Here we go! Another one! I'm working on my old computer and some of the keys don't work. So if there are errors, please forgive and I'll fix them when I get back to my apartment to reload it.

I also wanted to explain something that I didn't make clear but meant too. The ages that are given are their human equivalents. Sixteen equals to about a hundred and sixteen. I have no idea if I explained that well and if there are questions, please ask! I'm more than happy to try and explain it better.

Starlight View:

Lately I couldn't take my optics off of Bumblebee's door wings. Sure, I've always been interested in them and found them really cool but now…something was different. Every move they made caught my eye, even ones that were so small I doubted Bee even knew he was making them. I secretly wondered how sensitive they were but never voiced them to Bee.

Right now, Bee and I were in combat training with Hot Shot. He was in charge of the class today because Jazz had to do a bunch of meetings. It was rumored that Jazz was also about to become the third in command.

"Alright, pair up! We're going to be doing sparring exercises today." Hot Shot called from the front of the training room. Bee and I choose each other, as usual, and waited for the rest to pair up.

"Oh great, the twins are paired together…" Bee elbowed me, getting me to look over to them. They were two pairs down, but everyone could already hear them trash talking each other. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were relatively new to the team and already had a reputation for being pranksters and getting into huge fights with each other.

"Hope Hottie is up for them." I whispered back. "If they really get into it again, we're in big trouble."

"Alright, this exercise is made to practice taking down your opponent. You are to pin you partner to the ground for five nano clicks and let go right after." Hot Shot was walking up and down the lines as he gave his speech. We'd all heard it before, take your partner down without hurting them and then let them take you down. Bee and I squared up and waited for him to give the signal. "Begin!"

Bee and I charged each other and locked hands. We were about equal in strength and neither of us wanted to go down first.

"Come on Star, you know you can't hold out as long as I can." Bee smirked and pushed forward. I didn't give.

"Please, when was the last time I went down first." I pushed back, forcing him to take a small step back. If I had wanted too, I could have released my right hand and punched him, but this wasn't that kind of exercise. We released each other and circled each other for a few nano clicks before Bee charged, shoving his shoulder into my abdomen. Somehow I stayed up and grabbed his waist, flipping him and pinned him on his back. He didn't stop fighting and grabbed my left arm, causing me to fall and enabling him to pin me face down. To and to insult, he took the same arm and pinned it to my back, twisting it just a bit to cause a small tingle of pain to run up my shoulder.

"You were saying?" Bee teased. I growled and looked up at him. "Oh come on, don't be like that." I rolled my optics and tried to escape before the five nano clicks were up and he officially won. I noticed one of his legs was out a little far and kicked my leg out, foot colliding with his knee. He went down, releasing me and allowed me to flip up and pin him face down.

"Any last words?" I smirked, putting my knee in-between his door wings and twisted his right arm behind him. Bee struggled a bit and tried to get back up. I got caught up in watching his door wings flutter in anger that I didn't even realize that my free hand had reached up and touched the joint connecting it to his shoulder. I noticed he stopped moving and held completely still the moment I touched it.

"What are you…?" He was interrupted when the twins came crashing by. I quickly let him got but it was too late. Sunny and pushed Sides down, the red twins leg coming up, knocking me down and on my back right on top of Bee's back. I heard a pained yelp but couldn't figure out if it was from the twins or not. I quickly got up and leaned down to help Bee.

"Everyone stop! Bumblebee, don't move!" Hot Shot ran towards us. "Sunstreaker and Sideswipe outside!" He yelled, sending the twins out to the hall for a moment. They knew they were in trouble if they got our mild mannered Hot Shot to yell at them. "Bee, are you alright?" His older brother knelt down to his level.

"My door wing…" he tried to move his left one but it wouldn't. His right one meanwhile twitched rapidly as if it too was in pain. "I-I think it's jammed."

"Ok, come on." Hot Shot helped him up. "Starlight, take him to the med bay." I nodded. "Aright everyone, five click brake then back to it!" Hot Shot called to the class as we left.

Bee was walking a little funny as we made our way to the med bay. It was if he was off balance, but all that was wrong was one of his wings wasn't working right.

"Bee, you ok?" I asked as I had to grab his arm to keep him from running into the wall.

"Yeah, fine." He was being short with me.

"I'm sorry…" I let him go. He sighed, stopping for a click and looked at me.

"It's not your fault. I'm…just in a lot of pain." He walked forward a bit and I got a better view of his door wings. His left one was bent upwards, right at the joint and was sparking a bit when he tried to move it. His right one was still fluttering sporadically, but had slowed down just a bit from earlier.

"Is there anything I can do?" I asked, approaching him again and reaching out to touch it but stopped myself.

