It's funny how the story's attempt to make GHOST be Cemetary Wind 2.0 when the actually vibe I get from them is NEST turned into an international police force.
Not to mention the Ghoids always wear masks to hide the fact they are robots. Human GHOST agents show their faces.
My point is GHOST is a *shady organization with good intentions*. Just note how every Decepticon in the prison are notably those who have caused harm and are ready to do more harm at any second. The only GHOST member doing all the bad thing is....
...dun DUN...
Executive Agent Croft!
Just her alone.
Now tell me again why does GHOST collapse over a single executive agent? She can't be the only executive agent. And she's definitely not the director of GHOST.
The G for GHOST stands for ghost, not global apparently.
.
EDIT: Alright, I see another faulty writing in the worldbuilding here.
To make GHOST evil-evil, Croft has to be its Director or at least one of the top positions, not executive agent. Schloder's position is only "Agent" yet so many other agents follow his command. It makes Croft's position merely right above him, not that high above as we thought it was. Croft can be extra intimidating if she became director after doing something to the previous director who wanted to help all Cybertronians return to their home.

So at the start of "Hashtag Oops" we saw Skullcruncher getting experimented on and during the prison break he huddles fearfully in his cell. He growls at Bee and the Terrans but doesn't attack.
Tumblr media
Then the sight of the GHOST emblem rouses him and he brute-forces his way out . . . only to get stunned unconscious and recaptured.
Tarantulas casually revealed the existence of GHOST memory erasing devices in his episode and imo Skullcruncher is the most likely victim of the bots we've seen. He seemed totally out of it, scared of everything, not reacting to an Autobot as an enemy and not helping Soundwave, who was just a few feet away. Tarantulas didn't say GHOST's device modified memories, he said they deleted them. Leaving what? Anything?

Earthspark Bumblebee x Medic!Reader
It's time for more soft Bumblebee x Reader content because the world always needs more. This one has Medic!Reader patching Bee up after the events of episode 18, so if you haven't seen that far ahead then spoilers!!
Tumblr media
You'd never seen him remain in power down for so long, but considering the shape Bumblebee had been in when you first saw him, you didn't begrudge the Scout a well deserved rest. Even if it had come at the expense of your own…
Unable to sleep for many reasons, you checked your phone for the time, and couldn't stop your tired eyes from widening as you saw it was already close to five in the evening. Considering the Maltos had called you around six or so in the morning, that meant you'd been in the Dugout for over ten hours. It was impossible to believe so much had happened since that first slightly panicky call from Dot; just her synopsis of the series of events that had led to an unconscious, injured Bumblebee in the Dugout had taken the entirety of the half hour drive from your home to theirs. You'd pushed the terrifying details of underground bot fights to the side in favor of focusing on your patient, who only had you until Ratchet could return from his current mission across the globe and find a way to meet him somewhere clandestine for more secret repairs.
Though you were far from confident working on your own, you'd patched up the worst of the Scout's injuries to the very best of your abilities, and were at least certain it would cause him no further pain. Unfortunately you didn't have the tools to repair his armor completely, and GHOST would have had questions if you dropped by on your day off to grab the necessary supplies. Technically that meant you'd done everything you could for Bumblebee at the moment, but you still couldn't bring yourself to leave. A subtle twitch along his frame from what you assumed was a dream made you smile, affection and protective instinct rising up inside you.
In your defense, you hadn't seen Bee much since the events at the Racetrack. Between your job patching up the bots and the need to keep GHOST in the dark, you'd had little time to speak over covert channels and none to arrange a meeting of any kind. All you'd really been able to confirm was that he was alive, and that Optimus had a distant optic on him. This chance to sit with him on his berth and ensure he got the care he required was something you needed more than you cared to admit.
Not especially concerned about your own sleepiness, you pushed down a yawn and walked to the head of the berth where the Malto kids had lovingly piled a mountain of pillows beneath their beloved teacher's helm. You couldn't help but smile again at the utterly adorable sight and everything that had led up to it. Goodness, the kids had been so worried for his sake, asking repeatedly if there was anything they could do to help. It had taken a solid five minutes of assurances before they'd finally left you to your work, and that was only after you'd allowed them to ensure he was tucked in and comfortable. Looking over the mass mosaic of human sized blankets they'd stacked over the scout warmed your heart. 
