Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No it's a boring and dull as it was when you were last here. Jazz seemed to make sure of that." Bumlbebee threw out though he had origonlly not evne wanted Jazz in Prowl's room to begin with. turnign ove rot Optimus wondering aobu this omment. "So why exactly do we need to wathc the news for fires Boss Bot? I thaught you said your boyfriend understood low profile?" Bmblebee asked which seeing Optimus get uncfrontable was woht the smack on the bakc of the head.

Rodimus held in a razor tongue rotort on that one but glared somehwat. "Ddin't know you cared." Besdies he'd alwasy be able to reconizze Knock Out evne htough he prefer keeping that little secret of to himself. "And my answer is stil the same Knock Out. No." He really wished he'd been able to say that with more force and conviction.
Knock Out woudl pick up on that slip up like a scraplit picked up on a freash warm bot signiture, than woudl ruthless dig in till there was nothing left.
"SO why you on Earth? This doens't look like a plane you would enjoy. Alittle to dirty for you I would have guessed." As long as he kept the docotr at physical arms lenght Rodimus knew he coudl at least get away more or less unscathed.
The look Kncok out was giving him though made him feel as though he woudnt be going anywhere anytime soon.

"Your lucky it's late Ninja Bot and I'm to tired ot care right now. And Rodimus is your boyfreind boss bot just accept it." bumlbebee added the last part in fast and soly for Optimus's audios. Of course on that note ubmlbebee was rmeidned how long it had been for him .. well not sense him and Prowl last were togeather anyway."The second he goes breain dead form meditating to much i get his room."

Damn Knock Out's ability to read him flawlessly. "Guess you woudl know aobut flashy paint jobs." though he found himself more than alittle rooted to the spot wiht Knock oiut suddnely so close ...
"And considering your hardly frontline .. give me a good reason to even mention you exsist to them." Despite everything though... he missed him. A lot. To the point of it being painful and even potentialy insanity.
"So what new lackies did you get to do your work for you lately? Sense I heard you've adopted na odd new type for your partners." Feeling the heat building in hi body and his face wans't helping in the least.
He was losign an unwinable battle.

"Big bots ith big muscles throwing and breaking things. What girl doens want that?" Charoma asked and there was no sarcasim in her voice. "Though shouldn't your boss be the one going as well and not me? the mos ti did for Cybertorn other htna ruthless kill cons and wind up in stasis lock."
She always fancied mechs that were large and very powerful. Oddly enoughthe Cons always seemed ot hodl her interest when it came ot pelasing looking mechs.
Just osmehtign aobut all tha tpower and lack of caring whatever they used it on ... turn on.

"So wait you can .. feel the Allspark than? And you saw into a Con's head? Creepy. What did you see?" Bumblebee asked alittle to excited but he coudlnt' help it. How often to you hear that a friend of yours can see into people head's? Not often. "Hey hey can you see into mine? What am I thinking right now?" He asked excityly.

An unentiel shiver visible ran through his whole body. "I could say the same to you." He muttered while trying to keep his voice level, and succeding if only barely. Rodimus never took his eyes off Knock Out, which was boht hindering and helping him just as much if he wans't wathcing him. "And whos to say i will say something. if nothing else give them a heads up that your lurking aorund here." He bite out gaining a bit of ground in himself.
Though he saw the glint in Knock Out's optics which meant the docotr was about to put a stack of dynamite into his solfified defense.

"Sucks." Charoma muttered hearing that. "Well I guess they wont be usuble for awhile so if your tired get in already." She gave a vaguae showing motion wiht her hands as she walked past him to get ot her berth. "if I punch yyou while inrecharge dont tkae it perosnaly sweetthing. i'm a vient sleeper." She said layigdown and moving to the far wall to give him space.

"A Con that's massivley paranoied huh? Never thaught one of those coudl exsist i thaught Cons were all unfeeling killing machines." that was a rather crude and simple way to desribe them he knew but it was also the best way to put his words out. "i mena i think only Starscrema mathces that catagory but he's just ocmpelty slagging insnae."
That was far mroe accurate.

"And I'm a scraplit." Rodimus through out wihtout hesitation. Kncok out was far more dangeorus than many gave him credit for evne those on his own side. Rodimus had a card up his sleeve, so to speak but whether it was a wise play even he wanst sure. Kncok out's reaction woudl let him know but sadly he's only be albe to play it once.
Well given that he coudl feel his own self restraitn wearing DANGEROUSLY low he felt he was in a good psotion to test it.
"So let me guess disappointment htan the cosmic rust didnt' kill me? i guess team Charr will be looking to cut my spakr out for mylittle not dying epside I gave them. Besdies I thaught Con's weren't suppsoed to have feelings or care." He threw out. Admittidly Knock out's reaction wasn't what he had expected and he was wondeirng if he had just lost another round withhim.
Hurt and anger always looked strange on him and this was no exception.

