Destiny kept her gaze on Optimus, she had just told him that she wanted to talk to him. Optimus kept his own gaze on his adopted daughter, she did look a bit nervous about something. He had a soft look and a smile under his facemask.
"Alright, what is it that you need to talk to me about?" He asked.
"Um... I think I need to tell you in private..." She stated, she bit her lower lip under the facemask. She was really nervous, how was she suppose to tell him that she found out that Scourge was her father? Optimus gave her a concerned look, she just felt nervous under his gaze.
"Destiny are you alright?" He asked, taking a few steps closer to her. He put his hands gently on her shoulders.
"Optimus... I... I..." She started, stumbling over her words. She ended looking downwards to his chest, she couldn't keep optic contact with him. She took a deep breath in and then said really quickly. "I know about Scourge being my father!"
"What?" Optimus sounded a bit surprised.
"I... I know Scourge...about him being my..." After she had said that much she bit her lower lip. She couldn't look back up to her adopted father's gaze, she wondered if he would be upset. She did remember that he had once told her to block out that voice until they together could find out who it was. Instead she heard a light chuckle from him, one hand lifting off her shoulder. She looked back up to him with a confused expression. He had his other hand to his chin, he was laughing.
"So you figured it out... I knew you would someday." He chuckled, looking back to the femme warrior. "So what is your viewpoint now that you know about your true father?"
"Well... That's easy. I'm staying... right beside you Optimus. I'm an Autobot til the end." She said, more relaxed. "No matter what I won't turn my back on you." With that she hugged him tightly. Now he was a bit taken back by her tight embrace but he hugged back.
"...Hey Optimus?" She asked.
"Hm?"
"You know I just realized something..." Optimus rested his chin on her head, listening to what she had to say.
"I don't know why but... I get the feeling Scourge doesn't want the Decepticons or the Predacons to realize that I'm his daughter. And I also noticed that the two of you look alike." Optimus couldn't help but chuckle, Destiny was starting to get very observant, another famous trait of her mother.
"Let me explain that... Back when Galvatron was still Megatron, we all found out about the ship that crashed here on Earth. Doctor Onishi discovered it actually and this was when Megatron still had him captured. After we found the ship, I immediately knew that it was a ship from Cybertron that crashed here. But I also let it slip that their were six statis pods that held the six Autobots inside, still dormant. We were to late as Megatron took the pods. And from there the Decepticons were created because Megatron injected his spark energy into the pods allowing the Decepticons to be awaked like that. But after Megatron grabbed the last pod before we could get to him, he discovered after Prowl warned us that the black tanker truck, which was driven by one of the humans was filled with rocket fuel. Megatron immediately decided that would be the vehicle for the last pod to scan. That truck nearly fell over, I had to keep it from exploding so I managed to hold it up. That's also when Megatron scanned it.. Not only did he scan the vehicle but me as well... That's how your father was created Destiny.. He led the Decepticons with me as his enemy. Let's just say that was probably an accident." Optimus explained. Destiny was surprised, so the Decepticons were only created because Galvatron had gotten a hold of them and injected his evil spark energy into them.
"The only thing I can say is awkward." Destiny stated, earning a laugh from the Autobot leader. "But... wait... If he looks like you and I like exactly like him meaning I look like you in the same way.. Maybe I can talk to him and see what he thinks of this... If he doesn't want his boss or comrades to find out then there's a way to help him out, I get the feeling I may be his ultimate weakness when it comes to Galvatron."
"...I think I understand what you're saying.. You want to take the pressure off Scourge, your true father and tell them that instead that you're my sparkling?"
"You got it. Besides... I still see you as my father in a way, Dad. I don't think I can call Scourge, Daddy anytime here soon. That's still too weird for me."
"Alright. But make sure you contact him and see if he agrees. I already know he wants to get to know you better Destiny. After all, the parent of any sparkling will get very defensive if their sparklings are threatened."
"I figured that, I mean he seriously always kept attacking me on the battlefield for some odd reason... and you know? I think I saw him once glare really darkly at Mega-Octane."
"It looks like he is already in the defensive stage. Anyways, if there is anything else you be sure to talk to me alright? I'm here to listen." He let his facemask slide back and he gave her a quick kiss on the head, getting her to laugh.
"You got it Dad.. I will." With that she released him and watched as he headed down a different hallway, to do a few more reports. Destiny sighed and punched her fist into her other hand.
