Truce 'verse. Cureall's apartment. Looking for someone.

[random_xtras]

One moment the corridor outside Cureall's apartment door is empty.

And the next moment there's a swish and a tall, powerfully built human man is raising his hand to knock, his bright blue eyes creased in a deep frown.

The knock stirs up scolding from within, and the sound of small wings swooping about. He waits to see what else it brings.

The door slide open and Cureall looks down to smile at the man. "Oh! Hello dear sir, it has been a while." She takes in his look, a small frown appearing on her mouth. "Is something amiss?"

[random_xtras]

"I'm not sure." He looks back at her. "Is Kigan here?"

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Her optics widen and she shakes her head. When she speaks, it is an octave higher than usual. "No! You mean to say he is not with you?"

[random_xtras]

His frown deepens. "The last time I saw him was when I told him to take some time off a week ago. I've been trying to get hold of him since yesterday."

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Her legs slide out from under her and she falls flat on her metal fanny. "This one has not seen him. I...I...do you know how to find him? Is there anything I can do?"

[random_xtras]

"According to Kigan you were the epitome of motherhood." Charlie smiles slightly, but then frowns. "She found him."

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Cureall sits back up, hissing in slightly. "Where is he? Is he hurt?"

[random_xtras]

He doesn't reply, only steps away from the couch as he talks to the young Traveler mentally.

But then he turns back. "He's at a clinic over on the other side of the endless highway in the Nexus. I can bring you there."

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Cureall nods and rises back up from the couch, her body stiff again. "I see. Please, I would like to go to him."

[kigan-starborn.livejournal.com]

He lifts his brow ridges quizzically, his feelings asking how she hurt him. Then he starts as Charlie clears his throat and looks toward the human man with no sign of recognition.

Charlie keeps himself from frowning. "Does he know you, Cureall?"

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

"He...knows me, but not who I am." She coos softly, continuing to stroke his face. She is just overly sensitive.

[random_xtras]

The frown escapes slightly as he turns and looks at the monitors. "How does he feel?"

Kigan's mouth twitches at the coo and his feelings lighten, but he's not really any more sure on how to use his body yet than he is on exactly who he is.

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

"He's...very confused. He isn't hurting, but he doesn't know how to work himself." She climbs up on the bed and rests next to him carefully.

[random_xtras]

Charlie frowns with sympathy, then looks around and says something about being back before teleporting away.

And Kigan is gazing at Cureall with wonder as he listens to her laughter and likes it.

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

She is still recovering from her laughter when she notices his gaze, smiling at the feel of his emotions.

"I adore you."

[kigan-starborn.livejournal.com]

His expression quivers slightly, but then manages to mirror his feelings, which are asking her a quizzical 'why?'

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

She stares into his blue optics and smiles. "Because you are brave and kind, and you may not even remember me, but you love me back."

[random_xtras]

"We aren't magic, Cureall," rumbles the big man gently. "And there are people of all sorts in the network. Including Transformers."

"Cure... all?" comes a soft, quizzical whisper from beside her.

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

She is about to speak, but then turns to Kigan and smiles. "Yes, Kigan. Do you need something love?"

[kigan-starborn.livejournal.com]

His mouth twitches in the smile that he's not sure how to do yet as his feelings talk to her of love and of his pleasure at having her talking to him again.

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

She smiles back, send assurance that she does still notice him there. She turns her attention back to Charlie for a moment. "This one cannot make this choice lightly. She would like time to consider this, if you would let her. She will no matter the choice, continue to care for Kigan."

[random_xtras]

"I'll do that." The big man nods and vanishes with a swish and slight flash.

A few moments later Kigan starts awake with a spurt of surprise and alarm as a tiny voice scolds vociferously and a small body drapes itself along his side and snuggles slightly.

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

"Chichi! Don't fuss!" Cureall says, lightly tapping the little lizard's rear. Baby Ratchet is also furiously licking and snuggling Chichi to calm her down.

[kigan-starborn.livejournal.com]

Kigan's bewilderment and uncertainty is fairly loud. What is laying on him? What is that little thing sitting on Cureall and making so much noise?

Chichi squeaks with surprise and indignation at the tap, but then notices the look that Kigan is giving her and gives a quizzical little trill as she cuddles her mate and stretches out her nose toward the mech. What's wrong with Daddy? Hey... why does he smell different? Does Baby Ratchet know?

Meatball just sighs happily. He has found his favorite person, who doesn't feel like he usually does, but still sounds kind of the same. He'll celebrate with a nap.

[violet-cure.livejournal.com]

Something is wrong with daddy! But we must be patient and let him rest! Ratchet chirrs worriedly and grooms her some more.

"These are our...pets for lack of a better term. The one sleeping on you is Meatball. The blue one on my shoulder is Baby Ratchet. The smaller female is Chichi."
