Finally two days later Wingspans first he was over and he was more than wobbly as he made it over and downed some energon as fast as he dared and Hot Rod was out cold.
Wingspan was wondering what had gone on that would knock his mate out so much. And seeing that Hot rod was not about to get up anytime soon, Wingspan left his quarters, showered thoroughly, as If on instinct, and then headed out to see what was going on, as he felt like he had missed some things. Prowl saw Wingspan and turned away, unable to look his own son in the face for the time being after what he had seen. And while that bothered Wingspan, seeing Mirage being afraid of him worried him even more and Wingspan only knew of one place to head, TC.
He hit the chime on the door once he made it to their quarters.
Skyfire, finally awake, answered the door, and in seeing Wingspan, he let the young bot in and soon the trine was sitting around, ready to answer Wingspan's question, unaware of what he would have to say.
"What the hell has happened to me, why is my mate out cold refusing to wake, why is my papa avoiding looking at me and Mirage fears me"
TC sighed, and with his mates' support, began to talk, "Wingspan, we are sorry, we never knew your exact age, or we would have warned you that you would soon be experiencing your first heat cycle. And since it was your first, you had extremely powerful pheromones, and unfortunately those weren't limited to your mate, who after a couple more days will be fine and up and around" replied TC, not saying any more yet as he wanted this to sink in.
Wingspan was silent as his processor tried to process what he had been told. "That answers the first question but what the avoided gaze and fear"
Warp talked, as he had more info in this field. "Prowl walked in on you two at one point, and though there only shortly, he ended up facing with his mate for 5 straight hours with no memory once Jazz called him out of his stupor. Mirage, on the other hand, visited with you during a time when your pheromones were the highest, and became almost saturated in them, and while he had fun with his mate, before he was able to wash it off, he was raped by a bot who caught whiff of the pheromones. Now it is not your fault and I think, given time, both Prowl and Mirage will get over what happened. You just have to be careful from now on, now that you are aware of this, as this heat cycle will come twice a year if you are not carrying and once a year if you are carrying."
"So I'm safe until next year?" Wingspan asked rubbing his temple a bit. "This is just..."
"It might take a bit of time to learn to regulate it as we have, and to learn to control it a bit, but for now, it won't comeback until next year for you since you are carrying right now. I know this is a lot to take in and we are sorry we didn't tell you sooner. If only we had known that you were of age, we would have warned both you, your mate, as well as your other family members. But once Hot Rod comes around, we will have to explain things to him as well" replied TC, hoping Wingspan was not mad at the older trine set.
"Thanks...this is just so overwhelming it's like these last days are a blur"
"That is not uncommon for your first heat cycle, Wingspan" stated Starscream, "And as you have more, while you can't make them go away, you can learn the signs and warn others and control them just a bit more. The three of us had to deal with our first heat cycles as well, and the more we have had, the more we have been somewhat able to control ourselves, though with it being heat, that control is very limited. You will learn in time, as while all seekers experience heat, all are different in how they learn to cope and work with their systems."
Wingspan nodded and he looked to his data donor. "Father you said you'll come explain to Hot Rod wakes"
"I will, is something wrong, Wingspan?" asked TC, sensing there was a question behind his son's statement.
Wingspan shook his head. "I'm okay this is just a lot to take in...and I think I'm about to have a moodswing. Will you...will you hold me"
TC smiled, walked over to his grown son, and soon held Wingspan in a way that neither Hot Rod nor Jazz could. Warp and Starscream, seeing that Wingspan was having a tough time, soon joined TC, using techniques they had learned on TC to calm Wingspan. Skyfire just smiled, and watched as his three mates took care of the adult seeker, and could see the reason why he had fallen for the seekers in the first place.
Though what the three were doing was helping Wingspan still cried for a bit wrapped in the warm embrace of his father.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there, as you were growing up, as I never knew you even existed, but I hope that know that we know each other better, I hope we can be family' TC said, comforting his grown son in a way that neither Prowl, Jazz, Mirage, nor Hot Rod ever could, as those bots were all smaller than Wingspan. TC was bigger than Wingspan, as was able to hold Wingspan better due to being bigger.
Wingspan nodded his head buried into his father's chest and said softly. "Family"
Skyfire and the other two seekers, sensing a need, soon came together with Wingspan and TC, offering both a great big family hug. Wingspan felt love from all four bots, not just his father creator. He also realized that they never told him he couldn't be with his other family. They just accepted him as he was, and that made Wingspan happiest of all.
Wingspan stayed like that for a time after his mood swing had passed and soon after he headed off to tend to his sparklings. A couple days later TC came to his son's quarters to talk to him and Hot Rod.
"Seeker heat cycle? Is there anything I should worry about for my systems? Will I be able to help satiate the cravings?" asked Hot Rod, confused and curious as well as totally lost by what his mate and TC were telling him.
