#Boulder is a paramedic rescue bot who met him by accident and helps him

Outlier!Au

"AHG! Watch out!"

"Your arm is almost open" Boulder took again Heatwave's arm with care but steady, so, he wouldn't retire it again

"At least be more careful!"

"I'm as careful as possible, you're just too negligent with it" Boulder said, always with calm, compared to Heatwave's resonating voice "I'm still wandering how it didn't rust on all this time"

"I'm still wondering why you're still here"

Both bots shut down, not looking at each other, actually, Boulder just acted like it didn't matter and continued with their business on Heatwave's arm, more accomplished to his grumpy non-sense than the first day, weird, it usually scare them away and go without a word or a speech but today Boulder was quiet and concentrated, maybe Heatwave just needed a new way

"Did you run out of ideas?"

"Eh?" Heatwave ask for the weird question after a strange silence

"Finally! You had been acting like a sparkling since you came" Boulder replied contemptuously

"How do you dare?" Heatwave yelled with anger

"How do YOU dare?" Boulder said sarcastically "I'm just helping you without complain, how is that so hard for you to accept?"

"I don't need it- AHG!! FRAG!" A hugging ache surrounded Heatwave's arm, distracting him of his anger and making his chassis and the rest of his limbs twist "WHAT THE FRAG HAPPENS WITH YOU!!"

"Just a little..." Boulder lay down on a keg of water the hot plate and with a pair of medical tweezers finally united the metal of the arm, sticking it with a special glue "done" they got away "how is it?"

"Burning" Heatwave let out a growl and a killer gaze "why you didn't told me you had to burn me?!"

"You said you could resist it"

"I DIDN'T KNEW YOU HAD TO BURN MY FRAGGING ARM"

"If you accepted the anesthesia, you could resist it, but you are to afraid of needles"

"NEEDLES ARE POINTY!"

"Most of your weapons are pointy! For what's all that strength and that mad look when you're a coward!"

Heatwave tried to say something, but when he felt his lost look betray him, he preferred to take it away, bad decision, because when he tried to cross his arms, the sensibility on his recently healed nerves and veins under the burned metal made him growl out a thread of breath, at the same time, the hard breathing made his chest gain some pressure due to the just repaired dent, with the horrible breathing he tried to move again, meeting the stitch on his almost broken knee, frag, there wasn't any single comfortable position

"Which color do you prefer?" Boulder distract him, showing two pieces of fabric on each servo, being replied by a undignified look

"Are you kidding?" He raised an elbow

"Red will be then" Boulder said, throwing the blue one and placing the red fabric on Heatwave's shoulder, positioning his arm comfortable "tell me if it's too-"

"Gh!"

"Got it" Boulder knot the fabric, making sure it was steady, "You know? red is your color" Boulder said, looking at his grayish and old metal of Heatwave´s body, there wasn´t a single drop of color except pink splashes. Both were too close "now, let's see your optics"

"More?!" Heatwave yelled with high voice

"Yes, more! That guy you fought today was rough" Boulder got even closer, getting a little lantern from the table and turning it on

"Not enough to kill me" Heatwave hold still himself on the bright of the lantern

"Almost, you could have lost your arm or got asphyxiated by your own vents" Boulder tried to keep open the optic, but Heatwave's reflexes were stronger than they

"Yeah, yeah, things of all days" Heatwave complained sarcastically

"Are you tired?" Boulder asked, lighting the other optic

"No"

"You sure? The pupils are reacting slowly" Boulder turned off the lantern and got away from him "you should rest, I´ll see how are you in the morning"

"It´s dangerous to go alone at these hours"

"I need to be early on the station and I´m a mess thanks to you" Boulder pointed to the pink splashes on their own metal "Now do you feel better?"

