Who: Prowl & YOU?
Where: Somewhere in the city
When: A day or so after giving Verity a concussion
What: Prowl has a few robot papercuts and bruises to patch up; he also searches the fuck out of Verity's apartment
Warnings: Asshole ahoy, and some self repair

A.
With relatively minor injuries, there was nothing stopping Prowl from continuing his pursuit of the Aequitas data once Verity had escaped and he was left alone. No repurposed debris or improvised lock was left unturned as he searched her apartment via holoform. Being able to Sherlock-sense his way through a room certainly helped narrow it down, but in the end his search was unfruitful.

All he'd pulled from the impromptu home were data slugs - ones that were quickly discovered to be dummies once he ran a scan of them through his systems. Leaving nearly everything as it was, nearly everything, he shifts back into vehicle mode and abandons the building. 

A dead end.

B.

Eventually, Prowl allows himself a moment of reprise in a blasted out building he'd found for himself. Not the most glamorous of locations, but functional for what he needed. Somewhere to sit, be alone and tend to himself. 

Prowl's wounds were minor enough that any Autobot with basic knowledge of first aid could repair them. His tools were rudimentary, but functional enough to realign some of the actuators that had been popped out of place. The pain was dull as he picked into the transformation joints of his ankle with a pair of large pliers, feeling them snap back into their anchors with a little persuasion.  

Satisfied, he slides away his shoulder armor to begin to dig into his shoulder joint, unbothered by the small amount of energon still seeping out of broken lines. That should heal well enough on its own.

"What is it, then?" Ratchet asks as he finished Prowl's immediate injuries and reaches in to cup his chin, steadying his head. His free hand settles on the top of Prowl's helm, weirdly gentle, but his optics are cool, dispassionate and calm as he looks down into Prowl's face and starts a brain scan, gaze narrowing thoughtfully.

"Former, huh? Wha'd you do?"

He's teasing, really. The little smirk on his face says as much. Honestly, he has no reason to doubt what Prowl says. Not now, anyway.

He hangs around, even when Prowl goes back to work, hunkering down on his heels. Just in case.

"You sure? I can grab you some stuff to patch it up better if you want it."

The reply certainly makes Optimus stop, his hands going rigid at the statement, merely hovering but still backing off. Cold eyes met Optimus's hurt ones, wishing there was something he COULD do. Not for the injuries, his mother-henning was a distraction. But more that Prowl was now trapped in the war even after it had ended.

The one who wanted nothing to do with it now had it consume his life.

And Optimus only stood by and watched.

"But she WAS given it, Prowl. Something you might not have known, or anticipated, but it happened. And taking it from her is not going to work."

Ratchet finishes and carefully lifts his hands away from Prowl's plating to start examining the data, mouth pulling into a slight frown.

"Well?" he asks, his optics flicking back up at Prowl before he tilts his chin a little, considering. "Is it that strange to think somebody else would give a damn about your problems and try to help if they could?"

Ratchet settles his hands back onto his crutches and takes a half-step back, his expression extremely bland as he watches Prowl fume.

"Don't sit there and tell me I don't know about hard choices," he says mildly, Prowl's anger washing over him like a hot wind and leaving him unruffled. "Or dirty ones, ones that mean that good mechs die. Or about working until it breaks you. I just broke where everybody could see." He shrugs into his crutches, his optics flickering slightly.

"I don't agree with a lot of things you did, and in my opinion you have a lot to answer for in unintended consequences, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate what you were trying to do." His mouth twists slightly. "Or that I'm under the assumption that you give half a damn about my opinion. But it also doesn't mean that I won't treat you, no matter how mad at you I might be. ...or that I hate you. Or that I think you should be left to handle everything by yourself."

She would like to make it known that her mucking around in his business has never been unwarrented by sane standards. Arcee shrugs, optics flickering from his face up towards the crumbling roof of the building.

"I hear things," she says. She doesn't know exactly, but she knows Prowl. "You want it. You only want things when you think you can do something with it better than someone else."

"I'm not taking pity on you," Ratchet says, a little irritably. "And I think what you are is a mech with a serious brain injury, so in that capacity, yeah, you are. You can continue to argue while you're bleeding from the nose, if you like."

Once Prowl stops, Bee swings around in front of him. He also changes forms. Bumblebee has to look up to him now, but that's never really bothered him. He shakes his head at Prowl's words, making sure Prowl notices that Bee is giving the other a once over. Yes, he sees those injuries and he scoffs.

It's as if to say 'that's not under control.' However, Bee doesn't say it. He doesn't actually need to and, frankly speaking, that's not really his point anyway. Prowl is just going to do what he's always done.

"There's really no need about it. You're my friend and friends have this thing where they worry about the people that they care about. I know it's a hard concept for you to grasp, but you're stuck with it either way," he says instead. "Besides... You're kind of one of the only ones I've got. I'd kind of like to keep you around."

Ratchet watches that telling knee-jerk motion impassively.

"It says... that your brain scan is radically different than the last one I took, mostly." He cycles his vents in a frustrated sigh. "Which I could have told you by looking at you, pretty much. Other than that, I meant it when I said this wasn't my specialty. I'll have to do whatever research I can on this rock, and consult. But I'll figure something out." His mouth twists up at a corner, wry and ironic and not altogether pleasant.

"I always do."

"What? No, I'm not looking for a ride." June frowns to herself, brow furrowed as she catches up to him, the heavy steps of her power armor still a little uneven. "And I certainly don't need one. Is your name Prowl?"
