[binary_runaway]

Hey, hi, this is Nova Storm! You found me but you also really super didn't, haha! Do the thing so I can do the other thing back, okay?

Hello, Nova. It has been some time. Can you hear me, I know you must. I probably never leave your thoughts.

Aehah. Don't think of alerting anyone of me, pretty bird. It'll be just you and me tonight all in your head.

[binary_runaway]

[Nova had been dozing when that voice seared its way into her head. She jolts up out of Skywarp's berth and spins around, eyes wide with a fear she still doesn't --can't-- consciously feel. Scrape, scrape, scrape go the remnants of her wings]

[She's dulled her end of the bond she shared with Skywarp since she'd first gotten control over her own body again, and she can only be grateful as she seethes]

Get out of my slagging head, idiot! It's not a playground! [All the same, her chest starts to heave as she vents faster] Piss off! Go bother your lackey, if you want somebody groveling!

[playfultyrant]

Now now. You know exactly why I'm coming to you dear. Your sister compromised my precious Wheeljack. So now I need to use you.

Shhh. Shut up now. And listen.

[binary_runaway]

[And just like that, all of those emotions and restless, nervous energy become smothered underneath a twist in her chest. Nova's optics cycle as even the nearly overwhelming grief and guilt of the last few days shut ups and goes quiet. Everything does. Every time she starts to feel a stab of panic it goes away, too]

[She listens]

Mmm? [She hums vaguely, but that was the extent of it]

[playfultyrant]

You will erase this after words, but you will commit this line to memory.

I want you to keep me up to date. I want to know where you're going, fleeing, or when the crew is in danger.

I will come to your aid. But only on my own whims. You're all mine. Every last one of you.

Remember that. Remember and resist just enough to keep this fun.

[binary_runaway]

'Kay, [Nova Storm vents out with an agreeable nod, only to stop. Something behind her optics shifts, and a puzzled, unhappy frown settles over her face]

Wh- What are you- [Her head snaps up as she lets out a hiss, baring her teeth] When did you- Who said you get to contact me, twerp?! Shut up shut up shut up!

[All the while, without being aware in the slightest that she is doing so, Nova lifts two fingers to her audial and starts to ready to delete the messages and thereafter clear the cache that would still contain them, but not yet]

[playfultyrant]

Oh, yes yes. Keep whining like that. It'll surely make everyone consider you a big girl who can protect her self hm.

Lets see how much I can shift from here... How much I can control. In two days. I want to hear from you. I want to hear you call me your Lord.

That seems perfect. Untill then, delete this. And try not to cry.

[binary_runaway]

Go crawl into a corner of the worst rust pit and die, whatsyourface! You suck so bad charges go in reverse out of embarrassment!

[Even as she speaks, she deletes the string of messages and clears the cache. Afterwards, Nova Storm stands rooted to the spot for a few long seconds before she swears viciously and tears out of her and Skywarp's hab suite. She doesn't even consider telling anyone what has just happened, instead heading to the training room to blow a few things up. Why would she ever do anything else?]
