crush all humanz: *stalks to Arcee's room and bangs on the door* BUBBLEGUM, STOP YER ERRORIN'!
pinkbikerbot07: *door rattles as something explodes against it * //ERROR

crush all humanz: .....*sighs* DON'T MAKE ME TAKE THE DOOR DOWN MYSELF.

crush all humanz: I WILL.
pinkbikerbot07: .....//ERROR *another explosion *

crush all humanz: *growls now and grabs the door, sliding his claws into the grooves and yoink!*

crush all humanz: *oh look the door is open now. how convenient.*
pinkbikerbot07: *trashing the room *

crush all humanz: *goes over to her and grabs her by the shoulders* STOP. NOW.
pinkbikerbot07: *stares at him, not really recognizing him, still hasn't been to medbay for icky Nemesis leftovers, eep!*

crush all humanz: DON'T MAKE ME K.O. YOU JUST SO YOU'LL STOP THROWING A TANTRUM.
pinkbikerbot07: *growls, jerks away * Why is it that there's ALWAYS SOMEONE MISSING?

crush all humanz: *deadpan* BECAUSE IT'S THURSDAY.

crush all humanz: *crosses his arms*
pinkbikerbot07: Thursday? That’s the day to go missing? *heaving *

crush all humanz: ACCORDING TO STATISTICS, YES.

crush all humanz: CALM DOWN.

crush all humanz: TRASHING YOUR ROOM ISN'T GOING TO HELP GET ANYONE BACK AND YOU KNOW IT.
pinkbikerbot07: I can't calm down. Elita's gone, BARRICADE IS GONE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN? *GLARE * //ERROR

crush all humanz: *sighs and whaps her upside the head violently*
pinkbikerbot07: *hisses, then leaps and throws all of her weight at him, tackling him to the ground *

crush all humanz: *lets her, claws grabbing at her shoulders and digging in to scrape against wires - just enough to show he can do a lot at this particular spot - then rolls and pins her easily*

crush all humanz: *hisses with a growl in his voice* I'M BIGGER THAN YOU, PINKIE.

pinkbikerbot07: I'm faster than you. *hissing ANGRILY at that statement, completely flipping out at this point, mean ol Crusher doesn't know what he's doing to her!, squirming her way out from underneath him, flipping herself and landing on his back and pointing her crossbow at the back of his head * Don't ever fucking say that to me again. Ever.

crush all humanz: .........

crush all humanz: *steadily, looking at the ground* WHAT THE SLAG HAPPENED TO YOU, ARCEE?
pinkbikerbot07: *keeping the bow level, pressing it harder against him * Nemesis.

crush all humanz: *growls and twists his neck to look at her evenly* AND HE GOT YOU SO SLAGGED YOU'D BACKSTAB ME?
pinkbikerbot07: *grips the weapon tighter in her hand, staring down at him, hard, for a loooooooooooooooong moment * No. *relents, and backs off, standing up * Sorry.

crush all humanz: *snorts* NO YER NOT. *rolls to his back, looking up at her lazily* THAT WASN'T MUCH OF A FIGHT.
pinkbikerbot07: *lifts a brow.* Did you want to actually fight?

crush all humanz: *shrugs, pushing himself up onto his elbows* NOT PARTICULARLY, BUT YOU SURE AS SLAG SEEM LIKE Y'NEEDED ONE.
pinkbikerbot07: Hmm. Maybe you're right. *Okay, so she couldn't beat Nemesis, but she was -relatively- sure Crusher wouldn't kill her. So, repounce!*

crush all humanz: *grins at that and arches, shoving himself off the ground and twisting, claws grabbing at her back and prying her off, throwing her towards a wall* MUCH MORE LIKE IT. *hunkers down in a defensive position - yeah, relative is a relative term.*
pinkbikerbot07: *rolls as she's thrown, narrowly missing a table filled with Cade's crap, he'd be pissed if she knocked it over- wait, that's right, he was one of the ones missing! Howling, she threw herself back at him, her speed and agility making up for considerable lack of strength, attempting to get around his midsection and slam him into the wall behind him *

crush all humanz: *stumbles back a bit, before growling and digging his claws in, scraping wires and spinning to slam her against the wall* SPEED IS FINE, BUT BRUTE FORCE WINS OUT MOST OF THE TIME. *smirks* AREN'T YOU ANGRY?
pinkbikerbot07: *slams against the wall with a grunt, then wraps her legs around him and slouches a bit, slamming a fist into his midsection, ignoring his mockery *

crush all humanz: *grunts at that and steps back a little, grabbing her at the back of the neck and squeezing* I DIDN'T KNOW YOU FELT THAT WAY, *smirk* PINKIE.

