After several hours of labor intensive work, the pair were finished, and Optimus headed on his way back to his room. Keeper watched his father until he was out of sight, but that didn't help, as Optimus went down in a long, lonely rarely used hallway between the prime's office and his room. His body was wracked with pain, and he couldn't understand it. He leaned against the wall as pain moved through him.
Pincer was busy, that much Optimus knew. Mirage was available, but Optimus didn't have time. He felt oil rush out of him and swore before laying down, trying to get a hold of anyone who could help him. The call went through eventually but not before Optimus struggled to spark. Mirage came running, as did pincer as well as keeper, but the bot who found Optimus first was his daughter, Bluesky. "Dad, what's going on?" Bluesky asked, as she noticed Urgent Care was running down the hall as well.
"Seems...nnn...I'm sparking dear...kindly help daddy"
"Yes, dad, I'm here" Bluesky stated. "Urgent please help, dad is sparking and he is having trouble." Urgent immediately got down and began to help the sparklings while Bluesky encouraged her father. Optimus used his daughter's encouragement and did as Urgent told him.
Optimus struggled as the first two, both femmes emerged. What no one knew was that three more mechs were waiting inside, ready to come out as well. "Optimus, did you ever get checked out?" Urgent asked. The medic was not going to like the answer he got.
"I never showed...any signs..." Optimus groaned.
Urgent stopped himself form swearing, and did a quick scan. "You still have three more to come out. How could you not have any signs?" Urgent asked, more concerned than really angry.
"I don't...know..." Optimus said not realizing that this had been a punishment for what they had done to pincer but in which pincer had long forgiven his mates.
Urgent calmed himself. "Let's just get these little ones out" Urgent stated gently, aware that his brothers could hear him. Optimus and Bluesky were a bit taken back, but Optimus realized what was going on, and even toned himself down. Optimus groaned and grunted as he pushed.
Soon enough the three larger mechs were sparked and Optimus was relieved that the sparking process was all over. And it was now that Mirage came running and found his mate. "Oh, Optimus…" Mirage stated.
"I didn't know..." Optimus said weakly.
Mirage moved next to his mate, and began feeding him some energon as Urgent checked over the sparklings. "I think I know" Mirage stated, as his memory had now been restored, "I think this was Primus punishing you for what we did to Pincer the first time." Optimus nodded and groaned. Everything was muffled and his systems protested and his spark fluttered. Mirage tried not to panic as his mate passed out in his arms. "We have to get him to the med bay now." Mirage could only watch as he was frozen stiff in terror and he couldn't have helped lift his mate even if he wanted to. And Mirage was somewhat overlooked as more bots came to help bring Optimus and the sparklings to the med bay. Mirage sat frozen, tears in his optics. This was too much for him to take, but he knew Optimus needed him.
One of the bots came over and helped Mirage up. Mirage followed, not really knowing where he was going, but not yet ready to lose his mate, again. Ratchet was commed and was working on Optimus. Mirage was in shellshock leaving Pincer unable to decide who to be with but when Flasher and Keeper came up to be with Mirage, pincer knew he could stay with Optimus. "How could this have happened" Pincer said as the medics worked on Optimus.
"I'll explain" came a new voice, as Primus had taken over Slugbug once again. Pincer wasn't sure about this bot and shook.
"w-w-w- Who are y-y-you?" Pincer asked.
"Pincer, my son, don't be afraid. You know me, my name is Primus. The bot you see before you is my portal, Slugbug. He was adopted by Optimus and Mirage. You were wondering how this could happen to Optimus" Primus stated.
"Yes...why is this happening"
"Both Mirage and Optimus needed to be punished for forcing you into sparking when you weren't ready. I know you have forgiven them, but that doesn't mean that they don't have to live with the consequences of their decisions. Fear not, for I have promised to Optimus that he will not leave until Mirage goes, and I don't plan on taking Mirage anytime soon" Primus stated.
"How could you..." Pincer said. "It was forgiven and forgotten"
"But every action has a consequence, pincer, even you know that" Primus stated, and Pincer had to admit it was true. "Fear not, Pincer, this is the last of the punishments."
Pincer turned away. "That may be but this was too far"
"He merely needs energon, my son. Give him plenty, and he will come around. He is not hurt or damaged in any way, shape or form' Primus stated.
"My scans show his spark is weakened, we have different definitions of hurt or damaged" Ratchet said.
Slugbug walked up to Optimus's body and pulsed a healing pulse straight to Optimus's spark, strengthening it to much stronger that it was previously. Ratchet and Pincer were shocked, while Mirage just felt joyous. As glad as pincer was that Optimus would be okay he still wasn't happy with Primus. But before Pincer could say anything, Primus and Slugbug were both gone.
"Is he really going to be okay?"
Ratchet scanned and found that Optimus was stronger than he had been. "He's going to be just fine."
"I feel horrible this happened"
Optimus's optics slowly flickered on as his memory remembered that time it was just himself and Mirage. He now knew why he had carried but not known. He understood. "Don't love, I needed to learn my lesson" Optimus stated, instantly drawing both Mirage and Pincer to him.
"I'm sorry this happened" Pincer said as he and Mirage kissed Optimus softly. Mirage kissed his mates, and Optimus embraced the two.
Meanwhile, Fader was getting closer to sparking as well, and was tempted to induce himself, just so he could stop being on bed rest. Percy came and rubbed Fader back. "What's on your mind?" Fader clammed up, not wanting to reveal what was on his mind, as he knew his sparkmate wouldn't like it. "Come on love talk to me"
Fader sighed. 'I was thinking of inducing myself" Fader stated, knowing he was only 7 months along. He was tired of being on bedrest and every one of his systems ached.
"I don't think so" Percy said Fader knew his mate would say that, which is why he had tried to get out of saying it. Fader sighed, as he just felt useless and worthless being restrained to the bed.
"Do you want something to read or do?"
"I've read everything in the base twice and what can I do in bed?" Fader asked, hormonally.
"Relax and let me play'' Percy said rubbing Fader body. Fader let his mate do whatever, not realizing what his mate was planning on doing. Percy started to work hot spots. Fader started to moan, as it had been weeks since his mate had rubbed his hot spots. Percy lavished Fader with attention.
The large sparked bot didn't know what to say as he felt his systems start to warm. "Ooh, it's been …..been so long, love….ugh….feel so hot…." Fader soon stated, the ministrations starting to do as Percy intended. Percy smiled and kept working Fader wanting him to enjoy this. Fader soon opened his groin plating, and his stiff spike as well as his dripping valve were soon on display for his mate. Percy gently prepared his mate's valve. Fader moaned ever louder. "Ugh…been so long….too long…please…please give me more….I want….want to….ngh…feel you...mmmm….inside me" Fader begged.
"Then you shall have me"
Fader's valve was tight, as he hadn't sparked before, and it had been awhile since Percy had used it. "Oooo….so big" Fader moaned as he felt the spike start to slip inside of him. Percy was gentle as he loved his mate. And for a few minutes, Fader forgot about being sparked, forgot about being on bed rest, and just enjoyed the moment. Percy made sure Fader had as many overloads as he could. Fader overloaded 5 times before he couldn't overload anymore, as he was too tired and in need of energon. Percy fed Fader several energon cubes. Fader was too tired to stay awake and after smiling at his mate, he fell into a pleasant recharge. Percy smiled and let Fader rest.
Elsewhere, Sparklingpopper wanted to talk to Soundwave and Grimlock. He had made up his mind – once he sparked, he wanted to be a sparkling again and have them raise him. Soundwave was making repairs on the cassette femmes while Grimlock watched. Popper went up to the two, hoping he wasn't interrupting anything. "Sirs, may I speak with you?" Popper asked nervously, ready to run if either made a threatening move.
"Statement, yes popper?"
"I….I've come to…to a decision…regarding that….being a sparkling again…" Popper replied bravely, "and….I….I want you two….to raise me again….after I spark."
Soundwave nodded and Grimlock went to popper. "Is that Popper's final choice?" Grimlock asked, and Popper nodded. "Then we proceed once sparklings come. What want new name to be?" Grimlock asked, giving Popper the chance to pick his own name.
