Soundwave, or more precisely his drone, had deployed a tendril to work on repairing the damage to Laserbeak's right wing fan. The repairs didn't take long and within just a few minutes the silver bot sent the twin avians to flight, heading off away from the area with strict instructions to leave the humans alone unless directed otherwise. He then turned and looked at her, watching her as she retrieved her pack, noting the cut across her back was oozing vital red fluid humans called blood, and was far too close to her Asynchronous Transfer Adapter, what humans called a spine. He remained there for several moments, unmoving, merely observing, watching her quietly as he detected the signal she was sending from the device in her hand. Apparently she was contacting someone for help, and Soundwave debated whether to remain until her friend arrived or to leave her as she was.

Cira rose a curious, questioning eyebrow at the Decepticon watching her once her text was acknowledged. That awkward moment wheeeen...you have a Con staring at your bleeding figure. {"Do ya mind not starin' at me? Yes, that's blood on mah back."} Of course her other question was simply wondering who this Con was...there were few she'd encountered before, thankfully. Of course, Cira had no idea this was a 'drone' of sorts she was looking at, a secondary body of the true being, but Cira had no reason to suspect such a thing right now, as she had no way of knowing. Perhaps there was little point in knowing who he was...but did it matter? Being a liaison for NEST, she kind of had to get all the information she could sometimes.
Aww hell, it couldn't hurt to ask. "I guess I probably can't get a name from ya, can I?"

Soundwave turned more fully towards her and stepped forward, tilting his head thoughtfully for a moment before he crouched down in front of her, one forearm resting on his knee. Without a word, he slowly brought his other hand forward, reaching out towards her as if seeking to touch her back, his head slightly tilted thoughtfully as he watched her, moving slowly so as to not frighten her or make her defensive. He was curious about this human, and he was also a bit concerned considering the damage his avian symbiotes inflicted upon her. He had watched the confrontation, thus he had decided to intervene on her behalf. He chose not to say anything, merely let his actions speak for him. Giving a name would be pointless and counterproductive, so he remained silent for now. Soundwave was always a mech of few words, only speaking when it was actually necessary, and even then he was very much to the point.

Cira stood still nervously, gripping the one pistol she had yet to put away as Soundwave took a knee to get a closer look at her. Well it seemed she couldn't get a name out of him, but no matter, she could ask around if she really wanted to know. Cira tried to get names to put to faces where she could as well, just because that was how she was. Was he concerned about the damage his symbiotes, pets or whatever had brought her?
"S'okay. They could've gotten mah neck. But they DIDN'T." she said with grit teeth. "Once I get stitches I'll be fine. Coulda been worse. Could've been worse fer 'them' too." She had only used one bullet in each gun, after all. Had Soundwave not arrived when he did, she would have kept firing until they sustained enough damage it would slow them down preferably yet, keep them from flying-or flying far at all.

Soundwave simply nodded at her words, pulling his hand back and taking what she said as her not wanting or needing his attention or help. He remained crouched there for a few moments more, merely looking at her thoughtfully. He could see she was strong and determined, and the more he finds that perhaps the Autobots were right in seeking the humans out as allies. Yet Megatron was determined to destroy the Autobots and the humans. It was foolishness, he knew, yet he was trapped, at least for now, because of the decisions he made long ago, believing Megatron was right when he was dead wrong. Only time would tell if Soundwave would fall with Megatron, but he had hope that perhaps he could somehow save some of what remained of his race, and in doing so, enable the rebuilding of their home, their culture, their race, all that they are. He then stood up to his full height, still looking at her, though he did not otherwise move, for the moment.