"Hot Rod that's exactly what you did for ten days" TC explained. "And no your systems will be just fine, you'll just be able to go a lot longer then you normally would be able to"
Hot Rod nodded, still not quite getting it, and as TC was turning his head to think, he saw a strange piece of art on the wall – something that was only partially complete, something that showed Cybertron from long ago, and as TC looked harder he couldn't help but wonder. 'where did you get that picture," TC asked taking both Wingspan and Hot Rod's attention away from seeker heat cycles and toward the unfinished painting. Wingspan watched as TC went up to touch the painting. While Wingspan did not quite understand the older bot's fascination with the painting, he soon answered his father.
"Mama gave it to me a friend of his was painting it for him after mama got sparked with me, said his name was Darkwing and he was a seeker"
TC, looked harder at the painting, tears in his optics, as he remembered the gentle spirit his older brother, older by minutes, was. Hot Rod and Wingspan were confused, until TC said something, out loud but not really to anyone. "So this was the last thing he was working on. I thought it had been destroyed, just like him. I miss him so much. Brother, you were always such a wonderful artist. I am sure you are happy to know I am happy, have found my sparkmates, and I am no longer a con as well as owning up to my mistake as you always had wanted and encouraged me to do. I just wish you and Ravenswing were still with us. Now I the youngest of the three of us am the only remaining of our family."
"Father? Your brother did this? Your brother was Darkwing that mama told me about?" Wingspan asked.
"Yes, Darkwing was my brother. He was a kind, gentle spirit whose love of Cybertronian nature and peace shone threw in everything he did. He and Ravenswing were the identical set of twins in our set of triplets and both were born before me. Darkwing always tried to protect me, until the day he died, as he didn't want to see me hurt or killed in the war that had broken out. He never told me of Jazz or you, as I don't think he knew that it was I who had committed the terrible act' replied TC.
"Mama told me Darkwing was going to help mama with me and my possible siblings and mama found him. He had been beaten and raped mama said and he made sure Darkwing was properly entombed"
TC let loose a gush of tears from his optics. "at some point, I will have to thank your mom, Wingspan, for being so kind to honor the memory of my dear brother and making sure that he was taken care of after going offline. I am sure Jazz did well and Darkwing is happy."
Wingspan came over and gave his father a hug. "Would you like me to comm mama and ask him to come"
"Maybe a little later son, right now, it just has hit me so hard" replied TC.
'Thundercracker, may I ask what happened to your other brother?" asked Hot Rod, finally reminding them that he was here as well.
"He was an intense go-getter. Always one to be in your face either encouraging you to push beyond yourself or push you into a fight. His spark seemed to be on fire, blazing wildly. I loved him dearly though he often got himself and I in trouble that Darkwing had to get us out of. Last I saw him, he was bleeding energon, laying on a dark street in our destroyed city, one wing completely torn in half and leaking energon from seemingly everywhere. It was too much, I knew he had to be offline, and so I left, too afraid to stay, and joined with the cons" replied TC.
"Perhaps there is someone who knows what happened to him" Wingspan suggested and got his father some energon. "Here father"
Meanwhile, Teletran 1 seemed to be picking up some incoming object. And as it got closer, it appeared to be made of metal though no one was quite sure of the thing was alive or not as it headed for the Autobot base. Mirage and Optimus headed out, as did Skyfire and warp, no one too sure what was coming their way.
Back with Wingspan and Hot Rod, TC took the energon and enjoyed being part of Hot rod and Wingspan's family as the sparklings crawled all over him, especially Tango, who seemed to love the old seeker.
Wingspan smiled as he watched the sparklings climb all over his father and it made him happy.
The object in question was an injured seeker who ended up crashing miles from the Autobot base. Ravenswing was hurting as he managed to transform into his robot mode his, wings seared and wounds on his chest and the rest of him for that matter.
And as the pained bot was trying to orient himself to where he was, Optimus and the others with him came upon the shot seeker. "I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, identify your designation and faction."
Ravenswing, in dire need, answered, "I am Ravenswing, and I am of neither faction. I am a neutral, though I hate Megatron with all my spark. He is the reason I look the way I do."
Optimus was surprised, as he had thought that there were no neutrals left. He could only wonder how this bot had managed to stay out of the war.
Ravenswing tried to get to his feet but fell almost immediately after and let out a small groan.
"Optimus, he needs medical attention now" stated Mirage, to which Skyfire and warp agreed. Skyfire transformed and Warp, Mirage and Optimus tried to encourage the injured bot aboard. "Please come, Ravenswing, and we will get you medical attention that you desperately need"
Ravenswing nodded and accepted the help aboard the shuttle and was teetering on stasis lock by the time they got him to the med bay.