pinkbikerbot07: You're the one who hasn't moved me. *...then growls, flipping out again, swinging wildly at his head, attacking every inch of him she can, hands reaching for and grabbing onto fuel lines, important wiring, circuits, etc, all in a frenzy to kill HIM- not so much Crusher, but the one who gave her that horrible nickname *

crush all humanz: *yelps as she grabs some rather important insides, claws twitching instinctively against her neck* COME ON, BUBBLEGUM, YOU CAN DO BETTER - *his other hand reaches up and grabs at one wrist, jerking it out of him even if it cuts a few wires, turning sharply on one foot and using that arm to fling her off him*
pinkbikerbot07: *it surely did cut wires, her hands were wound pretty tightly around some rather important things, and as he attempted to fling her off, she grabbed the hand that held her, WRENCHING it as she was thrown *

crush all humanz: *howls and shakes his hand wildly, instincts kicking in and his mine scoop arching into offensive mode, lashing out at her chest*
pinkbikerbot07: *she heard it before she saw it really, twisting out of the way barely in time, though it did hit her shoulder, upper arm, etc. She didn't let go of the arm, still in her own flipout-mode, continuing to twist it, then attempting to knock his feet from under him *

crush all humanz: *growls and swings his scoop back at her, broadside slamming against her* LET GO!
pinkbikerbot07: *grunts in frustration, she hated being not as strong as the others, speed could only make up for so much, and it clearly showed as she was hit, involuntarily releasing his arm, still kicking out at his feet, trying to knock him to the ground *

crush all humanz: *his legs might not be the bulkiest part of them but he's good at keeping balance, one leg sliding forward and half-hooking over one of hers, throwing his weight forward to shove her backwards - he's half-expecting the leg-twining to get her on the slagging ground*
pinkbikerbot07: *she stumbled backwards, her legs all wound up in his, then promptly fell to the ground her back slamming hard against the ground with a thud and an oof *

crush all humanz: *grins and kneels down, bringing his knees down on either side of her, loooooming* WHAZZAMATTER. DID THE GROUND HURT? *grins wickedly and shoves his claws against her shoulders*
pinkbikerbot07: *stares up at him with a hateful little glare, yeah it DID hurt but no way was she spilling THAT information, she opted instead to headbutt him *

crush all humanz: *grunts a bit and shifts his weight, slamming her shoulders back down against the ground* THAT'S NOT HOW YOU SHOULD USE YER HEAD. YER NOT MADE FOR MELEE, ARE YOU?

crush all humanz: MADE FER SITTIN' AROUND DOIN' NOTHIN', HMM?
pinkbikerbot07: *growls at him * No. *wraps legs around him again and bucks, not strong enough to throw him anywhere, but hopefully enough to shove him off of her and pin him *

crush all humanz: *grins ferally and hisses* AH, POOR LITTLE FEMME. *shifts a bit* YOU PREFER TOPPIN', HUH? *reaches a hand up and backhands her across the face*
pinkbikerbot07: *she snarled at him as she was hit, then winds up and slams a fist into his face * So what if I do?

crush all humanz: *reels back a bit, snarling at her - his scoop lunges forward at breakneck speed, stopping barely a centimeter from her neck* IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT FEMMES STAY DOWN. *sneer* YER TOO WEAK TO TOP.
pinkbikerbot07: *oh fuck that, reaches up and grabs the scoop thing, wrenching it as hard as she could, like she did his arm. She's not as strong as him, but she's still a big damn robot and can pack a hearty punch!*

crush all humanz: *yelps a little undignified-ly and jerks the scoop back, wincing and all out socking her in the face. THAT'S A SENSITIVE INSTRUMENT DAMN IT O<*
pinkbikerbot07: *jerks back at the hit, grinning maliciously, now she at least knows one weakness, diving for it again and attempting to bend, twist, grip, pull, yank, whatever possible to cause the most pain possible. Sadist.*

crush all humanz: *lets go of her shoulder, deciding to instead claw at her chest - at the very least he could just get in under the armor, leaving deep gashes across it - his other hand uncurls from a fist and, surprisingly easily, swipes gently down her face, stopping juuust under her optics, claws ttly ready to just get in them* SO, YOU FOUND A WEAKNESS. *patronizingly* GOOD FOR YOU, PINKIE. HOW ABOUT YOU SHOW ME SOME OF YOURS?

