Soundwave moved to kneel next to Laserbeak, gently running his hand over the little avian's back as Laserbeak gave his brother a sour look, then looked up at Soundwave, offering a soft squeak. With an inward smile, Soundwave gently picked Laserbeak up and cradled him in his arms, letting the fledgling Raptobot snuggle into him for a moment before taking him back to where Buzzsaw still sat, then backing off again, extending his hand to them once more. ~"Fly to Alpha."~ he coaxed again, waiting quietly for them to make the attempt.

Laserbeak was glad of the comfort from Soundwave, snuggling into him and churring contentedly, knowing his big protective Alpha loved him and wanted to make sure he was okay after such a terrifying fall. He could have really hurt himself! Though he was very glad that he didn't really have all that far to fall to the ground. When he was set back on the perch again, he glared irritably at his brother. //~"If you think you're so smart, you go and do it then."~\\ he squawked back over the bond, pecking at his brother as if to pointedly shoo him off the perch with a hiss and flap of his broad wings.

Buzzsaw gave a hiss when Laserbeak pecked at him, hopping a couple times sideways on the perch before stilling. //~"Alright already!"~\\ He replied before looking over at where Soundwave was standing. Pausing for a moment, he tentatively spread his wings, closed his optics, and jumped, flapping his wings as hard as he could. Unfortunately, he failed to open his optics again, at least until after he'd crashed into something with a squawk.

And that something was Soundwave as he caught the black and violet avian against his chest, staggering back a couple steps. He looked at the young Raptobot, somewhat amused. ~"Visual awareness while flying, required."~ he told Buzzsaw, petting his back to calm him down. He then walked back over to the perch and set him next to his brother, petting and reassuring them both for a few moments before retreating back to where he had been standing before, looking to them and extending a hand towards them again. ~"Fly to Alpha."~ he intoned softly, looking to Laserbeak as he spoke.

Laserbeak snuggled with Soundwave as he petted them both, then watched as he asked them to attempt to fly again. //~"At least I actually look where I'm going."~\\ he teased his brother and hunkered down, lifting his wings and jumping up and forward, flapping hard to get going. His flight was awkward, but not as awkward as his landing as he reached out for Soundwave's dactylin only to end up missing with one talon and falling past that appendage, resulting in the black and red avian hanging upside down by one foot, squawking in terror and flailing wildly with his wings trying unsuccessfully to right himself while his free foot frantically tried to grab onto Soundwave's arm.

Buzzsaw shot Laserbeak a glare as Soundwave carried him back to the perch, carefully releasing Soundwave's armor to sit back on the perch. //~"At least I got to him."~\\ He quipped back with a shove of playfulness over the bond. Watching Laserbeak take off, Buzzsaw waited until his brother had landed, or at least attempted to land, before taking off himself. Propelling himself forward, he flapped his wings had to gain more altitude, attempting, and failing, to land on Soundwave's shoulder on the other side, coming in a bit low. With a squawk, he began scrambling to get up.

Now that he had two frantic young fledglings desperately scrambling trying to regain themselves and a proper perch on him, Soundwave vented sharply trying to push aside the pain inflicted by their sharp talons. He brought his free hand up under Buzzsaw's backside and eased him up onto his shoulder. With the easy part done, he turned his attention to the frantic Laserbeak, lifting his arm and reaching down to grab him around the back of the neck, which made the avian freeze and squeak in alarm. He gently lifted the black and red bird, turning his hand as he did so to shift Laserbeak from hanging upside down under his arm, to sitting right side up on his arm. He then let Laserbeak go and brought his arm in close so the little avian felt more secure on his perch. ~"Intensive practice sessions, required. Observation of feral Raptobots, necessary."~ he concluded after a moment, then looked up and over to where a flight of them had taken off and were circling. They weren't Canyon Raptobots, like Laserbeak and Buzzsaw, these were Northern Raptobots. Soundwave had gone North to Nova Cronum in an effort to escape the area that caused him the most pain, the area around the South Western rim of the Sonic Canyons, the place where he had met, loved, and lost his beloved Siren. Looking at the aerial dance of the Northern Raptobots, he decided to get closer so his two little avian companions could see them better.

