OOC: Takes place on Day 5 of travel, open to all 'Bots.
There is a new 'Bot on watch in the room storing the meteor rocks. Though actually calling what he is doing 'watching' would probably be stretching the term. Rather, Jetfire is draped upside down over a chair, fully absorbed with attempting to balance a small, round pebble on the nub of metal that could be counted as his nose.
Whaaat? Watch duty is more boring than patrol! At least then he could fly around and make tricks and the scenery changed...
Sighing heavily, he upsets the precarious balance of his nose-pebble and sends it toppling to the floor. Keeping his knees hooked over the back of his seat, he stretches out to try and reach the little rock. This would not be nearly so tedious if he had his brother to keep him company...

For a moment, Jetstorm was listening to Swindle and Lugnut bicker.
The next moment, he finds himself in a totally different room, and with less footing than he had beforehand.
Namely, the sloped part of a big rock.
"WAAAH!" Jetstorm flails, and with a loud "FUMP" lands on his backside, groaning.
"...this must be being Decepticon trickery..." he says, sitting up and holding his head.

Jetfire freezes mid-stretch as a cry - an oh-so-familiar one at that - fills the area, his head snapping around towards the source. That could not possibly be-? Of course, making sudden movements while balanced precariously is not the smartest thing to do, and the white-and-orange 'Bot finds himself tumbling off his chair to land in an awkward pile on the floor.
But it is an awkward pile that gives him a full view of the newly arrived Autobot.
"...Brother?" he squeaks, hardly able to believe it. Then in a blur he scrambles upright and with a burst of his rockets sends himself flying at Jetstorm. "BROTHER!"
Look out, Jetstorm, you have a jet-propelled glomp in your future.

"Huh? Jetfire?" The blue 'bot looks up, and only has a moment to freak out before Jetfire crashes into him, sending the pair tumbling among the rocks.
"So you are being victim of strange Decepticon trick, too? We seem to be stuck in a room of rocks," he says, and then wonders just why he was tackled. "...what was that being about, anyway?" ---------- OOC: Tumbling of Jetfire done with player permission.

After their tumble, Jetfire peers at his twin in slight confusion for a moment. "Decepticons? What has Decepticons to do with anything? You are... you are..." His words trail off as his bottom lip begins to tremble. He cannot look at Jetstorm without being overcome by the fact that his brother is here, with him. After so long! So maybe he is being a bit of a sap, but his brother is here.
"Brother!" he shouts again, trying to squeeze the blue jet in a tight hug. "I missed you very much!"
If he had tear ducts, this would no doubt be the point where he burst into manly tears.

Jetstorm's visor blips momentarily, and then he headtilts at the outburst of emotion. "...but, I was being right next to you just a moment ago?" he says, his arms lightly wrapping around his brother comfortingly. "We were imprisoned by all the Decepticons that Sentinel Prime captured."
He's still confused, even moreso that his brother's acting like they've been apart for months.
Little does he know, that's exactly the case...

Jetfire shakes his head fiercely, continuing to cling to Jetstorm. "I have been here for very long time, but you were not coming with me! I-" His optics open wider. "Wait, Decepticons?"
Relinquishing his grip, he sits up to stare Jetstorm in the face, looking equally confused. "Sentinel Prime made to capture Decepticons? And I do not remember ever being imprisoned by 'Cons."
What in the world is his brother talking about? The last thing he remembers, they were on Earth with Sentinel Prime and Jazz, and Optimus Prime's group, and had managed to sort out the confusing with the Autobot traitor Wasp who was not actually a traitor, and- Oh. Jetfire suffers a small epiphany.
"You... must be coming from different time than I was taken from." He sounds slightly disappointed by this. If his brother came from a slightly different time, is he still his Jetstorm?

Well, now Jetstorm is even more confused.
"...but where is here? I will be telling you about that, but I think I need to know where I am being..." he says, rubbing the side of his head. It hurts a bit. "And what are you meaning by different time?"

"We are being on alien planet- no, wait, actually we are being on giant spaceship leaving alien planet," Jetfire starts. "But that sort of where is unimportant, because the important where is that we are in whole other universe! Lots of different bots are being taken from different universes and put in this one together. Sometimes they are from same universe as other bots, but they are not always being from same time in line.
"Little time after we are figuring out what is going on with Wasp, I ended up here, too, but not you," he says with a pained smile. "That was many months ago."
He shakes his head slightly, then continues, "But you are mentioning things I am not remembering to happen, so I am thinking you are coming from different time!" His head tilts. "But I am not missing from when you are from?" He looks a little crestfallen at the idea. If that is the case, then technically this is not his Jetstorm exactly. Somewhere out there is another Jetfire that experienced things with his brother than he never got the chance to.
...Oh, what does it really matter? His brother is his brother is his brother! It does not matter how far off a when he came from, or whether or not there are other Jetfires out there that might share more experiences with him! Smiling brightly, he jolts forward to grab his twin in another crushing hug.

Jetstorm boggles at this explanation, silent all through it, and wincing slightly at the hug. He pats his brother on the back, wondering just how to take this.
"So I am no longer being on the Elite Guard ship...and you say you come from just a few days ago to me, but have been being here for months..." He scowls a bit, holding his head again. "This is making my processor hurt."

Jetfire nods encouragingly and sits back again. Let us see how long he lasts before hugging Jetstorm again this time. "It is all very confusing. I am not understanding it all myself even after months."
He pauses for a moment, just grinning, then moves to clap his brother on both shoulders. Well, at least it is not another hug? "But it is all okay, because now you are being here!" Suddenly he remembers something. "I should be letting people know that you are here!"
//Kup, sir! I am having brother! Well, I am always having brother, but I am now having brother here with me!// Jetfire says excitedly over his comm. //We are in meteor rock room.//

Pardon Jetstorm if he isn't sharing the same enthusiasm. He hasn't been separated like Jetfire has! "Ah, right others. So...is Sentinel Prime and Jazz being here? Or are we the only ones being from our universe here?"
While he waits for an answer, Jetstorm looks around the rock-room, and mentally comparing it to storage areas of the ship he's used to. If anything, it beats being stuck in a cell and listening to his commander complaining.

"I have not heard of Sentinel Prime or Jazz being here," Jetfire says with a shake of his head. "But I am most certain that Optimus Prime here is Optimus that we are knowing! And there is newly arrived Prowl who is sounding to be same cycle-motor as from home universe!"
He scratches the edge of one goggle lens. "Other than that I am not being sure."
Staring Jetstorm in the face, he suddenly leans forward slightly, putting on a serious expression. Inside he is almost bursting with laughter. "Brother," he says, voice low. "I am not believing it, but..."

"Only being those two? Huh..." Jetstorm glances down, pondering a bit. A mite disappointing, he supposes. More new 'bots to meet, though, so that's good.
Then Jetfire leans in, and Jetstorm gives him an odd look. "What are you not believing, brother?"

Jetfire's serious face quickly morphs into a smirk. "...You are somehow getting even uglier than I am remembering!" And with that, the orange-and-white jet bursts into laughter.
He is so getting hurt for that, but it was so worth it. He has been sitting on that for months, honestly!
