25. Spark

"Why did you assemble us here, Ratchet?" Optimus asked the smirking medic.

Ractchet looked at the bots gathered and his smirk grew. "I had thought I'd seen everything, but that one youngling keeps making the impoosible happen, and he has done it again."

"What did Rad do this time?" Ironhide asked as they all knew who the medic was talking about.

"Nothin' much." A voice none of them thought they'd hear again said. "'Cept revive me."

"Jazz!" Bumblebee exclaimed using his own voice. "You're alive!"

Jazz smirked as he held Frost and Rad in his hands. "Sure am."

"But how?" Optimus questioned and Ratchet nodded at Rad.

"Apparently Rad used a piece of the Allspark shard and revived Jazz with it." he explained.

Once the shock had worn off, Rad recieved new looks of respect and awe. He felt slightly flustered and his natural fear of being stared at kicked in. "It was nothing, instinct really." he murmured.

Jazz though saved him from anymore embarrassment by speaking. "Optimus, I'd like to be the guardian of Rad and Frost."

"Request granted, if Rad allows it." Optimus said knowing how independent and temperamental Rad seemed.

Rad's face turned thougtful. "I don't mind you being Frost's more than my guardian."

"I'll do it." Jazz said. ""Now lets head to your crib."

"My what?" Rad repeated. "Oh, my home. Well, I don't know about a home, but I have a camp." he paused. "could you watch Frost? I have to speak with Ratchet about something."

Jazz nodded and placed Rad on the floor. "Sure thing, Rad." he then left with clicking at Frost, who happily clicked back.

"Will that be all, Ratchet?" Optimus asked the CMO.

Ratchet's smirk made Rad almost uneasy. "Rad claims to have met Primus."

Rad actually did start fidgeting under the suddenly intent three pairs of blue optics. "Thanks alot." he hissed at the medic, who's smirk merely widened.

"You've actually met Primus?" Ironhide asked in disbelief. "Why you and not one of us?"

"I asked that very same question; he said it was because his creation did not choose any of you, but it choose me." Rad said, and saw them exchange looks. "What is it?"

They appeared to be in silent conversation before Optimus spoke. "Rad, this is very important; have you been feeling different recently?"

Rad furrowed his brow at the question, but answered nonetheless. "I've been sesing you all to the point were I can actually tell you apart by you...unique personalities." he replied. "And at Hoover Damn I heard a voice speaking in my head telling me what Frost was. And when Bumblebee starting humming as he placed his hand on the Allspark I felt the energy coming off it and washing over me. And just before I heard that same voice saying 'spark' over and over, becoming more pesistent until I found the Allspark fragment." he explained and saw them again exchanging glances and he grew aggravated. "Listen, if you something to say, just say it."

There was a pause before Ratchet did just that. "You have a spark."

Rad stared at him in complete disbelief before his chest gave a painful pulse and he saw nothing but black.
