*The next morning Zero will give Bee a choice about putting on a fake collar, much like what Prowl is wearing.  If he agrees they'll head home, and if he doesn't they'll stay put until night and travel then.  Zero won't force things either way.*

Prowl: Yes, of course. *will lead Bee off into the house*

Pips: *a small femme Autobot Prowl met before* Oh, hello. *grins at Bee and shifts to come meet them* You must be new here. I'm Pips. *offers her hand*

Bee: *glances at her, sees the Autobrand…and collar . . . /shame/ clouds his face as he shies back, gaze dropping* I'm sorry… *and…suddenly…a memory of a similar-ish introduction makes him almost smile…almost…* I-I mean . . . um, Bumblebee. I'm Bumblebee. *another quick hesitation…and finally takes her hand…still can't quite look at her, though*

Pips: *gives his hand a shake even as she gives him a curious and concerned look.* You were on Earth too, with Prowl, fighting Megatron?

[2b_a_hero]

Bee: *grimaces* Yeah . . . lotta good it did, though. *looks up at her, and there's /pain/ in his optics* I'm really sorry. We failed, Megatron won, an' now /everyone's/ paying for it.

Pips: *gives him a bit of a lopsided grin.* I think we have different ideas about this. I was going to /thank/ you. You stood up for us before we ever knew we were being threatened. You, *glances at Prowl* both of you, your whole team, is an inspiration for so many of us. We're gathering and preparing to stand, because of you guys. We know a small group probably canmt win, even if you guys came close, but we're growing in number and soon we'll strike. I really hope your guys will join us. It'd really be great for morale to see you guys among our numbers.