Upon arriving to the med bay, Ratchet got to work, not sure what had caused the injuries he saw, as most of them appeared to be ancient. Ratchet worked hard, after sedating the seeker. And once the physical form had been repaired, ratchet had First Aid clean the bot, which revealed that this bot associated with neither faction, as well as showed his colors – Black with red striping.
Meanwhile, having heard about an injured bot being brought in by Optimus, warp and the others, Wingspan wondered something, and so leaving TC with his mate, Wingspan carefully made his way into the med bay, knowing that no matter how busy it got, Ratchet would never yell at him.
Wingspan got a good look at the injured seeker taking in the colors and saw there were no faction symbols on the wings and he gasped as his processor made the connection.
There was only one thing left to do to see if this truly was who Wingspan was thinking this was. "Hey uncle ratchet, who is this?" Wingspan asked about the sedated and broken seeker, hoping this was who he thought it might be.
"Optimus, Mirage, Warp, and Skyfire brought him in, apparently his designation is Ravenswing" replied Ratchet, having no clue he had just told Wingspan what the young seeker wanted to hear.
"Thanks Uncle Ratchet" Wingspan said and asked next. "Is it okay if I comm someone to come here for a few minutes"
"as long as the bot won't be in the way and won't cause any other problems" replied Ratchet, unsure of what had gotten Wingspan so animated all of the sudden, but the medic chalked it up to mood swings.
Wingspan quickly commed his father. "Father I really, really need you to come to the med bay, I'm fine don't worry but come quickly"
"I-I will be right there, my son" replied TC, still getting over his crying episode. Hot Rod, wanted to go along, but seeing that the sparklings weren't invited, Hot Rod stayed behind, encouraging his father in law to go meet Wingspan. And soon enough, TC entered the med bay, unsure of why Wingspan had called him, as TC saw no bots in the bay, not realizing that he was not in the intensive care portion of the med bay. "Wingspan, son, are you here?"
"Back here" Wingspan called from the intensive care section.
TC headed back. "You called me, Win-…" TC was caught off midsentence as he looked at the seeker who was sedated, the injuries, the torn wing, and no insignias. TC was in a state of shock as was about to cry as Wingspan came over to comfort his father. "Is that…is that.." TC was too shaken up to say anymore, not sure if he wanted to believe what he was seeing.
"Its him, I asked Uncle Ratchet. Optimus and the others brought him in" Wingspan said.
TC didn't want to believe his optics. And so, to prove that this was real, TC reached out his hand and touched the freshly cleaned wing which would now repair itself, not believing still that this was true and yet here it was. And after finally believing what he saw, TC broke down. "Brother, you're alive? How did you ever make it?"
"Brother, now that's interesting. Now that is something I want to know these injuries are positively ancient" Ratchet said coming over.
TC collected himself a bit, and told Ratchet what he knew about the possible injuries and about how old they were. Ratchet was startled to learn that these injuries were even older than Wingspan. Some of them were much older than others, as TC remembered a few stories about the scars, but a majority of the scars were from when Ravenswing had refused to join Megatron and Megatron attempted to kill the seeker. TC could only think that it was Ravenswing's fiery spark that had kept him alive this long, especially with only 1 full wing and a half of a wing.
"He's a tough one then, stubborn spark" Ratchet said. "He's going to be here a while until I know the repairs are taking and he comes to on his own"
"Please keep me informed Ratchet, as he is the last of my original family that I have left. I thought I was alone, as I thought both of my brothers had been killed and I secretly watched my parents be murdered. I certainly hope he pulls through."
"Well from what you've told me and what I've seen somehow I don't think that's going to be a problem"
"Just beware, he can be a stubborn aft, and he doesn't like being told what to do, although maybe he has grown since I remember him. He can still be a pain in the aft. Just thought I would warn you while he is still out of it so you don't get caught off guard" replied TC.
Ratchet took that as a challenge as he had never backed down from any mech. "I look forward to the challenge"
"Just don't be too hard on him, as he has a good spark, it just is not always easy to see. And I know you enjoy a good challenge, ratchet. Thank you for being willing to take care of my brother."
Ratchet waved the words off. "I'm a medic"
"You are not just a medic, ratchet. You see bots at their worst, you give them hope, you help them make it. You give your all to make sure that you do everything in your power to keep them online and when you can't do that, you make sure they offline in peace and comfort. You are the first bot most of us see and the last bot most of us see; you touch so many lives in ways we don't always appreciate. Don't ever forget that. You are never just a medic" replied TC, surprising the hell out of Ratchet and Wingspan.
Ratchet was stunned into silence a very rare feat as he never realized how others might truly feel about him. "Thank you Thundercracker"
'You are welcome my friend. Come, please, Wingspan, we have news to tell my mates' replied TC, smiling as he and Wingspan headed out, leaving ratchet still amazed, but with a renewed sense of vigor as he realized that his efforts, no matter how small, never went unnoticed.
