Yesterday he had awoke in the cot of the med bay. Sam sat up and looked around the dark and almost empty room. It reminded him of the room he stayed in his dream. He shuddered at the thought of him being asleep for years. Yesterday when he awoke, Optimus had stayed with him until he had recovered well enough for Ratchet's likings. He sighed when he remembered what Ratchet had told him about how he needs to get up and exercise. He chuckled to himself when he realized how much Ratchet reminded him of his mom. Sam looked over to see the medic still at work on something Sam had no idea about. His attention was drawn to the door as it opened and he saw Optimus standing there.
"Hello Sam" Optimus greeted gently.
"Hi Optimus" Sam said with a half-smile.
"How are you feeling?" Optimus asked and walked over to kneel next to Sam.
"My back is a little sore, but other than that I am fine." Sam muttered.
"Hmm I will see if Ratchet can do something about that" Optimus said looking over at the bot in question.
"working on it..." Ratchet muttered and grumbled. Optimus turned back to Sam, his large blue eyes casting a faint blue glow on him.
"Optimus, may I talk to you about my...dream?" Sam asked and Optimus leaned in a little further.
"Of course Sam" Optimus said in a low tone, Sam looked at him and sighed.
"Optimus...why...uh why were you my dad?" Sam asked feeling a little uncomfortable. Apparently he wasn't the only one, because he noticed Optimus shift a little.
"I suppose because...I have always seen you as my son...as I see Bumblebee as well" Optimus said and rubbed the back of his helm.
"Oh...i-if it makes you feel better, I have seen you as a father figure" Sam said and smiled a little.
"Thank you Sam" Optimus said gently, Sam turned to the bot and smiled.
"No problem" Sam said and yawned. "I've been asleep for years and I am still tired." Sam said jokingly. Optimus chuckled and looked over at Ratchet.
"Sam...the world...has changed since you were asleep" Optimus said sullenly. Sam looked over at him and felt a pang of fear.
"What do you mean Optimus?" Sam asked and Optimus stood and shook his head.
"Tomorrow Sam, you need your rest." Optimus said and walked toward the door. Sam felt anger boil up inside of him.
"I HAVE BEEN RESTING FOR THREE YEARS!" Sam suddenly shouted gaining Optimus's full attention and a slight annoyed glare from Ratchet. There was a small silence that followed and Optimus sighed.
"Samuel...I understand your eagerness but do NOT take that tone with me." Optimus said reeling his anger, much like a father would.
"I'm sorry Sir" Sam said and looked down and Optimus sighed and walked back over and kneel next to him. They sat quietly for a minute and Optimus looked at him.
"Sam...I do not wish to tell you now because I fear you may not understand what I am going to tell you." Optimus said looking toward a wall.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked.
"I mean that you may be our only human ally now" Optimus said and Sam looked at him with panic.
"Optimus what happened, while I was gone?" Sam asked.
"THEY DID WHAT?!" Sam asked with anger that would make his mother proud.
"Sam, Sam please calm down" Optimus said ask Bee and Ratchet rushed in. Bee activated his holoform and sat next to him and held him.
"BEE LET ME GO! LET ME SHOOT THEM, LET ME DO SOMETHING USEFUL!" Sam said before he broke down in tears. Bee held him to him and tried to sooth him.
"You had to tell him..." Ratchet grumbled to Optimus who shot him a very annoyed look.
"I'll kill them for what they did" Sam cried.
"Sam please, calm down" Bee said using his real voice. Sam sniffled and stop and held on to Bee.
After a few hours Sam eventually calmed down enough to where he was able to talk and not scream.
"Why?" Sam asked and the other three looked at each other and looked back at him.
"What do you mean Sam?" Optimus asked and Sam swallowed a scream.
"Why are they hunting you?" Sam asked.
