Day three. Meet and Greet!

[random_xtras]

Vector Prime tries to scowl and defend his side from Optimus' fingers as he sends out the com message on all frequencies.

//All hands report to the mess hall in (ten minutes) to meet your teammates. Thank you.//

Then he groans and grabs his younger sister's wrist. "Optimus...."

"Hey, you said you needed some help waking up." She grins at him.

"Waking up can be accomplished with proper usage of energy. My being tormented is unnecessary."

"Maybe." She chuckles as he lets go of her, then turns to the door to greet the first arrivals.

He blinks, then looks at her with wry affection in his blue optics. "I've seen plenty of femmes. But none of them went by 'Optimus'."

Desinex scowls a bit, not quite sure what to make of the mech's expression, "Could'a fooled me."

[random_xtras]

His grin is full of boyish charm, despite his vorns. "At my age I couldn't not have seen them."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

The scowl deepens, and Desinex moves away slightly, suddenly wary of the mech. "Is that so..."

[random_xtras]

Lumen sees her wariness and sighs, his grin fading. "At ease, I'm safe. The Desinex of my reality was my commanding officer for a few hundred vorns."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

"..." Desinex's expression turns to one of puzzlement, before she hesitantly asks, "Who are you?"

[random_xtras]

"My name's Lumen," he replies quietly. The WakeJumper and Eclipse of my reality were my creators."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

"..." Desinex glances over to where WakeJumper is scolding Fallstreak, a pained expression crossing her face momentarily.

[random_xtras]

"Hey." Lumen frowns with concern. "What's that for?"

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

"The greenhorn...I knew he had a femme in his life..." Desinex's expression is filled with regret. "D...does he know about you?"

[random_xtras]

"Oh yeah." Lumen gives a soft chuckle. "I spent the night whipping his aft at pool and trying to show him how it's really done."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

"..." Whatever Desinex was expecting, clearly it wasn't that. "Oh..." The former Decepticon tried to figure out what to say next, but couldn't think of anything else to ask, except... "Wait....is the Greenhorn here the same one from your reality?"

[random_xtras]

"No." Lumen shakes his head. "Showtime died in his reality."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

"...Oh...slag..." Desinex is starting to shake now. Lumen's words confirmed what she feared regarding WakeJumper.

[random_xtras]

"Hey... Desi?" He steps closer, a hand going out in offer of comfort as his optics darken with concern.

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Desinex flinches a bit at the old nickname, turning her head away from Lumen. "Don't...S...she was the only one allowed to call me that...I..."

[random_xtras]

"Don't give me that slag," he says gently but firmly. "You may not be my Aunt Desi, but you look and sound too much like her for me to just stand here and watch you suffer. Hound would come back from the Well and kick my ancient aft for it. And so would Aunt Show and the Twins."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Desinex flinches, optics towards the floor, "I don't deserve...I'm...I'm the reason our Showtime is dead..."

[random_xtras]

"And let me guess. That's the reason you're dead?" Lumen puts a hand on her shoulder.

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

Desinex flinches a bit, fighting the urge to smack Lumen's hand away. "..." after a few moments, the former Decepticon nods, "I ended it..."

[random_xtras]

He shakes his head. "Showtime's probably cussing her head off right now."

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

"Not likely. She's probably laughing her aft off at me even as we speak." Desinex scowls, trying to hide the pain she still feels.

[random_xtras]

"I doubt it. Laughing at people was your job," he counters.

[dens-extra-pups.livejournal.com]

"...You're trying to pull my servo...if laughing at people was 'my' job, then what was Showtime's?"

[random_xtras]

"Helping Streaker and Swiper prank the higher ups." His mouth twitches slightly at the memory.
