Zero: *optics online dimly, hand shifting just enough for the backs of his fingers to touch TC. His voice his weak, but his spark will echo the same.* There's.....nothing to... forgive. I love you...TC. I'm s-sorry. *that he's had to do what he hates to save Zero. His strength is used up then and he'll go still, tucked into TC's spark and just concentrating on not dying.*

TC: ........*catches up that hand in both of his, forcing himself to calm down and be still* Shh. Just rest, Master. I've got you. You're going to be all right. I swear it...

Zero: *gives TC a small smile, his love and pride for TC pulsing softly along the link. He'll just settle, spark clinging to TC, tucked into him, feeling safe and secure.*

Jumps: */finally/ arrives. He moves quickly to TC's side, resting a hand on his shoulder a moment before moving to check on Zero.*

TC: *with the arrival of others, a shot of /panic/ goes through TC at being "caught" at what he's doing…almost pulls back from Zero on reflex, but catches himself partly because he can't for Zero's sake and partly because he registers that it's Jumps who /told/ him to do this . . . h-he just nods and shifts so he's not in Jumps' way, keeps his head down to avoid seeing the look in Iron's optics at what he's doing…*
