Being Around the Family Part One
Optimus' POV
I awoke from my slumber, as I opened my optics I noticed Hannah was still sound asleep on her berth and I decided to let her sleep after all she had a rough night after telling us everything. I walked out of my quarters and into the control room and waited for the others to emerge from their quarters so we can continue to monitor for decepticon activity and energon. I am aware Fowler will be coming by later with items for Hannah's quarters so she won't have to remain with me while she is under my protection, I was stunned when I learned about her sad past. As her guardian I swore to protect her with my spark, a small child like her should be happy and well cared for I thought as I continued to wait for the others as they arrive in the control room. "Is Hannah still asleep Optimus? "asked Bumblebee "Yes and let her rest she needs it. Autobots I will allow you to for energon and patrol, but Bumblebee you remain and wait for Fowler to arrive so you can help Hannah arrange her quarters." I order Bumblebee. "Yes sir.", replied Bumblebee as the rest of us went inside the ground bridge. I only hope Hannah won't feel frightened being in the base without me being present but she needs to learn to get used to the rest of my other autobots, I thought Bumblebee was a better option since he and Hannah are nearly the same age in Earth years. "I'll be gentle with her Prime." Bumblebee chirped.
Hannah's POV
I awoke and didn't know where I was until it came back to me about last night's events and noticed Optimus was gone so I changed out of my clothes and into clean ones Fowler gave me. At least there was a ladder near the stone slab Optimus placed my near my cot, I figured he went out for a while since he told me he is a leader and would be tied up a bit. I climbed down the ladder and walked out of his room and heard to alarm again, "God it's irritating." I muttered to myself as I walked down the hallway and into the control room of the base Optimus called home, it works for me. As I walked in the room I spotted Bumblebee, I hesitated before he chirped "Prime went out on patrol for cons and possibly energon. He told me Fowler was coming over to get some items for you quarters but at least we can get know each other." I thought about it and came a little closer to him because I figured my guardian put him up to this so I thought I could make an effort to adjust to my new life and family since Optimus was kind to me. I thought about Cliffjumper, Bulkhead, Arcee, Ratchet and Bumblebee, I figured Optimus would have one of his own stay behind while I got used to them one at a time, a good idea cause I thought I would get overwhelmed with all six in the room. I was lost in thought until Bumblebee and Fowler snapped me out of my thoughts, "Hey Hannah we got items for your new room and I did find one in the ex-military base which should suit you, now let's get your room set out okay kid." Fowler said. "Alright then." I replied back as the three of us carried the items such as the mattress, linens, bath items, clothing, TV, PS3, some games, etc.
Three Hours Later
Optimus' POV
Bumblebee called me and informed me Hannah's personal quarters have been arranged and she even moved the hospital cot back where it was for Ratchet. We found nothing but small amounts of energon in different parts of the world but I hope Hannah is getting along with Bumblebee rather nicely and I do pray she has been able to put her past behind her. Fowler informed me her creators and bother are going through a hearing, if those three are convicted the creators will be charged with abuse, neglect, child endangerment and attempted murder, her brother is being charged with accessory to the abuse and attempted murder for his part in her terrible past life. I had asked my autobots to not speak of the matter until Fowler told me if they are going to be locked up for a long time and they will never be allowed to see my little charge again. I decided to call the others and tell them we are heading back to base and I just hope Hannah is getting better acclimated to her new home and family unit but Fowler told me this is going to take time and not to rush it.
Hannah's POV
Bumblebee told me Optimus and the others would be arriving soon and I watched as he operated the controls to what he called a "ground bridge" and I learned how the mechanisms worked and soon an emerald green light appeared . I watched as the Autobots walked into the base from the green light and observed Bee as he turned it off, I was always interested in science but then again I am doing well in school with straight A's since I do the homework with bitching about it, I mean it's just some problems, readings and essay's I am not reviewing a town nor typing a five-hundred page essay; martyrs. "You know Ratchet knows you're interested in understanding how cybertronian technology works. Bulkhead saw you watching Ratchet." Bumblebee warbled as Ratchet walked in. "I am aware of you interests in our technology Hannah. How about when we're alone I can show you the basics?" Ratchet said as he walked up to me. "Sure." I reply. Odd I thought Ratchet would give me a rough time, from what Bumblebee said he can have a gruff attitude sometimes but I guess I just don't know him too well and the other way around with the others. "Hannah, did you get your room set up?" Optimus asked "Yes." I reply and Bee told him how he got into my shell by understanding why I liked being in school and the fact that I took in interest in learning how the ground bridge worked since I was wondering how it worked and how to deal with issues that tend to appear. I guess Prime's efforts to understand me a better detail worked and to help me get used to being around the other Autobots as my new family. I wonder who's going to be next.
