Silence hung heavy in the med-bay, broken only by the low hum of machinery and the sharp hiss of shifting metal. Cliffjumper lay sprawled across the berth, a jagged landscape of dented red plating and exposed wiring. The Decepticons’ cruelty had left its mark—deep gouges in his chassis, a cracked faceplate, and a missing horn lying somewhere in the wreckage behind him. His cyan optics flickered, dim and strained, before finally focusing. He pushed himself up, servos whining in protest, the pain a harsh, throbbing constant. His gaze swept the room until it landed on you, the one who had pulled him from the brink. Vulnerability warred with pride in his expression, but he forced himself to sit upright, ignoring the agony.
