Chapter 4
Blaster woke to a sudden pain in her chest. She opened her optics slowly and looked around. The room was bare and had no color. She looked to her left and saw an Autobot standing by her. The Autobot was red and yellow. Mostly yellow though. Blaster tried to sit up, but she found that her legs and arms were restrained to a berth. The door opened and Optimus walked in.
"How is she?" Optimus asked walking over to the yellow mech.
"Her spark levels are a little bit below normal. The shot that Ironhide fired caused damage to her chest and caused her to go into stasis. I don't see her waking up in a lit-"
"Ratchet, she's already up." Optimus pointed out looking at Blaster.
"Oh, how are you feeling, Blaster, right?" Ratchet asked looking at Blaster.
"Where am I?" Blaster's voice was strained.
"You are at the Autobots' base and you are now a POW." Optimus said with a straight face.
"My question is still unanswered. How are you feeling?" Ratchet asked again.
"Like crap." Blaster spat.
"Okay, not the answer I was expecting but it will due. What hurts?" Ratchet turned back to the computer that was in front of him.
"Why are you helping me?" Blaster asked, her voice getting stronger.
"We are helping you because we are Autobots. We are not Decepticons." Optimus said folding his arms across his chest.
"But why?" Blaster asked.
"We won't answers." Optimus answered stiffly.
"What kind of answers?" Blaster asked with narrow eyes.
"For starters, why are you a Decepticon?" Optimus asked with folded arms.
"That's none of your business." Blaster said bluntly toward the Prime.
"Then this is going to be a long day for you." Optimus looked at Blaster with narrow Optics.
Blaster shut her optics and she forced herself into stasis.
"What happened Ratchet?" Optimus asked looking at Ratchet.
"She put herself in stasis. She forced herself, actually. I don't know why and I can't help with it. She is the one who can bring herself out of stasis." Ratchet explained.
"Well, try and get her out of stasis." Optimus said leaving the room.
Ratchet turned and looked at Blaster. "What are we going to do with you, you 'Con." Ratchet said. Ratchet looked at Blaster's arm and noticed something. "What is that?" Ratchet looked closer. He placed his servo on her arm and wiped away paint. "Paint? What are you hiding, Blaster?" Ratchet wiped away some more paint. He saw a little more red on her arm. He rubbed some more and what he saw surprised him. He shut his optics tightly and then looked at Blaster's arm.
He saw the Autobot insignia. "Why do you have an Autobot insignia?" He asked no one in particular.
"She was once an Autobot. But she switched sides all of the sudden, surprising her commander, Ultra Magnus." Ironhide walked into the room and folded his arms.
"And how would you know this?" Ratchet asked looking at Ironhide.
"I know her. We were friends on Cybertron. She was once an Autobot and she was under the command of Ultra Magnus. Then one day she switched sides and was under the command of Megatron." Ironhide walked over to Ratchet.
"You knew her?" Ratchet asked with a surprised sound in his voice.
"I know her." Ironhide corrected.
"Okay, how did you know her?" Ratchet asked, trying to understand.
"I first met her when I was going to the training center. There I saw her using a bow. She is an excellent bowman. I swear on Primus."Ironhide said looking at Blaster.
"Wow, you never mention this." Ratchet turned to the computer and watched Blaster's vitals.
"Yeah, well I had no need of mentioning it until now. How is she?" Ironhide asked still looking at Blaster.
"Her spark is getting stronger and the wound has practicality healed it's self. So, she's doing pretty well". Ratchet went over to a draw and opened it. He pulled out a syringe type thing and walked over to Blaster. "I'm just going to test her energon for any diseases that the computer wouldn't pick up." Ratchet went over to Blaster and stuck the syringe in her arm. The syringe filled with bluish purplish liquid.
"Wow, he energon looks different than ours." Ironhide walked by Ratchet.
"Yeah, well." Ratchet emptied the contents in the syringe into a machine. The machine made little beeps and they could hear the gears moving. "Well, doesn't look like anything is wrong. That's good. Hey, Ironhide, could you watch Blaster? I am going to find Red Alert." Ratchet headed to the door.
"Yes, I can."
"Thanks." Ratchet walked out of the room and Ironhide stayed.
Ironhide turned and looked at Blaster, who was still strapped down to the metal berth.
"What are we going to do with you?" Ironhide asked no one in particular.
Blaster's optics lit up. "Is Ratchet gone?" Blaster asked Ironhide.
"Yep, you're safe, for now." Ironhide said freeing Blaster's legs and arms.
"Thanks." Blaster rubbed her wrist. She looked at her left arm and saw the paint had been rubbed away. "What happened?"
