Transformers-'verse. Near the mouth of the wormhole. Slapdown on a slimeball.

[random_xtras]

The space near the mouth of the wormhole was silent and empty but for the jet that hovered a safe distance from its mouth. Occasionally a bit of drifting junk would get sucked into it, but nothing else moved.

Then four mechs appeared out of nowhere; two burly black ones, a yellow one with red markings, and a femme that shone blindingly white in the unfiltered light of the sun.

Instantly the jet shifted position, creeping near. //Autobots! What do you want?//

//You,// said the yellow one grimly, folding his arms over his chest. //You've killed your last Autobot, Starscream.//

//And who's going to take me?// The jet's voice was mocking. //You don't even have any who have aerial modes.//

//Oh don't we?// The yellow one gave a clear smirk despite the relative immobility of his face.

And then she decloaked....

He blinks, but then carefully scoops her up and tip toes around the mess as best a guy with feet his size can tip toe. "Let's get you to bed."

She shudders and retches again, but her fuel tanks are empty, so it doesn't really matter anymore.

"...feel like I got shot in the face."

"That might have been your drone. Let me give you a painkiller and I'll start repairing her." //Could someone please bring in Dev's drone? I have to clean up the Workshop.//

//Workshop's clean,// reports Chromia. //Hide's got Dev's drone ready 'n waitin'.//

She nods slowly. "...definitely not the normal order of things," she grunts. "Since when do you fix me?"

"Shhh." He lays her on the bunk and kisses her on the forehead, then puts the painkiller to her shoulder and gives her just enough to block the pain without knocking her out.

Columbia peeks her head around the side of the doorway, surveying the scene with wide-open optics.

"Um..."

It's clear she wants to come in, but is afraid of being a disturbance.

Ratchet turns to smile and hold out a hand. "Come in, sweetheart. Do you want to stay with your mother while I finish her repairs?"

[go-endeavour.livejournal.com]

"Okay." The smaller 'Bot tiptoes into the room, looking around as though there's something scary inside. She walks up to Ratchet and takes his offered hand, hiding her face in his arm.

"What happened?" she asks, looking at her mother, who has since stopped her twitching and is now resting quietly, having lapsed into a recharge cycle.

"There was a fight," says Ratchet gently, scooping his sparkling up and rocking slightly on his feet. "Some of us got damaged, but it's not anything that your Aunt Jeimu and I can't fix."

[go-endeavour.livejournal.com]

"Yeah but Aunty Mu is outside the building. I think she's leaking..." Columbia's vocalizer trembles and she holds onto her father as best as she can.

He winces, then lays her down next to Endeavour and pulls his wife's arms around her and offers her her blanket. "I'll go check on her. You watch Mom, alright?"

[go-endeavour.livejournal.com]

"Okay." Columbia takes the blanket and curls up next to her sleeping mother, shuttering her optics and falling asleep almost instantly.

Ratchet kisses both of them, then turns to go and see what's going on with Jeimu.

She's outside, leaning against the wall of the hangar, and it's obvious that Endeavour wasn't the only being who was feeling ill.