A soft murmur in his sleep and a resulting twitch of his arm prompted you to check your work for the umpteenth time, lest Bumblebee wake to any pain or discomfort that you might have missed previously, and you kneeled by his side without a word for a better look. Using as little pressure as possible, you brushed your fingertips over the warped metal with a small cringe of sympathy as you traced the outline left by the massive tooth that had cracked right through his armor. It wasn't the only ugly injury he'd endured since your last meeting. You had noticed countless others at various stages of healing, telling you the Scout had been living a rough life since his recent fateful encounter with GHOST. The sympathy you felt was matched only by boundless hatred for your backwards employer.
Hearing a small hitch in his peaceful snores, you withdrew your hands in fear you'd caused unwanted pain, but a shift of his helm and a twitch of his doorwings signaled the mech was waking up regardless. Before you could move back to a more respectable distance, Bumblebee opened his optics with a bit of a start.
"Who's there?" he slurred in a rush, accustomed to waking up on alert but still far too bleary to be intimidating. You merely waved and remained where you were, giving his optics a moment to adjust to the dim lighting before they settled on you and lit up in recognition. 
"Hey, sleepyhead." you greeted gently, trying so hard to keep the overwhelming emotions out of your voice. As happy as you'd been to see him at all, being in his presence again for the first time in weeks had your heart absolutely aching. Goodness, it was impossible to put into words just how deeply you'd missed him. 
"Y/N?" he said with more clarity, the shock of seeing you bringing more of his processor online. Catching himself, he cleared his vents and backtracked into the far more formal register you two used when others might overhear, rolling onto his side and lifting his upper body to face you at a more respectable distance. "Sorry, I mean, uh, Doctor Y/N." 
You held up your hands to encourage him to relax, chuckling softly at the little song and dance the two of you maintained to keep your relationship secret. "You can drop that, it's just us."
Bumblebee sighed in a small measure of relief, doorwings relaxing on his back as he looked past you to the dim room beyond. "Where-?" he cut off as soon as his sharp optics traced the details of his private room, which had been left untouched after his sudden departure. A flurry of emotions passed over his face, confusion chief among them, and he furrowed his brows in concentration as he searched his still halfway offline processor for answers. Questions started spilling forth when he turned back to you. "How did I get back to the Dugout? Isn't GHOST keeping this place under wraps? What about the-?"
Talking through his thoughts allowed enough memories to resurface for Bee to connect the pieces, and before you could offer any kind of explanation or assurance his face lit up with alarm and he sat upright with enough force to send multiple blankets and pillows flying across the room.
"The kids!" he cried out in a near panic, looking ready to throw himself off the berth and charge out to face any potential threat to his family. "Are they okay? The last thing I remember is Mandroid-"
Medical training to keep a patient calm kicked into gear. You stood upright and held up your hands to get his attention as quickly as you could, trying not to slip on the tangled nest of blankets in your hurry.
"They're all grounded, but they're fine!" you explained as soon as his optics were on you, quieting your voice when the news allowed him to sigh and sit back in open relief. Considering how his night had gone, you didn't blame him for the panic. Between his injuries, Mandroid returning, the danger to the kids… It seemed best to give him a very simplified summary of what had happened after he'd passed out.
"They had to tell Dot and Alex about you so they could call me, but you only needed a patch job and a few infusions." you explained, leaving out the whirlwind of emotions you'd pushed through while providing his care. Seeing the bot you adored after weeks apart, only to have him presented unconscious and dangerously low on energon with fresh injuries to boot, had been a little much for your exhausted brain to endure at the crack of dawn. It hadn't helped that you'd been unable to get any sleep since thanks to your nagging concern, and you had to smother a yawn just to finish talking. "Thankfully I'm off duty for today, so I've been able to keep an eye on you."
Bumblebee went quiet for a moment to process, optics averting in thought before the information settled and he shook his helm with a somewhat heavy sigh. Returning his gaze to you, he replaced his thoughtful frown with a soft and somewhat bashful smile, emotions reserved as always.
"Sorry about your day off." he said quietly, somehow conveying his boundless gratitude for all you'd done in the form of a humble apology. 
