Ratchet vented heavily as he ran a scan ounce again for Sideswipe's and Irina's life signal. He had been running constant scans ever since they had been confirmed missing. So far he had had no luck, much to the frustration of Sunstreaker and Adena. Ever since Adena had woken up in his med bay her health had seemed to be deteriorating at a slow but steady rate. Which according to her meant that Irina would be in an even worse state for her health reflected her twins. Sunstreaker was never far from the young femme and was also experiencing pain from his bond with Sides. It had been almost a week now and they still knew nothing. A sudden alert from the scanner caused his he;m to snap up as his optics focused on the screen. Sideswipe's life signal had finally showed up. It was very faint but it was there and with that fragile hope he alerted Optimus and the others knowing that the rescue team was ready to move out having been just waiting for the signal.

Sunstreaker POV
I laid on my berth twitching in pain, Adena was right beside me her eyes shut, but her face was twisted in pain. She was in her cybertonian form she always is when she's in my room, I ran my thumb down her cheek she shivered in repose. I smiled at her, but it soon fell Sideswipe pain washed over the bond again this one much stronger then the last.
I rolled over clutching my spark chamber in pure agonizing pain, I stiffened a grunt much quieter then the scream crawling its way to my vocalizes, another wave of pain came giving me no time too recover. My vents whined in protest as I gasped for air, my frame automatically curled into a fetal position, I whined.
A small servo was placed on my cheek, I looked up to see Adena cautiously looking over me, she stroked my cheek gently, and I I uncurled slowly the pain leaving my frame. I sighed my relief, Adena sighed too. When I opened my comm link too Ratchet, I wasn't expecting him too tell me they found Sideswipe.
I leaped of the comfort of my berth and onto the hard cold floor, Adena sat up and looked at me, "What's wrong?" she asked, tilting her head.
"Nothing but they found Sideswipe's signal, let's go." I ushered her to transformer back, I picked her up and set her on my shoulder before jogging lightly to the main hanger.
I could believe it after all this time and pain they finally find my brother, my twin, my other half, they found Sideswipe. And I only pray to Primus that he is in one piece, and with Irina.

Adena POV

I held myself stiffly as Sunstreaker finally slide into the main hanger before he gently picked me up off his shoulder and placed me carefully next to the plane. However instead of boarding with the other soldiers i stepped up to Optimus who ounce he noticed me knelt down so as he was more on my level. "How may I help you Adena?" Taking a deep breath i said in a rush "Optimus sir I'm requesting permission for yours and the Autobots protection Sir"

I watched in slight Amusement as his optic ridges furrowed in concern and confusion. "Why do you make this request Adena?" his deep baritone voice was now laced with concern. I hesitated before saying uncertainly "It's a long story Sir but if you will permit it I can tell you on the way to rescue Sideswipe and hopefully my twin as well." Prime was silent for several breems before he nodded ounce "You may accompany Me, Ratchet and Sunstreaker rather than riding with the NEST troops." Adena sagged slightly in relief knowing that deep in her gut that all hell was going to break lose ounce her and her twin's true heritage was revealed. An she was positive that ounce Sideswipe was rescued she would in some way be forced to tell them all the truth.
