This Ship Is Taking Me Far Away
Who: Wheeljack and Leatherhead
What: Stargazing fun and what not
Where: Roaming park
When: Sometime at night
[When they fished through the remains of the Friendship District, Wheeljack told Leatherhead about the stars. With his life in the sewers and the constant air pollution, the ex-gator never got a chance to see it.
But Wheeljack offered to show it to him, and with someone like Wheeljack, Leatherhead didn't even think to refuse. The adult ex-Cybertronian took him under his wing.
At sundown, he showed up at the place he said they'd meet, the park. Duke came along, just for the sake of looking for an opportunity to show off his use to the big guy.
Together they sat on a bench, waiting for the ex-robot to show up.]

well...him.
There's no more words, lying back to look at the stars too. After all, this wasn't his conversation.]
I don't blame you...that sounds so awful...
You have to do what's right for you, Leatherhead. But we'll be behind you, know that.
no subject
I hope we can have a choice...I hope Michelangelo stays with me.
no subject
There's a 'Hmm' of encouragement, continuing to look at the stars. They were always constant, even here.
It was enough for him.]
no subject
I have a life here...back on Earth...on Dimension X, I have nothing but Michelangelo...
And I am not sure if we will remember once we return.
no subject
We better.
Places like this are push n' pull. Like cosmic shores. Everythin' it takes when the tide comes in, it always gives somethin' back.
no subject
Do you think so?
I would not give up my memories here for anything.
no subject
[That head turns towards the kid, a smirk slowly spread across his face.]
Ya know what? Me neither. We got good deals here--second chances.
no subject
Did you have this many people around you before this place?
It is nice.
no subject
Once. Back when I was in the Wreckers. Band of brothers and all.
...speaking of. Wanted to ask you somethin'.
no subject
[Before he can dwell on the memory leak, he turns to the Wrecker.]
...yes?
no subject
...
[He pulls his jacket collar down, showing a tattoo of the Autobot symbol on the back of his neck.]
See this?
no subject
It is a symbol of your group?
no subject
[His voice drops a bit, obviously still trying to get over this next part.]
Magnus...you know. Autobots.
no subject
You are Autobots?
no subject
Right.
Back home, we all got this symbol somewhere on us. To show allegiance.
...
Wanna know if you want one.
no subject
Before this place I had never belonged to anyone...
But now...I wish to belong...and maybe it shall remind me of my time here...
[It's just a small hope, that's all.]
no subject
We'll get ya one, kid.
But consider yourself one of us now.
no subject
So let him substitute hugs for words. He gets up to deliver a small one to Wheeljack, happy tears streaming down his eyes.]
no subject
This was okay.]
no subject
Thank you...for letting me into your family...
no subject
You made your own way.
