A Prime and (co) Captains

[luckyfaceplate]

Who: Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Rodimus
Where: Red Alert's Clinic
When: After his meeting with Sentinel
What: Optimus has a meeting with Megatron and Rodimus about..recent events.
Warnings: It's co-captain don't forget that please dear god


With Sentinel taken care of, Megatron and Rodimus were his next points of interest. After some questioning, he'd learned of Megatron's location in the medibay, and had asked Rodimus also to meet him there. The main thing? Optimus wants answers. He wants to know what exactly went down.

And that question becomes even more vital with Megatron in the medical bay. No one just threw up a fight with Megatron, 'special' energon or not, and a fear tugs at the back of his mind as he enters. He knows who it is, deep down, but a small...small part of him wishes it wasn't. Bee's little mishap had tipped him off, and his fear when leaving to talk to Cybertron had seemingly come true. Maybe he should have been here to help him...

Things he could worry about later.

Seeing Megatron on the medical bed certainly was...odd. It both seems like just six months ago that he was, getting his body fixed from the events of Dark Cybertron. And yet...no matter how many times it happens, Megatron always seemed too resilient for that.

Hmm.

"Megatron."

All he had to do was wait on Rodimus. But that didn't make this any harder to take.

Aw, Optimus, you always know exactly what to say

Megatron gives him a really? sort of look, but it's clear he appreciates it anyway.

"All right," he says, as though this is up to him. "I sincerely hope he's not worth it."

[rodders]

"No," he says, arms crossed and defiant. You should have expected this, Optimus. You really should have. "She's a member of my crew. He's a Megatron, but he's not our Megatron. Which means that whatever responsibility you think you have to beat his face in doesn't exist."

So there. He's quiet for a moment, and then turns to Megatron because, hey. He's got an idea.

"If I wanted to punch you really, really hard and wanted it to really, really hurt - where would I do it?"

Asking Megatron where to punch himself? Yeah, this is a good day, and Rodimus can't help the smirk that's spreading across his face.

He somewhat did, and it's more a cause for frustration that Optimus really didn't need tacked onto his list of stress. But Rodimus had a point as well. "You're right, I have no say over what you do--but I hope you will cooperate with me, and not leap into action without a plan."

His eyes ease up at Rodimus. "I do not want to see you in the hospital because we are not on the same wavelength."

...

But the subject's changed, and Optimus is willing to give his input. "I've always found the upper abdomen to be a good bet."

Optimus...