pinkbikerbot07: *she ignored the gashes in her chest, staring down at him, unmasked hatred in her eyes for that fucking nickname again. Again, ignoring his claws in her face, she leaned down, hovering over his face, inches from his own * You wanna know my weakness? *trailing a finger down his chest, then reaching in and gripping the edges of the plating there * Whenever Nemesis was doing his absolute WORST, he called me Pinkie. *rrrrrrrrrrips up on the plating *

crush all humanz: *howls at that, arms jerking a bit back and gripping at her arms - ow ow ow-*

crush all humanz: *sneers* SO YER GONNA LET THAT STUPID NICKNAME GET TO YOU, PINKIE?
pinkbikerbot07: *continues to pull, hatehatehatehate, hand reaching inside the plating and grabbing at the wires that held onto the spark casing * No, I don't think I am.

crush all humanz: *hisses* I THINK YOU ARE. EITHER YOU CAN LET WHAT HE'S DONE TO YOU TURN YOU INTO A FILTHY VIRUS YOURSELF OR NOT. *that didn't sound broken up at all and no it doesn't hurt shut up - leans up to get those extra few inches down to ONE* DO YOUR WORST. JUST HOPE IT WON'T SLAG YOU FOREVER.
pinkbikerbot07: *she hissed closing the gap until her nose touched his * You want my worst? *hands tightening around the wires, pulling slightly in anger *

crush all humanz: *groans a little and lets his head fall back, claws loosening their vicegrip on her arms* IF YOUR WORST IS RIPPING MY SPARK RIGHT OUT, GO AHEAD. TURN INTO A KILLER. *laughs brokenly* BE A REAL GIRL.
pinkbikerbot07: *she stared at him for a moment, then released the wires * No. I won't turn into him. I don't kill for sport.

crush all humanz: *sags against the ground and lets his arms flop* AT LEAST YOU KNOW IT.
pinkbikerbot07: *staring down at him wordlessly for a moment.* Yeah. I do. Thanks for being my semi-punching bag.

crush all humanz: *winces* SEMI? *glares up at her* IF YER STILL PISSED, YOU BETTER TAKE IT OUT NOW BEFORE THINGS GET OUT OF HAND.
pinkbikerbot07: *stares at him blankly * I'm okay.

crush all humanz: *flatly* NO, YER NOT. IF A SLAGGIN' NICKNAME PISSES YOU OFF SO MUCH, YER FAR FROM OKAY.
pinkbikerbot07: You don't understand. *doesn't move, staring blankly still *

crush all humanz: THEN MAKE ME.

crush all humanz: *growls* SICK AN' TIRED OF Y'ALL ACTING LIKE I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
pinkbikerbot07: How am I supposed to make you understand? You weren't there.

crush all humanz: .....*shrugs* RUN ME THROUGH IT.

crush all humanz: *well, as much of a shrug as he could do*
pinkbikerbot07: *glances at him vaguely * Ever had your processors invaded involuntarily...? *has no idea, but is curious *

crush all humanz: ONLY MOMENTARILY. THEN IT WAS ALL SUNSHINE AND DISNEY MUSIC.
pinkbikerbot07: *glares *
pinkbikerbot07: I'm being serious.

crush all humanz: SO AM I.
pinkbikerbot07: *blinks * ?

crush all humanz: 'S EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED. *another half-shrug*

crush all humanz: VIRUSES KNOW HOW TO GET INTO YOU. MINE JUST HAPPENED TO BE HAPPIER MAKING ME HAPPY.
pinkbikerbot07: ...er, well, you got lucky, then.
pinkbikerbot07: But Nemesis isn't just a virus anymore. He has a body. And...*shivers a bit * It was rather horrible. Physical, mental, verbal abuse.
pinkbikerbot07: But its okay. I'm okay now.

crush all humanz: NO, YOU'RE NOT.

