*Knock Out couldn’t help getting more and more irritated. It was foolish of him to hope that this Starscream would just play nice and he knew it. It was time for another plan.
Opening his bond, he quickly explained to his mate what the situation was and what his coordinates were. He was close to home so it wouldn’t take his Starscream more than a minute to reach him. Waiting for his mate, Knock Out returned his attention to the seeker in front of him.*
KO: Ok, first - what I said was the truth and you’ll believe it soon enough. Second - even if someone else saw you - you wouldn’t be arrested and trialed for any war crimes here. And third - don’t be foolish and let me patch you up while we wait for your alternate to fly here.
Starscream went silent, still watching KnockOut very carefully. He didn’t trust the red sports car in the slightest, though he was beginning to get alerts about the energon leakage. Apparently it was a bit worse than he thought.
Still….to have KnockOut this close and trust him at his back? Even if this was really some ‘alternate reality’, what was to say that this KnockOut was any different? Nothing was making any sense right now and it was beginning to give Starscream a processor ache.
All he wanted to do was get back to Vos.
“I said, my self-repair can handle it. Go play the good Samaritan somewhere else KnockOut.”
KO: Ugh, you’re so stubborn! Fine then, we’ll wait. Star should be- *Knock Out stopped mid-sentence and looked up, noticing his bondmate has just reached them.
Starscream transformed and landed gracefully on his pedes, wings fanning. His optics quickly found his alternate, who was very obviously not well. His gaze didn’t leave the other seeker when Knock Out spoke to him.*
KO: Oh, thanks the Allspark you finally came. I don’t have enough patience to deal with a distrusting alternate of yours. He won’t even let me fix him! *the red mech then looked at the bleeding Starscream.* Well, believe me now?
