The next morning mirage woke up early when he heard a thud. Mirage woke and noticed his mate passed out on the ground, unknowingly from the bot getting too dizzy from getting up too fast. Seeing that Optimus was safe otherwise, Mirage stayed with his mate for awhile, waiting for the bot to wake up.
Optimus groaned and stirred an hour later grumbling. "What the pit..."
"Please don't get mad at me, beloved, but I woke about an hour ago when I heard a thud and I found you passed out on the floor. Has anything like this happened recently?" Mirage asked concerned, not willing to let his mate get up just yet.
"Not mad at you" Optimus said. "I got a little dizzy the other day in my office"
Mirage told his mate to stay put as Mirage waddled off to grab energon, before coming back with four cubes of the stuff. "Now no arguing, drink" Mirage said. Optimus took one look at his mate, and then opened his mouth, unwilling to refuse. And finally, after the fourth cube, Optimus realized he didn't feel so dizzy, which Mirage noticed. Mirage had a feeling of what was going on, but said nothing, as he didn't want to make an incorrect diagnosis, as he was no medic.
Optimus had a nagging feeling too what it was but didn't say anything. "Should I try and get up now or wait"
"Let's wait five minutes, that is your usual pattern" replied Mirage, to which Optimus was surprised, "and then we will get you up slowly. You need to remember to drink your energon." Mirage wanted to say 'because you are carrying', but he refrained, as he didn't think it was possible.
"Your thinking the same too aren't you?" Optimus asked.
Mirage looked into his mate's curious yet worried optics. And not wanting to say it outloud, Mirage used the private comm. 'beloved, I don't think it is in your head, I think you are sparked again, though I can't say for sure."
"And I do not wish to get Ratchet involved yet, he deserves to have a break"
"well, we will treat you like you are sparked until we can get Ratchet to say yay or nay. Now let's get you into bed and I will take care of you" Mirage said over the private comm before getting optimus into the bed and then waddling off to go take care of the sparklings. Before Optimus could even make sense of what happened, Mirage had the sparklings gone and Mirage was there, taking care of Optimus, abdomen sticking out, and legs swollen, but Mirage ignored his own pain and such to take care of his mate.
"Love please lay down with me" Optimus said. "You need to be off your feet"
'I would but I can't dear, as we are out of energon both for us and the sparklings. I dare not send you out in case you have a dizzy spell. Now you stay here. I will be back shortly and if I find you out of this bed, other than to puke or relieve yourself, no interfacing, and I know you get hornier than I do when carrying" replied Mirage, emphasizing his point before leaving and returning. And upon his return, Mirage was happy to see Optimus was still in the bed for once.
Of course he had dozed off and he stirred when he heard something.
Mirage, having put all the needed containers away in the right places, waddled back to see his mate, now awake, and laying in the berth. Mirage's legs were even more swollen, his back was bothering him, and his abdomen was still sticking out, but yet, Mirage was more focused on the comfort of his mate than that of his own.
"Come to bed" Optimus said not onlining his optics.
Mirage didn't want to, but as he got closer to see if his mate was really asleep or not, Mirage felt his mate's strong, loving arms hoist the illusionist into bed. "you weren't really sleeping were you?" asked Mirage, not really fighting, just wanting to be sure his mate was safe and sound.
"Dozing, there's a difference at least I think so"
Mirage smiled before curling up into his mate as much as he could. The next thing Optimus heard was his mate's even breathing, and Optimus soon joined his mate, as both rested.
Jazz had decided that even though he had a 'visor' he was going to hang out in his shared quarters as much as he could and mostly tended to the sparklings since he and Prowl were having issues.
Prowl was in his office. He wanted to be with his mate, as he missed Jazz, but Jazz had temporarily kicked him out of their shared quarters, just until Prowl learned his lesson, though which lesson, Prowl was not sure of.
Jazz played with his children and tried not to just give in and comm Prowl.
Prowl was cold and lonely, as he wasn't even able to see his sparklings. Prowl realized that he had hurt Jazz in some way, but wasn't sure how, but wanting to make amends, prowl tried to contact Jazz, only to find Jazz refused to respond. Prowl began to cry, as this was wearing down on him.
Jazz was feeling a bit dizzy as he put the sparklings down for their nap and shook his head trying to clear it. He tried making it to the couch but the world began to spin too much and he went down hitting his helm on a table they had and he lay still.
Starlight and Silverstar, who had watched Jazz go down, were so off. Silverstar went to go talk to Wingspan while Starlight went to go get Prowl. Both knew it was important that Jazz get help right away.
Starlight pulled on Prowl's hand trying to get him to come with. "Mama needs help, mama hurt"
Prowl roused from his stupor and soon followed little Starlight, hoping that what she said was not true and that Jazz was not injured, but that would not be what Prowl found when he finally went back into their shared quarters.
Jazz was still motionless on the floor and Wingspan was on his way having been found by Silverstar.
As Prowl approached the shared Quarters, he saw that his other oldest twin was bringing Wingspan. this was not a good sign and Prowl soon ran in to the quarters to find Jazz motionless on the floor. "Wingspan, please, help me"
"What happened" Wingspan asked as he rushed over and helped his father.
"I don't know. I wasn't here when it happened. Starlight came and found me. Maybe she and her twin know what happened" replied Prowl.
"We need to get him to the med bay" Wingspan said. "Light what happened sweetsspark"
"Mama got really dizzy and then crashed into the table' replied Starlight, at which Silverstar nodded. Prowl Swore under his breath, feeling like this was all his fault.
"Papa, come on we have to get mama to the med bay" Wingspan said.
Prowl snapped out of his pity party and began helping, moving Jazz quickly to the med bay. What both didn't realize was that the only medic on was First Aid, as Ratchet was off after having just recently sparked twin sparklings.
As much as Wingspan liked First Aid he knew his mama needed Ratchet, rushing out he ran to the medics quarters and hit the chime.
Bee opened the door, and seeing the panic look in Wingspan's face, Bee immediately called for Ratchet. Ratchet was a little tired, but after Wingspan explained what was going on, both Ratchet and Wingspan were running back to the med bay as Prowl had remained with Jazz in the med bay.
Jazz still hadn't come around and Ratchet rushed over.
Ratchet asked what had happened, and the little twin femmes who had gotten Prowl and Wingspan explained what had happened, and so Ratchet looked at Jazz's help, looking for what was causing the pressure, and in finding an area that should have had its little "door" open with the "door" close, ratchet not only opened the "door" he found the issue of what had refused to keep holding it open and soon replaced that as well. Needless to say, Jazz was shocked when he finally woke up.
Jazz was very confused when he woke up and found he was in the med bay. "Wh..."
Prowl remained silently at his mate's side while the twins told their mommy what had happened.
"You did good babies" Jazz said and he looked at Ratchet. "What was wrong with me?"
"had to replace the magnet in the area that keeps the pressure door near your optics open to help keep off the pressure. You should be good for a while" replied Ratchet, completely unaware that Optimus had visited the med bay at an earlier point in time and was misdiagnosed.
"Thanks Ratch man for comin off your leave just to tend to me"
"I am never really off, and your case required more experience. I just hope nothing else has come through or comes through that needed me to check on it" replied Ratchet, about to be shocked.
"Uhm…ratchet, Optimus stopped by not too long ago complaining of feeling off. I told him it was all in his head, but he didn't seem to believe me' stated Aid, making Ratchet mad, as only he should have worked on Optimus, as Optimus was far too complicated a case for First Aid.
Ratchet grumbled to himself as he grabbed a few things and went straight to Optimus's quarters and hit the chime.
Mirage, hearing the chime, got up and waddled to the door, leaving his dizzy sleeping mate in bed. "Ratchet? I thought you had time off?"
"I do, but there was an emergency and I was just informed about Optimus being wrong in the head basically. Where is he"
"He is in bed. I had to give him four energon cubes today after he passed out on the floor after a dizzy spell. Plus he is a bit more touchy feely than normal" stated Mirage, as he told Ratchet everything Optimus had told him. Needless to say, Ratchet was even more worried.
