Seems Someone had it out for the brothers. What will happen between Mikaela and Sideswipe now?
"The attack was successful, I take it?"
"Sideswipe was heavily damaged, the human within him sustained heavy damage as well,"
"That doesn't answer my question. Without one twin, the other will not function, did you kill Sideswipe?"
"Not as far as I know," Dead End lowered his head in embarrassment.
"I see, so you failed me!" Starscream glared, "Failure is not an option!"
"I – I'm sorry Starscream! I had to get out of there before the heat got too bad. Sunstreaker had already taken on Barricade-"
"Speaking of that," Starscream interrupted and turned his head looking for the shock trooper, finding him missing, "Where is that piece of slag?"
"He's in repairs, sir, Sunstreaker did a number on him," Dead End supplied.
"See that those two are taken out of commission. Take the rest of the team with you if you must. Isolate them and desecrate them!"
"But Starscream-"
"How many times must I tell you that it's Lord Starscream to you?"
"Lord Starscream, the twins are like taking on the full Autobot force themselves!"
"I don't care what it takes," Starscream snarled, his hand balling into an angered fist, "first we take the twins then the Autobots will fall,"
"S-sir, if I may?" Dead End looked at Starscream questioningly.
"Yes?"
"The girl, I think her name is Mikaela. She is a big issue with Sideswipe. I think that if we capture her, the twins will bend to our will,"
"Not Sunstreaker, I know him well, but you have a very good point," Starscream turned his head to look at Thundercracker, "Go get that fleshling Mikaela. No harm is to come to her, do you understand?"
Thundercracker nodded slowly as he pushed off the wall he had been leaning, "Do you know where she is?"
"Do I look like I know?" Starscream asked with a snarky attitude.
"By the injuries she had sustained, it would be assumed she was brought to a local hospital," Dead End offered.
Starscream nodded to Dead End, "Very well, Dead End, you start your search at the hospitals until you find her," the Commander growled, "If you must, take Runabout and Runamuck with you,"
"Yes, Lord Starscream," Dead End nodded as he contacted the other Stunticons through their private communications link.
"Report to me when you have found her and I will send Thundercracker to retrieve her,"
A few days later, it was time to wake Mikaela from her drug induced coma. Much to the chagrin of the doctors, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe demanded to be there at her waking. They both stood off to the side of where the humans worked, watching diligently. The doctor who had been caring for her entered with a syringe. Both of the twins saw the needle as he approached her IV tubing, "This should be pretty quick," He pressed the needle into the foam and administered the medicine, "and now, we wait," he said as he put the needle in the designated box made specifically for them.
About 4 minutes passed by and Mikaela's eyes started to flutter. Sideswipe stepped closer, a large smile on his face as he watched her come to. Sunstreaker continued to lean on the far wall, arms folded across his chest.
"Mikaela?" Sideswipe whispered as her eyes still fluttered.
Mikaela. I know that name.
Her eyes opened halfway and she looked at the ceiling, then to her side, seeing doctors and nurses. She assessed what was going on by the look of the IV and the room. She was in the hospital. How had she gotten here?
"Mikaela, how are you feeling?" the doctor asked, hoping she was cognitive as he hoped she was. She didn't answer him but continued to look around. Two men that were apparently not part of the doctors and nurses watched her. She squinted but didn't say anything at first.
"Mikaela!" Sideswipe couldn't hold back his excitement. He leaned forward and she watched him curiously, wondering what he was going to do. When he didn't approach any more, she looked back towards the doctors, "What happened?" She asked slowly.
"You were in an auto accident," one of the nurses supplied.
She breathed slowly, thinking on it. She didn't remember it.
Sideswipe was nearly busting out of his holo-matter seams. He couldn't believe she was ok. She watched the nurses and doctors start to leave the room when they found she would be alright.
Sunstreaker pushed himself off of the wall and approached, still standing behind Sideswipe, "It was pretty bad, got you out of there in one piece."
"Ar – are you a doctor?" She asked him. Sunstreaker gave her a blank look, "Mika, it's me,"
She looked back at Sideswipe, "You're a doctor too? Why aren't you in scrubs?"
Sideswipe felt the worst dread he could overcome his spark, and he suddenly frowned, "Mika, it's me, Sideswipe."
"Side… Sideswipe?" She asked, wracking her brain, coming up with a complete blank, "That's a strange nick name,"
"That's not a nickname, don't you remember, Mika?" He asked her, his face twisting into a mournful grimace, dread already filling his spark. Ratchet had warned about complications.
"No," she said simply, eying the one behind Sideswipe. Sideswipe turned to look at his brother, "Get the doc bot,"
Sunstreaker nodded, opening a connection with Ratchet, "Hey… Something is wrong with Mika," he said.
"Like what, Sunstreaker?"
"Like She doesn't remember us." Was his only answer.
"Slag," ratchet responded, "Tell the doctor there, I will be there shortly," And the line went dead.
Sideswipe still couldn't accept what was happening, "Mika, come on, how can you forget the twins of terror?"
"I don't know any twins," She seemed to be getting irritated, "Why are you in my room?"
"Mika, I'm your friend," Sideswipe answered, "Would be spark mate if you'd have me,"
"Spark… mate? What are you talking about?" she asked with confusion written all over her face, "What's a Sparkmate?"
Sunstreaker reached for his brother's arm, "Come on, we need to get the doctor," his voice hinted the need to leave.
"Tell me you at least remember the Autobots," Sideswipe pleaded.
"Autowho?"
Sideswipe's face took on a look of horror. No! This couldn't be!
"Sideswipe, let's go!" Sunstreaker pulled but Sideswipe yanked his arm free violently.
"You… you really don't know, do you?" He asked as his spark sank.
"Really, I don't. Now if neither of you are hospital personnel, I ask that you kindly remove yourselves from my room,"
Anguish took on the red twin's face, "Please, Mika, you gotta remember something!"
"I remember high school," she stated simply.
Her eyes took on a more dangerous look, "Whoever you are, I want you to leave,"
"But," Sideswipe went to plead, but her finger went up threatening to call security, "I said out," she pointed weakly towards the door.
"Let's go now, bro!" Sunstreaker pulled Sideswipe hard, yanking the red twin from the side of Mikaela's bed nearly pulling him onto his ass, "We don't want to scare her," He continued to pull until Sideswipe caught himself on his feet and picked himself up and followed, walking very slowly, "Sunny," He pleaded gently, his head hung low. Sunstreaker could feel the torrent of emotions flooding through his brother's spark and it pained him. He frowned at Sideswipe, "Stop calling me that. Come on,"
"But Sunny,"
"Not right now," Sunstreaker rebuked as he continued to pull his distraught brother until they were out of sight and Sideswipe fizzled out of existence, leaving Sunstreaker to talk to the doctors.
"Hello, yeah," Sunstreaker walked up to the nurses' station, "Mikaela is having a little trouble remembering us, is there something wrong with her brain functions?"
The doctor who had been standing there spoke up, "I will check into it." He said as he went through a file, "She may have sustained a bout of amnesia. Considering where the brain damage was sustained, it's not surprising."
"She doesn't remember either of us at all!"
"Listen, kid, right now, the best thing to do is leave her be,"
Had he just called him kid? The nerve! Sunstreaker stormed toward the door where he fizzled out of existence before he exited, knowing he had a hurt brother to contend with.