Cira anxiously waited for KITT to show up, as he was generally following her around most of the time unless she was spending time with Jazz. More recently though, if she wasn't around Jazz in visibility range, KITT was always nearby, as a protector and co-worker, ready to help. It didn't take long for Cira to spot that familiar black Mustang with the twin red scanners though she knew it was possible he would be in a different form since she was injured, and when she realized this, she couldn't help but be relieved at his timeliness since the pain was a bit uncomfortable still. She turned as she saw him moving swiftly up the street towards her from the left in a disguised police alternate mode (the Crown Victoria), lights flashing but no siren going off.
Cira gives one final look at the mysterious silver drone before turning and moving swiftly over to the AI recognizing the scanners quickly despite his temporary disguise as a police cruiser.

KITT appeared in his Crown Victoria form, the lights on. He popped open his passenger door and had his holoform activated with the windows tinted quite dark. He regarded Soundwave curiously, thankful he had not been the only one nearby to help Cira, and glad he had taken responsibility in retrieving his symbiotes before they did more harm. He had seen some of the action on his way before Cira had sent the text thanks to his surveillance ability. The AI seldom took his scanners off Cira when they were apart, simply because ever since he grew fond of her step father, he in turn became very protective of the entire Knight family. He flickered his headlights at Soundwave as Cira shut the door, giving him her thanks for such a timely arrival before rolling forward just as promptly.
The AI was admittedly curious about this mech, so he did a quick scan and saved the images for later in case he was able to put a name to the figure at a later time.

Soundwave remained still, only his optics and head moving just enough to look to the new vehicle and watch Cira go to it and get inside. He recognized this one, a human built AI vehicle with several variant forms. The Decepticons had recovered and rebuilt this one's brother KARR, and Soundwave knew this one's name was KI3T. He remained still, watching them in silence as they moved away from him, only a slight nod in response to the flickering headlights. Soundwave controlled information and communications among the Decepticons, and in turn, he controlled the Decepticons from within. He kept detailed files on both Autobots and Decepticons alike, and allies to both sides. Yes, he knew this AI, and he knew Cira Knight. He let them go, knowing their connection to the Autobots. It was his hope that perhaps these small gestures would serve to grant him some reprieve, perhaps sanctuary, if the Autobots win the war.

"Well this is a familiar disguise." Cira periodically glanced back in the rear view mirror at Soundwave as they moved away, wondering who the mysterious mech was who evidently decided to let her go safely. Securing her phone in her pocket, Cira tried to keep her back pressed against the seat with a light hoody of hers from the floor of the passenger's seat behind her to help stop the bleeding as KITT accelerated to a nearby hospital. He was not going to wait to get her transported back to FLAG for medical care by their own employees, it was not worth the wait. "Thanks KITT." she winced a bit as she leaned back fully. Oh that hurt...she reached into the glove box compartment and fumbled one section of it for any intense pain relievers KITT might have in his medical aid kit. Finally finding the most intense pain relievers she could find that wouldn't knock her out, she consumed the required dosage.
As KITT accelerated and weaved his way around traffic with his roof lights flashing and sounding off, KITT dialed 911 for immediate clearance to the nearest hospital so she could get proper stitching. It was a pretty long, nasty scratch, and though the bleeding stopped quicker than KITT thought, one end of it cut rather close to the spinal chord...Cira wasn't hurting too bad at this point though, so she was able to relax a little on their way now since the trouble was behind her.

The drone watched the AI speed away with its human passenger, and once they were out of sight, the silver bot transformed and casually drove away from the area. He knew the human was hurt pretty badly by his avian symbiotes, but he was well aware that she would get the necessary repairs to her battered and leaking frame. High up in orbit, as his drone made its way to the highway away from town, Soundwave watched as the AI drove straight to a human medical structure, what they called a hospital. Once he knew she was taken care of, he turned his attention to other matters, the global data network he kept close monitor of from his lofty perch. He knew that soon he would have to make his stand, hoping that all was properly set and in play to ensure the safety of his symbiotes, his own Sparked daughter, his adopted son, and one other whom he thought was simply too far out of his reach. One day, he would put an end to it; either the war would end, or he would die trying to end it, but at least his family would be safe, one way or the other.
