Hey guys! Just want to once again, thank you all for the wonderful reviews. : D

Chapter 9: Med Bay

I groaned, my eyes open slowly, adjusting to the room I was in, only to groan again. I was in the Med Bay…again! There was a dull throbbing in my head, and my hands still felt numb. At least I wasn't in one of those horrifying medical gowns again.

"You're awake." A voice nearby mumbled, and I turned my head to see Ratchet, once again in his holoform , and a clipboard in his hands.

"Ugh," I groaned, "What happened?"

"You suffered radiation poisoning from having such contact with the shard." He said staring at me, "You also seemed to have absorbed some of the energy inside the shard too, I've ran many scans, and I'm starting to pick up an energy signature from you."

"Is that a good thing or bad thing?" I asked groggily.

"Because you are a different species, it shouldn't be possible." Ratchet answered, a troubled look on his face.

"And I thought Transformers and all that came with it were fictional, but look where that got me." I retorted.

Ratchet sighed heavily, "I just don't understand it! How could we not sense the Allspark's presence?"

I shrugged, "I'm just as surprised. I felt…some kind of invisible force, pushing me out through the desert to find it. And when I was on the verge of fainting, I um….. I heard a voice whisper inside my head."

Ratchet looked at me, an eyebrow raised. "A voice? Are you implying that the shard spoke to you?"

"I….don't necessarily think it was the Allspark that was communicating with me, I think someone was using it to communicate withme."

Ratchet nodded slowly, "And who do you think it might be?"

I shrugged again, "I'm not sure. So, when am I cleared to go back to my room doc?"

"I would like for you to stay another day, so I can ran a few more scans on you."

I shuddered, "As long as I don't become your science experiment."

He snorted, "I am only concerned for your health."

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever you say doc bot. So, what do I do until then?"

"I highly suggest resting for now. I will check on you in a little while."

He began walking towards the door and I smiled. I realized the pattern that we form, Ratchet leaves, assuming I'll go to sleep, and then I get up and run off somewhere else causing more trouble. Just then, he stopped right in his tracks and turned around.

"Oh, and I installed an alarm in this room, it alerts me when you decide to sneak away, I can track you down." He added before walking out of the door.

~ Sunstreaker's POV ~

A squishy! A fragging human being! And of all the fleshies on this planet, I was stuck babysitting the most annoying one! I would've liked to yell at Optimus how this was unfair and plain stupid, but my aft was already in enough trouble with him. And I do need to redeem myself….but why, oh why a fleshling? Of all the better punishments he could've given me!

Hey Sunny. Something wrong? Sideswipe asked, sending genuine worry through our twin bond. I rolled my optics.

Yes! I'm still wondering how I ended up being a babysitter.

Sides laughed and I outright glared at him, sending annoyance and threats through our bond.

What's so bad about being a guardian?

I groaned.

It's the femme I'm guarding!

Sides looked thoughtful for a moment and then realization dawned in on him.

I like the femme, she's feisty.

I snorted.

Don't tell me you like her.

Don't act like you don't care about her. He retorted.

I looked at him, glaring intensely, "Who the frag gave you that pit-spawned idea?"

Sideswipe snickered, "You have to at least have a genuine care for her well being. It's a part of your job."

I shook my helm furiously, "Why should I care? It's her own fault for touching the shard anyway!"

Sides just rolled his optics and shook his helm, "You'll come around."

And with that, he left. Growling furiously, I transformed and raced out of the Autobot hangar, an urgent need for speed pumping the Energon in my wires.

~ Macey's POV ~

I was bored. It had only been an hour and a half and Ratchet hadn't came back. I was bored, and it's dangerous when a girl like me is bored. I feel more bold, and I get restless. So you could see how laying on a medical bed all day obviously wasn't going to help my severe boredness.

I smirked to myself, Let's see just how well Ratchet's little tracker works…..

I slowly got out of bed, carefully pulling out all the wires attached and slid out of bed. I then checked my body for any trackers and found nothing on me. Than how is he gonna track me? I shrugged, thinking he was probably bluffing. I opened the door softly, and peeked through the narrow opening. The halls were not as busy as last time, but hopefully it was enough for me to get away without being noticed. Hopefully.

Turns out luck was on my side today, I didn't go to my room or Becca, because if Ratchet or anyone would find out that I was gone, it'd probably be the first place they checked. So, I decided to go to the last place they would check, the courtyard.

I sat on a large crate, watching as the Chevy Twins wrestled each other while Ironhide stood next to me, arms crossed, looking at them with an amused expression. Mudflap managed to punch Skids in the mouth, and his gold tooth flew a few feet away.

"Ow! Yo man, dats my tooth!" Skids cried, and I busted into a fit of laughter as Ironhide chuckled and Mudflap snickering.

Skids growled, and tackled Mudflap again while he was distracted, and the fight continued on. I sighed out loud.

"They're idiots." Ironhide muttered.

I turned to him frowning, "They're just being brothers, not everyone was made for war."

Ironhide looked at me, his piercing blue eyes made me feel a bit uncomfortable and I shifted my position, clearing my throat.

"I've been meaning to ask you, femme, how did you absorb all the energy in the shard?"

I raised an eyebrow, "All?"

"Yes," He nodded, "Ratchet tried to harvest it's energy, there was nothing there. It was if it had transferred it to you."

I looked at him, awe-struck by his words, "So, you mean to tell me….that I have all the energy from that shard?"

The ends of Ironhide's facial plates curved into a small smile, "I believe so."