Ratchet went into the berth room and started to scan Optimus head to foot. When he checked the results again and again he just rubbed his temple.
"Is he sparked, again, ratchet?" asked Mirage, completely catching ratchet off guard.
"He is, but how is what I want to know" Ratchet said. "With you being sparked he should not have been able to get sparked"
Mirage had no idea either, as he didn't even know that they weren't supposed to be sparked at the same time. 'well, one time when I was letting me take him, we merged our sparks, might that be it. and yes, I was carrying when it happened" stated Mirage.
"Mirage it is was now supposed to be impossible for two sparkmates to be sparked at the same time. It is unheard of"
"But I only have 2-3 months to go, and he is just starting. I don't see the problem' replied Mirage.
"Mirage listen to me, with you being sparked the only way Optimus should be sparked would be if he had been raped by someone and they forced a spark merge. A sparked mate cannot, or rather now can apparently, be able to get their mate sparked"
Ratchet had just said the wrong thing, and as Mirage felt overwhelmed with a mood swing of sadness and hurt, Optimus awoke, and without even asking any questions, Ratchet found himself pinned against the wall by a very angry leader. "How dare you hurt my sparkmate"
Mirage still crying wasn't able to get Optimus to stop and Ratchet was in one precarious position.
"Let go you big lummox, it's not good for you or the sparklings you carry and so help me I will bang a wrench into that thick helm of yours if you do not release me this instant"
Optimus instantly released Ratchet, causing the medic to fall squarely on his aft. Optimus was confused – he and his sparkmate carrying sparklings at the same time?
'Optimus" Mirage said, getting himself back together, 'you are carrying sparklings."
"But how?"
"That's what I was telling your mate it shouldn't be possible" Ratchet said getting to his feet gingerly. Your sparked its three same as before now if there is nothing else. I plan on going back to bed"
"No there is nothing further, ratchet" Mirage said, "we're sorry to have even disturbed you for this"
"I had already been disturbed because of Jazz when Aid told me about Optimus having come in, you two should know what to do"
Mirage nodded, he was a little worried about Jazz, but Optimus's tear-filled optics drew Mirage's attention back to his mate. "I am here, sweet spark' Mirage said as he gently wiped the tears away from his mate's optics.
"Get some rest both of you" Ratchet said before leaving and Optimus couldn't stop himself from crying.
After Ratchet left, Mirage tried to comfort his mate. 'what's wrong, my love, talk to me" Mirage stated as he wrapped his arm around his mate, and kissed his mate on the helm.
Optimus couldn't put it into words and he sent Mirage what he was feeling over their bond, he was scared, he was horny, he was emotional and he had attacked Ratchet.
Mirage finally decided to get Optimus back in the berth. Optimus felt horrible, but mirage wanted to help. and so mirage began something that while it was new, it relaxed his mate. And after 15 minutes of the technique, Mirage stopped. "I know you are scared, love, but please tell me what I can do to make you feel better."
"Just...let me hold you" Optimus said.
Mirage nodded and soon climbed into the bed, trying to make sure he was in the best position, and soon Mirage found himself being lovingly held by his mate.
Holding Mirage close Optimus slowly drifted off.
Mirage drifted off as well, not sure how to handle all of this, but knowing he had to be strong.
Back in the med bay Jazz and Prowl were finally talking, Wingspan taking his siblings.
"Jazz, I-I'm sorry. I know I have hurt you somehow, and I ask for your forgiveness" stated Prowl down on his knees.
"Prowler...get up would you" Jazz said.
Prowl quickly honored his mate's request, trying his best to show his mate that they still belonged together.
"You never came back for me Prowler" Jazz said softly.
"because Wingspan had passed out and I was trying to get energon in him and by the time he was coming around, you came back, thanks to Mirage. I am sorry, my love' replied Prowl.
"You should have commed me Prowler" Jazz said. "Especially when it comes to Wingspan"
"I tried to, but you refused to answer, seems you were busy with something, what I don't know"
"Prowler I never recieved a comm" Jazz said.
"I wonder if that mysterious appearing visor is the culprit. Take it off' requested for prowl, not realizing that Jazz couldn't just take it off, only Mirage could turn it off, and right now Mirage was off duty and probably sleeping.
"Prowler...I can't this isn't a real visor" Jazz said. "Its an illusion to keep my secret safe"
Prowl was shocked. "How is this even possible?' asked Prowl, worried.
"Mirage is somehow doing it for me, he wouldn't tell me how he's doing it just that he can maintain it for a long time"
Prowl sighed, he had always been so hard on Mirage, never willing to just see that Mirage was trying hard to prove he was worthy of someone's love. "Wow" was all Prowl could say.
"Yeah, he's my son as much as Wingspan is, as all our children are a part of me. He called me mother; he didn't even call his own creator that"
Prowl was floored, as he still had so much to learn about Jazz's adopted son of Mirage. Prowl still couldn't help but feel slightly envious that Mirage had ended up with Optimus, but Prowl also realized he had a ways to go if he wanted to show his mate he was serious about their family, including the two oldest and the seekers.
"Sweet spark that he is he doesn't want anyone that doesn't need to know about my...issue to know about it"
Prowl thought about it, and Mirage had done this without asking in order to keep Jazz safe. It made Prowl wonder what else Mirage had done to keep things secret, besides Optimus's (1st) pregnancy. But in looking at his mate, Prowl was just happy that Jazz seemed happy. "Let's go home" stated Prowl.
Jazz nodded and let Prowl help him up and they went back to their quarters.
Elsewhere, Wingspan was resting after having had another seeker lesson, with Hot Rod and TC helping him relax, even as the younger seeker had trouble finding a comfortable position on the couch.
"I can't find a comfortable spot" Wingspan grumbled.
Hot Rod tried but was getting frustrated until TC suggested that they try the berth and allowing Wingspan to flex his wings a bit. Hot Rod agreed. And soon Wingspan was on the berth, with Hot Rod and TC rubbing his wings, not in a sensual way, but in a soothing way that soon helped the bot to relax. "Is this better, sweet spark?" Hot Rod asked, slightly embarrassing his mate in front of TC.
Wingspan nodded. "Much love"
TC watched Hot Rod's technique. It was ok, but not the best. TC soon took Hot Rod under his wing and began to teach him the best way to stroke Wingspan's wings without being foreplay. Hot Rod tried the new technique, and soon not only was Wingspan purring, he was sound asleep. "Wow' stated Hot Rod, "How did you know that would work on him?"
"Simple" replied TC, "because the same technique works on my systems, and Wingspan got part of his data from me."
"He's learning a lot" TC said gently caressing the sleeping Wingspans helm.
"Do you think that I should be worried about all this?" asked Hot Rod, unsure of what he could trust about the seekers being Autobots after having recently been raped by two triple former cons.
"Can you be a little more specific Hot Rod?" TC asked he wanted to be clear on what the other was asking.
"Forgive me, as I don't want to offend you, but should I worry about him being taught to be a seeker? Will he leave the Autobots? Will he leave me and our sparklings?" Hot Rod was worried, and TC, seeing what was bothering Hot Rod, soon did his best to soothe the nervous bot.
"Hot Rod, your fears are understandable, but not all seekers were evil before the war. Some of us...we thought Megatron was right about things we were young and stupid, I do not believe for one astrosecond that he would ever leave you or the Autobots. He is an Autobot to the core and would you have him not learn what is a part of him? What makes him him?" TC asked the last part referring to the seeker training.
Hot Rod, upon hearing what TC said, felt a bit better. "no, I want him to learn to be all he can, I just want to make sure it won't change who he is on the inside" replied Hot Rod, as he hugged TC in appreciation.
