I'm Stupid, I'm Stupid!

((Jan 31st. Morning. After "Raider from the Sky". So the Heroes can find out of Starscream's one-man attack on the villains the night prior and maybe give him a hand. Open to Heroes. I know that thread isn't quite finished...but it pretty much is so...yeah
Best Starscream quote ever. No, not even the quote - how it was delivered))


The Decepticon had spend most the night trying to navigate the forest back to the fimilar spot closer to that pathetic fleshling city. Without equilibrium sensors, he needless to say hit a tree or two (or a few dozen). Because he was drianed to the point of no longer being able to fly, Starscream had to walk. Actually, run for a good time to get away from the creatures he attempted to steal from. When you're twenty feet tall, it's hard to hide, but he was at least smart enough to use the cover of night.

As the day came back, he began to notice the place becoming more fimilar, even in the energy-straved daze he was falling into. Starscream stopped and sat down to lean against a tree (making it tilt), pretty much giving up. The grey-and-red body of the Transformer was still smoking in spots and short-circuted from time to time. Even then, the lair of a Decepticon didn't want to call for help to those... biological paracites! But, it soon dawned on him that there was no way he was going to be able to collect Energon in his state and if he was caught by a particuarly strong enemy, he would be disassembled for scrap in no time.

Spitefully slamming his head on the tree that was keeping him from falling over, Starscream decided to spare a bit of energy to send to distress signal to his, ahem, "allies".

"At least Megatron doesn't know about this," He grumbled, desperate to find a bright side to the whole thing.

[IHeart]

"IHeart. Have you found him yet?"

"Not yet Critic. Me, Spoony, Donny, Dr. Banner and Tony are working on it" IHeart replied as she spoke to the walkie-talkie. She, Donny and the other three humans were part of the group to help every hero to find Starscream since his disappearance.

"OH ROBOT! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Spoony shouted as Donny used a tracker device to search for Starscream

"Hey banner. Ten bucks he's around the woods" Tony replied jokingly to Banner as they were supposed to find Starscream

(OCC: Banner, if you don't want this to happen that's fine and I can edit this)

The weak Decepitcon blinked, hearing a man's voice. He might have been nearly dead, but he had enough whineing left in him to last him ten more lives. A scowl appeared on his silver face as he spat in the direction of the humans.

"Dirty fleshlings! My name is Star-"

A crack filled the air and the robot let out a shrill hollar. The tree he was using to support himself broke and he collapsed with ground-shaking crash. If he had the slightest bit of energy left, he would have turned that tree into woodchips. All he could to as of present was pout like a child with a tantrum. Starscream's murderous glare to the forest was interupted by a sudden pang of pain from a crumpled wing with causing him to let out a whimpy-sounding whine.

[Donatello]

Donny ran as fast as his body would allow and immediately saw Starscream's body. He replied "I found Starscream guys!" Donny then saw he was severely damaged and he cursed in his mouth "Aw shell. I don't have any tools. Tony!"

"Yes Mr. Turtle?" Tony sarcastically asked

"Can you run back and get tools... And Dr. Linksano... And people in general" Donny asked kindly

"No problamo dear" Tony replied, he then patted Bruce and replied "Stay with Donny and the others. Be right back" Tony then ran for more people and supplies
XXXX

Spoony meanwhile facepalmed "Oh boy. You don't have tools don? Well we might as well know what happened" Spoony went over to the angry jet and replied calmly "What happened to you? Did you get attacked? Well obviously someone attacked you but how did the injuries come up?" He turned to IHeart to make sure she was with them and IHeart was but was very unnerved by this

Starscream leered with his head.

"Piss off!" He barked.

The multiple blows he'd taken to the face came back to bite him at that instant, as his eyes and mouth spurted unhealthy-looking white sparks. Starscream, clearly in a deal of pain from it, jerked his head away, uttering a pathetic yelp. The discharge went away quickly, leaving some thin black smoke in its place. After that, the Decepticon appeared more subdued and at least approachable.

"It-it was an ambush," He whined, "Fleshlings came from everywhere. I was low on energy and couldn't fight back, so I was forced to retreat. They ruined my wing!"

Deciding to lay on the melodrama thick, he continued in a self-pitied cry, "I wasn't doing anything I wouldn't usually do!"

[Deleted]

Bruce winches at Starscreams yelling before he raises a brow at the giant robot "as much as i would like to take pity on you yelling at us won't help your situation" he shifts from foot to foo uneasy. The doctor swallows at Tony's touch before giving the retreating figure a nod.

[Tony Stark/Iron Man]

Tony went to Critic back at the house and responded "We found him Critic. He's really shitty looking"

"How shitty?" Critic asked, concerned

"8-Bit video game shitty" Tony Stark replied, really wanting Critic to come with him.

"Right. You go back with Starscream. I'll get reinforcements" Tony ran to the lab to get tools, then came back out and ran outside to help his team. Critic, meanwhile, ran to Linksano and replied to the scientist "Heya linksano. We found Starscream. We're gonna need your expertese and some other people. Tony took some things but I'm sure not enough to fix him quickly"
XXXX

Tony came back as promised and replied to Donny and Spoony "Good news guys. Critic's gonna get people. He told me to come back to help"

"Good. You'll help with his wing, Tony. Bruce, can you help me with Starscream's face" Donny asked Bruce, while Tony handed the turtle a wrench. Tony got a power-drill and looked to observe the wing. Tony hissed "Damn dude. They went all apeshit on you"

[Deleted]

"er sure what can i do to help?" Bruce asks stepping forward so he was even with Tony and closer to Starscream. "grantet i'm not very good with a wrench but i can give it a good. thats er more of your area Tone" he said looking at the playboy and then back to the robot.

