Need to get outta here

[streetpatrol]

*Streetwise leaves the rec room after finishing a cube of energon. He's still royally slagged off about what happend with First Aid, but the medic made him promise not to do anything about it. Fine...he's not happy about it, but unless it isn't taken care of by someone else, he'll stay out of it

Hasn't been much up with me. I've been spending most of my time with Steeljaw. I think this is the first time I've left the medbay since we got him back.

little brothers, huh?

Blaster came by today though, and I figured it'd be good to give them some space to bond for a while. Jaw needs it, to remember there are still mechs apart from me who care about him and love him.

What have you been up to?

[streetpatrol]

Heh yeah...little brothers. Love 'em, but they'll drive you crazy in the end.

*Mood starts to brighten, a side effect of his quick ability to adapt to situations.* Oh me'n Air Raid have a doozy coming up that you won't wanna miss. I can't let the surprise go now though or it'll ruin it. Just...watch your computer messages in the next few days ;)

This is not going to get you in trouble with Prowl or Red Alert is it? Prowl didnt look so good when he came in the medbay yesterday.

*looks out the windows as they enter the city, keeping an optic out for what he needs.*

oh hey! Can we stop at that antique store up head for a moment?

[streetpatrol]

*Chuckles* Nah...they'll actually enjoy this one. Besides, they overreacted entirely on that paper mache and pinball machine thing three weeks ago...

*Sees the store and pulls over into a parking spot* Yeah sure. We got all day, go for it! Oh hey! If you see any big picture frames, lemme know!

[trivia_bot]

*comes back a while later with his arms full of stuff, including a picture frame that he thought Streets would like. Most of Rewind's own stuff was wrapped and packed so their true identities wouldnt be revealed. He loaded everything into the Protectobot's back seat and then climbed in.*

Alright, got what I needed from here, let's move on?

[streetpatrol]

*Streetwise pulls out once all the things were in, heading down the road again.* Sounds good, li'l bud. Where do you wanna go next? What are you lookin' for?

[trivia_bot]

Oh, just a few more places - music store, book store... And if I told you what I was looking for, then I'd have to take you offline... It's all part of a little something Steeljaw and I are planning, so you'll see soon enough.

*He settled back on Streetwise's seat, watching the town go past, and let out a sigh. He was tired, no doubt about it. Lack of proper recharge and energon, and stress about his little brother had left him rather drained.*

[streetpatrol]

Heh alright alright. Fair enough.

*As he drives he can feel the cassette halfway slumped in his seats.* You alright? I have some goodies an' rations if you're undercharged. *He opens his glove compartment and offers them to him.*

[trivia_bot]

*Rewind took one and proceeded to nibble on it slowly, leaning back in the seat again.*

I'm alright, it's just been a rough couple of days I guess - so much happening. My brother being kidnapped and tortured to madness tops all of it. I suppose it's all been a little too much...

I'm sorry... I'm ruining your mood again.

[streetpatrol]

*He turns on his radio, switching it to play a local pop station, keeping it soft so they can still talk.*

Don't worry 'bout my mood, 'Wind, I'm fine. Besides, you have had a rough week. Slag, if I were in your position, I wouldn't be taking it half as well. Just gotta remember that your brother's home. He's gonna be just fine; Aid said he's recovering faster than anyone expected. But you gotta focus on yourself too. You have recovering t' do too.

[trivia_bot]

Yeah, he's home... but look at how he came home, look at what that monster did to him. He's just a little Cassette, we're not built for that kind of treatment, we dont even have anything he wants! He just took Steeljaw because he was friends with Jazz and Mirage, and Vortex thought it would be funny!

*He realized his voice had risen and he stopped, slumping lower in the seat* Sorry... that was uncalled for.

Oh look... another stop. You dont mind if I pop out for a bit to get the remaining stuff we need.

*It was coming into early evening and though he was anxious to get back to Steeljaw, he knew he also needed some time to himself to piece himself back together again so he could help his brother.*

[streetpatrol]

*Sighs. He was never very good at this sort of thing. To Streetwise, life was lived in moments; his adaptation abilities allowed him to swiftly adjust to moods, settings, events...nearly anything. But when he got 'stuck'...that was when he had trouble coping. And right now, it looked like the little cassette was stuck too.*

No, 'Wind, it was totally called for. Scream an' yell an' cry and whatever you need. Gotta let it out if you're gonna move on from it. No use lettin' it fester.

*He pulls over and opens his door again.* Sure, whatever you need.

*As the cassette is inside he thinks on what he can do to help.*