"I...I don't know..." he said. Then something came into his mind. "Second Chance"
Grimlock smiled. "Me Grimlock like name"
"Really?"
"Me think Second chance be perfect name for you" Grimlock stated with a smile. Popper was shocked and shot a look to Soundwave who merely nodded.
"Thank you" Popper said.
"Bot welcome" Grimlock stated, before hugging Popper in his large arms. Popper was surprised but did snuggle into the embrace.
Meanwhile, Flasher went to the med bay. He wanted to check on the growing sparklings inside him, and he hoped no one asked any questions. Ratchet was still on duty and asked Flasher if everything was alright. "I think I'm sparked, can you check on it for me?' Flasher asked, trying to play it cool and innocent.
"Sure lay down"
Flasher lay down. He was hoping what Soundwave had told him was untrue, but he was about to find out that Soundwave's "high probability" was dead on. Ratchet scanned. "You're sparked...but there are some odd readings"
"What do you mean 'odd readings', Ratch" Flasher asked, hoping he didn't have to reveal what perversion had happened, as he had had no control over it.
"It's your code...but..."
"But what?" Flasher asked.
"Care to explain why I'm finding keeper's code." Flasher sighed, and then, revealing what he had learned from Soundwave, he told Ratchet what he knew – how Grimlock's spark had entered Soundwave's body and used the telepathy. Soundwave had tried to fix what he could, but even Soundwave couldn't have fixed this. Flasher looked down and away, as he had had no control over the perversion that had gotten him into this situation, and Flasher thought Ratchet would be mad at him and his twin. Ratchet placed a gentle hand on Flasher's shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I never planned to have this happen with my twin. It was bad enough when Soundwave told Keeper, his mates, my mates, and I that this had happened. Please don't be mad at Keeper or I, as we never asked for this" Flasher stated, tears in his optics.
"Shhh, I'm not mad I am concerned though"
"What's wrong?" Flasher asked, scared now.
"I'm worried about you for one, and the sparkling I don't like the readings. You may not even make it to term'
"Do you think I will miscarry?" Flasher asked, not sure whether to feel relieved or saddened.
"I think right now there is a 50/50 chance of that happening"
"Is there anything I should or should not do to at least give the little one a better chance?" Flasher asked.
"Take it easy, take in more energon other then that I don't know what to tell you"
Flasher nodded and requested to be put on bedrest, which Ratchet didn't hesitate in doing, and once Flasher got home he told his mates, and then commed his twin. And after talking to them, he had to make the most dreaded comm. of all – to his parents. Mirage answered since Optimus was helping Pincer with the sparklings. "I've got some news mama, and I am not sure you're gonna like it" Flasher stated.
"What's wrong, baby?" Mirage asked, voice full of love and warmth.
"I'm sparked….with Keeper's sparkling" Flasher answered. Silence came from the other end.
"Are you sure? How did this happen?" Mirage started asking. Flasher relayed the same story he had told Ratchet. Mirage, after hearing the story, was very compassionate, and told Flasher he was going to come see him. Mirage soon told his mates that he was going to visit Flasher, and took off, hoping to comfort his son. Flasher clung to Mirage and cried. "It's not your fault, baby, and it is not Keeper's either. And I can't really blame Grimlock as he obviously didn't understand what he was doing. But we must deal with this the best we can, and give that precious sparkling a chance at life' Mirage stated, trying to soothe his son. Red and Charger just watched, happy yet shocked to see just how supportive Mirage was being.
"Ratchet...Ratchet said the sparkling may not make it"
"But only Primus knows for sure, baby, and until otherwise, we will treat this as a sparkling that is going to come into this world" Mirage stated, making Flasher feel a bit better.
Flasher nodded. "Yes mama"
Mirage helped out by getting Flasher energon. "Has Ratchet put you on bedrest yet?" Mirage asked. Flasher nodded. "Good" Mirage stated, "Now let me just tell your father about this, as he will want to know." Flasher was glad that it was his mother telling his father and not him, as his mother seemed to have an easier time telling things to Optimus.
"Thank you mama." Mirage stepped out of the room and commed his mates to tell them what had happened, and while Pincer took it ok, Optimus had a fit.
"Optimus you must calm down this was an accident" Mirage said.
But Optimus didn't listen and went after his son Keeper. Mirage quickly commed Soundwave and told him about what was going on. It didn't take Soundwave long to get between Optimus and his intended target. "Statement, Stop, will not let you harm the Prime"
"Move out of my way Soundwave''
"Statement, will not move till you listen to what I say. Statement, not Keeper's fault" Soundwave stated. 'Statement, my mate and I switched bodies, and he used my powers."
"Grimlock's responsible for this?"
"Statement, in a manner of speaking yes. Statement, Grimlock unaware of how strong my powers were when he took over my body. Didn't know he was causing damage. Statement, I tried to fix what I could, but I couldn't undo a sparkling formation' Soundwave stated. Optimus still wasn't happy but wasn't about to hurt his son.
"Statement, if anyone to be punished, it should be me" stated Soundwave. "But don't hurt the Prime." Optimus wasn't sure what to do. "Statement, love and support sons' Soundwave stated before getting out of the way and heading back to his mate.
"Keeper" Optimus said.
"Yes sir?" Keeper responded, only his mates and his father in hearing distance.
"Are you alright son?"
"Of course I am. Whatever would give you the idea that I am not" stated Keeper, still trying to digest what his twin had just told him.
"Your mother told me." Keeper hung his head in shame, as there was no way his father was going to believe him that this was not his fault, or so he thought. "Are you alright Keeper?"
"I… I just can't bring myself to believe that I did that, as I have never wanted flasher in that way and I never wanted to cheat on my mates" Keeper stated.
"I know son and Soundwave explained what happened." Keeper shot a look at his father, unsure of whether to believe him or not. "It's alright son, come here." Keeper went to his father, unsure of what to expect. Optimus hugged his son. Keeper cried, finally releasing what he had been holding back for so long. Optimus held him and let him cry.
After a several minutes of a good cry, keeper finally felt better and stronger than he did before. 'Thank you, father" was all he could say.
"You're welcome son." And keeper and his father parted on good terms.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Spinout was enjoying his teaching of the sparklings with one exception. That exception was that one of the sparklings he taught had a parent who was single, after losing his mate, and had constantly been hitting on Spinout, even after Spinout told this bot he was bonded. And since Whisper refused to come down to the school area, this other bot didn't believe Spinout, and thought Spinout was bluffing. Spinout pulsed an urgent desperate plea to his mate to come to the school area.
Begrudgingly, Whisper came down to the area, just in time to see this bully and lovesick bot try to put the moves on his mate. To say Whisper was pissed was an understatement. Spinout tried again to get the bot to stop. Enraged, Whisper ran up and ripped the bot off of his mate. "Stay the hell away from my mate or else" Whisper stated, his seeker anger coming out. The unknown Romeo backed down terrified of the bot, promising to leave Spinout alone from now on. The Romeo left and Spinout finally relaxed. He had never been so happy to see his mate.
Whisper turned to his mate. "Baby, why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
"I've tried, why you think I've been trying to get you to come down here. But you've refused''
"I'm sorry, love. I should have been there more for you' whisper stated, hugging his mate in relief that the Romeo had not tried to interface with his mate.
Spinout clung to whisper. "He's been getting more and more forward"
"Hopefully now that he knows the truth, he won't try anything again" whisper stated, trying to soothe his mate. Spinout nodded curling further into his mate's arms. "Baby, the kids are out at babysitters and we have the quarters all to ourselves. I think someone is in need of some love. Am I right?" Whisper asked, whispering into his mate's sensitive audio.
Spinout nodded, it had been so long. ''Yes." Whisper scooped up his mate and kissed him as they headed back to their quarters. Spinout kissed back and curled into his mate as he was carried. Soon enough, they were back in their quarters and Whisper gently placed his mate on the berth and began rubbing sweet spots and hot spots. Spinout moaned softly. Whisper gently licked and plucked delicate wires neat Spinout's groin, hoping to convince Spinout to open his groin plating. Spinout moaned and opened. "It's been so long..."
