Poor Rewind is one of Blaster's cassettes. He did not expect to be on the bridge for that call. That his conjux was a deep cover agent who got discovered and Domesticated by the DJD. Dominus is being returned in a prisoner exhange. He's torn between horror, elation, and bouncing through random stages of greif like a supper bouncy ball on speed.
Pharma showing up with the bitty in his cockpit to prisoner exchange. He's at least had a cursory wipe down but he still has smudges of purple. Pharma has no idea how he even feels about the bitty other than relieved it's not purple. As he's being walked to the halfway point Soundwave hands him an energon spattered crate. "Recompense offered: fulfills Deceticon law." It has Tarn's vaulve array, gestational tank still attached. Pharma just looks at him like dafuk? "Explanation: Gladiators forced to carry or stud sparklings pre-war. Decepticon law: Pharma entitled to salient anatomy from Tarn." Pharma looks dully at Soundwave "Why?" "Target Practice: comon. Ritual Smelting: very popular. Interface aid: strongly discouraged but occurs."
Ratchet's bustling Pharma and the bitty into the medical bay prety when Prowl and OP show up to debrief. Not only are they dodging wrenches, poor Dominus is seting up a fearful ruckus in his crate, but Pharma sees Prowl and pounces bitty still in his cockpit.
"You! You! Yooouuu! This is all your fault! You knew the DJD were there! You're Prowl! You had toooo!" This is the first flash of emotion to break through Pharma's flat dull affect. Optimus is able to keep him from from clawing Prowl's optics out while Ratchet chaces Prowl out of the medbay. Once Prowl is out of sight Optimus has his arms full of a sobbing jet.
Yep, oh rewind
I mean... it's (slightly) (slightlyy) better circumstances than canon? And i feel like Doms will live this time around
I. shit they barely cleaned him up, that's gotta be such a feeling to be Pharma.
*choking noises* soundwaveee
No mercy for Tarn
wow this au's dark, we are evil
So Tarn's been spayed n neutered
Target practice: common is gonna stick with me today because may i suggest this option for Pharma.
Ratchet being an MVP like soundwave
PROWL
Oppy's here for him, Prowl's gonna have to answer some unhappy questions soon enough
