When Alex came to again, it was to meet by a bright light. Blinking a few times to make it go away, but it was persistent to stay. Groaning she threw an arm over her eyes giving some relief to the bright white.

"How do you feel?" asked an all to familiar voice.

Surprised Alex brought her arm away and found herself staring into a pair of blue optics. "Ratchet?" she gasped not really believing what she was seeing. He pulled away a little bit and she was able to see his whole face properly, a soft smile seen rarely on him.

"You scared us all when we rescued you." He spoke softly.

"Rescued," she shook her head. "I don't understand." The last thing she remembered was being in the decepticon's hand and then everything was blank after that.

"After the attack by Rumble against you, Starscream gave the coordinates of where to take the all spark fragments. Prowl set to work on coming up with a plan. He only had a few hours so it wasn't a very good plan, according to him it wasn't, but it was suitable enough."

"Prime took the all spark from its hiding place and presented it to Starscream, who was rather startled that it was regenerating and in that moment we attacked. Our main priority was getting you to safety, which thanks to Bumblebee was doing."

Here he paused looking a little unsettled. "Bee brought you back here immediately and then I began fixing you up. It took some time but I was able to get you stable. Your right arm was broken in two places from the fall and there was cuts and open wounds all over your body."

"Rumble," she spoke up as he looked back at her. He had moved to his workbench across from her and was cleaning his tools. He gave her a confused look. "Rumble poked me often with his knife while I was in the holding cell.

Everything had come back to her now before she had passed out a final time, the jabs from the little decepticon, up to the fight with him in the room. "How long was I out?" she asked trying to sit up.

"No, don't move. It'll cause some of the stitching to come apart," he said placing a giant hand over her body. She sighed and gave up. "You were out a good two weeks.

"Two weeks!" she exclaimed resuming her attempt to sit up again.

Once again she was denied that. "Alex as your doctor you will not move." She glared up at him. "You need rest, your body is still healing and it will be a long process, one that will…"

But whatever it was she wouldn't be able to find out as the door to the med bay opened and a loud voice spoke. "Hey Ratchet how's it going?"

The medic jumped at the sudden intrusion into his lair and a glared appeared upon his face looking at the mech who dared enter his med bay. "Sideswipe, you better have a good reason for being here otherwise I will deactivate you." Ratchet threatened picking up a wrench.

Alex heard a chuckle and turned her head to see Sideswipe looking at the wrench carefully although he didn't seem threatened b it. "Ah Ratchet, I'm here to see Alex."

Alex looked at the yellow medic who had raised his wrench above his head and was getting ready to toss it at the red Lamborghini.

"Ratchet," she spoke up and both mech's looked towards her. "Let him stay please," she pleaded softly. He looked angry that she had pleaded for Sideswipe to stay, when he wanted nothing more then to throw the mech out of there.

He brought the wrench down and placed the wrench on the table. "Fine, but only for a few minutes then you are to rest." He growled walking into his office. Alex breathed a sigh of relief when the door closed, glad that Sideswipe got to stay.

It took a minute to realize that he had moved next to her and that he was looking down at her concerned. She gave him a tight smile as she tried a little to sit up, which he helped her with. "How do you feel Alex?" he asked once she was comfortable.

Shrugging she answered him. "Besides being tackled by a freaky little thing, I'm alright. What about you?"

He gave her a smile. "Great knowing that you're back safe and sound. Sunny and I kicked some con aft during the fight." Alex had frozen when she heard Sunstreaker's nick name.

"Where is he?" she asked looking around the bay for him. "Where is Sunstreaker?"

The red Lamborghini gave out a sigh. "He's in the brig."

"What, why?" sitting up straighter.

"Because he was causing a ruckus in here while Ratchet was trying to work on your arm. Sunny actually punched him and now that's why he's in the brig." Sideswipe explained.

"How long has he been in there?"

"For as long as you've been in the med bay." Two weeks he had been in the brig, sitting in a cell all by himself.