"No, not really. It's just stuck in an upward position. Nothing too bad, just painful." He gave me a pained smile as we got to the bay. "Go on, I'll be fine." He nodded his head to go back, but I had other plans.

I stopped in front of Prowl's office when I heard the voice of the bot I was looking for. Sounded like he got out of meetings early and decided to visit the SIC. I swallowed hard, not really sure if I wanted to ask my questions in front of Prowl as well but decided to just go for it and knocked.

"Enter." Prowl called out. I walked in and Jazz flashed me a smile from where he was sitting a top of Prowl's desk.

"Heya Sta'!" The visored mech hopped down. "What cha here fo?"

"I…was actually wondering if I could ask you something." I was nervous, seeing as Prowl was there. My question was about door wings and I really didn't want the SIC to hear it. Then again, he himself had them so maybe he could help.

"Shoot." Jazz crossed his arms and leaned against the desk.

"Must you do this here?" Prowl sighed. I hadn't really had much of a chance to interact with the other black and white mech but was aware of how he didn't like getting into other bots business.

"Oh come on. It can't be that bad." Jazz shrugged. "Let it out Sta'."

I fidgeted a bit under their gazes. Prowl picked up on this and raised an optic ridge. I also noticed his door wings twitch in slight annoyance.

"Um…ok. Well…"I took a deep breath and just let it out. "It's…um…just how sensitive are door wings?" I said as fast as I could. Prowl's own wings shot up in surprise and the look he gave me was priceless. Jazz just chuckled.

"Why ya wanna know that?" Jazz was trying to keep from laughing.

"Well…during practice I accidently landed on Bee and one of his wings got bent. He said it hurt him but it didn't look that bad." Jazz hummed in thought and Prowl put his head in his hands.

"Door wings are extremely sensitive. They can detect movement and slight differences in air pressures. The slightest touch can cause pain. If Bumblebee's wing was bent it would cause him extreme pain." Prowl lifted his head as he spoke. That would explain why I had a hard time sneaking up on Bee. "They should not be messed with."

"Oh come on Prowler, ya know dat's not entirely true." Jazz smiled. "Yeah, they are sensitive but not all touch hurts them. Soft touches can cause pleasure an' relive tension if done right." I watched Prowl's face plates turn a soft red. "If ya want, ya could offer ta help Bee relieve the tension that he'll have even afta Ratchet fixes him up."

"Jazz…" Prowl growled. "Don't suggest such things to younglings." I crossed my arms at that comment. Sure, I was younger than him, but I wasn't going to do any harm to my friend, nor do…that.

"Woh, I didn' mean in dat way!" Jazz put his hands up in a non threatening way. "I meant it as a way to help a friend." He looked back at me a flashed a knowing smile. I felt my face plates heat up.

"Uh…well…thanks for the help." I felt a mounting tension between Jazz and Prowl and wanted to get out before they fought.

"No prob Sta'! If ya have any mo' questions just come ask." Jazz waved as I left. As soon as the door shut, I heard Prowl make a comment on how he couldn't believe Jazz was now the TIC.

While making my way back home, I ran into the twins. They really weren't bad mechs, but they were a bit…unorthodox in their ways.

"Hey! Starlight right?" Sunstreaker walked up to me. The moment he got within a few feet of me, his attitude changed. "How are you?" he leaned against the wall and looked me up and down. His optics dimmed a bit as he did.

Frag this heat cycle… I mentally sighed and took a step back. "I'm fine. You two owe Bee an apology."

"Right, sorry about that." Sideswipe came forward. I knew I was in big trouble when he started acting like his brother. "So, you seeing anyone?" He leaned on the opposite wall of Sunny, blocking my path home.

"What?" I took a step back. Both of them moved forward a bit. Slag it all, I'm trapped. My only option was to go back but that only lead back to Prowl's office. "Look, I just want to go home ok?"

"We can take you home." The yellow twin had a wolfish grin. "Come on." He held his hand out for me to take. I knew they were under the "spell" of my scent and wasn't sure what they would do if I went with them.

"No, that's ok. I have to make a stop by the med bay any way." Both filched at the mention of it. I wasn't really going that way, but they didn't like Ratchet and the feeling was mutual with the medic. "If you could…um…" I motioned for them to move. Both hung their heads and Sides stepped behind his brother to let me pass. I felt their optics staring at my back side but choose to ignore it. Thank Primus they didn't like our chief medical officer.

Luck was on my side for once and I found Bumblebee down the next hall way, leaning against the wall as if he was waiting for someone.

"Hey Bee!" I called to him. He looked up and smiled. "What are you doing?" This hall was mostly empty offices. I only came this way because it was the fastest way home.

