"Ew! Wtf! She's probably all rusted and gnarled in that old can of her's," shudders at the thought of sparking with Nightstrike. "Illuminescence is mine and I'm quite proud to say that she didn't come from that 'Wicked Glitch of the Western Quadrant'" Skywarp smiled. "What was the first thing she did when you walking into the room?"

Starscream gave Skywarp a cool look, "Don't let her hear you say that, even though I detest her myself." He tilted his head, "Have you even met her yet?" Waving his hand dismissively he looked back down at the sparkling and answered the question, "I'm afraid I wasn't paying attention at the time. I was busy reading something."

"I saw her when we had that run in with Frostbite," Skywarp replied and then explained, "Since we are twins our spark signatures have a extremely similiar frequency to each other. The presence of such a similiar frequency to me own seems to have a calming effect on her. I noticed her tear streaks when I awoke but she wasn't crying anymore. Just earlier I had to chase after her, it's how we ended up in the commons in the first place, and Thundercracker was in here along some femme I forgot her name now. I skidded into the femme as I was attempting to snatch sparkling spilling her drink on her front. The older femme snarled at her and she hid behind my leg because the femme was making Lumi nervous but as soon as she spotted our brother she calmed down drasticlly."

Starscream's memory was jogged, yes, he had at least been at the rough end of Nightstrike's tongue and, as odd as it seemed, he actually felt a little defensive of the femme at the moment, not that he would actually say anything aloud to defend her.
He absentmindedly nodded at Skywarp's explanation for the sparklings behaviour, "As interesting as all that is, don't expect me to sparkling sit. I don't care for them in the least. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to my reading."
Picking up his cube and his datapad he found a more isolated seat and settled in soon losing himself in the book he was reading. The humans, for all their flaws, were quite creative in their literary efforts at times.

"I wasn't expecting you to," Skywarp rolled his optics and sighed to himself, "Why me?" Skywarp noticed Lumi had nodded off again so he began petting her again but he was starting to get restless. So he pulled up the Internet and started search for music. He had been quite intrigued by Earth's musical tastes unbeknownsted to anyone else. He soon stopped at a song titled, 'Phantom Agony' by Epica and played it through his audios. Suddenly he found himself humming along though it was rather dark in nature.

"Mmm. Wriggle, you fingers," Dissever grinned at her, then ran his own checks. "Got me good, but I've got him one better." Smug little wink at her, then he hopped off the berth. "Nice work," he murmured, arms sliding around Blizzard in a quick hug.
--------------------
This was a mess.
Not an unusual or particularly tangled mess, but still a Very Big Headache to work through. Starscream was going to find himself with a big smoking hole in his head, first up, when Ratchet finally got his hands on the Seeker - for a myriad of little insults that stretched to Mission City, before, and after.
And now Ratchet found himself wavering; since Ironhide had staggered in, the mech had read way off on his scans, with symptoms that did not sit well with the medic. The amount of damage taken did not correlate with his behaviour; he'd known 'Hide to have had taken worse damage and still be as cheerful - or rather grumpy - as he usually was.
Conflict showed in the frown, in the taut line of lip components; Raven against 'Hide. Finally decided that the Vanquish was stable enough for someone else to take over, and he commed 'Jack, laying aside the tools he'd been using.
Take over Raven. She's stable. Focus on minor injuries.

Rewire looked at the medic, calming down as he’d worked and his mate had stabilized. ’kay, love. Come back to me, Raven. Know you’re in there. ‘nd it’s not fair to Twilight to stay in the dark much longer… she needs her mom. I need her mom.
He glanced over as Redstar and Wheeljack had brought in the weapons specialist. Looking at Ratchet’s expression, watching him set aside the tools. Considering that the Land Rover had worked so long on the Hummer under the watchful and slightly intimidating optic of Ironhide, he wasn’t so shocked the concern was mutual.
For his mate, he could manage repairs and rewiring the crossed circuit issues back to their original configuration, and a temporary patch until he could fit her for a new chestplate. Somehow he wanted to do that for her. A settling intake and he stepped forward, tossing his head and optics over to the prone black mech.
“Go,” he said softly, “I can live up to my designation.”
--------
Cloudburst hummed, still stroking over her bonded’s forehead. Poor mech still had little things that snuck between armor and got to him. She curled to him and shuttered her optics, dozing.

Blizzard did not miss the look Dissever gave her and she raised an optic ridge, "And just what do you mean?"

