I can't say. It's just what came up when I looked. [she frowns.] There was another thing, too... you do something with an alien computer. But-- I don't know if it's here or... wherever. It's a difficult choice for you. A scary one.
He's the Prime of Transformation or something. ...I wonder if the other guys had anything happen to them.
[He doesn't dwell long on that thought with what Mikaela says next.]
Literally any computer we come across is going to technically be alien... [Trying not to look too concerned about the scary part and failing pretty badly at it.]
Best to ask? [she moves herself back and forth in the wheely chair as she thinks it over. there wasn't so much to it this time, but it seems straight forward even then.] The others you were with, I mean.
[the thing about computers makes her still, frowning.]
Yeah. That's true, it just popped up and felt like I should say it? It was really... hidden.
[Donnie nods, making a note on his phone. He hadn't really talked to the others that he'd fought alongside with, probably subconsciously trying to avoid any reminders of it.]
Well...I ...guess I'll try to remember to keep an eye out whenever I'm around alien tech then...
[That sounds exhausting. He hugs his knees, deciding maybe it's better to think about other stuff, but all the other stuff isn't that great.]
Sorry for making you see that. The Ampri thing, you did see what happened, right?
[quite recently, too! but she hasn't yet been turned off using the power she was trusted with, even if she does get a little anxiety from it. the net gains outweigh the negatives thus far.]
Do you... want to talk about it, like, normally? Is this stuff happening uncontrollably for you? Does it make you tired?
[The thought of anything worse makes Donnie cringe, although now he looks at Mikaela, a little concerned. Just what all has she been seeing? Ugh, magic stuff is awful.
He kind of looks at her funny when she asks if he wants to talk about stuff. ]
Well... not uncontrollably? I have to really have a clear image in mind of what I'm expecting, I guess. It gets a little tiring if I keep at it, like...I start feeling a pull, I don't know how else to describe it. Mostly for bigger things though, but I guess that makes sense. Despite this really not making sense.
That's good, at least? Maybe keep an eye on it so you don't accidentally change stuff while you're asleep or whatever, especially now you're actively aware of having this going on.
[mikaela stops half-spinning herself in the chair, pulling her legs up into it to sit cross legged.]
Man. Show me one magic thing that makes sense and I'll show you something that isn't actually magic, honestly. I think it's worth talking to the other people you were with, to see if they've had anything else happen. Maybe the guy wanted to live on through you guys and dropped the power into you?
[He's still hesitant about that, but Mikaela makes some good points. Just because he got his power from a Cybertronian jerk-god or whatever, doesn't mean that he has to be. And he sure isn't eating anyone's souls so...!
It's no problem. I'm sorry I couldn't see anything clearer for you to get a solid answer, but that's just how these things are sometimes. [she hums for a moment.] So how much experimenting have you done with this, again? Can you make organic stuff? Does it stay forever?
I know it makes you tired, but I think you got a pretty sick power, man. I can give you a whole load of broken plates to turn into things you actually need for your work. There's no shortage of junk you could literally turn into treasures!
[He leans back in his chair, drumming his fingers against his arm.]
It's been an in-progress thing, but I've been experimenting ever since I found out about it. I can't do organic- probably because there's a whole lot going on there. But so far as I have seen, it does seem to be permanent, whatever I have made so far. Of course, it hasn't been a month since I've found out so... Yeah, still testing.
-but ohmygosh you're right, I can just cut right to fixing up some broken part if I need it in a fix. It is amazing! I think my limit is proportionate to my size. I can't like...transform anything bigger. Small things don't take too much out of me though.
So um. If you need anyone to fix anything? Or...I don't know. Just need something random, I guess I'm your turtle?
Yeah, see! It's what you make of it! [which fits in nicely with the transformative nature of the power itself.] You wanna work on some mechanics together? I'm super rusty and might need some real pointers to start with, but it'd be fun to get back into the greasemonkey biz. Uh. Greaseturtle?

[He sighs.]
Touché- if it made any sense I would've figured out how to connect with my brothers by now.
...You're right though. I'll see if I can get a hold of them.
[His face pinches at the suggestion- Ampri is not someone he wants to be reminded of.]

Don't get me wrong, I still think that guy was a punk bitch. But if you can do good with his ability, then you are not one of those.

Thanks, Mikaela.