"Yes, and it is my fault, as I have been busy exploring with Silverflair, but I sense that you are receptive my love, are you ready for more?" Whisper asked, licking and teasing both his mate's stiff spike and dripping valve.
"Yes...I need you...I need your sparklings"
'then I shall fill you with them, baby" whisper stated, sliding his thick, stiff spike deep into his mate's tight valve. Spinout cried out feeling his mate's spike in him again. Whisper gently thrusted in and out, and played with erotic mind control his mate's spike, pumping it at the same pace he was thrusting at. Spinout moaned and cried out his mates praises as he was taken.
'Show me that beautiful spark of yours, doll" Whisper whispered into his mate's audio.
"Yessss..." Spinout moaned and released his spark. Whisper released his spark as well, and when the two sparks met, not only did Spinout become sparked, both bots overloaded something fierce. Spinout was wiped out afterwards. "Oh whisper..."
'Feel better love?" Whisper asked.
"Mmhmm" Spinout sighed contently.
"And if that bot ever bothers you again, comm. me and tell me, and I will get there as fast as I can to scare him off" whisper stated, drawing his mate close to him.
"Thank you" Spinout said snuggling.
"Welcome love, as you are mine" whisper stated, playfully possessive.
"Always yours" Spinout purred.
And even elsewhere, Shadowwalker was looking for his mate, razorblade, who was late coming home from the med bay. Shadow knew he was receptive and he knew Razor wanted some sparklings. Shadow had been resistant to the idea until now, and he hoped Razor was willing to impregnate him. Shadow was looking everywhere for his mate needing him so badly. Razor was on his way home from the med bay when Shadow found him. "Razor love, I've been looking for you''
"Oh? Why have you been looking for me, love?" Razor asked, sensing that Shadow was receptive, but fearing that Shadow was unwilling to carry, Razor said nothing.
"I...I'm receptive love and...I want you to knock me up." Razor was surprised, shock, and extremely happy, as his mate was finally willing to give him sparklings. Shadow ducked his head afraid his mate would say no.
Razor gently lifted his mate's helm until their optics met. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, my love, but I didn't want to force you. I wanted you to choose when you were ready' razor stated love, warmth and a hint of things yet to come wrapped up in his voice.
Shadow hugged Razor tightly. "I'm ready, I want your sparklings"
'You want it out here, where anyone can walk by and see, or can you at least wait until we get behind our own closed doors?' Razor asked, feeling his mate feeling him up.
Shadow had the grace to look embarrassed. "I can wait but not long." Razor grabbed his mate and ran for their quarters. Thankfully no one stopped them, and soon they were inside. Razor began to ravish his mate, not wanting his mate to change his mind as he had done before. Shadow moaned and cried out clinging to razor begging for more. Razor ran his hands along his mate's hot spots, wanting to make this last just a bit before they got to actual interfacing.
"Razor...nnnnn...please... I need you" shadow moaned.
Razor smiled. "Where do you want me love? In that that hot little valve of yours?" Razor asked, rubbing his mate's groin plating sensually.
"Yessss..." Shadow moaned.
Razor carried his mate to the berth room and laid him down on the berth. And while stroking the groin plating, Razor stated, "then open up for me, love." Shadow didn't have to be told twice and opened for his mate. Razor teased the dripping valve and stroked the stiff spike before lining up his own thick, throbbing member with the valve and gently sliding in while continuing to stroke his mate's stiff spike. Shadow moaned happily.
Razor smiled and groaned as he felt the soft, wet warmth surrounding his stiff spike and he slowly began thrusting. "Oh love…love you so much" razor stated, just as pleasure shot as his mate.
"Nnnn...oh razor..." Shadow moaned.
"Are you ready to carry our sparklings, baby?" Razor asked, hoping that Shadow wouldn't say no.
"Yessss...I need your sparklings inside me"
Razor smiled, "Then release your spark to me, love." Shadow released his spark needing to be sparked. Razor released his spark, to join their sparks. And when the sparks joined in midair, shadow's changed colors, indicating the bot was carrying. Both overloaded as the sparks joined together. Neither saw the merge nor the color change, but both knew that they had been successful.
"Oh Razor..." Shadow moaned.
"Thank you, love, you've always made me happy, and now, now that you are willing to carry sparklings, you have made me even happier" Razor stated, lazily yet gently kissing his mate.
Shadow kissed back. "I love you"
"I love you too, Shadow. But for now, rest, as I have a couple days off, and we will have some time together, just you and I" razor stated, gently stroking his mate's faceplate.
"Sounds wonderful" Shadow said and snuggled close.
Outside the base, Siren was once again enjoying the sun on his own and wondering why his brothers had been so callous as to never come back and see their father or see him or his sister once peace was declared. He was still angry at them, though he had to admit, probably not as angry as Ironwill, as Siren knew his two brothers much better than she did. He wished they would have been there to help dad and him and his mate. He felt he needed to talk to them. But what caused him to hesitate was his sister, Ironwill. He didn't want to hurt or betray her, and so it left him in a bit of a lurch. Ironwill at the moment was with Buster.
Siren went to go talk to his sister, to see if he could reason with her. He knew she had been hurt the most by this, as he had been in no condition to help out. "Hey you two" Siren said.
'hey there, big bro" Ironwill stated.
"S…S...si…Siren" Ironhide stated, even as he was held in Buster's arms.
Buster smiled. "Yep, that's your oldest son, Siren."
Siren smiled and scooped up Ironhide. "Hi dad"
'What brings you around here?" Ironwill asked, curious.
"He of'en stops by" Buster stated, "ta see Hide and Hound."
"That I do but actually I need to talk to you Iron"
'What's up? And by the way, may I say you look so much better now that you have been healed' Ironwill stated.
"Thanks, I feel good. Iron...we need to talk about our brothers"
"Those worthless pain in the afts – why? Why do we need to talk about them? They made their choice' Ironwill stated angrily.
"I'm upset with them too, but I want to know why they never came back"
"Talk….talk wif dem" Ironhide stated as he watched the exchange, as if he knew what was going on. Buster was shocked as was Ironwill.
"Is this gang up on Ironwill day?" the femme asked, feeling backed into a corner, and she didn't like it.
"You heard dad he wants us to talk them"
"What the hell are we going to say? I have nothing to say to them" the femme stated, angrily.
"I'll do the talking if you'll listen"
"Fine, I'll go, but I won't promise that I won't lash out at them" Ironwill stated, saddening Hide who realized his daughter was much, too much for her own good, like him.
"I...iron..." Ironhide said.
"What daddy?" Ironwill stated sweetly but with exasperation. Ironhide tried to say behave but could only get the have part.
Ironwill understood, as she had always understood her father, as her spark was so much like his. "Don't worry, daddy, I'll behave, but that doesn't mean I won't give them a piece of my mind" Ironwill stated, kissing her sparkling father's helm before she left with Siren. Ironhide hmph-ed but watched them go.
Whisper was easy to find, as he was out and about while his mate Spinout was out and about, as Whisper wanted to make things quite clear that Spinout was not "on the market." "Whisper" Siren said. "We need to talk to you"
"Hi Siren, HI Ironwill" Spinout stated, easily chatting with both, as he had befriended both. "Whisper, do you know these two? They are such wonderful bots."
"They're my brother and sister" Whisper said.
Spinout was shocked. "You never told me you two were related to my mate."
"That's because you never asked nor did you tell us who your mate was" Ironwill stated, much gentler than she would have if Spinout had not been there. Spinout nodded, that was a good point.
"We came to talk" Ironwill got out, though it felt like pulling teeth.
Whisper nodded. "Love why don't you go get some energon and relax a bit"
"No love, I want to remain by your side" Spinout stated.
"Spinout, I think it's best you go rest. Believe me, this might get a bit heated" Ironwill stated sweetly, and just like that, Spinout left.
"So which of you is going to beat me first?"
