EVERYBODY RUN

[aerospacecommander]

WHO: DW!Starscream and OPEN
WHERE: All around outside, going from place to place.
WHEN Right after the event starts and he manages to make it out of Megatronus' temple.
WHAT: Giant Starscream.
WARNINGS: ... Giant Starscream?


Starscream expected a lot of things. Jetfire blankly staring at him over something he said. Someone hanging up on him over something else he said. People not trusting him over who he was. People finding him incredibly handsome.

The usual sorts of things.

He did not expect to come out of recharge and find himself to be twice as big as usual. At first he considered that the room shrunk but that was just a silly idea. And he considered calling (Jetfire) for help, but after a strange and rather awkward struggle he managed to make it out of his room.

And then out of the temple.

He didn't know how, or why, but his first actual thought was:

I could crush Megatron at this size.

Sometimes he did have a one track mind even if his own Megatron was dead (as far as he knew). Still, while he was confused, he was actually almost happy. Those (Jetfire) who used their size against him before, couldn't anymore and he was totally going to take advantage of it.

So anyone who happened to be outside at the time of his wandering would not only clearly notice a giant Starscream, but one who was laughing maniacally to the sky.

Because now, size was everything.

Revenge for something you brough onto yourself, Starscream!

Since he wasn't currently inclined to fight free; there was no reason for it, and while Starscream was being annoying, he wasn't hurting him. Rubbing a hand over his faceplates, Jetfire allowed a single static sigh to express what he felt.

"Probably not, as they've been very hand's off so far, and even the... er, goings on at the moment haven't appeared to attract any attention as of yet..." He didn't really appreciate the way his legs hung free in the air as it were at the moment, but anything else would require a different position or kicking the Seeker carrying him.

"Starscream, honestly. For how long are you going to do this?" It was hard not to squirm, but in the end he managed to keep it to just twisting in the hold, attempting to get a better angle to look up at Starscream.

"Until I get bored."

Which with Starscream could be a matter of minutes or days. He shifted Jetfire in his grasp a little bit before jumping into the air and igniting his thrusters.

It looked like they were going to go on a little of flying.

Only Jetfire was being held like a toy instead of allowed to fly freely.

"I think my size growth is the result on ... oh what is that human term ... ah! Karma catching up with you. It was about time that I was bigger than your ego."

Yeah, he actually meant that last part.

[angleofscience]

"Until you... Starscream." That was a groan and a chuckle in one, laced together over two different pitches, perfectly counterpointed. Sometimes, there's no other way to react to his frustrating Seeker as he rested an elbow on Starscream's arm and hid his face in that hand.

Grunting softly as Starscream decided to move him again, and this time attempting to keep his chosen position and spot (slightly unsuccessful), his amusement was tempered by the fact that Starscream apparently thought this was an excellent time to go flying. With him still in his grasp.

He wasn't sure he liked this plan.

"... I'd wonder, between the two of us, whose ego is the largest, and considering yours isn't the only... curious thing to have happened recently, I doubt it's anything relating to our usual size difference." Jetfire pushed at the arm keeping his trapped as he'd really rather fly on his own.

Not that he didn't trust Starscream to keep him marginally safe like this (especially as he could fly on his own if dropped), but that wasn't the point.

"Are you quite done? I'm sure we could do something more interesting than you carrying me all this time."

[aerospacecommander]

"Maybe. No -- actually you're right. We should go see about that map."

Starscream released Jetfire from his grasp after that, effectively dropping him, though it wasn't as if he'd just crash or anything. He then transformed into his jet mode and took off in a random directly.

/So where's your clone hanging out?/

Since he had the map and all. And no, Starscream didn't really wait for Jetfire. And probably wouldn't wait for him after he was given any sort of information.

[angleofscience]

That was-- unexpected. Mostly because he's thought it'd take a lot more to make Starscream release him, but it didn't matter really. He hadn't even fallen his own length before flight systems started up and stopped his descent.

/Not in that direction, anyway./ Jetfire said with a shake of his helm - mostly to himself, since Starscream had already shot off. In an absolutely randomly chosen direction. Was he even considering which Firstforged Skyfire was marked by and thus where he might be likely to be unless he was out and about?

Jetfire just crossed his arms over his chestplates and waited.

[aerospacecommander]

Oh.

/You could have said something./

Starscream mostly ignores that it was his own fault for randomly taking off, but he has a bigger engine now and has to test things out. Like speed differences and etc.

But he does make a wide turn and eventually come back around to where Jetfire was waiting.

"So which way?"

[angleofscience]

Drifting close enough to be able to reach out and lay a hand against the very large nosecone, Jetfire just shook his helm. He vaguely wondered if Starscream had taken off just to flex his new systems as it were, or if it was just his usual tendency to go off when he didn't already have a plan.

"I'll ask where he is, but you could do the same you know. Are you having fun?" Stalling? Maybe. Not that he wasn't intensely interested in what Skyfire had found as well, but despite the particular little annoyances being in Starscream's precense brought - especially now, as he'd noticed - Jetfire didn't (couldn't) really mind.
