It was nice to see that Ratchet and Wheeljack hadn't changed in the least. Ratchet was still overworking himself, and Wheeljack was still attempting to convince the CMO to take a break. Ratchet really needed it to be honest, but Bumblebee understood why he was so insistent about working so hard. He was one of the best medics in Cybertronian history if not the best. It was hard to find someone to fill in for him let alone live up to the guy's extensive legacy, and he was insistent that he needed to train recruits first. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it.
But before they could talk more that's when someone had made themselves known. Whoever it was remained hidden, and despite Wheeljack's questions Ratchet was insistent that he would not take part in this mystery. "Typical Ratchet. Always gotta send others to check things out." Bee chuckled, smiling to the medic. "It's alright. I'll go scope things out."
As Bumblebee carefully approached, he did not expect the one in hiding to suddenly just jump straight out with servos up only to blurt out apologies. Raising an optic ridge, the Autobot scout studied the femme. She was barely shorter than he was and actually somewhat close to Nightshade's own height. At least the femme was an Autobot and not a Decepticon, but she seemed to be concerned that she was intruding on their little gathering. Bee didn't think so given that he'd invited all the Autobots he knew and it wouldn't have surprised him if word had reached other Autobots as well. There were plenty more out there that he didn't know, and he had fifteen years of lost time to make up for.
Bee turned back to both Ratchet and Wheeljack, somewhat baffled and confused. "Friend of yours?"

Wheeljack turned his head to see Clematis just as he was looking to respond to Ratchet.
Well, that was unexpected. Honestly, why was she even hiding to begin with? If she wasn't some Decepticon spy there wasn't any chance they'd pounce on her... Then again, he guessed that with how the war had played out and how tense things had gotten, sometimes people could be jittery. Taking a deep vent that they weren't about to have their little reunion crashed by anyone that could pose a threat he nodded to Bumblebee.
"Yeah, this is Clematis, she's someone I met recently actually," He pointed out rather honestly. "What were you doing sneaking around? It's an Autobot gathering! Everyone's invited!"

Once Wheeljack had spoken up Clematis started to relax a bit. This whole situation had gotten so awkward and all because she didn't want to interrupt or feel like she was intruding, and it figured as much that by the time she'd revealed herself Ratchet had already taken off. She must've missed him dipping with her sudden arrival and worries, and while she was somewhat bummed she knew he was a busy mech. Either way she still had Wheeljack and apparently Bumblebee here to talk to, and now she had to try and explain what had even happened.
"I-I'm sorry. I, umm.. I'd only heard about this from a third party and.. didn't want to intrude if I wasn't welcome."
Clematis chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of her helm in any sort of attempt to save the situation. She couldn't even think of anything else to say to help make things just that much less awkward! Oh boy..

So this was a friend of Wheeljack's! While it did seem a little suspicious that Clematis was hiding like she had been, her words made things a little more clear. She'd been worried that was barging in when she hadn't directly been invited. Bee supposed he could understand that given the hand she'd been dealt, though she did seem to be a nice change of pace from the Terrans and Nick. Instead of wild and crazy, she seemed a bit more shy or at least she did at this moment.
"Yeah, I think that might be my bad, Wheeljack. I did send a message to those I knew, and I guess it doesn't surprise me too much that word got out."
Noticing that the femme only seemed to be getting more nervous, no doubt probably feeling embarrassed by the whole situation based on her body language. "Well, a friend of Wheeljack's is always welcome to stick around." Bee smiled, holding out a servo for the nervous femme. "Probably figured it out by now, but I'm Bumblebee. Nice to meet you, Clematis."

Wheeljack on the other hand, was obvious to how nervous she was!
After all, Wheeljack was always the friendly sort. Unless you were a Decepticon, or Decepticon-adjacent. He didn't have time for the evil or evil-doers in the world, did he? He clapped her on the back, and shook his head. "Aw, where's the fun if we always have to put things like "context" into it?" He asked point-blank. "As long as it's not a Con surprise. Or more paperwork on my desk surprise."
Usually, it was one of the two after all.
Putting his hands on his hips, he added. "Y'know, I should go and get us high grade. Make this a real party."

That clap on the back of Clematis' back caused the femme to stiffen for a moment from the nerves. She was already embarrassed as it was, but it was reassuring that neither Bumblebee nor Wheeljack seemed to be against her staying. In fact they were wanting her to! Ex-venting the azure and lilac femme told herself that it was perfectly alright to just relax and just mingle with the two Autobots in her presence. It gave her a chance to get to know the scientist a little more, but this was her shot at getting to actually meet the Autobot scout. She'd heard tale of him and his exploits during the war, but Clematis wouldn't call herself a fan or anything. Bee was just a normal bot like the rest of them, though apparently on some secret mission given things. The Autobots knew that he was to be kept as far away from G.H.O.S.T. as possible, but the femme didn't really know any of the details.
If she had the option to just not have to deal with G.H.O.S.T. she'd be right on board, but unfortunately she was stuck between a rock and a hard place with the obligations to deliver medical supplies she made if she wasn't going to straight up work for them.
When Bumblebee reached out, Clematis nervously took his servo and shook it. "It's nice to meet you too, Bumblebee."
Primus this was so awkward and strange. The femme knew she'd get over it quickly enough, but it was just getting into that state of feeling comfortable and relaxed. However, Wheeljack had his own ideas of relaxing and had offered to fetch them all high grade. "Oh! Um.. It's okay. I don't need any high grade. I, um.. don't really drink it much."
If at all.

Well at least Clematis was starting to calm down a bit.
Bumblebee shook her servo, letting go as Wheeljack offered the high grade. The scout honestly couldn't recall the last time he had had any given his need to be on the move constantly and now having to mentor the Terrans. That wasn't even factoring in everything going on with Nick, so that left Bee in a state of not having the luxury to just have high grade any time that he wanted. Besides, it wasn't like he had it often to begin with. The real high grade hoarders were bots like Ironhide and the Wreckers. Still, it wasn't like a single thing of high grade was gonna mess him up, right? Bee could have some. "Yeah I'll take you up on that, Wheeljack."
Though it seemed Clematis didn't really want some herself. "Hey, I can respect that. High grade's not for everyone and there's nothing wrong about that." Bee smiled reassuringly, turning back to Wheeljack. "Looks like it's just you and me for the high grade."
If Wheeljack was going to get that high grade it at least gave him a chance to socialize with the older mech's friend and maybe get to know her a little bit better. "So, Clematis.. what all do you do?"

With a grin, Wheeljack merely gave a wink.
“Don’t worry, I am not a heavy drinker. One drink, two maybe, I promise!”
He transformed and took off with that. Leaving the two of them to their conversation while he searched for a good spot. It took him a little less than twenty minutes to find one and get back with two high grades. Sighing happily, he decidedly added…. “Man, I’m glad we’re doing this. Maybe I should have invited Ironhide,” He admitted. Scratching his chin he handed the second high grade over to Bumblebee. “That mech doesn’t get out much anymore, I swear. Even at work he hardly comes to the parties.”
He seated himself down and took a sip. “Come to think of it I can’t think of the last time the whole Ark crew partied together,” He admitted. “Seems like centuries ago.”
