Brawl is a more uncooperative patient than Flame might like, but not so bad as he could be. He squirms a little, because the suction wand does not feel at all pleasant in there, but he makes no audible protest beyond a bit of grumbling under his breath.
"If you was bein' brainwashed, you wouldn't know about it. That's how they get you," he opines.

“See, Brawl’s got a point.” Vortex sounds quite amused by this. “Anyways, I think the issue ‘s more whether or not you're gonna think you’re worthy here and that is definitely really only your problem.” Most Decepticons didn’t give half a wit about 'worthiness' anyways, they were more thinking about whether or not someone would be useful to them. It's how they ended up with a whole society of rather morally reprehensible individuals.
Flame was getting the useful part down pat so far, even if it was at the expense Vortex and Brawl at the moment. He didn't have a lot to apologize for when he stood in the same room as the Combaticons to begin with. That really only left the fire tank's own silly little problems and standards for him to sort through; at this rate, Flame would never be 'worthy'.
Vortex should probably stop trying to poke the mad doctor.

"I have no idea what you mean," Flame says dismissively to the both of them as he sets aside the wand and gets to work on repairing the shorted circuitry. As if what he thinks matters. It's what command thinks of him, what Spinister thinks of him, that carry all the gravity. "Stop fidgeting," he hisses at Brawl and firmly seizes the other tank by the barrel.
If Brawl will behave, Flame can even finish things in the next post, because he's remarkably efficient at his work when he tries. It'll never be as neat or pretty as Needlenose's, but it's serviceable.

"I ain't fidgeting! You're pokin' my insides and it's makin' me twitch!" Brawl protests, slamming a fist down on the berth.
The only reason he doesn't try to throttle Flame when he grabs his barrel is because he's already in trouble and doesn't want to get in more. He's giving the other tank a murderous look though.

“Oh my,” Vortex purrs at the barrel grabbing action. “I ain’t complainin’ ‘bout the tank on tank lovin’ here doc, but I don’t think Brawl digs you that way!”
Then again Brawl grabs Vortex’s rotors on a daily basis and they didn’t dig each other that way either. What was it with his teammate and getting into compromising situations?

Flame spares a moment amid his attentions to Brawl's damaged circuitry for a withering look at Vortex.
"Shut up," he snaps, disgusted at the show of perversion. He makes a point of finishing Brawl's repairs in short order, quick and efficient, verging on the brutal sort of speed he learned on the battlefield. Doubtless, he thinks as he closes the last panel, Brawl appreciates an end to the poking and prodding. "There," he says brusquely. "You're done."

"It ain't lovin'! No-one else ever likes it when I beat on 'em, why can't you act normal?! If I wasn't gettin' surgeried, I'd pound the paint off yer stupid face!" Brawl insists, putting on what he likes to consider his scariest, most dangerousest face.
Then Flame closes him up and he clenches his fists meaningfully, making to stand up.

“Awww,” Vortex coos, propping his chin up on his palms and beaming up at Brawl. “You’re the best friend with benefits a heli could a’ ever asked for!”
“Although we prolly shouldn’t do it here cos, y’know,” he jerks his head meaningfully at Flame. “‘Less you got a voy thing I didn’t know ‘bout?”

"You will not start a fight in here!" snaps Flame as he lurches to his feet and full height, fixing an icy glare on Brawl. The abrupt movement leaves him just a little dizzy, but he adds without pause, "I'll call you back when it's time for the next test. Go about your business. Beat him up somewhere else for all I care, but you'll not do so here, or so help me…." He actually has no idea what he has leave to do that won't in turn bring a punishment down on his head, so he leaves the threat dangling.

Brawl glares at Flame for a long moment and it almost seems like he's going to lunge at him. Finally, though, he backs down. If he gets into too much trouble they could yank his personality component out and put it in a drawer. Or a human science project.
"One of these days, Vortex, I'm gonna have the time to hit you until you stop enjoyin' it." Bang, zoom. Straight to the moon.

“But then you wouldn’t have much of me to hit anymore!” Vortex gives Brawl the saddest look ever. So sad!
He also gives Flame a rather amused look at his attempt at being threatening, helpfully adding, “Dissect you piece by piece with a blowtorch on low burn?”

The stare Flame fixes on Vortex is positively murderous.
"No," he says in an acid tone. "Firstly, that is disgusting, barbaric, and I'll have nothing to do with it. Secondly, if I completely lost my mind and any sense of self-preservation and did vivisect you, assuming command didn't have me summarily executed," he rants, voice rising in volume and pitch as he goes, "I'd have to put you back together again, and frankly, I think you're both quite done for my company, so the sooner you're gone, the better." He slams his kit down on a tray adjacent to Vortex's berth with a sweeping, dramatic gesture. "Now if you please, be quiet so I can see to your repairs and set you both loose to terrorise some other part of the ship." While he addresses both of them, his frown is focused solely on the helicopter.
