[As promised, the world ~~ends~~erupts in explosions here and there and everywhere one random night. Why wouldn't it, right? Sure, this is all fun and games, or is it?]

[It's not quite, not for this little mech the camera has seen fit to track, as is apparent from his screams as he darts behind this piece of rubble and that, trying desperately to get to that broken down building right over thar. Whatever has caused these massive craters around him, it clearly isn't finished, and he's right in the middle of it.]

[He lets loose a last cry as one particularly shiny explosion catches him right near on his aft and makes a wild dive for the ruined entrance - or at least, it might have once been an entrance at one point - and scrambles to get back up from the floor to slam his back against the wall, optics wide with ~~fright~~alarm. He presses a palm to his chest to help steady him because omfg what is going on even this is cray. He could fight back if he could at least see what he'd ticked off, but there's just nothing there! That same hand is lifted and two fingers go to the side of his head]

Master Drift! Slipstream! Please, respond! We are under attack!

[And he has no idea where he is. And please are you alive. This isn't Earth. This looks more like Cybertron. But it's not. Scrap is going down. What happened here what even is going on this is so not Kansas anymore STOP SHOOTING AT HIM]

[Whatever that little drone thing was that was near him, he hopes it... Oh. There it is, right in front of him. He stares at it. His mouth moves to say more. And the feed drops there.]

[That was certainly easier than he thought it would be. The hurt is gone almost immediately, but he hadn't tried to move the joint out of fear it would come back on him. The scorch marks disappeared; the small dent on the side where whatever hit him had met its mark popped out, but it did feel strange, as promised, not painful. There was the tingling, almost like a numbness, and then it was all gone. Done and over.]

[Amazed, he tried the joint, tentatively. No pain, no sparking, no stiffness, and it moved, as cleanly as it ever had before.]

It is repaired! That was astonishing! [And now to put a little weight on it... Yep, it's like nothing ever happened.] Never have I seen anything like this!

[Paian smiles and gives Jetstorm's shoulder a gentle squeeze.]

Glad I could be of help to you.

[Given a few more moments to explore his newly healed knee, he looks up at Paian, optics so wide, then straightens and bows.]

You have my deepest thanks for helping me to recover. How may I repay you for your kindness?

My time and abilities are given freely, Jetstorm, you owe me nothing.

[Now...are you one who can say "thank you" and just accept that, or will you insist on repaying this debt?]

[He may be either. Give him a minute to run that one by himself again. He looks up at Paian, optics bright.]

You are truly honorable, Guardian Paian. If there is ever anything that I may do to help you, please do not hesitate to ask. I will perform for you to the best of my abilities any task you may need.

[Another bow, deeper this time, fist to palm. He means it.]

I’ll certainly not turn down a helping hand around here, but you are not obligated to do so. Look after yourself for now, get past this bit of chaos and find a place to settle, then if you’re interested in volunteering you can come back and see me then, all right?

[That sounds reasonable to him.]

I will do what I can. Is there anything else I should know about this? Will the effects wear off over time?

[He shakes his head.] The healing is permanent and there are no side effects. You didn’t lose too much energon from the injury so you shouldn’t feel weakened either. If you are in need of fuel, though, there’s some offered in the waiting area, just help yourself, it’s easy to come by around here.