TC returned the hug. "Seekers were always guardians in some way or form, but a lot of us lost our way and those that didn't choose sides were killed by Megatron. You have nothing to fear regarding Wingspan, he is an Autobot"
Hot Rod smiled. "Will you teach our seekerlings as well? And maybe the other seekerlings around here? Well, I am not sure how mini seekerlings are different, but would be willing to work with them as well, as most of us have no clue how to raise seekers' Hot Rod said, as he stroked his mate's wing lightly.
"I will and my trine as well, when we're finished the seekers will be a force to be reckoned with like we used to be"
"Just remember not to close the rest of us out, as we love our sparklings, be they seekerlings or not" replied Hot Rod, concerned that the seekers would cut everyone on both sides out once they became strong again.
TC gave Hot Rod an almost sour look. "I will have you know Hot Rod seekers are the protectors of sparklings we would die to save them, we are not about to corrupt them."
"That is not what I meant' quickly replied Hot Rod, not wanting a seeker angry at him, "I just meant that I hope the seekers don't all get together and isolate all the other Autobots out, as some of our own sparklings are seekerlings." It was then that TC understood what Hot Rod meant, and reassured the bot.
"We have no need to isolate ourselves, we are Autobots. You need not be concerned' replied TC, settling down.
"Do you need anything?" TC asked since Wingspan was sleeping.
"would you mind taking the sparklings, so that I could rest with my mate?" Hot Rod asked quietly, hoping TC wouldn't be mad.
"Of course" TC said and gave Hot Rods shoulder a gentle squeeze before he left the room and called the little ones.
Hot Rod thanked TC before he snuggled up with his mate and fell asleep.
"come, little ones" TC said, "Time for more fun" which was what TC called the lessons he taught not only the seekerlings but also the sparklings who were not seekers. And soon, all five sparklings had attached themselves to TC, causing the old bot to smile as Tango led the charge.
"Alright now if I'm to walk we have to rearrange here" TC said and shifted the sparklings around. "There we go now hold on" He said before he started walking.
And while TC was having fun with the batch of sparklings he had agreed to watch, Starscream was sitting in the shared quarters with Skyfire when little Seaspan and Bluefire, still showing their injuries, showed up, having wanted to see Skyfire. Starscream could only imagine why the two little seekerling's wings and boosters were so heavily damaged, even though neither Skyfire nor Starscream realized that this was way after the incident had happened and the wings were healing. "Fire! Fire!" screamed both as they ran up to the shuttle, not seeing that Starscream was in the room.
"Well hello little bots" Skyfire said kneeling down for them. "What can I do for you"
"We better, so we finally allowed to see you, and so we here" stated the little twins, smiling even though their injuries looked painful.
"I'm glad to hear that" Skyfire said and carefully picked the two little ones up.
Upon hearing that, Starscream had to ask, "What happened to you two?"
Seaspan dug his little faceplate into Skyfire, while Bluefire told the seeker, "big adult poured acid over our wings and boosters, and burned our brother Flasher big time, all the time saying mommy didn't keep the secret he was supposed to." Both Skyfire and Starscream were appalled. "but daddy dealt with said bot and bot is no more."
'Its good your daddy dealt with the bot or else I was going to" Starscream said and gently rubbed both tiny helms.
"Don't worry" came a new voice, as Warp had returned, 'I got in a few good blows for us. Magnus is now gone after severely burning Flasher, Seaspan, and Bluefire as well as crushing and snapping Mirage's knee joints. Boy I didn't know a bot could be so low."
"Ah, but that is what the cons are like" stated Skyfire, making Star and Warp glad that they were no longer cons.
"Hmmm, I think I can help the growth of their wings go better" Starscream said as he gently looked at the twins backs.
"If you can, I know that would make Mirage and Optimus feel a lot better, as they are both worried about Flasher, who is still in the med bay, as well as the fact that Mirage is heavily sparked" replied Warp, saddening both Skyfire and Starscream, who knew that such young sparklings should never have had to deal with such violence.
Over their private comm channel he asked Warp if he knew of Flashers injures what they were.
Warp responded to Starscream by telling the other seeker that Flasher apparently had been dropped into a vat of acid, burning about 45 percent of his thin metallic skin, exposing wires and other circuitry, though thankfully Flasher had managed to get out before the acid ate through to his spark casing or his processor. Still, in describing what he had seen, Warp gave Starscream a pretty good idea of just how injured Flasher had been.
He told Warp he might be able to help him too but he had to go to the lab.
Warp smiled, before telling out loud something that Skyfire and Starscream were reluctant to hear. "Wow, those two have healed quite a bit." Sky and Star looked at Warp, as the injuries they saw now were bad enough.
"You mean it was a lot worse than this?" asked Skyfire to Warp, who nodded, and once the twins' optics were hidden, revealed video of just how awful it had truly been, as well as how bad Flasher had been. Needless to say, Skyfire and Starscream were speechless for a time.
"Rest assured little ones I'm going to do what I can to help you and your brother" Starscream said determined now and went to the lab.
Meanwhile, Mirage sent his sparklings off again, not sure what to do, as his mate was still asleep. Mirage quickly did what he could to straighten the place and do things like normal, even though he was heavily sparked, so that by the time his mate was up, Mirage was ready to handle it. And after cleaning, Mirage found his mate still sleeping, and so, unsure if his mate was low on energon, Mirage whipped up a sparkling safe energon slurry for his mate and shot it into an area where he knew his mate would get it sooner rather than later. And as Mirage stepped out of the berth room to do a few things, Optimus slowly roused, still in shock form the news Ratchet had given him.
Rubbing his helm he tried to wrap his processor around what Ratchet had told him and his hand ended up resting on his not yet there sparkling bump.
Mirage heard his mate rouse, but waited a few more minutes before going in, as he knew that only after a couple of minutes would Optimus need to get up and purge his tanks. And after a couple more minutes, Mirage made his way in to see Optimus trying to make his way to the waste receptacle to purge his tanks, and Mirage was soon behind his mate slightly to the side, helping Optimus even though the position put more pain and pressure on Mirage's system than he was used to. Mirage had figured since he had had several batches of sparklings, he was fine in helping Optimus who had only had one set before this and was still new to the whole experience.
Optimus managed to get his balance after a few moments and made it the rest of the way and was soon purging his tanks.
Mirage got in behind and to the side of his mate, trying to offer comfort to his mate, even though Mirage's swollen abdomen made it more difficult for the illusionist to get in the position. And Mirage stayed put while Optimus purged his tanks, offering comfort and support.
"Thank you" Optimus managed when he finally found his voice. "You shouldn't be down like this my love"
"You needed me, beloved, and I am not going to deny you support and comfort merely because I am heavily sparked' replied Mirage as he gently wiped the purged contents off his mate's faceplates with love.
"I don't know what I did to deserve you" Optimus said as Mirage wiped his face plates off.
"No, my love, I don't know what I ever did to deserve you, as I was such a screw off' replied Mirage, as he gently stroked his mate's helm to calm him down before helping him up.
"You were young, still a youngling" Optimus said and was soon back on his feet.
"I guess I grew up faster than I thought" replied Mirage as he assisted his mate to the bed. "I still remember thinking that you looked so hot when I first saw you with your mask off, but I thought you would never want me, as I was too young and reckless. I never would have guessed that after I became an adult and came in covered in mud that you would fall for me."
"I had been fascinated with you for a long time, you and I had such different lives growing up. I ended up being nothing more then a dock worker."
"But you had something I never felt I had, my beloved. You were loved, I could tell. My parents never spent any time with me, except for my father the last few years, as I became his seeing optic "pet" as he was too cheap to buy something else" stated Mirage, surprising Optimus, as he now realized why Mirage never talked about his original creators.
"They are the past there are so many around here who love you"
"I know, my sweet, I know. Jazz, Wingspan, and you are the biggest, and I love all three of you with all my spark. And my first friend, Hot Rod, I owe a lot to too. And now you can see why I never talk about my original creators, and always refer to jazz as my mom, as he was the first one to take me in and love me like a son. But enough, you need to get to bed and get some of my special energon slurry" stated Mirage.
"Will you rest with me my love" Optimus asked as he eased onto the berth.
