insert one arm joke here
Who: First Aid and U
Where: Red Alert's clinic
When: Post-Pharma cutting off his arm
What: wow the medics are gimpier than the rest of you guys
Warnings: mild robot gore, a sad cinnamon bun
[ Closed to Ratchet ]
Leaving his arm behind was the last of First Aid's problems. His run in with Pharma left him a bit more damaged up mentally -- and physically -- than he'd care to admit to himself. At the very least, he hadn't lost a wheel, something he was grateful for as he speeds off. Parts of his altmode still dragged as he drove through the city, uneven from the loss of a limb, leaving a trail of sparks and energon puddles behind him.
He had nowhere to go except away from the clinic, no ability to comm someone else to locate him. Eventually, he stops, ducking into a half collapsed building, and weeps privately. Seeing Pharma again brought back the rush of emotions he felt after killing him, making him feel drained for more reasons than the loss of energon.
Well, he's a rightful pathetic scene.
First Aid vents raggedly as he reaches up and brushes his fingers over the shredded joint where his arm used to be. He hisses in pain, pinching at a few ragged lines and clamping them closed, before he starts the arduous task of welding broken parts together. It might make the reattachment harder in the long run, but he'd be bleeding less.
It's a few hours before First Aid returns to the clinic, faint and tired, dirty with grit and sticky with drying energon. Even longer he waits outside, making sure that Pharma had left the premises long enough for him to slip back inside. He's tired-- he really wants to sleep, but he knows well enough that it's pain and energon loss, so instead he drags himself into the main clinic, clutching his shoulder.
"Ratchet?" he asks, trying not to be too loud so he doesn't wake the other patients.

Having only one arm proved to be difficult in accomplishing anything useful. It was a significant blow to First Aid's self esteem, and sometimes he spent ages just staring down at his work, feeling helpless. He couldn't lift with ease, but he could clean as much as he's able with one hand and take care of basic maintenance tasks, such as changing fluids and updating charts. Nurse work. He felt so humiliated.
First Aid touches the stump where his arm used to be, rubbing it thoughtfully. Sometimes he thought he could feel it still. Not really uncommon-- it was a psychological phenomena. Sighing, he drops his hand and begins piling charts, looking over each carefully to make sure that he hadn't missed any details. They didn't have a sophisticated database here, so it was important to keep manual records at the very least.
He picks them up holding them delicately in his hand and attempting to balance them against his chest, but they just end up slipping out of his hand and clattering to the floor.
"Oh--" he makes a soft sound. "Slag."

She's tiny. First Aid isn't sure how long he stares, but when he shakes himself out of it, that's the first thing he notices. His only experience with humans were what he saw in movies and holomatters. Seeing a real human -- what he thinks is a human -- is a whole different experience.
"Hello," he says then looks down at the scattered patients' charts. "Usually I'm the one asking that. I think I have this though. I just need to not try and overdo it."
no subject
"Is it a requirement for Cybertronian medics to be missing limbs?" she asks, blatantly looking at the area where his arm should be. And hey, if he doesn't try to stop her she will attempt to help and she's actually taller then a human should be.
Kind of closer to minibot sized, really.
no subject
To be fair, he's never seen a human in the flesh before to tell him he's wrong in assuming. She looks like a human well enough.
First Aid raises his hand to the vacant stump of his shoulder awkwardly, brushing his fingers against it.
"My arm will be reattached once it's recovered."
no subject
"Does the Cybertronian require assistance in retrieving the missing limb?" she asks, pretty much offering in her own weird way to help with that too.
no subject
"That's kind of you. It's probably too dangerous though, if I think who has it has it. I don't even know your name."
no subject
"This Unit is made for combat, it sees no reason to state 'danger' as a valid reason for not retrieving the Cybertronian's limb." She's not lying, not that she'd be able to, even though she doesn't look like it Miria is a fighter.
no subject
"My arm's not a big deal. I'm not entirely against revenge, but I'm... tired. I don't want anyone more to get hurt. I'm sure you can handle yourself, but that's not the point."
He vents softly, then offers his hand to her.
"You'd be more help assisting me around the medibay so I can get some work done."
no subject
"This Unit made no mention of revenge," she responds, before just sort of giving his offered hand a blank stare.
"From a strategic stand point returning all units to full function is more helpful than placing a unit that is not compatible with repair functions in situation that requires those skills."
Miria is well aware of her limits, and those are 'patching people up'. Sorry First Aid.