Iron went to lunge at Whisper but Siren held her back. "we want to know one thing….Why did you never come back to help us with dad, or more so, help Ironwill with dad, as dad was dying mom was gone, and I was in no shape to help?" Siren asked. Whisper sighed, he didn't know how to say it.
"Well….we're waiting" Ironwill stated snottily. It wasn't the least bit helpful, but then neither one could ever convince Ironwill of anything.
"I was grieving too" whisper said. The femme was about to say something, but Siren covered her mouth.
"Losing mom...losing so many I cared about I couldn't deal"
Iron elbowed her brother, who released his hold. "And so you ran, like a coward?" the femme stated, making Whisper feel even worse.
"Yes alright, I'm a coward is that what you want to hear Iron?"
Iron backed down, as she never realized Whisper was so sensitive. "You're lucky, Iron, Ironhide and Hound were able to have you as a miracle baby. But before you came along, my brothers and I were adopted. Betcha didn't know that" Whisper stated, shocking Ironwill who had never been told that the three she held so close as brothers were brothers only through adoption.
"We're the product of an Autobot and Decepticon, mom and dad took us because they couldn't have sparklings. Then one day dad became sparked with you, Soundwave built you."
Ironwill lost her vigor, as no one, not even her mom or dad had ever told her how she or her brothers had come to be. She never knew why she was called the "miracle sparkling" until right now, and soon she was crying into Siren's arms. Siren shot a look to his triplet brother, in a "did you have to say it that way" type look. "What, you know I've never been diplomatic" Whisper said coming over and rubbed his sisters back. Siren and whisper stood there, comforting their sister as she broke down. She may have pissed them off from time to time, but they were the first ones there if she needed anything, felt scared, or just wanted to be held. "Love you Iron, can you forgive me?" Whisper asked.
Ironwill nodded, forgiving her brother for a betrayal that never occurred. It had simply been that Whisper wasn't able to handle watching the breakdown and had to go. "I….I…I for…forgive you" Iron finally got out, and in Buster's arms, the bot noticed Hide seemed to be slowing down, as did Hound. The three siblings had no idea as they went to see shadow.
Buster went to grab Hound and held the two as he knew what was happening, and he knew these two were only going to make it till when their sparklings reunited. But the two little ones wouldn't go, until they knew for sure. But back at Razor and Shadow's room, the three siblings were trying to talk to Shadow as Razor stood in their way, as while he recognized Whisper, he didn't know the other two.
"Razor come on we need to talk to Shadow"
"Razor, love, please let them talk to me. They are my siblings. The two you don't' recognize are Siren and Ironwill. They aren't here to hurt me or our developing sparklings" Shadow stated. Razor finally let them in.
And while the four siblings talked, Hound and Hide were closer to returning to the well of All Sparks, and Buster and starlight knew it. They called Mirage, Optimus, and Pincer to say their goodbyes. The three came running and Optimus held Ironhide. "I wish you and Hound could stay old friend."
"Mission almost complete" came Ironhide's voice out of the sparkling.
"I know but if you two could talk Primus into letting you stay or returning we will happily have you both. But we understand."
"Only here to repair the relationship" hide stated, feeling that Primus was soon going to take him and his mate home. Hide didn't want to leave, but he knew that he and Hound had been sent back for this purpose alone. But the real decision was up to Primus.
"I know old friend" Optimus said as the four siblings became one again. Hound felt the same as Ironhide he didn't want to go back. Primus decided that he would let them stay and age them a bit.
Hide and Hound could feel that their first mission was complete, but soon found that they had a second mission – making sure the first mission succeeded beyond just the here and now. Both little Hide and Hound soon returned back to life. 'New mithon…see thith thru" Hide stated, giggling in Optimus's arms as Optimus felt the sparkling come back to life. Optimus smiled laughing.
Hound came back as well, making Buster and Light smile as well. "Guess Primus wants ta keep 'em here a bit longer" Buster stated.
"Looks like" Mirage said smiling.
And while the five were holding the two bots, Siren, Whisper, and Shadowwalker came with their mates while Ironwill came with her brothers to see their parents. Ironwill was still single, but she longed for love, now that she was no longer mad at her brothers.
"Bout time" Ironhide said seeing them. The three mates were glad to finally meet the bots who had raised their mates. Hound reached for Ironwill and Hide let himself be passed around. Ironwill held her mother, a bit sad.
"Soon" Hound said to his daughter.
"Oh mom, I just wish I could find the right bot" Ironwill stated.
"You will." Iron held her mother close to her, just glad her mother was around, even if he was young.
Soon enough Hound and Hide got tired and were put to bed where as they slept they got older to where they were younglings. Ironwill left her brothers, just to go and think.
Elsewhere there was a slightly older mech newly arrived, he was an odd mix. He was half seeker and half grounder but he could 'fold' his wings down and hide them. If he wanted to and which he did from time to time. Ironwill wasn't watching where she was going as she walked sadly through the hall.
"Excuse me" Firefly said to the sad looking femme.
"Sorry" stated Ironwill quietly, and moved out of the way not really looking up.
"Wait please, may I ask you something?"
Ironwill stopped and looked up. "What?" She asked quietly, thinking that this bot was also going to overlook her like every other mech ever did.
"I'm new here and don't know anyone, could you show me around?"
"Sure, as long as you don't mind an 'opinionated bitch' like myself' Iron stated, knowing she was just repeating what everyone seemed to call her.
"I doubt your that" Firefly said.
"You would be one of the few who would say that" Iron stated, as she began to show the older bot around, unaware that he seemed to be falling for her, even though she was built bigger and was not small and pretty like Elita or Chromia had been, or even Bluesky and her sisters.
That didn't bother Firefly as he didn't like the delicate femmes, he worked on engaging the femme in conversation. "I'm Firefly"
"My name is Ironwill, but many around here, bots either call me Iron bitch or Stubborn Ass, as I don't give in easily. I guess I got it from my father, Ironhide" Ironwill stated as she led on, enjoying the conversation, as this was one of few bots who didn't seem to either hate her or fear her.
"They're fools then" Firefly said. Ironwill showed Firefly around more, and soon ran into her triplet brothers, who she had just made up with, including Siren as she had always been hardest on him. The triplets were big, and triple changing seekers, and it was obvious to Firefly they sensed more was going on that met the optic. Firefly had his wings hidden at the moment when they ran into them. Ironwill excused herself to use the washroom, leaving Firefly with Siren, whisper, and Shadowwalker. "Hello, my name is Firefly"
"I'm Siren and these are my brothers Whisper and Shadowwalker. What do you think you are doing with our sister?" Siren asked, as he was the most levelheaded one of the three, as well as the most protective of their sister.
"Forgive me, I'm new here and I bumped into Ironwill and asked if she could show me around"
"Looked like you were checking out more than just what she was showing you" Siren stated, knowing it was what his brothers were thinking as well.
"I think Ironwill is very beautiful I will not lie about that"
Siren was surprised, as he had met several bots who had wanted his sister, but he had weeded them out pretty well. Firefly was different though, he made no secret of what he had been doing, but Siren didn't let his surprise show. "What do you want with her?" Siren asked.
"Her friendship and more only if she wishes it" Firefly said.
Siren nodded, he decided to give this bot a chance. "Just be careful, grounder, and if you hurt her, we will hurt you" Siren stated in all seriousness.
"I understand but I feel like I should be honest with you"
Siren looked at the bot, as did his brothers, as this was unusual. 'What do you mean?" Siren asked cautiously.
"I am a grounder yes but I'm also part seeker" Firefly said and knew like other bots they wouldn't believe until he proved it.
"Prove it" Siren stated, rather predictably, as he was part seeker, just like his brothers. Firefly sent the command and undid his wings that spanned out to a normal seekers wingspan just slightly longer.
Siren nodded, "welcome to the brotherhood" siren added, knowing that anybot willing to unhide his seeker secret could be trusted.
Firefly put his wings away again. "Not many know my secret."
'We are part seeker and part grounders, but we are triple changers" siren stated, "and your secret is safe with us" and with that, Siren and his brothers headed off, just before Ironwill came back.
"Hopefully I didn't miss anything" Ironwill stated, "sorry for taking so long."