He kept a close optic on the injured seeker and was still around hours later when the seeker in question woke.
Ravenswing groaned as his optics onlined and he wasn't completely sure where he was.
"Don't get up" stated Ratchet in his normal gruff manner, 'you are still recovering. You are in the Autobot med bay, you are receiving energon via drip. Just be sure of this, while you are here, no one will harm you. And once you are more awake and feeling better, Optimus wants to speak with you"
Ravenswing gave the medic a look. "Why are you helping me"
"Because we Autobots believe that all sentient beings have the right to live freely, and I know someone who would be pretty devastated if you left us" replied Ratchet.
"what's it matter, my whole family is dead, I am the last survivor" replied Ravenswing, not knowing about TC still being alive, "I have no reason to stay as there is no one left."
"In that regard you are wrong, your brother Thundercracker is very much alive and here on base"
Ravenswing looked at the medic to see if said bot was just teasing him, giving him false hope, but that was not what the seeker saw. "Can…Can I see him…please? I want to believe you, I truly do, but I am not going to fully believe it until I see it."
Meanwhile, in their shared quarters, TC, with help from his son, told Warp, Starscream and Skyfire that the rescued seeker was TC's long lost and thought dead brother, but TC had trouble getting the words out.
Ratchet commed TC as soon as Ravenswing made the request. "Thundercracker your brother is awake and he would like to see you"
Not wanting to overwhelm his brother, TC went alone, even without Wingspan. Soon enough, TC made his way into the med bay. He was slightly smaller than his brother, but Ravenswing recognized his baby brother instantly.
"Thunder...you're alive..." He said not knowing his little brother had been thinking the same.
"As are you, Rave" TC said, still shocked. 'I thought I saw you dead when I found you on that dark street and so I left, in fear of my life. Forgive me"
"I was near dead but I swear I kept hearing Wing telling me to get off my lazy aft. I thought you were dead I know he is"
"But don't worry about him, Rave, I know for a fact someone found him and made sure to give him a proper entombment. In fact, the bot is here, at this base" replied TC, "I missed you, but I really miss Darkwing, and I wish he could be here with us"
"So do I he was the only sane one of the three of us"
"Well, I wouldn't say that, as I do have my own family now, Rave' replied TC, shocking Ravenswing, who never thought his baby brother would be so responsible.
"even after you raped that poor defenseless bot?" asked Rave, who knew as TC had told him after it had happened. TC winced, but knew he needed to come clean.
"Start talking Thunder I know that look"
TC sighed, and then like a dam breaking loose and water surging through, TC revealed all that had happened from Jazz being sparked with Wingspan to being a con, to raping other bots, to finally finding his mates and having a family of his own and making up for the past. By the time TC was finished telling all to Rave, it had been three hours. Ratchet, trying hard not to listen, was shocked none the less, but rave's face remained unchanged, making TC worry and dread what his older brother was going to say, as Rave was the middle sparkling of the triplets.
"Come here Thunder" Rave said simply.
TC moved closer without hesitation, wondering what his brother was going to do.
Rave pulled his brother down to him with surprising strength and hugged him tight, well as tight as he could. "I am happy you have a family now and so help me I should smack you upside the helm for joining the cons"
'I am no longer a Con, Rave, I am now an Autobot. Warp saved me after Megatron raped me and forced a spark merge with me' stated TC.
Rave lightly smacked his brother's helm. "I can see the Autobot symbol on your wings, but the fact you had joined the cons period"
"Well I was young and didn't know that the Cons were bad, as there was no one to tell me. I had to learn the hard way. But what I don't understand is how you remained neutral all this time" replied TC.
"I've been in hiding, I would rather offline then go near Megatron unless its to offline him"
Meanwhile, wondering what was taking his true creator so long, Wingspan made his way to the med bay, and was surprised by what he found.
"Father" Wingspan said coming to the doorway and stopping.
While TC responded, Ravenswing looked over, not understanding how such a small seeker could call TC "father." And without thinking before he spoke, rave asked, "how come you are such a small seeker?" While Wingspan didn't know how to react, TC was mad.
"Because I'm the one who raped his mother who's a grounder" TC snapped at his brother.
"Okay okay, geez it was just a question" Ravenswing said.
Now it was Wingspan who was pissed, as he hated that part of the equation. NO matter how much TC was being father like, Wingspan hated that part, and Wingspan being pregnant and pissed off was not good for the older seeker who had no idea what was coming his way. And before ratchet and TC could stop the bot, Wingspan used a few upper cuts and some right crosses, knocking the older bot off the berth and onto the floor. Rave, TC, and Ratchet were all shocked, as they never realized just how much his mother's rape bothered the bot, and after throwing Ratchet and TC off, Wingspan left, tears streaming, and headed for his mate.
