Broken Circuit |{Reader x TFP Soundwave}|

~Ｍｉｓｓｉｎｇ Ｐａｔｉｅｎｔ~

You were awake now, and you weren't planning on going back into stasis or recharge just yet. Surprisingly, you weren't attached to any machines. As a fellow practician yourself, this stunned you a bit. Usually after an operation, whether it's life threatening or just a simple repair of some sorts, doctors would hook patients on an energon drip of source (just to get any lost energon back into the body).

'Shows how much they care,' you angrily thought as you sat up easily. You swung your legs to the side of the bed and got off the bed. You flawlessly stood up but unfortunately couldn't say the same thing when you tried walking. Turns out being in a more prolonged stasis caused some repercussions to your pedes. The first two steps caused you a lot of wobbling, and you barely managed to catch yourself on a nearby desk before falling over. But after that, you were fine and walked with ease. This wasn't any worry to you, some bots tended to have problems with limbs after stasis while others didn't. You were just unlucky.

You totally expected to be caught by Knock Out or maybe even Breakdown on your way out the door, but that did not happen. They must've been in the back helping somebot or maybe they left early today. You practically waltzed (to the best of your ability at the moment) out the door and down into the hallway. You were going straight to your quarters, nothing and no bot could convince you otherwise.

As time would have it a few minutes after you left, Soundwave entered into the med bay. Knock Out came out of the back to see who had entered.

"Ahh Soundwave, how can I help you? I was just finishing up for the night," he spoke in his usually tone of voice.

"I am here to check on the injured Vehicon soldiers."

"You never do that. What's the reason? Is one of them important to you or something?"

"No, lord Megatron's orders. We need to know the helm count of our remaining troops. Now, can you show me to them?"

"Hmmm, whatever you say. It's your world, I just live in it."

And with that Knock Out gave Soundwave a little "tour" around the med bay. He showed him where most of the injured soldiers from missions were. Soundwave took note of all of them while walking around the room. He looked at their conditions, statuses, etc. After a few minutes, he was done.

"This isn't all. We are missing some bot. Where are they?" Soundwave questioned Knock Out.

"Oh yea, ____ is over there behind that curtain. How did you know that there was some bot missing?" Knock Out asked, but Soundwave was gone. He used his slender fingers to pull open the curtains, revealing an empty medical birth to the world.

"Where is she? Did you give her clearance already?"

"N-no she must've left on her own! But I didn't even hear the front doors open. Maybe this is the wrong section, I get confused sometimes. Over here, maybe it's this curtain." Both Knock Out and Soundwave checked multiple possible locations to where you could be laying, but their efforts were futile.

"Where is she Knock Out? Did you lose a patient? I have to report this mishap and-"

"NO, I did not lose a patient. She just slipped away. I mean, isn't she also a medic? She just uh gave herself medical clearance that's all. Bu-but don't fret, she's definitely somewhere onboard this ship, maybe we could find her together! She's probably getting energon right now, so we could check there!"

Soundwave took a few seconds to consider if he should report this or allow Knock Out to fix his mistake.

"Ok."
