::That’s true! We’ve got some good medics here. Guess I don’t gotta worry about you!:: After all, he’s seen those medics how many times now himself?
::Alright- sounds good to me. Let me know if you need anything sooner, though. You gonna be able to handle your own work okay?::
::Soundwave and my soldiers are more than capable of picking up any slack. For now I must only rest until this passes.::
So many Autobots concerned for his well being. Is that progress?
::No attacks, and I don’t need a medbay. Just… rest. This has happened before, I will be well enough again in a day or so..::
::Okay, that’s good… I’ll let you rest– wait, it’s happened before? You’re sure it’s gonna be okay? It might not be bad to check with a medic, just to be safe.::
::I’ll be fine. Our medics are thorough.:: Though they are inexperienced with sparks healing from what should have been fatal direct hits.
::Give me a few days. I have been in need of a sparring match.::
::N-no.:: To both of those questions. ::Give me a few days, Smokescreen.::
Hopefully I’ll be calmer then, he thinks.
::… Wait- you’re not doing okay? What happened? No one tried to attack you again, right? … I won’t visit if you really don’t want, but I wanna make sure you don’t need emergency care or anything.::
He partially feels like he shouldn’t be worrying about Megatron of all bots, but still- if he’s getting hurt by Unicron or by the dark energon or something, that could hurt everyone. That’s how he’s rationalizing it.

ask-smokescreen replied to your post:
Oh- Megatron responded! It would’ve helped if he planned on something before, ::Hey! Megatron- uh. You up for maybe sparring?::
Considering he’s currently bracing himself against the desk…
::Not now. Perhaps in a few days, I am… busy.::
::Oh- fair enough. … You doing okay? Could I visit?::
::N-no.:: To both of those questions. ::Give me a few days, Smokescreen.::

He pings back, servo covering his face.
::What.::
The best case would be seeing Cybertron thrive. Mechs taking up positions not dictated by their alt-modes but by their ability, by their passion. Free to take up new frames as they see fit, free to challenge their leaders, speak their minds. The war so far in the past that Autobot and Decepticon have no meaning. I doubt that I will live to see it, but I will at least attempt to set us on that course.
Worst case… Unicron returning before we are prepared, claiming Soundwave and I as his vessels and laying waste to what remains of our species as I am forced to watch.
Megatron blinks. Did something intelligent come out of Smokescreen’s mouth?
“…I believe that could be arranged. Especially with the recovery of the Hall of Records, we have material that could be dispensed. The only thing would we need to organize is where, what would be taught, and who would teach.”
You have had it removed from your frame twice.
But- it’s not for me, I swear.
Whether it is for you or not does not concern me. You will not be given access to my supply, nor will anyone else who is not already infused with it. The potential for disaster is too great.
…
I guess so- it is a pretty bad reason for trying to do that. Sorry.
But what’s a good way to get back at Airachnid without using that stuff?
…
*No, bad Megatron. If she became connected to Unicron she could become a puppet of his and an even bigger threat.*
Attacking her directly is unwise. Assassins require caution and planning to catch. It is unwise to do so on your own. In the meantime, disengage. Her words are only words.
No.
