Chapter 2

"Magnus!" the twins yelled in unison.

Ultra Magnus scooped them up and put them on his shoulders. "Have you two been good for your brother?" he asked.

"No" they grinned evilly.

"Good" he said with a smirk.

Prime shook his head at the three's antics. His brother was turning out to be a bad influence on the boys. Optimus felt a small pang of sympathy for his old friend until he remembered the last time the twins had been in trouble. Koji had merely raised an eyebrow to get them to confess. Optimus vaguely wondered if it was a demonic technique and if Koji could teach it to him.

Koji's change from the child Optimus had almost come to consider a son to the strong protective father still amazed Optimus. He still remembered Koji when they first met. The boy had looked so alone that night standing outside in the dark. Koji had put blind faith in Optimus on the off chance Optimus could actually help his father.

"Rad doesn't notice when we aren't good for him though," Sono said in an exaggerated stage whisper.

" Why?" Magnus stage whispered back.

"Because he's usually to busy kissing Alexis!" Axel lost all pretense of stage whispering.

Rad ignored his brothers and Magnus in favor of wiping imaginary dribble from his sister's mouth. The only sign that he'd heard was that his face turned an interesting shade of red.

Magnus' following coughing fit sounded an awful lot like 'father like son'. Even Optimus had to chuckle as Rad's face went another, darker shade of red.

Rad glared at him. "See ya Grampa, I'm going to go find Hot Shot" Rad said. He and the twins had taken to calling Optimus, Grampa after they found out that Optimus had, for all intents and purposes, created their mother. He'd written her programming any way.


"It's hard to believe humans start off so small," Sideswipe said looking at Lita.

"They're always small" Blurr said. He tried to seem nonchalant about the baby. He was actually intrigued and slightly nervous about the creature. It was tiny and… wiggly.

"If we were born big it would be very unpleasant for our mom's" Rad laughed.

"Being kept inside the mother's stomach for so long seems … inconvenient," Blurr said, frowning behind his battle mask.

"How do you guys reproduce? Cause if it's easier you might want to let the masses in on it" Rad laughed.

Blurr, Sideswipe, and Hot Shot shifted nervously. Apparently the subject of reproduction was universally taboo. That was all right with Rad. He didn't want to know how the transformers reproduced.

"I still don't get how humans get pregnant" Blurr shook his head at the memory of what he'd read about it on the thing the humans called the Internet. It made no sense. How the hell did the sperm and egg meet? They were in different bodies.

Rad sweat dropped. He had a pretty good idea what Blurr was thinking. He really didn't feel like explaining the birds and the bees to the Autobots right now. Maybe he should have Sideburn explain it to them.

"What's that smell?" Hot Shot asked.

Rad sighed. 'The joys of babysitting' he thought ruefully.


"I've got it!" Megatron exclaimed. He finally had a full proof plan.

"What's the plan sir?" Starscream asked.

"We kidnap the boy and torture him until he fixes the requiem blaster" Megatron laughed.

Wheeljack and Starscream sweat dropped. "That's what we did last time sir" Wheeljack said.

Megatron stopped laughing and took on a look of slight embarrassment. "What I meant was that we are going to kidnap him and someone he deeply cares about and threaten to kill them both if he doesn't comply" Megatron amended quickly.

'Gee that's so much more original' Starscream thought sarcastically.

'I ditched Hot Shot to follow this guy? What was I smoking?' Wheeljack thought.


"Koji?"

"Huh?" Koji looked up at his wife.

"Are you ok?" T-Ai asked. He'd been lost in thought for the past five minutes just staring straight ahead.

"Yeah, just… got a weird feeling," Koji sighed. He usually didn't get these types of feelings. He was more in tune with his inner demon than his angel half. He had to be, his family was a big target. The Soul Stealers had been a powerful clan before the four brothers broke with each other after their patriarch's death. After they split they were no longer as powerful but that didn't mean someone looking to make a name for themselves wouldn't come after them. Especially since his branch was mixed with angel blood.

"What kind of feeling?" T-Ai asked. The last time he got a weird feeling Rad had been sucked into a time warp.

"I don't know. Mom never really had time to train me in this stuff. Mostly it was training in self-defense and battle strategies. Never anything about future sight" Koji said.

"Maybe we should contact her and see if she knows what it might mean", T-Ai suggested. Koji shook his head.

"She and Dad are on their third honeymoon. Their first two got ruined because of this kind of stuff" Koji said thinking back to the second one. Some low level demon had attacked him while his parents were away reaffirming their marriage. He had had to protect himself and keep the Autobots from finding out, which hadn't been easy. He'd actually had to wipe a few days from Sideburn's memory to keep his secret from getting out. In the end his mother had sensed he was in danger and decided to put in an appearance and destroyed the demon easily. Even though the threat had been eliminated Eris and Hisao hadn't felt that leaving Koji alone was a good idea, effectively ruining their second honeymoon. Their first one had been ruined by morning sickness.

"If it keeps up I'll call them" Koji decided.

AN: Koji has future sight(he can sense future events) but he rarely understands it since it's only a feeling not a vision. he also has sensing( he can tell when one of his kids is in immediate danger). just didn't want you mixing those two up.
