Mirage stepped back, falling to his knees out of the way of the tumbling seeker to keep the garrote pulled taunt-

And then Skywarp was gone, the cord falling slack and Cliffjumper clattered to the ground in front of him, nearly in his lap.

Mirage immediately snapped up his rifle, spinning on a knee to make sure the Seeker hadn't ported directly behind them...but no, the hall was clear.

Even if he did not reappear, they needed to move. The Decepticons knew where they were now. Stowing his garrote back into his subspace, Mirage carefully rose back up to his feet. At least Cliffjumper was free.

"Come. We need to move."

Still watching the halls, he offered the minibot a hand up.