crush all humanz: *flatly* SAYING IT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE.

crush all humanz: YOU NEARLY RIPPED ME TO SHREDS JUST NOW. YOU THINK THAT'S OKAY?
pinkbikerbot07: You offered.
pinkbikerbot07: Besides, I didn't, that proves something, right? *crossing her arms *

crush all humanz: IT PROVES THAT THERE'S SOME AUTOBOT LEFT IN YOU. AND YES, I DID OFFER. *idly* STILL AM.
pinkbikerbot07: What, that I didn't want to kill a friend? *tilts her head.* You're an odd one.

crush all humanz: ALL IT PROVES IS THAT WHATEVER HE DID TO YOU HASN'T CORRUPTED ALL YOUR BASE PROGRAMMING. YET.
pinkbikerbot07: Yet. And did you want me to kill you?

crush all humanz: .........HONESTLY?
pinkbikerbot07: Honestly.

crush all humanz: IF I HADN'T ACCEPTED THE RISK OF YOU KILLING ME, I WOULDN'T HAVE OFFERED TO FIGHT YOU.
pinkbikerbot07: That doesn't really answer what I asked.

crush all humanz: I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO KILL ME, BUT I ACCEPTED IT AS A POSSIBLE OUTCOME.

crush all humanz: *halfshrug*
pinkbikerbot07: Hmph. True.
pinkbikerbot07: Guess it goes both ways.

crush all humanz: YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME SLAG ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
pinkbikerbot07: I did tell you. *shifts *

crush all humanz: TELLING ME VAGUE SLAG DOESN'T TELL ME ANYTHING, ARCEE.
pinkbikerbot07: Why do you want to know?

crush all humanz: BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE OKAY.
pinkbikerbot07: Why not, are you a medic?

crush all humanz: I'M A DECEPTICON WHO DEALS IN BREAKING MORE THAN JUST BONES.

crush all humanz: THE BEST PART OF WHAT HE DID TO YOU IS THAT HE KNEW YOU'D NEVER TALK ABOUT IT.

crush all humanz: YOU'D LET IT FESTER.

crush all humanz: *leer* GROW.
pinkbikerbot07: That is a wonderful reason why I wouldn't want you to know my business.
pinkbikerbot07: And maybe I want it to grow, hmm? *shifts a bit, leaning down again * What if I told you that I liked it?

crush all humanz: *grins darkly* IF YOU LIKED IT, YOU WOULD HAVE KEPT GOING.
pinkbikerbot07: Maybe. Maybe not.
pinkbikerbot07: *staring thoughtfully *

crush all humanz: *watches her easily* DO YOU WANT IT TO GROW?
pinkbikerbot07: Possibly.

crush all humanz: .........................*winces as he shifts an arm, reaching up and grabbing one of her wrists, dragging her hand down back against the wires she had come so close to yanking out* THEN PULL.
pinkbikerbot07: *she took hold of the wires and tugged a little bit, leaning down over him * Why do you want to test me?

crush all humanz: *winces at the tugs but keeps his optics locked on her* BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO.
pinkbikerbot07: *rolls the wires in her fingers thoughtfully * Why?

crush all humanz: BECAUSE I WANT TO. DO I NEED A REASON? *that doesn't quite hurt, actually but he keeps his voice level anyways* YOU WANT IT TO GROW, LET IT.
pinkbikerbot07: Yeah, actually, you do need a reason. *she leered at him, tugging gently at the wires * And I want to know what that reason is.
crush all humanz: *twitches - a full body shudder* BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE JUST HOW FAR YOU'LL GO FOR SOMETHING YOU WANT. *leers right back* HOW PASSIONATE ARE YOU, PINKIE?

pinkbikerbot07: *she jerked at the name again, her whole body twitching in anger, hand gripping those wires tightly * Don't call me that.

crush all humanz: WHY NOT? *growls* BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA LET IT BE YOUR TRIGGER?
pinkbikerbot07: No. Because I don't like it. *frowning down at him, slightly calmer, but doesn't let go of the connection. She liked having that bit of control over someone who was needling the fuck out of her *

crush all humanz: TOO FUCKIN' BAD, PINKIE. *hisses* YOU DON'T LIKE IT? I DON'T LIKE A LOT OF THINGS. JOIN THE CLUB.
pinkbikerbot07: *...twitch * Do you want to die?