'not just yet, as there is still much to do, and I refuse to allow you to get out of that bed other than to purge or relieve yourself as you are too unsteady on your feet. You rest, I have to go to your office real quick and take care of some things. You better be in an approved place when I get back, or no interfacing" stated Mirage as he made sure his mate was comfortable before he left, leaving plenty of energon and such within Optimus's reach.
He loved his mate dearly but he didn't want him doing much and he felt guilty laying in their berth while Mirage went and did things.
But every time Optimus tried to get up, he felt dizzy as hell, and immediately went back to lying down. Mirage was right in keeping Optimus in the bed, even if the bot didn't like it.
In Optimus's office, Mirage looked at what his mate had been working on. And as he looked at it, he called in Prowl to discuss what was going on and what was being done. Prowl was thrown off a bit by meeting with Mirage, but with as informed as Mirage was, Prowl knew that the bot was serious. And soon, after Mirage had made the plans and actions and took care of a few other things that his mate would have done, Mirage was satisfied and then headed back to their shared quarters to check on how Optimus was doing.
Optimus was still on the berth, though he had tried getting up more than once before he gave up on it.
'Optimus, beloved, are you okay?" Mirage asked as the door shut and Mirage headed back to his dizzy mate.
"Just dizzy love" Optimus said.
Mirage nodded, not wanting to tell his mate what he had done, and began to massage his mate, making Optimus realize just how horny he really was and how well his mate knew him.
"Mirage if you keep this up" Optimus gave fair warning.
Mirage knew exactly what he was doing, and he was riling his mate up intentionally, to prevent Optimus from asking what Mirage had done, as Prowl and Mirage had decided to make a move that night on a con installation. Mirage knew the longer he could keep his mate horny, the less chance Optimus would find out until the mission was completed, and so Mirage began to go in for the kill, by using his soft, warm metallic tongue and making it dance gracefully and tease Optimus just above his interfacing array guard. Plus the fact that Mirage was horny as well would make this plan work well.
Optimus was moaning and kept begging his mate for more as his systems heated up.
Mirage continued until he felt himself being hoisted up. Mirage looked down to see his mate, optics full of lust, pull the illusionist down until their lips met. Mirage was glad that as of yet, Optimus had not found out, and so mirage continued his ministrations even as other bots fought to destroy the con instillation that had been approved.
"oh, Optimus, you are such a tease" Mirage stated as Optimus lightly brushed against Mirage's sparkling bump and aft at the same time.
"You started this my lovely mate" Optimus said as he caressed his mates bump.
"I know" stated Mirage, who while enjoying Optimus teasing his sparkling bump, was teasing Optimus's cable with his port and when not doing that, was teasing Optimus's port with his cable, as if asking which Optimus wanted and Optimus was having trouble making up his mind.
"Nnnn, please Mirage please anything" Optimus moaned.
Mirage smiled as he used his own hardened arousal to thrust into his mate just as far away the Autobots were blowing the installation to kingdom come and the cons had been defeated again. Mirage continued to slowly thrust into his mate, even as a secret comm let Mirage know that the mission had been a success. And with that, Mirage began to pump faster and with more force, driving his mate wild.
Optimus moaned and rubbed Mirage's sparkling bump as his mate thrust in and out of him.
And soon, the two overloaded and overloaded hard. And as they were coming down from the overload, bots could be heard shouting and jeering, leaving Optimus wondering what had happened.
"Mirage? Did I miss something?"
"Oh nothing major' Mirage said, still not wanting to tell his mate what he had done, afraid that Optimus would be mad at him.
Outside their quarters, bots were cheering and Huffer and Cliffjumper were too loud and began to talk about the thrill of blowing up the instillation that Optimus had been planning for months, still having not yet deciding when to do it.
Optimus looked at his mate not mad but was confused beyond all get out. "Care to explain my love"
Mirage sighed, he was left with no choice. "Optimus, while you were resting earlier, I went to your office and took care of a few things…" is how Mirage started, seeing that Optimus was getting antsy and angry.
"Mirage I love you dearly but why did you do it"
"because I didn't want you to go out there and get hurt or killed or get captured by the cons again, my beloved' Mirage said optics cast down and to one side. Was it so bad to want his spark mate safe especially when carrying?
Optimus took his mates hand in his own. "My love, look at me"
Mirage looked back, tears in his optics, afraid of what his mate was going to say. Mirage assumed that his mate would tell him he was being selfish and reckless. "'Yes sir" was all Mirage said.
"I love you sweet spark" Optimus said and caressed his mates cheek. "Its alright"
Mirage, still crying, told his mate of talking with Prowl and how the two of them had decided that tonight was the night. "I know you wanted to lead it and help, but when Prowl said tonight was the best night, I jumped at the chance to tell him to go ahead but that you wouldn't be available due to an short illness, and he said he could find other bots. And I guess, judging by the cheers, the mission was successful, sir."
"Stop calling me sir my love" Optimus said and wiped the tears away.
"Yes dear' Mirage said, making Optimus realize that Mirage knew what he did was wrong and acquiescing to his mate's request. Optimus realized that he was going to have to show Mirage that while he was mad at first, he understood why Mirage had done what he did. And that only meant one thing.
Optimus started kissing Mirage and caressed him gently.
Mirage's tears began to dry up and he began to mewl slightly, which Optimus knew meant that Mirage was starting to get warmed up.
Optimus continued to caress his mate and kiss him.
Mirage moaned and allowed his mate to ravish him.
Optimus made sure his mate overloaded as many times as he could.
Finally, after having had several overloads, and coming back from a short stasis lock stint, Mirage came back to see that his mate was spoiling him with the attention. "You're not mad at me, love?"
"I was at first but I understand your reasoning so I'm not mad"
"I am sorry, I was not trying to usurp your leadership, I was just going with what I thought you would want, my beloved. Please forgive me" replied Mirage.
"Mirage never would I think you were trying to usurp my leadership" Optimus said. "And you know me better then I realize, it's alright and your forgiven if that is what you need to hear"
Mirage smiled and accidentally rubbed his abdomen against where Optimus's bump would grow. "I love you, beloved" Mirage said, turning bright red from the touching.
"We're a right pair aren't we" Optimus purred.
'That we are, but how are we going to explain to the officers that you are expecting again, especially if we do it before I spark these two?" Mirage asked as he patted his stomach.
"We'll wait, if its like before I'll be able to hide it for a time physically"
Mirage nodded. 'Beloved, if you are feeling up to it, I think we should go check on Flasher."
Optimus nodded. "As long as we go slow"
Mirage nodded, stating, "that we will my dear, that we will" and soon both headed to the med bay, and boy were they in for a surprise when they got there.
Starscream was there with Flasher and gently working on the little one who was looking much better.
"Mommy! Daddy!" shouted Flasher, surprising even Starscream, who turned around to see that Optimus and Mirage had made their daily trip into the med bay.
Mirage began to shed a few tears, happy to see his son was doing better.
"You startled me" Starscream said. "I hope you do not mind me working on him"
Mirage quickly shook his head before heading to his precious son. Optimus stayed back a bit, as he could tell Starscream had more to say. "we don't mind, as he has been out for so long. Thank you, Starscream" Optimus said.
Starscream nodded and went back to what he was doing as the two approached.
"why is mommy crying" asked Flasher, not understanding.
"Mommy is crying happy tears, little one" replied Mirage, smiling through the tears.
"There are sad tears and happy ones" Starscream explained to Flasher.
Flasher nodded as he felt his mother's hand stroke his helm and faceplates. 'oh little one, I thought we had lost you' stated Mirage.
"He's too tough to offline" Starscream mumbled softly.
Flasher nodded excitedly – he knew he was tough! "I can handle anything mommy. I'm strong" Flasher said, his resilience and tenacity shining in his larger than expected personality.
"But you still need to learn to listen, as we don't want to test that all the time, because one of these times it might not work. Understand, my little one?" Mirage asked, to which Flasher nodded, as Mirage had put it in a way Flasher would understand.
