Road's gotten right up to the bars, but doesn't bother with a ready stance when they can't actually get to each other. "Oh I'm sure we could manage fine in a much smaller space." He'll give Side's a smile that suggests he doesn't mean fighting.

"Hey hey, what you implyin', Con-bot?" Sideswipe heaves himself larger up in front of the bars. If it had been Sunstreaker, there would have been a lot of disgusted gagging. His hands settled on his hips and the edge of his mouth curled.
Behind him, Bounce clapped a handover his mouth and shuddered in the shadows, nearly giving himself away mid-slow, purposeful sneak, and giving Road a really incredulous look. Really? ... Really?

He chuckles and leans forward the little bit that he can, letting optics slide casually off Sideswipe so he can get an idea of where Bounce is at without giving the little bot away. His expressions shifts just breifly when he's not looking at the sportscar. You got a problem pipsqueak? He's lookin' at me instead of you right?
"Oh nothing you can handle I'm sure."

"I can handle you just fine. If these--" He smacks at the bright glowing bars; the energy snaps and cracks at him and he jerks his hand back. "--weren't here, now we'd be talking!"
Bounce, in the shadows, draws a finger over his throat and points at Road. I am going to kill you. And then hugs the floor, taking advantage of the sudden clatter of sound to bolt for the stairs.

Road can't quite stop the upward quirk up his mouth when Sides hurts himself. He runs fingers just close enought to attract the crackling energy without provoking it into snapping back at him. A little more noise to cover small retreating footsteps if need be. " Well not much that I can do about the bars, toughstuff."

Blue sparks leave a heavy ozone smell in the air as Sideswipe crowds up the bars. "Yeah yeah, that's what they always say. And then you get in a nice low punch an' their all puking their internal wiring back up through their mouth."
There's a certain side to side bounce to his step, eager for the distraction.
Behind him, Bounce books it. A foot slips on the stair as he disappears up them, a slight scraping sound, that the already back-up Sideswipe hears. He cocks his head to look toward the stair, as if considering somethign strange in a split second.

Eyes dart a moment to the stairs...clumsy, that's not like Bounce. Then his attention is right back on keeping Sideswipe's. His smile is challenging, if it's only one of them he wouldn't mind a tumble. Better than rotting in here anyway. "Oh I'm pretty sure I don't have much of anything left to bring up. If you could even hit me in the first place."

"A small 'con like you? No problem." Sideswip flexed a hand, hefting it with an eager slash of a smile.
And then Bounce was gone, out of sight and hearing.

"Hey now, I may be small for a con but I'd say I'm about just right for bot your size. I'm already torn up to boot, I don't think you'd get in to much trouble for opening the door..." Bounce was out...now Road really wasn't into this anymore. "But I guess it can't be helped if you're afraid." He shrugged and stepped back from the bars, indifferent, to lean against the back wall.

"Afraid? Me? With you looking like a bit of slag I accidentally stepped on?" Sideswipe punched a fist into his open palm. "Just let them listen to me, I'd fix your problem up right fast."

He smirked, sliding back down to sit against the wall " But they won't listen to you will they? You're only small time, just like me."

"Small time? I've wiped the floor with Cons twice your size, short stack, who you calling small time?" He loomed large against the blistering crackle of the energon bars, the streaks of blue dramatic counter to the carefully buffed red gleam of his jacket.

"Ha, so? I've taken bots and cons three times yours, no sweat. That means nothing in rank though right? Your sent down to check on the pathetic rotting con? You're nothing."

His eyes glowed a dangerous blue when he narrowed them. "Nothing? I'll grind you assplate so hard under my boot--"
Heavy thumps came down the stairs behind him, and so did a low, rolling voice. "Stand down, Sideswipe. We got another one."

He gave Sideswipe a knowing grin, waiting for the bot to back down as ordered, as a low ranking soldier like himself should. In his mental victory he barely noted the order from the other bot... wait what? What stupid fuck got himself caught?
