(Sunnys POV)
Narrowing my dimmed optics, I glanced around the corner, then gestured for Sides to go ahead. He nodded and silently skated around the corner, leaving me to follow just as silently, watching both our backs as I expertly skated backwards. We both stopped as we heard heavy pedefalls nearing us, making us quickly scale up the walls, crouched in the rafters as Skywarp and Thundercracker passed by quietly. I met Sides optics, us both radiating confusion, then we both dropped down when they were off our radars. Sides shrugged then skated the way they came from, leaving me to roll my eyes and follow him silently, us both watching carefully for Cons.
: What do you think is wrong with them? : Sides commed me, glancing around a corner then going down that hallway.
: Starscream is dead remember? I may not know much about their trine bond, but I know that they were very close. : I whispered through the link, looking into every room and hallway we passed warily.
: True, I never really thought that Cons would have a soft side, I thought they were all about being emotionless and unmerciful. : Sides whispered back, gesturing for me to halt as we flattened ourselves against the wall, us both watching as a random Con walked by.
: Tell anyone I said this and ill rip your vioce modulator out, but Nitro used to be a Con, yet now hes a great Autobot. : I retored with a threatening undertone, following Sides as we both approached Shockwaves old lab, looking around cautiously more often now.
: Ehh, he doesnt count, Abigial wrapped him around her little finger. : Sides said teasingly, glancing at me with a smirk before quietly entering the empty lab, watching as I followed with narrowed eyes.
: Shutup, im just saying that they have the ability to be like us, just as we have the ability to be like them. : I growled through the link, still irritated at the thought of Nitro courting Abigail, then glanced around quickly before walking up to a desk full of datapads.
: Wow, that was really deep Sunny, I think I might actually cry. : Sides snickered, ducking as I swung at him blindly while reading through the datapads, putting the important and useful ones in subspace. My twin joined me and soon we were done, out subspace ull to the brim with the datapads we collected, making me feel full in a wierd way.
: Luckily we only brought our blades and a plasma gun or else we wouldnt have been able to bring all the datapads. : I spoke through the comm link, glancing at the door as a blip appeared on our radar, then nodding at Sideswipe and followed him out of the room. He glanced around, the darted to the left, skating quickly as I skated right behind him. Seeing another blip just ahead of us, we skidded to a stop then practically ran up the wall, crouching in the rafters once again. I narrowed my optics and growled silently, seeing that the blip was Abigails capturer, my body tensing angrily as he passed under us. Sides servo on my shoulderplates steadied me, making me glance at him as he shook his head with solemn optics, then jumped down with me as soon as the mech was out of sight.
: Youll get the chance brother, believe me, the time will come that you can exact your revenge...if Abigail doesnt beat you to it anyways. : Sides said with a quiet chuckle through the link, then started skating again down the hallways, turning corners and keeping a sharp optic our for Cons. I was silent, trying to balance thinking of the ways to exact revenge and focusing on getting the hell out of dodge, when I saw another blip on my radar.
: Slow down Sides, Con around the corner, in the rafters we go. : I whispered quickly across the comm, disappearing into the shadows as I yet again crouched in the rafters, my brother following quickly. As we saw Thundercracker walk down the hallway, both of us were as silent as the dead, we watched him disppear around a corner before dropping down again and picking up our pace. Bringing my predator protocols to the forefront of my mind, I watched closely as my twin did the same, our movements becoming more fluid and our senses becoming sharper. We sped up, nearly as silent as the dead as we streaked around corners, too fast to appear on enemy scanners even if we werent cloaked.
: This way quickly, exit ahead at 3 o'clock, enemy guarding exit. : Sides whispered, skating around the corner and quickly slicing through the Cons throat cables, exiting with me after I put the mech in stasis.
(Abigails POV)
I sighed as Nitro and Sally once again started arguing. Leaning my head back, I growled under my breath in irritation, looking to my side to see Bee watching them with wide eyes. Smiling I walked out the back door stealthily, approaching Bees alt form and slowly sitting on his hood, smiling when he barely shuddered in surprise. Hes getting better I thought as his holoform appeared in front of me suddenly, making me quirk an eyebrow in response, then smile as his look turned innocent.
"Hey Bee, how ya holding up being away from Sam and all that stuffs?" I said patting his hood gently, smiling sweetly as he took the hint and sat with me, looking at the ground and saddened thought.
"Its been ok, I know he has a life now that cant include me anymore, but weve been through too much for me to just drop our friendship so easily." Bee murmured, his alt visibly sinking in response to his depression, making me frown sadly as I wrapped him in my arms.
"All will be well little Bee, youll see. It all works out for us in the end, what wasnt meant to be wont be, and what is meant to be will be. Just be patient and youll find happiness one way or another." I whispered quietly, knowing he can hear me as he laid his head on me shoulder, sniffling very humanly. Holding him closer, I hummed in his ear a song my mom used to sing when I had nightmares, trying to calm him somewhat. It worked, granted I had a much better voice, but Bee finally stopped sniffling and just took a breath and cuddled closer to me.
"All better?" I whispered with a bright smile, squealing when Bee suddenly threw me over his shoulder, spinning in rapid circles with a laugh.
"Gotcha!" Bee yelled triumphently, bouncing me in place as well as he ran around the yard, grinning like a maniac with a fresh test experiment. Covering my mouth, my eyes widened as I tried to hold back my stomachs contents, wincing when I felt the acidic taste burn my throat.
"Um, Bee? I would put me down right now, unless you want my fleshy stomach contents all over you." I bit out through clenched teeth, squeaking when I got dropped to the ground almost immediately, looking up as Bee sheepishly smiled apologetically. I managed to smile back, then groaned and jumped up, running to the trash can and throwing up the mac & cheese we had for lunch.
"You ok little sister?" Bee said as he approached slowly, unsure as to what he should do at the moment, before decided to reach out and rub my back soothingly. Sighing deeply in comfort, I spit out whatever was in my mouth and smiled at Bee, making my way to the house quickly. Turning it on, i quickly rinsed out my mouth, scrunching my face in disgust at the awful taste.
"Ugh, nasty. Yeah, ill be fine Bee, just a little mishap." I said with a bright smile, turning to him and putting my hair in a ponytail, watching as he tilted his head as he watched me.
"Your guys' Earth customs still amaze me even though ive been here a while." Bee said quietly, smiling and watching closely as I braided my ponytail, making me grin and turn so he can see.
"Welcome to the club Bee, our customs have amazed me since that stork let me fall down the chimney." I giggled out, laughing loudly when his face scrunched up in confusion, his head tilted cutely in response.
"Im afraid youll have to restate that little sister, you lost me at the beginning." he said with a small laugh, making me shake my head in amusement, then patted his cheek lovingly.
"My customs always confuse me as well little Bee, always have, probably always will." I said with a wink, turning and watching as Nitro and Sally came out the backdoor, looking much happier then when I left them. They saw us and ran over, playfully pushing each other on the way, then looking sheepish when I raised an eyebrow at their antics.
"Sorry, we had a...little...disagreement." Sally said with an innocent smile while Nitro rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, both avoiding eye contact with me, turning to see Bee shoot me a tinysmirk.
"Thats the understatement of the century, anything else you got captain obvious?" I murmured, laughing as Sally and Nirtro both cried out indignantly, trying to prove their innocence. Bee shook his head and covered his ears, rolling his eyes as they started arguing again, then smiling brightly when I laughed at his own silent antics.
"Alright, alright, enough." I yelled, snickering as they looked at me, then continued what they were doing.
