Earth, Lake Erie
Twins were flying above the lake, in perfect sync in their moves. Well, it was something you would expet for twins, but every time their flying was something Sari loved watching. Bumblebee was sitting next to him, and even though he was more of an racer than flyer, was this something worth watching for. Sari was thinking of going to get her jetpack, she could use a bit of the practise too, especially now that the Decepticons were back. But before she was able to get on her feet, she heard a footsteps. Turning her head, she saw Jazz, walking closer to watch too.
"You know, for being a flyers they ain't half as bad.", white ninja-bot said, watching twins.
"And same goes fot the Silver too. He might be bit shy and confused, but he's a good bot at spark.", he continued, getting confused look from Sari.
"Silver?", she asked, before realising that probably was the name for the young silverish bot who was dragged here not too long ago. "You know him?", she asked again, getting curious.
"Not so well. I was there when he took his first steps, and I've just heard people talking, and saw him couple of times with Sentinel yelling at him. Gotta say, kid's got it hard. You see, he wasn't meant to exist at all, or atleast that's what Sentinel says. Not that I blame the kid, he looked like nice bot.", Jazz started, looking still the twins who were still dancing in the air...
"But Silver ain't his real name. S.P ordered that anyone who knew about him, was about to call him that. Cool name though eh?", ninja finished, but realised then that Bumblebee and Sari looked him with sorrow in their eyes. But it wasn't directed to him that look. It was for the Jetlight.
"What do you mean, wasn't supposed to exist?", Bumblebee asked, little pain in his voice. Jazz raised his look to the skyes again. "Sorry 'Bee, that's classified info, I just can't hand it to you. You guys actually know little too much already.", he stated, giving apolygin smirk to the two younglins.
"No they don't.", weak voice said right behind them. Three autobots - Sari was one of the Autobot-family after all - jolted, and looked behind. Silveris bot was in his feet, walking and looking pretty much alive, wich made Jazz tilt his head a little.
"I though you can't walk around like that?", he asked, looking bit worryed. "Come on boy, you can't just ignore the orders if they're made up to keep you online.", ninjabot continued, taking couple steps closer. Jetlight shook his head a little.
"It's alright Jazz.", he smiled a little. "Just... please don't tell Prime... I wanted to see how well they fly.", he continued, before taking few steps closer, watching with an calm awe how Jetstrom and Jetfire flew in the sky.
"Wish I could join them...", he muttered, and lowered his head a alittle. He was having hard time trying to figure out, was he happy or sad, and his spark arched little...
"Feel that brother?", Jetfire asked from his twin, who transformerd in the mid air, and nodded.
"Like... burning.", Jetstorm answered, looking bit worryed. Jetfire transformerd also, feeling the same burn inside him. But it stopped soon, leaving only small feeling of disturb behind. Twins looked each others for a second, and then where Sari and Bumblebee were standing. Well, they were still, but now they had companion. Jazz, and the mystery bot who was standing there, watching them. Twins looked each others again, and then nodded at the same time. It was about time to get silver mech to talk.
Jetlight watched the twins who came closer. Jazz bit his lipcomponents, and then looked Jetlight more than bit worryed.
"Silver, I know what you're up to. Think what you're doing, you don't wanna get disappointed.", white autobot warned. Jetlight gave sad smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to tell them yet. I don't know how.", he said, then turning around when the jet-twins landed on the ground. Thank Primus they didn't heard what he and Jazz had said. Sari looked still pretty confused, so did Bumblebee.
"Tell them what Silver?", Bumblebee asked, making Jazz slap his servo against his mouth, to silent him. Sari looked at Jazz, who shaked his head slightly. Young techno-organic realised finally, that it was really huge secret, considering all these tree flyers...
Sad attempt to silence the young yellow autobot had just made twins more curious, especially when silverish bot sighed little, but still giving a smile.
"Hi.", it was all he was able to say. Jetlight just hoped that they wouldn't start asking too accurate questions. Twins grinned as answer, and Jetlight started to think that his brothers really liked to smile and grin, and it was apparently contagious, since he was able to feel his faceplates to grow really similar grin also.
"Hey! We were wondering, are you who?", Jetfire asked, making Jetlight bit his lip again, thinking what he should say. Finally when he had something thinked up to say, a loud, too familiar voice yelled. Jetlight winced, turning his head and seeing Sentinel Prime, marching towards him. "O-ou.", he whispered, before taking couple steps back, hoping that Sentinel wouldn't be all that mad.
"You shouldn't be running around!", he started, making Jetlight lower his head and hope that this would be over quick.
"Take it easy S.P, kid just wanted to see the how the twins fly.", Jazz interupted, and the jettwins came closer too, almost like trying to get between angry commander and frightened flyer. Bumblebee and Sari got up also, but they couldn't say pretty much anything. They were the outsiders, knowing nothing about this situation. Or atleast that what they were supposed to think! Sari stood up for the new flyer. "And stop being such an meanie to him! Silver haven't done anything wrong!", Sari stated, giving mad look. Sentinel looked all the autobots who were gangin against him, and growled, then looked again at the white ninjabot.
"Jazz, he needs to be watched all the times, you know that. What if his systems fail? Or if he gets attacked? He is way TOO WEAK.", Sentinel made sure that everybody heard the last too words. Jetlight flinched, he was feeling... angry. It was new to him, he had never felt anything else than just dull saddnes and occasionaly happiness when he heard storyes, but never he had felt himself angry. And it wasn't if that he wasn't use to this, Sentinel kept saying that he was weak all the time. But now...
"I am not as helpless as you think!", Jetlight suddenly said, unnaturally cold and strong voice. He didn't know what went into him to make him snarl like that, but more suprises were coming: His thrusters came on, making young flyer to go airborne. Not too high though, just enough so that Sentinel was forced to look up on him.
'What's with this... I've never felt so... Alive? No, that's not the word. It's like I've waked up... from the deepest dream...', Jetlight didn't let his thoughs come out, he just glared at Sentinel with hurt in his eyes. Sentinel wasn't able to make his vocaliser work again, when Jetlight turned around and transformed into Cybetronic jet, wich came as a little shock to the Elite Guards bots, and took off, keeping himself close to the surface of the water. Feeling like burning deep inside, Jetlight wanted to cool it off, and what would be better than water? Not that Jetlight had seen it before in his life, but when he had been just lying around in a berth, he had all the time he needed to read and study. Main reason why he didn't have the same accent as his brothers... Brothers. Just thinking of them made Jetlight feel bit better, but also guilty. He just couldn't tell them who he was. Not after an outburst like that! Well it wasn't actually so bad outburst, but it certaintly wasn't nice thing to do, just to take off like that... This had to be sorted out, but first Jetlight needed to calm down.
