SPIES

[Some of them have the ability to fly. A talent which makes extractions ten times easier. Not to mention safer. Because when you have the ability to fly, you don't have to use a helicopter to get out of a potentially dangerous situation involving rich billionaires funding the illegal activities of your enemy. And when you don't have to use a helicopter to get out of a potentially dangerous situation... you don't have to dangle from the end of a harness rope thing over a canyon.]

[And that is exactly what's happening here.]

[There's kind of only room for one of them on the harness thing, so half of each of them is strapped in, while they hold onto each other. And the rope.]

[It's only a few miles to where they can be put down safely. But these are, perhaps, the most terrifying few miles ever. What he wouldn't give to have his "father's" strength right about now.]

[ Jolt does not like this, but he's doing his very best to stay calm. That doesn't stop him from using his electromagnetism to steady them every time they get jostled around too much.

He does his very best to stay focused on Sideswipe, and not the ground below. ]

You okay?

[His focus is likewise on his partner, and not anywhere else. He's not afraid of heights. But that doesn't mean he's comfortable dangling like this.]

[... Ironhide would have a fit.]

Oh, yes, wonderful. I just love hanging out of planes on ropes.

Uh, well. I guess the company could always be worse.

... You've got a point there.

[And to prove said point, he takes a stronger grip on the rope, hoisting himself up enough to wrap a leg around Jolt's waist.]

[ skjdhsdad he unabashedly clings at that, the movement jarring them both enough to really scare him ] Jesus Sideswipe! Are you trying to get us killed?
