[Pietro's wearing a new grey, blue, and white uniform and trying to look authoritative and/or menacing.]

Just so we're all on the same page here...

From now on, anyone who messes with Toad or Hope is also messing with me. And I don't plan on letting anyone off lightly.

The annoying blue muppet's on his own, though. If he's even figured out how to work these things yet.

[Locked to Toad and Hope]

You two, get over here. We need to talk.

[He moves the camera to show that he's in a small, empty building, then shows them the view from the window. It's not far from the Flop.]

Did you guys come off the ship too, or what? Wing told me some about your... uh, homeworld. Or whatever it's called.

[Giant robots still freak him out a bit, but he is a teenage boy. And the Cybertronians are pretty damn cool.]

[weapabilities]

[Fortunately for him, Wing and Drift are about as derpy friendly as they come.]

Yeah. At least that's where I woke up.

Oh! He told you about Cybertron? What did he tell you about it?

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Uh, mostly that there's apparently giant sentient robots that are also cities and trains and stuff.

[The idea of which still freaks him out]

[Video]

[weapabilities]

That's kind of the long and short of it. Uh. Though not so much on the cities and trains and stuff anymore. Our planet is-

Ah...

[Not doing so great.]

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Is what? Let me guess. You got yourselves into a war or something.

[Sensitive? Quicksilver? Never. But yeah, it just makes sense that giant robots who can turn into jets and whatnot would end up fighting.]

[Video]

[weapabilities]

... For several million years, yes.

[Yeah... he's not proud.]

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Geez. Do you guys even remember why you're fighting?

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Depends on who you ask.

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Sooo... no, then. Good luck with that, man. I've got my own war to worry about, back home.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

I remember.

Hmn. What is your war about?

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Humans can't handle the fact that there's people like me out there. They didn't take it too well when they found out we existed.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Humans typically don't... deal with those sorts of things well, no.

If you're not a human, what are you?

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Better.

I'm a mutant. The next step in human evolution, and they all want to stomp us out. So we have to defend ourselves.

[He's not mentioning that he and his father pretty much started the war, of course]

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Yeah that tends to be the way things go when they feel threatened.

[His stay on Earth wasn't... the greatest. Even though a lot of their culture was fascinating.]

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

I take it you have experience?

[Video]

[weapabilities]

A bit, yeah. To their credit our war did find their planet, so I can't exactly blame them for not trusting us.

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

To be honest, my experience with giant robot things hasn't been too great, either. But those were man-made.

Us? We were just born different. So we scare them. It's sad, really, how they can't even figure out they're making things worse.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Yeah if anything the humans do definitely know how to make formidable weapons.

[Nothing on the Cybertronian scale... unfortunately.He hates that it's kind of their calling card to be horrible and destructive.]

I'm. Sorry to hear that. I kind of know how that is.

[Maybe not different, but when you're poor and homeless, people sure do tend to treat you like a disease.]

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

We knew it was coming. It's not like we weren't prepared. The humans aren't going to win that war, let me tell you. But- well, I'm confident it'll be over fast, anyway.

[Saying that he wished it didn't have to happen this way was too close to outright defying everything Magneto had taught him.]

[Video]

[weapabilities]

You know, that's what my people thought, too.

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

[Don't say that! Despite how he was raised, Pietro makes a pretty poor soldier. He's got to cling to the idea that he won't have to deal with this for too long]

You didn't have my... boss.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Who was your... ah. Boss?

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

Magneto. He knows what he's doing, and he's one of the most powerful mutants there is. Not even counting the rest of us.

[Video]

[weapabilities]

Hmn.

[Isn't that ironic.]

And does he speak of revolution and freedom?

Re: [Video]

[cantcatchme]

...Something like that.

[Victory, power, supremacy. But Pietro knows damn well he can't pitch it like his father can, so he doesn't try.]