"That's alright, your brothers didn't try and kill me"
Ironwill looked at Firefly. She knew her brothers weren't easily fooled, and so the fact that they hadn't pummeled him was significant, but she said nothing about it. "Shall we continue our tour, my friend?" Iron asked.
"I would like that"
Iron showed him around a little more before reaching her own quarters. She hoped he wasn't shy. 'Care to come in my friend?" Iron asked, as she felt her own spark start to react to this gentle bot.
"I would like that" Firefly said smiling at her. Iron brought him into her spacious yet small quarters. She wanted this bot, but didn't know if she should make the first move. Firefly saved her the trouble. "May I kiss you?" Too shocked to speak, Ironwill merely nodded, as she wanted to passionately kiss this bot. She wanted him to take her. Fire gently pulled her to him and kissed her gently yet deeply. Ironwill enjoyed the passionate yet gentle kiss and kissed back with an equal amount of passion as well as moving her hand sensually along his sensitive frame.
"You're so beautiful Iron" Firefly said.
Iron smiled and wanting to show just how much she wanted this mech, she opened her chest plate and revealed her extremely sensitive nodes. 't…t…touch me, please?" Iron asked, hoping this mech wouldn't turn her down. Firefly nodded smiling and gently worked her nodes. Iron moaned as the erotic touches. She could feel her valve dripping lubricant, yet she didn't want to open it just yet, unsure that Firefly would want to go any further, unaware his systems had picked up her need.
"Let me take care of you, let me love you"
Ironwill nodded as her lubricant leaked around her hot groin plating. She wanted nothing more than for this bot to fill her two valves with his spike, and maybe, just maybe, become her mate and give her the sparklings she had always longed for. Firefly gently picked her up and held her and kissed her as he carried her to the berth. Iron let him, totally lost and in love with this gentle bot. Firefly laid her down gently and started to kiss, taste and touch her everywhere.
Iron soon revealed her two valves to her mate-to-be, explaining that she had almost been created as a mech, but her parents wanted a femme. Firefly nodded. "I will be tender with you as I never want to hurt you, if you'll have me."
"Please, be my love, and unite us' Iron stated, wanting the bot more than anything else in the world at that moment. Firefly smiled and kissed her deeply before he prepared both her valves. Ironwill just enjoyed the sensations as they washed over her and through her. The pleasant heat that was growing inside was hard to ignore, and she began to moan and groan in pleasure ever so sweetly. Iron knew most bots would have been put off if they had seen two valves, but not Firefly, and she continued to enjoy what he was doing to her valves.
"Tell me when you're ready, my beautiful Ironwill" Firefly purred. "Will you have me as your mate?"
Ironwill smiled, processor still running on all cylinders despite the pleasure. She thought about it only a split second before she said, "Yesss…..yesss….I will have you as my mate….as long as you will have meeeee….." Ironwill moaned, somewhat wondering how Firefly was going to pleasure her two fully functioning valves. Firefly carefully slid his spike into one valve and slid a toy into the other.
A toy wasn't quite what Ironwill had expected, and though it bothered her, she said nothing, just enjoying the sensations he was giving her. Silently, in her own mind and away from Firefly, she wished he had two spikes instead of using a toy. Primus heard her prayer, as she so rarely asked for anything, and he made a slight adjustment to firefly's form, something that even Firefly didn't expect – second spike.
Firefly was startled when he suddenly had a second spike. "Iron..."
"What's wrong, firefly, don't you love me?" she asked, noticing that he had stopped. She didn't know what had happened to the poor bot. Firefly now had two spikes, a valve and his aft port, and it was bothering him.
"Of course I do my sweet Ironwill, it seems I suddenly have a second spike that I didn't have before"
Iron was embarrassed as Primus must have heard her prayer, but she played innocent, hoping not to offend her soon to be mate. "Maybe Primus was making sure we were a perfect match" she stated.
Perhaps so but no matter for the moment not letting on that two spikes bothered him and continued to love his soon to be mate. Iron moaned louder and felt even more pleasure now that she had a hot, throbbing spike in each valve, and both valves were working overtime to give firefly even more pleasure.
Firefly moaned and continued to thrust in and out the second spike still feeling odd. But he focused on Ironwill's pleasure. Without prompting, Ironwill released her spark, which would unknowingly release her secret wish that she never actually expected to be granted. Firefly released his spark as well to join Ironwill's and joined them together, his spark revealing his secret of being part seeker. Ironwill felt the bond and was happily surprised by all she learned, and could even feel the color of her spark changing times two, which meant both her chambers would be carrying sparklings. She released everything about her to her new mate, as it was only fair.
"Little minx" Firefly said kissing Ironwill. "So you asked for two spikes hmm, well as long as it pleases you then I will keep it"
"Well, the toy was hurting me, but I never thought Primus would actually grant it" Ironwill stated, revealing she was just as surprised as Firefly that it happened. "Though I am happy that it did happen and I hope you aren't mad at me."
"I'm not mad, love, just very surprised and I'm sorry the toy hurt you"
"I've always been very sensitive down there" Ironwill stated, lowering her helm.
Firefly kissed her lovingly. "That's alright it just means I can drive you insane with want." Ironwill smiled, and for once, she was truly happy, and even Firefly could feel it.
"Did I hurt you my love?" Firefly asked.
"Not after you stopped using the toy" Ironwill replied.
"Then no more toys."
"Thank you, love" Ironwill stated, glad her mate understood. Firefly kissed her lovingly. Ironwill snuggled against her mate, finally happy and content.
"Beautiful Ironwill, I will take care of you always"
Elsewhere, in the med bay, the little sparklings were thriving and were getting closer to going home, while Kryptonight still lay in stasis lock. Charger came by everyday as did Hurricane.
"How are the little ones doing, Charger?" Hurricane asked, as was customary as they headed to the med bay.
"Stronger, Ratchet says I can take them home soon. He wants them to develop a bit more"
"That is good to hear" stated Hurricane. Hurricane was still worried about his mate, as even he had had no idea just how sensitive his mate was.
"How's Kryptonight?"
"Still in stasis lock. He's vitals are slowly getting better, but I think he was more depressed than any of us, outside of his twin, realized" Hurricane stated.
"He'll come back"
"I am sorry for what he did to you and your mates" Hurricane stated. This reminded Charger of something.
"Did you tell Kryptonight to come apologize?" Charger asked.
"What? He did what? I never told him anything other than I was upset with him for what he did. He is not one that easily swallows his pride, so I never make him apologize, as I figure if he is going to do it, he will do it on his own – in his own way and in his own time. Usually I end up apologizing for him" Hurricane stated, making Charger realize that Kryptonight really was trying to make things right on his own.
"I see, thanks for telling me"
"You're welcome, Charger. I hope your little ones go home soon" Hurricane stated, having no idea when his mate would come home.
"I hope so''
After arriving at the med bay, each went to their own respective area. Charger settled in and talked to his little sparklings. Hurricane went to go talk to his mate, hoping that soon, Kryptonight would come out of his depression induced coma. "Please love come back, Chargers sparklings get to go home soon, and they're going to make it." Hurricane felt a weak pulse, as if his mate was trying to reach out, in search of love and acceptance. Kryptonight was scared and lost as well as unsure where to go. Hurricane pulsed love and want to his mate. Kryptonight's hurting spark clung to the love and pulses like a sparkling clings to its mother creator. Kryptonight wanted to come back, but he was terrified of it as well. His depression was starting to overwhelm him and he was begging for help before he slipped into darkness.
Hurricane opened the bond full force, letting him know it was alright. Kryptonight's spark wrapped itself up in the light coming from his mate's spark and Kryptonight started fighting back more, trying to come out of stasis lock, but he was still weak and still low on energon. A new drip was hung and Hurricane guided his mate back. Krypto's optics were still offline, but his right hand reached out for his mate. Hurricane grabbed hold and held on. Krypto was still too weak to do much else, but Hurricane knew his mate was not only fighting, but fighting his way back successfully. Hurricane kept pulsing love.
Windrider, having noticed a shift in Hurricane, soon came over. "Doing ok, hurricane?" the old medic asked.