"Hey, just waiting for Hot Shot. He wants to make sure I'm ok." He rolled his optics. "He's so over protective…"

"He just worries." I shrugged. I knew first hand what it was like to be over protected. "How is you wing by the way?"

"Fine. Ratchet wasn't pleased, of course, but it's all better." To prove a point, he turned and fluttered them for me.

"Right." I smiled. "Oh, before…when we were in the meeting room, what did you want to say?" I was reminded since we were near by said room.

"Oh…um…" he suddenly got nervous. "I wanted to say…ow!" he flinched when his left wing twitched. He reached back and tried to rub it.

"Here." I made him turn and gently rubbed the joint. "Is this where it hurts?" I watched as he relaxed a bit under my touch.

"Yeah…thanks." He let me continue until the wing stopped twitching and slouched down to match the other. "I love you…" He said it so quietly I almost didn't hear it.

"Huh?" He tensed up, his wings shooting up and he whirled around in embarrassment.

"I-I mean…I loved that! Thank you!" His face plates were a deep red.

"Bee, stop." I laughed. "What did you say?" I just wanted to hear him say it again. And maybe I wanted to watch him squirm a bit as well.

"I-I…um…" I couldn't resist the look on his face and leaned in to kiss his cheek. This stopped him from fidgeting and look at me.

"I…love you too…" I knew my face was just as red as his. He leaned in towards me but before our lip components touched, Hot Shot came around the corner.

"There you are!" We quickly pulled back and I thought I was going to glitch out. "What are you doing here Star?" He looked between us and gave Bee a knowing look. "Need some more alone time?"

"No!" Both of us cried. Hot Shot laughed at us.

"I knew you two would get together. Come on, let's get home. Star, you can follow us if you want." He motioned for us to follow him. Bee and I were too embarrassed to really talk so we just continued in silence.

We were half way across the court yard when the sirens went off. We all moved towards the nearest building to hear the debriefing over the coms but were stopped when something landed right in front of us.

"Target located." The silver and purple mech smirked while he held a finger up to his temple. Not a nano second later, something else landed behind us.

"Good job, Skywarp. Let's grab her and go." A red and silver mech hissed.

"Understood, Starscream." The one named Skywarp started to come at us. "Come here, femme."

The three of us formed our guns. "Bumblebee, cover Star." Hot Shot commanded. "I've got Starscream." He took off and took on the red seeker.

The purple seeker made a grab for me. I easily avoided him and slashed his chest plating. The mech growled and made another attempt but Bee shot at his left leg. The seeker was forced to back off. He transformed and flew above us, shooting at us and forcing us to take cover.

"Bee, you go to the left and distract him. I'll take the right and take him out." I said quietly. He nodded and we quickly took action. There was a hiccup in our plan. More 'Cons had showed up and were aware of where I was. We were in deep slag.

"Decepticons, get the femme and let's go!" I couldn't figure out which seeker was talking.

"Get down!" A familiar voice called out and a shot rang out, hitting one of the airborne bots. My Sire got in front of me. "Get to the main building!" He called as a seeker dived down low, allowing my Sire to jump on him, stabbing him and taking him out of the air.

I didn't want to back down. I was tired of everyone having to protect me and I wanted to prove I didn't need it. I turned back and made to find Bee.

I was able to find him easily, now pinned by a different con. I shot the con off of him and got Bee back on his feet.

"You ok?" I gave him a quick once over and deemed him ok.

"I'm fine, but why are you still here? Shouldn't you be…" I silenced him by putting my hand up.

"I'm not running away while my friends are out here fighting! Come on, let's drive them back." I put my battle mask down and took off.

It wasn't long until we did have them driven back, but just as we thought we won, I was grabbed.

"Star!" Bumblebee called out just before the con grabbed me and took off. I tried to get him to let go but to no avail.

"Quit squirming!" Starscream got a better hold of me and continued on.

Bumblebee's View:

It happened so fast, one nano sec she was next to me, the next a 'Con had her and was flying off with her. Without a second though, I transformed and took off after them. I was determined to get her back.

"Bumblebee, get back here!" My brother yelled at me over the com link.

"No! Starlight has been captured! I'm in pursuit!" The line was silent for a click.

"Do not engage! Keep them in sight. We're on our way!" Hot Shot called back.

It was at least a joor before the seeker stopped, dropping Star from a considerable height. The landing was hard, and I was surprised she was still able to get up. I transformed and hid behind a large rock, keeping watch and making sure she was ok.

"What do you want?!" Star yelled as the seeker landed near her. I wondered why she wasn't fighting back until I saw the stasis cuffs. Slagger had her completely under his control.

