There's a startled sound as she comes out in a large, drab-walled room that holds couches, a huge TV, and some game tables. Over in a corner by an array of data chips a blue and yellow Autobot about the same size as she is stares at her with alarm. "Who are you? How did you get *cough* in here?"

[silenceandpsych]

Gen stares back at him with wide optics. "I-i-i, I, I, I..."

Needless to say, this has come as a bit of a shock to her.

[slag_megs]

He frowns and sets down the datapad he'd been using, then gets up to approach her warily. "Did you just get to Earth?"

[silenceandpsych]

Good news, she's not stuttering anymore. Bad news? She's not making a sound, though she's working her mouth like she's trying to.

Her thumb doesn't seem to be obeying her mental command to activate the PINpoint agian.

[slag_megs]

"It's alright." Elita looks around as a bustle comes into the room, accompanied by excited squeaking and giggling.

"Gen?" asks Jazz's deep voice. "What you doin' here, baby girl?"

[silenceandpsych]

Gen looks up sharply at the sound of his voice. "Jazz! I-I was l-looking at my PINpoint, a-and I saw these coordinates, and I wasn't going to activate it, b-but there was a noise, a-and I got teleported here."

[slag_megs]

"Shhh." He takes her from Elita and hugs her, Bit, Bumblebee, and all. "It's okay, baby girl. Take a deep breath."

[silenceandpsych]

Gen does take a deep breath. And another one... and another one.

Finally she calms down enough to relax into the hug a little bit. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset anyone."

[slag_megs]

"Who ya leave her with?" He lets her go and rubs Bumblebee's back.

Bit squirms just a little, then gravely gives her a little kiss on the cheek and another patpat.

[silenceandpsych]

"Psych's watching her. He told me to take a break, but I really should be getting back."

[slag_megs]

"Here. Come walkin' with me a little bit."

[silenceandpsych]

"But I... okay..."

[slag_megs]

A soft chuckle as he turns and watches her closely. "He's fine, baby girl. Just well on his way ta bein' a married mech."

[silenceandpsych]

For a split second, Gen's face falls before she schools it into a (sad) smile. "Oh. Well, um, good for him."

[slag_megs]

"Gen, when Bumble fell off that table 'n scared Dready, you felt it."

[silenceandpsych]

Wait for it... It's sinking in, just wait for it...

Her mouth forms an "oh". "How did...?"

[slag_megs]

You're the one that's feelin' him." He takes the bottle from Bumblebee and sets her to his shoulder to gently work the air bubbles out of her fuel lines.

[silenceandpsych]

"But... I..."

Something smells like it's starting to overheat in her processor.

[slag_megs]

Jazz sighs and reaches over to rub her back as Bit once more patpats her. "Deep breath, baby girl."

[silenceandpsych]

Gen wimpers lightly and leans into Jazz's touch. Her whole demeanor is saying, "I'm confused and in need of comfort. Give hugs, please."