"He's coming back"
The old medic smiled, and being careful of lines, placed warm blankets and pillows around the seeker, and added a bit of stronger energon. Kryptonight responded well, as he grabbed his mate's hand with the one he was already using. Windrider smiled. 'You're right, 'cane, he's coming back and he'll be back with us, soon." And with that, the old medic left the two alone.
"I need you beloved and I'm sorry"
Kryptonight used his free hand to trace his mate's face plates. It was timid and light, but to hurricane, it meant the world. Hurricane nuzzled his love's hand. Krypto wrestled with him himself and soon, thought it was soft and hard to understand, said, "my love" to his mate.
"Oh my love, welcome back"
"Where….go?" Kryptonight airily whispered.
"Almost to where I couldn't follow"
'don't…wanna…leave" Kryptonight whispered again.
"I don't want you to either"
'Still….love?" Krypto got out.
"Yes, I love you and I forgive you, my bonded, my mate" Hurricane stated.
Krypto smiled weakly. "Love you"
"Love you too, rest." Krypto followed the advice, and fell back into a deep recharge. Hurricane relaxed knowing his mate would get stronger.
On the other side of the med bay, Ratchet was visiting with Charger, telling the young minibot just how much the little ones had improved and how close they were to going home. 'I'd give it another week or two, and then they should be able to go home" Ratchet stated.
Charger smiled. "Thank you"
'You're welcome. How are you and your mate's doing?" Ratchet asked.
"Worried and I haven't gotten to spend much time with them"
"What seems to be the biggest worry? You need more time with your mates or your sparklings?" Ratchet asked, trying to figure things out.
"Both, and I don't know things just haven't been the same for a bit"
"I can always talk to Keeper and Optimus, so that you can have more time with your mates. You are always welcome here to be with your sparklings, as are your mates. And would this worry have anything to do with Kryptonight?" Ratchet asked, bluntly.
"A little but he apologized of his own free will"
Ratchet was shocked, though he didn't show it, as he knew Kryptonight was not one to swallow his pride that much usually. But he recovered quickly and asked, "What can I do to help you?"
"I want more time with my mates"
"I can help make that happen" Ratchet stated, "after all I am head medic, and if I say someone can't work, they can't work."
"Thank you Ratchet" Charger said.
Ratchet nodded and then went to talk with Keeper and Optimus via comm. He told them of Charger's requests and concerns as well as the bots needs. He may have been treated like an adult, but he still had the needs of a youngling. Keeper and Optimus both agreed to Ratchet's plan and the three put in place the plan, which included taking red and flasher's sparklings and placing them elsewhere while placing Red and Flasher on leave for a while. Ratchet, happy with what had been done to help Charger, went back and told Charger what had been done to help him and his mates out. Charger hugged Ratchet happily.
"now go, enjoy time with your mates, who I am sure are going to be a bit confused about being placed on the off duty list for a while" Ratchet stated, hugging Charger back then sending the bot on his way. Charger ran home ready to be with his mates. Keeper had called Flasher and Red into his office and told them that Ratchet had wanted then off duty for a while, and while Flasher took it fairly well, red about glitched. It was all Flasher could do to get his mate out of the office. Neither knew why Ratchet wanted them off duty, but they would find out once back at their quarters. Charger rushed getting everything ready at home.
By the time Flasher and Red Alert got home, Charger had everything ready. Charger was practically bouncing as he waited. Flasher and Red were shocked when they got home and saw what Charger had done. 'What is the meaning of this?" flasher asked, wanting to know what was going on.
"I told Ratchet when he asked and we haven't had hardly any time together"
Flasher smiled. "If you wanted time with us, all you had to do was ask"
"But you two have been too busy to even ask" Charger retorted.
Flasher had nothing to say, neither did Red, as it was true. "Well, we are here now, and we hope to get a chance to spoil you" Flasher stated.
"I've missed you both so much"
"We've missed being with you as well" Flasher stated, watching as Red went up and hugged Charger. Charger hugged red tight. Flasher joined the hug, happy to see why Ratchet had placed them on the inactive list. Charger reached up and kissed both his mates. Flasher used his long arms and large, warm hands to rub both of his mates' afts. Red and charger moaned. Flasher smiled, stopped rubbing his mates, and headed for the berth room, hoping his mates would follow him. Red and charger looked at each other and rushed to follow. They found Flasher lying on the bed, on his back, thick, throbbing spike exposed. Red and charger licked their lips. "See something you like, loves?" Flasher asked, waiting for his mates to join him so that they could have fun. They nodded as they went to the berth.
Flasher waited for his mates to come, knowing it would be soon they would all be having fun. They came over and kissed Flasher. Flasher kissed back and rubbed their hot groin plating. They moaned and bucked against the hand rubbing them. Flasher soon watched as his mates exposed their groins. He used one of his hands to pump Red's spike while he used his other to rub Charger's valve. He wanted to take both of them, but would have to do it one at a time. Red and charger moaned begging for more. Flasher smiled, as he missed this as well. "Please..." Charger begged.
'Tell me what you want charger' flasher stated, still teasing the bot's valve.
"I need you...in me..."
"You want my thick spike in your hot little valve?" Flasher asked, still teasing Charger's valve and Red's spike.
"Yesss...please...please Flasher need you..."
Flasher smiled as he lifted Charger up and placed the hot, moist valve over his spike. "Open your aft port, and let Red really help give you a treat" flasher stated, causing red and Charger to shudder with anticipation. Charger opened his aft and didn't have to be told twice, right then though he needed that spike in his valve. Flasher waited for red to spike Charger's aft port before he began to thrust in and out of the valve. Charger moaned feeling the two spikes in him and writhed. Flasher set the pace, gentle yet stimulating.
"Ohh...loves please...mmm...nnnn oh feels so good"
Then Flasher whispered something to Charger, so that only charger could hear. "Should we knock up Red? It's been almost a year since he's carried"
"I think we should ask him" Charger whispered back.
Flasher nodded. And as he thrust in and out of charger, he had a question for red. "Red…ugh…my love…mmm…ngh….what…what do you think about….oooh…. carrying again?" Flasher asked.
Red paused in his thrusting in and out of Chargers aft as he was caught off guard by that question. "W...what?"
Flasher stopped his motions, which frustrated charger, but the minibot understood. "Do you want to carry sparklings again, my love?" Red shook his head no he didn't wish to carry. Flasher was saddened, but understood. He didn't want to force his mates to do anything they weren't ready for. And while it meant smaller overloads, all three kept their sparks inside their chambers as they enjoyed each other's company. And once charger and Red fell asleep, Flasher was still awake and wondered why he was so driven to have more sparklings, and he figured it was because he himself was already sparked with a sparkling that he would never have wanted but would never kill either.
It would prove to be a good decision that Red decided not to carry as a few days later there was an accident and he was caught up in it and was badly injured. Charger and Flasher were soon in the med bay at their mate's side. They didn't know what to do, and Charger silently cried into Flasher's strong chestplates. Ratchet spared them a moment and sat them down. "We're going to do everything that we can for him."
Flasher nodded and held his smaller mate, as he had been through something like this before, and while it didn't make it easy, it was easier for Flasher to be there for Charger. "Why don't you get some energon, you can have it right there in my office." Flasher nodded and managed to draw Charger away so that they could get some warm energon, and let the medics do their good work. Ratchet joined working on Red wanting to make sure he would be alright.
Charger was angry at Flasher for not showing more emotion. "What is wrong with you, our mate is in trouble, and you can't even cry?"
Flasher became angry, but said things in a gentle manner. "If I cried, how would I be strong for you? I had to be strong for Red when you were the one in the med bay, the one we had to let go. Who is there for me to cry to? You and Red both have me to lean on. Who do I have?"
"Me slag it, cry with me" Charger said. "I never wanted to leave either of you...I couldn't keep going anymore"
Flasher held his mate, as a few tears dripped down his cheek. It was the first time in a long time that Charger saw his strongest mate actually cry. Charger held onto him and they cried together. Flasher didn't feel any relief from crying, as he was frustrated and angry with himself, but he hid these feelings, as Charger needed him and needed his love and support. Charger ended up crying into recharge. Flasher carried his mate as they headed back into the med bay, hoping to hear some kind of news, any kind, as not knowing was killing Flasher more than anything else.