"I want to go see him." She said moving to throw off the blankets.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" a new voice broke in. "You are to stay here and rest until I have released up myself." They both turned to see Ratchet stomping out of his office a glare leveled at Sideswipe.

"I think I better go." Sideswipe gulped lowering her back down, before running out of the bay.

Alex turned an angry glare at the medic. "What did you do that for? I wasn't done talking to him."

"Because he will end up like his brother in the brig with no visitor's other then Prowl or me," he said coming over to her and checking her over.

Alex yanked her arm from his grip and scooting as far from him as possible. "That is horrible and very cruel. Leave me alone," she yelled turned away from him.

A sigh escaped his ventilators as he walked back to his office leaving her alone in the big bay. A few choice tears escaped her eyes as her heart went out to her guardian, all by himself without a friend to talk to.

She wondered how long he was to stay down there as she wiped her eyes and began looking around the med bay. Scooting to the edge of the berth she looked near the ground, when Alex spotted as bent.

Looking to Ratchet's office, he had his back towards her as she began formulating a plan. She laid back in her previous spot a small smile on her lips as she closed her eyes allowing her body to relax as she fell asleep.

"Ratchet, I'm bored," she cried a few days later sitting back against a pillow.

Said mech growled deeply after she told him for the hundred time since waking that morning. She was feeling a lot better and most of her pain had disappeared although her arm sat in a cast.

"If your bored, you can go to sleep," he snapped, his patience thinned.

She scowled at his back. "I'm tired of sleeping, it's all I've done for the past two weeks. No, I want to get out of here and do something else. I want to talk with someone other then you. Like Sam, Mikaela, Sideswipe, Bumblebee, hell even Prowl."

That had finally done it as he turned to her and Alex tried to keep a calm face at his rather dangerous one. "If I let you go out for a few hours, will stop bugging me," he all but yelled.

She quickly shook her head and he called Bumblebee into the med bay. Said camero showed up a few minutes later looking a little hesitant as he caught sight of Ratchet's face.

"Take her out of here, but only for a few hours, she's driving me insane." Bee quickly picked up Alex who all but waved as they left the bay, glad she didn't have to be in there.

"Bee, can we go see Sunstreaker?" she asked once he had turned a corner.

He shook his head. "I'm sorry, but no one is allowed to see him yet." She huffed not at all happy. "But, Sam and Mikaela have been waiting to see you so I will take you to them."

He walked down a few hallways before coming to the human quarters and setting her gently down outside the door before turning to leave. She waved to him as he rounded a corner and disappeared as she walked into the room beyond.

Arms were instantly flung around her as Mikaela's black hair obscured her vision. "You don't know how happy I am to see you," cried the hysterical girl, pulling away. "We heard all about it and it was so awful. I was so scared and then the video when you were fighting with that decepticon and then you…"

Alex placed her hand over her friend's mouth stopping any talk. "Take a breath Mika." Waiting as her friend did so. "Good, feel better."

"Yes, but what about you?" she returned.

Alex gave her a small smile walking further into the room and taking a seat on one of the beds. "I'm feeling better even though I have a cast on my arm." Waving her right arm. "What have you two been up to?" she asked looking back and forth between them.

Sam shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing much, we've been stuck here on the base because Optimus doesn't want us leaving in case decepticon's attacked."

"My family?" she asked realizing that they were in danger.

"All of our families have been taken to a secure location until the decepticon's are gone." Alex relaxed a little, looking away.

"What's a matter Alex?" Mikaela asked sitting next to her friend.

"I want to see Sunstreaker, but Ratchet said no ones to see him other then Prowl and him." She whispered softly.

"We know we tried to too." Spoke Sam sitting next to his girlfriend.

Alex took a deep breath. "Will you help me?" They gave her a confused look. She then pointed to a big vent to which they looked at dawning on Mikaela quickly, while Sam looked back and forth.

