Timeline: Week 2 Day 5
After the events of Can't keep going on like this
The 'engine' of the Lancia revved and tires gave off a loud screech as things went metal to pedal, increasing speed dramatically in a short amount of time. While this usually wouldn't be considered 'safe', it was Wheeljack and the speeds he was currently traveling at were nothing in comparison to what he could be doing. He was sure that by now everyone at base was more than aware of what had happened. Not that he was concerned so much with burning bridges, but as he had said he did, in fact, respect Bulkhead and didn't want him to turn that wrecking ball frame on him for actually being foolish and injuring his passenger seat occupant so he had to be much more vigilant with his actions rather than just shrugging it off as 'she's a Wrecker, she can handle it', especially under the circumstances.
He was being trusted with Miko's safety when he very well could have been without this time with her. The goal was to make it to the Jackhammer. Sure, they could have gone to the groundbridge and been at the location in half the time, but the Wrecker needed this, and with what Miko had seen? She probably did to. For him it was to work out the frustrations he was feeling that hadn't been solved with an all out brawl. If he tried to pilot anything right at this moment he'd probably end up punching his beloved ship and then he'd have something else to be angry about. Miko? Maybe she had to come to terms with what had gone on. He wasn't sure. All he knew was that she hadn't spoken a word to him since they'd left the base.
Normally that would have been fine for Wheeljack. However, this was Miko. When she was quiet it was because something was wrong. The Wrecker wasn't the 'lets talk it out' type so he had no clue how to handle it outside of staying quiet until someone decided to speak up. If this was going to be the last time he got to hang out with her as an honorary Wrecker, he at least wanted to make sure they ended on a high note, rather than him sitting in a corner fuming about things he'd rather not linger on. This whole... thing was not ending them on a high note.
Silence was currently being a bitch anyway by sending his thoughts elsewhere.
His processor was dealing with its own stupid pot of ingredients that created a very unsavory meal. Too bad for him he wasn't one to let things go when they weren't able to just be aired out and dealt with after a few punches. Optimus had stepped up to him, crossed a very tender line, and shattered a trust within the Wrecker that wasn't easily mended. His future with the Autobots hung in the very balance because of choices he had made only moments before and further depended on whether or not he decided to suck up his pride and apologize to the Autobot leader for his actions and duly 'fall in line'. Frankly, he didn't feel like apologizing for something that didn't start with him, nor did he feel that Optimus had enough of Wheeljack's respect to even ask him to consider being a team player.
For Primus's sake, if Miko didn't say something soon he was going to lose his damn mind.
