 [Oh hey, look, it's Wheeljack. And for once, he's not eating. Actually, he's sitting in his apartment, on the couch near the coffee table, working on...something.  From the looks of it, it's an empty plastic bottle, some scraps of wire, batteries, and other knick knacks. In his teeth is a knife, probably taken from the kitchen, occasionally removing it as he needs it.  What's even more strange is You can't be anywhere to be seen.  Her usual spot of on his shoulder seems to be empty today.

He slowly starts piecing this mess together carefully, when a small whine is heard from under the couch.]

Do you HAVE to do this?

[With a roll of his eyes, he looks down at the ground, where You was obviously hiding underneath.]

I ain't sittin' around next time while you take all the heat. I want in on the action.

But a GRENADE? You know only I can hurt them!

[He pauses a minute, to look over his work again, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. He doesn't exactly pay You his full attention, but he doesn't ignore her either.]

It's a flash grenade. Doesn't do damage, but distracts. Figured you could use it. And next time, we'll be ready when anything attacks us.

You're going to hurt yourself.

You, I've done this for centuries. I know what I'm doin-

[And just then, the grenade seems to almost -spark-. Wheeljack, please don't blow the place up. Your roommates need to live SOMEWHERE.]

I don't think the fire extinguisher is made to handle explosions.

[Does Sam need to evacuate the building? He has to live here too you know.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

We're gonna find out.

[Look at that smirk.]

Relax, kid. I doubt this'll do anythin' more than a flash and a loud noise.

[unknowing_user]

Just don't get the curtains on fire or anything in some freak flash fry or something. We don't have renters insurance to cover the cost.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Got it. No fires in an enclosed space. That about the gist of it?

[unknowing_user]

Nope, you seem to know what you're doing and now you got the friendly reminder in case you do set something on fire as I can say I warned you not to do so.

[Sam how weird has your life gotten that someone making a bomb in the apartments doesn't even phase you.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Knew there was a reason I liked ya, kid. I'll keep your friendly reminder in mind--maybe move outdoors since all the guys in this building probably like sleepin' well at night. Knowin' their room won't catch fire.

[He doesn't know either, but he sure as hell won't complain.]
