I don't own Transformers or the song Something's Missing This story is inspired a line in Hummergrey's story No Where Else To Go and used with permission. An evil plot bunny wouldn't let me go until I had written this, so here it is in all it glory. Please note if I made Prowl OOC I'm so sorry I figure he wasn't always so logically inclined and he can be himself around Aurora Reviews are welcomed

Something's Missing

By:Cliffjumpersfangirl

I would rather be hated and feared for holding them in the brig than holding a grieving sparkmate: Prowl.

Prowl was exhausted. He glanced down at the pastel yellow sparkling and sighed. He had been trying to get the young femme to recharge and she was wide awake. She reminds me of Star when she was a sparkling He thought as he looked through a big black duffel bag.

"Aurora look who I've got." He said as he pulled a teddy bear out of the bag and placed it on the floor.

"Nox" She squealed as she started to crawl towards the camouflage teddy bear.

Prowl chuckled as he looked again trying to find something in the bag that would aid him in his quest.

"Where is it? Bee said it would be in here." he muttered to himself as he took items out of the bag. "Lets see energon bottles? No Toy Camaro? No Story books? No Ah there it is" He said as he found what he was looking for. He gently picked up the CD jewel case and smiled. He gently opened the CD case and took the yellow CD out. When everything f else fails play me was written on the CD in Sam's handwriting. Prowl just chuckled as he scanned the CD and put it back in its case. Sam was right when he called this a survival kit. He thought as he felt tiny hands patting his foot. He looked down to see Aurora looking up at him.

"Po up" She said as she reach her hands up.

" Aurora up" he said as he knelt down and picked up the little femme and her teddy bear.

As he carried her to his recharge berth Prowl started to play the music he uploaded as the mellow music started to play he couldn't help thinking about the past and the regrets he had. He sat down and watched the sparkling drift off into recharge and he was transported to another place and time.

I'm not alone

I wish I was

Cause then I'd know I was down because

I couldn't find a friend around

To love me like they do right now

They do right now

Iacon, Cybertron: Before the war

Prowl paced in the med bay waiting room. Little sister what did you do? He thought ashe continued to pace.

"Lt. Prowl" a unfamiliar voice jolted him from his thoughts.

" Yes Is my sister alright?" The sentence came out at lot faster then he intended.

" We manged to stop the energon loss and repaired most of the damage to her arms and wrists. The next couple of joors are going to be critical." The nurse said as she placed a hand on his shoulder. " I have a couple of questions to ask you. There SOP in situations like this."

"Sure I can answer any question you might have." He sat down in one of the near by chairs and tried his hardest to keep his emotions in check.

"Did she have any rivals or competitors that might have done this to her?"

"No she was well liked and she was one of the top law enforcement officers on the planet. Her partner was devastated when she took a leave of absent because of the incident."

"Incident?"

"Her sparkmate Fastback was killed four orns ago. He was trying to apprehend an illegal street fighting ring when he was offlined in the line of duty." His voice cracked " Primus what am I going to tell Star Sapphire. She already lost one parental unit." He said as the tears started to flow.

"Sir I have to ask but could this have been a self inflicted offlineing?"

"I don't know. She was having problems accepting to the fact that her sparkmate was gone but I though that she was getting better. She was going to a therapist and ..." He trailed off. " Can I see her?"

"Of course you can. Follow me"

They walked down the hallway to the intensive care unit. Prowl wasn't prepared for what was in front of him. His emotions overwhelmed him as he slowly walked to the side of the medical berth. His sister his little Fire was in trouble and he couldn't help.

He carefully picked up her hand as he softly said "Firestar I'm sorry I wasn't there for you"

He jumped as the pale blue hand weekly squeezed his. Her Prussian blue optics opened as she weekly said "I'm sorry Prowler, I wasn't strong enough. I thought I was but this hurts too much."

"Fire say with me!!" he yelled as the monitors sounded the alarm. The Pit broke loose as the medics and nurses tried to bring her back.

"We're loosing her"

" Charging paddles CLEAR"

"No response Increase the voltage"

" Charging paddles CLEAR"

"No response Call it "

"Time of death 1300 hours"

Prowl felt like someone had riped his spark out and stepped on it. He made a promise to her, no one else would have to go through what she went through He would do his best to make sure that no sparkmate went through that.