Wingspan ran into Hot Rods arms and clung to him crying.
Ratchet hauled Ravenswing up off the floor and back onto the berth checking injuries.
"feisty' was all Ravenswing had to say, "definitely a firecracker and definitely your brat."
Ratchet could tell that TC wanted to get back at Rave so bad, but couldn't bring himself to do it, and so ratchet had fun as he slightly bent back the old seeker's wings, causing Rave to cringe. "If you didn't realize it, Wingspan doesn't like to hear about what TC did to his mom in the past, especially when someone has no respect." Rave winced, as Ratchet twisted his wing, not enough to break it but enough to cause quite a bit of pain.
Elsewhere, trying to comfort his mate, Hot Rod rubbed Wingspan's back, trying to get him to calm down.
Wingspan couldn't even find words as he just sobbed into his mate's chassis, his body trembling.
Meanwhile, Optimus was worried about his mate, as for as horny as both were, Mirage had been afraid to interface since the day he had been raped by a member of his own faction. In fact, even though Optimus could tell Mirage was in desperate need of intimacy and interfacing, Mirage seemed to do everything he could to avoid being intimate. Optimus knew he had to try to get Mirage to be intimate before the bot became worse in general.
Optimus got the sparklings to their sitters and sat Mirage down on the couch and gently started giving him a massage.
Mirage was still very skittish, but Optimus was slowly and patiently winning his heavily sparked mate over, with gentle, patient and loving strokes. Mirage was fighting within himself, as part of his wanted this, needed this, craved this while the other part wanted to run far, far away and it was only due to Optimus's strong arms and loving pulses that Mirage remained where he was.
Very gently Optimus kissed Mirage's neck while he gave him the massage, he wanted Mirage to relax, to enjoy himself.
Mirage, while still ready to jump ship, soon started to relax slowly, as his posture seemed to become less tense. But Optimus knew if he made the wrong move, Mirage would run.
Optimus kept repeating his same movements and gently kissed Mirage's cheek.
As his mate moved, Mirage felt his mate rub against one of the illusionist's highly erotic erogenous zones, earning Optimus a loud purr and a desperate mewl and moan. Mirage was starting to realize that he needed this more than he thought he did.
"I love you never forget that" Optimus said gently as worked that spot again.
"Won't ngh ugh won't forget that…. Never forget….love..ngh ugh …love you t-t-too, beloved' replied Mirage, starting to get more into what Optimus was starting.
"Let me show you love" Optimus said softly working different spots.
Mirage began to moan, groan, and mewl in pleasure, pleasure he had sadly missed for several weeks, due to fear, and now, having another mood swing, Mirage was horny as hell, and hoping that Optimus was going to give him more than one overload.
Feeling the change in his mate Optimus began working him in earnest want him to know nothing but pleasure.
And while Mirage was enjoying the pleasure, Optimus noticed that Mirage was still getting antsy the closer the bot got to Mirage's interfacing area. Optimus knew he would have to do some more work if he wanted to show his mate nothing but pleasure.
"Do you trust me" Optimus asked his mate.
Mirage nodded, trusting his mate. "Yes, beloved, I trust you"
"Offline your optics and just feel" Optimus said.
Mirage offlined his optics, and waited, still a little shaky, but not ready to run.
Optimus gently caressed his mate all over and soon laid him down propped up on pillows, retracting his mask he started to lick his mate's panel.
Mirage was caught a little off guard and thrust slightly erratically at first, but once the bot relaxed, he was able to start enjoying what his mate was doing to him, and was eager to see what Optimus had in mind.
Optimus kept caressing and lick, encouraging his mate to open for him.
Mirage slowly revealed his intimate area, coated in lubrication. Mirage's cable was stiff, throbbing and hot while his front port was dripping copious amounts of lube. Mirage was getting to the point where he was having trouble thinking and was glad that Optimus was in control of this ride.
Once Mirage had opened Optimus started tonguing his mate's valve tasting that sweet fluid that was purely his mate.
Mirage was lost in the sensations, having no idea that his mate was so loving and kinky.
Optimus kept it up and gently pushed in one finger while he kept tonguing his mate.
Mirage no longer resisted as he rode the waves of pure pleasure that coursed through his system, hoping for more, as he was horny as hell.
Finally Optimus pulled out his tongue and added more of his fingers gently thrusting into Mirage with them.
Mirage mewled and purred, lost in sensations, each mewl encouraging his mate to take him, and take him now.
Optimus decided to give his mate what he wanted and slowly pushed into his mate.
Mirage thrusted back against his mate, not only wanting Optimus in the front door but also the back door.
Optimus smiled and used one of his hands to gently play with his mates aft while he interfaced with him.
