It had now been 4 months since Skywarp and Thundercracker had appeared at the entrance of the Joe Base with Starscream in Skywarp's arms. Skywarp had delivered a healthy Seekerlet son 2 months prior and now Flowerdancer walked the path to the Infirmary Wing of the Joe Base to check on Starscream's condition; Skywarp and Thundercracker had barely left the tri-colored Seeker's side during the 4 months since they had arrived only leaving to refuel and fly.
Flowerdancer steps into the infirmary wing smiling softly as she found Skywarp and Thundercracker snuggled against each other fast in recharge as she walked over to check on Starscream's condition; she had spent a lot of her time as well in the Infirmary Wing checking on the tri-colored Seeker who was her friend; she too was concerned for him. Crimson red optics move to the monitor that sat at the head of Starscream's medical berth and her spark gave a leap as his vitals were increasing.
She hurried over to Skywarp and Thundercracker, she hated waking them up, but this was important and she nudges Skywarp and she says excitedly, "Skywarp wake up!" The dark colored Seeker jolted awake at Flowerdancer's excited voice which in turn woke up his Bondmate Thundercracker who gave a groan. Skywarp asks, "What's wrong Flowerdancer? What's got you so excited?"
Flowerdancer's optics danced as she spoke her next words saying, "I think he's gonna wake up today finally! His vitals are on the increase!" The two Seekers almost leap off the medical berth at her words and once on their Pedes they scramble to the berth that held their son and Skywarp looks at the monitors and sure enough though he didn't understand what the different things meant on the monitor he could see that the readings had indeed increased.
Skywarp traces his black fingers along the black faceplates of his older son and says, "Come on Starscream please come back to us." Flowerdancer watched the monitors as she knew from watching humans who were like this when someone that was close to them speak to them their vitals would increase and what startled her was that a weak voice asks, "Skywarp?" Flowerdancer's crimson red optics dart to the black face of Starscream and she smiles as she saw the golden optics of Starscream were indeed open.
Skywarp smiles at his son and says, "Yes I'm here and so is Thundercracker." Starscream gave a weak smile at his Trinemate, but he asks, "Where are we?" Flowerdancer decided to speak at this point and she says, "You are at the GI Joe Base Starscream, 4 months ago your Trinemates brought you here." Starscream's golden optics turn from Skywarp to the female bi-colored Seeker who spoke to him and he gave a weak smile as he saw Flowerdancer was there too and he says, "I'm glad to see you Flowerdancer. I don't know what they decided 4 months ago, but I am threw with what Megatron has done to us; I want code black."
Flowerdancer smiles softly at the smaller Seeker and she says, "They have been code black for the past 4 months; Skywarp was the one who told me their decision. They hardly left your side the past 4 months; only leaving to refuel or go for a flight around." Starscream was actually not surprised when he heard his Trinemates had already decided to go code black, but he asks, "What about Skywarp's son?" Flowerdancer smiles gently and says, "Blackwing is fine and healthy he's in their room right now in recharge. He was born 2 months ago."
Starscream was relieved that his Trinemates son was fine and healthy. Flowerdancer glances at Skywarp and she says, "I know he just woke up Skywarp, but it's time to tell him." Skywarp nods it was true they promised to tell Starscream when he woke up if he did; Starscream sat up weakly wondering what Flowerdancer was talking about. Flowerdancer sat down on the berth close to Starscream and the tri-colored Seeker shifted so he was leaning against the larger bi-colored Seeker for support.
Skywarp sighs and says, "Starscream, I know that we've told you all this time that we never knew your sire or carrier, but we lied to you." Starscream was startled at Skywarp's words and a bit hurt that his Trinemates had lied to him all this time and he asks in a hurt voice, "Why? Why did you lie to me all this time?" Thundercracker spoke this time and he says, "We didn't have a choice Starscream the Council Of Seekers forced it upon us and so did the Council Of Primes; I know they've been gone for earth centuries now, but for some reason we've felt we had to keep that as they told us to do; 4 months ago Flowerdancer told us it was time we told you the truth."
Starscream was startled at Thundercracker's words, but it did make sense as the rules set by the 2 councils were strong and the punishment for breaking their rules was harsh. He asks, "How long have you known what they are talking about Flowerdancer?" Flowerdancer sags her bi-colored shoulders and she says, "I've known since the day you came and apologized to me at the beginning of time for breaking my leg; they had stayed behind when you returned to the Nemesis to tell me as they felt they could trust me with the secret and I have all this time."
Starscream was startled how long Flowerdancer had kept this a secret too, he looks back at Skywarp and asks, "Who were they? I figure they were killed during the fall of Vos." Skywarp shakes his helm no and says, "No they didn't die when Vos fell as they weren't there that day; they were here on Earth when it fell," he pauses letting those words sink in before he finally answered his son's question and he says, "I am your carrier Starscream and Thundercracker is your sire."
Starscream was completely shocked at Skywarp's admission; his Trinemates were his sire and carrier? They had been under his nose all this time and he never realized it; but there was some disbelief in his golden optics at the words spoken to him and he looks at Flowerdancer. Flowerdancer says, "I know for as long as you can remember you could never feel your sire and carrier; try to now. The barriers have been dropped that stopped you from feeling them. You will know the truth then."
Starscream nods at her words and he did as she told him to do and 5 minutes later his golden optics went wide it was true what Skywarp had said the bond was there the bond between creation and creators. He tilted his helm and says, "Then Blackwing is my brother? Do I have any other siblings?" Skywarp nods and says, "Yes Blackwing is your baby brother; you have an older brother, but the war had just started when he was born so I took him to another dimension to protect him; his name is Light Wind. It's just Light Wind, you, and Blackwing." Starscream was startled he did have another sibling he says, "That makes sense why you sent him away. I hope one day I get to meet him."