Next Morning

The next day seemed to bring out more of a postiitve repsonse from eveyrone, well Rodimus seemed to be somewhat of an exception. the Prime had shown up in the vvery early AM hours and had crawled back into the berth next to Optimus but Rodimus had no plans for further fun.
His mood hand't exaclty inproved and whne asked he siad it was simply beign tired and thrown aorund the place so much. His little run in with Knock Out had left him aggitated and if he was oging to be comeplty hoenst heated and unsatisfired.
Knock out being here truely complicated things. Didn't help that he seemed ot have known him and Optiumus shared a bed within the same night of it happening but than Kncok Out was a master of findign and keeping htings hwne he wanted them.
Bubmlbee and Prowl had aparnelty decided to sleep in late though not to late. it wasn't liek they needed ot hide what they were doign though from the sounds of things they literlaly wee just sleeping and not fazing, mcuhto Rodimus's annoyance at losing te bet with Optimus.
Charoma wans't back which meant that Rionhide was still with her which meant that if Con's showed up they woudl be singificantly outnumbered.
Grat.
"You seem distrated." TRatchet said from behidn Rodimus while the Prime had taken to launging on the coutch. "Cosmic rust comginb ack again or are you just antsy?" He asked.
Ratchet was the worng Docotr and not the one he wanted ot be seeing at the moemnt anyway.
"Well old man when you'v been infected, quarentend than shoved across the galazy you'd be feleing alittle osur yourslef." Rodimus counteredback not relly in the mood for a probing at the moemtn. Well if Kncok Out was doing tit than tat owud be a different story.
"Fine you ust better not get the rest of us infected. Or taoster time for you." Teh old medic loamed over himthreateningly than pulled up and left. makign Rodimus wondered if he di this on purpose.
"You ganna ask me aobut my behavior today as well Optimus?" He asked seeing te other Prime right next ot where rathet had been standing looking at him strnagly.

"Great." Rodimus muttered and not masking his dislike of the situation. "Let me guess our oh so wonderful Magnus has decided that he wants to check the Decpticon activity himself? Frag me." The last thing he really needed was seeing Sentinle's ugly face so soon.
That braught in more issues sense Kncok Out was now runnign aorudn and if the Dcotor felt the ned to asert his claim over the Prime when Sentinle was aorund, rodimus knew he'd be in deep slag. And chances were that was what Knock Out woudl aim for, well Rodius would give him credit for cunning amongst other things.
"Sad thing is I was haivng a great day until you told me that. Guess i'll have to purge my mind somehow." Glancing up at Optimus and giving the small look of 'If Your Interested'.

Breakdown coudl tolerate being ditched and left to do everything, it was common for him. But Knock Out showing up as late as he did was almsot unheard of. "You came back late." He said as the two worked and frankly thoughBreakdown felt he may be looking to much into it Kncok Out stayed out late for races and last he chekced the Docotr came back three hours after the last race.
Not that he cared.
"Mind shareing?" He asked though knew he woudl get nothign in repsonse. Also Kncok Out di as he wished that was how he was, Brekadown simply would shut up and fallow.

Rodimus was glad that Optimus agreed sense running into Knock Out woke up a lot of emotions. On top feeling ungodly frisky because of it frnakly he wans't entirly certain what he would have done if Optimus hadn't been interested. Figureing that Optimus had been given a good introduction to his fazing style he figured he could bring some new things to the field this time.
"Course if your strapped for time Optimus i could use my mouth instead this time." He offered up bu making sure Optimus was the only one that heard. Though if he was being hoenst he wouldn't mind in fact he would enjoy it more than anything.
"Well there went our pleasent little reuinion." Bumblebee muttered before sipping some energon himself. "That guy can just ruine nay mode your in no matter what it is it seems. Can't even understand how him and Optmus are even freinds." Honeslty Bumblebee foud himself confused and angery whenever he thaught about it.
Freinds didnt do the things Sentinle did to Optimus.

Brekadown didnt need to guess when Knock Out said 'catch up'. "Least one of us enjoyed htemselves." He muttered while checking the computer's data for listings for no real reason. /the two hadn't touched each other sense bak on the ship during their travel to Earth.
Not sense Breakdown had his little 'episode' at the mentioning of Drag Strip's name.
"Guess that explains your more than obvious good mode.Guess you wont be bugging me for it than." Oddly he foound he was .. not entirly thrilled with that for some reason.