You chuckled, but the words broke a dam within you, cracking right through your efforts to stay strong and allowing a flood of emotions to wash over your heart. The two of you had been close for a while, had been more than friends longer than anyone knew, but these past few weeks and especially the previous twelve hours had made it abundantly clear just how deeply you cared for this mech. Though you weren't quite ready for the "L" word yet, you weren't sure how you'd ever handle losing him, and even this brief scare had made it abundantly apparent the very idea terrified you. It was far too much to process on so little sleep.
Thankful for the dim lighting, you bit down on a quivering lip for as long as you could before the ache became too much to bear. Abandoning a playful quip in reply, you threw your arms about his neck for a hug, something you'd never before been brave enough to do. Bumblebee startled and made what sounded like a gasp of surprise, but made no effort to move away. The hum of his spark was tangible against your skin, and you welcomed it with a sound of pained relief. You allowed your voice to crack as you drank in every little bit of his presence. "I'm just glad you're okay."
Before embarrassment could make you doubt the gesture of affection, a sizable arm tenderly wrapped about your tiny form, his warm armor all but enshrouding you as he pulled you close. You allowed a few tears to splash against his yellow paint, sighing as the world finally seemed to make sense for the first time in weeks. It wasn't clear how long the two of you stayed like that before you rediscovered your voice. "It's really good to see you again, Bee. I missed you."
"I missed you too." he replied softly, thumb stroking comfortingly up and down your back as he took his time letting you go. When he finally did so it was only partly, his grip loosening but his hand staying on your back as he leaned away to look at you while he spoke. Regret was heavy in every syllable. "I would have tried to send more messages, or visit, but-"
"I know, Optimus has kept me in the loop." you said, interrupting only to prevent him from blaming himself further. You allowed your hands to linger on his shoulders, the divot of a somewhat fresh scar bumping against your fingers as you did so, bringing back a host of worries that had followed you for weeks. "I've been so worried they'd hurt you, or catch you, or-"
It was his turn to interrupt out of concern. "Hey, I'm fine now, right?" he said playfully, slipping a hand beneath your chin. The touch warmed your heart, especially as he guided you to look up at him with the gentlest lift of his digits. His face softened in the way it often did when he opened up, optics brightening and flicking away as the faintest hint of a pink flush bloomed across his cheeks. "Thanks to you, anyway."
The praise hit its mark, and you dropped your gaze to hide a reciprocal blush, unsure how the two of you had gotten so soft for one another. Perhaps the absence had made all your tiptoeing around seem foolish now that the stakes were clarified. If the two of you could lose each other any day, what good did it do to hide and delay?
In addition to melting your heart, his words pinged a medical protocol in the back of your mind, and your concern couldn't help but gently steer the conversation to his care. A careful hand on his guided the attention there first. "You'll still need some reconstruction, I'm not big or strong enough to handle that without my tools." you explained, being a bit more openly tender than usual as you traced your fingers over the welds you'd applied to clean up the mangled armor and mesh. Bumblebee looked ready to reply with a compliment to counteract your matter of fact assessment, but you cut him off, the strain of so much emotional turmoil on just a few hours of sleep making you quite weary. It took everything not to yawn as you spoke. "You should also keep resting up, I can tell you've been pushing it lately."
Bumblebee didn't argue, but you knew from experience he would catch that you were tired, and as soon as he opened his mouth you were proven correct. "Maybe, but I bet you could use some sleep too." 
"I'm fine. I'll sleep later." you assured with a wave of your hand, hoping to get him back in power down before it became too difficult to hide the full extent of your exhaustion. You knew it was futile now that Bee had figured you out, but you still had to try. It was simply impossible for you to just admit you had needs without being pushed.
"If I need rest, so do you." Bumblebee countered as expected, and for once his gentle concern cut right through your walls. Before you could nod and suggest grabbing some of the many pillows and blankets to construct yourself a makeshift bed in the corner, the Scout cleared his vents and made a small space beside himself, one perfectly sized for you. His voice faltered through an adorable attempt to sound smooth. "There's… plenty of room on this berth."
It was impossible to deny how perfectly you'd fit in the space between his arm and his chest, or how warm and safe you'd feel getting some much needed sleep beside his spark, but before you could reply Bumblebee finally noticed the ridiculous abundance of blankets and pillows that had been layered around him. "There's also plenty of… pillows and blankets too… why… why are there so many-?"
You laughed before you could stop yourself, a bit too loopy from a lack of sleep to explain how his students had gone to great efforts to ensure he was comfortable. "Very long story." 
