Yup! Please review but no flames!
Barricade sat on the Med Berth his hand over his spark, the tugging continued for a few more minutes before he cautiously responded, a wave of pure happiness shot through him. A small smile formed on his faceplates as the feelings kept bombarding him, eventually it slowed down as the bot sending them began to fall into recharge. The ex-Con smiled as the bond eventually calmed down every so often a quick flick of happiness shooting through, she was alive and now all he head to do was to find her and pray to Primus that she wasn't with the Decepticons.
"As soon as Prowl gets here I'm coming to find you" Cade whispered laying out on the berth keeping his hand over his spark
Prowl stared at the two humans in front of him, both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were literally rolling around on the floor clutching their sides in pain as they laughed. Jazz chuckled shaking his head and looking at Sam,
"What does he mean by gay?" Prowl asked through his bond with Jazz, the silver mech smiled and rubbed Rythm's helm when she chirped
"He means when two bots or humans of the same gender love each other"
"I don't see what's wrong with that technically we don't have genders anyway" Prowl replied looking at Jazz who chuckled once more
"Some humans don't think that it's right but don't worry about it anyway Prowler" the black and white mech nodded before turning to Sam and Mikeala
"So are you?" Sam repeated recieving a slap from Mikeala, Satelyte and Rythm both giggled at the human female. Mikeala in turn smiled at the two little femmes, Rythm flicked her doorwings growling when a bit of sand got in between her armour.
"In a way you could think that Sam" Jazz started taking his optics away from Prowl who was gently picking grains of sand out of Rythm's armour "But you have to remember Cybertronians are different to humans technically we don't have genders like you do" just as Jazz finished Optimus walked into the rec room and stared at Sunstreaker and Sideswipe as they tried to stop laughing "Hey Prime" Prowl looked up
"Hello sir" Optimus tore his gaze away from the twins shaking his head as he did so
"Hello Jazz, Prowl, Skyfire" the larger flyer looked up and smiled
"Sorry Prime I didn't see you come in" he stated, Satelyte stood up carefully watching out for Sam and Mikeala when she saw Optimus she smiled her wings flicking
"Hey!" she chirped, Optimus chuckled and smiled at her. Mikeala walked over to Rythm and smiled when the black and white femme chirped and gently poked her.
"How's Elita doing Prime?" Jazz asked, Optimus looked at them all doing his best to keep any emotion hidden
"She's doing fine it was just low energy levels thank you Jazz. Prowl would you mind coming with me there's something important I would like to discuss with you, Bluestreak and Smokescreen are already waiting in my office for us" the black and white mech stood up from the table before walking over to Optimus and following him out of the rec room. Jazz watched Prowl and Optimus walk away before turning his attention back to Skyfire, Satelyte and Rythm.
"Well I better go and wash the sand off Rythm" Jazz said picking said femme up, "See you guys later"
"Bye!" Satelyte said waving at Rythm who chirped and waved back at her, Skyfire smiled before turning to Sam and Mikeala
"Um would you mind putting us on the floor big guy?" Sam asked once again recieving a slap on the head from his girlfriend "Seriously is this beat up Sam day?" he said throwing his arms in the air,
"Nah Sam that's everyday!" Sideswipe said from where he was standing, Sam glared daggers at the frontliner as Skyfire gently placed the two of them down on the floor
"Actually Sideswipe" Mikeala started after waving goodbye to Skyfire and Satelyte "I think today would be turn the twins into Ratchet for that last unsolved prank day" she said walking past them, the two mechs stared after her horror on their faceplates. Sam chuckled darkly before jogging after his girlfriend "Before you even asl we all know I would"
Optimus and Prowl walked out of the rec room and across the tarmack, Prowl's doorwings were pointing back as he walked
"Sir if I may ask what is it you wanted to speak with me about?" Optimus looked down at his second
"It's about your twin" Prime noticed immediately that Prowl's doorwings twitched and seemed to stiffen, "There's no need to worry Prowl, I have spoken with Ratchet and Barricade and I understand why you've kept it a secret"
"Thank you Optimus" Prime smiled before deciding to change the subject
"I'm surprised that you are up this early it's only just gone 6am" Prowl chuckled and shook his head
"It tends to happen when you have a sparkling who hates recharging and insists on getting Jazz and I up when she gets up" Optimus laughed at the thought of the two mechs being woken by their daughter "Unfortunately it was Jazz's idea to take her out to the beach before sunrise which meant there was no chance of going back to recharge" Optimus continued laughing "Not to be rude or anything sir but I hope you'll find out one day what it's like being woken up before dawn" Prime inwardly chuckled if only Prowl knew just how true his sentance was
