Summary
Hydra was terrible at taking care of himself.
That was just a well known fact on the yard. It wasn't uncommon to see Hydra pushing himself to be useful to Rusty on long journeys, or to prove himself as a fuel source to others who were actually starting to take him seriously. If he wasn't found slumped in a sunbeam, or passed out against the siding of a shed after exhausting himself at least once in a month, it was a miracle from the Starlight herself.

"You're his engine, you're meant to be responsible for him!""You both need to learn…" she murmured fiercely, voice trembling now that the adrenaline was leaving her. "Both of you. You scare me so much."