"Alright.. Time to face my team!...With another all nighter... I really need to stop getting myself into trouble like this.." She giggled a little bit at what she scolded herself with. She felt better now that she had talked to Optimus about her discovery. She reached the hallway where her quarters and like she had expected, there was her team waiting for her. The twins were apparently staring her step brothers down and they were doing everything they could to avoid their gazes. She coughed lightly to get their attentions. The twins faces beamed when they spotted her. She got to her access pad and typed in her password, entering in the room before she got run over by the twins. She wasn't too surprised that the twins immediately sat down on her berth with a open gap between them just for her to sit between them. Faststreak plopped down in a chair after spinning it around so he could rest his chin on the back of it. Ironblast had a bit of problems at first but managed to sit down on the floor taking most of the floor space. Destiny let her door shut and made her way over to the berth where the twins pulled her there to sit inbetween them. She was used to having all optics on her now.
"Alright o great leader... Start talking. We can't wait to hear the entire story!" Jetstorm started, a smirk to his face.
"Oh yes, we're here ALL night with you whether you like it or not." Jetstreak also stated, the same expression as her twin brother. Destiny sighed and began her tale, she trusted her team very much so. They became like a family to her. It was about five earth hours before she finished her tale, her team was in awe and before she knew it she was hugged tightly by both twins.
"Destiny! You HAVE to take us with you when you go get training!" Said Jetstreak, smiling nuzzling one of her leaders antennas.
"EAH! Jetstreak that's really really sensitive!" Destiny stated trying to squirm out of the jet's grip which was very impossible.
"You have to take us! I want to learn from him too! Please?" Jetstorm stated, doing the same as his sister.
"GUYS THAT REALLY TICKLES!" Destiny stated still trying to get out of their grip. Before she knew it Ironblast and Faststreak were on the floor laughing.
"OKAY! You guys can come! Just... Stop doing that!" Destiny begged. She hated it when someone knew her antennas were sensitive.
"YES! Destiny we love you!" Both twins shouted with glee. They, at the same time, kissed Destiny on the cheeks. She twitched and that only made her brothers laugh even harder.
"You know... I will never figure out you two..." She said, looking to each twin. They just had wide grins on their faces. Then again they hugged her and this time she just stayed there and sighed. There was no way to avoid the twins, they had ways of getting where they wanted to.
"I don't think anyone can figure them out.." Ironblast perked in. Earning a very smug look from the twins, they really did know how to hide their ways. After that everyone laughed. Then everyone let out a yawn at the same time, making themselves laugh again.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to hit the recharge dream world!" Destiny stated, fighting back another yawn.
"I second that!" Ironblast agreed.
"Third!" Faststreak shouted.
"Alright let's go to get some recharge. We're still staying here Destiny since I think it will take a lot of doing to just Ironblast's fat aft out of the door." Jetstreak stated looking at Ironblast.
"Hey! I'm not that fat!" Ironblast countered.
"Bro you're kind of like a teddy bear to me." Destiny stated. Ironblast smiled at that, he loved it when Destiny and Faststreak commented him like that.
"Yep I agree there." Faststreak stated.
"Okay! For sleeping arrangements, who sleeps where?" Destiny looked around to all of them. They were silent in thought trying to figure out who sleeps where.
"Well in my opinion it would be rude to make Destiny and Jetstreak sleep on the floor." Ironblast commented.
"True there. It's not gentlemech like. Alright that settles it, Destiny and Jetstreak get the berth and the rest of us mechs get the floor." Jetstorm said, standing up off the berth.
"Don't worry I don't kick, Destiny." Jetstreak said with a giggle. Destiny was fine sharing with Jetstreak, that didn't bother her one bit. The two femmes watched as the mechs tried to get situated on the floor. Both had to look away to keep from laughing, the three of them were almost twisted around each other.
"OW! That was my hand!"
"Sorry! And keep your hands away from my aft!"
"I wasn't near your aft!"
"Yes you were!"
"OW!"
It was very hard not to laugh, hearing the conversation between the three mechs was just a riot. Finally after another few hours they managed to get comfortable. It wasn't even a minute later when the three mechs were out in recharge. Both femmes didn't fall to recharge yet, they were still chatting with each other quietly. Already laying down on the berth, both on their sides facing each other. Jetstreak got quiet staring at Destiny for a minute, that made her a little uncomfortable.
"Jetstreak?"
"Holy Primus..." Was all the jet said still staring at Destiny's figure.
"What?"
"I seriously didn't know your chassis was that big..." With that the jet burst into giggles at the surprised and embarrassed look on Destiny's face.