"Sounds like something for after we wake up." he said with a soft chuckle, able to hazard a guess as to how he'd ended up cocooned. Nodding in agreement, you allowed yourself to yawn and give your eyes a sleepy rub, suddenly unable to resist curling up and letting your body get the rest it needed. It hardly mattered that your sleep schedule would be a mess when this was done. 
Bumblebee shifted backwards to make more room, awkwardness returning as he tried to ensure you had a comfortable spot with plenty of space. "Here, let me uh… oh!"
Too tired to feel any kind of embarrassment, you plopped down just beside his chassis, facing his front and resting your head on his shoulder. It was perhaps the closest the two of you had ever been, and nothing had ever felt more right. The hum of his spark quickened from the contact, but from the way he curled protectively around your smaller form you knew it was far from unwelcome. Still, you looked up to him for explicit confirmation before getting settled. "This okay?"
"Yeah, definitely." he replied easily, helpfully offering all the blankets and pillows you needed before getting comfortable at your side. You didn't fail to notice how he adjusted your bedding after you'd settled into the crook of his arm, his digits lingering for the shortest fraction of a second on your arms before he laid his helm back down with a whisper. "Goodnight, Y/N."
"Goodnight, Bee." you replied just before sleep claimed you, your last sensation the warmth of his frame curled lovingly around your own.

Earthspark Starscream (spoilers)
Yeah, so "Warzone" happened. And there are some very interesting things.
Mainly: I think Earthspark may give us Immortal Starscream.
Hear me out:
First off, when Megatron chugs the Allspark through the spacebridge we see Starscream jumping after it...and it explodes right in his face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These scenes are not over in a blink, they're noticable, we're given explicit zooms to Starscream jumping after the Allspark TWO times. I think that's not a coincidence and something to keep in mind for later.
After this, Optimus shoots the spacebridge, it turns into a HUGE explosion and the Allspark is gone - we know this, because Megatron laments the fact that the Allspark is seemingly lost - or is it?
In the scene it looks like it vanishes in the explosion, or maybe it went through the bridge just in time and is back on Cybertron already...I mean, none of the Transformers on earth have any means to check whether it's back on Cybertron. So, what if it isn't? What if the explosion practically shot the Allspark right into Starscream? I mean, this wouldn't be the first series where he has some connection to it.
In Cyberverse, Starscream merged with the Allspark several times and in TFA it literally kept him alive; it could be the same here, because that explosion looked nasty. And Starscream was right in the middle of it.
So, here's my theory: The blast from the exploding spacebridge was essentially enough to offline him permanently. But during it the Allspark collided and merged with him, keeping him alive. Thus, giving us Immortal Starscream. (And then it's also no wonder no one knows where the Allspark is - its inside Starscream and can't be tracked, because he involuntarily shields it from detection.)
And now for something else that slightly bothers me:
Where is Starscream in this shot? Because I don't see him.
Tumblr media
We can see a few bots, but that seeker next to Megatron is Novastorm - sure, maybe Starscream was blasted outside of the frame we can see, but...I think Earthspark is very deliberate in what it shows and what it does not.
So maybe he was blasted SO far away that basically all the bots present presume he's dead. GHOST found him, threw him in a cell and left him there - and since their alliance with Megatron was fresh and brittle at that time, and we now know that Agent Croft is shady af...well, maybe they took Megatron's former second in command in custody without him knowing. Chances are, he thinks that Starscream perished in that blast.
Tbh I don't think this is actually the case...but if it IS I'm hella excited for the first time the two of them meet on-screen.
There's good stuff waiting for us, hehe.

A quick analysis of the Breakdown/Bumblebee escape sequence from Earthspark
Quick context: the way I read them is more of the “we’re calling them brothers like how spop had to call catradora sisters to explain the levels of affection they have for each other and to throw off the scent of the homophobes so therefore they are gay” way. That being said.
1) Breakdown could have put his hand anywhere. ANYWHERE on Bee to push him out of the way. Instead, he puts his hand in the softest way possible on Bee’s chest - where his insignia is - where the symbol that drove them apart is stamped in a red that sets itself apart from the yellow and black of Bee’s paint job. People literally talked about this, had conversations, and approved the boards and final animations. He could have shoved him at the shoulder, or anywhere else but no. They chose his chest for a REASON.