"No"

"Good" Boulder told and went to a shelf, getting the slow and low voice as a yes, but Heatwave´s too proud and sarcastic to admit it, Boulder made like they were moving things on the shelf, waiting in silence... a snore got into their audial, got it. Boulder turned around and found Heatwave with closed optics and a little breath, sure, he was in pain but the tiredness was way worse, Boulder took the blue fabric, a needle, a transparent bag with liquid and support, first, Boulder put carefully the blue fabric on Heatwave´s neck to make him comfortable, then, they took Heatwave´s hand carefully and placing steady and sure the needle in the middle of the metal of the arm and the beginning of the palm, a reflex made his fingers move but not a single reaction on his face plate was made, Boulder places the bag on the support and made sure the liquid was passing through, then, Boulder supervised Heatwave´s breathing and pulse, all on the average under the situation but a little below of what Boulder wanted, the serum should act quickly though.

And, well, Heatwave was right, the surroundings of the gladiatorium were dangerous at those hours and Heatwave needed supervision, maybe stay was the best option now, and a yawn Boulder gave when they finally relaxed a little just made them more sure. Sleeping on the floor wasn´t new for them, it wasn´t cold at least and there were some fabrics on the shelf to use for comfort, finally falling asleep under the pressure of the day...

@am-addicted-to-wf-help !!!! HEAR ME OUT!!!!!

Ok, I was thinking and I just got an idea but also a coincidence that became an important part of the plot and is: ausence

The reason why I created the Outlier Au was because I wanted to make a plot where the Triplet Wave were alone, just by themselves, it was my way to think how they would be without the rest, without their normal lives, how they would live, in the first thought they were simple adventurers who escaped from Cybertron and cotidianity, but when I gave more deep into Life of Rescue Bots, I saw Cybertron was too restrictive for them to leave it behind without consequences, and I wanted some angst, that's why I made Heatwave a gladiator, which led to Shockwave and Soundwave to have a quiet life, Shocky as a bartender on the lower colonies and Sune as just someone who gets paid to repair things, their style of life led them to be quiet on the outside, but, because I thought too much on them I made like the rest had their regular lives but NO, THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE, because:

1) The Rescue Team wouldn't be the same without their leader: Heatwave was the chief and the support of the group, but he also managed to be the reason of the rest

I don't remember when or where but I said Blades wanted to be rescue bot because Heatwave saved him and Knock Out on a lab accident at med school, but without Heatwave as rescuer, Blades just continued his life as a medbot after he graduated instead of becoming rescue bot

Chase stayed on the academy because Heatwave was his inspiration and best friend, when Chase got in the academy and found himself alone he changed his priorities and became a commander on a police center near Kaon, and yes, he and Heatwave knew each other and became friends but much later from the academy times and not in the same friendly way

Boulder became paramedic because in Life of Rescue Bots the team made them feel they had a support on the rest and didn't need to do everything by their own, but in Outlier au, instead, Boulder's team is not enough of a family, which make Boulder feel they need to be everything at once to keep people really safe

Heatwave's ausence affected the other's lives, including Megatron, because in this Au, Heatwave met Megatron on the arena, and he saw everything Megatron will do if he didn't stop him NOW, and Heatwave killed Megatron in name to save his siblings, but due to Megatron's influence, things on Cybertron became... well, really out of control, Optimus, watching his friend's dead, took Megatron's place, and Starscream used his own influences to took as much as he could but not much because both Optimus and Starscream didn't have two important people:

2) Soundwave and Shockwave are the reason of existence of the Decepticon Army and Movement, not even Megatron or Starscream are or will ever be as important as those two

Soundwave was the eyes and ears of Megatron, he was smart and a great leader but Starscream did his dirty job and Soundwave secured everything as their communications operator, and Shockwave was the scientist, he is the soil under the tree of the decepticon army

And both Soundwave and Shockwave as members of the council and senate had the influence to make the decepticon army happen

Also, Shockwave's empurata was his motivation, but Outlier!Shockwave doesn't have it

There's a lot of ways and reasons of why Heatwave, Shockwave and Soundwave are too important to take them out of the plot, and this Au made me realize that, things would happen no matter what, but they wouldn't be the same because there's not the same people and actually, THE TRIPLET WAVE ARE IMPORTANT ON BOTH TFP AND TFRB AND MOST OF THE FRANCHISE!!!!!

And that's all, bye
