"Because it's fun!!!!" Wildrider laughed, though his laughter quieted when he got a good look at Jasmin. "G-Geri?" He was shocked. His rims spun a bit against the street as he tried to move closer. "Is it really you? You can see now? And...you're still young?" Confusion set in. It had been quite some time since he had seen his old human friend, and if he remembered the time passage correctly, Geri should appear a lot older than the girl in front of him was.

The girl gave him a puzzled look. "Huh? My name's not Geri, it's Jasmin. You must have me confused with someone el-" She froze for a moment a a thought hit her. She wasn't who he thought he was, she knew that for certain. But there was someone who people had said she looked like the spitting image of in her youth, her aunt Geri. It seemed to make sense. Geri had been blind and would have been older at this point. "Are you talking about Aunt Geri?" she ask almost breathlessly. "Did you... know her?" As unlikely as it seemed it also seemed to add up. She glanced back at her now transformed friend and then fixed her attention on the Decepticon again. "Who are you?" she demanded.

The Autobot looked back and forth between the two of them, not quite sure what to make of all of this. One thing was for certain though, as soon as the Decepticon had said that name 'Geri' their danger level dropped to almost nothing. They both seemed a bit shocked at the moment but it also seemed neither of them was about to make a move. They wanted to ask what was going on but clearly they were both trying to figure that out themselves so for now they just stood there watching, hoping things would not take a turn for the worse at all.

"Geri was my friend." Wildrider replied, a bit saddened that the human in front of him was not Geri at all. "I met her when I got in trouble and had to be by myself for a bit, and we hung out, and talked and stuff!" His excitement slowly returned as he spoke, though his attention was quickly distracted by Jasmin's demand of who he was. "I'm Wildrider, and I like to bust stuff up!" He exclaimed with glee. "It's what Stunticons are best at!"

Jasmin's eyes widened at the name and she damn near dropped the gun in her hand. Memories flooded to the front of her mind as she recalled the time she had spent with her aunt when she was younger and the stories she had told about herself and her old friend who had gone by 'Wildrider.' And now here in front of her was a Decepticon by the very same name who claimed to be an old friend of her aunt's. "All this time and I never knew..." she murmered. There seemed to be a certain irony to the situation. Here Jasmin had found herself living with Cybertronians when her aunt had been friends with one years before they were publicly known of, and now she just happened to cross paths with that very Cybertronian. Some might call it coincidence but it seemed too much of one to really be that. "I don't believe it... Why didn't she ever tell me you were Cybertronian? I just... Sorry, this is a lot to take in..." she said shaking her head in disbelief.

The Autobot looked at their human friend with concern. They'd never seen her so shocked before. Even when they had first revealed themself to be Cybertronian in front of her it seemed as though it didn't even phase her. They weren't sure what to make of the situation now. They felt no real danger from the Stunticon but at the same time Jasmin was caught so offguard, something they had come to think was near impossible. They went over to her and gently placed a hand in her back comfortingly. "Are you okay, Jasmin?" They were answered with simply a nod from the girl and turned their attention to the Decepticon, an obvious proteciveness apparent in their bright green optics.

Wildrider gave a shrug, at least as best he could while in his vehicular mode. "Beats me. Maybe it was because when I met her, I was already in trouble. I don't know! Thinking isn't my thing. I just break stuff. And drive. I like driving.Especially when I get to go really fast!" He didn't pay much mind to the look Arc seemed to be giving him. His tires were nearly repaired, and his force field was still active. "Maybe we could go see her and you could ask! I'd like to see her again!"

Jasmin froze for a moment and looked at Wildrider as a realization hit her. He didn't know yet. "Umm... it's a little late for that. Geri is..." She took a deep breath. It hurt to say it and even more because she had to be the one to tell Geri's old friend the news. "She's no longer with us..." she said solemnly. "A few years ago there was an accident, the car she was in was run off the road by a supposed drunk driver, though they drove away so we can never be sure. The accident... it took her. I'm sorry..."

Arc looked back to Jasmin with concern. It was very rare to see her upset and it was something they never likes to see. They gently began rubbing the girl's back to try and comfort her and was met with her moving in closer to them, which they didn't mind in the least. Even if all they could do was comfort her right now at least it was something. They would rather that than just stand around being useless like they usually seemed to be. They looked back at Wildrider to see what his reaction to the news would be. There was still no danger but Arc's main concern now was that the Decepticon's reaction may be disrespectful and hurtful to Jasmin.

Wildrider grew very quiet at what Jasmin had said, his frame shaking a bit. "She's....gone? She's.......dead?" There was pain in his voice, pain that was foreign to him. He was familiar with pain, but this wasn't the same. This wasn't the kind that he could get his repair system to fix and then it would go away. "Do....do they have any idea who did it?"

Jasmin shook her head. "Like I said, they drove away. No one ever found out who it was." She lowered her head, her voice darkening a bit. "But if they ever find out that mother fucker better watch their back..." She shook her head again with a sigh. She could get fiercely protective, especially when it came to her family and those she considered close enough to be family. "I'm sorry to have to tell you but... well, it's only right for you to know seeing as how you two were close." She looked up at Arc, seeing the concern they were showing for her, reaching up and patting their leg reassuringly. "It's okay, Arc, I'm fine. Don't worry..."

Arc nodded, though they felt a bit guilty in doing so. It felt like a lie to them. They wouldn't stop worrying, they knew that, but at the same time they wanted to satisfy their friend's request. She always said they didn't have to worry about her but it was hard not to. Normally it was because she'd gone and disappeared to do something crazy, dangerous, and most likely illegal. Granted she always came back and she was, as she always promised she would be, alright. But this was different. They knew she could be emotional but she was normally quite cheerful, now she was upset and sad and not only was that uncommon but it was painful to see.

"Yeah..." There was a dark tone to Wildrider's response. His processor was racing through all the thoughts of what he would do if he ever found the one responsible for Geri's death, and none of them were pleasant, or merciful. His engine growled lowly and angrily, his entire frame tense, almost as if he was ready to charge and rampage once more. "They'd better watch their backs...."

Jasmin shook her head a bit in frustration. "Even so, nothing can actually bring her back..." she said with a sigh. "Whether or not the mother fucker get's what they deserve she's gone. But..." She looked at Wildrider, her expression sincere. She could tell he was genuinely upset by the news, she got upset just recalling it. "There is one thing... I know where Geri is buried, I could show you where it is so you could at least say a proper goodbye. I dunno, maybe it'll help a bit. I know it's not much but, hell, it's something. I mean, it's up to you but if you want the offer is there."

Arc moved a bit closer to Jasmin as Wildrider's aggression began to rise again, ready to scoop her up and move her out of harm's way if he were to lash out again. They had noticed the tires growing back a while ago as his systems repaired him, no doubt he'd be able to charge forward again soon. The fact that Jasmin actually offered to take him someplace, which would mean traveling with him, was unsettling and they partially hoped that the offer would be declined, especially considering the display of senseless violence earlier that they had to stop. They weren't trying to be mean by mistrusting the Stunticon, they were merely concerned for their best friend's safety.
