[So, going from celebrating his team's victory over the Decepticons to suddenly being a human? Just a little bit weird. He'd listened to everything that had been explained to him in kind of a weird daze, for the first half of it all thinking that he was just dreaming or something.

But then he'd met his partner and realized that maybe, just maybe, this wasn't a dream after all.

After the initial shock wore off, Smokescreen had scooped his companion up, much to her dismay, nd started to wander, only turning his D-terminal on when Hawkmon managed to smack him upside the head with her wing.

So say hello to a smiling, blue eyed young man with a bird sitting on his shoulder, said bird rubbing her forehead as she mumbles something to herself.]

Alright, so. The Digital World. Not sure how the slag I got here and I'm still not sure if this place is actually real or not--

For the last time, Smokescreen, this place is real!

Right, okay, so it's real.

[He shrugs, almost knocking Hawkmon off his shoulder but he catches her, flashing the glaring bird an apologetic look.]

My name's Smokescreen, like the bird--

Hawkmon.

Right Hawkmon--said, and I'm a member of Team Prime, if..that means anything to anyone here. That little..hyper thing that was explaining things to me said that the worlds have combined and stuff...so, what do we need to do to fix it exactly?

Oh, you are hopeless.

[Oh Smokescreen, it only gets weirder from here on out.]

Oh! Autobot! I've heard that term. Ultra Magnet said something about that...and he knows Arcee and Bulkhead and-!! Hold on a second, let me get him for you--WHEELJACK!!

[Offscreen, Wheeljack's walking over to see what the fuzzy's problem is. She was hyperactive on your average day, but now she was in overdrive.]

What.

[Enter blonde hair blue eyed man with an oddly familiar coat!]

This guy knows about the Autobots!

[Hawkmon and Smokescreen glance at one another, the young man starting to shrug again because talk about hyperactive digimon--only to stop, smiling lopsidedly at his digimon. She scoffs before patting his head with her wing, both of them focusing on the video again as a new voice speaks up.

One that Smokescreen knows.

Wait. That bunny thing had said Wheeljack hadn't she?]

Wheeljack? Is that you?

There are quite a few of your teammates here it seems.

Thank Primus I'm not alone at least! Well, I mean, I have you now but..

Yes yes, I understand.

[The Gazimon scurries up Wheeljack's back, hanging onto him koala-style and peeking over his shoulder. She felt oh so important now, finding one of Wheeljack's teammates. Although if she could see the look on the man's face right now.

Because he's honestly confused.]

...Uh...

What's wrong? It's Smokescreen! Your buddy!

...Gonna be honest with ya, kid. Never saw you--or heard of you before in my life.

[...Awkwarrdddd.]

[Annnnddd cue his smile fading now.

Were he still a bot, his doorwings would have drooped, Smokescreen staring at the other in confusion now as Hawkmon tags a wing to her beak.]

Perhaps you are from different points in time?

What--but..how does that even...Come on, Wheeljack, this isn't funny! We were just fighting the 'cons together--well, actually we were celebrating the fact that the war is over and Megatron's dead but that's besides the point.

It's me, I swear it is!

Yeah, that's usually how it's gone down. Everyone here remembers somethin' I don't. So why not a new kid?

[He rolls his eyes slightly, more than irritated at that fact.]

Well at least he knows you! I mean...imagine what you could learn from--

What.

[You suddenly have his full attention, Smokescreen.]

Kid, don't joke about scrap like that.

[Smokescreen startles a bit before he frowns.]

I'm not joking. Megatron's dead thanks to Bumblebee and the other 'Cons retreated. We restored Cybertron too! The 'Cons had rebuilt the Omega Lock and we used it to restart the planet!

...That..sounds rather fascinating.

[Hawkmon is looking at her partner with a curious glint in her eyes but he doesn't seem to notice, looking at Wheeljack with a sort of pleading look.]

I swear I'm telling the truth!

[Wheeljack slumps back, absolutely speechless. For once, there's no witty comeback. The war was over? Just like that? There's a deep inhale as a hand scrubs over his face, trying to take all of this in. This kid could be lying. And a part of him wants to punch Smokescreen for it. But on the other hand...other people were from the future. He's missed out on a lot, why not tack on the end of the war too?

Ultra Magnus he could handle. Doing reckless shenanigans with Miko was expected. This...]

Casualties. How many.

Wheeljack, are you okay? You're being REALLY weird...

None on our side. Bee almost...

[Smokescreen flinches, glancing down as the memory hits him.]

Megatron shot him. There was nothing any of us could do and I saw...I watched his spark go out as he fell. We all did.

[He closes his eyes for a second before looking at the link again, clearing his throat as he manages a smile. It wasn't an easy thing to think about, even if the outcome had been good.]

He fell into the Omega Lock though so..he's okay. Better than okay actually because he can talk about. Ratchet stayed on Earth with the humans to play mediator or whatever and the rest of us headed back to Cybertron after everything was set to go.

...Omega Lock. You're...gonna have to fill me in kid. Not sure I'm that caught up. Not so sure I believe ya myself. But if the others can vouch for ya--

[It's nothing personal, Smokescreen. It's just really heavy stuff to accept after millions of years at war, and he doesn't know you more than your name at the moment.]

Sorry to hear about Bee. Even if he's good now.

No, no, I get it. This probably all sounds crazy.

[He laughs a bit, taking comfort in the way Trion leans against him a bit.]

What matters is that he's okay now.

[Tilting his head, Smokescreen looks thoughtful.]

Where do you want me to start?

Crazy's one way to word it...

[He rubs the back of his neck in thought, trying to recall the last thing he remembers.]

Team Prime was chasin' the Iacon Relics, last I knew. I was teamed up with the Doc.

[Smokescreen looks..surprised. Very surprised.]

Yeah that...No wonder you have no idea who I am.

[That...causes his face to drop.]

That far out of the loop, huh.