"I understand your pain Galloway has woken me up several times for slagging meetings" a small chuckle escaped Prowl's lips "You think that's funny Prowl he tried getting Ironhide up before dawn at one point" this time Prowl's chuckle became a louder laugh
"I'm surprised you weren't peeling him off of the floor"
"We would have been but unfortunately Galloway ran into my quarters followed by Hide" Prowl looked up at Optimus disbelief in his optics
"How did he get into your quarters sir?" Optimus simply chuckled
"I have no idea but it hasn't happen since Red Alert decided to upgrade the security in my quarters" the two bots continued to chuckle as the walked, once at the hanger Optimus opened the door allowing Prowl inside. The black and white mech walked in and smiled when he saw his two brothers sat together talking, Bluestreak looked up and grinned at Prowl who simply smiled at him and walked over. The three brothers went into silence as Optimus walked in and smiled at them "I spoke to Barricade earlier this morning about his future and we came to the agreement that Barricade will be staying here"
"You mean Cade's becoming an Autobot?" Bluestreak asked a grin on his face, Optimus chuckled and looked at the sniper
"No Bluestreak"the younger mech's doorwings visibly lowered and the grin faltered "Barricade is going to stay here but he will remain a neutral" Bluestreak's grin came back, Optimus chuckled at his enthusiasm while both Prowl and Smokescreen were simply smiling. "We have also come to the agreement that until the others are comfortable with Barricade being on the base that when he is out of his quarters one of you three or Jazz will need to be around him"
"He really agreed to being watched?" Smokescreen asked not believing that their tough as nuts brother would willingly accept being watched by anyone let alone his brothers.
"Yes he has Smokescreen, I just wanted to check with you that you would be willing to watch him"
"Of course we'll be willing" Bluestreak quickly stated before Prowl could answer, the two older mechs chuckled but smiled at him all the same "Come on you both know we're not gonna let Cade sit in the Med Bay with Hatchet and there's no chance I'm gonna let Hide get hold of him" Prowl chuckled and looked at Optimus who simply smiled
"I suppose you are right Blue, I don't really like the idea of leaving my twin in Ironhide's grasp" Optimus chuckled once more
"Well then that's sorted, one of you needs to go down to the Med Bay and get Barricade. I've already sorted out his quarters they are in the hanger next to yours Prowl" the black and white mech frowned before looking at Optimus again
"Sir isn't that the same hanger were Bumblebee and Arcee are?" it was a known fact among the officers that the two younger bots were in a relationship and even though they had their own quarters they usually shared.
"Yes Prowl it is the same hanger, considering it is the smaller of all of them and that there is spare quarters there it is probably best for Barricade to stay there." Smokescreen and Bluestreak sat thinking about what they had been told, Prowl nodded before looking at his brothers the shared a look before the two of them stood up
"Permission to leave sir?" Smokescreen asked
"Permission granted" Optimus replied with a nod both Prime and Prowl watched as the two of them left the office "Don't worry Prowl" The Autobot commander turned to his SIC "I will speak with Bumblebee and Arcee but I am sure they will have no problems with Barricade"
"It's not that I'm worried Bee and Arcee won't want Barricade there or that they'll hurt him it's just the Decepticons are going to have put a bounty on his head, while I was their prisoner I learnt what they do with traitors Optimus. They torture them kill everything important to them and then kill them slowly and painfully" Optimus sat back in his chair and listened as Prowl continued "I know what it feels like to be on the recieving end of their torture, I don't want Barricade to go through the pain I went through" Prowl finished talking and looked at Prime's desk, Optimus looked at his SIC and frowned
"Prowl if you ever want to talk about what you went through I'm always here to listen and you know Jazz will listen to you" Prowl nodded
"Sir I don't want to be a risk to anyone, Barricade wouldn't have been harmed if it wasn't for me, all I want to know is that you will be able to protect him and everyone else from whatever the Decepticons try. It's not that I don't have faith in you because I do but you weren't there when Shockwave and Megatron tortured me, they threatened to kill any Autobot who tried to stop the pain" Prowl looked up at his commander "I just want to know that if they ever capture me again that you will leave me with them I don't want to see anyone else harmed because of me" Optimus sighed not sure what to say
"Prowl you know I can't make a promise like that" Prowl locked optics with Prime and for the first time since they had returned the black and white mech to the base Optimus was able to clearly see the pain in his optics.
