Nexus. Over on the 'edge of town'. Fallen

[random_xtras]

Blackout comes online slowly and blinks up at the ceiling/sky, her senses screaming so loudly with pain that she's deaf to anything else. It takes her a moment to remember where she is, but then she recalls picking a fight with the femme Prime and winces.

-Note to self. Don't try to slag things you can't even touch.-

She turns her head with an effort, and is a little surprised to see a few pieces of her shell laying a short distance away from her. Then she notice the puddle that she's laying in and stares at it with morbid fascination.

-I'm slagging bleeding to death.-

She should be upset about that... right? Or someone should be.... She can't remember who, though.

-Tired. That's not good.-

The black femme tries to push herself up, only to discover to her utter shock that one of the bits of her that's laying over there is the arm that she needs to be able to sit up.

She blinks and tries to think of a solution to the problem, but then her head drops back to the beaten and soaked ground.

-Doesn't hurt anymore... not good.-

Her optics shutter.

"I'll vremember that the next time you're slagged und Armorhide doesn't know how to repair it." Liedherz pops out right under Mega-Octane's nose.

Blackout starts, then shutters her optics tightly and starts trying to shut off her pain receptors as it starts to fritz her processor. Any readouts monitoring her spark will show distress.

Mega-Octane moves back slightly, still irritated by her ability to do that. A second later, he's more interested in those readouts, visor narrowed as he hunts through Blackout's damages for the source of the trouble.

"It's pain." Liedherz puts her ears back and holds up a pain override that she nicked from the Autobots' medbay.

And someone letting go of her spark and letting it fend on its own.

Mega-Octane snatches and examines it for a moment, then decides it'll probably work and won't do any harm. He applies it, pausing a second to assess the effect.

Blackout blinks, barely keeping her optics from widening with surprise as the pain vanishes. "What the slag?"

Liedherz twitches her ears. And sticks her nose into Blackout's works again.

"Some kinda painkiller," Movor guesses, not asking how Mega-Octane understands it. That happens sometimes.

Mega-Octane himself is too busy snatching Lieherz away and snarling at her. "I said get away, fleshling!"

Ro-tor just stares at her crossly for ignoring the boss.

Liedherz wrenches herself away and jumps to Movor's shoulder, where she hunkers and ear scowls absently.

"...Painkiller? What kind of sissy Autobot idea is that?"

"Exactly," says Liedherz.

"The kind that lets me repair you without you going into shock," Mega-Octane says shortly. It sounds so much better than 'the kind we ran out of last night when Megatron swiped the last handful'.

Blackout considers, then decides that she can live with that. No one will get the idea that she's weak from this.

Then she frowns and looks around. "Where's Rollbar?"

[namedbyothers.livejournal.com]

"On patrol," Armorhide grunts.

"He's supposed to be coming back," says Movor, watching Blackout in surprise.

"Yeah," the tank-bot pauses to switch tools, "but it's raining out there."

[random_xtras]

She lifts a browplate at his look, but says only, "What has that got to do with it?"

"Good thing I repaired that glitch in the bath." Liedherz has relaxed and is absently combing one arm mane with her fingers.

"Means he'll go the long way round," Movor says.

Armorhide bends back over Blackout. "He likes rain."

"Yeah, sounds like he's gonna need it," Ro-tor says to Liedherz.