Starscream finished what he was doing. "That is all I can do for now"
'Thank you for all you have done, Starscream. Now that you have little ones of your own, I am sure you can understand just how precious each and every one of them are" replied Mirage, his gratefulness showing in his bright optics.
"I still have to tend to your seekerlings" Starscream said rising.
"Speaking of the seekerlings, where are they at?" asked Mirage.
"With Skyfire and Warp" Starscream said. "Well the last time I saw them"
"Go figure" stated Mirage. "Come on Optimus, since Flasher is doing well, let's check in on our other sparklings and then we can go back and rest, ok?"
Optimus nodded and nuzzled Flasher for a few minutes before they followed Starscream.
Flasher, having had all the excitement he could stand for the time being soon fell asleep. And as Mirage and Optimus went around, they found all their sparklings were doing fine, and so Optimus and Mirage felt good but tired by the time they got back to their quarters. And tired though he was, Mirage made sure to take care of his mate first, making sure Optimus got his energon drink first and got into bed before Mirage took care of himself.
Starscream tended to the little seekerlings wings and thrusters before he ended up collapsing.
Skyfire, having been with Starscream at the time, was worried when he saw Starscream collapse. Skyfire took some energon he had brought with him and poured some into Starscream's systems, but it seemed to do little good. And so, not sure what else to do, Skyfire sought out Ratchet, as Ratchet was the only one skilled enough to work with seekers. And Skyfire knocked upon the door, with Mirage's twin seekerlings staying by his side as he carried Starscream.
"Sorry for disturbing you Bee" Skyfire said, as Bee answered the door, "But Starscream has to see Ratchet, as the seeker passed out and did not revive after I gave him a huge cube of energon."
"Come in Sky it's alright set him there on the couch" Bee said while he went and got Ratchet telling him what had happened.
Ratchet soon came out to see Starscream passed out with Skyfire fussing a bit over the bot with little Seaspan and Bluefire staying right by Skyfire's side, as if their lives depended on it. "How can I help you Skyfire?"
"Starscream just collaspsed he helped the little ones then he just collapsed I gave him a huge cube of energon but he's still not waking. You're the only one skilled enough with seekers"
Ratchet nodded. He hated that he was given time off, though he had to admit getting a little rest was nice. Nevertheless, Ratchet assessed the seeker. Ratchet found a small leak that was preventing Starscream from keeping all his energon in. And as soon as ratchet found it, he fixed it, but that was just the start, as Ratchet knew, and having a strange feeling, Ratchet scanned the seeker's abdomen, only to find something no one expected, Starscream was expecting, yet again. "sky, Starscream is sparked."
To say Skyfire was shocked was an understatement. "How far along"
"Recent, as the sparks are not even separated yet" replied ratchet.
Skyfire just rubbed the side of his helm as he tried to remember when any of them has made love let alone have a spark merge.
"but there is more, Skyfire, as while the sparks have not separated yet, these sparklings were created before that and were held in suspended animation for a time, I'd say about 1 month ago" replied Ratchet, which puzzled both the medic and Skyfire, as while they had interfaced all four of them a month ago, none had ever heard of a suspended animation sparking.
"How is that even possible..." Skyfire brilliant though he was was dumbfounded.
"I can't say, as there are many secrets about seekers that remain unknown. They are a special breed of transformer, and this, while rumored, has never been documented before" replied ratchet, trying to figure this out himself.
Skyfire commed Warp and TC and asked them if at all possible to come to Ratchet's quarters.
TC and Warp soon made their way to the quarters, TC after dropping his grand sparklings off with another bot. "You called for us" stated TC, wondering what they were needed for.
Skyfire informed them of what Ratchet had told him.
"that is not unusual when a seeker sparks again while already carrying other sparklings' replied TC. "It happens often when a seeker spark merges when they are carrying"
"I think you had better explain this to me" Ratchet said.
TC and Warp went on to explain the strange phenomenon to the befuddled medic and their fourth mate. And TC ended, "I was sparked by this as my mother creator lost her first set and her body had saved three sparks in suspended animation and I was one of them. My two brother seekers refused to join the war and were slaughtered by Megatron. After seeing what happened to them, I joined the cons for fear of my life as well as I thought they were the good guys."
"So you're telling me that Starscream was pregnant then somehow got pregnant again? And his body suspended these sparks"
"Precisely" was all TC would say, and Warp nodded.
"I need some high grade" Ratchet grumbled.
TC and Warp looked at each other while Skyfire asked another question, "Can any seeker do this at any time?"
TC shook his head, "No, it depends on the circumstances, and usually it is only to back up the sparklings that they are already carrying. It is rare that once the first set is sparked that the 'back up' set survives, but it does happen."
"Ratchet says these have been suspended for a month and I want to know when was he pregnant expect by Megatron" Skyfire said.
'Megatron forced a spark merge, and that would never produce a back up set, only true love would form a back up set" stated Warp, who had also been a seekerling of a "back up" set.
Skyfire was still confused and was about ready to have some high grade himself. "So this is the back up set?"
"No, this was caused because the four of us bonded and merged our sparks. This is not a back up set for the previous sparklings. This was suspended, as Starscream's spark knew this was from his mates. This set could potentially have a back up set even though Starscream was the only seekerling in his triplet sparking to survive, and all five of the others either weren't viable or died shortly after birth. He was not in the back up set, but the problem was his mother's back up set grew at the same time as the regular set. Starscream was lucky to have survived, as his mother creator was killed at his sparking" replied TC, revealing more about seekers than Skyfire or Ratchet realized.
"So because he was pregnant at the time we spark merged the sparklings he carries now are the ones he would have become pregnant with then had he not already been sparked. Right?" Skyfire wanted to make sure he understood.
"Exactly" stated TC, "and these are ours."
"You know the two of you and Ratchet are going to have to have a long talk about seekers" Skyfire said.
"we are more than willing to talk, tell him anything he needs to know. All he might have to do is come to one of the sessions we have with the seekerlings and Wingspan and he would learn more about us" replied TC, surprising Skyfire who had no idea his sparkmates were so actively involved with the Autobots.
Skyfire nodded and so did Ratchet who said he wanted to get more energon inside of Starscream.
TC and warp watched, and cozied up to Skyfire who looked as confused as confused could be.
"Every day it seems I get a new surprise" Skyfire told them.
"You don't regret bonding with us, do you, 'fire?" asked Warp worriedly.
"No" Skyfire said and kissed Warp softly. "You three are certainly making my life interesting"
And as the energon started flowing, Starscream was slowly coming back around. "Ugh…what happened to me?"
"You collapsed after taking care of the little ones, I brought you to Ratchet who fixed a small leak and discovered something"
"What was discovered, my dear?" asked Starscream, not ready for the answer he was about to receive.
"Seems you had some sparklings in suspended animation that aren't suspended anymore, your sparked my love"
In shock from what he heard, Screamer passed out. TC and warp just shook their heads, as Screamer was known for being over dramatic at times, but they didn't realize that this truly had shocked the poor bot.
Skyfire gently caressed Starscream's cheek.
Starscream soon onlined again, his mind reeling from what he had been told. "Is it true, is it really true?"
"Its true but these sparklings belong to us, it was the love the four of us share that did this or so I have been told"
Starscream let out a huge sigh of relief, "I hope they all survive till sparking" stated screamer, as only he and his fellow seekers were aware of just how dangerous this type of pregnancy could be, or so he thought.
"They will, you will see" Skyfire said. "For now I'll ask TC and Warp to take the little ones then I'll take care of you"
"Are you sure they can take on that many?" asked Starscream.
"Star, settle down, we will rotate taking care of you and the sparklings, but it will be easier if we take the sparklings and Skyfire cares for you. But don't worry, we will be around to help you out with your needs as well" stated TC as he winked.
Starscream relaxed. 'OK, now can I go home?" he asked.
Skyfire looked to Ratchet for that answer.