"Jetstreak!" She hissed quietly. "The guys are still in the room!"
"They're out cold. Pfft! No wonder I've seen both Mega-Octane and Armorhide stare at you like fragging predators. Honestly.. you didn't know that you do look like you could be in one of those bars back on Cybertron, wearing that one set of armor. Sexy~" Jetstreak looked thoughtful again.
"..I don't like that look.." Destiny watched the seeker beside her as she got a very mischievous look. "And what do you mean Armorhide?"
"You honestly didn't notice? I mean he stares at right at your aft.. Destiny, honestly I worry about your safety with mechs like the Decepticons." Jetstreak stated.
"Okay I knew Galvatron and Mega-Octane were after me but really? Armorhide?.. I really ticked him off back on Cybertron."
"It's better to be safe then sorry. All I know is that I remember him stare at you before I knocked him off his feet and Jetstorm pushed him down a hill... that was also before you got caught in that cavern he fired the shot, probably still mad cause my brother and I are better than him." Jetstreak held a smirk making Destiny giggle quietly.
"True. And don't worry about me, I can handle myself. Besides I highly doubt my father would allow Mega-Octane or Armorhide touch me.."
"Speaking of which.. You never really explained that. Who is your real father?"
"Promise not to freak out?"
"You got my word."
"My real father... happens to be Scourge..." Destiny watched the jet for a reaction, seeing that her optics were wide with surprise.
"Whoa! Whoa! WHOA! Scourge really? I'll honestly say I thought you were Optimus' daughter.. The two of you look alike.. But then again you do look like Scourge too. How awkward is that?" She stated.
"I know right? But apparently the other Decepticons don't know that fact. He's keeping a secret even from Galvatron. Let me tell you it was weird finding out that he was my real father."
"So what's your plan then? Now that you know..."
"..Are you seriously going to ask that?" Destiny giggled quietly again. "It doesn't matter who my real father is... I'm an Autobot to the end."
"Great to know. Although I would love to kick Armorhide's aft again at their base."
"Jetstreak!"
"Kidding. But I still would kick his sorry aft."
"I know you would." Destiny then turned to her back and looked to the ceiling, she couldn't help but smile. She had a team that cared about her and she cared about them. Jetstreak sighed and wrapped an arm around Destiny's waist and rested her head on her chest.
"..You honestly do have a large chassis, kind of like a pillow.."
"Jetstreak!"
"Kidding. But seriously you do, it's bigger than mine."
"Urgh..."
"It's a compliment."
"...Really? You're going to use me as a pillow?" Destiny looked to the seeker. She just grinned and offlined her optics. Destiny sighed, and looked back up at the ceiling. She felt more relaxed after telling everything, like a burden was lifted off her shoulders. She rested one of her hands on her stomach and the other one she put behind her head. The sounds she heard within the room were from the three mechs who were snoring quietly. Little by little she could feel her systems try to power down for a nice recharge. Before recharge over took her, Destiny heard the jet twin giggle quietly next to her.
"..Tomorrow is going to be really interesting." She heard her murmur.
"What do you mean?" Destiny said with a bit of a slur to her voicebox.
"Oh you'll see~ Have good dreams Destiny~" The jet twin said with a slight pur.
'I really didn't like the sound of that...' Destiny thought, really trying to fight off the heavy recharge that was trying to overtake her. She didn't want to know what the jet twin had planned for her. She also knew for sure that if the Jetstreak was going to pull something on her, so would Jetstorm. She would never be able to figure out twins like that. She prayed the femme jet twin would forget about it in the morning, it was highly unlikely but she could still wish it. Before she knew it, recharge had completely won and she was out. It had been a long time and finally morning was starting to appear. Destiny was recharging really well until she felt something trying to tamper with her armor. She onlined her optics, looked up and immediately met the optics of Jetstreak. She blinked a few times.
"Jetstreak... What are you doing?"
"Uhhhh... Good morning Destiny!" Jetstreak said, her hands still on Destiny's chest armor clasp. It took a bit for Destiny to finally realize that she was trying to get her out of her armor. She sat up quickly getting the jet twin to back away a few steps. Jetstorm was awake as well and standing close to the door, trying to look innocent. Finally Destiny realized what the jet was up to and she glared at her.
"Jetstreak... you were not honestly thinking of putting me into one of those pleasure bot suits now were you?" She kept her gaze locked on the femme seeker.
"Well... about that... I just wanted to see it on you! I mean come on it would be funny! Especially to see how all the mechs here react to it."
"That is a big fat no."
