[horrifically earnestly, gripping optimus's hand with both of his own now:] I would do anything for you.
[you know, if this was anything other than a reunion megatron had not expected to ever happen, he might get a little huffy about that question... but it would seem even he isn't that petty. the bar may be in the ground but he didn't trip over it this time! megatron simply vents out, incredibly tired, the way he always is these days. nothing that happened is anything he wants to tell optimus after he's just got back, but-- optimus can take it. he deserves to know, considering his matrix was used as a shiny piece of bait.]
Things got complicated, but it was nothing I couldn't manage. [is that strictly true? he failed to kill writhe while they had the best chance to do it and doesn't even know if they truly left the cathedral. this remains in the "don't think about it right now" box.] Ba-- Raid was there, in the end, to oversee the creation of a new Slaverlord. He's a Quintesson, of all things, and an extremely obnoxious one at that.
