Starting a new

Another Datapad

"well, thanks for getting us out of there." Sideswipe smiles.

"yeah, thanks for handling Crosshairs, uh, sorry I shot you." Reflect frowns, turning to the twin. the mech waves it off snorting.

"no worries. you mostly missed." he snorts.

"only because I pulled your dumb ass out of the way. I told you to com him before you just grabbed him. you're lucky he didn't straight up blow your head off." Sunstreaker grumbles. he looks at Reflect. "you alright? sit down for a minute. you're still looking a little dizzy." he frowns.

"when did you get a spark?" Reflect teases, sitting down.

"Sunny's got a soft spot for sparklings." Sideswipe grins.

"in my defense, most mechs do." Sunstreaker huffs.

"regardless of how others feel, I'm grateful you two are taking this seriously and helping me and Hide keep the sparkling safe. we really appreciate it." Reflect says.

"no problem." Sunstreaker assures.

"oh hey, um, if you guys get to see it, let me know and send it to me. I want to see it too..." Reflect says.

"no problem. we planned to anyway. want you to see a couple of masters at work since we didn't get to finish training you." Sunstreaker smirks. Reflect laughs and shakes his head.

Reflect grabs himself a cube before heading to his room. Ironhide hadn't looked too bad but it did look like a lot of work to put his arm back on, maybe he could read the datapad Wheeljack had given him about carrying. it, hopefully, would have different information than the one Ratchet gave him, and it would keep him from sleeping.

he's just entering the room when he hears a BOOM! he pauses, turns his head towards the sound with a confused look, before remembering and smirking, then heads into the room. the dirty smirk stays on his face until he grabs the datapad, then he sits down.

don't put any real thought into what Optimus said.

actually I'm thinking about it. things have gone down hill since I died. Epps is great and all, don't get me wrong, but he's not the best at advocating for what both sides need. I had humans and Autobots handled. don't think I haven't noticed the run down conditions of the base. it took the humans 2 years to get us the parts we needed to fix the ceiling after I blew a hole in it playing with Sentinels blaster. you guys need someone on the team they'll listen too.

and you think they'll listen to you?

they'll have to, I won't give them a choice Hide. everyone is so worried about who is fighting with the Autobots or against the Autobots. what we need is someone fighting for the Autobots. not with, not against, for.

just stay out of trouble Will, is this whats gotten you so... annoyed at the moment?

nah Hide, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are going after Crosshairs. I almost blew Sideswipes head off on accident when he was trying to keep me out of the crossfire, but in my defense he started the hell out of me and I was worried for the sparkling.

don't worry about it. Sideswipe will be fine.

I know, but they're doing so much to help protect the sparkling its not very nice of me to almost blow his head off when he's really just trying to help.

thats why its called an accident. stay out of trouble and don't do anything stupid while I'm in the medbay.

how can I? you took all the stupid with you.
