Nexus; Arcee's apartment. Bearing the weight of bad news.

((The SP-X Nexus thread may go another tag or two. Starting this here as the inevitable in the meantime.))


Seeking shelter from all the noise and hustle of the Nexus, Prowl finally finds his way to what he believes is the entrance to Arcee's apartment. Taking the key Ratchet gave him from a hidden compartment, he crouches on the ramp in front of the garage-style door for a moment, wondering if there's anyone home or not and if he'll be intruding. Still...he's not ready to return to Detroit. His thoughts are jumbled and the noise closer to the sign is making it harder for him to regain his composure. Keeping his wounded right hand closer to his chassis, Prowl uses the key to get the door unlocked before opening it, putting the key away after. He slips inside without even raising the door all the way, silent as a shadow before pulling the door shut after.

She winces and clenches her jaw for a moment, hating the weakness that's holding her down. "Wish I could go with you. He'll... he'll need someone to keep him...."

Her forehead sinks down to settle on her knee as her systems finally cease arguing with her processor and just shut down.

Prowl is tempted to gather Arcee in his arms and take her right along with him...but he doesn't see the move as an all around wise one for the time being. Instead, he sighs and takes a few more minutes to center himself before taking his leave, slipping back outside again with as little sound as possible.

He'll PINpoint home once he finishes up one more bit of business in the Nexus. Ratchet will want his own device back and given the current circumstances, it might not be a bad idea for Prowl to find and take a few pare devices for himself and the other three Autobots without.