"..You know we don't take that as an answer right?" She got that light to her optics. Destiny scrambled off the berth quickly pressing herself to the wall next to it. The grin on the seekers face was enough to say run like the pit. This made her wonder why her two step-brothers were still in recharge. She inched away from the seeker as she kept inching closer to Destiny with her hands in front of her, wiggling her fingers.
"There is only one thing I have to say in this matter... Run like the pit!" With that Destiny scrambled away from the jet to have her barely miss her. She squeaked and had to carefully and quickly crawl over Ironblast, to which it woke him with a start. She almost stepped on Faststreak but was lucky that he rolled out of the way just in time. She had to dodge Jetstorm as he had made a grab for her trying to help out his sister without moving from the door. Then again she was next to Ironblast, with both twins looking pretty sly with wide grins on their faces. Destiny squeaked when Jetstreak jumped at her, to which she quickly dodged her but it didn't last long before the seeker femme tackled Destiny. The two seemed to wrestle for awhile, with Destiny constantly trying to keep the seeker femme hands away from her armor clasps. Despite their awkward positions, the others in the room weren't paying attention, the three mechs were arguing now. Jetstorm was doing what he could to keep Faststreak and Ironblast away from his sister so she could deal with Destiny. The only yelping and squeaking that was heard was from Destiny and Ironblast. Faststreak tackled Jetstorm and then the two of them were wrestling around, while Ironblast was completely lost on what to do. Then he went to help his sister, who was having a horrible time trying to keep Jetstreak from tearing off her armor. She was just lucky that she still had it on. Ironblast grabbed the seeker femme's shoulders trying to get her off Destiny, but then Jetstorm and Faststreak grappled right into the three causing a lot of yelps and squeaks. Outside the door, Prowl, X-Brawn, and Sideburn just happened to walk by hearing the crashing sounds and yelps inside the room. The three looked to one another with wide optics and confused expressions. Luckily Prowl knew all of the Autobots codes to their rooms, so he typed in Destiny's code and the door opened and the Autobot brothers were completely surprised and a little thrown off at what they saw. Destiny was flat on her back with Jetstorm laying across her stomach on his back with Faststreak sitting on Jetstreak whom was stuck between Ironblast and Destiny's sides. Ironblast was pressed into one of the berths legs upside down his face roughly pinned down by Faststreaks foot. The Autobot brothers were completely stunned, they didn't know what to think at the moment. The awkward silence was broken when X-Brawn started to snicker before it turned into loud laughter.
"Geez! Did you all try and start a giant wrestling match in here? I can't tell who would have won! The lot of you are tangled like a bunch of ropes." X-Brawn stated with a laugh.
"...Oh thanks for your concern..." Jetstreak muffled out the best she could from her current position. Destiny groaned, she wasn't sure if things were going to get worse for them, feeling very embarrassed at the moment. It only got worse as all three Autobot brothers started to laugh out loud. Destiny couldn't believe that even Sideburn was snickering, she felt her faceplate heat up but luckily she had her face hidden. She wasn't wearing her facemask.
"Do you need a hand getting out of that mess?" asked the constantly laughing Sideburn.
"No we'll be JUST fine." Destiny replied, still lucky to be hidding her blushing face.
"Really?" Sideburn asked.
"She was being sarcastic Sideburn. Let's give them a hand." Prowl stated, not laughing anymore. He walked over and pulled Faststreak to his feet first and managed to get his foot out Ironblast's face. He lightly pushed him over to X-Brawn so he could help get Ironblast up. Sideburn went over to where Destiny and Jetstorm were and helped Jetstorm to his feet before getting Destiny to hers. Once Jetstorm was up and now helping his sister to her feet, Sideburn gave a gentle helping hand to Destiny and lifted her to her feet. He took both of her hands, leading her away from Ironblast and Jetstreak as both Prowl and X-Brawn were helping the big bot up. They had to turn him around so it was taking a lot strength. Once Destiny was up, she gave a smile up to Sideburn, as he returned one. He glanced down and realized that he still had her hands, with a blush, he released her hands quickly. She gave him a confused and curious look before turning her attention to where Ironblast was. Faststreak was in the hallway, with a pout because he could no longer get into the room with so many other bots there. Prowl had to shoo the twins out so they could have a better chance of getting Ironblast turned around and the twins left grumbling. They stood out the door with folded arms and pouts on their faces as well. Destiny went over and helped X-Brawn with Ironblast. Now Prowl pushed Sideburn out the door with a lot of complaining coming from the youngest Autobot brother. Then the police bot returned and helped the other two get Ironblast turned around. It didn't take to long before he was standing up. Destiny pat him on the back and helped him get out the door, to which he grumbled about being to big. Once he was out, she walked out as well and gave him a gentle pat on the back. When she looked to the twins, they had a look that said they were up to something again. She pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing and closing her optic shutters. But what almost made Destiny groan with disbelief was that they were eyeing Sideburn, whom was backing away wearily looking at them. She was about to say something until the overhead system came on.
