⠀ i’ll take it ta go and go ahead and get cleaned up before i ruin somethin’. er, thanks for lettin’ me stay again. ⠀ ( rubs at the back of his helm. ) ⠀

⠀ mkay.. if ya say so. ⠀ ( he’ll close the door & lock up for her. he knows that much about her routine, patiently standing. since he’s all mucky, tracer doesn’t wish to touch any furniture. ) ⠀

⠀ ya sure? ⠀ ( he’d help but rotorstorm might miraculously conjure up the energy to maul him right here if he touches him, meekly following them up to the porch. ) ⠀

⠀ uh, yeah— it’s no big deal. anythin’ for a friend. hope ya both recover soon. ⠀ ( flicking brain matter from his rotors. ) ⠀

starz we teleport home POOF

⠀ ( supporting sunwire the best he can.. ) ⠀ i meant every bit of my doin’s, but hey, he had it comin’. ⠀

⠀ …served justice. ⠀

⠀ ( the little devil’s just gonna let this play out. slowllyyyyy releasing.. ) ⠀

⠀ ( in times like this, tracer is thankful for his masked features. the scent of charred mechanics is rough on the olfactory sensors. blade removed, allowing sunwire ample room whilst he continues to openly gawk. ) ⠀ there it is. the confession. ⠀ 𖬺

⠀ ( IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ARENA IN HERE!! the micromaster is picking off the weaker ones first, aiming for the waist & slicing clean through using the fan like cycling of his blades. a single individual remains, & tracer clings to him with the point ⠀ 𖬺

⠀ ( something of the sort. he’s a little bit of an observer, so to speak. ) ⠀ this is too easy for me ta just be sittin’ here. cover ya ears if you’re squeamish. ⠀ ( the entire mount of his rotors are connected onto his forearm, slinking in. ⠀ * 😋 ) ⠀

⠀ i could pick ‘em off easily. i don’t hear that many on the other side. ⠀ ( tracer plants his servos on the wall, his pedes sticking next. scaling the wall like a lizard, audial to the wall. listening. ) ⠀

⠀ that’s where it gets tricky.. ⠀ ( digits pinch & stroke at his masked chin, small steps bringing him away from the cloaking predacon. ) ⠀ we’ll work somethin’ out. ⠀

⠀ i’ve got loads of stun bombs. i think using what we’ve got we got a good chance of doin’ some sort of damage. ⠀

⠀ whatcha guys got on ya? ⠀ ( the better question is what doesn’t tracer have on him? BUT, figured he’d ask. ) ⠀

⠀ kill one to set an example, keep the other in a bind and question the hell outta ‘em. ⠀ ( holding tightly onto his blades. ) ⠀ once we get what we want, kill that one too. ⠀

⠀ what’s ’at mean? you’re in his head? ⠀ ( freaky.. but cool nonetheless! trotting after her! ) ⠀

⠀ ( what she doin’. ) ⠀

⠀ ( as soon as the micromaster lands alongside the pair, he plucks two blades from the fanned array on his back, the remaining rotors limply folding. his receivers are alert!! ) ⠀

⠀ ( lead the way, void! ) ⠀

⠀ that direction if what he says is right. ⠀ ( gestures off to his side. ) ⠀

⠀ ( arms crossed. ) ⠀

⠀ alright, sniffy. this is the only spot i found that had any indications of a struggle. i bet you’ll find a scent. ⠀ ( points at the ruffed up ground for void. ) ⠀

⠀ ( keep up. ) ⠀

⠀ we’re headed to the academy now. can’t you sniff around there or somethin’? ⠀

⠀ here’s ta hopin’. ⠀ ( you cannot escape tracer’s trained eye, stopping & staring right up at him. ) ⠀

⠀ who? is that that guys name? mmph. dunno. i can find rotorstorm myself. ⠀ ( balls his fists up at his sides. ) ⠀

⠀ i think that sounds like a plan. let’s get outta here. ⠀ ( discards his empty cube & heads for the door. ) ⠀

⠀ ya, uh— ready ta head out there again? ⠀

⠀ ( drinking a cube.. ) ⠀

⠀ ( with the way she’s acting so defeated, it feels like the wrecker is already dead & GONE. shaking his helm & stepping inside. she’s just super worried, tracer. ) ⠀

⠀ i’d feel guilty if anything happened to you while he wasn’t here. we’ll find him. it’ll be easy. ⠀ ( stepping up onto her porch. ) ⠀

⠀ rotorstorm would want ya to be home safe until mornin’. ya know that. ⠀ ( begins guiding her that way. ) ⠀

⠀ until then, i’ll get ya home. we’ll start up again tomorrow. ⠀

⠀ okay— well offer your assistance some more while i get her home. it’s late. she shouldn’t be out here dealing with this mess in her state. all i found was this and some tore up ground. ⠀( hands her a triangular pink chip from the edge of a blade. ) ⠀

⠀ what’s goin’ on? she wasn’t cryin’ when i left and now you’re here and she is? ⠀

⠀ ( lands in-between them. ) ⠀

starz we will have to find rotorstorm tomorrow bc i cant be up late i’ve got work early in the morning!! dont track him completely yetttt!!

⠀ ( scampering around the campus under the cover of darkness, optics peeled for anything that might be useful. ) ⠀

⠀ course i would. i’ll report back soon with any findings, ‘kay? don’t wander too far without me. ⠀

⠀ psh. i could definitely get into the perimeters. want me to check it out? ⠀ ( rotors twirling, giving him leverage. ) ⠀ see what i can see? ⠀

⠀ ya tried getting ahold of him already? where’s he work—? could start there. ⠀ ( despite the work tracer finds himself tied up in, he isn’t a complete monster. he hates seeing sunwire so beside herself! ) ⠀

⠀ the wrecker? nah. he the reason you’re out ‘ere? have a squabble or something? ⠀ ( lifts a brow. ) ⠀

⠀ ( suddenly walking alongside her, looking up. he’s good at his job what can he say! & part of his job is remaining unsuspected. ) ⠀ where ya headed? ⠀

⠀ ( SHUT YOUR NOSE HOLES. something worth his time has caught his attention. ) ⠀

⠀ ( stop looking over here. ) ⠀

⠀ ( rotor vibrations.. ) ⠀

⠀ ( HOW IS HE HERE EVERY TIME. ) ⠀

⠀ time really didn’t do ya any good. that’s great. it’s just what i expected. ⠀ ( squint, mask replaced & rotors cycling quicker in his pursuit of the skylight. popping through & JUMPING on it in order to close it behind him. ) ⠀

⠀ ( rotors engage & propel him softer, their spin producing a swirling sound from behind. ) ⠀ i know that i’m right. been in here sulkin’, no one to talk to. because you’re a JERK. ⠀
