[if you look upon the The Fussin' Overlook™  this lovely afternoon, you will notice a giant robot standing with his hands idly on his hips with a serene expression on his face, quietly enjoying the sunset]

[it's also raining like fuck, but he doesn't seem to care.]

[onlyhonournow]

[his optics blink in and out and he rubs a hand down his face]

I think I've been out here too long.

[wingedjustice]

Maybe we both have. I know for sure this isn't the Well of the AllSpark.

[onlyhonournow]

[can a giant robot look like he just melted?]

... You're offline. I killed you.

[wingedjustice]

[okay, you know what? Stepping into the rain and whacking you hard]

I know exactly how I died. And I died for Crystal City.

[onlyhonournow]

[what the slag my hallucination just hit me :(, shrinking a little in surprise]

If it wasn't for me--if I hadn't been there, if I hadn't gotten you involved...

[wingedjustice]

I chose to be involved. It's who I am. You know that.

[onlyhonournow]

I... don't know what you are.

[wingedjustice]

[...]

What do you think I am?

[onlyhonournow]

... A product of my processor. To remind me of what I've done.

[wingedjustice]

[TOTALLY CRACKING UP]

[onlyhonournow]

. . .

What's so funny?

[wingedjustice]

Really, Drift. I'm not here to haunt you or remind you. Though I am curious as to what you've done with yourself since I died.

[onlyhonournow]

... [doesn't say anything, just holds out a hand tentatively]

[wingedjustice]

[touches it, before grasping it]

[onlyhonournow]

[...kiiind of just leaves it there limply, staring]

After... the battle, I freed the prisoners. Like I promised you.

[wingedjustice]

Did you bring them home?

[onlyhonournow]

... Yes. I made sure of it.

[wingedjustice]

Thank you.

[onlyhonournow]

[managing a smile, and his fingers curl a bit against Wing's hand]

I promised you, didn't I?

[wingedjustice]

I knew you'd do it.

[onlyhonournow]

... You know, I was angry with you all this time.

[wingedjustice]

What did I do?

[onlyhonournow]

[... chuckling]

Because I never beat you.

[wingedjustice]

You can try now.

[onlyhonournow]

... what?