Ratchet gave his instructions regarding restrictions, activity, and the like, and then, and only then did Ratchet discharge the seeker into the care of his three mates.
Skyfire didn't want Starscream to get tired to he picked him up and carried him.
Almost forgotten, Seaspan and Bluefire tried to follow Skyfire and his mates, only to be caught by Bee. "I know you want to go with them, little ones, but they need some time alone. Why don't you play with Blackhawk and his siblings?" Bee asked. The Twins looked at each other, unsure until little Blackhawk came to get them. And just like that, the twins were playing and Skyfire and his mates did not have to worry about them.
Bee kept watch over the sparklings and told Ratchet to rest a bit more.
Meanwhile, as TC and Warp watched the 9 seekerlings, Skyfire placed Starscream in the bed, the shuttle still trying to get his head around what had happened, when he found that Starscream was teasing a very very sensitive spot on the shuttle's body. Starscream knew what he wanted, and was hoping Skyfire was getting the message.
Skyfire couldn't stop the moan that escaped his lips. "Star...are you sure"
Starscream lowered his hand until it was playing with the metal that guarded Skyfire's most intimate area, and began teasing it relentlessly as much as he could, letting Skyfire know in no uncertain terms what the seeker needed at that moment.
"Star...spread your legs a bit" Skyfire said his voice a bit husky.
Starscream spread his legs wider than Skyfire realized the seeker could spread them, leaving ample space for the shuttle. Skyfire was surprised to see the seeker's cable hard as steel leaking lubricant as well as the seeker's port dripping lubrication fluids. Starscream was begging with moans and mewls as well as playing with his mate.
Skyfire took his time though and made sure Starscream was well lubricated and stretched for him. "Easy my love I want to make sure your ready for me"
Starscream moaned as Sky played with him. "Please…Please..ugh ngh take me please, fire" begged Starscream through pleasured moans.
When Skyfire felt that Starscream was ready then he started easing into his bonded not wanting to hurt him.
Starscream writhed in pure pleasure as Skyfire slowly took him, feeling nodes light up that he seldom felt light up. "Oh fire! More… more …. More" was all Starscream could say.
Skyfire smiled and kissed Starscream as he continued to move slowly.
Starscream wanted to hold out, but he couldn't as the feelings felt so good he overloaded twice and was going onto a third as Skyfire continued pumping in and out. 'oh fire, I'm so needy… feel so good…so big… so hard"
"All for you my Star all for you" Skyfire said as he continued and worked to overload Starscream a third time.
Soon enough, Skyfire overloaded, sending Starscream not only into his third overload, but also into recharge. Skyfire smiled. He knew Starscream would be out for a while, and he soon sought out his other two mates, not wanting to leave them missing out on receiving love. Especially now, as Skyfire knew all the seekerlings would be asleep as well.
He finally found them and the sleeping seekerlings and kissed his other two mates lovingly.
TC and Warp were caught slightly off guard as Skyfire teased their afts and wings with his hands but they weren't going to stop him, as it felt so good, and they needed it, as they were starting to go into seeker heat, just like Starscream. Poor wingspan had no idea what he was in for, as he would be heading into his first heat, but right now all TC could think about was interfacing with his mates.
"How do you want it my loves" Skyfire asked in that husky voice.
Before Skyfire was even aware of what was going on, he had been knocked over onto his back with warp and TC playing with him, and both of them, with their afts to his faceplates, as they used their tongues to tease Skyfire's huge arousal. Skyfire, on fire, used his hands to play with his mate's aft ports, using his fingers to tease them mercilessly.
He decided to play with them and thrusted into their afts with his fingers while they worked his spike.
Both mewled and howled slightly, as Skyfire's fingers were even bigger than most cables they had taken up their afts, but nevertheless, both Warp and TC thrusted backward onto the fingers as they teased Skyfire's arousal, not realizing that Skyfire was about to surprise them again by using his own tongue to tease both of their steeled arousals.
Skyfire worked their afts a little longer before he pulled his fingers out and before his mates knew it had them on their backs and he was lick both their spikes one after the other.
Warp and TC were lost in the sensations, and overloaded from the stimulation from Skyfire, but Skyfire was in for a surprise as well, as Warp and TC soon pinned Skyfire down and then flipped him over. Skyfire felt his hardened arousal rub against his abdomen and the floor beneath him, as Warp and TC prepared to both use their arousals at once and soon both entered Skyfire's aft simultaneously, stroking and hitting nodes Skyfire had no idea he even had.
Skyfire moaned and moved back meeting his mates' thrusts begging for more from them, it felt so slagging good.
TC and Warp were gone, going only on their instinct to satiate their needs for heat. They felt so good as they were taking their mate's aft, filling it like no one else ever had, as Skyfire had had bed mates before, but no one had ever been able to keep up with his stamina or fill him up, as he was big, until he agreed to become mates with the seekers, and finally, Skyfire felt at home. And as Warp and TC continued, overloading a couple times into Skyfire, TC finally decided to play with the shuttles cable while Warp teased the front port. Needless to say, Skyfire was completely in la-la land.
While the three played, Wingspan was in his shared berth and something woke him but he wasn't sure what, he felt warm and so he moved his hand to the warmth and moaned as he started to touch himself. Wingspan had no idea he was entering his first heat.
Hot Rod was still asleep, unaware of his mate's need.
Wingspans hands kept running over his body and his body kept warming up and he started moaning softly.
Hot Rod soon woke, hearing the soft sounds, wondering what was going on. "are you ok, sweet spark?" the racer asked, hoping that something wasn't wrong.
Hearing his mate Wingspan was up quickly and was 'attacking' his mate and rubbing himself against his mates body.
Hot Rod became fully awake and slightly scared at how his mate was acting, but seeing that it appeared that his mate was extremely horny, Hot Rod gently reached out and used his hand to rub his mate's wings, causing Wingspan to gasp in pleasure. Hot Rod wasn't sure what was going on, but if his mate was horny, perhaps due to carrying so many sparklings or so Hot rod thought, then who was Hot Rod to stop his mate from getting what the seeker wanted. 'How do you want it my love?" asked Hot Rod, somewhat enjoying the mewls he was earning from his mate.
"Everyway" Was the last coherent speech Wingspan was able to utter as his body took over.
Hot Rod was not sure what that meant, but the first way he worked his mate was to take the seeker's cable in his mouth, causing Wingspan to hiss in pleasure as he had never felt this before. And for the next five Overloads, Hot rod either used his hands or tongue to bring mate to overload, now what was left was actually using his own interfacing appliances, as Hot Rod had not yet overloaded once, though Wingspan had no idea, as all the seeker could think about was satiating his own desperate need.
"In..side" Wingspan managed his body so hot now, but for seekers this was normal during this time.
Hot rod got on top of his mate, and slid his cable into his mate's front port, causing wingspan to overload twice instantly even before Hot Rod started thrusting. Hot Rod was starting to get tired, but something happened, as Hot Rod inserted himself into his mate, giving Hot Rod the energy to satiate his mate's needs for the entire time the seeker was in heat, though neither knew it. And after pounding the seeker's front port, Hot Rod surprised his mate by sliding into the seeker's virgin aft, causing Wingspan to moan and mewl in even more pleasure. Wingspan's heat was going to be a lot longer than that of the other seekers as he was younger and it always hit younger bots harder and longer, but now, through some mysterious force, Hot Rod had been given the drive and then energy to help his mate satiate the need.
Wingspan clung and moaned as Hot Rod took him and he longed for more, the need was so great now. "Wings..." He managed to say as his mate pounded his aft.
Hot Rod ran his hands along the seeker's wings teasing them, and adding something new, as Hot Rod bit them just hard enough to release energon before using his tongue to tease the small wounds, lapping up the energon that was spilled. Needless to say, Wingspan was completely gone, not understanding what was happening, but not caring as long as his mate was there to help. Hot Rod even played a more dominant role, causing Wingspan's body, for at least this day, to play the submissive, begging for more. Tomorrow, the roles would be reversed, and it would continue for the entire 10 days that Wingspan would experience his first seeker in heat time, though the days would reduce to a week by the time a seeker got to TC or that trine's age. Hot Rod, not sure why, began enjoying this more than usual, both hoping that no one would come and disturb them.
