A Seeker's Family 4

Thundercracker laid his trine mate down on the recharge berth before he sat by his side. The blue Seeker reached out to touch his helm causing Skywarp to lean in to the touch.

"You should rest, we can talk after," said Thundercracker as he smiled at his trine mate. Skywarp nodded and his optics slowly went offline for the impending recharge his systems needed.

Until Thundercracker was sure his trine mate was recharging he went to sit at the couch not too far from the berth. He thought for a few moments.

'I wonder why he named her Zenith...? It was as if he read my mind...,' and he looked back at the recharging mech and felt a little drowsy himself. After shuttering his optics a few times, he gave in to recharge as well.

While the Seekers were recharging, Ratchet began his system diagnostics for Zenith. While writing down a few things on his datapad, he noticed the once sleeping sparkling wake up and stared at the red and white medic.

"Well, look who decided to wake up," said the medic as he approached the sparkling's berth. "Let's see how your systems are doing," and he started running some diagnostics.

The small violet and blue Seeker stared at Ratchet as he walked back and forth around her. Everything seemed so interesting for the little Seeker, and she felt quite overwhelmed by the novelty. She sat up from her sleeping position and followed the Autobot medic as he carried on with his tasks with her optics. The medic appeared in her field of vision and petted her helm.

"Feeling hungry yet, little one?" asked Ratchet as he handed her an energon bottle.

Zenith instinctively took the bottle and stared at it, and looked back up at the red and white mech. The small Seeker felt an empty feeling in her systems and began drinking her energon drink. Ratchet wrote a few things down on his datapad before he watched the Seeker drink her energon, until something caught his attention on his diagnostic computers around the sparkling Seeker.

"Optimus, you must come see this and bring the Seekers with you," said Ratchet through his comm link in a very serious tone.

"What's the matter, Ratchet? Is there something wrong with the sparkling?" replied Optimus from their comm link.

"Just come here quick...You have to see this for yourself. And make sure you get the Seekers as well," reminded Ratchet before he close he link he had with his Prime. Ratchet walked closer to the smiling sparkling as she held the empty energon bottle with a satisfied expression on her faceplate. Ratchet grinned at how cute the display was, before Wheeljack entered the med bay.

"Brought you some energon," said the engineer knowing very well the medic forgot about consuming some energon.

"Thank you Jack," said the medic as he took his energon cube from the engineer and gave his sparkmate a kiss.

"You're welcome," replied Wheeljack with a smile. "How is she doing?"

"You have to come take a look at this," answered the medic as he drank his energon quickly and led the engineer to the diagnostic computers around Zenith.

Zenith stared at the mech with curiosity while Wheeljack walked by her berth with Ratchet. Wheeljack smiled at the small Seeker in response as he looked at what Ratchet wanted to show him.

"She's so cute...I'd like to have one myself...," said Wheeljack as he felt warm and happy for a moment and gave up on the thought.

"We can have one of our own," replied Ratchet. "I don't mind having a sparkling of own..."

"One day, we will be able to, perhaps when the war is over," said Wheeljack voicing one of his concerns. "So, what is it you wanted me to see?"

"Here are some of Zenith's diagnostic results," answered the medic in a more serious tone, bringing Wheeljack's attention to the computers. "She's one healthy femme, but look at the results for speed and efficiency of her processors and systems."

"Wow...No kidding...," said Wheeljack as he analyzed the results for himself. "She can make a huge difference to this war depending on which sides she joins...," as he stared at Zenith.

Before Ratchet was able to reply, Optimus and the others entered the med bay. Skywarp was wide awake and he had a very worried expression on his faceplate.

"Is something the matter with Zenith?" asked Prowl as he looked at Ratchet.

"You must have discovered some more glitches, didn't you," said Skywarp as he was prepared for whatever the Autobot medic had to offer.

"As a matter of fact, I didn't."

"Oh...then what's wrong?" asked Optimus with a relieved tone.

So what did Ratchet find?
