"What has she told you about the rest of her kind." Rung asked as he closed the door and sat in his chair. Optimus took a seat on the couch.
"I know there's Celestial and the twins. I know that while she can hear their thoughts easily, they cannot hear her's unless she is giving a direct order. She has told me quite a lot about her brethren; I'm sure you can understand." Optimus said, shifting in his seat.
"So I'm correct in assuming that she has told you what her role is?" Optimus nodded in response. "Could you elaborate? The way she explained it was a bit… hard to understand." Optimus was silent for a moment, thinking of an explanation.
"What you have to understand Rung, is that her kind is like an anti-virus system and with every anti-virus system, there has to be someone who needs to pull the strings. That someone is Acentia. Take Galvatron for example. If I were to be unable to defeat him, or were killed trying to do so, they would come in and take care of it under Acentia's orders."
"Ah." Rung said, writing. "Ok, that makes a bit more sense… You said that her brethren can't hear her unless she was giving a direct order. Why is that? Why is she basically cloaked from her own kind?." Optimus was silent but his expression was grave.
"She has not elaborated on that particular subject." Rung looked at Optimus suspiciously, sensing that he was hiding something.
"Is there something… more powerful than Acentia and her brethren?" Rung asked. Optimus didn't answer. He had been looking at the door ever since the subject of Acenia's cloak was brought up. But then, he looked Rung dead in the eyes and said.
"Let us hope not." and at that, Optimus got up and left the room. Rung sat in silence for a moment after Optimus left. Could there really be someone worse than Galvatron at this point?
"What did he ask?" Acentia asked. She and Optimus were walking back to the house.
"He inquired about what your part to play in this universe is." Acentia looked over at Optimus.
"And what did you tell him?"
"Only what information you already gave him... He also inquired about your... cloaking necessity." Optimus said.
"Ah... He does not need to know about that." Optimus simply nodded and stroked his chin plate. "What?" Acentia asked while she opened the door to the house and both of them walked into the foyer.
"You know, after all those years… I thought I would never see you again. And now, with with Galvatron still at large..." Acentia stopped in the foyer and turned back to Optimus.
"I can handle myself." Acenita said blatantly.
"I know... just… be careful." Acentia gave him a warm smile and a nod of her head.
"I will."
"I'm concerned that Galvatron is planning something that will separate us again." Acentia and Optimus stood in the foyer for a few moments before either of them spoke again.
"I am to." Acentia said, breaking the silence. "Oh, so you know how i've been reading up on all of the history i've missed since I left?" Optimus nodded and the two continued walking to the family room. "I found something rather… disturbing, before we had that meeting." Optimus looked at her inquisitively. "Your time on Earth was riddled, time and time again, with you willing to give your own life to save the humans. You made that choice so easily and… when I read about all of the times you did it… Did you ever stop to consider the fact that if you had become one with the allspark on Earth, that there would be no chance of you seeing me again? Did you ever think about the fact that if you had died on Earth…" Acentia stopped talking when she noticed Optimus looking at her intensely.
"Everyday I thought of you; from the day you left Cybertron, to the day you returned to me. Throughout my time at the academy, the war, my time on Earth. Speaking honestly, by the time I had reached Earth I had all but given up the thought of ever seeing you again. It had been so long… You said you would be back in a few millennia. That time quickly grew to almost a million years. When I was on Earth, it was easier to give my own life because I couldn't bear the thought of another day without you. But every time I would come close to death, something deep in my spark pulled me back. It was as if Primus himself was telling me you were still alive, somewhere." Optimus paused and caressed Acentia's cheek. "But don't you ever think for one second that I didn't care Acentia." Acentia grabbed Optimus's hand and smiled.
"I was foolish to even think that was a possibility." Knock knock. The two looked at the door. "Are we expecting company?" Optimus shook his head slowly, eyes fixed on the door. He had gotten very tense in the last three seconds. Knock knock The knocks were more demanding this time. Optimus looked over at Acentia cautiously. Acentia nodded to him and Optimus nodded back. Optimus walked up to the door, imputed the code to open the door, and the door opened.
** I hate putting out so few chapters in a week but until I can figure out a new schedule for myself I'll probably continue putting out one chapter a week. I know, the suspense is going to kill you. I have two reasons why I left it at a cliffhanger. One, suspense. Two, idk myself tbh. XD I have a few characters in mind buut I really have no fraggin clue. I also changed the name from 'Acentia Prime' to 'The Future We Share' because it was supposed to be a biography when I started writing it but it slowly turned into an actual story and I had just recently come up with a new name for it and the new name suits it a lot better... and it's more creative imo.**
