dVerse; Rec room; Papa Jazz knows best

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

It was at one of those rare moments of rest and reprieve from caring for Cali (and Bee, and Psych) that Gen found herself playing with the settings on her PINpoint. Carefully, of course. There wasn't really that much on there. Just the coordinates to Nellis Base, the Nexus, and... well, that's new.

It must've been some place Psych had been; he could've easily put the coodinates into her PIN. Brushing her thumb gently across the button, a sudden noise behind her causes her to press the teleport button, activating the device and warping her off to who knows where...

There's a startled sound as she comes out in a large, drab-walled room that holds couches, a huge TV, and some game tables. Over in a corner by an array of data chips a blue and yellow Autobot about the same size as she is stares at her with alarm. "Who are you? How did you get *cough* in here?"

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

Gen stares back at him with wide optics. "I-i-i, I, I, I..."

Needless to say, this has come as a bit of a shock to her.

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

He frowns and sets down the datapad he'd been using, then gets up to approach her warily. "Did you just get to Earth?"

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

Good news, she's not stuttering anymore. Bad news? She's not making a sound, though she's working her mouth like she's trying to.

Her thumb doesn't seem to be obeying her mental command to activate the PINpoint agian.

Huffer steps back with dismay, but at that moment a tiny purple hand touches Gen's leg, and two small blue optics turn up toward her face as Bit looks at her solemnly before giving her a hug and a serious little patpat.

"It's alright." Elita looks around as a bustle comes into the room, accompanied by excited squeaking and giggling.

"Gen?" asks Jazz's deep voice. "What you doin' here, baby girl?"

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

Gen looks up sharply at the sound of his voice. "Jazz! I-I was l-looking at my PINpoint, a-and I saw these coordinates, and I wasn't going to activate it, b-but there was a noise, a-and I got teleported here."

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

"Shhh." He takes her from Elita and hugs her, Bit, Bumblebee, and all. "It's okay, baby girl. Take a deep breath."

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

Gen does take a deep breath. And another one... and another one.

Finally she calms down enough to relax into the hug a little bit. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset anyone."

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

"Who ya leave her with?" He lets her go and rubs Bumblebee's back.

Bit squirms just a little, then gravely gives her a little kiss on the cheek and another patpat.

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

"Psych's watching her. He told me to take a break, but I really should be getting back."

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

"Here. Come walkin' with me a little bit."

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

"But I... okay..."

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

A soft chuckle as he turns and watches her closely. "He's fine, baby girl. Just well on his way ta bein' a married mech."

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

For a split second, Gen's face falls before she schools it into a (sad) smile. "Oh. Well, um, good for him."

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

"Gen, when Bumble fell off that table 'n scared Dready, you felt it."

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

Wait for it... It's sinking in, just wait for it...

Her mouth forms an "oh". "How did...?"

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

You're the one that's feelin' him." He takes the bottle from Bumblebee and sets her to his shoulder to gently work the air bubbles out of her fuel lines.

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

"But... I..."

Something smells like it's starting to overheat in her processor.

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

Jazz sighs and reaches over to rub her back as Bit once more patpats her. "Deep breath, baby girl."

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

Gen wimpers lightly and leans into Jazz's touch. Her whole demeanor is saying, "I'm confused and in need of comfort. Give hugs, please."

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

"That's up ta you'n Dready," he says gently as Bumblebee squeaks at her and Bit watches a vulture go over. "But there's no way of breakin' that kinda bond."

[silenceandpsych.livejournal.com]

Gen sighs and looks down at her feet. "I think... I need some time to think about this."

[slag-megs.livejournal.com]

Jazz nods and gives her a gentle kiss on the forehead, then stands and hold out an arm for Bit.

After returning Bit to Jazz, Gen PINpoints back to her adopted home reality.