crush all humanz: ................

crush all humanz: I'M NOT DOING THIS FOR MYSELF. *hisses* DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?

crush all humanz: *keeps his hand gripped on her wrist, not about to let her pull away just for no reason*
pinkbikerbot07: *pleasant * No, I don't want to kill you normally, but every time you call me that horrible name I want to rip this out of your chest, and it's taking everything I have to -not- do that. *not dropping them, rollrolll *

crush all humanz: *clicks his claws against the other's wrist* WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME WHY THAT NAME'S SO HORRIBLE?
pinkbikerbot07: ....*heeeeadtilt o.O *

crush all humanz: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT CALLIN' YOU PINKIE IS SO BAD? 'S JUST ANOTHER NICKNAME, RIGHT?
pinkbikerbot07: No. It's not. He'd usually call me that either before he offlined me, or before he forced another virus on me.
pinkbikerbot07: Or when he was angry. He got angry a lot, used me as an outlet.

crush all humanz: DID HE.

crush all humanz: *optics locked on her*
pinkbikerbot07: He was the most frightening when he was angry. *continuing to roll the wires absently * It was usually just violence. Ripping my optics out, throwing me around, he took a lot of pleasure in slowly offlining me. He never hurt me to where I couldn't self repair.
pinkbikerbot07: HE didn't see any fun in that since he wouldn't be able to repair me.

crush all humanz: *smirks* VIOLENCE IS HARDLY FRIGHTENING.
pinkbikerbot07: Maybe not.

crush all humanz: OPTIC REMOVAL... OFFLINING... WEAKNESS. JUST ANOTHER PETTY POWERPLAY.

crush all humanz: I'VE DONE FAR WORSE THAN THAT.
pinkbikerbot07: *murmurs * I'm sure that you have.

crush all humanz: *sneers* HE HARDLY BROKE YOU. KNOCKED YOU AROUND BUT LET YOU REPAIR YOURSELF. HOW PATHETIC. FEMMES ARE FAR EASIER TO BREAK AND YET HE BARELY EVEN TRIED..... A PITY. I WOULD'VE TAKEN FAR GREATER STEPS WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU.
pinkbikerbot07: *growls, grips those wires and -yank!*

crush all humanz: *URK*
pinkbikerbot07: Shut the fuck up, Crusher. You don't know what you're talking about. *hiss *

crush all humanz: *winces and sneers up at her* YOU WOULD FUCKING LIKE TO THINK THAT. *and then ROLLS, pinning her and ignoring the searing pain from the wires* YOU COULD ONLY FUCKING WISH.

crush all humanz: *leering* WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW MUCH I KNOW?
pinkbikerbot07: *hiss up at him, not liking being pinned * You don't know anything at all.

crush all humanz: *leans down right in her face* I KNOW HOW TO FORCIBLY MAKE YOU ENJOY EVERY SINGLE THING I DO TO YOU. I COULD MAKE YOU BEG FOR ME TO RIP YOU APART, MAKE YOU BEG. I WOULDN'T NEED TO RIP YOUR OPTICS OUT - YOU'D DO IT YOURSELF.

crush all humanz: I'VE DONE FAR MORE THAN JUST THROW FEMMES AROUND, LITTLE GIRL.
pinkbikerbot07: *wiggles beneath him, reaching up to slag him in the fucking face *

crush all humanz: *lets her, laughing viciously at the punches* WANT ME TO SHOW YOU? WANT ME TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO REALLY HATE?
pinkbikerbot07: *staring at him * ...

crush all humanz: YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN IT ALL, LITTLE GIRL.

crush all humanz: *hisses* YOU'VE NOT YET REALIZED HOW DEEPLY YOU CAN BE HURT.
pinkbikerbot07: I already have a pretty good idea. *hisses right back at him *
crush all humanz: *leans down and tilts her head to whisper into her audios* IF A LITTLE PHYSICAL TORTURE HAS YOU READY TO RIP OUT MY SPARK, I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL.
pinkbikerbot07: *twitches * Then maybe I don't.

crush all humanz: DO YOU WANT IT TO GROW, PINKIE? DO YOU WANT IT TO FILL YOU UP UNTIL YOU BURST?
pinkbikerbot07: *reaching up and gripping his head, hands shaking in rage * STOP CALLING ME THAT!

