Summary
Phoenix Fire's fuel pump began hammering in his chest. Attacking the intruder felt like the right course of action, when the mech trespassed with unknown intentions.
He stared, hesitating. But then his optics landed on a familiar shape at the stranger’s pedes. Behind the figure laid Sebastian, toppled over and completely motionless. His heat sensors hadn't registered him earlier, for the butler was out cold, long cooled to the ambient temperature of the room.
Phoenix's threat systems came immediately online. He splayed open his palm, about to summon his weapon card when a blur of movement landed a scythe grazing against his neck.
Phoenix froze.
“I said I was a friend.” The stranger murmured. Now that he was closer, Phoenix saw a yellow glow outlining the stranger’s optics.
Phoenix swallowed, flexing his digits. “You’re holding a weapon to my neck.”
*Bloodwing's characterization here is only my speculation, not canon. Just imagining Bloodwing's debut scene before the episode even airs to quell my restlessness from Phoenix's absence.
Takes place after S3E7.

Summary
Buster Gallon made a face. “Yeah…That is not tested—”
Mega Ambler ignored him, and fired a rolling barrel of shots, the deafening noise drowning out the rest of Buster Gallon’s words. Yet, Mega Ambler thought he could still hear the hammering of his chest, despite the endless ringing that accompanied the numbing recoil, and his core spinning painfully out of its casing.
Mega Ambler fired another rapid succession when Buster Gallon looked like he wanted to speak, and only relaxed his stance to zoom in on his scanner, watching the splinters snow down and the smoke wisping away, confirming that all his shots landed to make a medic’s cross neatly in the middle.
“It’s tested now.” Mega Ambler told him.
Takes place after Antebellum: Enter Bloodwing, vaguely after S3E7 as a canon divergence where Bloodwing kidnaps Phoenix Fire, and leaves behind nothing but a cold trail. Mega Ambler does not cope well.
