[With all his internal resources dedicated to getting away, Scorpius didn't realize exactly what damage had been done at first. When he finally stopped, finally certain he was clear of the men with crowbars and bandannas over their faces, he placed a hand against the side of a building to brace himself as his chest heaved. At first he thought it was his cooling system working overdrive but the strange buzzing, like the mechanical equivalent of a raspy gasp, was wrong.
He closed his eyes, running a quick diagnostics check. While their blows hadn't dented him, it seemed to have knocked something loose.
It really didn't help that he didn't exactly have a standard manual to check, being a unique prototypical model. He could pull up his own schematics, but it was difficult to see what exactly was wrong without being able to see it. And his senses were still somewhat scrambled from the attack. He'd never felt pain like that before.
Luckily he'd moved his phone from his pocket to inside his arm, wiring into it when it became clear the men following him were hostile. He didn't have to pull it out to call Albus. On shaky legs, he started making his way to the man's flat even as he waited for Albus to answer.]
