[Open] BONJOUR, AUTOBUMS!
Who: Prime!Scream and you, and privately: Sharkatron, Dadtron and Ratchet.
What: Starscream needs some help reaching the FUCKING BOMB that's on his back bc his stick arms can't reach between his wings. Then he goes to the Autobots to scope things out and get his stab wound patched up.
When: Immediately after the fight with Dreadwing AND BEYOND
Where: Out in the wastes, and then later around the Autobot base camp and clinic.
Warnings: Language. Medical and mild descriptions of robo gore. Starscream.
1. FOR SHARKATRON
It's not as though he has been deliberately avoiding Megatron specifically or anything, but the seeker certainly hasn't been anywhere as clingy towards his leader lately as one might expect... Particularly if you take into account the ferocious loyalty he'd been demonstrating after rejoining the Decepticons, back in their own world.
There are numerous reasons for his cagey behavior, but in the end what it really comes down to is that Starscream hasn't really felt the urgent need to return to his master. Megatron seems to have little interest in keeping him on a short leash currently, there's no active war effort happening on this Cybertron (and from Starscream's timeline the war has been over for a few months anyway)... and what Starscream has felt the urgent need for is to mope about on his own and distance himself from anyone or anything that might have a chance of putting him in contact with Dreadwing.
Well, he's failed that last goal pretty spectacularly. Currently the jet is in the middle of tearing as far away from the bot in question as quickly as he can, praying that Megatronus can hold the muderous ex-con off long enough that by the time the dust settles he won't have any idea where his quarry has gone. As luck would have it, his current trajectory has put him in the right direction towards the one person who might possibly help him. Maybe. If he's feeling generous.
As Starscream approaches, his flight pattern is noticeably wobbly and off kilter, and he practically crashes at Megatron's feet, kicking up debris as he skids to a halt. He scrambles up onto his hands and knees so that the FUCKING BOMB that's latched to his back with armor piercing teeth is clearly visible between his wings when he starts begging. The words come tumbling out of his mouth: "Lord Megatron! Master, please, you must help me!" he bleats pathetically.
2. FOR DAD-TRON
So, one Megatron may have taken care of the bomb, but that doens't solve all of Starscream's problems. There's still the matter of the stab wound in his right wing that Dreadwing so generously provided him with in their last scuffle. It still drips bright blue energon here and there, but the more important issue is that Starscream can't fly properly like this. He can still get airborne, but having a gaping hole in one wing isn't exactly conducive to achieving the speed and agility that the seeker is accustomed to.
It's with great reluctance that he heads back out into the wastes on his own. The Megatron he knows is, after all, not even anything remotely resembling a medic, and would be of little use in this matter even if he was inclined to lend a hand. And Starscream very much doubts that he is.
His caution is at an all time high when he arrives in the general vicinity of the Autobot clinic. Not far from here is where he'd last run into Dreadwing, so the stakes are high and Starscream isn't about to take any chances. As long as he avoids running into Dreadwing again this should be easy, right? He just needs to locate an autobot and look and act pathetic enough for someone to finally have mercy on him and lead him to the right person to patch his wing. Yeah. Easy.
3. FOR RATCHET
Someway, somehow (witchcraft? bribery perhaps?), there's a Starscream in the clinic, and he's waiting to be attended to. Someone has apparently forgotten to put his falconing hood on too because he's fidgeting incessantly in the corner while he eyes up his surroundings with an unpleasant scowl. Rationally he knows that he shouldn't have to feel too nervous, because it's hardly as though anyone has officially and actively set up a faction divide on this Cybertron, but at the same time if anything that makes the whole situation all that more unpredictable.
Ratchet's name had been dropped on his way in here. Starscream can only hope that fate has led him to a different Ratchet than the grumpy, horrible one that he's familiar with, because he hasn't exactly got any juicy information to offer the old geezer in exchange for a medical kit this time.
4. OPEN TO ANYONE
Once all repairs have been made, Starscream will be hanging around the general vicinity of the base camp for a while. Watching. Waiting? But not in an ominous way, because he has no schemes cooking for now. He really should be getting back to Megatron, but frankly he's in an odd place lately, and unusually willing to entertain his curiosity about what kind of set up the Autobots have going here. If he likes what he sees, he may stick around for a while, for safety's sake. Wouldn't that be unfortunate for everyone else?
(PM me if you would like a more specific starter or if you'd like to plot anything. Otherwise go for whatever you want.)

Well. Probably.
Starscream puts a halt to his slinking as soon as he's spotted and blinks up at Megatron like a guilty puppy, making sure to cock his wings askew so that the injured one is visibly poking up at an awkward angle. "Looking for you, actually," he chirps, nervously wringing his hands together. "I find myself in desperate need of assistance..."
no subject
He might be slightly less dubious if this mech hadn't introduced himself as Starscream, but Megatron knows weaselly behaviour when he sees it, and this isn't impressing him much. He can see that Starscream is injured, and he doesn't doubt he's genuinely in trouble, but...
no subject
"Assistance of the medical variety, mostly," he explains, turning back to Megatron with a desperate look on his face. "Rumor has it that you have multiple medics among your number."

This guy is so pathetic that it's seriously tempting to assume he isn't a threat; Megatron has to remind himself that it's still Starscream, and that if he was indeed still Decepticon second-in-command where he came from he has to still be formidable... even if it's hard to see how.
All the same, he is injured...
Megatron sighs.
"Alright," he says, with irritated resignation; the look he gives Starscream is stern. "I hope I don't need to remind you how pointless it would be to try anything stupid."
no subject
He's not actually sure what he means, so he just kind of gestures vaguely at himself and hopes that Megatron will just fill in the gap there with something favorable and not question that statement.

He shuffles hastily ahead of Megatron and glances back over his ridiculous shoulders. "Ah... aren't you the one, who should lead though, since you... know where we are going..."
