Blues had yet to wake up again since he had fallen asleep back on the battlefield. The rest of the events (including the -bomb- that leveled the building) hadn't managed to rouse him from his recharge. Though Light's P-tank had done well to fill his core in time for battle, the change (and the subsequent running around like a crazy bot) had taken a lot out of him. The week of torture and sleep deprivation leading up to the battle hadn't been too kind on him either.
Eventually though, the bot started to shift and come out of sleep. He wasn't fully rested, no, but something was telling him he needed to get up. With a yawn, Blues sat up and rubbed at his eyes a bit.
Man..what a weird dream. Usually his 'dreams' were simply replays of old memories, but he had never been -blue-...or a speed demon, or had wings. He'd have to talk to his father about the odd dreams. For now though he was a bit hungry. He considered getting up, letting his tail flick around a bit.
And that was when he caught sight of the blue tipped appendage. The flicking immediately stopped as he just stared at the changed fur.

Forte hadn't really left Blues's side since he went into a recharge coma, really. He talked to a few masters outside of the door, but he didn't really leave. He was worried about damage done to Blues's core during the torture, and maybe while he was on whatever concoction Light had whipped up and forced on his poor first son. He'd had time to look the other over, get used to the way he had suddenly changed (save for the wings) and was half drifting into charge mode himself when the other bot yawned.
Red eyes opened and he looked down at the other before arching a brow.
"So that beauty sleep didn't help you at all."
Yep so affectionate.

"Yeah well -you'd- need quite a bit yoursel---"
Blues had whipped his head around to growl at the other, but the remark died off as he caught site of Forte. ...Well, yeah it was Bass, and yet it wasn't.
What the hell?!
"Why am I blue?! And why are you...that, and -where are we-"
...It was Bass' room, he knew that! But last he really remembered he had been with the rebels and..
Ugh.
He flopped onto his stomach with a sigh. And -that- is when the wings chose to come back on, fluttering into existence simply to annoy Forte.

"I don't know why you're... the way you are, but I got a rebuild..." He tugged at Blues's new scarf and nuzzled right into his throat with a worried look and noise. Stupid Blues. He'd actually been really worried about him.
Then those stupid wings fluttered and he growled and tried to bite at them, only to get nothing Stupid ******** light wings. "...Turn your wings off."

Right now he couldn't find the words to express how he felt, but he actually rather liked Bass' new look. It was change, and change usually freaked him out...but something about the new look really fit Bass. It was just...so him.
Maybe later he'd be able to say this out loud.
"Turn my -what- off?"
Blues glanced back, spotting the wings fidgeting around behind him.
"..Those aren't mine."
Oh but they were.
"And I have NO idea how to turn them off or...just what?!"
He was scrambling to sit up again, pretty freaked out by this point.

"...Not yours? They're sticking out of your back. They have to be yours unless you've got a fairy living under your synthetic fur and skin." Forte was completely deadpan as he spoke this and just put his hand over where they sprouted, wondering if that would stop them. He just bit at that tiny blue ear instead, tugging on it with a growl as his tail fluffed up in annoyance at those wings.
Still, there was a more serious question on his mind. "...How's the core doing?"

With the paw over where they originated, the light wings dimmed. ...Slightly. For the most part they seemed completely unaffected.
Blues whined as his ear was bit, the other ear flicking around. He was still rather tense, and wondering just what was up with this sudden appearance change.
...But Forte's question was rather serious, so he tried to force the other thoughts out of his mind so he could focus a minute and answer.
"...No more broken as usual."
The bot lifted a paw, rubbing it on his chest in the approximate area his core would lay.
"They...didn't touch it. No need, just let it deplete itself of energy and kept me in that state. Lost a tooth though."
He tried to grin, the smile a bit lopsided with one of his bigger teeth missing on the left side.
"Left it in some poor b*****d's ear."

