WakeJumper let out a startled squeak as Downrush caught him. Because of how unexpected being caught by his scruffbar was, he was soon curled up in a ball.
--------------
Blue nodded, going to lay down on the other recharge berth. He hadn't realized just how tired he actually was, and as a result, once he got comfortable, before he could say anything, he had drifted off into recharge.
-------
Hm....maybe I should find out... Desinex smirked a little, leaning into Quicksilver a bit, and tracing more meaningless patterns on the mech's armor.
---------
Skywarp chuckled. "Well, you can practice on the training drones for now, at least...or you could always use ol' Starscream for practice..."

Downrush eyed WakeJumper before shifting the youngling in his hand so that the older Aquabot's fingers were wrapped about the smaller body. "Well?
---
Finally, Thundercracker made it out of the washracks and back into the common room, his processor completely stuck on the fact that Starscream was acting nothing more than a sparkling. Growling softly, the blue Seeker slipped back into the common room, his optics roaming over the small collection of mechs and femmes in the room before grabbing a cube of energon.

Chimera's optics twinkled, "Drones! Oh wow! Mommy can I-"
"No, you may not go to the training room yet! You are still to small."
She shot Skywarp a... look.
~*~*~*~
Quicksilver chuckled and shivered at Desinex's touch.
Perhaps you should.

Skywarp balked a little at the look Chimera was giving him. For some reason, it made him feel a bit uneasy. When Thundercracker walked back into the common room, the purple Seeker's optics darted to him. "Hey look, Chimera...it's Thundercracker!" Skywarp pointed frantically at the other Seeker.
------------------
Desinex chuckled a little, continuing her prior actions. Perhaps later...
-------------
WakeJumper blinked a little. "Um...well...usually...there's more than one 'splosion an' stuff..."

Chimera looked around to see Thundercraker and gave him a wide smile. She ran for him and glomped his leg and shouted, "Uncle Cracker!"
Nightstrike sighed and sat down, watching the scene before her.
~*~*~*~
Quicksilver chuckled. I hopt that's a promise.

I know, hun. I know. Cloudburst clung to him, trying to figure out why she was falling apart so badly. But she couldn't break down. Not here. Not in front of everyone, right in the common room.
Just- just hold me up. Until I have time to come around - please?
-------
"I'm insulted," he switched back to his vocalizer to rumble against Raven's audio, softening the issue with wry humor. "You think I have enough glitches in my processors to believe that?" Rewire leaned in and nibbled her jaw.
I'm here, talk to me.
--------
Coming around another corner, Ironhide nearly ran into poor Prowl again in his haste. Fraggitall. Really need to stop beating up that mech. Backpedalling a few steps, he took in the two mechs and one captive, sure of their destination.
"Guess you're the better tracker, Ratch." His expression was torn a moment, but then he shifted it to neutral to address the tactician. Temper over a prank or not, he was not about to attempt weaseling out of consequences. "And I should be coming along with you?"

"Tch. I just got lucky, and Sunny-boy here not so lucky," grumped the Hummer, shifting the Lambo on his shoulder. Prowl nodded to the weapons specialist and made a little gesture for the Topkick to turn around and start walking.

You wanna go recharge? And I'll be here for ya. Doncha worry 'bout that.
Redstar wanted to grab her and hold her tight against his chest and chase away whatever was making her feel this way.
~*~*~*~
As much as Raven loved that rumble and the feel of lips on her jaw, a part of her felt... cold and she could not figure out why.
I wish I could. I don't know what to tell you.

Ironhide grunted. "Apparently." He made a clicking noise with his dental plates and nodded once to Prowl, turning and falling into step with them. Sunstreaker... things.... were going to be done to Sunstreaker. Not sure what. But the weapons specialist was sure that when the timing was right it would come to him.
-------
What - about your father? He got everyone here... But Cloudburst did want to go. She just wanted cool quiet darkness and away from everyone else but Redstar.
-------
Rewire sighed and nudged at Raven's temple with his own. Alright, no pushin', you dun havta talk. We can get to that stretch if you want.

I'm sure he'll understand. If ya don't feel good, ya don't feel good, do ya?
"Dad, Cloudburst's not feelin' too good. You don't mind if I take her back?"
"No, no, of course not!" Red stood and almost waved them along. "I do hope you feel better soon, Cloudburst." He gently patted Cloudburst's arm, trying to offer some sympathy and comfort.
~*~*~*~
Raven nodded, "Thank you."
She transformed and started to drive off, but not at an overly fast pace.

From there, it was fairly routine; go down to the brig, put woozy Sunny into a cell, make sure Lambo couldn't get out of cell, etc. Ratchet had added the extra touch of deactivating the yellow menace's vocalizer, and now wore a rather smug expression.
Now.
The Nissan turned to Ironhide with a pointed look.

Cloudburst murmured something like a 'Yes.' or a 'Thank you.' and nodded. She turned and gently shifted from FireBond, barely a whisper. "Sweetie, I'm going to get some rest." He probably couldn't even hear it, but the little silver sparkling looked like he was practically out anyway.
She gripped Redstar's arm and stood, then moved towards the door.
-------
Rewire transformed and took off after Raven, pulling alongside and gunning his engine, knowing she had more than that in her.
-------
The weapons specialist snorted and shook his helm quickly before resigning himself. He went to the next cell and keyed open the door, then stepped inside. Ironhide turned and crossed his arms in mild annoyance, letting those outside take care of securing the door. "Any ballpark on the length of my sentence?"

"Six - "
"Prowl - "
"Six hours," repeated the cruiser, pinning the CMO with a sharp look. "Sunstreaker has four. If we were to get technical, Ratchet, you would be in there yourself, for getting Sunstreaker. As well deserved as it might have been."
Ratchet glared at the Nissan, crossing his arms. Prowl merely tipped a doorwing, faceplates impassive. Long breems passed before the Hummer threw up his arms in a gesture of 'fraggit, fine' and stalked off, leaving Prowl with a doorwing that wouldn't quite stop flicking in equal parts amusement and resignation.

Raven chuckled.
And just what do you think you are doing?
She revved her own engine in reply.
~*~*~*~
Redstar wrapped his arm around Cloudburst's waist, offering support if she needed it and ushered her out into the hall. Once there, he scooped her into his arms, settling her against his chest.
I've gotcha. I'll be strong for ya. You've dun it fer me too much lately. It's my turn now.
~*~*~*~
Blizzard's head finally stopped spinning, but she still felt ill. She pushed that aside and eventually wandered back out into the medbay.

Ironhide couldn't help but be amused when Ratchet tried to argue down his time. That and watching him get all frustrated was fun. The TopKick rolled his shoulders. While boring as watching primer dry, six hours was doable.
"Fair enough, Prowl."
------
Rewire pulled ahead then banked sharply away from the Aston Martin. He let the amused snort carry through the comm. Pointin' out that you're playin' down to me. Dun need your sympathy.
-------
The helicopter pressed her forehead to Redstar's neck, one arm looping his shoulder and clinging to plating. I love you, I'm sorry, I- I don't know what... She shook and curled to his chest, reaching for his steady presence in their bond.

Have to go easy on you old timers.
Raven followed Rewire for a moment before gunning it and shooting ahead of him, laughing over the comm.
~*~*~*~
Redstar held tight to his bonded and whispered reassurances to her through their bond.
Shh. There's nuthin' to be sorry fer. I love ya too.
Soon they were in their quarters. Redstar lay Cloudburst on the bed and lay next to her, still holding her tightly.
