Oa was full of many wondrous and different beings, ranging from sentient planets to microbes. Yet never in all of the world's time had a autobot stepped onto it's surface. Jack and Arcee were being given a tour of the city by both June and Lo, a sentient robotic species from the other side of the milky-way which resembled a green human. As they went through the city they all got a sense that not all the lanterns liked Jack being there with the exceptions of the Yellow corps and the purple corps.

"Jack?" Arcee asked him uncertainly.

"I know, not many here Like me, I've made a lot of mistakes under Sinestro's guidance." Jack admitted glumly as they flew past a massive ring of spires, one in each ring color and a single one which was destroyed all together.

"Jack, I'm sure they'd forgive you." Arcee stated optimistically. Jack shook his head sadly.

"Jackson of Earth, if Kilawag can forgive you, I am most certain that the others will too." Lo stated optimistically with a faint smile. "Given time of course."

"Lo, you know that's not true." Jack sighed faintly.

"Jack, it was sinestro who did it to you, it was never your fault, so stop complaining or you're grounded." June warned sternly.

"Mum,I live at Base now, remember?" Jack asked as the four of them landed at what resembled a cybertronian spire. Jack shuddered slightly, it looked like a green version of one of the ruined buildings he had seen on cybertron the time he and Arcee had gone to get Optimus' memories back. Arcee noticed and smiled at him putting him somewhat at ease.

"However Jack, I'll dress you in woman's clothing unless you stop this doom and gloom thing, I feel it over our bond." Arcee warned him. Jack's ring aura suddenly went from green to yellow making Lo roll her optics and June stiffen a giggle.

"Okay, Okay, I give!" Jack shuddered as Arcee snorted a laugh. "Just...please, no more force crossdressing me, I'm not like Miko."

"Miko crossdresses?" Arcee asked as she raised an optic ridge.

"Yeah, I found her wearing a pair of my old clothes." Jack shuddered.

"This 'crossdressing', is it common?" Lo asked. "I have heard Hal complain about Starsaphire doing such an act with his old flight uniforms on two occasions during the period when they were dating."

"Well...that's a nasty thought." June said blankly then cleared her throat. "Right, Jack and Arcee, you've got room four hundred and nine, on purple floor with the purple lanterns, sorry 'cee but it's only due to your little bond." She said the last part kindly but both Arcee and Jack knew she was very against the whole thing.

"I do not understand this 'bond' I see no physical connection between the two of them." Lo told them, completely unawear of the situation. This only lead to June's anger to get worse, thankfully she was only wearing a green lantern ring, or things would of gotten a lot worse.

"Not. The. Time. Lo." June growled before flying off into the distance. Lo looked at Arcee and Jack who looked uncertian and slightly more interested in the sights than the conversation.

"Did I say something to offend her?" Lo asked Jack.

"Er...my mum's still annoyed at the fact Arcee and me became sparkmates." Jack explained.

"Oh, I see, she does not approve of your choice of mates." Lo stated simply. If this had of been anyone else, Jack knew he would of lost it right then and there, however, this was Lo, her entire species was logical and didn't understand other cultures too well, it was a part of the reason she took up studying Earth and Dracon cultures.

"Yes Lo, but in the future, please do not say it like that, it just sounds...weird." Jack told her. Lo nodded and wrote a note on her wrist pad's reminder system for somthing, Jack guessed it was probebly not to call them mates.

"Well, technically, she is correct but rather bluntly." Arcee huffed. "As for the correct term...Lo, it's sparkmates but I believe humans would call it Married or soulmates." Lo nodded again and made another Note, Jack really couldn't blame her, during the time when he was held in the cells of Oa, Lo had been his guard and they discussed their backgrounds. Lo had been a liberarian of sorts on her homeworld, following her passion of learning, Miko would of called her a class one geek, But he just listened to her and when she finally asked about him, he told her about how Sinestro had tried to kill his mother and the deal he had made, just the thought of it made him sick, he would lead an army to decimate entire worlds under guidance of a mad...errr...alien, just to save his mum, to make matters worse, it was his own mum he was brought in by. Many of those who knew him said it was the ring that did it, it was the ring that corrupted him, but he knew that was not the case, he just wanted his mum to be safe and he made a terrible, terrible choice.

"Jack...it's not your fault." Arceec told him, Jack mentally cursed himself,he forgot that both Arcee and him share thoughts, often by accident. "Jack, stop cursing to yourself, it's rather immature."

"Easy for you to say, I fucked up bad 'cee, I killed so...so many." Jack gulped as he bit back a sob.

"Jack, calm the frag down mister." Arcee asked as energon sept from her optics. "If y-you cry, it'll m-make me c-cry."

"S-sorry." Jack gulped as he forced himself to breath normally. "I-I didn't mean to."

"Is this part of your bond?" Lo asked in confusion. "Is it emotional or metaphysical?"

"Uh...'cee?" Jack gulped, he hated to admit it but he knew he was terrible explaining this kind of stuff, especially when it came to women, of any species.

"It's a spark-link Lo." Arcee explained. "A spark, is our lifeforce, to bond it with another's, it's a unbreakable bond,breaking it can be near fatal... or very, very painful."

"I am confused by this...spark, what is it?" Lo asked inquisitively. "May I be able to see one?"

At that statement, Arcee's ring flickered between red, green and orange. Jack couldn't blame her, both her and Ratchet had explained about sparks to him and Miko when they noticed how he and Arcee kept looking at each other and Miko at Bulkhead. Albeit, Miko and bulkhead decided they were more like brother and sister, much to Ratchet's relief.

"Er...Lo, that would be like the time you asked er...Hal to strip." Jack explained tensly, he knew this situation would turn deadly at any second, Arcee was already thinking up hundreds of ways to maim or kill Lo. 'Arcee, lanterns do NOT kill!'

'Jack, neither do autobots, but I'll make an acceptation.' Arcee mentally growled back at him. 'If this glitch thinks she can get away with that...!'

"Arcee, leave Lo be." Jack told her sternly. "Let's just find our room and forget about this, okay?" At that comment, Arcee's attention snapped back to Jack, she didn't look even remotely angry, she looked terrified. Jack couldn't blame her, he'd seen her loose control before before, she was like a insecticon on high-grade. For that thought, he received a mental slap from Arcee.

"Fine,but call me an insecticon again jack, and you're sleeping on the couch." Arcee warned.

"I know that's impossible 'cee, you never let me sleep anywhere other than above your spark." Jack sighed, as much as it was comfortable, he always worried Arcee would suddenly roll over in the night and he'd get hurt.

"Fine, you're right but when we get back to earth, you owe me a wash." Arcee added with a wink as her ring began to emit a purple glow.

"I shall be leaving now.." Lo said sweetly before flying off.

"Uh...which room do we go to?" Arcee asked as she looked up at the massive spire.

"Let me check..." Jack gulped as he held out his fist with the ring on it. "Er...room please?" A holographic displey screen flashed into existance above the ring and showed a number of files and a number. 396002, his lantern identification number and below that, his room number, 417. "Come on, this way."