Okay that gap toothed grin was kind of cute and he wouldn't ever admit that out loud. Siging a little, he tugged at Blues's ear again and snorted before just wrapping an arm and leg around the other, drawing him close and nodded. "Good... I guess...? That it's no more uh... broken than usual? And with Flashover dead we could actually... Relax a little, I guess. Just a smidge though. The rebels are still out there." Dealing with a rebellion with no leader was a lot easier than dealing with a mob and a leader. His tail flicked lightly as he thought and just kind of went limp.
"...Light dragged you out because some sniper walked in with a bomb."

...It hadn't been a dream.
Father had given him -something- that had not only energized him but changed him. And Forte...well Forte had taken all the fun by killing Flashover. God ******** damnit.
"...Remind me to thank father later...and I am just not going to ask about the Sniper."
Blues sighed, trying to calm his nerves and simply settle into Forte's embrace.
"Flashover's followers are still a problem...I owe them for their fine hospitality this week."
He actually -growled- a bit at that. Remove his tracker, duct tape his muzzle and tail, -destroy- his tail, starve him. Yeah. He wasn't happy with them.
Speaking of his tail, it gave another flick before simply ceasing to move, dropping heavily on Forte as the circuits fried out again.
"...damnit"

"We can get that fixed now that you're awake. Wily wouldn't even try to come in the room." Sure Forte had kind of threatened him on more than one occasion. He didn't want Blues being worked on while he was asleep. With a deep breath, he sighed against the other's neck and just stroked a hand under the scarf around his neck, scratching absently.
"I won't remind you. I'm not your nanny. As for the followers... For now the masters are taking care of them, so we'll just get you fixed up and join them."

-Always- with the snark. Blues wanted to come up with a witty remark...but he was a bit busy happily purring at the hand under his scarf.
"...it's not that bad."
Actually it was. His tail was on the fritz and since it was a major part of staying -balanced- he sort of needed it. But Blues was a bit thrown by all the changes he already had gone through...he really didn't want to think about anything else.
Even if it was -good- for him. He was stubborn and he really didn't like change. Or repairs.

He hadn't actually been using snark that time, but whatever. With a noise he just nuzzled into Blues's ears with that purr that was still broken which was a welcomed... not change. His hands still scratched under that scarf and he just laid there with him until he said it wasn't that bad. "..Blues, without your tail you're going to be about as useless as I was with no legs."

Yes, the purr was definitely a welcome noise. It wasn't broken, not to Blues at least. He rather enjoyed Bass' purring.
"I hate to say it, but I can still -walk- with a busted tail. You...kind of couldn't."
But Bass -was- right...he really needed it to be fixed. Rather than give in to reason he simply let out a frustrated whine and further buried himself against the other's side.
"I don't -want- anyone else messing with me, or taking things apart, or CHANGING me."
Bass could likely feel something -wet- against his fur...Blues was actually crying.
Really the entire week had just caught up to him and slammed into him full force.

Those tears had caught him off guard and he let his brows knit hard. What? That was an Audio's emotional response and he just stared at him a little before sighing hard. Blues was frustrated and he Forte didn't know what to do for him so he just kind of held him tighter and pet over his hair because it was something he'd seen citizens do when someone was... stressed? Maybe? He didn't know. This was not Forte's forte in the slightest bit.
"I didn't say now, I said it needed it. Just... whenever, I guess?"

Well Dr. Light -had- built him to be as much like a regular Audio as possible. Though some of the emotions weren't meant to be -this- advanced...they were. It was a technological marvel really! And at the moment it was perhaps -vastly annoying-.
Blue was beyond frustrated. Overwhelmed, definitely. He had been frustrated even before his capture, with the long working hours and little rest. Now he was simply exhausted both physically and mentally. Apparently the only way he had to express this was the tears and a bit of incomprehensible babbling. Something about god damn rebels? And repairs scaring him?
Really who knew.
It seemed after a few minutes of just being allowed to bawl he slowly calmed down. He was sure to keep himself pressed against Bass for the time being, hiding from the rest of the world for now.
...At least the damn wings faded out and turned off for the moment.