"Prime you don't know what they said to me, I don't want any harm to come to any of you because of me. If the Decepticons want me dead then just leave me with them, when Soundwave came to me he knew I had sparked, he knew that the sparkling was a femme. They threatened to hurt her in some of the most disgusting and vile ways imaginable in the same cell as me so I would see what they were doing" Optimus continued to listen as Prowl spoke "Megatron said he would do the same to Jazz and any of you who tried to help"
"Prowl listen to me" Prime leant forward "While you are on this base and amongst family and friends you will be safe, I will ensure that you are not captured again as will Jazz. You are safe here Prowl, Megatron and Shockwave say a lot of things but we can stop them. Red Alert has improved our security to ensure everyone's safety they will not be able to get within 100 miles of here" Prowl stood up Optimus following suit, Prime moved around his desk and placed a hand on his shoulder "If you ever want to talk Prowl you know where I am" the black and white mech nodded
"Thank you sir" his voice was quiet as he left Prime's office, Optimus sighed before sitting back down and rubbing his hand over his optics. He opened a comm with Ratchet
"Prime to Ratchet"
"Ratchet here is everything alright Optimus?"
"I'm fine it's Prowl I'm worried about I want you to keep an optic on him, he just spoke to me about some of the things the Decepticons did and said to him, it's disturbing" Ratchet paused for a moment before replying
"Will do Ratchet out" Optimus shut off his comm before standing up and making his way to the Med Bay, when he walked in he saw Elita was still sat on the berth and was talking to Ratchet. The two bots looked over at him, Elita smiled as he walked over to them
"Hey" she said standing up taking his hand "Are you ok?" he looked down at her and smiled softly
"I'm fine Elita I'm just thinking about something Prowl said to me" she nodded deciding not to take it any further, Optimus looked over at Ratchet
"Bluestreak and Smokescreen are in with Barricade I haven't seen Prowl" the medic stated, Elita looked between the two of them
"I'm going to go back to our quarters and let the two of you sort this out" she said walking towards the door, Optimus placed a hand on her shoulder the pink femme turned and looked at him
"I'll be along soon promise" Elita nodded with a smile before walking out of the Med Bay, Prime turned to Ratchet
"Optimus what did Prowl say to you in there?" Optimus sighed before replying
"He told me that the Decepticons threatened to harm Rythm and Jazz in the most disgusting ways possible, his words not mine. He also told me that he's worried about the safety of everyone while he is here on base, as well as being concerned for Barricade's safety" Ratchet frowned and leant against a console as he listened "He's not telling me the whole story though I know it, he needs to have someone to talk to Ratchet it's eating away at him" Ratchet nodded in agreement
"Mm I sensed something was bothering him when he was in here, we could have Smokescreen talk to him"
"No it would only cause Smokescreen to worry and I doubt Prowl will be willing to tell his brother about what he went through" the hummer sighed knowing Prime was right
"Do you think he would tell Jazz?" Optimus paused mulling the thought over
"He might do, Jazz won't let Prowl dwell on any thoughts especially if it affects their relationship"
Prowl walked into his quarters and smiled when he heard Jazz in their washracks, one benefit of being Second in Command was that you had your own washracks. Walking into the room he chuckled when he saw Jazz trying to wash Rythm in the sink, she giggled and kicked water in Jazz's face
"Rythm" Jazz said chuckling "I'm trying to wash you please stay still" she chirped at him before splashing again, Prowl smiled and walked further into the room Rythm saw him and immediately tried to get out of the water and over to him "Hey come on baby stay in the sink please"
"Need some help Jazz?" Prowl asked walking up next to his mate and gently holding Rythm by her middle, she looked up at him and stayed still in the water
"How do you do that Prowler?" Jazz said looking at his mate, Prowl smiled
"Skill" he replied, Jazz laughed before turning back to Rythm and gently cleaning her doorwings, she shut her optics and leant into his touch
"Looks like she likes having her doorwings rubbed as much as you do Prowl" the silver mech said washing the sand out from in between her armour, Prowl smiled moving around to the side keeping his hands around Rythm's middle. Jazz continued to wash their daughter, every so often she would giggle and splash them both. When Jazz finally finished washing her Prowl let go of her waist and picked up a towel from the floor, Rythm turned in the water and looked at Prowl. She looked back at Jazz who grinned and nodded she turned back to Prowl before kicking a large amount of water onto Prowl, he jumped and turned around, Rythm giggled and clapped her hands while Jazz laughed.