Unfortunately that did happen as Wingspan moaned and mewled for more Prowl came by to see Wingspan not knowing his son was in heat, not knowing seekers even went into heat and not getting a response he used his override to make sure everything was fine.
All the sparklings were elsewhere, as Hot Rod had sent them off the night before, and Prowl heard something coming from the bedroom. Curious he headed toward the sound. Hot Rod and Wingspan were two into each other to notice thanks to Wingspan's heat, but Prowl was shocked by what he saw, as Wingspan was moaning as Hot road was taking his aft while pumping the thick, hard cable and even biting at Wingspan's wings. Needless to say, Prowl quietly high tailed it out of there. While he should have felt disturbed, he felt something else – he was now horny as hell and desperately needed his mate to get off.
Jazz was cleaning up a bit when Prowl got back. "Hey Prowler" He said having no idea what he was in for.
Prowl tackled his mate, about knocking the bot over. Jazz was a little worried as he was face down on his stomach while Prowl was on top of him, and then Jazz felt it – Jazz felt his mate's interfacing panel open and reveal a steely arousal as well as a dripping port. And while Jazz didn't know where this had come from, with his mate licking well known erogenous zones, Jazz just allowed Prowl to do as the bot pleased, after all, it was starting to feel good to both Jazz and Prowl.
Meanwhile, back in their own room, Wingspan and his mate had no idea that they had had a visitor, nor did they care, for as long as they had each other and energon in the room, they were happy and content as well as horny.
At some point during their escapades Wingspans vocalizer conked out from all the noise he was making and resorted to using his body and touches to encourage his mate. At some point neither could keep going and fell into a sated, at least temporary, recharge.
Elsewhere Prowl was giving it to Jazz good who could do nothing more than moan as Prowl did all kinds of things to him.
Jazz moaned even though he had never imagined his mate could be so kinky. Jazz made a mental note to ask, once they were done, where all this was coming from and he barely had time to save that thought when he felt his mate's steeled arousal deep in his valve. Jazz mewled and moaned, feeling new sensations, and enjoying them as much as Prowl was.
Meanwhile, Skyfire was pinned down once again, this time by all three of his mates. Starscream, TC, and Warp began using each other as well as their fourth mate, who had mysteriously been granted lengthy endurance, to satiate their needs as well, all three riding the high that they knew heat brought, and all soon unaware that out of all of this, Skyfire would spark.
Skyfire tried to give each of his mates equal attention but he let them have most of the control as he laid there.
Starscream was riding the shuttle while TC and Warp were using their cables to thrust into Skyfire, who though he tried, was not allowed to take control, as these three seekers knew what they needed out of this heat, unlike Wingspan. And so all Skyfire could do was follow the commands of his horny mates and feel the pleasure they offered.
Jazz was running on empty as Prowl seemed to keep finding all this energy to keep going. "Prowler..." Jazz moaned.
Prowl, snapping out of what was going on, soon looked at his mate, and was concerned. "Jazz, are you ok? Is there anything I can get you?" Prowl asked as he helped his mate to the couch and ran to get energon, as Jazz just looked a bit out of it.
Jazz happily accepted the energon when Prowl came back with it. "Where are you getting this energy"
"I don't know what you are talking about' stated Prowl, sounding more like himself, and feeling exhausted himself, but not understanding why.
Jazz checked his internal chrono. "Prowler we've been at it for almost five hours"
"Been at what?" replied Prowl, the heady scent of seeker heat having worn off.
"Prowler you've been facing me in every way possible for almost that long"
Prowl was in shock, as he knew he never had that kind of stamina. "How in the hell did I do that and how did you stand it?" asked Prowl, concerned that he had hurt his mate.
"That's what I want to know" Jazz said. "I'm runnin on empty Prowler"
Prowl thought about it. "all I remember is visiting Wingspan and Hot Rod, and seeing something I shouldn't have and then you asking me to stop."
"And what exactly did you see Prowler" Jazz asked though he had a pretty good idea.
'let's just say I didn't know Wingspan had such large equipment' replied Prowl, shuddering as he remembered the scene.
Jazz groaned. "And how long did you see them"
Prowl checked his internal chrono, "5 seconds, as it I had to figure out what was going on as Hot Rod was behind. As soon as I figured it out, I was gone"
Jazz didn't even think about it might be seeker heat. "Stay away for a bit I don't think I could go that long again"
Prowl had no idea, but said one thing, "I think I am going to have to hold off for a few days, as I am sore as hell." Prowl and Jazz, not being seekers, had no idea that poor Wingspan was experiencing his first seeker heat and that the hormones surging through Wingspan were powerful enough to induce others to go into heat as well, at least temporarily.
As the next few days went by seekers all around were in full blown heat and their mates were having the times of their lives. Skyfire never realized during those seven days of bliss that he had become sparked with his mates' children, two each from the three. Finally day seven ended and the seekers heat ended and they were all more than a bit wobbly the next day and collected their sparklings after taking a long while in the wash racks. They didn't know Jazz was going to be coming for a visit to ask about Wingspan.
Wingspan and his mate were still in the thrall of wingspan's first heat, as it was still would last two more days, and so while the two interfaced like never before, Jazz, finally able to walk straight again, knocked on the trine and Skyfire's door, concerned at what was going on that would cause even Prowl to go nuts.
TC opened the door and gave Jazz a smile. "This is a surprise come in"
Jazz responded, "I have some questions and concerns that I think only you and your trine mates can answer"
"Of course have a seat" TC said and called his trine mates, Skyfire out cold.
Jazz came in and took a seat, noting that the trine had just finished cleaning up the place and it smelled of cleaning fluid as well as something else, though Jazz couldn't pinpoint it. "well, my first question or concern, call it what you will, is how my mate, Prowl, could go visit our son wingspan and his mate, see them going at it for 5 seconds, and come back hornier than pit, to the point he had no idea that he interfaced with me for five hours until I somehow 'broke' the spell, so to speak."
TC and the others just stopped. "Oh slag...Jazz exactly how old is Wingspan"
Jazz told them the age, and all three swore, as Wingspan had just turned old enough for his first "seeker in heat" experience. Jazz wondered what all the reaction was about. "What's wrong, did I do something wrong when I raised him?" asked Jazz, unnerved by the trine's reaction.
"No Jazz, I just didn't realize he was that old already. He's going through his first heat"
Jazz flipped out a bit not understanding what the trine meant. "heat, what the hell do you mean by that?"
"Every so often seekers go into heat, where for seven days in our case and ten in the case of Wingspan are well...horny beyond belief and we release pheromones that if anyone else gets too close to us especially a seeker going through their first heat will give them a small taste of what we go through"
"It's our main breeding or fertile period basically" Starscream added.
Jazz, settling down, nodded as he could understand that, but that didn't explain how Wingspan had gotten sparked before he had had any heat cycles, as Wingspan was sparked with his developing sparklings before he went into his first heat, and also sparked three seekerlings before even getting old enough for heat. And this confusion he told the three seekers, wondering If they could explain this phenomenon.
"There are times when we get sparked outside of our heat cycle it depends if our mate has been found and all that"
'So tell me if I understand this. Wingspan is going through his fertile cycle, since he found his mate early he was able to spark sparklings sooner, and because wingspan was in his first heat when my mate caught him, the pheromones that wingspan exerted affected my mate resulting in me getting five hours of interfacing to the point I almost stasis locked?" Jazz asked, still seeing a look of sadness on the trine's faces, as they wish they had known wingspan's exact age and they could have prepared him for this, as well as Jazz and Prowl.
They nodded. "Yeah...slag I wish we had known he was at this age" TC said. "I would have prepared him for what was coming"
Jazz had one further question, a more personal question, "TC, were you going through your first heat cycle when you raped me?" Jazz had to know, even though it was a painful memory for both, as Jazz felt he would be better able to understand if he knew.
