Third Point of View

Ironhide slipped out of recharge and onlined his optics; he glanced over to where his charge fell into recharge last night. There was a problem though, Gabriel wasn't in her berth. This struck worry into Ironhide's spark. He knew she wouldn't wake up this early in the morning or move from her berth.

The iron giant placed his pedes on the concrete floor and risen his frame off the berth to investigate where she is. He had many thoughts running through his processor, one being she ran away because of how she was acting yesterday. Well, she was already acting different from the incident but yesterday was odd to him.

He scanned over the berth of his charge to see if anything could be hinted to give a clue to where she went. Her bag that she arrived at the base was missing with some of the clothes the two went to New York City too.

It couldn't be proven yet but with the evidence lying in front of him, she left the base. Ironhide does something out of character and begins to fret about the situation. His charge left without saying goodbye, in general, she left.

The Decepticons have been getting antsy lately and slowly moving towards the Autobot base. He was worried about if one the Cons got a hold of her. Anger poured into his spark at the thought of Con getting a hold of her. He would march straight into their base and kill each and every Con who dared lay a digit on his charge.

Ironhide quickly com linked the S.I.C and questioned to see if anyone has seen Gabriel. No one has. Next, he wanted Prowl to check the security cameras posted around the base to see if his prediction was correct.

Having Prowl check all the cameras were going to take some time so he goes to the next best thing, Sideswipe. He wanted to check if the master of pranks is playing a prank on him for hiding his charge. He would rather have this be the problem than having to hunt Gabriel down in the United States.

"Sides, where is Gabriel?" Ironhide questioned in a threatening tone of voice. Sideswipe turns around to face the angered Weapon Specialist with confusion taking over his goofy expression. His golden twin looked past the cherry red twin to gaze at Ironhide with more of a hidden worry expression.

Sunstreaker would never, ever say this out loud but the little fleshy did somehow worm her way into his spark.

"What do you mean?" Sideswipe questioned back with confusion lacing into his voice. Shouldn't Gabe be in her berth? He was also worried about her; she wasn't her normal playful, crazy personality anymore. He seethed at everyone at the base who dare blame the sparkling for something that wasn't her fault.

The 'answer' Sideswipe said back to Ironhide wasn't the one he wanted to hear. Or he might be playing his part of the prank well.

Ironhide took a threatening step towards the frontliner to intimidate him and a low growl sounded through his vocal cords. Sideswipe gave him a more confused expression and stepped back, away from the angered bot.

"Where. Is. Gabriel?" He spoke in a lower tone and emphasis every word he says. This time Sunstreaker butts in between the two to stop them.

"We haven't seen Gabriel," Sunstreaker answered. This also wasn't what Ironhide wanted to hear and lunged at the cherry bot in retaliation.

Sideswipe didn't have enough time to react from the sudden assault and was taken down to the ground by Ironhide. He defends himself from Ironhide as he didn't want to agitate the Weapon Specialist even more than he already is.

Sunstreaker carefully butts in between the two as he didn't want his paint to be scratch. He grabs Ironhides left arm before he brings it down on his red twin. Sideswipe is given enough time to roll himself out from underneath Ironhide and hold his right arm to pin him down to the ground.

"What has gotten into you 'Hide?" Sunstreaker questioned with a dangerous tone. Ironhide is still struggling beneath the two as the leader of the group with his T.I.C is swiftly moving towards the three.

They are able to calm down the pissed off Weapon Specialist and he angrily stomps his way away from the group. Still thinking about where his charge is.

Two Weeks Time Skip

After alerting everyone that one of the five orphans has gone missing, they have gone into a frenzy. Her considered siblings have also gone in a frenzy but much crazier.

Ruby has been snappier and cranky all the time. She stays up late at night with her guardian in search of finding her sister.

Kevin has been in a depression state and mostly staying with his guardian. Jazz even can't make him smile anymore and is following his charge down the rabbit hole.

Charlie has been trying to stay strong but you can't always keep a smile on your face, you can ask Jeff the Killer about that. Optimus is trying to keep his charge have but nothing is working and he is busy with help finding Gabriel.

Piper… the only thing to say is not doing well. Now this time it was her fault. She took it too far and forced her sister to run away. It doesn't help with her problem of being blind as her guardian, Ratchet, is trying to help her cope with her sister missing and her blind state. Ratchet is stressed out to the max and has accidentally snapped at Piper a few times as a result.

Other soldiers have taken accountable at the kid missing from them mistreating her. Lennox and Epps are also stressed over their limit and trying their best to find where Gabriel has gone.

Three Month Time Skip

So much time has passed and all hope of returning the girl is diminishing every day. They have learned she was captured by the Cons and nothing has been spilled so far. This is giving the Autobots a dreading feeling that the sparkling was no longer with them.

They can only hope and pray to Primus for the safe return of Gabriel.

Sorry, this is shorter than normal but you get to see inside the base. By losing a great friend, things will be very different to everyone. If you haven't seen in my other story, it's fucking snowing at my house and I'm literally snowed in. It's nearly impossible to leave my own house. School was canceled yesterday and today, hopefully, tomorrow is the same or I'm going to have a hissy fit. Also, the snow is up to my knees and I'm 5'7 (I know I'm kind of short), thats at least a foot here and I live in a fucking desert so this way out of the ordinary. Sorry about that rant. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Let the wolf howl!
