Good thing people aren't paying attention to his shaking gun. It would tarnish his reputation as a smooth operator!
But it does help him calm down, even if one optic is still blinking. What did she do? What did she steal? This is not her modus operandi; what else did she do? Did she see anything? Assault lowers his rifle before subspacing it, but he still keeps a safe distance between himself and her, watching her with paranoid optics.

Scourge gives Blackarachnia a look that seems to say, 'Seriously?' He has to do it, though, because he can't look like a pansy in front of Assault. So he reaches to grab Blackarachnia by the shoulder.
At least Assault's put that gun away for now.
Someone's rifling through his systems. Blackarachnia will find that smooth, at least - Scourge has a slight mental weakness of being easy to reprogram - just lifting the drivers for his copious amounts of weapons shouldn't be hard at all. It's painful for Scourge, though, but he stoically doesn't show it.
He reports, "Hmm, power levels decreasing."
At the minute and a half marks, he grunts, and his visions blurrs a bit, stars at the edges. This is going to knock him out, he realises, if he holds on much longer.
At the two minute mark, he lets go and steps away.

Blackarachnia stands there stiff and still while Scourge clasps her shoulder. Upset and worried as she is, she can't help but be impressed by just how extensive his abilities are- and by how quickly he did as she asked.
When he lets go, she turns toward him, accessing his condition. If one looks closely, he might see the shadow of concern on her face before she closes her eyes and slumps against the wall.
"It's populated through my entire system. My entire skin. I can't touch anyone without..."
"I'm even more of a freak than I was before."

Assault watches them the all time, not moving away but not moving closer either. When Blackarachnia slumps against the wall, he is...Unsure of what to think, let alone do. Well, there's one thing, but he can't...Take care of this new risk with Scourge around.
But perhaps it's wise to leave these two alone. Assault starts backing down, taking one step at a time, keeping his optics on them until he can round a corner and make his getaway.

Scourge is rather happy he doesn't remember any of his intended Autobot existence, because Autobot values seems to have really, really screwed Blackarachnia up badly.
"Sword of Fury," Scourge intones, and his blade is in his hand. He steps back and tries to prop up her chin with just the tip of the blade, and he barks, "You discover yourself even more deadly than before, and you think you're a freak? Can't think of one positive to a new weapon? Come on. You like my sword? Disarm me."
He glances over at Assault and directs, "Get to medical, soldier, and get yourself checked." Scourge will, too, later, when Blackarachnia's done boo-hooing over being able to injure with a touch.

"It would be a weapon if I could turn it off," she counters, speaking carefully so as not to shift her jaw painfully against the blade, "Or can you think of no reason I might want to be able to touch someone without knocking them unconscious first? That's not my kink."
An equally long, equally red sword appears in her hands, and she swings it up in an attempt to knock Scourge's away. And yes. It does require her to use both hands.
She isn't completely clueless on how to wield the sword, Scourge might notice. That's one advantage of her ability; she gets basic proficiency along with it. At least enough to manage.

Blackarachnia's not clueless, no, but she's not Scourge, either, and she doesn't spend her free time drilling it, one handed, two-handed, until she's sore.
He lets her think she's got him, feinting, and then he tries to twist and trap her sword against his, flat against flat, and her growls lowly, "And do you think I can turn this off?" He gestures hazily with his free hand. A grip that can crush girders. A front grille that can slam through meters of stone. Frak, it's easier for Scourge to bust through a wall than it is to open the door, some days.
"We are dangerous without thinking. We are Decepticon. Don't be upset about what you are."

Scourge's sword succeeds in having its way with Blackarachnia's sword, which also succeeds in trapping Blackarachnia in position. (If her player is understanding the move correctly). Breaking the trap requires skill that the spider doesn't have, or that she let go of her weapon, a thing most are loathe to do.
She chuckles lowly, bitterness eating at the edges of the sound, "Oh we are Decepticons and we are deadly. In all things."
"I know this well."
Blackarachnia does let go her sword then, but not in the expected way. She lets got the commands holding it in existence. As it disappears, she spins to one side attempting a roundhouse kick at the tanker. She's hoping the sudden loss of opposing pressure put Scourge off balance enough to counter act her lesser strength.

Scourge could normally take a kick to the head, especially a kick to the head from someone who much lighter and weaker than he is, but Scourge just let Blackarachnia half suck the life out of him, so he goes down with a clatter. There a tingle, just a slight one, when she kicks him, and he actually break out laughing darkly. He rolls on the floor and comes up on a guarded ground position, observing, "I like grappling. I'd like to grab you by the wrist and throw you. If I do that, though, I'm going to get an unpleasant surprise. That's something you'll be able to use against anyone who tries disable you in melee."
Forget guns! Swords for all!

"Hmmm, kinky," Blackarachnia purrs, dropping into her own defensive stance.
"My reality has a more of a bent toward hand to hand combat than some of the others, I think. It isn't always about who has the biggest gun."
She attempts to close and slam Scourge back against the wall. The tanker will find that she is suddenly much stronger than moments ago. One hand tries to grab Scourge's wrist and twist if roughly back and to the outside.
"Should we move this some place more... private? You know how Hook frowns on oilletting in the hallways."

All the innuendo is not lost on Swindle, who appears around the corner. He's about to make a snide comment, but thinks better of it upon reflecting that Scourge is large and high-ranking enough to beat him to an oily pulp and get away with it. And Blackarachnia is a maneater in more ways than one.
He just rolls his optics and makes to tiptoe back out the way he came.
In and gone again unless someone notices and stops him.

Scourge is second in command. He can have innuendo-laden fights with Blackarachnia wherever he pleases. Swindle goes ignored.
Scourge was in a guarded ground position already, which gives him a great deal of leverage against being slammed anywhere, but Blackarachnia is indeed stronger than she normally is, just as strong as he is! There's also a catch when she tries to twist him. Fighting the strange tingle, he goes with the direction she tries to force him and outright tries to throw her that direction, rising to his feet.
"Training room?" he asks.

Scourge succeeds in tossing Blackarachnia down the hall! She flips with the motion, lands on her feet, and slides to a stop.
"Yes."
That one word says so much, if Scourge were worldly enough to catch the inflections.
She saunters back toward Scourge, unguarded, not on the attack. She pauses in front of him.
"Let's see how long it takes to wear you out," she says before heading toward the training room.

Scourge needs to watch more of Shockwave's terribly interesting propaganda videos. Maybe the ones where the protagonist woos his intended by presenting the corpses of traitors. Scourge likes those ones but feels they could use more fight scenes.
Scourge rumbles, "You half drained me already," but he's not worried. If he can't fight half-tired, he'd be a sorry excuse for a Decepticon!
Soon enough, he is at the training room, immediately going for the controls.

She lets Scourge get to the controls first, curious as to what the tanker will call up.
"Honey, I won't be happy 'til I've got you flat on your back and exhausted," Blackarachnia quips, "I'm in a mood."
"And since I can't take care of that mood in the more pleasurable way, I might as well test the limits of my new power- and your strength."
She moves up and tries to steal a kiss before whatever simulation he makes drops her where ever it may.
