[Ah, here we have the not-so-illusive Sideswipe. Fresh, red hot angry teenager for you, Moira. All those blue lights on his armor glowing hotly. Here is a robot child with a bone to pick.]

[He's standing outside his room -- if anyone knows for sure where that is, and... bristling. As much as a guy covered in armor can bristle.]

Okay! So, hey, are we done arresting each other for stupid stuff?

[Sideswipe 'mutiny' isn't stupid--]

Because, I gotta say, if anyone else has a problem with Riptide? You're gonna take it up with me! That's right. Me.

[A guy who looks more like a beanpole than a warrior.]

The great Earth-Cop Sideswipe! Team Bee's finest! And Riptide's mine to handle, so there. No one else gets any other ideas about dragging him anywhere, no matter your universe. Unless you want to get sideswiped.

Out the airlock.


...

Oh yeah also, if you're tiny and organic and some idiot the size of a building starts throwing down? Page me. I'll be your one-way-ticket out of smashville.

You can support him without aggravating everyone who may or may not end up killed because of his actions. This is still serious, even if we don't know what happened.

...have you tried to visit him?

private;

[redshitlord]

Tch, like anyone's taking me seriously.

... yeah. He said go away.

[Ratchet sighs.]

I'll talk to him, Sideswipe.

private;

[redshitlord]

I'm not gonna give up though.

So. If you do talk to him -- don't say that.



He treated me like I mattered. Like I wasn't just a stupid punk. I'm gonna repay it.

[Ratchet just watches Sideswipe for a long moment, his expression difficult to read but his blue optics intent.]

He's lucky to have someone like you. You both are.

private;

[redshitlord]

Yeah well.

Tell that to Ultra Fatness.

[asafepairofhands]

Now, now.

[Ratchet bites hard at the inside of his cheek to keep from snorting a laugh.]

Upsetting Magnus isn't going to help Riptide one bit. And anyway, that larger set of armor is new, he's usually smaller.

...



So he got fatter.

He really is Ultra Fatness.

[asafepairofhands]

I think you're confusing 'fatter' with 'bigger and meaner', which is dangerous.

[redshitlord]

I dunno he looked pretty chunky to me.
