Fear (DEL-bot afraid and no one can tell why)

DEL-bot was curled beneath her blankets that she'd brought along to her quaters from home, she was tired unable to sleep, she sat up and slid out of bed and out of the room Tori and her shared and trudged down the corridor frowning.

((This is not when Khronos goes ballistic. This is sometime before...or just never when she has it. LOL.))

Khronos was up at this time, just making rounds through the base since she herself was bored out of her mind, and was on her break. Since no one was really up and about at this time of night, even the graveyard-shift workers or the party-goers (since most of them went out on Earth or Cybertron to party), Khronos was alone, still monitoring everything that went on-- conversations, news, activities...

Even dreaming.

Though that was an accidental thing, when Megatron heard Soundwave and Khronos talking about this even happening (to the both of them) he ordered the two COMs officers to start doing it.

Guess who stayed up longer than Soundwave.

So, as Khronos walked around, she noticed DEL-bot walking around. "DEL?" she called out, incredulous to the fact that the tiny femme was walking around. She seemed upset about something, and a bit panicky from the way she jumped when Khronos called her name. "Is everything all right?" She took just a few strides forward and was looming over the femme, staring at her.

DEL-bot knew from experience Khrono's could tell when she was lying... she tried it anyway, she smiled up at the larger femme (well she was large compaired to herself being only 5'2ft tall) and nodded.
"I'm fine... just can't sleep." Del said before walking onward

Khronos nodded sarcastically, her optics narrowing. "Yeah, sure," she said. "And I'm Megatron. Now spill." She slammed her hand in front of DEL so she couldn't move farther, literally creating a wall in front of the tinier femme.

Del squeaked a bit, many 'cons forgot just how strong they really were, and how easily Del could be alarmed, Del looked at Khrono's frowning.
"Can you Pleeeeaaase not do that, you made me jump, I'm fine you know." Del whined flding her arms pouting, a form of body language she'd learnt from her human comrad Simon

Khronos scowled further. "Me scaring you or not doesn't matter, you're already jumpy as-is. Just tell me, or I will send you to Hook or Soundwave to get you to talk."

She meant it, too. She could just as easily read DEL's mind if she wanted to...but something was telling her it'd be a bad idea.

"Not from my daily spy reports. your actions suggest otherwise," Hackblast said appearing out of the dark. he had been assigned to be the observer of DEL and Tori as their powers, abilities, and skills developed.

Del jerked as soon as Hackblast appered then glared at him.
"Why do you ALWAYS pop outta nowhere!" Del complained, "Listen I-am-a-coward, if something shows that I'm acting funny, then I'm just jumpy! It happens with age now get off my case!" Del turned on her heel and walked the opposite direction to the pair

"something's bugging her," Hackblast said plainly.

Khronos slammed another hand down, causing DEL to jump again and glare at her once more. Still, it didn't faze her.

Del blinked then scowlled at them grinding her teeth.
"I want to go for a walk, if you want to tick me off it can wait till I get back." Del growled

"Careful of what you say," Hackblast warned her.

Tori coughed loudly at the two bots after Del had left. "You dorks...Always with the scare tactics. Ever try high grade or bribery?" She rubbed her eye sleepy.

((Major deja vu... I've seen this somewhere before.))

"Where did you come from?" Hackblast asked.

"Light footsteps. Helps when you only weigh 150 lbs." Tori grinned.

Khronos smirked at this. She just called Hackblast heavy.

Tori smacked her lips, "How about that high grade? I could use a jolt"

((Strangely enough. I weight 150 lbs in real life. weird how coincidences like that happen.))

Hackblast flexed his visor (equivalent to rolling eyeballs or optics)

Del had snuck off while they talked, she couldn't exit the base but she crawled into the vents

Tori turned, "if you guys won't come with I'll go out on my own."

Hackblast's horn twitched. "Shh... I hear something..."

Khronos reached into the vents, pulling DEL back out as she glared up at the Archaic.

Del scowlled in her palm trying to kick her

Khronos laughed as she closed her hand around DEL to calm her.

Tori had run off this time, one reason being she heard it too, the other was for some booze and a smoke.