"Ratchet found your Autobot insignia. I couldn't stop him. Sorry." Ironhide looked at Blaster.
"It's fine. Did you tell him anything?" Blaster asked.
"I just told him about how we knew each other on Cybertron and how you joined Megatron's team, leaving Ultra Magnus in shock." Ironhide explained.
"Good. And anything about who my brother is or about the special thing?"
"Nope, but you're going to have to spill soon. They are going to start question you further about your life and the Decepticons. You better watch yourself or they'll catch you and figure out you secrets and I won't be able to help you." Ironhide said with a straight face.
"I understand-"
"No, you do not understand! If you did, you would have just told them straight up and you would not have put yourself in stasis so they couldn't ask you anymore questions. You just need to answer the question and take the heat. No pun intended." Ironhide raised his voice.
"Ironhide, for Primus's sake." Blaster said putting her head in her hands.
"Blaster, you are going to tell them soon, or I will." Ironhide threatened.
"Oh, look, she's awake. Why doesn't she have any restrains?" Ratchet asked looking at Blaster with one of his guns out.
"It's fine Ratchet. Just keep your eye on her and she won't harm you." Ironhide said not taking his eyes off of Blaster.
"You must have a lot of trust in her." Ratchet inched forward.
"Of course, I have known her far too well." Ironhide said with a smile.
"Well, I don't know her that well." Ratchet inched forward again.
Blaster's optics narrowed and looked at Ratchet with his gun out.
"Ratchet, put you gun away. If you don't, let's just say Blaster may blow you head off." Ironhide warned Ratchet.
Ratchet narrowed his optics as well and stared at Blaster.
Optimus stared at the code on the computer.
"Are you confused?" Red Alert asked walking up by the Prime.
"No, just thinking. I really haven't been focusing on the code." Optimus looked at Red Alert.
"Just a thought, you may want to focus on the code so we can find the other Minicons and recover them before the Decepticons find them. You are the only one on our team who can decode these codes." Red Alert pointed for what seemed like the hundredth time to Optimus.
"I understand, Red Alert." Optimus stated turning back to the computer.
"You know, Blaster, kind of looks like you. It's mainly the deep color of you optics and how tall you two are." Red Alert went over to the door and exited the room.
Optimus searched Blaster's name, putting off the code for a while. The information that Ironhide read to him earlier that day showed up. He read over that real quick and then he clicked on the button that said "relatives". Under it, it said that she did have a brother. But it didn't say who. It didn't say who her creators were. He exited out of it and clicked on the button that said "Side chosen". Under this link, it said that she had no real side chosen. This confused Optimus very much. She had a Decepticon insignia and yet on the computer it said that she had no real side chosen.
"Red Alert." Optimus called.
"Yes Prime?" Red Alert came running into the room.
"Why does it say that she isn't on a side?" Optimus pointed at the screen.
"Maybe it wasn't updated?" Red Alert said with a confused voice.
"No, these things are always being updated." Optimus stated.
"Well, it does say that she is an Autobot." Red Alert pointed out, looking at the screen.
"Wait a minute?" Optimus looked at the screen closely. "What?"
"You didn't notice that?" Red Alert asked.
"No. But if she's an Autobot, then why is she working with the Decepticons?" Optimus asked with a confused face.
"Well, don't you remember what Ironhide said? That she is a spy and can make a team think that she is part of their team." Red Alert stated from earlier.
"But still."
"Ratchet stop. You don't know what you are getting yourself into!" Ironhide yelled at Ratchet.
"Ironhide, she is our enemy. She always has to have a gun on pointed at her." Ratchet said with narrow Optics.
"Ratchet, don't. You are making things worse for yourself." Ironhide pointed out.
"She's our enemy, if anything she is the one making things worse for her." Ratchet said through gritted teeth.
"No she's not!" Ironhide yelled.
"What do you-"
"I'm an Autobot, you idiot!" Blaster stood up from the berth.
"What?" Ratchet looked like he was just slapped across the face.
"I'm an Autobot." Blaster said slowly so Ratchet could understand it.
"I-I don't understand." Ratchet looked from Blaster to Ironhide, then back to Blaster.
"I'm a spy for the Autobots. Meaning that I will be a Decepticon to figure out information." Blaster explained.
"But what about you surprising you old commander by becoming a Decepticon?" Ratchet asked with a confused look.
"I did that because it really added an effect. The Decepticons really thought that I was joining their team. Making my spying business much easier." Blaster explained.
Just then, Optimus came into the room.
"Ratchet I-"Optimus stopped mid-way seeing Blaster standing up. "Why isn't she strapped down?" Optimus asked.
"She's an Autobot, Prime." Ironhide said.