2) The diversion scene - Breakdown is not only taking all of those stupid laser blasts, including Croft’s supercharged blasts - while being faster than Bumblebee. And we see Bee accelerating as Breakdown pulls further and further ahead. This tells me two things. One. Bee knew he would lose, but agreed to the bet with Breakdown in the trailer anyways because he would rather see him safe since he doesn’t have the same support system Bee has, and two, Bee’s entire goal of finding and racing Breakdown was to make sure he was safe and he was willing to give up ever seeing him again if it meant he would be able to evade GHOST.
3) The way Breakdown sounded when he first revealed himself, as mentioned by another post on here, was that he sounded afraid. Breakdown was terrified of being taken in, but didn’t want that to happen to Bee because he knew what GHOST had in store was both inhumane and awful. So he took the fall and dove straight into the line of fire. And you can hear the desperation in his voice as he reaches out because he knows it’s a last-ditch effort for one of them to escape to safety.
4) Bee’s look of shock and terror as Breakdown disappears under the bridge, injured, unable to transform, and surrounded by agents is heartbreaking. He just lost one of the parts of home closest to him - a friend from BEFORE the war. Remember, this isn’t someone he befriended during the war, they were torn apart by it. And they were able to keep up their little game of drag racing together until now, when the war took them apart again - potentially forever.
Also i just want to add yes I am subscribed to the headcanon that knockout is still here and that yes all three of them have two hands. Bee can have some boyfriends. As a treat. He’s been through a lot and needs love.

Too fiddly? Oh! I guess with multiple cards it can be hard to get a handle on them. Yea, I can see that.
Exploding Kittens is a game I’ve heard of, but never actually played it. However, with Uno, my family and I had a 3 hour long game! It was hilarious!😂
Star, Bee, Hot Rod, if you’ve played Uno, what was the longest game you’ve ever played?
What's Uno?
The longest game I played was with Agent Schloder. It lasted about 5hrs.
It... what? How? How d'you make a game last that long?
Breakdown kept interrupting.
He probably felt left out! Why didn't you include him? I thought you said you like him.
He was in the next cell over. But, yeah, he was probably bored and feeling like we were ignoring him.
You were in prison? When?
When a mission you sent me on went wrong.
Ah. Oh. Then.
Was Optimus a bad dad?
No. Perhaps he was a bit stupid...
Thanks, Megs.
Pfffft... hahaha!

Security Protocols slight fix-it excerpt
Firsts to Grow Up: Family, 16 - Race for Safety
Author's note:
Without any mention of the incident with Tarantulas, Twitch's behaviour in that episode feels out of place. Aside from that, we never saw Bee train the Terrans for the rest of part B, everyone is chill despite the fact that they almost become orphans, and most importantly, GHOST's reason for hunting down Bee is very loose a reason. Show writers' attempt to make them Cemetery Wind 2.0 does not work at all. And no, GHOST in this AU won't be like Cemetery Wind, but more as NEST 2.0.
.
.
One week after the incident with Tarantulas, Twitch grows frustrated that she and her Terran siblings hadn’t had combat training in a while. All they’ve done is education and Bumblebee keeps testing their top speeds with his.
Thrash tells Twitch to relax and have fun as he, Hashtag and Bee lined up at the starting line. Nightshade is in the air with a camera on the three while Jawbreaker manages the timer. The moment their teacher speeds off, Twitch attacks Thrash in hopes he would spar with her. He repels her attacks in surprise, yelling at her to stop. Twitch doesn’t listen then takes her energy blades out. Bumblebee intervenes in time before she could charge at her twin. The triplets freeze in shock as they feel fury boiling from Twitch that overwhelms Thrash’s fear in the link.
       Twitch insists she’s spar training. Bumblebee tells her she’s assaulting because Thrash didn’t agree to fight her. He orders her to cool off in the bunker. Twitch storms off, muttering angrily, ticking Thrash off. He follows her to talk some sense into her. Hashtag and Nightshade follow suit, worried that their things might get damaged by Twitch. Jawbreaker wants to race with ‘Bee but the latter says it won’t be fair. In truth, JB doesn’t want to be near Twitch & Thrash when they quarrel. Bumblebee coaxes him when rain clouds form and the two collect the equipment and return to the barn together.
Once Jawbreaker enters the bunker, an alarm blares and a heavy reinforced door suddenly shuts behind him, leaving Bumblebee outside.