TC looked at Jazz and thought back to that time and realized that yes, he had been unknowingly in his first heat cycle when he had found Jazz. "Not that it excuses what I did, but now that I look back on it, I was, I was unknowingly going through my first heat cycle, though I didn't know that as no one had told me at that point seekers had heat cycles. I am sorry, once again, for my actions."
"Your forgiven TC, as much as I hate what happened if you hadn't done that I wouldn't have Wingspan"
TC smiled, while Starscream stated, "we owe you and Mirage, as well as Wingspan, a huge thank you, as the three of you, aside from Skyfire our mate, have made a difficult transition for us much easier. We will never forget."
"Thank you for helping me understand what is going on with my son, how much longer will he be going through this heat"
Warp responded, "he has two more days. Hot Rod will be exhausted and will recharge for 48 hours once it is over, and then all should be back to normal"
Jazz nodded. "So keep everyone away until its over then?"
'unless you want to get back at someone or play a trick on someone, I would say keep all away" TC said with a hint in his voice, and Jazz knew exactly what they meant, and started wondering just how to get the twins in the room.
Meanwhile, not realizing what was going on, Mirage made his way to see Hot Rod and Wingspan. And not hearing anything, Mirage entered. Mirage, soon found himself catching Hot Rod and wingspan in the act. Trouble was, due to being sparked, Mirage found himself exposed to the pheromones for far longer than prowl had. Mirage headed back to his own room, unable to understand as to just why he was so damn horny.
Optimus was in their quarters working on some reports there, his office feeling to cramped not knowing what was about to happen.
Before Optimus even knew what hit him, Mirage was on top of the bot, desperately pressing his needy body against that of his mate, the scent of a horny seeker in heat exuding from Mirage's frame, and soon even Optimus was no longer thinking of work. Thankfully, the sparklings were elsewhere.
Optimus was soon moaning as his mate attacked him and soon he was returning the favor.
Soon, both were rolling around on the floor, carefully for Mirage, as neither wanted to play the submissive role first, but once they stopped rolling, Optimus was on top, and Mirage, seeing he was defeated, played the submissive bot, at least for now, and with that, Optimus scooped up his mate and placed him on the bed. Optimus was eager to play the dominant role with his mate, as Optimus had almost always let mirage take that role. Not this time, not this time.
Optimus was soon buried deep first in his mates valve then his aft, Mirage felt so good.
Mirage, having shifted to playing the submissive role, enjoyed that Optimus was being so dominant. 'please, please…more…more' Mirage begged, mewling, sending Optimus into overdrive.
Optimus was driven by a need so powerful he had never felt this way before as he took his mate.
Mirage, submissive, did whatever he could to assist his mate in the taking of him and making sure Optimus was getting pleasure out of this. 'oh ngh…yes… take my aft… swat my aft… been so naughty… so big …oh so hard…mm ngh mmm more…please' begged Mirage, his vocals mewling, sounding submissive, driving even Optimus further into his role.
Optimus found himself smacking Mirage's aft as he plunged in and out again and again. "So good my mate"
Mirage moaned, but then he realized he wasn't in the most submissive position. He begged Optimus to remove himself, which Optimus did, at which time Mirage ended up on his back. It was sore, as he was carrying, but he knew that for at least a couple overloads he would have to make his mate feel like he was in control. And once on his back with legs spread, Mirage begged for Optimus to continue and take him.
A small part of Optimus that was still sane and not mad with lust knew that taking Mirage like that would hurt the other. But the lust filled parts of his processor overloaded his logic circuits and soon he was taking Mirage again.
After two quick overloads, from both being plowed in the port and aft, Mirage found his mate quickly repositioning him again, this time on his hands and knees. Mirage felt better, as the pressure was off of him, and his wiggled his back side, to entice his mate, neither one tired yet.
Optimus slipped back inside his mates aft and started stroking him while he moved.
After several more overloads, both crashed onto the berth. Several hours later, not realizing that he still had the smell and pheromones on him, Mirage went out to head to the showers, though he was caught on the way by an innocent bot minding their own business who happened to catch wind of the pheromones. And before Mirage even realized what was going on, he was being taken by a bot who was not his mate, and to top it all off, Optimus was dead to the world when he recharge. Mirage had no idea what he was supposed to do.
Skywarp had just walked into the showers when he smelt and heard something, going over he found Mirage being taken by another bot. That would not do and he rushed over and pulled the other bot off of Mirage, since he had just come off his heat cycle the pheromones weren't affecting him.
After the bot was removed and sent elsewhere, Mirage began crying, not understanding what had happened. "What's wrong with me? Why did this happen to me?" Mirage was shaking and his mate was nowhere in sight.
Skywarp went over and held Mirage in a friendly gesture. "It's alright Mirage, tell me what you can remember"
"I-I-I remember visiting Wingspan and Hot Rod and then that bot raping me. I don't even know what happened in the 12 hours in between that I know I am missing" replied Mirage, causing Warp to silently swear, as he knew the last 2 days were when the pheromones came out the strongest.
"Come lets get you washed up and we'll get you some energon and I'll explain what happened" Skywarp said and stood guard while Mirage cleaned himself and told him about seekers in heat and what happened to him.
Mirage continued to shake and cry, even as he was told the explanation. Nothing was going to make him feel better about the fear of being raped again.
Meanwhile, Optimus finally woke up, confused, but otherwise fine, as he had no idea what had happened over the last 12 hours, but he could see that his mate was gone, and something didn't feel quite right.
Once Mirage was cleaned off Skywarp guided him to the rec room which was deserted at this time and he got Mirage some energon cubes and encouraged him to drink. He then took him back to his shared quarters with Optimus.
After spending some time struggling to get out of the berth, something that Optimus did not know how Mirage managed to do in his heavily sparked condition, Optimus finally was able to get up out of the berth and head out in to the shared portion of the quarters, where he found Mirage crying into Skywarp's shoulder. Fearing something, Optimus straightened up, "Just what are your intentions with my mate, Warp?" not understanding that warp was here to explain a few things.
"I have my own mates thank you very much now sit down" Skywarp said. "I have something to tell you"
Optimus, wary, sat down. "Okay, this had better be good."
Skywarp began tell him what Mirage told him and then he explained why it had happened and what had happened in the wash racks.
Optimus was shocked and didn't know what to think. And while he didn't like that a bot had raped his mate, he could see it was not exactly the bot's fault, as the alluring scent of seeker heat was just enough to break any bot, even the almighty Optimus and Skyfire. Optimus had no idea what he should do, and so he sought advice from Warp. "What should I do, as the bot who did this isn't going to remember he even did it?"
"There is a slight chance but for now comfort your mate the remains of the heat scent have been washed away so you two are safe but stay away from Wingspans quarters for another couple days"
Optimus nodded, and scooped up his shaking mate from Skywarp. "I wish you had told us about this sooner, warp. It might have saved all of us some headaches" stated Optimus, holding his shaking mate close to him.
"We knew our heat cycle was coming up so we stayed in our quarters the sparklings safe elsewhere, we didn't know...we didn't realize Wingspan's age so we had no way to tell him or anyone else he was about to have his first heat"
Optimus nodded, as he knew Wingspan was still learning to trust the trine. "I understand, Skywarp. Thank you for what you have done to help my mate and I. I just hope that you will inform Wingspan sometime so he realizes what is going on and tries to prevent something like this from happening again."
"We all agreed TC will do it after Wingspans heat is over" Skywarp said. "And there is no stopping our heat cycles but warning can be given for others to stay away"
"I understand, and warnings would be much appreciated' stated Optimus.
"We will next time"
"Thank you, Warp" replied Optimus still holding his shaken mate. "If you will excuse us, Warp, I would like to spend some time with my mate, alone."
Skywarp nodded and left them and Optimus soothed Mirage and just lavished him with love.
