Chapter 36: Reunion
My bare feet hit the rough dirt and I couldn't hold back my excitement of seeing my group. People from the Caravan watched as I came more or less flying by, ignoring sharp rocks that I stepped on as best I could. I could hear Kim shouting and trying to keep up while Phil shouted for me to be careful when I wouldn't slow down. I found my voice bubbling up my throat and before I could even realize that I had shouted, I called out.
"Sunny, Sides! Bee! Over here!"
I barely noticed the stall in their advance, but then they were approaching at top speed, eager to see if it was truly me and that I was alright and not still in Decepticon hands. My spark was thrumming wildly and I brightened as we continued to move closer and closer to one another. Dust swirled around me and I couldn't help but cough as I breathed in the dirt, causing my vents to hiss at the unpleasant feeling. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker slammed on the brakes when they were close enough and both holoforms were out, engulfing me in giant hugs as soon as they were close enough.
I felt warm liquid make its way down my cheek and Sideswipe brushed it away while looking at me with so much emotion in his holoforms eyes that it made more liquid gush out of my eyes.
"Don't leak on us Lilly." He mumbled while smiling his spark throbbing smile that he and his brother had. Bee, Sam, Mikaela got out of the car and I looked over at them with happiness. As for Wheelie, he was stuck inside Bee because of the people watching us.
"Lilly! I thought you were gone for good when that Decepticon got a hold of you!" Mikaela cried while flinging her arms around my neck and dragging me away from the Twins. They didn't look too happy, but I smiled nonetheless when Mikaela squeezed me as tightly as she could, wanting to really know that I was there and not just an image.
Sam patted me on the back, looking awkward as usual when it came to talking to the female gender. I was suddenly pulled into Sunstreaker's grasp and I turned to face him, finding worry written in his eyes as his face barely allowed a small smile upon his lips. He was still the same Mech as always.
How did you get away?" he whispered into my ear and I felt a shiver run up my spine as his hands gripped my hips tightly.
"I…actually, can we talk about that…later? When no one is around?" I questioned with a hesitant voice, feeling Sideswipe's gaze lingering on my form as I stared in Sunny's eyes. He didn't look too happy at that fact, but then he nodded while brushing a lock out of my face and behind my ear. Leaning in, he gently placed a kiss on my forehead and I sighed at the show of affection. I really missed the two.
Sideswipe chuckled at my sudden guard dropping around them and he was about to move forward when Kim's voice filtered to our ears.
"Perhaps you can tell us which direction we are to head to get to this Safe House?"
I turned in Sunstreaker's grasp and smiled at her before stepping away from Sunny. Stopping in front of Kim, who eyed everyone behind with warily, she then turned her attention on me and I grasped one of her hands in mine.
"Since we are mostly done out here, I believe that we can actually lead you to where the Safe house is, if you all are willing to follow us." Kim them looked back at Phil, who was watching with a wary eye, she then looked back at me with a slight smile.
"I have to talk to Phil first, but I think it would be alright in the end. We should be ready in half an hour if I can convince him, which shouldn't be too hard."
With that, she turned and jogged back to the Caravan circle, ready to talk to her significant other about the Safe house and following us.
Frenzy couldn't believe what Barricade and Prowl had made him do. Here he was, currently hanging on the fence, high above the large mob of Infected, being the bait. They had messed with his signal and amped it up to the point where it was overbearing and the next thing that is happening is Infected are swarming from everywhere.
In an attempt to stay as far away as possible, he had scaled the fence with panic, not wanting to become Infected like Barricade and Prowl. It was enough that those two got along all too well, he didn't want to be fully placed into that odd circle.
He clicked and whirled, bickering with Prowl and Barricade, who were up on the small mountain side, away from those below. Frenzy cursed them out, finding his current situation unacceptable. He didn't want to be the bait and yet, here he was, hanging out of reach from these insects that knew nothing but ripping and tearing things apart.
Frenzy then let a high pitched kneeing sound out of his vocal processor as he lost his grip and slipped down a couple of inches. With a thrumming spark that actually held fear, he grabbed back onto the fencing and pulled himself up as high as possible.
"N-not f-f-funny! Ne-ed sit-ting area!" he snapped at the two high above the cages. All he received was an amused look from the two and then he wailed his disapproval of his situation. If words did not get them to do it, then his wailing would drive them crazy enough to do it.
Now, as for the reason why he could just climb over the fencing, well, Barricade had adjusted everything and in the end, they ended up making a boxed in area, laying another piece of fencing over the top. There was no out for Frenzy unless the two actually opened the small doorway for him to escape, but that meant going down.
He was absolutely pissed either way.
She panted heavily as his digits delved underneath her seams, grazing the sensitive wiring underneath. His other servo was against her hip, holding her against his frame as he worked on her sensitive areas. Moving up to her neck cables, he slowly licked one with his glossa and smirked as she shuddered beneath his hands. It was getting intense, the heat, and when they went to deepen the passion that ran through them, they were interrupted.
"Stop! As humans say, Get a room!" Acree cried out while shielding her optics from Ironhide and Chromia making out. It just happened to be her luck that she walked into the less used hanger and found her sister and her Sparkmate making out. She understood the long separation, but really, she didn't want to see this at all.
"Uh…I think I should go and update Optimus…" Acree murmured, starting to leave the room.
"I suggest you don't!" Chromia called out, looking around Ironhide. Acree turned slightly and eyed the two before locking optics with her sister. "Optimus is busy with our sister."
"Oh, the unwanted mental image!" Acree cried before storming out of the hanger and cursing about her sisters constantly interfacing. She understood that they all missed each other, but really, she didn't want to hear or see them at it.