[Deleted]

"I don't see what simian fecal matter has to do with anything," The robot stated.

At that point, he barely had the energy to spare to be stubborn and kept still as the little fleshlings walked about him. Starscream was still bitter and it showed in the unblinking, ill-willed glare he gave to just about everyone. He heard the mention of going in to repair his face and became more gaurded; the Decpticon wished not to participate in any plastic surgery, thank you. Only an Autobot would accept repairs from humans! That fact just made the "touch me and I'll bite your head off" heir around him grow stronger. After a flare of rage, he let out a breath.

"For your sake, you'd better hope you know what you're doing, fleshlings, or-" The shrill-voiced whiner stopped.

Or what? He'll bleed on them?

"Just get this over with. I have plans."

[Tony Stark/Iron Man]

(OCC: LOL. Starscream does not understand human sarcasm)

"It's a metaphor dude" Tony replied, drilling the wing a bit harder, trying not to hurt the concious robot. He rolled his eyes and replied "Yeah. So do we. Maybe you should've thought about that and your plans before you ran off" He then made a sarcastic face and put his hands up in fake surrender "I'm just making a little suggestion"
XXXX

"Tony, we'll worry about what happened entirely later. Right now, Starscream needs to heal" Donny said sternly as Tony began pointing fingers at the injured specimen. Donny quickly turned to Bruce who said he wasn't all handy dandy with simple tooling. "It's fine Bruce. I just need you to screw in a few loose bolts. I'll handle the big stuff" Donny then handed a wrench to bruce then got one for himself, and started repairing
XXXX

"Man. What's taking Critic so long in getting Linksano and a few other people. We can't stay in the woods all day and wait" Spoony replied impatiently, and more to IHeart than anyone

IHeart patted the man's back assuringly "No worries dude. They'll come. We just need to help Starscream at the moment"

[Deleted]

"thank you" he nodded to the giant turtle then turns to Starscream wrench in hand and starts to work on tightening the bolts and nuts on the giant robot. "how long do you think it will take for him to heal Tony?" Bruce said gaze flicking over to look at his friend.

(("Sarcasm: unappericated"))

Starscream lifted a hand to swat at the insolent human before the turtle injected for him. He dropped his hand, letting it hit the ground hard. In truth, the robot really did have plans - he just didn't know what they were yet. He had plans to prevent such a failure from ever happening again and that ment seriously upping his arsonal of both weapons and the slimely deceit he was infamous for. Red eyes looked past the Earth-creatures as he comtemplated this for a moment. He would at least need a base to himself. Starscream's trian of thought was interupted by a sudden dip in power, causing the red behind his optics to flicker. He shook his head, snapping out of it. If he didn't find some way to replenish his energy reserves, then he would probably die. This, he could not hide his fear from.

He turned his focus back to the humans, startled by nearly blacking out, "I'll recover very quickly if I get to an energy source. I don't care what it is, but I need something now."

The Decpticon's gaze darted about the forest, looking for anything that could be used, but the damn organic place was devoid of resources. Earth is so worthless! As soon as he takes over, these biological paracites will be the first to go.

"You must have something!"

[Tony Stark/Iron Man]

"Aw shell" Donny cursed as Starscream's power suddenly dropped. Donny grabbed the wrench and some power tools that Tony fortunately provided. Donny turned to Starscream and replied trying to be patient "Don't panic. That's the first thing, I'll find a way to make this less harmful for you" Donny then went into Starscream's power wires and tried to combine them to save him time as well as get starscream to calm down
XXXX

"By the looks of thes---" Tony began before being interupted completely by Starscream's outburst and Donny's hustling and bustling. Tony after a while responded "I can definitely say this is going to be a hard job" Tony turned to Spoony and replied "Yo. Spoony"

Spoony turned to Tony and replied, slightly off-edge "Yeah?"

"Do me a huge favor. Since Critic and Linksano are taking a long time, I need you to hold some screws for me while I do a few into Starscream here" Tony responded

Spoony turned to the nervous IHeart before going over to help tony. Tony then gave him small but noticable screws and gave a hand notion for Spoony to wait for him. Then Tony drilled faster

[Deleted]

Bruce scurries backwards away from the robots outburst. "Anything I can do Tony?" the doctor asks, fiddling with the screwdriver he held in his hand. Bruce was at a loss when it came to giant robots and how to fix them.

The Decepticon wasn't in one of his more logical states at the moment, given that he was hanging on by a thread and that he had more pent up frustriation than he knew what to do with. He'd hate to say it, but he was consitering taking back what he said about friends being useless. It'd porbably make the whole ordeal less unpleasent if he had someone fimilar around. Hell, even the other Decepticons, who were just a big scum bags as he was, would be welcome at this point - even if they'd probably just point and laugh while Megatron facepalmed. Starscream suddenly felt himself dip into a relaxed state, almost as if drugged. He didn't speak again, and that was probably for the better for everyone who was free from his bitching for the moment. The only sign he showed that he was still with them was that his eyes didn't black out again.

Maybe this wasn't so humiliating. Maybe he'll just lay here. Bide his time.