crush all humanz: *chuckles* I'LL CALL YOU WHATEVER I WANT TO CALL YOU.
pinkbikerbot07: *snatching at his wires, fully tending to RIP IT OUT *

crush all humanz: WHATEVER GETS YOU TO REALLY SHOW ME HOW BADLY HE'S AFFECTED YOU.

crush all humanz: *lets her grab, optics flickering a bit at it but still - ain't stoppin' yet*

crush all humanz: LET ME SEE JUST HOW BAD HE WAS. LET ME SEE THE GREAT TERROR NEMESIS INSTILLS.
pinkbikerbot07: What the hell do you want me to do, Crusher, huh?

crush all humanz: *locks optics* I WANT YOU TO DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
pinkbikerbot07: I don't know what the hell that's supposed to mean. I don't even know what I need to do. *growling, YANK *

crush all humanz: *howls at that but otherwise stays silent - he knows she's not all right, and she knows she needs something - just whether or not he's going to be any help at all is the question*
pinkbikerbot07: *shoves at him * Get the slag off me, you crazy 'Con.

crush all humanz: *leans back, still kneeling over her but not quite in her face* ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP INSISTING YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, OR HAVE YOU REALIZED THAT YOU CLEARLY AREN'T?
pinkbikerbot07: *mumbles something * Sure. I'm nuts. That help?

crush all humanz: *chuckles a bit and sits back, off of her now* YER HARDLY NUTS. ANGRY AND LETTING THINGS GET TO YOU, YEAH. BUT NOT CRAZY.
pinkbikerbot07: *stays on the floor * I don't know what is the matter with me. You're right. A little bit of torture shouldn't break me.

crush all humanz: ...........

crush all humanz: ......YOU'VE NEVER BEEN UNDER CONTROL OF A 'CON LIKE ME, HAVE YOU. NOT DURING THE WAR.
pinkbikerbot07: No.
pinkbikerbot07: I got lucky, a lot.

crush all humanz: ......

crush all humanz: LUCKY AT THE TIME.
pinkbikerbot07: *optics narrow * What does that mean?

crush all humanz: YOU DON'T HAVE A PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO COMPARE THIS TO.
pinkbikerbot07: No.

crush all humanz: EXACTLY.

crush all humanz: OF COURSE THIS IS AFFECTING YOU. *sneers a little*
pinkbikerbot07: Then what the fuck do you want from me, Crusher? I've already admitted I'm a pussy for feeling like this.

crush all humanz: .......THE THINGS I WANT HARDLY MATTER, ARCEE.

crush all humanz: I ONLY CAME HERE BECAUSE YOU WERE FREAKING OUT, AFTER ALL.
pinkbikerbot07: The things you want do matter. And I'm asking you what you fucking want from me. *sounds tired *

crush all humanz: I WANT YOU FIXED.
pinkbikerbot07: *grumbles * I'm fine. Nothing some energon wont fix. It's stupid to be all pissy about something to small.
pinkbikerbot07: *sitting up, inspecting her damage *

crush all humanz: .....*watches her idly, ignoring, you know, the gaping hole in his chest and the sparks flying*
pinkbikerbot07: *glancing over, staring at the sparks * I'm sorry. *really means it *

crush all humanz: WHY?
pinkbikerbot07: Because for some unknown reason I like you. *tilts her head and frowns * And I don't want to hurt you.

crush all humanz: OBVIOUSLY YOU DO, OR ELSE I WOULDN'T BE SPARKING EVERYWHERE. *still watching her, a little bemusedly*
pinkbikerbot07: *scowls at him, reaching out * Come here. Let me stop the sparking.

crush all humanz: *moves over to her, still low to the ground, and sits within her reach*
pinkbikerbot07: *sighs, starts reconnecting wires, feeling slightly guilty, but eh, it's Crusher *

crush all humanz: *watches her, frowning - sitting very still and being very quiet while she does her medic's duty*
pinkbikerbot07: *wrinkling her nose, leans forward to finish, feeling worse when she sees what she's done to his plates, oops * Damn. Got you good, didn't I?

crush all humanz: THERE'S BEEN WORSE.
pinkbikerbot07: *nod * I believe it. *sits back, blinking, sparking ceased, hole's prolly still there *

crush all humanz: *idly looks her over* NEXT TIME, I WON'T HOLD BACK.
pinkbikerbot07: >.< You held back?

