I love it when a design comes together!
A sense of time running out nags at Starscream; "To the Pit with it!" he snarls to himself, and ignites his afterburners. He arrives considerably ahead of his original ETA.
Touching down at Autobot City, Starscream is still amused at just being 'waved in' by Metroplex, though the irony is less bitter now. I'm not even doing this for the sake of my fellow Decepticons or Rodimus Prime anymore; they went and got themselves fixed. I'm doing this because Skyfire and Ratchet asked me to. To help Autobots who were either my enemies or I don't even know. And yet... I don't mind. I rather like the challenge.
What's happened to me?
Starscream finds his way to MedBay--the route is getting quite familiar, and lets himself in. Sorry, Ratchet, you're not good enough to keep your codes from me, and you didn't change them each time. Much to his surprise, the Medbay is virtually deserted.
He finally notices Skyfire quietly keeping watch in Jetstorm's IsoWard, holding the recharging jet and Auspex. Gentle blue optics look serenely into Starscream's.
// Shhh, don't disturb them. Jetstorm was in a bad way, and Auspex is way overdue for recharge. I think I badgered her into it as a way to comfort Jetstorm, // radios Skyfire.
Starscream smiles. If Auspex were awake, she might sense his triumphant satisfaction, and a certain calm acceptance underneath--if she could sense it past the deep, fierce love for Skyfire.
// Rest yourself, Sky. I'll keep watch; I've got it figured out now, it was in my old files in the lab, and I'll be working here. Recharge; you've been busy. // As he heads for his console and starts re-arranging the panels to suit him, he glances at Skyfire again.
// I'm glad you didn't stay with the Decepticons for my sake. //