Mirage was sent crashing into multiple overloads, his body craving the pleasure and the closeness, and finally, after the 7th one ripped through him, Mirage crashed into stasis lock, which freaked Optimus out.
Optimus rushed and got energon and got it into Mirage.
Mirage slowly came back. 'Am I safe?" was all Mirage would ask.
"Your safe and had seven very impressive overloads" Optimus teased his mate kissing him.
Mirage blushed, embarrassed by his body's reaction. And soon enough, Mirage was back to his normal self, but now Optimus needed intimate attention.
"My love I hate to ask but could you..."
"you need but ask my love, and you shall receive" replied Mirage.
"I need you" Optimus said.
"I'm yours, what need I do, beloved?" asked Mirage.
"Are you able to take me"
"You have no idea what I am capable of" replied Mirage.
Optimus smiled and laid back.
Mirage went at his mate full gusto, surprising Optimus as the bot had 9 overloads before calling it quits.
"Must never...doubt you again" Optimus managed his intakes heaving.
"Never doubt a deprived mech, my beloved" Mirage said, teasing his mate, laughing once again.
Optimus smiled glad to see Mirage smiling and laughing again.
"thank you, beloved, I needed that more than you will ever know"
"I was getting an idea" Optimus said and pulled Mirage so he was able to hold him.
"And what would that be' Mirage asked using his own body to tease his mate.
"That when we can both move properly I'm going to do many wicked things to you"
"and when will that be, dearie" Mirage asked rubbing his swollen bump against where Optimus's was barely developing.
"Hmmm how long will it take you to get to our berth"
"In the blink of an optic" mirage replied as he disappeared from his mate's arms, making Optimus realize he probably shouldn't have challenged his mate like that.
Optimus got up and met his mate at their berth and proceeded to show him the naughty things he had in mind.
Needless to say, Mirage was very sore but all very relieved once the two of them finished and fell into a pleasant recharge.
Back in their quarters Wingspan was finally calmed down but still didn't say anything just stayed snuggled into his mate.
Hot rod gently rubbed his mate's Wings, glad to see that his mate was finally calming down. 'Do you want to talk about it, sweet spark?"
Wingspan was silent for a few minutes before he finally told Hot Rod what had happened.
Hot Rod was angry, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he was keeping his mate calm, he would have gone to the med bay to deck that new bot. Family or not, there was no reason to be rude.
"Roddy...I really need some energon" Wingspan said after a minute.
The racer could tell by the way the seeker made his request, that energon was not the only thing the bot needed, but Hot Rod figured it would be best to start with the energon.
Wingspan took the offered cube and drank slowly and ended up asking for more as his systems seemed starved, and he finished two more cubes by the time he was full or at least thought he was full.
Hot Rod brought a couple more cubes, and after downing them, Wingspan finally felt full. And now that he was full, it was time to take care of his other need.
Wingspan pulled his mate to him. "I need you"
Feeling the dominance coming from his mate, Hot rod played the submissive bot, allowing Wingspan to take control.
Wingspan pinned his mate to the berth and kissed here and there, caressing as he went.
"T-t-take me please.." was the soft cry from Hot Rod, which encourage Wingspan to keep moving.
Wingspan kissed his mate before preparing his mate, when he was ready Wingspan finally entered his mate.
Soon enough both overloaded and settled in a bit.
Elsewhere, Sunny and Sides were goofing off and were heading for the med bay, having no idea that they were about to meet their sparkmate, Ravenswing, a seeker who was just brash enough to take the twins on head on.
"Hey Ratchet you in here" Sideswipe called once they entered the med bay.
Ratchet sighed, before responding, "and what damage are you dragging in here today?"
"No damage, promise"
"then what to the dishonor do I owe this pleasure?" asked ratchet, not noticing that the twins had stopped talking when they caught sight of Ravenswing.
"We uh..." Sideswipe started as he stared at the seeker.
Ravenswing, realizing he was the target of the twins stare soon got up, towering over them and moved slowly toward them. the two were speechless as they stared at the old, injured seeker. "well, what do we have here' asked rave, as the two twins seemed to watch his every move intently.
"Sunnstreaker and his brother Sideswipe" Ratchet provided and that seemed to snap the twins out of their silence.
"Trouble for all" Sunny said.
Rave looked over the two, knowing somehow that they were drawn to him. 'You won't be any trouble for me' stated rave.
"Oh yes…' started sunny
"Quiet, don't ruin the moment' replied Ravenswing and soon Sunny was falling in line.
"Ok I will admit I'm impressed" Ratchet muttered as not many could get Sunny in line.
"Who are you to tell him quiet" Sideswipe said.
