+ (Metro) Wants to talk.
Breakdown had been driving on patrol as he had taken as a habit of doing though this time was very different, he hadn’t expected to see what looked something like a ground bridge then for a bot to come through. Were they friendly, whose side were they on, where did they come from? He had so many questions now.
Metro looked at the picture for only a moment. fear and dread rushing through him. This couldn’t be his liege, but he felt familiar. Those eyes were the same as knew them. Metro turned to Optimus requesting the datapad back. he enlarged the picture of his liege. bringing the photo to the screen. He looked at one then the other back and forth. The eyes were the exact same. Metro put his servos to his intake. He had never felt so afraid of Megatron. He felt sick. How could that be the same bot who read poetry with him? taught him everything he knows. That he cared so much for. He was trying to think of something, anything to say. he couldn’t find the words. He was so scared. “He has those s-same red eyes, but th-that can’t be h-him. He looks s-so evil. ” His vocal processor hardly able to get the words out. Metro fell to his knees, clutching the datapad as if it were the only thing keeping him from madness. “I d-don’t understand any of th-this”
Optimus gave the data pad back as soon as Metro wanted it, the pad wasn’t Optimus’ anyway so he wouldn’t keep it way from who it belonged to. Everyone looked at Metro as he looked between the two images of two bots who carried the same designation, none of them expected Metro to fall to his knees.
Optimus and Breakdown went to help Metro back onto his peds Optimus speaking first. “Megatron looked similar to that when I first met him as he was a gladiator.” Optimus explained since he had known Megatron before the war but Megatron had changed his appearance a bit after the war started. Breakdown then spoke. “Dark Energon can give a more evil look to a bit but Megatron has looked like that ever since I knew him. I met him a bit before Cybertron died.” Breakdown said helping Metro up though he knew he could hold up Metro by himself at least for a time if he needed but he didn’t mind just being there to hold and help the mech however he could.
Metro vented heavily, steadying himself. he was grateful for the assistance. He felt so weak right now, so confused at all the crazy information. “c-could I h-have a little e-Energon. p-p-please” He needed to calm down. so much going through his mind. he had to figure out what was happening. and to do that he needed energy. he tried to move away from both of the bots thinking he could move on his only to misstep and fall back once more.
Optimus didn't even have to think before he answered. "Yes, of course. Bumblebee, could you get a cube of energon?"
Bee nodded and made a sound before rushing off to get their guest some energon.
They let him try to move away though at seeing him fall again they both moved as fast as they could in the hops of holding him up again or at least slowing him down so that he wouldn't hit the floor so hard, they were worried about him now since he was having trouble like this they wondered if showing him the image of Megatron was a mistake.
