The femme on the ground looked up at Smokescreen who immediately launched himself at her dropping onto the floor and wrapping his arms around her, she too wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in his shoulder. Prowl looked at his brother and the femme in his arms shocked, how in Pit had she managed to get to Earth and end up being chased by the Cons of all bots? Dodging a shot from Starscream the black and gold mech took shelter next to the two bots. Finally Smokescreen pulled back and cupped the femme's cheek
"I thought I'd lost you" he whispered putting his forehead on hers
"I'm sorry" She replied just as quietly
"Don't apologise to me Phoenix, you're my sparkmate I'm just happy that you're safe" smiling he pressed a quick kiss to her lips he looked over at Prowl who was watching the Decepticons, the orange and red femme followed Smokescreen's gaze and smiled when she saw Prowl. The black and gold ninja turned around and smiled at Phoenix
"It's good to see you're online" he said all three bots ducked down when gunshots fired at their hiding place "We need to move now" Smokescreen nodded turning to Phoenix she nodded at him, gently but quickly he picked her up and held her against his chassis. Prowl looked over the edge and upon seeing Optimus and the other Autobots opposite them signalled Prime carefully so he wouldn't attract any unwanted attention, the young Prime saw him and nodded. Phoenix winced slightly as Smokescreen moved forward, "Get ready to run" Prowl said watching as Optimus barely dodged Megatron's sword. "Now!" Smokescreen and Prowl bolted out of their hiding place Smokescreen still holding onto his sparkmate
Blackarachnia smiled as she sat on the edge of the couch and looked down at Moonlight who was playing around with her blanket while watching something on the TV, since the end of the Great War very few sparklings were created, so just having that chance to be with Moonlight was a gift. After a few moments Moonlight looked up at the femme and smiled before moving across the couch and patting next to her, clearly asking her to sit down beside her. Blackarachnia smiled and sat down beside her, almost instantly Moonlight climbed into her lap and snuggled up against her chassis before watching the TV once more.
"Where daddy?" Moonlight asked quietly her blue optics looking into Blackarachnia's red ones
"Out at the moment, he'll be back soon enough" for a few moments the two of them sat watching TV, Moonlight's tanks rumbled making her grimace slightly "Let's get you some energon" gently Blackarachnia moved her from her lap and placed her back on the couch before standing up, Moonlight watched as the older femme got her some low-grade. As she walked back towards the couch Blackarachnia noticed the little femme was watching her intently, more specifically the energon in her hand when she reached the couch she sat down and brought Moonlight back into her lap and gave her the energon.
Instantly Moonlight forgot about everything else and happily drank the energon, when she was finally done she put the empty bottle down in her lap. Blackarachnia smiled down at the little femme in her lap, very gently she picked her up and placed her on the couch picking up the bottle and disposing of it.
"Birdy" Moonlight chirped Blackarachnia spun around thinking it was Laserbeak, she sighed in relief when she saw it was a small organic bird perched in the rafters. With a smile she sat down beside the youngling who watched the bird with interested optics
"I'm guessing your father has been watching nature programs with you" she muttered under her breath while smiling down at Moonlight, the young femme giggled when the bird stretched its wings out before flying off. Moonlight looked up at Blackarachnia before looking to the legs on her back
"What they?" she asked pointing at them, Blackarachnia smiled down at her
"They're my legs" Moonlight looked up at her
"But you standing on your legs" she said in a confused tone, Blackarachnia chuckled and picked her up.
"Oh no sweetie, let me show you" placing Moonlight down on the couch she moved back and transformed into her alt mode, the youngling stared in awe at the spider in front of her.
"You a spider!" Moonlight said with a grin transforming back Blackarachnia smiled
"Yes I am" picking her back up Blackarachnia walked over to one of the windows and looked outside, smiling Moonlight looked at the vehicles driving past them. The ex-Con however was focused on a large plume of smoke coming from a few streets away, frowning she held the little femme closer.
"Down please" placing her down on the floor the femme watched her go over to a ball Sari had gotten her, after making sure she wasn't going to be leaving the room Blackarachnia turned back to the window.