Nightshade cries out in celebration, “Eurika!”, and checks the security cameras.
Thrash asks when did the farm had cameras.
Hashtag and Nightshade reply together, “Last night.”
Schloder arrives at the farmhouse. Robby and Mo are at the living room doing homework while their parents are napping upstairs. A loud transformation noise catches the vice warden’s attention. He doesn’t wait for their parents as he heads towards the barn.
Bumblebee sees Schloder approaching through the cracks in the barn’s walls. He tries to open the bunker door, but it doesn’t budge, then he frantically climbs up to the hay shelf right before Schloder arrives at the open entrance. The wood creaks under Bee’s weight. Schloder is about to look up when Dorothy calls out his name, saying he’s intruding as she closes the barn door. Bee carefully climbs down and heads for the still shut bunker door.
“Kids, let me in! Now!” he whispers at the Cybertronian-sized doorbell urgently. The Terrans doesn’t hear him because the speaker on the other side hasn’t been installed yet.
       Schloder apologises for intruding then informs the family about Bumblebee being on GHOST’s wanted list for running away during the events of the Autobot friendly fire. It was recently added after their agents found new evidence about Bumblebee’s status at racing tracks across the nation – confirming that he didn’t die in the war’s final battle. Schloder searches for Bee himself to hopefully converse with him because Warden Croft will throw Bee into a cell without a second thought. He thinks “Alex’s” sports car had been scanned by Bumblebee and intends to bring him to the office for questioning. To play along, Alex agrees to follow Schloder. After watching Alex leave with Schloder, Dorothy marches to the barn with the teenagers behind her.
       “Bumblebee! We need to talk about your pastime activities. And why aren’t you in the bunker?”
       “The door won’t open.”
       Dot calls the bunker with its old connecting phone in the barn. Nightshade gleefully picks it up and boasts about the newly installed security systems he and Hashtag had installed by themselves. Dorothy asks if either of them had asked Wheeljack for guidance to which they didn’t. Nightshade confidently says the door will open in ten minutes only for Thrash to point out the timer actually reads ten hours.
Nightshade tries to unlock the door manually, but the codes are rejected. Hashtag mentions a second entryway they haven’t finish digging up yet, to which Dot tells her to stop digging because it would end up right under the house, scolding them both for not informing her or their father about the systems. The tall triplets look at each other sheepishly.
Dot tells Robby to use her old military laptop to decode the systems then tells Mo to contact Wheeljack while she presses Bee to explain himself.
Bumblebee is searching for a Decepticon friend after he was told by Arcee a few weeks back that the friend likely spends time racing at small racing tracks. Bee found him at the track GHOST is observing. Dot worries Bee might get caught or have to be nomadic again, leaving the Terrans’ without their mentor. Bee insists now that GHOST is tracking him, he has to, or else suspicion will fall to the Maltos – risking the Terrans’ existence being exposed. He apologizes to Dot for breaking his promise. Dot contemplates for a moment then gets an idea.
       In the bunker, Twitch rambles angrily how her Terran siblings might be able to help Bumblebee if they hadn’t gotten stuck. Thrash finds her words unbelievable as Twitch have been rebelling their teacher ever since he scolded her for nearly shooting at a cow a few days back. Twitch rolls her eyes in response, stunning the triplets and further angers Thrash.
“You don’t care that you almost killed a cow or that you attacked me? What is with you today?!”
“Me? What’s wrong with you? – the four of you! Don’t you guys want to be stronger after what happened with Tarantulas? We could’ve saved Mom and Dad from him faster. I could’ve saved Mom and Dad faster! I’m the swiftest, I have weapons on me, but I still couldn’t stop him from almost taking Mom and Dad away! You guys have been playing and doing quizzes over and over as if Tarantulas never happened. I can’t even sleep it off! I can’t believe you guys are over it so quickly!!”
Feeling guilty and hurt, Nightshade feigns ignorance of Twitch’s outburst by pretending to be busy with decoding; Jawbreaker and Hashtag look down in shame. Thrash calmly tells Twitch that none of them are “over” the incident. They’re just distracting themselves from the uneasiness. Plus, Wheeljack and Bee were told by their parents to take things easy because they know the children are shaken up. He sits down beside Twitch, puts an arm around her shoulders. Her rigid body loosens a little at her twin’s touch, yet the anger lingers.