crush all humanz: *locks optics with her* I TOLD YOU. I CAN DO FAR WORSE THAN NEMESIS. IF I WEREN'T HOLDING BACK, YOU WOULD HAVE QUICKLY REALIZED IT.
pinkbikerbot07: Yeah. I guess. *stares * I mean, what though? How much can you hurt someone before they just die?

crush all humanz: .......

crush all humanz: I HAVE SEEN MECHS WILLINGLY TEAR THEIR OPTICS OUT AFTER THE THINGS I'VE DONE TO THEM. I WAS NOT EXAGGERATING.
pinkbikerbot07: I didn't think you were.

crush all humanz: *dark smile* AND FEMMES.... I HATE THEM, BUT THEY CAN MAKE DELICIOUS SOUNDS UNDER THE PROPER DURESS. *a little dazed, almost not even talking to her - more like remembering good times. well.... "good" is relative.*
pinkbikerbot07: *staring at him * What kind of sounds?

crush all humanz: *looks at her* BEAUTIFUL SCREAMS.
pinkbikerbot07: ...really.
pinkbikerbot07: *stares *

crush all humanz: *nods easily, optics glinting* THEY CRY THE MOST WHEN YOU HAVE THEIR SPARK IN YOUR HAND. THROWING THEM AGAINST THE WALL JUST GETS YOU LITTLE GRUNTS - IT'S THE REAL TERROR THAT GETS THE BEST NOISE.
pinkbikerbot07: *mumbles * I'm sure that it does. Fear of dying will do that to you.

crush all humanz: *laughs at that - loudly* DYING? OH, THEY KNEW BETTER THAN TO EXPECT THAT.
pinkbikerbot07: ...

crush all humanz: *quiets a bit after a moment, looking steadily at her* THERE ARE THINGS FAR WORSE THAN DEATH.
pinkbikerbot07: I luckily never got caught. So, I wouldn't know.

crush all humanz: VERY LUCKY.
pinkbikerbot07: I knew it then, and I know it now.

crush all humanz: *quietly* IF YOU KNOW WHERE NEMESIS IS, TELL ME. *slightly seething voice* I'LL SHOW HIM HOW IT'S DONE.
pinkbikerbot07: *blinks at him * Why? You don't have any business with him.

crush all humanz: *levelly* YES I DO. HE THOUGHT HE COULD GET AWAY WITH BENDING YOU A BIT? HARDLY.
pinkbikerbot07: *blinks again * Wait, you're mad he messed with me and gave me a bunch of viruses?

crush all humanz: OBVIOUSLY IF I DIDN'T CARE, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN WILLING TO LET YOU KILL ME.
pinkbikerbot07: *staring at him, mouth now hanging open *

crush all humanz: WHAT?
pinkbikerbot07: That’s so nice of you. *regained composure, smirk *

crush all humanz: *shakes his head* YOU DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE IN CONTROL NEARLY THE ENTIRE TIME?
pinkbikerbot07: Too angry.

crush all humanz: WELL, NOW YOU REALIZE.
pinkbikerbot07: *blinks awkwardly at him * Didn't know you actually gave a damn.

crush all humanz: WOULD I HAVE COME HERE AT ALL OTHERWISE?
pinkbikerbot07: I guess not. *sheepish, pats him on the arm *

crush all humanz: *shrugs* EITHER WAY, I WANT COORDINATES. MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU NEED TO SEE HOOK.
pinkbikerbot07: I don't have coordinates.
pinkbikerbot07: *sounds annoyed.*

crush all humanz: YOU'LL REMEMBER THEM EVENTUALLY.
pinkbikerbot07: I hope so. He’s got Elita. *sounds aggravated *

crush all humanz: .........

crush all humanz: *chuckles weakly* WELL. THAT'S GOOD FOR BRAWL. *shrugs* WE'LL FIND HIM AND KILL HIM. 'S THAT SIMPLE.

pinkbikerbot07: Brawl? *perks *

crush all humanz: NOTHING IMPORTANT.
pinkbikerbot07: ...
pinkbikerbot07: Okay. Fine.

crush all humanz: NOTHIN' PERSONAL, BUBBLEGUM... JUST SOMETHING BRAWL TOLD ME NOT TO TALK ABOUT.
pinkbikerbot07: I already know he's fucking Elita's bonded.
pinkbikerbot07: *peasant * I'm going to kill them both.

