Ironhide carries Will into the washracks and sits after turning the water on.

"its alright, we'll just sit here a bit." Ironhide murmurs. Will leans back against him.

"you guys don't have organs right?" Will mutters.

"not like humans, why?" Ironhide ask.

"I feel like my insides are tangled and strangling each other." Will groans lowly.

"hold on." Ironhide murmurs.

"Wheeljack, does Will have antivirus?"

"no, not yet. Ratchet and I haven't uploaded the program yet. we just got it written a few weeks ago. why?"

"Wills about to purge."

"don't feed him any of that energon out there, don't drink a cube either, its been tainted and its bad, we're working on it."

"we haven't yet, but he is sick. if he doesn't have antivirus, then it could be dangerous."

"I hate to ask but is he actually purging? if not he has to wait a little while, half the base is purging everywhere."

"well, no, he's not yet, but he looks ready to."

"unless he is, I really need to get back to Jazz. if he starts bring him in too."

"great two useless bots." Ironhide mutters.

"huh?" Will mumbles.

"apparently its bad energon, half the base is purging and in the medbay." Ironhide mutters.

"told you not t' bother'em." Will mumbles.

"I know but if you're sick, I want them to know." Ironhide murmurs. Will cuddles up to him, mumbling. "shhh. its alright." Ironhide murmurs.

"we haven't had any energon in a while." Will murmurs.

"I know but they're just going to assume you're sick like the others and aren't all that worried if you're not purging everywhere." Ironhide murmurs. Will looks awful, looking slightly pale.

"I think m'gonna puke." Will mutters.

"thats why we're in the washracks. it'll be easier to clean up in here." Ironhide murmurs, rubbing his cheek gently.

"what a crap end to a crap day." Will mutters.

"hey it wasn't all bad. I enjoyed spending time with you." Ironhide murmurs, rubbing his cheek gently with his thumb. Will leans against him with a soft whine. "I know, you feel like crap, but its alright." Ironhide murmurs, leaning back against the washrack wall. he looks up hearing someone walk in. Optimus stares at them shocked.

"oh, sorry. I heard the water on and was coming to turn it off. I assumed everyone was in the medbay." he frowns. "well, except Prowl and I." he mutters.

"no. we just got back from the farm. we hadn't had a cube yet, but he's already feeling sick. we're staying in here in case he purges." Ironhide frowns. Will looks utterly dreadful.

"have you told Wheeljack and Ratchet?" Optimus frowns crouching down. "his system is running hotter than normal." Optimus frowns.

"yeah I told them, and I know. they're so busy with everyone that they're not concerned unless he's purging." Ironhide mutters. "but Wheeljack says the antivirus was not in the one year update." Ironhide adds.

"no antivirus?" Optimus ask shocked. Ironhide shakes his head.

"he's okay. I've got him, we're about to get up anyway. I think he's in stasis." Ironhide murmurs, shifting the little bot in his lap.
