Bulkhead had just returned from patrol nearby the Autobots' hidden base, having just walked back inside ready to settle down for this cycle, recharge a little after a quick energon refill. He was currently walking towards the Energon stocks which the team had around, prepared to grab a quick portion for himself to enjoy while he relaxed somewhere. Instead, he was suddenly engulfed in a hug? From.. Clematis? ''Woah! Wh- what's the occasion?'' He asks, slightly stuttering as he did as he was taken aback by the sudden gesture.

M4VER chittered at Bulkhead curiously. It has decided it wants to follow him around!

Bulkhead turns to look at her, then lets out a chuckle. ''Imagine if I had landed somewhere else entirely, like somewhere in Europe? Like.. Finland, for example? How crazy would that be..'' He responds, first - at least.. but quickly opens his intake to add something else right after. ''..But.. me too. I'm glad I met you.'' Bulkhead added with a reassuring, gentle smile directed at her.

''Really? Huh, uhh, you actually think so? I.. doubt I would. I'm kind of big, clumsy, remember?'' Bulkhead asks.

"S- Soundwave? You're back??"

Bulkhead had been hanging out in one of the local parks located in Detroit, during a beautiful winter day with clear skies outside, just being by himself and painting something when he suddenly felt himself get struck from behind with something. The next thing he knew was that he was already on the ground, having been cornered by a few Decepticons and was slipping in and out of conciousness, rapidly switching between being online and offline, until he couldn't fight any longer and fell offline for the time being, leaving him competely under the mercy of the Decepticons. The worst part in all of this was that his painting got knocked over and got ruined as soon as it hit the ground. Joors later, he woke up in a cell, being heavily restrained. His both servos and pedes were chained up. He glanced around in a panic.. and that's when he spotted her, right next to him in the same cell. ''Hey, wh- what's going on?'' Bulkhead asks, slightly starting to panic now as he attempted to break out of the chains holding him to no avail.

Dreadwing still often leaves out Energon at his berth or somewhere in his quarters, in the hopes that it'll be gone by the time he checks back on it. It gives him hope that maybe, just maybe, Skyquake is still with him.

"Wasp? What are you doing here?" Bulkhead asks, getting his weapon ready and pointing it at the other boy in case they tried something.
