Optimus soon arrived at Jazz's quarters, and the saboteur carefully handed off the sleeping forms of Peacekeeper and Flasher to their father. Optimus smiled as he carefully carried his sons back towards the med bay. He was happy that so far, they were safe.
And after Optimus left with the two, Prowl came back home. Wingspan was sleeping soundly and Jazz was in a mood. Seeing the little ones made him want more. He just hoped Prowl was willing to give Jazz more babies to love. Prowl had no idea what he was in for once he got home, as Jazz was ready to spring a special surprise on the tactician. And soon, the two were having their own fun.
But back in the med bay, Optimus soon arrived with the two sleeping sparklings. Flasher was obviously a more sound sleeper as he flickered in and out of sight without any thought at all. Peacekeeper looked like he was having a bit more of a fitful sleep, which worried Ratchet. Optimus brought the twins over to a med bay berth for Ratchet to look at them. Ratchet quickly scanned over Flasher and found the little one to be healthy and fine, but when Ratchet scanned over Peacekeeper, Ratchet became worried, and Optimus sensed it. "What is wrong with my son?" Optimus asked, concerned.
"I am trying to find that out right now, Prime" Ratchet stated, not denying that there was an issue but not stating what it was because he wasn't sure yet. "I have to try a different scanner on him."
Optimus was worried and for good reason, as Optimus feared that the Blue plague had returned in his oldest son as Optimus had learned Illusion was the older of the twins Mirage and Illusion and Illusion had been the one who had succumbed to the disease after sparking. Optimus watched with a close optic, and he noticed that Ratchet didn't have the scanner for the Blue plague virus, but a different scanner. "What does that scan for?" Optimus asked, wanting to know.
"It scans for typical sparkling viruses" Ratchet answered, hoping that this would give him his answer.
While not completely relieved, Optimus was somewhat relieved to hear that. He hoped that this was nothing more than a typical sparkling virus. Little did Optimus, Mirage, or Jazz know that Peacekeeper had picked up a virus from Wingspan, as had Flasher though Flasher showed no signs or symptoms of it. "Well?" Optimus asked, needing to know.
Ratchet scanned carefully. "It looks like Peacekeeper picked up a virus that typically only seekers get, though grounders can get it too if they are in close proximity to a seeker who has it. This is easily rectified" Ratchet stated, before scanning Flasher again with this new scanner. "Flasher has it to, but his systems have somehow already fought it off."
"Well, the little ones have spent quite a bit of time with Jazz and Wingspan" Optimus revealed, unaware that Ratchet barely knew of Wingspan, as Jazz hadn't taken the seekerling to the med bay, except for one time for a quick scan. for fear that the medic would hurt the little one.
"Who is Wingspan?" ratchet asked, not remembering the little seekerling that he had only seen once for a quick blue plague viral scan.
"Wingspan is the son of Jazz and Prowl. Wingspan is a seekerling" Optimus revealed, unaware that Ratchet had no idea.
"I didn't realize that Jazz and Prowl had a son who was a seekerling" Ratchet stated. "Is there anyway you could comm jazz and get him to bring his son down here?"
"I can try" Optimus stated, and the prime commed Jazz. Jazz didn't answer at first, as he was out cold from the loving session he and his mate had had. But after a few more pulses on the comm ling Jazz responded and Optimus asked that Jazz bring Wingspan to the med bay. Jazz was reluctant to do so until Optimus explained about Wingspan possibly having a viral infection. Then and only then did Jazz decide to bring his son to the med bay for only the second time since Jazz and his family had arrived.
Optimus was the first to see Jazz arrive. "Please, come in Jazz. We wanted Wingspan to get checked out because my sons seemed to have caught a virus from him. We want to make sure he is healthy" Optimus explained.
Jazz was glad Optimus was there as Jazz didn't trust the medic, and Ratchet could tell. "Jazz, I mean no harm to you or your son. I just want to make sure that he is healthy" Ratchet stated, stating the truth.
Jazz was reluctant still, but Wingspan sensed that the medic was a good bot and tried to reach for the old medic. Ratchet and Optimus smiled at that. Jazz was a bit hesitant but decided to allow Wingspan to go to the old medic. Ratchet was careful as he examined the seekerling. Ratchet found what he was looking for. Wingspan had carried the virus but it hadn't affected the young one. Wingspan and Flasher were free to go. Jazz was relieved and quickly left now that he knew his son was safe, but Optimus remained. "What of Peacekeeper?" Optimus asked.
"I plan on keeping him in the med bay for a while, so I can give him an antivirus that will help his systems. I plan on leaving him with Mirage while they both recover" ratchet stated, relieving Optimus.
"Alright, I guess I will take this little one home with me" Optimus stated as he scooped up the still sleeping Flasher.
"Take him home and get to know him. And if you have any questions, I am sure Bee or Jumper can help" Ratchet stated. Soon, Optimus headed home with his one son and Ratchet started watching over Mirage and Peacekeeper. All hoped the two would be ok.