As he was being righted, all he could do was look at Soundwave, his optics wide and a bit fearful. But Soundwave never hurt him, and once he was right side up and actually perched on Soundwave's arm, he snuggled close and nuzzled his Alpha's chest affectionately, as much to thank him for the help as to apologize for scratching him. When Soundwave Spoke, he nodded in agreement and settled in for the walk towards the other Raptobots, watching them in their flight as they drew nearer. ~"They aren't like us. They're smaller, different shape."~ he observed as they got near enough to see them more clearly. He looked back to Soundwave, uncertain, then to his twin brother. But Soundwave's confidence and comforting strength helped to ease his apprehension and he turned his head to watch the others fly around them.

~"They look funny."~ Buzzsaw added, watching the feral raptorbots. ~"How come they look funny?"~ He asked, turning to look at Soundwave.
As the trio on the ground observed, two fledglings were preparing to take their own first flight. Unsure chirps and squawks were directed to their parents, who gently nudged them closer to the edge. The first one to be nudged out of the nest completely was the black one with red and gold accents. With a shriek, he fell out, wings flapping frantically to catch himself. One of the parents dove after, helping their child catch the wind. When her brother began successfully, if awkwardly, flying, the black one with silver and blue accents was nudged out next, the act of first flight very much the same for her.

Soundwave looked to his twin avians, then to the ones flying nearby. ~"Northern Raptobots. Smaller, different configuration, agile fliers. Watch, learn, understand flight."~ he told the pair as he watched with slight amusement at the new fledglings attempt to fly with their progenitors' help. ~"Progenitors guide, teach fledglings."~ he assured them softly, cradling his pair close to him as they watched.

Laserbeak huffed softly as he watched, snuggled close to Soundwave's chest. ~"Small, I could eat them."~ he remarked, which brought a dark scowl from his Alpha that made him regret the words and he lowered his head apologetically. ~"Hungry..."~ he finally churred softly, and Soundwave's nod assured him they would be fed soon. The small bird bot felt himself being shifted and realized his Alpha intended to feed them while they watched the others as he saw the siphon tube slip out from between Soundwave's armor plates at the base of the left side of his chest plates. Since Laserbeak was already in position to feed, he was fed first, and once he had taken his fill, he found himself lifted to Soundwave's shoulder while Buzzsaw was gently brought down to be cradled while he fed. Laserbeak merely nuzzled his Alpha and churred softly in thanks, then looked back to the smaller Raptobots again, hoping he could indeed learn something from them and perhaps one day learn to out-fly all of them.

Buzzsaw gave a slight snicker at his brother's comment, though quieted at Soundwave's reaction. Seeing that it was feeding time, though, made him give a quiet chirp, moving into place once his brother was done. ~"What happens if they don't fly?"~ He asked, looking up to their Alpha.
The two fledglings were certainly far from graceful, almost crashing into each other once, though they were quick to learn. Their progenitors guided them, nudging them up when they got too close to the ground. One of them, the Beta, gave a warning squawk when the group got a bit too close to Soundwave and his avians, circling to watch the large mech.

Once both his young Raptobots were fed, he let one perch on each shoulder to watch. ~"They will fly."~ he assured them softly. Hearing the warning squawk from the Northern Raptobots, he remained still as a statue so as to hopefully appear nonthreatening to them. He merely allowed them to circle him and approach as they chose. After they had circled him a couple times, he allowed his sonic cannons to emit a soft harmonic resonance, a gentle, soothing, cyclic tone that he hoped would assure the wild ones that he meant no harm to them, a sound that resonated softly from his own Spark.

Hearing the sound made Laserbeak hunker down on Soundwave's shoulder and nuzzle against his neck in an almost sleepy manner, his optics shuttering closed as he churred softly in response. He forgot about flying, forgot about the other Raptobots, forgot everything but wanting to snuggle curled up with his brother in his Alpha's arms.

Buzzsaw watched the Raptorbot that had squawked at them carefully, snuggling closer to Soundwave until the avian decided to move on. When Soundwave began emanating the sound, he let out a squeak of a yawn. ~"Sleepy..."~ He chittered, beginning to shutter his optics.
Deciding that the large mech and his two avians were of no threat to the family, specifically the fledgelings, the Northern Raptorbot circled away as the sound began to play, guiding the curious young Raptorbots away as well.