"Are you sure?" asked Mikaela slightly apprehensive. Alex nodded her head when Sam gasped as both girls stood up and made their way over to the vent. "Sam, help me with this." Mikaela spoke picking up a pry bar.

Alex didn't ask why there were tools in the room but stood off to the side as her two friends worked quickly to unscrew the screws. The turned easily and were soon working on the other three before taking the vent off completely.

"Want us to come with you?" asked Sam as Alex climbed into the shaft.

She shook her head and began walking. "No, stay here and try and keep Ratchet and Prowl away from the brig for a little bit." She then walked further into the shaft hoping that she could find her way to the brig quickly.

She didn't know how long she had already been in the shaft as she looked out of one of the panels, before realizing the hallway she was in. There was a big black door across from the shaft and she recognized it as the door leading to the brig.

Alex continued walking on until she was sure she was in the right shaft, taking a peak out of the covers. A smile lit up her face when right across from the vent was Sunstreaker, his optics offline resting on the berth.

"Sunstreaker." He shot up and began looking around carefully. "Sunstreaker," she whispered and he turned towards her voice.

"Alex, what are you doing out of the med bay?" he asked kneeling in front of the vent. He pulled it off quickly, the sound bouncing off the walls as he held out his hand for her.

"I wanted to see you," she told him as he sat upon the berth again. He set her down and activated his holoform to which she instantly threw her left arm around his neck. "and thank you." She whispered the last part into his ear pulling away slightly.

His arms were wrapped tightly around her waist as they looked into each other eyes, his deep blue ones mixing with her own green ones. "I was so afraid I had lost you." He whispered softly bringing up on of his hands and cupping her cheek.

Alex closed her eyes leaning into his touch as he increased her hold. She looked back at him and before she knew it, they had leaned in towards one another theirs lips meeting tentatively. He tilted her head and deepened the kiss, which heated up quickly.

There was a sudden hiss and they pulled away turning to look at the doorway where stood a very shocked Prowl. Sunstreaker's holoform quickly shielded her behind him as she felt Prowl's heated gaze on them. Overcoming his shock he called over his com link. "Prowl to Ratchet, get down to the brig immediately."

Alex let a shiver run through her at the thought of what was to come from the medic as she continued to hide behind Sunny.

No one spoke as they waited for the medic, who entered a few minutes later looking from Prowl to Sunstreaker. It was on the second look that he stopped and a dangerous expression came over his face.

"I did not allow you out to go visit your guardian," he spoke his voice dangerously low. She suddenly feared that what she had just done will also affect her guardian as Prowl made his way towards the cell.

Sunstreaker's holoform disappeared and he picked her up in his hand, cradling her closely to his chest and packing away from the door. Prowl entered the cell followed by ratchet who was holding out his hand, but Sunstreaker only glared at the medic.

"Neither of us will harm her, just hand her over," Ratchet spoke calmly.

"No," Sunny hissed bringing her closer if possible. "I don't trust you. You've kept me locked up in here for over two weeks and I haven't been able to do a thing. I either go out with her or she stays in here with me."

"She still isn't fit enough to be out of the med bay." Growled Ratchet.

"THEY WHY DID YOU LET HER OUT!" hollered the yellow Lamborghini.

"Why don't you ask her yourself?"

"I would think that she didn't want to be stuck in there all by herself anymore. Just like me."

"ENOUGH SUNTREAKER," Prowl shouted all turning to him. "Ratchet I must ask you to wait outside the brig. That was an order." He said, as the medic got ready to shout back.

Ratchet gave Sunstreaker a glare before he walked out, the hiss of the door indicating he had gone. Alex peaked her head over her guardian's hand but quickly ducked again at Prowl's disapproving look.

"How did you get in here Alex?" Prowl asked her.

She popped her head up again, but only shook it, not wanting to get into trouble. "Sorry Prowl, but I rather keep my silence then tell you how I got in here."

