randomplaces | Kickback's reality. Insecticon base. Meeting the family.

*Bombshell just falls off his chair as his CPU crashes...a change of whirr in systems symbolises a reboot*

Katydid squeaks with surprise and back peddles, then looks up at Kickback with wide optics as she wonders how his adopting her could be that disturbing.

*Kickback started to laugh* Oh 'shell you never change. *he gave katydid a reassuring pat of the shoulder as he went to help Bombshell up after he'd finished his re-boot* I know you don't think I'm the family type, but honestly...she's not going to wind up being another me.

*Bombshell just groaned* You're evil; you know that right? *the scientist spoke rubbing his head as the youngest of his team helped him up* I would hope you're responsible enough; then again knowing you. It's probably a good thing that you have us.

*he chuckled a little* I would hope not!

Katydid brightens as she watches the exchange, her antennae twitching as she smiles again. She's not going to say anything yet, though.

*Kickback laughed* Yup always have always will. *he grinned* I'm responsible! ...yeah well. Hold on. You mean? *he looks hopeful*

*Bombshell just rolled his optics* Trust you.

*he sighed noting Kickback's hopeful look* You're really attached aren't you? *he sighs* Well I don't have a problem with her staying; but Shrapnel's decision is final.

Katydid's own face has resumed the wide-eyed pleading expression that she once used against Kickback when she was just tiny.

*Kickback nods; and quietly mutters* Yeah. Yeah I am.

*he smiles* Thanks 'shell *and gives him a hug*

*Bombshell just sighs* Kickback... *he shakes his head and then his hugged* oof! You're welcome.

*he notices Katydid's look...and compares it idly to the one Kickback gives when he doesn't get what he wants. Yup this'll be a new experiance for all of them*

*This would be about the time when Shrapnel walks in. The insecticon leader looks between the hugging Kickback back and the hugged Bombshell*

Something I should be aware of, of? *he asks curious. Looking around the room he notices the pink femme*

And who's this; this?

"Kickback's sparkling," she says promptly, giving him the big optics.

Adopted *Kickback adds quickly. He didn't want Shrapnel to think he'd been up to things he shouldn't* Can we keep her...pllllleeeeeaaaaasssseee? *Kickback does his own kicked puppy look*

*Bombshell just sighs* Well it might teach him some level of maturity Shrapnel... *he adds his two bits in*

*Shrapnel just blinks* Kickback why did you adopt a sparkling; sparkling? *he asks after a few moments*

*he looks over to Bombshell and nods thoughtfully* Hmm.

*then he looks to Katydid* Do you have a function; function?

"Um, not yet," she admits, looking a bit upset about that. Too young for Academy, indeed.

*Kickback shrugs* She adopted me; I thought it was only fair to return the favour.

*he looks over to Shrapnel hopeful*

*Shrapnel sighs* You're still young Kickback; back.

*He nods a little pleased at this* Do you have any idea what you'd want to be; be?

"Just like him," is the prompt reply.

*Kickback pouts* I'm not THAT young.

*At hearing that Kickback nearly chokes* Do you know what I do? *he asks carefully; hoping she decides to do anything but.*

*Shrapnel just smirkes* Yes you are; are.

*Shrapnel blinks in surprise* I doubt that carear path is something you'd like to follow; follow.

"No?" she says uncertainly.

*Kickback sighs* i don't do a lot of nice things. I have to hurt people in order to compleate a mission. I'm kinda in special opps. Do you understand that?

*Shrapnel nods* Not the kind of work for a youngling; youngling.

"Oh," she says, crestfallen.
