[Accidental Video] Backdating this sucker by at least a week omg

[notyourblueangel]

Okay . . . First-Forged aren't here. How the frag am I not still dead?

[Guess who took enough fireworks to the cockpit to punch through his spark chamber? Same mech who's sitting on his berth looking like he's got the MOTHER OF ALL PROCESSOR ACHES, with worried, chirping robo-firelizards around him.]

Not sure, but must say I'm glad to hear it!

...You up for some company?

[video]

[mercury_gaze]

You died too?

[Guess who's curled up on her bed at home now?]

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

Mnn?

[He looks around, spotting his comm drone.]

Hmn. Yeah, sure. You okay, Wing?

[video]

[notyourblueangel]

If half the fragging city didn't die in that mess, I'd be surprised.

[He huffs in lingering pain and alarm irritation, then realizes who's voice that is. He looks over at his comm drone, his spark sinking slightly at the confirmation. Slag, sparkling, you too? You're too fragging young for this.]

You okay?

Re: [video]

[mercury_gaze]

[No.]

I-I am now. I'm home, with Lea. He's making me something to eat.

Re: [video]

[notyourblueangel]

Hmn, good.

Think I'm going to go stretch my wings. You call if you or Lea need anything, all right?

Re: [Video]

[knight_light]

[He smiles as he heads out.] I'm all right. Made it through that mess with only a few minor injuries.

[His drone follows him out and will fly along with him as Wing takes to the air.]

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

I could use a good flight. Meet you over the Hub?

[He's going to just go ahead and head out too, his firelizards following.]

Re: [video]

[mercury_gaze]

...flying... [There's a longing in her voice in that simple word. She doesn't realize she said it, let alone loud enough to be heard.]

[She nods.] We will. Thank you, Mister Thundercracker.

[Guess who's stupidly happy that you're back, TC. And trying not to show it because tough Decepticon warrior.]

Maybe you're just too stubborn to stay dead.

[You can tell he's fighting back a huge, relieved grin. And only partially succeeding.]

[Video to Action]

[knight_light]

I’ll see you there.

[It’s not too long before Wing is streaking over the Hub, shifting to fly in lazy circles until Thundercracker joins him.]

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

You what?!

[Action]

[notyourblueangel]

[The blue Seeker arrives, his speed somewhat leisurely - mostly so the firelizards can keep up, letting them get some exercise too. They've /all/ been cooped up too long, after all. Finally, he approaches.]

Wing, hey.

[video]

[notyourblueangel]

...you want to fly?

[Did he interpret that right?]

[video]

[notyourblueangel]

[He looks, and there's a warmth in his optics, though his mouth is just quirked in a wry grin.]

Well, the Autobots never succeeded. Can't let a few fireworks do what they never could.

Wing and I are going for a flight. Join us, wingmate?

[video]

[notyourblueangel]

Sam.

Hmn. Died. Fragging explosions got the better of me. No way to anticipate them, since no one was setting the slagged things off. [He rubs his chest, over the cockpit where he took the worst of the damage.] Guess death's still not permanent in Haven...

You? You all right?

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

I---first things first. I'm sorry to hear that, and also very surprised---but happy!---to hear it from you.

I'm alright, and I'll thank you for asking, but I am going to have to ask what the shit is this 'still' because death being anything but permanent is very new news to me.

Re: [video]

[mercury_gaze]

[She peeks back at her drone....and nods.]

It must be wonderful...being in the air....

[One of these days....she’ll be strong enough to fly one of these days.... But she doesn’t want his disbelief again, so she won’t say that this time.]

Re: [video]

[the_other_green_seeker]

[The wry grin is readily returned.]

You need to ask? Where do you want me to meet you?

Re: [Action]

[knight_light]

Thundercracker. It’s good to see you, my friend.

[He lazily dips through the sky closer to the Seeker, lightly tapping his wingtip to Thundercracker’s, and very careful and mindful of where the firelizards are.]

[video]

[notyourblueangel]

Have you heard of the First-Forged who originally founded this place back when?

[He's not avoiding her question. This is to establish where he starts his answer.]

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Mentions, but not a whole lot.

Re: [video]

[notyourblueangel]

[Give him a taste of the power she /does/ possess. He'll reconsider.]

[In the meantime, he's considering something else . . . and finally nods.]

It is, and an experience anyone who wants it deserves.

When you are ready, tell me. I will take you flying.

Re: [video]

[notyourblueangel]

I could have made it a command. [Said with a smirk - he doesn't mean it, of course.] Over the Hub. I'm on my way now.

Re: [Action]

[notyourblueangel]

[The firelizards keep close to TC's fuselage. In fact, Numbers is clung to his canopy and Sky is being silly "flying" upside hugging one of his under-wing rifles. The Seeker taps back.]

And you. Jadewing's joining us too.