"Attention all Autobots, report to the command room immediately. Again all Autobots report to the command room!" They all heard T-AI's voice say broadcasted to every Autobot. The group wasted no time as they all headed to the command center. Destiny was curious to why everyone was being called. When the group arrived, not everyone was there.
"I know not everyone can be here but we can all get introduced later."
"Huh? 'Introduced'?" Sideburn asked looking rather confused.
"Yes, we just got a new arrival from Cybertron. She's still new all of this so she may need a few helping hands from all of us." Optimus calmly stated.
"Well sure. I'd be more than happy to help out. So where is she?" Destiny asked looking around the room for the recruit. The rest of her team was doing the same.
"She's right here behind me." Towline said, jabbing a thumb behind him. A small red and white femme, slowly emerged from behind Towline. She looked shy and didn't come out at first. From what Destiny could tell, she had a small white face with baby blue optics and few thin red lines seemed to outline the edge of her cheeks. She had a slim and slightly curvy figure with door wings sticking out from her back. On her helm were two very small horns but they weren't very noticable at first. At first Destiny thought she was adorable for her size and almost saw her as a shy youngling. But then out of the corner of her optic she noticed that the twins were oddly quiet and a little further back than the rest of them. Destiny gave them a quick glance, to which she noticed that they had their usual devious looks before returning her optics to the small femme.
"Her name is Raving Star and she arrived here over a few cycles ago. I've already went over battle protocall but she needs someone whose been in the battles to teach her the ropes. She needs someone who can be able to relate to her, someone around her age or close to it."
"I'd love to show her the ropes but I really can't. Believe it or not I'm busy with patrol and tariffic laws." Prowl stated.
"Same here I'm afraid." Towline said with a shrug.
"I wouldn't mind teaching her." X-Brawn said with a crossing of his arms. "And I know there is a few other bots here that would too. Can she have multiple teachers or is it too much?"
"Why not ask her?" Optimus glanced to the small femme, who had retreated just a little bit more behind Towline.
"...She might not talk to all of us at once." Destiny stated, glancing to Optimus. She sighed and took a few steps towards Towline and peaked around him to see Raving Star, the femme was still trying to hide herself from everyone.
"Alrighty then. Destiny you'll help her communicate with everyone. Just start little by little." X-Brawn said. Destiny glanced over her shoulder and nodded once at him before returning her attention to the femme, whom was looking at her shyly. Every Autobot was starting to clear out of the room except for Destiny, her team, Optimus, Towline and Raving Star. Optimus leaned against the control room panel, folding his arms. Towline and Destiny were trying to coax Raving Star out from behind the tow bot. Destiny's team was anxiously watching. Finally Destiny managed to get a bit closer to her and hold out her hands for the small femme. She shyly looked at them before looking back up to Destiny. Destiny just smiled and carefully took the other femme's hands managing to somewhat pull her out from hiding, the little femme's face was holding a growing blush. She avoided everyone's gaze, her hands still clasped by Destiny. She was still shorter than Destiny but the femme warrior couldn't help but smile, to her she was just cute like a little sister.
"Oh yes and Destiny?" Optimus perked up.
"Hm?"
"Do you mind if she stays with you? We need to set up another room and that may take some time but until then. She doesn't have anywhere else to room."
"Oh I don't mind. Of course she can stay with me." Destiny looked to the small femme who gazed back up at her. "Right?"
The small femme looked back down but gave two nods, then her team slowly made their way over as Towline left the room. The femme of course got closer to Destiny wanting to hide behind her.
"Alright! Let's go get you an alternate vehicle mode!" Destiny said, leading the femme over to the control panel. It took some time but the femme, without saying a word, chose a vehicle mode. A red sports car. Destiny knew that would get both Prowl and Sideburn going. Sideburn with his crazy obsession and Prowl with his rules and laws. After awhile, Destiny realized that she had to go meet up with Tiger Stripe but she couldn't leave the femme or her team.
"There's somewhere we have to be. Now let's head off... we got some work to do."
