On being reserved

Let me get this straight. You drop me from one game that happens to have a good chunk of the team there, just to throw me at another that...doesn't.

No, great, thanks. Appreciate it.

Hey, let's not mix realities. I've got a hard enough time keepin' track of the three on their own.

...

Won't be the same. Pretty sure you'd say that if it was me.

[Or not.]

[robotfightclub]

[What part of stop it don't you get?]

...Yeah, you're right. Sounds like something I'd say.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Sorry, there's no stopping this feels train.]

I'll keep an eye on things for ya. Make sure things don't go up in smoke.

[Because you're really the best choice for that, Wheeljack.]

[robotfightclub]

[Yeah, seriously. She'd point that out if it wasn't for the fact that he made her sad.]

Wish things went better between us. Could've fixed that.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[He's not really good with words, but he's definitely going to try.]

Hey...not like we don't see each other.

Besides, we both know how much of a pain in the aft I am.

[robotfightclub]

[Gold star for trying.]

Really wanted to rip your head off a few times.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Probably deserved it.

[There's a slight chuckle, giving her arm a gentle nudge.]

You'd have to get behind a few others first.

[robotfightclub]

Oh no, I'd push them out of the way. You really think I'd wait in line for something like that?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Finally, I'd get a challenge.

About time.

[robotfightclub]

[As much as she loves all the Wheeljack-style flattery, and it was really working too, she knows in the end that nothing's going to change.]

Right, a challenge. If I were still there.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Yeah, it was a good distraction, if briefly...]

Guess I'll just have to wait til we see each other again. Won't let anyone get a punch in before then.

[robotfightclub]

Thanks, Wheeljack...

[If that's even a thing you thank people for. She pauses.]

I'm sorry. About everything.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...Yeah.


Me too.

[He puts a hand on her shoulder a moment, nudging it once again.]

[robotfightclub]

[Awkward teammate hug?]
