Sire and Ward Part One
As I said I haven't given up on When Fate Meets Destiny but the muse for it went on vacation and the writer's block kicked in. I do like where this story is going, I thought I should include Red Alert since he is the security chief and we all know he is paranoid but I thought the introduction between Hannah and Red be a bit awkward. I am going to have Hannah spend some one on one with yours truly.
Hannah's POV
Red Alert still gives me an odd look, 'why is looking at like that' I asked Ironhide through our bond 'he's paranoid. He has never has to deal with Autobots, especially Optimus having a different species as a ward before. Give him time and he will do the same' Ironhide replied but I guess maybe we do have more in common, after all I am shy around new people and Autobots I am introduced to. "Hannah, Optimus would like to see you in his office, no you're not in trouble youngling" Hound said as I approached the big mech. "Here, let me take you there" Hound said as he held out his hand to carry me to the large commander of the Autobots'. I always did like the Autobots carrying me around in their servos or huge hands.
When the two of us got into the office of Optimus Prime, "please come right in Hound and Hannah" Optimus greeted the two of us. "Hound, Ironhide does need your assistance with new weapons and Hannah I thought it was high time I spent some of my time with you." Optimus said as he got down to my eye level as Hound took his leave. When I glanced at a camera I looked back at the Autobot who I consider 'main guardian' "why is there a camera in your office Optimus? I don't recall seeing that here" I asked him. "Red Alert must have installed it" was his reply. I do memorize details and so far I have been known to memorize details'.
"Does Red Alert trust me?" I asked Optimus as he stood up from his massive desk chair, it was designed with his gigantic height and weight into mind. "I am going to talk to him, in fact we both are, come" he said as he held out his hand to carry me over to Red Alert's new office and I am going to bet that he does have cameras' everywhere and monitors to watch everything and everyone. "Ironhide told me to give him time Optimus and mentioned his paranoia" I said to the giant mech. "Hannah he needs to know that you are not a hazard, he tends to be like that around new comers like you" Optimus said as we walked or he walked, I was in his hand.
Optimus' POV
I thought it was high time I took Hannah for the day; most of my own Autobots' have spent plenty of time with Hannah, although she does like to be around Ratchet, Ironhide, the femmes', Hound and the others' who do take their part seriously to ensure Hannah was safe and happy as any youngling should be. "Why is there a camera in your office" Hannah asked after Hound set her down on my office, 'Red Alert' I thought as I picked up Hannah to go have a word with the security officer. Hannah then told me what Ironhide had said but I was not going to tolerate him being this way to our ward, 'you are a good little youngling Hannah and I don't know who gave Red Alert authorization to put cameras' in your room and mine' I said to her through our bond.
"Optimus, is First Aid really Ratchet's assistant" Hannah asked, "yes, he will want to observe how Ratchet cares for you, and if it is another vaccine please don't make Ratchet get everyone to look for you please" I replied to Hannah. I did have Flare-up explain that she is the fifth sister to Elita-one, Firestar, Arcee and Chromia, although Bluestreak did take a liking to Hannah right away "I think she is a cute youngling, I think it is great that her late creators asked us to care for her as our ward. I can't wait to look after her, Prowl already has." Bluestreak said as he followed the two of us to Red Alert's office "why are you going to Red's office" Bluestreak asked, "he put cameras' in Optimus' office and Lennox told him that there was a camera in my room too" Hannah replied to Bluestreak.
The way Hannah replied to the question shows that she has been making such an improvement but the issue was the camera found in her room, 'Bluestreak will watch you at some point but we need to have a word with a certain Autobot that put cameras' in places where he shouldn't' I said through our bond. I know Hannah can sense my disgust over the security officer's actions, actions I did not approve of. "Hannah, you have earned our trust, and you do not deserve to be spied on because we have worked hard to earn your trust as well" I said, "Optimus, I know you, you cared when I lost my parents and I view you as a father" Hannah replied to me.
Red Alert's POV
I do not like the idea of my own watching over a human youngling and having made treaties with them, I glanced at the camera monitor to watch that youngling, when she saw the camera and I could read what she was saying. 'That human femme is onto me, she saw the camera and the 'human commander' saw the camera in that femme's room' I thought and I learned that Optimus was angry over the actions. 'I don't know if I can trust that little thing' I thought to myself. When I heard a knock at my door "Red Alert this is Optimus Prime, I need to have a word with you" the commander's voice came through the door of my office.
I had no choice but to let him in, and when I glanced at his large servo's he had that tiny creature in one hand and it was close to his spark. "Red Alert we need to talk, and yes Hannah is going to want to listen about why there was a camera in her living space" Optimus said in a disapproving voice. "Were you spying on our Autobot ward?" Optimus asked in a more stern tone, I could tell he was really displeased with the camera. "Optimus" said the small femme "Hannah, we can sense you with our bonds, my bond along with the senior Autobots can sense how you are feeling and this bond can detect where you are." He said to the little being.
Optimus then glanced at me and asked in a stern tone to me "did I give you authorization to put cameras' in our human allies' rooms' and our ward's?" "No, sir" I replied, then I looked the little femme into the eyes, the eyes looked at me with mistrust.
Hannah's POV
I began to mistrust Red Alert, how long was that camera in my room, 'what did I do to make him not trust me?' I thought to myself as I was glancing at the red and grey Autobot, I know he is the security officer but I don't think he had any right at all whatsoever to spy one me or my own kind. At least Optimus gave him a stern talk over the matter, "Red Alert remove the cameras' and I don't ever want to find out about this again. This treatment to any of our allies' and Hannah Audrey will not be tolerated, do you understand?" Optimus told Red Alert in a stern manner. "I am sorry Optimus" Red Alert said, "You need to apologize to Hannah" Optimus said as the mistrustful Autobot gave me one look, "I am sorry for this Hannah, I had no right to make you feel invaded" the security officer said.
After that the two of us walked out, "I am sorry you felt invaded Hannah, Red Alert had no idea right to spy on you. I know you must feel like we invaded you but Hannah I will ensure this never happens again" Optimus said as we walked down the hallway. "Optimus, why did he have to do that, what did I do to make him mistrust me or any of my own kind for" I asked Optimus. "Red Alert is like that Hannah, but he will have to report to Prowl for discipline for his actions for having these but I ordered him to remove the cameras'". Optimus said as we continued our walk.
'I loved the way Optimus talked, his voice was strong, gentle and responsible just the way my late father was' I thought but I knew Optimus would read my thoughts, just how the others' are with me knowing they would ensure I wouldn't be taken again. "I have to be Hannah, you late creators' entrusted me and my Autobots' to care for you when you were only four. Most of all met you when you were only four, we could only see and interact with you when you were the same age little one. We could sense how different you were. You were such a good little sparkling and understood you had a hard start when being around others, especially other younglings." Optimus said as we went out to the beach.
We continued to walk, well Optimus continued to walk since I was in his hands, we could hear Prowl tell Red Alert off, "you are to spend two Earth weeks in the bring for your actions, the extra week is on the behalf of our ward, Hannah Priscilla Audrey." Prowl said in a SIC tone. 'Boy he's in trouble' was my thought, "yes he is Hannah and if any Autobot does any actions such as Red Alert's will not be tolerated. 'Let us continue our time little one' Optimus said and we continued our walk.
