WHO: Dead End & Miko
WHERE: The Junkpile.
WHEN After Glyphless event?
WHAT: Miko looks through the junk pile. Finds a brightly coloured Decepticon instead of what she's looking for. Dead End wasn't really looking for a human kid either.
WARNINGS: None.

He's hungry. Not starving, but certainly hungry. Although these days it isn't often for him to not be hungry. Energon barely does a thing, and sure Wheeljack will spare him and provide a meal, but it's only partial and not nearly as filling as if he were to get an entire power core. One power core can only fill him for so long, and only part of one? Not nearly long enough.

So he's hungry. Nothing new there. Sure he could give the Wrecker a call, but with all the chaos going around and bots dying left, right and center, he might just be able to nab a full meal. And who would miss another bot with such chaos? Probably no one, would even notice that he was the one to kill this potential victim. It was perfect, but more importantly it was a meal.

If he could find anyone still trudging around in the junk pile anyway.

Maybe luck would finally like him for once.

Maybe.

"I can stay out from under foot really well." How else was she alive?

She puffed up and tried to look intimidating.

"We are tougher than we may seem."

"Accidents happen." How long could the human's luck last after all? Sooner or later someone was bound to step on her, if she hadn't already died some other way. And in battle you didn't exactly watch where you stepped.

No way this kid would last.

"But not that tough."

He didn't need to go to Earth to understand that.

She sticks her tongue out at him and blows a raspberry.

"I'll show you. I'm just gonna keep on surviving, and then we will see who's right."

"You won't be."

Not that he's trying to continue arguing with her, but things always end badly, it was only a matter of time. Sure the kid's luck was probably a million times better than his, but she was dealing with Wreckers. Lucky bots, but that luck had only lasted so long for most of them. It'd rub off on her.

"Shouldn't you think about doing some human things instead?"

"Human things... like surviving?"

She looks at him like he had just suggested she walk out to the bottom of the lake.

"I was actually around here looking to see if I could find anything neat. If you want to go I'm not going to stop you."

"Uh... Sure?"

Yes. Like surviving. He guesses? Really what do you say to that, to some human that definitely has the Wreckers' hard head.

"Anything neat?" He questions, looking around for a moment.

"Like all the stuff here that could crush you?"

Because there were a lot of big things around. She was probably going to get crushed by just looking.

"Not yet, but you know, not all this stuff is just going to kill me."

This guy is a nervous wreck, wasn't he? She decided to see if she could freak him out.

She moved a little to the side and 'slipped' a bit, letting out a scream at the time.

"Everything call kill you, if the circumstances are right."

Really, he's seen things you wouldn't believe. Or his imagination when it comes to death is completely out of control... Possibly both.

Not that he has any time to explain his thoughts as the little human kid is slipping and screaming, and he can't help but jump. Wings perked as he missteps and falls backward.

Congrats Miko, you found the easiest Decepticon to defeat.

She recovers from the fake slip and watches the Decepticon, unable to keep herself as she starts laughing at the image.

"You fell for that?! Oh slag that is too funny!"

And she continues laughing, not paying attention to what kind of reaction the bot might be having to her laughing at him.
