Is this home?
For the longest time, it seemed like, and it was. Home, that is. Elita spent her days holed up in the spider-infested cave, hiding from the harsh daylight outside- the light that she knew would show her the truth, that she was indeed, a hideously mutated spider-freak.
She could never return to
Cybertron. Not now.
What would her friends say? Her
instructors?
Elita often spent this time imagining how the whole scenario would go. All the older bots would show sympathy; the bots in the Science Wing of the Academy would go nuts at the chance to dissect a half-mechanoid, half-organic; her peers would express regrets to her face, but would point and laugh at her back; Sentinel would quite bluntly tell her she was indeed, a freak; and Optimus, dear Optimus, he would be the only one who would truly be kind to her in her disgusting situation. He would express true regret, personal guilt, and the warmest sympathy.
Good ol' Optimus. Elita could count on him for anything. Despite her hopeless situation, Elita was quite sure that her good friend, the very reliable Optimus Prime, would come back to get her. He'd make her feel better, even if her future was as haphazard as she had imagined it to be.
Optimus would come back for her; he'd never leave a friend behind! This she knew. And thus, Elita would stay in this cave, waiting for him.
Here I am, waiting without you.