Storming down the hall, she turned a corner and slammed into another bot, causing her tire to squeal backwards and her to tip over like a domino. She landed on her back and aft with a grunt and she looked up at the ceiling, mumbling about it not being her day. A servo was placing in her line of sight and she grasped it, being pulled up and coming face to face with Jolt.
"Sorry about that Acree, didn't mean to bump into you. Ratchet had me hurrying to go and get some energon so he can see if he found another way of being able to make more."
Acree nodded absentmindedly while taking in Jolt's features, having never been this close to the Mech before. Yes, she has worked with him, but that was work, missions that had to be accomplished and nothing was to distract them, nothing but what they had to do was usually on her processor. Now that they were not on a mission, she took in his features and she felt her fans kick on when she found him much to her liking. Maybe, no, she backed up and smiled while shaking her head.
"It's okay Jolt…we both were in a hurry…I suggest you avoid the less used hanger…trust me when I say that." She stated before taking off with her cheek plating heating up for even thinking about Jolt being attractive. She was interrupted from her train of thought when a loud explosion went through the base and she groaned. Wheeljack was at it again. Today really just wasn't her day.
Ratchet breathed sharply through his nose and filled his vents with fresh air before letting it seep out in another rush of air. He needed to calm himself down now, or he was going to throw a fit and the bot that would have to deal with his wrath would be Wheeljack himself. After the explosion, Acree had come in, helping Wheeljack stumble through the Med bay doors.
His fins on the sides of his head would flicker with multicolored lighting and Ratchet was about to scold him when he spotted energon pouring out of his side. Medical mode kicked in and he set to work clamping all the lines that were busted before starting to weld them back together. The damage was quite bad, probably not too bad considering some of his other works, but it still would have caused him to go into stasis lock if he had not been able to get help.
Acree had disappeared and Ratchet glared at the Mech before him with aggravation. How many times had he had to fix this Mech in his lifetime? He actually couldn't recall because of how many times he had been in his med bay. On Cybertron, to their ships, now on earth, what more?
"Do you have a death wish, Wheeljack?" Ratchet snapped while being a little rough on one of the lines. Wheeljack winced and shrugged while grinning at Ratchet.
"Maybe, but then again, half the things that I actually do accomplish would have never come into existence if I didn't give it a try. Plus I think I might have Lilly try something out when she gets back…"
Ratchet sharply looked up from his work and his servo tightened harshly. "You will do no such thing! If it's not me that you should be worried about, then it's definitely the Twins."
Wheeljack stiffened at the mention of the twins. He knew that they could be very protective, but if it dealt with someone that was possibly their Sparkmate, then he would be dead if something happened to her. Maybe he should ask Acree to do it instead, maybe she would actually try. It was worth a shot, but if Lilly did agree, then he was going to be utilizing her.
Wheeljack then shrugged, wincing from the pain in his side before relaxing and letting Ratchet continue to work. "I'm sure they wouldn't be too upset."
Ratchet sent one look at Wheeljack and he shuddered when he caught sight of the CMO's glare. He really didn't want anyone's wrath focused on him.
"Maybe you're right." He mumbled while looking away from Ratchet, his fins flashing different colors as he went through a wave of different emotions. The sound of tinkering and tools being picked up, used and placed down, filled the air and when Ratchet was finally done, he gave his friend a pat on the just patched up area, causing the Mech to wince and glare.
"I suggest you take it easy for another explosion like that will not go over well." Ratchet stated while eyeing the Mech that shrugged again and walked out of the room with a wave over his shoulder. "I'm not going to feel sorry for you my old friend if you go through with asking Lilly to help you…"
The Trine had been informed that I had been found the second they had gotten me back and now, here we were on our way back to the base.
I rolled around in the back seat of Sunstreaker, having already been questioned if I was okay and why my optics no longer were brown. I refused to tell Sunny anything until we were back at the base, not wanting him to throw a fit and then have Sideswipe start to butt into things. I needed to explain everything when I was just with them, face to face. My processor hurt from everything that has been going on and I just wanted to sleep, but Sunny kept bothering me, determined to find out what the frag the Decepticon's did and how I got away.
"Sunny! I'll tell you when we get back, but not now, please!" I cried out, feeling myself about to crack and really snap at him. I didn't want that, not at all. Behind us came Sideswipe and Bee while following at a distance was the Caravan group. They happened to be called Caravan Raven. It had already been three days of driving and I was tired of just sitting in here, unable to get out and stretch. Everyone had decided on just going straight through, only stopping when really needed.
Dust flew out from underneath the tires and I sat, watching it come up and pass the window that I was staring out of while laying down. Sighing, I rolled over onto my stomach and I gasped as the seat sunk down, letting me relax even more.
"I'm sorry Lilly, I'm just…worried." Sunstreaker murmured and I let a small smile come over my lips as my eyes fluttered closed and I let a hand run over the seat in a soothing way, making sure to drag my fingers lightly against the leather, which caused a shiver to pass through his frame.
I lightly kissed the seat and grinned when I heard the heat come on, warming the car. I was startled when a hand ran over my back and my eyes flew open, finding Sunny sitting in between the seats with a small smirk on his face. I shivered when his hand dove underneath my shirt and began to rub my back, dragging his fingers down it lightly, causing gooseflesh to appear as I enjoyed the feeling. I always loved my back tickled. I whined when he stopped and I heard a snicker before Sunny began it again.
"Thank you." I muttered and smiled while my fingers drew small circles on the seat as I drifted off and into a deep recharge, knowing that I really needed it and had been craving that feeling of actually loosing myself to a deep sleep. My muscles relaxed and last I heard was Sunstreaker whispering something and Sideswipe, whose voice came over the radio, telling me to get some sleep and that they would be there when I woke up.