Ratchet was adjusting a few things but they were finished with Red. "Any word, Ratch?" Flasher asked, carrying charger gently over his shoulder, as the bot was deep in recharge.
"Red will be alright he just needs a bit to recover"
Flasher began to silently cry, happy that his mate wouldn't be leaving him. Ratchet put his hand on Flashers shoulder. "He's going to be sore for a time." Flasher nodded in understanding. "We had to reconstruct some things but he'll be okay once he gets over the soreness."
"As long as he is online and safe, I am happy" Flasher stated. No one had any idea yet that due to the accident, Red had amnesia and didn't remember anybody. The only way he would be able to tell his mates were really his mates was feeling the bonds between their sparks and his.
"He's going to be out for a while if you want to take charger home." Flasher did as Ratchet suggested, and took his tired, worn out mate home, as they both needed the sleep. And while they slept, Red Alert woke, and began to panic.
Ratchet saw and came over and gently said. "It's alright Red, your safe"
Red looked up and the bot and became afraid, very afraid, as he didn't remember who the bot was other than it was a medic. Fearing the medic would do horrible tests because of his glitch, Red backed away. "Stay away from me…..I don't know you….stay back"
Ratchet held his hands up defensively. "I would never hurt you Red Alert, your safe and I would hurt any who hurt you."
"I trust no medics. Every medic I've ever seen always tries to mess with my glitch….y-y-you're no d-d-different" Red stated trying to put even more distance between himself and this strange medic.
"We have been friends for a long time and I have never once experimented on you, nor will I ever" Ratchet said and backed away a few steps. "Please relax." Red took the space and ran, running scared. He didn't remember those around him. He didn't remember much. He knew his name, and that was about it. He didn't know if the war was over or hadn't started or in the middle. All he wanted to do was find somewhere and someone who was safe.
Charger woke and could feel Red panicking so he got up and went looking for him. Flasher woke too and felt the panic. And while sending out calming waves via the bond, Flasher headed to the med bay, to find out what was going on. Once at the med bay, Ratchet updated Flasher with what he knew, and that was when flasher knew he had to use his secret skill – being invisible, to find his mate. And so that was what Flasher did, and he headed off to try and find his wayward mate.
Charger found Red first. "Red, love it's alright please stop"
"W-w-who are y-y-you?" Red asked shakily backing away. Something about this bot made him feel safe, but he wasn't really sure if he could trust this bot.
"It's me Windcharger, it's alright now. Would you like some energon?"
Charger seemed to be doing well to coax the bot to come with him, but the moment flasher showed up, Red became scared again, but didn't react as Charger first thought. Instead of running away from Flasher, Red ran toward the bot, as Red sensed that flasher, though he didn't remember the name, was the one pulsing the comfort, love, and calmness.
"This is Flasher, our mate" Charger said gently. Flasher hugged the scared bot, hoping to help the bot calm down. Red, sensing something, trusted Flasher and was slowly starting to trust charger. Charger pulsed love and warmth as he came closer.
Sensing the warmth, red embraced Charger as well. "I don't know who you two are, but I feel like I belong with you and I am safe, especially from that horrible medic" red stated.
"What Ratchet?" Flasher asked. "He's just grumpy, he won't hurt you"
"I want nothing to do with any medics, all they ever do is pick me apart to find out why I glitch" red stated.
"Our medics know better and we don't mind your glitch at all" Charger said.
Flasher thought, as he knew he had to get Red to someone who could help him with this amnesia. He thought of Fader. Even though the bot was on bedrest, he had always been Red's favorite medic once the bot passed his boards. 'I have an idea, how about we visit a very kind brother of mine, and he wants to meet you" Flasher stated, secretly coming Percy and Fader.
If it hadn't been for Red Percy would have had said no, but told them they could come. Flasher gently guided his wayward mate, pulsing nothing but love and encouragement. And soon, they were visiting Percy and Fader. Fader knew right away something was wrong, but he also knew the best way to get to Red without reverting to being a medic.
"This is a surprise" Fader said smiling.
"You wanted to meet me? I don't even know who you are" Red stated, nervous but moving closer to Fader.
"That's alright, I'm Fader please have a seat"
Red moved closer and sat right next to Fader, unafraid and unaware he was right next to a medic. Fader gently stroked the bot's back, not only in comfort, but looking for a switch that would knock Red out so that Fader could fix the bot's amnesia. 'T-t-thank you" Red stated, feeling better than he had when he was in the med bay.
"You're quite welcome" Fader said just before finding the switch he sought.
Red went out like a light, totally unaware of what had happened and what was about to happen. Flasher explained what Ratchet had told him, and Fader knew exactly how to fix the problem. Percy watched, happy to see his mate smile and feel useful. Fader worked and did have to have them help a little. Soon enough, the repair was complete and Fader was ready to flip the switch back on.
"That should do it, once we know he's back take him back to the med bay" Flasher and Charger nodded, ready for whatever happened. Fader flipped the switch.
It took a couple minutes, but red finally came online. "Hey….what am I doing in this room….I thought I was in the med bay….Flasher? Charger? FADER? What is going on?" red asked, unnerved about not knowing what had just happened.
"It's alright love" Flasher said and told Red what had happened. "We're going to take you back to the med bay." Red, shaking, nodded, and had to have Flasher carry him as he was just too unnerved to move. Ratchet was waiting and got Red settled. Red was unusually quiet and unnerved as Ratchet checked him over.
"It's alright Red, I want you to rest a bit"
Red had just one question, for flasher. "How'd you know?"
"Know what"
"To take me to Fader?"
Flasher smiled, "because I have seen the way you react to my brother. I knew you wouldn't let anyone else near you." Red nodded and Ratchet hooked up a drip. Red soon went into recharge, finally allowing his body and systems to heal.
"He'll be okay" Ratchet said.
'I certainly hope so' stated Flasher, tired from all the running around.
"I'm ordering you two to go nap." Flasher and charger did as told, too tired to argue. Flasher held Charger closely to him, happy to have at least one mate to snuggle with. Ratchet went about the med bay.
Elsewhere, Saber was feeling kind of left out and lonely. Kit was off visiting another base where several of Elita and Keeper's sparklings were and Keeper was busy with Prime duties. Saber, thankfully, was able to send most of the sparklings elsewhere, as there were always lots of bots willing to sparkling-sit. Saber walked the base not sure what to do.
AS he was walking, he ran into one of Ramjet and Jetsetter's little ones that had wandered off. Saber didn't know where the little one came from or anything else. The little mech spoke up. "My name's Rammer, who are you?"
"I'm Saberclaw, are you lost?"
"Sorta. Mom and dad are sleeping, as are my brother and sister, but I wasn't tired. Besides, I'm the runt, no one will notice I am gone" Rammer stated, reminding saber so much of himself at that age, except for the part of knowing his siblings.
"They'll notice" Saber said and offered his hand to the sparkling.
"What's it matter, I'm too small to be anything. Mommy's big and daddy's even bigger" rammer stated, trying not to cry.
"I'm the runt of my family too, come on" saber said and scooped the sparkling up. "You'll grow"
"You know something Saber, you're the first one who's made me feel better about this. It's as if you understand me" Rammer stated purring and nuzzling Saberclaw.
Saber nuzzled back. ''That's because little one it was the same for me only I never knew my siblings until recently"
"Really?" Rammer asked, excitedly, before having an accident. He was scared that Saber would yell at him, the way most of his other babysitters had done.
"Come let's get you cleaned up" Saber said gently.
"Sorry, I am still working on my lubricating control' Rammer stated, enjoying the fact that Saber hadn't screamed at him.
"That's alright Rammer" Saber said and got him cleaned up.
"I wish you were our babysitter more often' Rammer stated, purring once again.
