[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^^;;

"...Jack?"

He turned at the hesitant sound of his name and was just as surprised to see who was by him. "Topspin! Look at you, all beefed up!" Wheeljack strode up, quick and eager. It felt odd being able to pet his hands on Topspin's shoulders without having to stretch upwards. It wasn't a drastic change on him, but he was far larger and heavily armed than the last time Wheeljack saw him. "You're all business now, huh?"

"Me? Lookit you!" Topspin said weakly, trying to get over the shock. "You're... you..."

Wheeljack's vocal indicators flashed with a low chuckle. "Surprising, huh?" He turned, showing off his mech body. "Got transferred into a larger body. I helped pioneer the practice. Still has some kinks in it, but I'm in great shape myself."

"Huh. How 'bout that."

The two stood, looking at each other in an uncomfortable silence. Wheeljack felt something deep inside plunge, twisted and cold. "Don't like it, huh?"

"No, no!" Topspin said quickly. "It's just..." his hand traced over the hood, remembering where there was once a windshield, once slender curves and delicate angles and he missed them, yeah but, "it's better for you in a stronger body." He said eventually.

"But you don't like it."

A hand grabbed at his and Topspin gave a soft, honest smile. "It keeps you safe. That's more than enough reason for me to accept it."