"Stop" was all Ravenswing had to say and Sideswipe was quiet, neither twin understanding, but neither one wanting to piss off Ravenswing. Ratchet smiled, as if all worked out, Sunny and Sides would soon be among those who were carrying or had carried sparklings.
Ratchet stayed close manly to make sure Ravenswing would be alright but he was also enjoying the show.
Rave knew that these two were meant for him, though no one else knew it for sure. "Come here now" is all the older seeker had to say and Sunny and Sides obeyed. And once the twins got close enough, rave grabbed them and attempted to ravish them right here and right now.
"Hold it" Ratchet said stopping Ravenswing. "Not in my med bay and you are not in a state to be discharged."
Rave understood what the medic meant, as Ravenswing always respected medics. 'I am sorry ratchet. It is just with two beauties like these two around, it is hard for me not to try and get some" rave said as he used on hand to tease Sides's aft while the other teased Sunny's interfacing panel. Ratchet was surprised at just how quick this relative stranger had already tamed the two prankster twins.
When the twins were starting to respond Ratchet shook his head. "You can play with them when your well but not before"
Rave reluctantly stopped, getting a groan from both bots, as he dismissed them.
Ratchet made the twins leave with well aimed wrenches and like usual he never even had to look when he threw them and the twins were out the med bay doors.
Away from the old seeker, sunny and Sides came to their senses, but had no idea how that seeker had controlled them.
They of course found themselves aroused and headed for privacy to take care of their needs.
Back in the med bay Ratchet ordered Ravenswing back to the berth. "Now stay there you hear me"
"Yes ratchet;" replied Rave..
Ratchet rehooked up the energon drip and went to his office.
Ravenswing kept thinking about those two lambos, wondering when he would be able to take them.
Optimus came by after he had recharged and refueled to speak to Ravenswing.
"I take it, I owe you, especially now since I am better' rave stated.
"What do you think you owe me" Optimus asked in turn.
"you're the leader, you decide who stays and who goes' replied Rave, not understanding that that was not how the Autobots worked.
"I do not know what you've been told but Autobots do not just kick people out, you are welcome to stay here. We offer you asylum"
Rave was surprised to realize that one side of this war actually was good as he had heard nothing but bad things about both sides. And all he said was one thing, 'thank you"
"How are you feeling" Optimus asked.
"better" replied rave, not wanting to go into detail.
"If you wish to stay here I will see to it a room is made ready for you"
"I would appreciate that, thank you' replied Rave.
"Listen to Ratchet and you'll be well before you know it and when you're ready we will talk more"
'Will do and thank you' rave replied.
Optimus nodded. "Get some rest" He said before leaving.
Rave nodded, no one knowing that he planned as soon as possible to get the prankster twins.
Ratchet tended to Ravenswing and by the time he cleared the old seeker Optimus had a room ready for him.
After being discharged from the med bay and stopping by his quarters, Rave headed straight for the two prankster bots, heading straight for their room.
Sunny and Sides were in the rec room celebrating a recent victory over the cons not knowing what was coming their way.
Ravenswing was much quieter than most bots around the base, as he had learned how to silently walk even run, and hence his prey had no idea that he was coming. On his way to their room, the seeker, looking much younger now that he was repaired and feeling much more frisky, found the twins. And realizing that his own heat cycle was coming, the seeker moved in toward Sunny and Sides, as he knew, somehow, that they were destined to be his mates.
One of the others that was there with them happened to see the seeker as they got up to leave.
Sunny and Sides were laughing as they were describing some of the battle.
Unaware that they had lost their true audience, Sunny and Sides continued talking, but felt compelled to stroke and touch each other, still unaware of the presence that was inducing this feeling of lust. Ravenswing smiled, as his powerful hormones hit the horny young lambos. The only thing that Rave had to decide was when to join, as he wanted to take the two by surprise.
"Man if you two are gonna do that again go to your room would ya? We don't need to see you face each other on tha table"
Ravenswing smiled. "I can take you to your room, come with me" the seeker said as he grabbed the two horny Lambos, too lust-filled to resist the seekers advances.
The others just laughed shaking their head. "Their all yours"
Rave didn't mind the laughter, as it just meant that no one would come to find them any time soon, and so instead of taking the two to their tiny room, Ravenswing took the two to his larger quarters, though since they were horny, neither twin cared as once inside, Rave began to play with the two, driving them even madder and in need of an overload that only the seeker could help the two achieve. "Come on boys, let me in to play" stated Ravenswing, and soon the two bots were lavishing attention on the older seeker.
Sunny and Sides were just acting on basic instincts, the need to mate and often. Sides went down on his knees licking the seekers panel as his own opened.
Ravenswing played with Sunny's cable, which had been released earlier. Sunny was completely gone as Ravenswing pulled the bot in for a searing hot kiss, Sides still trying desperately to coax Rave's interfacing panel to open.
