Title: Shattered Happiness
By Moonlit Sea
Summary: (sequel to Hidden Secrets) The femme's secret is out and Storm is still missing casting doubt throughout the Ark. Will the Autobots ever see past this 'incident' or will there forever be distrust in the ranks?
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers or any of the characters. However, any unknown characters are of my own creation.
A/N: I was told my by a good friend of mine that Storm, Starlight and Lightning altmodes is a jet, so from now on I will be referring to them as jets and not planes. Sorry for any confusion.
Chapter One
"Ya not going to lose meh that easily, Storm." Jazz said as he raced after the white and ocean blue jet.
"I want to be alone, Jazz, why can't you see that." Storm replied.
"No ya don't. Ya jus' think that if ya stop and talk ta meh, I'll say how disappointed I was in ya for not revealin' ya had a brother sooner. Well I ain't, an' I don' think ya a con either." He told her.
Storm slowed down after hearing this, "you…don't?" she asked surprised.
"No I don', now why don'tcha come down here and talk ta meh." After a few more minutes Storm finally transformed and landed. "Thank ya." Jazz said as he transformed himself.
"Had to stop anyway. There's a cliff up ahead, wouldn't want you to go over it." She explained "then everyone really would believe I was a con." She muttered looking away.
The saboteur couldn't help but chuckle at her remark. "Why is it so hard ta believe that I don' think ya a con?" he asked.
"Because that's what everyone thinks. It's what we've had to put with ever since we joined the Autobots." She began "back then we didn't look like this," gesturing to her frame "we looked a little more like Thundercracker and Skywarp…though a little different, so it was quite easy to see who we were related to."
"Did no-one believe ya?" Jazz asked starting to understand why the three kept to themselves and the hostility Storm and Starlight, though mainly Storm, projected.
"Only two. They were Lightning and a medic called Quazar." She replied, "He was the one who helped us change our appearance."
"Where is he now?"
"He was killed on a mission that went wrong." she told him sadly.
"I'm sorry ta hear that." The Porsche said with sympathy.
"Ever since then we were labelled cons, traitors, spies whatever you want to call it and poor Lighting was labelled as a sympathiser because she hung round with us."
"I can see now why ya ran off." Jazz said "no-one here knew of ya past, 'cept Prime, and ya were treated like any other bot would be. Ya both thought ya found a place where ya belong only ta have it cruelly taken away."
"Yes." Storm said in surprise "that's it exactly."
The saboteur smiled, "but it hasn't been." Seeing the confused look she gave him he continued "there are a lot more mechs back at base that like ya for who ya are, not who ya related ta."
"You're just saying that to make me feel better."
"It workin'?" he asked cheekily making her chuckle "I'm serious though, there are a lot more mechs that think like that and would like ta get ta know ya better, myself included."
Storm looked down at the ground, "Jazz, I…" she trailed off.
Jazz walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, "trust meh."
