Optimus and Venus Part One

Optimus' POV

"Venus" I said gently tapping her on her shoulder plate, "Optimus" she asked as she opened her optics "Venus, we need to have one on one lessons as future Prime." Optimus said as I got out of her berth "Optimus" Elita called "Elita, she needs to have some lessons with me, she is a Prime as well and my successor for leading the Autobot's" I said to her because Elita needs to learn to let her grow up on her own. "Alright Optimus and Venus I am sorry for the way I acted. I need to let you grow up and Smokescreen was right about being over protective." Elita said and Venus replied, "After Smoke told me about the attack and I know why Megatron would want me." She replied.

"Let's go Venus," I said to my young one. I went with him and when we set foot outside the base she felt on edge, "Optimus, why are we going out here" Venus asked me. "Venus I need to show you someone" I replied to make my youngling calm. "Stay close to me" I said very gently to her as we began to walk to the path to Primus and then onto Vector Sigma so I can show her the path all Primes take.

Venus stayed by my side knowing not to stray off since she can't fight back against a Decepticon but I was with her and I vowed since the cycle I found her to keep her safe from harm. "Optimus where are we going" Venus asked me "Venus, we are going to see Primus and sweet spark I had to go with my adopted sire too to see him because he has told me who and what you used to be." She looked at me wondering what I was going to do. "Venus we have all known and why our creator gave you a new life, even though you have long forgotten that life." I said gently to her. I have known about her previous life and I have given her something she always desired, a parent's love.

Venus' POV

I was stunned when Optimus told me he and the others have known all along but none of them were angry, I could only think Primus wanted me to be Optimus' child. Maybe I should feel better because they had known and Optimus knew I was reborn as a sparkling so I didn't know Primus would take his attention to an unloved human child. "You, Elita and everyone else knew," I asked in a timid tone of voice "Venus it was not difficult to learn about this." Optimus said as he got down to my optic level "Primus knew I would need one to take my place in the future because after Sentinel off lined I feared I was the last Prime. I had this in my mind until we found you and you wanted me to raise you as if you were my own and Elita's young one." Optimus said to me.

I realized Primus only wanted to ensure there will be more Primes and I knew he created me into one when I was reborn. "Venus we care and love you no matter what. You are a Prime now and you need to be with me because I am the only one who can teach you on what it means to be a Prime." Optimus said as we began to take a dark passage. It was dark and when I was human, I was scared of the dark "I am right here Venus" Optimus said very calmly.

It seemed like cycles when we got there and I had my chance to see Primus again and I wonder what he was going to say to Optimus and me. "Optimus, why did Primus make me a Prime and how many femmes were Primes in the past," I asked the mech I referred to as sire. "Venus, one of the thirteen originals was a femme but femmes are rarely born with this power. I used to tell you those when you were a tiny little sparkling and you do have a slight resemblance to Solus Prime herself." He said to answer my questions.

Flashback: Sparkling Venus

Optimus' POV

"Venus, time to recharge little one" I cooed to her as she tried to get out of my servos "now little one I can see your optics shuttering when she was about to fall into recharge. "Optimus are you going to tell her about Solus Prime," asked Elita as she came out of her cleaning. "Yes Elita, Venus is a soon to be Prime and she needs to know now she isn't the only femme Prime." I said as I put our small one in her berth. "Venus, Solus Prime was the weapon smith of the thirteen and she was known to create from metal to items of power," I said and when I was about to tell her about the other Primes she fell into recharge, dreaming as we call it in sparkling behavior.

Elita and I smiled as our little one recharged and Elita covered her thermo blanket closer to her neck and we continued to watch as the little one dreamed.

Flashback Ends

Venus' POV

I remember that story of Solus Prime but if we are going to see the original thirteen Primes as well, I wonder if I would meet Solus herself. I could only stay close to Optimus as we made our journey to the core and speak with Primus himself. "Venus, I am uncertain we will see the original thirteen themselves but we shall see" Optimus said pulling me out of my thoughts.