Feigned innocence.
"Mean what?" Friendly nuzzle, then Dissever moved away to clear up a little. The silent internal alert from his console had pinged on his HUD, and he tapped into the live feed, loading the results.
--------------------
What do you need? was the reply, distracting him. Megatron turned to face her, curious.
--------------------
Ratchet blinked, turned to the engineer. Ducked his head, accepting, commed Wheeljack again. Some kind of mood had been broken, and he couldn't place his finger on it. It wasn't the unease, because that still remained; it wasn't the earlier fatigue, because he'd caught his second wind.
Belay that, 'Jack, Rewire's working on Raven.
The medic stood by the berthside for a moment longer, hand poised, thinking, before plating slid away to reveal the tools he carried.
Maybe it was just them, all of them, adjusting to a new pattern.
--------------------
He hadn't been designated Prowl for nothing. Despite the starkness of his paintjob, Prowl was often forgettable enough that not many actively saw him, or really remembered him.
The Nissan had remained in Control, wings giving the occasional flick, until the team had scrambled back to base - at the moment, he was on his way down to the medbay, in search of team members, to get their oral reports firsthand.
Hadn't been as clean as they'd hoped, he saw. Ironhide on the berth, Raven on another, Rewire looking resolute. The rest of the team was conspicuously absent.

Blizzard scowled, fine, if he didn't want to tell her he didn't have to. Probably would before too long anyway. She went and started to clean up when realization dawned on her and she trotted over to him, "It's that virus, isn't it? You got it working."
~*~*~*~
Nightstrike continued to type her report, not looking at Megatron. Finally she had gathered some calm about her and commed back. I need you to come with me, that's all. I... think you could do with getting out of the control room for a little bit.
~*~*~*~
Raven slowly became more aware of the world around her. At first it was the darkness growing less black and more grey. Next sound started to filter through although it did not make sense.
Touch registered.
"GET THE FRAG OFF ME!"
She flailed and thrashed as she came back online fully.

Rewire gasped, regaining himself and reacting before he really thought about it. He pinned Raven's shoulders, just hard enough to keep her from hurting herself further - "Raven. It's me." Out loud as well. A sparkpulse, soothing through the bond. "Easy, easy... You're safe. You're home."

Rewire's voice only half filtered through the panic that filled her and her shoulders being pinned down didn't help things, but the sparkpulse grabbed her attention and with sobs wracking her intakes she blinked up at Rewire. She flooded her bond to him with such a mix of emotions. There was everything from fear, to relief of seeing him again, to rage at her inability to have gotten away from Starscream. Oh... Rewire...

He sighed, pulling his hands from her shoulders, looking down at his bonded and replying with comfort, support. 'ey, love. Rewire quirked a little smile, putting one of her hands over his chestplate. Easy, Ratchet only got started, I've still got moreta fix. Don't go undoin' the medic's work.

Raven regained her composure, latching onto Rewire's presence both physically, emotionally and spiritually through their bond. He anchored her and helped her to keep her mind from shattering in a million different pieces. O-okay.
Relaxing slightly on the berth, she shuttered her optics and allowed Rewire to work constantly searching him out.

Rewire ran his knuckles over Raven's cheek, then started working. He didn't want to offline her, so he just worked carefully. The Land Rover let his engine purr so she could follow him and told her everything he was about to do. It was sort of boring, a little monotonous, "Disconnectin' this... solderin' that... calibratin' whatever..." but he hoped it kept her grounded.

Raven nodded and her hand reached out to rest on Rewire's hip. The words weren't important. For all she cared he could have been reading the phonebook and it would have been fine. Just know he was there was what mattered. A sudden panicked thought raced through her processor and she opened her optics to look up at Rewire. Twilight? How is Twilight?

She's fine. The blue mech paused and scanned to confirm it, finding her in the common room. He recalibrated her vocalizer and what had been knocked out of alignment by the null ray. Been with Inferno and FireBond durin' everythin'. Sure she'll wanna see you by now.
Rewire took her hand from his hip, holding on and stretching to get a cloth without breaking contact. Once he had it he returned her hand to its position at his side. Looking into her optics, his hands moved lightly over his bonded and softly wiped dried energon and grime from her frame. Gotta do a temp patch on your chassis, love. Just till I can fit new plating... I'm so sorry, Raven.

She can't see me yet. Not like this. Her optics shuttered again and she turned her head to the side. A part of her cringed at the touches but a sliver of rationality kept her from pushing his hands away. Don't be sorry. It wasn't your fault. I should have never left.
~*~*~*~
After the sparring match with Optimus, Sideswipe went to the common room and sat heavily on a sofa completely bored out of his mind.
Sunny... I'm boooored...

Rewire stopped and looked closely at Raven. If you're not ready- But you know she needs her mother. He scanned over her frame, pretty sure that most of the damage to her frame had been taken care of. At least he could find some black patching material. Once her frame was clean, to keep any grit out of her internals, the Land Rover wrapped the strong supple lengths across Raven's chassis. Sealed carefully, she didn't look that different; it simply lacked the details of her plating and the evidence of her Earth alt mode.
Now mosta what you need is fuel and recharge. Think you can handle back in quarters, or wanna stay here?

I want to go back to our quarters, please. Let me get settled in a bit and I'll see Twilight before I recharge, ok?
Raven sighed and looked at her chest for a moment before gingerly touching it. My sigil... they took it. came the tired comment.
