Back with the catformers colony au~
The colony is not really doing well but they're managing. After a lot of trial and error Perceptor and a lot of the other smartest cats figured out how to differentiate between the poisoned food and food that was safe to eat and have endeavored to teach everyone in the colony how to avoid them.
Megatron has taken to patrolling the perimeter of the colony keeping an eye out for any of the dogs that were set loos in the area in an attempt to run them out. As one of the biggest and toughest cats he has a better chance of holding them off than anyone else.
Tho many speculate that he's also avoiding Rodimus and their kitten. Still filled with shame for the unknowing part he played in Rodimus' illness that led to the loss of most of the rest of the little. He still checks in on them to make sure theyre cared for but he hasn't come near them in awhile.
Rodimus tries to persevere through it even though the loss of most of his litter has effected him greatly. Thankfully the colony has thrown their full support behind him.
MInimus has taken to accompanying Megatron on his patrols. Tho Megatron tends to hate dogs hes made an unexpected exception for Minimus and has found himself confiding things to him he doesn't confide in the other cats.
Bumblebee has taken to joining Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker on hunting expeditions to find food that was guranteed safe for the colony to eat.
Cliffjumper meanwhile has kept up a constant vigil on a recovering Hound. Making sure hes eating, getting water, and grooming him. Even as he physically recovers Hound cant help but ask if Cliffjumper has seen Mirage around. Naturally the answer is no.
Hound begins to wonder if he did something to make Mirage upset. Or if now that hes sick Mirage doesnt like him anymore. Or perhaps never cared that much in the first place.
Cliffjumper is... conflicted. On the one hand he has Hound all to himself again but on the other... well MIrage DID care about Hound. He can't really deny that. Working with the colony to cure him and then risking his hide to distact that beast when getting the medicine more or less proves that. So he can't help but also wonder why mirage disappeared to.
Meanwhile, far off, Shockwave thinks hes finally found a good place for the colony to settle.
Aaahhhhh thank you!!!!!
Megs….are you cheating 👀👀👀