"Then I cannot allow you to come back in here." He said taking a step forward.

"THEN LET HIM OUT!" Alex yelled at him.

Prowl looked at her closely. "That was my intention when I came her, but I may change my mind if he doesn't hand you over so that I can hand you back over to Ratchet."

"But there's nothing to do other then sleep and listen to him grumble. I don't want to be confined to one space. I got enough of that from the decepticon's." she mumbled softly.

Alex felt Sunstreaker tighten his grip on her and it slowly eased her fear as Prowl let out a sigh. "If I let him out will you promise to do what Ratchet says and I'll see if I can get you out of the med bay for a few hours."

Alex looked up at her guardian who was looking down at her only getting a slight incline from him. She turned back to Prowl and nodded her as he turned and opened the door of the cell.

Sunstreaker followed as he led the way out of the brig, Ratchet waiting on the other side. Prowl took a stance in between the two yellow mech's as Alex remained hidden in Sunny's hand.

It was a while before the medic turned and began leading the way back to the med bay, Prowl behind him followed by Sunstreaker. They arrived at the med bay quicker then she would have like as the walked in and the doors closed behind.

Ratchet pointed to the berth she had previously occupied earlier that day and Sunstreaker made his way over them. It sat upon it, Alex hiding a grin behind her hand as the two yellow mech continued to glare at one another.

Meanwhile Prowl shook his head. "Sunstreaker," he began to which the yellow mech turned to him.

Slowly, Alex felt herself being lowered onto the berth next to Sunny's leg though his hand barely moved away from her.

"I am her guardian and I want to stay by her side to make sure no harm falls upon her." He all but growled at the two standing mechs. Ratchet looked ready to throw the nearest object at him, while Prowl remained indifferent his expression cool and calm. Only the twitch of his doorwings was the only indication of his irritation.

BOOM

The base shook as both Prowl and Ratchet staggered from the explosion, shouts and yells coming from outside the door. It opened to emit Bumblebee. "Wheeljack's experiment just blew up," he exclaimed before turning and leaving.

There was a few second hesitations before Ratchet and Prowl both followed leaving Alex and Sunstreaker alone.

Alex jumped suddenly when Sunstreaker's holoform appeared next to her, wrapping his strong arms around her. She instantly relaxed. "I was actually scared I would never see you again," she whispered hugging him tightly back. "Sunny, I think I'm falling for you," she confessed looking him straight in the eye.

To her she seemed completely shocked and she wondered if she spoke to mech as her arms dropped to her side. Alex slowly backed away and this seemed to snap him out of his shock as his arms tightened around her. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked.

"Well… I… um, that is…" mumbling incoherently. A chuckle came from him as he glared up at his face.

However, her glare didn't render him as he leaned in and tentatively touched her lips with his. It was deepened when she began responding to his ministrations, pressing her body further into his, making sure every part of them touched.

They jumped back when Ratchet walked in carry Wheeljack by his arms, while Ironhide followed with the Chief Engineer's feet in his. "Put him on the berth here," Ratchet grumbled as the two mech's did so.

The medic turned grabbing his tools and began working on the offline Wheeljack who seemed to have melted his armor to his body. Alex watched as the melted parts were quickly pulled from his body showing more damage underneath that then she thought possible.

"Don't worry, Ratchet will fix him up," Sunstreaker reassured her resting his head upon her shoulder, while wrapping his arms around her.

At the sound of the yellow mech's voice the medic's head shot up taking in their odd stance. "Take her out of here, I don't have time to deal with you two right now." He all but growled.

The holoform behind her disappeared as Sunny's black hand wrapped around her and they made their way out of the med bay, the doors hissing shut behind them.

Author Notes: Not the ending I was expecting for this chapter. But then I was expecting more of the whole chapter. I wanted to write about the battle scene, but just couldn't get the words out right.

Look, they finally shared kisses. HEHE!

Yeah anyways Please review!
