing Starscream there. She scowled. Starscream chuckled. Chimera only felt afraid because she was so small and fragile in comparison to the others. She turned purple optics up to Thundercracker and whispered, "I don't like him. He's bad. Bad even for one of us! Daddy doesn't like him. Mommy doesn't like him. He hurt mommy."
~*~*~*~
Red sputtered, shocked at what Inferno had just said.
I-inferno! And the highgrade did not put me that low. I still managed my shift! He paused and smirked, Besides, I'm sure it's been a while since you've had that particular problem as well.

"No one really likes 'Screamer, Chimera," the blue mech replied, making no effort to lower his voice, although he did move his arm up a bit higher to give the sparkling a little bit of comfort and safety. "He's too egotistical and stuck on power for anyone to like him."
---
Oh has it been? Y'u know, sometimes, I forget. They say th' longer y'u can go without it, th' better y'u can handle it. But I guess y'u missed tha' memo.

Chimera nodded and glared at Starscream then stuck her glossa out at him. Starscream raised an optic ridge and laughed again.
"You are very much like your mother."
~*~*~*~
Really, Inferno. And what makes you think that I'm the one so desperate for anything? Perhaps you're projecting your own desperation upon me? Red was enjoying this far too much. Really. He was.

"Which is not a bad thing," Thundercracker countered for the sparkling. "Nightstrike is not a bad femme - just a femme that you can't control. And that's why 'Screamer's a monk that doesn't get any anymore - because he doesn't have the ball bearings."
---
Oh, y'u've caught me tha' fast? Sheesh, y'u really're good at conspiracies. But yes, y'u've caught me - m'as frustrated as logically possibl' 'nd I intend t'jump y'u as soon as I get th' chance. Happy?

Chimera tilted her head, confused and unable to read between the lines of what was going on between the two Seekers. She could feel the tension, but apart from that, she was clueless. She simply shrugged, "Ok."
Starscream, however, prickled at the comment.
So what are you suggesting, Thundercracker? That I go and take her? I maybe stupid, but I'm not *that* stupid! I am not a monk. I just have had other more important things on my mind.
~*~*~*~
Red's faceplates flashed warm yet again from embarrassment.
Inferno... I... *gerk* Y-you don't mean that. Right?

Something to keep your mind off of your frustration, the blue Seeker smirked as he replied. I'm sure that was the real reason why you were off 'patroling' - trying to burn off energy meant for interfacing.
---
Don' I? Inferno grinned as he replied, I thought y'u were good at conspiracies?

I went on patrol because I was bored out of my ever-loving mind, thank you very much. I have no interest in such trivial matters as interfacing at the moment. Starscream looked smug and folded his hands in his lap. If I truly wanted to, I'm sure I could find someone to accomodate me.
~*~*~*~
Red's mind whirled and spun, trying to work out if Inferno was merely teasing him or being completely serious.
Conspiracy? Th-this is no conspiracy. It's just... Oh frag... I don't know what this is.

Ah yes, that Shaba. I'm glad she's obsessed with you - an idiot for an idiot, don't you think Starscream?
---
Normal, the mech supplied helpfully. S'normal - every Cybertronian deals wit' somethin' like this, so long as they weren't th' whole 'love at first sight' kinda couple. S'not bad, Red, s'just normal.

Starscream frowned again at Thundercracker.
Shaba isn't all bad, and she is far from an idiot. She seems to have gone off me though. I thought her and Skywarp had become rather close, but I haven't seen him around in ages.
~*~*~*~
I suppose. I don't know. There's a lot to think about.
Red sighed.

Maybe far from an idiot to you, but there's more to surviving than just the war zones. Like now, even though we're both rearing for a fight, we manage to keep ourselves.. ah, what's the word? 'Leashed'? If she was out and about, she'd be starting trouble that would end up getting her slagged.
---
Y'u're tellin' me. I've been thinkin' 'bout it, 'nd s'not so complicated. Not so much.

"Chartreuse," rumbled the Hummer without missing a beat, optics flicking to Red Alert. "If you're taking the bitlings off my hands, they're done now."