crush all humanz: .....

crush all humanz: UNFORTUNATELY, I'D HAVE TO STOP YOU. I HATE BRAWL, BUT HE'S ONE OF THE FEW AFTS AROUND WHO CAN KEEP UP WITH ME WHEN DRINKING.
pinkbikerbot07: *nudges him * Then we'll have to have another go, wont we?

crush all humanz: .....I DON'T WANT TO GO AGAINST YOU AGAIN IF I CAN HELP IT.

crush all humanz: HARD ENOUGH GOING EASY THIS TIME.
pinkbikerbot07: I'm not going to sit there and let him interface with someone else’s bonded. I may not be able to kill him, but I'm damn sure going to try.

crush all humanz: ....

crush all humanz: LET'S HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
pinkbikerbot07: Why wouldn't I? *blink * He's already done it.

crush all humanz: BECAUSE UNTIL YOU KNOW ELITA'S ALL RIGHT, I DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM.
pinkbikerbot07: Oh, that.
pinkbikerbot07: Yeah. Well once I get her and 'Cade back, that’s when he dies.

crush all humanz: *stands* WELL. YOU TALKING OF KILLING MY DRINKING BUDDY IS QUITE ATTRACTIVE AN' HOT AN' ALL, BUT IF YER NOT GONNA NEED TO RIP MY SPARK OUT, I'M USELESS HERE.
pinkbikerbot07: *starts laughing * Hot, huh?

crush all humanz: OF COURSE.

crush all humanz: DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ARE THE TWO MAJOR TURN ON’S OF ALL DECEPTICONS. *deadpan*
pinkbikerbot07: Oh. *optic gleam at him * That's interesting.

crush all humanz: ....*is walking to the door - but stops and turns to look at her levelly.* NEXT TIME, DON'T FONDLE MY WIRES. *leer* YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH ME.
pinkbikerbot07: *staaares, bursts into laughter *

crush all humanz: *shrugs* NEXT TIME YOU DO, I REFUSE TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
pinkbikerbot07: I didn't mean too. *defensive, but not really *

crush all humanz: I KNOW. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE STILL IN ONE FUNCTIONING PIECE.
pinkbikerbot07: That bad, huh? *mock glare *

crush all humanz: *smirk* AFTER MY ORDEAL WITH FLAMEWAR, MY RELATIONSHIPS TO FEMMES WHO CAN GET ME RILED UP HAS USUALLY INCLUDED THEM NONFUNCTIONING.

crush all humanz: WE'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.
pinkbikerbot07: Apparently so. *optic roll *
pinkbikerbot07: When I get the coordinates for Elita...come with me to get her?

crush all humanz: ....YEAH.

crush all humanz: I'D BE GLAD TO.
pinkbikerbot07: *nods, relieved.* Can't take him on my own.

crush all humanz: I REALIZE THAT. I'LL USE HIM TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW MUCH WORSE YOUR STAY WITH HIM COULD HAVE BEEN. *darkly* UNICRON HIMSELF WILL WINCE IN PAIN.
pinkbikerbot07: *nods, grim * Then maybe you can show me some of your techniques?

crush all humanz: IF YOU HAD PUSHED MUCH FARTHER TONIGHT, ARCEE, YOU WOULD HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE.

crush all humanz: *very solemn*
pinkbikerbot07: Me?! You told me to attack you. *growls, highly annoyed *

crush all humanz: I DID. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW DEEPLY AFFECTED YOU WERE.

crush all humanz: .....*quietly* DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH I MISSED THE OLD DAYS, MYSELF.
pinkbikerbot07: *growls *

crush all humanz: *idly* DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME AGAIN, ARCEE?
pinkbikerbot07: *is annoyed with him, doesn't say anything * No. Go drink your energon, ya slagger.

crush all humanz: *nods a bit* I WILL. JUST KEEP IN MIND, THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE ANGRY, I WILL FIGHT BACK.
pinkbikerbot07: Got it. *stares at him quietly *

crush all humanz: ......

crush all humanz: *looks at her for another long moment, then leaves, slamming the not-so-locking door behind him*
pinkbikerbot07: *frowns, she'll have to fix that...*
