Prompt: "I could do with a little help here"


Ratchet snarled as his fingers slipped in the energon spurting from the lines he was trying to seal off. Windcharger was leaking out badly, and Ratchet feared that he wouldn't be able to halt the outflow of energon before Windcharger went into pump failure. He looked up and saw Hound nearby.

"Hound! Get over here!" Ratchet barked, his fingers still moving within Windcharger's internals.

Hound trotted over, dropping to his knees on the other side of Windcharger.

"Yeah, Ratchet?" Hound asked.

Pulling out a handful of clamps, Ratchet dropped them in Hound's hand. "Here. I can't move fast enough, I could use a little help."

Hound didn't waste any time, setting to clamping off the leaks he could find as quickly as possible, which allowed Ratchet to hook Windcharger up to a bag of energon. They worked methodically, Hound clamping off leaks and Ratchet following behind, welding the worst of the leaks. Finally Windcharger was stabilized. By now, the battle was over, and Ratchet loaded Windcharger into Optimus' trailer, then helped load the rest of the wounded to take back to the Ark.

Once there, Wheeljack helped with triage, while Hoist worked on the wounded and Ratchet prepped Windcharger for surgery. The team worked quickly, but with they'd been doing this so long there was little communication needed as each member of the team worked on his appointed tasks.

Finally, Ratchet finished repairing Windcharger and closed his plating back up. The rest of the injured had been repaired and sent on their way. The medical team cleaned up the medbay, and Ratchet, looking around at the cleaned room and the recharging minibot, reflected that he wouldn't be able to do nearly as good a job as he did without all the help and support he'd gotten from his comrades and friends.