"Well maybe I can talk to your parents"
"Maybe you can talk them into staying home more often with us" rammer stated, 'They always seem to be gone. I love them, but they seem to have little time for us, especially daddy." Saber nodded and kept Rammer a bit longer. Rammer soon fell asleep in saber's arms as the Jet seeker made his way to Jetsetter and Ramjet's quarters, who were frantically looking for their lost son.
"I have him" Saber said.
"Where on Cybertron did you find him?" Jetsetter asked, much more worried than his mate, ramjet. It was obvious as to who was the mom between the two.
"We sort of found each other"
"Oh thank you, Saber. This is the second time he's run off since we came here" Jetsetter stated before sighing. "Last time, Mirage found him." Saber told them what Rammer had told him.
"He's been kind of upset ever since we moved. We are all adjusting, as we have more room now than we used to. Rammer, because he was so small, used to sleep between Ramjet and I. I think he misses it now that he has his own space' Jetsetter stated.
"Something needs to be done" Saber said. "He wants me to watch them"
'I don't understand it, neither he nor his siblings have liked most of the sitters that we have picked to watch them" Jet stated, worried as he had tried to be a good mother.
"The sitters yell at him."
"Why would they ever yell at him, he is not a troublemaker? He is a sweet little sparkling" jetsetter stated, to which Ramjet concurred.
"He's still working on lubrication control and still has accidents"
"He was sparked with a bit of weak pipes, he can't always hold it. He has made great progress though' jetsetter stated, surprising Saber and Ramjet.
"He gets screamed at for it. He thought I was going to do the same."
"That won't do. That won't do at all" Jetsetter stated, determined to not only make more time for his family, but also find better, more mature babysitters.
Saber nodded. "I'll watch them if it's ok"
'I'd appreciate that, saber. As you probably are most like their older brothers and sisters' Jet stated.
"And it's not like I have anything else going"
"Hey. Don't talk like that. You are the Prime's mate' jet stated.
"Kit is at another base again and Keeper is busy doing prime stuff"
"But I don't think you realize the position you hold. You have great power from being connected to the one who bears the Matrix of leadership' jet stated.
"Most don't even know I'm bonded to keeper'
'I think you should go talk to Mirage, he could give you good hints about being the mate of a prime" jet stated.
"I don't want to bother him"
"You won't bother him, trust me, I know" Jet stated, knowing something that only older mothers knew.
"I guess''
"now if you'll excuse me, I have to get this little one back inside' jet stated, hauling rammer and Ramjet into their quarters. Saber nodded and went on his way.
Mirage was relaxing in his quarters. Pincer and Optimus had gone out with the sparklings, leaving Mirage to just have time to himself. Saber found his feet had brought him to Mirages quarters and he knocked. "Come in' stated Mirage. Saber came in to the home. "Hey, son, what can I do for you?" Mirage asked.
"Jetsetter seemed to think I need to talk with you"
"You're having difficulty adjusting to being mate to the Prime, am I right?" Mirage asked, finally getting his aft off the couch.
Saber nodded. "Kit is at another base and keeper does his prime stuff"
Mirage smiled. "Come, there is much to learn" Mirage stated before taking a thin wire cable out of a strange space and then plugging it into Saber. Mirage began to send data, about how he coped, how he had made it work, and various other things, knowing that while Keeper and Optimus weren't the same, they were very similar. Saber did appreciate the information, the transfer method bothered him. Once the transfer was complete, Mirage shocked saber by saying, 'and now we talk."
Saber nodded a little shaky. "tell me, what questions did you have' Mirage stated, knowing that the file transfer was just an opening.
"What do I even do...?"
Mirage and Saber began chatting away while Keeper, in his office and sick of being there, soon left and went to find his one mate who was still at this base. Saber didn't realize keeper was looking for him. Keeper was slightly disappointed to find no one home, but not willing to leave it at that, he went in search of his mate. Saber said after a while he should probably head home. Mirage let him, knowing that Keeper was probably searching for the bot. Saber headed out then.
After an unsuccessful search, keeper headed back to his room only to meet up with his mate coming back from wherever he had been. "Hi love" Saber said.
Keeper grabbed his mate and held him close, glad that while Kit was away, he had someone to keep him company – as Keeper never really liked being left alone. Saber put his head on keepers shoulder.
"I missed you, love" Keeper stated, just enjoying being close to his mate.
"I missed you too"
"One perk about being prime – if I tell them I want to be left alone except for emergencies, then I get left alone except for emergencies. How is my pretty little Jet-seeker?" keeper asked in the privacy of their quarters.
"Lonely..." Saber said.
"How can I help you to feel less lonely, now that I am here, my love?" Keeper asked, noticing that Saber seemed to be doing some new things, as if coming into his role as the Prime's mate.
"I need you..."
Keeper smiled. "Getting a little bolder are we, my love?" Saber blushed a bit. "Don't be embarrassed. For your boldness is really turning me on' keeper stated, a bump in his groin plating obvious to Saber.
"It is?" Saber asked in surprise.
"Uh huh" Keeper stated, stupidly too turned on to answer any differently. Saber realized he could use this to his advantage, and be the dominant one for once, outside of his heat cycle.
"Then on your back"
"On the floor, the table, or the berth, love?' keeper asked, getting turned on even more.
The table intrigued Saber. "Table and spread." Keeper found himself willingly letting his mate dominate him as he lay on the table, and spread his legs. Lubricant was leaking around his closed groin plating, showing saber just how turned on his mate was. "Open" Saber purred. Slowly Keeper opened his groin plating, which revealed his thick, throbbing spike and his gushing valve. Saber moaned a bit and started to feast on the valve. Keeper moaned in pleasure as his sensitive valve was so expertly feasted on. He was so pleasure shot that instead of yelling out Kit or saber's name, he accidentally shouted Elita's name. Saber paused for a moment but continued.
What Saber didn't know was that was a huge compliment, as Keeper had done that to Kit once and explained that Elita was so good when she was his mate, that to elicit her name out of his memory meant that you were truly mind blowing. Keeper just continued to moan and began to beg, "Please….please….more please." Saber continued to feast before he finally gave keeper his spike. Keeper was basically putty in Saber's hands. Saber had to smile, as he now began to realize just what "power" he and Kit had, and he was relishing it. Keeper moaned, lost in la-la land. Saber eased his spike into keeper and soon thrusted lovingly.
"Frag me…frag me harder…please…I can take it" Keeper begged. Saber gave keeper what he wanted and thrusted faster. Keeper seemed to purr as his engine Rumbled loudly. He was heaving and his frame was on fire. Still, he wasn't going to do anything without a command.
"Touch your spike." Keeper moved his left hand to his spike, and just held the hot, throbbing metal. "Stroke yourself" Saber said as he thrusted. Keeper began pumping and fisting his own spike for all it was worth. He moaned in even more pleasure.
"Are you getting close?" Keeper nodded, not trusting his voice. "Then overload." Keeper, whose frame and systems shook as he blew his load, was getting his own lubricant all over himself. Saber lasted a few more thrusts before overloading. Keeper shook again, feeling the hot lubricant deep in his valve. Saber panted and laid on top of Keeper.
Keeper smiled. 'thank you love, you have no idea how bad I needed that." Saber purred nuzzling. "We will most definitely have to do this again, my love" Keeper stated, kissing his mate gently, unable to close his plating as Saber was still buried within him.
Saber nodded. "Do you want me to pull out?"
"Not just yet, as it feels good to have you inside me' and to illustrate his point, keeper's valve rippled against the partially stiff spike. Saber moaned softly.
'Looks like you've discovered my secret fetish" Keeper stated.
"You like to be taken"
'no, I occasionally like to be dominated" the large bot stated, "I didn't want to tell you, as I didn't think you would believe me. Kit had to discover it on his own as well." Saber nodded in understanding. Saber didn't even realize it until he overloaded again inside Keeper that keeper's valve had still been working on him.
"Your valve is amazing." Keeper smiled. Saber kissed his mate. "Tell me when you want me out of you"
"Any time baby, whenever you are ready" stated keeper. Saber kissed Keeper again before he pulled out. Keeper groaned slightly, but soon grabbed his mate and went to bed. Saber snuggled close.
