Watching this big, ugly guy steal a skin right in front of him, Lu Qi recalled that this should be the Autobot Megatron had torn apart.
Damn, that was miserable!
Lu Qi shook his head, grieving for Jazz's fate.
Jazz stared blankly at Lu Qi, whose emotions had changed far too visibly, having no idea what was wrong with him again.
If he knew Lu Qi was observing a moment of silence for him, he would definitely be thrilled, right!?
"Need a ride? I figured you might care about not exposing your identity." Remembering that there was no news online whatsoever about people with superpowers, Jazz tentatively offered.
What identity? An otherworlder?
Lu Qi had no idea what Jazz was talking about, but getting to ride in a Transformer did not seem like a loss.
Jazz thoughtfully opened the door, and Lu Qi silently climbed into the driver's seat. Seeing that the interior even had some mechanical-style decorations, he lightly touched one.
"Did these little decorations come with the car you copied, or did you put them there because you liked them?"
Watching the car dealership recede behind them, Lu Qi had no idea what the deal was with those decorations, so he simply asked Jazz directly.
"Uh, a personal hobby? I like cool little things like these."
"So you specifically picked a sports car?"
"This one was displayed front and center. I really liked it."
Having roughly figured out Lu Qi's personality, Jazz spoke more freely and even started using trendy slang.
"Pretty stylish. Put on some music."
Lu Qi rolled down the window and watched the scenery change outside as Jazz put on some heavy metal.
"Sounds pretty good."
"Of course. You have to trust my taste. I'm not some outdated old-timer like Ironhide."
Man and car continued