"You think that was funny do you?" Prowl asked a small grin appearing on his face
"Yep" Jazz replied sharing a similar grin, Rythm shivered as the water cooled down. "I'll pick her up if you wrap the towel round her" Jazz said lifting Rythm up under her arms she chirped and watched as the water dripped off her legs, Prowl smiled gently wrapping the towel around her small body before taking her in his arms. Jazz smiled as he watched Prowl hold Rythm she smiled at him before snuggling further into the blanket, the small smile on Prowl's face was enough to make Jazz take a photo of the image.
"Did you just take a photo?" Prowl asked looking up smiling at Jazz pushing the thoughts of his time with the Decepticons to the back of his CPU. Jazz simply grinned at him
"Course I did Prowler couldn't pass up the opportunity of you holdin Rythm" Jazz grinned and stood up when Prowl did, they both walked out of the wash racks. Prowl walked over to their berth and sat down before gently drying Rythm while Prowl did so Jazz leant against the wall and watched. "Prowler what's bothering you?"
"Nothing is bothering me Jazz" Prowl replied not paying attention
"Prowler don't lie to me please" Jazz said walking over raising his visor, Prowl stopped drying Rythm and looked at his mate
"Jazz nothing is bothering me" the black and white mech insisted turning back to Rythm she looked up at him and chirped placing a hand on his chassis
"Prowl even Rythm knows that you're lying, we can both see it" Jazz sat down next to Prowl and looked at his mate's optics
"It's just memories Jazz"
"You going to tell me what the memories are of?" Rythm chirped and yawned before cuddling against Prowl's chassis, he gently rubbed her back in between her doorwings. Jazz sighed before wrapping an arm around Prowl "Please Prowler tell me what the memories are"
"Let me put Rythm on her berth and then I'll tell you" Jazz moved and watched as his mate stood up walked to the other side of the room and gently placed their daughter down, she yawned again and chirped at Prowl as he covered her with a blanket before she fell into recharge. Prowl stayed where he was watching Rythm, Jazz sighed before standing up and going over to him
"Prowler" he said wrapping his arms around the black and white mech "Please Prowler tell me what's bothering you" Jazz looked at Prowl who was still looking at their daughter "Please Prowl please tell me what's on your processor" Jazz pleaded holding onto his mate the black and white mech sighed relaxing in Jazz's arms "You going to tell me?"
"It's just memories of when I was with the Decepticons, things I don't want to remember" Prowl's voice was quiet
"I know you don't want to remember Prowler but It'll help I you talk to me" Jazz traced circles on Prowl's lower back in an attempt to get him to talk
"Jazz...I can't tell you..." the silver mech took his mate's arm and gently pulled him away from Rythm's berth, the two mechs stopped at their berth immediately Jazz wrapped his arms around Prowl.
"Prowler please tell me your my sparkmate I love you, I want to help you" Prowl shook his head even as Jazz continued to rub circles on his back "Please love tell me"
"Jazz..."Prowl muttered putting his head on Jazz's shoulder "I'm tired, trust me Jazz I'll tell you when I'm ready" Jazz sighed and nodded, "Thank you" Prowl said quietly a soft smile on his face before he laid on the berth, the silver mech followed him and wrapped his arms around his mate "I love you Jazz" his voice was quiet as he slipped into recharge, Jazz looked at his mate and sighed before gently stroking his faceplates
"Oh Prowler why won't you tell me what's bothering you" he pressed a kiss to Prowl's helm before allowing himself to go into a recharge of his own
