Chris looked down a bit and nodded. This was very true, his vision could have been nothing. But until they found out, he didn't need to cause more trouble then their already was. At the next comment, he sighed again, he began to shake his head, but stopped. "Yeah, actually..." He commented, looking at Ratchet "I need you to look at something..." He then added "I know you sad I only cracked my rib in that that battle, but I kind of think I may have hurt my wrist too."
He then added, explaining in the best way possible. "The reason I went down was because moving my left wrist, I felt a really sharp pain." He motioned to the fact his old watch wasn't on his wrist as a result "I may have just pulled a muscle, but personally it feels like I may have sprained it." He guessed it was probably just a pulled muscle, but one could never be too sure. He hadn't been able to move it much since the 'Barricade' insident in which Frenzy had had a sharp and powerful grip on it.

Ratchet scanned the left wrist. Yep it was sprained. Frag it all how did he miss that? Perhaps he needed to overhaul his scanning processors and algorithims. He gently took the boy's wrist in his own hands. He'd have to put a stiff brace on it so it could heal. He dug in another cabinet till he found some soft wraps and a left handed brace. He put a numbing salve on first before wrapping it firmly. Ratchet finally put the brace on leaving it unfastened so Chris could do it to a comfortable fit.
I cant believe I missed that the first time, thank you for telling me. I wouldnt lift anything heavy with that hand for a while and keep the brace on. I know its restricting but it will help heal the sprain quicker. He put away the salve and walked over to his desk. He reached into a jar and pulled something out. He then walked back over to Chris, smiling.
Since you've been a better patient than most... he handed the boy a Strawberry lollipop. Now before you think I've gone completely soft, its sugar-free. he said with a grin.

Chris nodded, most likely Optimus would be a bit freaked out, but at least it was a sprain rather then a break. He had never broken a bone in his body, and he didn't plan to start now. He slowly got it into a comfortable position, and then fastened it the way he knew it should be. He had seen Ratchet do it before, so it was rather easy. "Yeah, you can thank Frenzy for it." He commented "The little fragger probably snapped it when he tackled me."
He chuckled a little at Ratchet's lollipop gag. Though Ratchet was pretty crazy sometimes, but in Chris's eyes, not a 'mean' crazy but a fun crazy. "Thanks for listening though Ratchet..." He nodded "I really needed to talk to someone about it." He added.

Oh you can bet a ship full of energon on that lad. he activated his rotor saw for show. He'll be lucky if I dont snap him, but thats if your father doesnt get to him before I do. He smiled at the boy and gently ruffled his hair.
Of course, you can always come to me, BUT, You should also consider Optimus. Sure he may be overprotective, but he is your father and has the right to be. You mean the world to him, ya know? he said with a grin. Truthfully all the autobots cared for Chris, each in unique in their own way of showing it.

Chris grinned, though he knew Ratchet wasn't kidding. When it came to him, David, or Ratchet's own daughter, he had a very protective attitude. "Easy Uncle Ratchet, at least I wasn't hurt worse." He explained "Worse things could have happened other then a cracked rib and sprained wrist."
Chris listened to what Ratchet had to say about the next part. He nodded slowly. "I know, Dad used to tell David and I that all the time." He then added "But, I just don't know how to tell him with all he has on his plate right now." He then asked, looking at the brace "So, how long do you figure it will be before I can get this off?"

Your father is Prime. He has and no doubt will always have things on his plate.. Ratchet chuckles, ..hehe and sometimes more than he chew, but thats why Ironhide and I are around. But Ratchet went back to a serious tone.
Your Father needs to know when something is wrong or bothering you. He only wishes to help and see you through anything. You are no doubt part of the reason, He leads the way he does. To give you a future.. He laughed a bit and ruffled the boy's hair again.

Chris looked at Ratchet, he was speaking the truth and he knew it. Sometimes it was obvious he was fighting for he and David to have a future away from the war. That's why he had actually sent them away in the first place... To keep them away from the war, to give them a life. He never understood that, however, until he was older.
"You're right." Chris nodded calmly, then looked down "I'll talk to him about it when I'm ready though..." He knew Ratchet would understand that.
"By the way, any chance you can talk to Ironhide about laying off on the whole 'Chris and David need to be homeschooled' subject?" He didn't know where Ratchet stood on that subject. But Chris really didn't want that.

Very well.. Ratchet said in reply, knowing that when he was ready he would do as he was told. He chuckled a bit at Chris's reference to Ironhide. Well Kiddo, Education is very important. If you don't keep up with it you will have a lot of catching up to do once all of this is over. Now I understand this is a big change at the moment so I'll get Ironhide to back off some. BUT, I want to see you working hard when the time comes......

"Well I didn't mena I wouldn't study... What I meant was." Chris began biting his lip "What I meant was meant was, letting me go back to school, you know, public school." He had a feeling he was going to get a long-winded 'that's out of the question' speech. But hey, yet again, it was worth a try.

"You know that it is too dangerous for you to go to school. I can understand you miss your friends and wish to return to some normalcy. If the decepticons were to attack, we would find it extremely difficult to save so many innocents." Ratchet said. He knew how the kid felt he truly did. "However since we have gotten some new arrivals, we might be able to figure something out. I will ask Optimus, but do not expect good news....."

When Ratchet first started Chris bit his lip, that was the answer he was afraid was coming. Most of the Autobots believed it would be dangerous for them to go to school. But when he said he would try, he took a deep breath. Though like Ratchet said, he would not get his hopes up at all. "Thanks Uncle Ratchet. I mean, trying is better then nothing." He commented, then added "But I do understand that. It would be hard to protect them. And I may end up loosing the friends I miss if that were the case."

"Dont worry kiddo, Everything will turn out good in the end." He patted the boy on teh shoulder. He grinned at Chris's answer, smart kid. Ratchet made a mental note for the next meeting to speak with Optimus afterwards.

Chris hopped down from the berth calmly. Figuring he had taken up enough of Ratchet's time. He had other patients to see, and he had gotten out everything he had needed to. "Well, I'll leave you to your work now." He commented, as he began to walk out "I'll talk to you later Uncle Ratchet."

Alright youngling. Now remember no heavy lifting with that arm. I dont want to have to see you in here because you worsened it. He gave Chris a small hug from his uncle Ratchet. He then followed the boy to the door, seeing him out. Have a good night Chris.

Chris returned the hug calmly, before nodding at Ratchet. "You two Uncle Ratchet." He nodded "And don't worry I won't." And with this, he walked out of the med bay and headed straight for his room. He was tired, and the bed was calling him. Hopefully there would be no messages from Primus that night and he could get a nice, long sleep.
