chapter 4 recovery part 1
Starscream and Slipstream walked in and saw Stardust fast asleep in the bed lying on her front. "Good thing you told us all about, seeker physiology, so we can care for her right the poor dear," Our Ratchet said. Starscream and Slipstream made it to their sleeping daughter's bedside. Slipstream stroked her head. Starscream pulled something out it was Stardust's plush frog Cherry her favorite toy. Stardust began to stir. She opened her optics. "Hey sweetie," Slipstream said. "Where am I?" Stardust asked. "In the med-bay," Starscream answered. "I want my room," Stardust whimpered. "Not till you're all better." Starscream said. "But Cherry is in there!" Stardust said. "Don't worry I got Cherry right here." Starscream said while handing it to her. Stardust grabbed it and yawned. "Thank you daddy." She said . "Do you remember what happened?" Slipstream asked. "No," Stardust answered. "Trauma induced amnesia quite common in cases like this." Ratchet said. "It's for the best she doesn't have to remember." Amby said. Stardust fell looked at his daughter's back. "Sweet Cybertron, her wings!" He said. "I'm so sorry her wings were so badly damaged we couldn't salvage them and none of us are experts on fliers such as seekers so we don't know we can restore her abilities to fly." Sawblade said. "I know Strongwind he has few medics who are fliers no doubt he will find a medic that will do a proper wing replacement surgery." Starscream said and left to call him.
Strongwind picked up the com. "Hello Starscream for what do I own this pleasure," Strongwind said. "Stardust was attack by a mech and her wings were so badly damaged they had to be removed and our medics are not experts on seeker models and I was wondering if you can send a medic to handle it?" Starscream asked. "Of course any child will be helped by seekers you can count on that I will send one of the best medics to help." Strongwind said. "Thank you, see you later." Starscream said hanging up and he had one more thing to do he had a bone to pick with Callus. Starscream made his way towards the brig. Biglaw saw him. "Starscream why are you going in there?" He asked him. Starscream didn't answer. Starscream walked straight in. Callus looked at him, Starscream punched him in the face. "So you like to beat up sparklings how would you feel if some bot beat up your kid!" Starscream growled. Callus began to cuss. Biglaw came in. "Starscream stand down," Optimus said for he and Megatron had come in to. "That mech hurt my daughter! And now she doesn't have wings now!" Starscream yelled. "The little seeker had to die there should be no more seekers all of you are murderers!" Callus barked. "Well seekers don't like it when kids are in danger back on Cybertron we're called defenders of the innocent." Starscream said. "She would become a killer I know it," Callus said. "Stardust?! She wouldn't hurt a fly," Optimus said. "Starscream head out here we'll handle him and I bet Stardust needs you," Megatron said even Megatron could stand to see young being harmed his sparkling sitter hit him once and she was fired by his father and his father and uncle never raised a hand against him. Starscream left the brig grumbling. "Why did you defend that killer?" Callus asked. "Not all fliers are the same Starscream is father trying to keep his young safe." Optimus said and Callus kept on being grumpy. Biglaw managed to get him to confess.
Starscream saw Stardust fast asleep with Cherry tight her arms. Starscream stroked her head. Then he received word that the seeker medic has arrived. "Hi my name is Blowingstorm. So let's take look at our patient." He said. He walked in saw Stardust sound asleep holding on to her toy. "Such precious sparkling who would attack something that looks this sweet and innocent." He said. Skywarp and Thundercracker were there. Blowingstorm pulled back the bandages Skywarp gasped and turned away at the sight. Blowingstorm looked at it. "Do you think you can fix her?" Slipstream asked. "Of course looks like a full wing replacement with flight gears need need to be replaced a very simple surgery and with my help she will fly with ease." He reassured.
Stardust woke up after he left. "Mommy, Daddy?" She said trying to get up. "Don't do that sweetie lie down." Starscream said. "I can't feel my wings why can't I?' She asked. Starscream sighed and said. "The reason why you can't feel them is because you don't have any," "What?!" Stardust shrieked and began to cry. "What's going on?" Red alert asked. "Stardust found out her wings are gone and she's upset." Slipstream explained. "You're getting new better wings made especially for you." Red alert said. "But I want my wings!" Stardust cried. "Leave her be," Blowingstorm said. Red alert turned around. "She has good reason to be upset many seekers are upset by the loss of their wings, their part of our identity. She calm down after awhile don't worry." He told him. Starscream got an idea and brought in Thundercracker. "Hey sweetie," Thundercracker said. "Uncle Thundercracker my wings are gone." She cried. "I know the same thing happened to me I got full wing replacement surgery and I was fine and you will be fine too." He said. "But I want my wings!" She said again. "I know but I made these new wings mine I put on my color decal and got a new symbol on it and now they're mine." he said. "I understand will you still teach me how to fly?" She asked. "Of course." He said. Stardust went back to sleep holding Cherry close.