Ahh, but because I can move in ways those idiot jets can’t, I stand a chance, Cloudburst replied, a hint of a laugh to it.
It was her ability to stop, move sideways, climb and drop vertically that were her trumps over the Seekers… and other Decepticon jets... Though it was a thin line of protection. And if she truly thought too hard about how they were significantly larger and faster than her, it started to worry the copter. It drew her back to Redstar and she paced him again for a while.
Besides, we have so few fliers, I have to.
--------
Twilight peeked over the hands now done scrubbing her paint-free; glancing between the medic naming his color, which made no sense, and Uncle Red. Where were her creators? “Iaonno,” she shrugged. “Yeah, I can go with you.”

Starscream closed his optics and leaned his head back.
I don't think she would do that. Has she so far? Not that I've seen any evidence of, at least.
~*~*~*~
How can you say that it's not that complicated? I can see nothing but complications.
Typical Inferno. Making light of such a serious thing. Ratchet's voice caught his attention, "Ah, right, thank you Ratchet and sorry for the mess. Come along then Twilight."
Red led the sparklings to the common room.
"Do you two want some energon?"
~*~*~*~
I know ya do. We all gotta do what we gotta do. Mebbe we'll get a few more flyers along th' line.
Redstar watched her for a bit, sensing her apprehension.
Dun worry. S'long as I'm here I'll keep an optic on ya from down b'low.

Geh, why was he even fighting against Starscream. Every decent Decepticon warrior knew the only way to deal with the vainglorious Seeker was to ignore him. And he had just been feeding the fire. Thundercracker rolled his optics before settling on silence and dimming his optics. Arguing with Starscream had never been entertaining enough to keep him.
---
S'cause y'u're lookin' too hard, the fire engine replied cheerfully before making his way towards the common room.
---
FireBond frowned slightly at Ratchet's words. "But that's notta color - !" His protest was cut short as he was led out of the common room, still slightly confused. It wasn't yellow, but it wasn't green either... He picked his head up at Red's question, glancing over at Twilight before answering, "I do."

Twilight clambered down and followed Red. She stopped just in the doorway and turned around, realizing well after the fact that they had just left a mess for the char- huh? medic to clean up. Squeaking a little "Sorry, I'll... do something." in the doorway, the sparkling femme turned and hurried to follow after Fire and Uncle Red.
"Energon? Ok."
-------
Cloudburst laughed. You always have, hun. I have no reason to think otherwise. She tipped and scanned the area. It's pretty out here.
Adjusting her pace to match Redstar's, she moved above him, transformed and dropped lightly onto the roof of his alt. When Cloudburst shifted from the crouch, she lay and curled against his warm armor with a pleased little purr.

Chimera saw that Thundercracker looked as if he had gone to sleep. She frowned and poked him in the nose. "I'm bored."
~*~*~*~
Quicksilver had kept an optic on his sister the whole while. If he thought he disliked Thundercracker, he hated Starscream even more. He growled to himself and shook his head, trying to ignore them to some degree.
Hey Biter, how are you and that protoform getting along?
~*~*~*~
Red handed FireBond and Twilight a small cube each and then grabbed one for himself.
You're not looking hard enough. It's all well and good for you to think that it would be wise to rush headlong into such things. I... cannot.
~*~*~*~
Redstar chuckled when Cloudburst landed on him.
So th' view's good from up there, huh? Ya wanna stop here fer a bit? Or I could keep drivin'. S'up to you.

The Seeker onlined his optics to look down at the sparkling poking his nose, and frowned back at her. "What'm I supposed to do?"
---
Better, I could say, the blue mech replied, having stopped to get a cube of energon, and had settled in to watch. Namely, the Seekers, one of which he hadn't become.. acquainted with as a sparkling. It seemed Chimera was making up for what he had missed. Sorta itching for something to do, though.
---
Can y'u be pulled 'long? 'Nd I am not rushin' into 'nythin' - jus' tauntin' y'u. S'fun.
---
Fire took the cube happily enough, glancing around the common room as he drank the energon.