"Be quiet!" I heard metal colliding with metal and turned to see Star was down again. "We're waiting for Megatron. He wants to check to see if we have the right one." Starlight gave him a dirty look but remained quiet. I wanted to go to her. I wanted to help but if I did, my cover would be blown and we could both be taken out. Starscream wasn't out here alone and the other seekers weren't far behind.

"Why does Megatron want me?" I looked back again to see Star had moved back away from the 'Con and was trying to get the cuffs off.

"I told you to be quiet!" He lifted his hand but was stopped short by a deep voice yelling.

"STARSCREAM! What did I say about laying a hand on her!?" A dark form landed just feet from me and started towards them.

"My lord…" The seeker's demeanor changed completely and backed away from Starlight. "I was only trying…"

"No more talk from you." The silver mech who I assumed was Megatron himself, grabbed the green and blue femme by her arm, puling her up to his level. "Well, looks like you didn't fail me this time." He sneered, setting Star down, uncharacteristically gentle. "Welcome, little one."

"W-who are you?" She was visibly shaking in fear.

"You don't know?" Megatron acted like he was hurt. "My, you're Sire never told you about me?"

"Megatron…" She whispered.

"That's right." He "lovingly" caressed her cheek. "Oh how I longed to meet you. You look a lot like my brother." Both of us were shocked by this.

"W-what?" Star stepped back.

"You are my little niece. Didn't you know this?" Before Starlight could answer, I heard another bot pull up. I thought for a moment it was Hot Shot but sadly it wasn't.

"Lord Megatron, we have a spy." A very robotic voice stated.

"Where?" The Con leader asked. The bot must have pointed towards me, because the next thing I know Starscream is behind me and threw me out into the open. "Good work Soundwave."

"Let her go." I growled as I got up, aiming my guns at Megatron.

"You've got guts little one." The 'Con let her go and came towards me. He hit my gun away and grabbed me by the throat.

"To bad that is what is gonna get you killed." Starscrem sneered.

"No. We won't kill him. We shall let him go back to his base." The way he said it made a cold feeling shoot down my back strut. I felt a burning sensation on my throat and tried to cry out but not sound would come out. It hurt even more with every sound I tried to make. After a while he seemed to get bored and threw me to the ground.

"Bumblebee!" I heard Star call out.

"Do what you please to him but do not allow him to go offline."

My vision was blurred from the pain, but I watched in horror as Megatron took off with Starlight and the 'Cons that were left behind circled me.

Optimus Prime's View:

We were too far behind and I feared what was going to happen. The moment I heard they had Starlight, my spark dropped. Every time I tried to reach out to her through our bond, all I got back was nothing but fear. It was like she couldn't even hear me trying to comfort her.

"Sir, over there!" Prowl called and transformed. I transformed as well and followed him. Hot Shot ran past me, worried that it could be his brother. How I wished I had been the one to get there first.

"Bee!" I heard the anguish is the other yellow bots voice. When I got to him, I saw why Hot Shot was so upset. "Bee, please say something!"

The younger bot was mangled, almost unrecognizable. His wings were bend, the right one nearly pulled off, his legs were busted in multiple places. There was no way he could walk. He had a few bullet holes that were bleeding energon but none seemed to have hit anything vital. His left optic was black, not working and it looked like they had done something to his throat. He was coughing up energon and whining in pain.

"Bumblebee…" I knelt down next to Hot Shot. "Primus, what have they done…" Bee seemed to know we were there and was trying to speak. "Don't try to say anything."

"By Primus!" Ratchet finally made it. "Don't move him! I need to see if he's ok for transport." But Bee had other ideas. He struggled against the medic and continued to try to talk. "Hold still youngling. The more you move the worst you'll make your injuries."

Bumblebee's View:

The first one to arrive was my brother. I could barely see it was him but I heard his voice and felt the pull on my spark. I responded through our bond, telling him I was online and needed help. Optimus was next and I tried to tell him what happened. It hurt lit pit to talk. Something was wrong with my vocalizer. I tried to move but everything felt as if it were on fire.

I heard Ratchet yell but couldn't make out what he said. I was starting to fade in and out of conciseness. They were talking about moving me and I struggled.

No! Starlight is still out there! I screamed. I knew it was all in my head but I tried to convey this to my brother through our bond. Please, we have to go after them!

"Please stop struggling Bee." I heard Hot Shot. He was close to me now, holding me against his chassis. "I can hear you. I know you want to go after Starlight and we will. I promise. We first need to figure out where she was taken. Please, let Ratchet help you." The desperation in his voice made me calm down a bit. I knew he was right, I had no idea where they went and I was right there!

I don't know what happened after that. Ratchet said something about a sedative and I was out.

Please r&r! PM me with questions if you want. There is a small chance there will be a new chapter tomorrow!
