[challenge] Backstory Challenge

[ajremix]

So it's JUST slow enough for me to put this up. It'll be the first of my (hopefully) monthly 24-hour challenges. If I can recall to do this on a monthly basis it'll be (idealy) on the first or within the first week of the month.

So this month's challenge is going to be backstory. Pick a character- whatever character you know (or think) I'm familiar with and I'll write a short drabble depicting their past however I see it. Because I probably won't be able to get to these as quickly as my previous challenges, you're free to pick three characters at a time. After I've finished all three of your challenges, you may pick another three. If someone else has picked a character you wanted to see a story of, you can still ask for them and I'll just do a different scene.

CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED BECAUSE GOOD GOD I HAVE SO MANY PROMPTS I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH MORE^^;;

Fireflight

He was on a meandering flight path over some ridges when the rest of the Aerialbots caught up to him.

"Fireflight," Silverbolt called out- his tone carefully measured and neutral, not wanting to sound accusatory until he knew what was going on, "you're out of formation." Slingshot was kept discreetly at the back to keep from making an acrid comment.

"Sorry." The red jet said meekly, suddenly realizing that- on their first official outing as a team he'd wandered off on his own. "I just... saw something odd."

Slingshot muttered something that was quickly shushed by Skydive telling him that Silverbolt was dealing with it.

"What did you see?" The large jet asked patiently.

"I saw a ground vehicle going up on the western path from the base."

The rest of the Aerialbots paused. "What vehicle? Nothing showed up on our radar."

"Yeah, didn't come up on mine, either. I thought it was kinda weird so I followed it and I think it's heading towards Decepticon territory."

"Waaaait a klik," Slingshot broke in, "how did you see it if it didn't come up on radar and no one else saw it?"

Fireflight waggled his wings in a jet-version of a shrug. "Dunno. Just did."

"Hey- I think I see it!" Air Raid called out, looking through his imager. "Big cab with mid-grade armor, right?"

"Yeah, that's it."

The five jet meandered in small circles and Silverbolt could feel the other four focusing on him expectantly.

"Change in exercise," he told them, "we're going to follow this vehicle without alerting it to our presence."

The others crowed happily. "Copy!"
