PEN YOUR NUMBER ROLLS ARE UNCANNY

Skyfire + Altman

No more Kings - Michael (Jump in) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp6o5I99Idw)

It wasn't hard to convince them to come back with him when the rift became stable. They really had nowhere else to go.

The Autobots could always use more engineers and Ratchet had been more than grateful to take them all under his wing. Altman had been apprehensive about his usefulness to them, though Skyfire had been sure to do his best to quash those doubts before they became something that ate at him. His organizational skills were more than sufficient to earn his keep, and many of the Autobots treat him like a personal car wash.

The shuttle often tells him that he's much too nice and he shouldn't let them trouble him for it, though he says he doesn't mind.

Today, he watches Alejandro leave with Hound, Isaac goes with Gears and Vandal with Tracks as usual.

Michael joins Skyfire in the lab and is deposited on the mech's shoulder. It's strange, a little, how inseparable they are. Mirage jokes that Skyfire has a human fetish and he wouldn't be too far from the truth, but nobody needs to know that now. There's no point to it. He's happy enough to have Altman as his human companion along with the engineers. Though they seem to have picked favorites as well.

They work in silence for a while and he's taught Altman how to run the scanners (he gets along with Perceptor, too), but when his commlink patches him through to Prime requesting air-support it's that drop-everything kind of moment.

"The Cons are cooking something up over in Florida," Skyfire explains as he heads out the side-door, "You coming?"

"This isn't my cup of tea," Altman responds, crossing his arms an looking up at the behemoth of a mech. He can remember when he used to feel small just standing next to him as a human. He would have never imagined.

"When in Rome..." Skyfire prompts him, and Altman gives in with a shrug. It never takes much convincing.

"Fine, but I don't want to be a liability."

"You're not a liability. You're moral support," Skyfire has become very quick to counter him.

Before Altman can argue he's being lifted and placed in the pilot's seat as Skyfire transforms to his vehicle mode and takes off.