"Please be ok Optimus" she whispered
Prowl grunted as he was thrown to the ground from the force of an explosion, a hand grabbed his arm and hauled him to his feet pulling him forward. Looking up he saw it was Optimus who had pulled him to safety, both Smokescreen and Phoenix were to his side firing at the Decepticons.
"DECEPTICONS RETREAT!" Megatron ordered transforming and flying off in the opposite direction the rest of his men following, Smokescreen helped Phoenix to her feet and waited for the other Autobots to re-group. Optimus turned to face them both
"Optimus this is my sparkmate Phoenix" she smiled up at the young Prime
"It's a pleasure to meet you" she said holding her hand out to him, he shook her hand and smiled back at her
"The pleasure is mine" releasing her hand he turned to the other Autobots "Let's get back to base" not surprisingly Prowl was the first to transform and speed off towards the base, Optimus chuckled and shook his head before transforming and following the cycle with the others following him. Phoenix turned to look at Smokescreen
"Why did Prowl drive off like that?" she asked watching her sparkmate
"Would you believe me if I told you Prowl was a father?" he laughed at the look on her faceplates "It's the honest truth, he has a little femme called Moonlight. Oh and just to say back at the base we have an ex-con called Blackarachnia, she won't hurt you unless you threaten her." Phoenix nodded before transforming, she hissed in pain "Nix are you sure you should have done that?" he asked in concern
"I don't know and to be honest Smokey I don't really care, I just want to get out of here" sighing Smokescreen transformed and drove back towards the base his sparkmate following close behind.
Prowl transformed jogging into the base looking around he chuckled when he saw Moonlight in recharge on the floor, her head was buried in her blanket her legs spread out behind her. Blackarachnia looked over from where she was standing by the monitors, she smiled at Prowl who was walking over to his daughter.
"She hasn't caused you any trouble has she?" he asked as he gently picked her up and wrapped her in the blanket
"No trouble at all Prowl" she replied smiling at him "What happened out there?" the black and gold mech shifted his daughter in his arms and turned to face her
"Megatron and the other Decepticons were chasing a femme" this seemed to catch Blackarachnia's attention "Turns out the femme being attacked was Phoenix, my brothers sparkmate." the ex-con smiled
"That's good, I guess your family is finally together again isn't it?" Prowl walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Things will work out between you and Optimus, just trust in him and us." with that he let the room and walked towards his own quarters. Blackarachnia turned to watch him leave, perhaps he was right and trusting in Optimus would be for the best. She turned back around upon hearing engines the other Autobots transformed and walked inside, Ratchet gave her a curt nod before waiting for Smokescreen and Phoenix. As soon as the two of them came inside Ratchet immediately sent them to the Med Bay following after them both.
"Come with me Elita" Optimus said quietly taking her hand and leaving the others in the main room, she followed him as he went back to his quarters. Turning around he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against him, she placed a hand on his chassis and looked up at him.
"Optimus what's wrong?" he asked
"Megatron was shooting at Smokescreen's sparkmate, the new femme you saw. I need to know do you recognise her?" Blackarachnia shook her head
"I've never seen her before in my life why?" Optimus sighed
"I just find it suspicious how she could be on Earth without us knowing, we should have picked up her energy signal."
"There was a part of the ship Megatron never allowed anyone inside, it's possible that she was being kept their and when the ship crashed she survived. Megatron could've gone and retrieved her and dragged her to the new base" she commented looking into Prime's optics "She could have escaped, it's possible. I doubt that Megatron watches his prisoners every hour of every day."
"Perhaps you are right but either way I'm going to keep a close optic on her." he placed his head on Blackarachnia's shoulder "I need you to watch her as well 'Lita, I can't put anyone's life at risk" with a smile she put her own head on his shoulder
Smokescreen walked into his quarters with Phoenix after she had been cleared by Ratchet, the Praxian turned to smile at her and gently nuzzled her neck. She too smiled up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck
"I need to go and speak with Prowl quickly, I won't be long" he said giving her a chaste kiss "Get some rest, I love you"
"I love you too" Smokescreen pulled away and quickly kissed her once more before leaving the room, Phoenix looked around surveying her new surroundings. Groaning in pain she clutched her helm and dropped to her knees in a silent scream, her optics flashed between blue and red before settling on red.
