There's something about the type of disbelief that finally makes Jack loosen up a little, looking down at his knees instead of watching Road like a hawk. His lip curled. "Smokescreen. Bastard."

Hmm Smokescreen...smokescreen, ah! " Ah, he's a pain in the ass isn't he?" Finally, shit head is relaxing. Well he must not be to bad off anyway, doesn't look like he's leaking.

"Double-stack back-firing bastard," Jack ground out without pause or hesitation. Flat. Brow deep and twitching slightly at the corner. His fingers flexed with the urge to dig them into deep tangles of inner cabling. "Going to get my hands on him and rip his forsaken smoke pipes out and use them for shooting practice."

Road chuckles, amused at Jack's vehemence. "Yeah yeah, I'm sure you'll rip him apart if we get out of here."

His eyes slid to him. "If, not when? Nobody caring about your skidplate ass?"

Road can at least be amused and keep a smile on with Jack here to put on a show for.
" Why should anyone, I'm hoping the bots'll just get tired of having me take up space and kick me out."
He won't tell him about his little friends on the inside and he'll assume Bounce is clever enough to stay away.

"Hmph." He layers his arms, not ... exactly disappointed, as someone trapped might be expected to be. Netural, more like, studying the bars with a distant eye that meant that, maybe, somewhere in the legs there's a brain trying to work on something. "Gonna drive them crazy so they dump you somewhere? It might work, with you, considerin' your an idiot."

"Nah, I'm not useful to them, so either they get tired of keeping me running, or I convince Sideswipe that he really does want to open those bars. Course that route might be blown now that you're here." Well Sides'd probably rather brawl with his brother around so maybe having two cons to beat on will make getting their cage opened easier. That is is he can't convince Bounce to let him out.

"Not important enough even for Autobots to care about ya? Ha." Jack slumped back, body finally boneless and insolent. "Ha."

"Ha? You sayin any of these Autobots give a shit that you're here, Legs? You're not gonna be able to keep that high speed motor running on the amount of energon they bring down here, if they remember to."

His eyes lidded, an indistinct glow flickering in the back of them deep red. "We'll see, we'll see. I'll still be able to kick your ass even on an empty tank."

"Ha, you wish. I'll kick your can any day. Especially if you have an empty tank." The little bit of energon Bounce had brought him was doing him good, his eyes glowed dim but steady.
He took advantage of Jack relaxing to try and get a look at his damage.

The arms looked like old wounds. His legs were mostly okay, except for a scrape against something sharp that had ripped through his black pants and into the skin to leave a flicker of blue showing underneath. Internal fans worked feebly to cool struggling systems, humming when things fell quiet. His clothes were dirty and torn, the over-jacket with its Decepticon patch looking threadworn underneath, and from how he held himself, he'd been punched, or dented, hard in his side. There might have been a smaller, accessory dent and torn outer plating in his head where coolant had clotted in his hair.
Either someone had run into him or he'd run into something, and the resulting scuffle had not been kind.
Jack eyed him up eyeing him, and shifted his arm back over his stomach. "Autobots can't be doin' all that good if they can't even spare some low-grade energon for some prisoners of war. Thought they had their fuckin' high moral ground shit about treatment of sentients."

"Sure, they do. We're not exactly suffering here, and what the higher ups didn't know won't hurt them right.Sideswipe might as well be a con." He had gotten up and approached Jack as he spoke, toeing the other bot when he got close. " Let me see."

His foot twitched out of the way of Road's prodding, body snapping up closed like a clam being poked. He squinted up at Road, brows twitched down into a deep v. "What? Why? So you can just punch it?"
