[Medbay is a weird thing for her to think about considering the closest they have back home is Bee's first aid and whatever Nightshade has managed to teach themselves. They've never been to a medic before and once arriving here they still hadn't had a need to.]

Check up? I don't need a check up. I'm fine. I already told you that.

[She laughs and rubs her hands together.]

I mean, we never needed it back home so why would we need it now?

[emojibot]

I believe you! But it's just a precaution-- [he keeps his hands clasped, though they tighten slightly uncomfortably.] --honestly, the medics will likely want to corral you and Twitch eventually anyway.

[expression carefully placid, he moves back so he's not hovering over her so much.]

I was going to bring it up sometime soon regardless, and we do not need to do it with any urgency. [a beat passes, then with a more genuine tone:] I am glad you have returned.

[hashtaggayrobots]

Why corralling? Why do they need that?

[You are not actually making her feel less concerned about this, Optimus. She loves you but doctors can be scary! Look at Mandroid! Not all doctors are like that, she's sure, but who needs to find out?]

Can't you just tell them how okay we are? You see us all the time!

[She leans in to hug his arm. Not unlike a child hanging a bit off an adult larger than they are.]

Wheeljack checked us out, doesn't that count?

[emojibot]

...I'll tell them. [he says, relenting for now. temporarily running out of existence juice is horrifying enough without being pushed into a scary new experience. optimus crouches down so he can properly hug her back, wishing he could protect her from the difficulties of this reality as easily.] Ah... Wheeljack saw to you? I'm glad future-me made at least one sensible choice.

[he can only assume it's the wheeljack of their own reality in the months hashtag mentioned he hasn't experienced yet. there isn't a wheeljack here that he's aware of!

optimus glances down at her with a light smile.]

What did you think of him? I'm sure he enjoyed meeting you. Distracted as he might usually seem, Wheeljack does always see what he needs to.