Sides kept licking and started rubbing and petting begging it almost to open as his brother was locked in a heavy make out session basically.
Soon, Sides's efforts were rewarded as Rave revealed his large, hard, throbbing arousal. Sides looked at the object with love and lust in his optics, willing to do whatever just to have the wonderful cable inside him. "Suck me" was all Rave said, causing Sides immediately to take the cable in his mouth, while Sunny was purring as rave continued to tease his cable and virgin front port and kissing the bot with searing hot kisses.
Sunny was in heaven and did something he never did and had he been in his right processor he might have caught it, he started begging Rave for more.
Rave enjoyed the begging, not knowing it was not Sunny's norm. "You want me in your hot virgin port, my precious? You want that?" asked Ravenswing to both Sunny and Sides, pretty sure of the answer he would get as he played with them both.
Within moments of Ravenswing asking that both twins were begging him to interface with them both, Sides not being a valve virgin like his brother since his brother was always on top.
Ravenswing smiled, as he knew who he wanted first, the virgin. "Sides, help me prep Sunny, as we are going to initiate him into feeling tremendous pleasure." Sides reluctantly let the hot cable go and began helping Rave take Sunny, even going so far to tell Rave all of Sunny's secret hotspots. Ravenswing smiled, this was going to be easier than he thought. "One thing You both must agree to before I take either of you. You must agree to become my sparkmates and being willing to help me have a family. Do you agree?" rave asked as he sexually teased both twins.
As far both gone as the two were they didn't even think about it, didn't think that this was a forever decision they were agreeing to as their processors were so lust filled like never before. They agreed.
And with the agreement, Ravenswing plunged into Sunny's virgin port, and began plowing away even as he played with Sides. Ravenswing was truly happy now that he had sparkmates of his own and he was going to do the best he could to not only take care of them as well as any sparklings they produced, but he also was going to give them the best time he could, even though he was much older than either one of them. Ravenswing coaxed out Sunny's spark while releasing his own and soon Sides's spark joined the mix and all three were drawn together bonding and merging at the same time, causing all three bots to overload, and both Sunny and Sides's sparks briefly changed colors, indicating to Ravenswing that he had successfully knocked up both his mates. And now that he had, his brief heat cycle subsided and he lay between his two mates, waiting for them to wake.
It took a little over an hour before the brothers started to come back online with a groan and Sunny was wondering why the hell his port hurt like it did then he saw Ravenswing.
"How are you feeling, my precious?" Ravenswing asked of Sunny, not expecting the answer he was going to get.
"Precious? What the pit are you talking about, where the hell are we? What the hell happened?" Sunny demanded.
"why not call you precious, as you and your twin are my mates, and you are in my room. We bonded, my dear, and if I am right, both you and your twin will be carrying and sparked soon" replied Ravenswing gently, attempting to soothe his mate. Sunny wanted no part of it, while Sides was just waking, enjoying the warm feelings that were circling in his spark.
Then Sides heard his brother yelling and of course didn't know what about. "Mmmm, Sunny did you mess your paint job again" He said onlining his optics.
"I am not sure what is wrong with him, my sweet," Ravenswing said to Sides as he gently stroked the bots faceplates, 'but I just was telling him that the three of us are bonded and that I think you and your twin might be carrying soon, though I can't say for sure." Sides was startled, but realized that Ravenswing really meant no harm, and Sides began to realize that maybe this was a good thing.
"Bonded? I..." Sideswipe managed. "Sparked..." As comforted as he was by having a mate he was still a bit overwhelmed and he could figure out now what was wrong with his brother. "We just...we never planned on bonding, ever"
"I think part of that is due to you both thought that no one could ever love both of you enough to bond with both of you. You are reluctant to split from each other. Well, I love both of you, and Primus never would have allowed the bond if we were not meant for each other. I just hope that both of you can grow to love an old seeker like me" replied Ravenswing, still watching as the twins were trying to figure out exactly how they felt about all this.
Sunstreaker being Sunstreaker wasn't about to have any of it and he made to leave.
"Sunny wait" Sides said getting up after his brother.
Sunstreaker turned around to see his twin crying a bit, 'If you leave, you not only turn your back on Ravenswing, You turn your back on me, as I plan on staying. I know he didn't exactly go about this the best way, but I can feel how much he cares for both of us. If you go, you go alone" and with that Sides ran back to the old seeker and began crying into the seeker's chest. Ravenswing did his best to soothe his mate, wondering what Sunny's decision was going to be.
"Sideswipe" Sunny said looking at his twin. "How can you do that? Make me choose?"
Sides pulled slightly away from the seeker, before speaking, "Because Ravenswing was right, the main reason we stated that we would never bond was that we never believed that there was someone out there who could love us both equally and want both of us as mates. Well, primus sent us a mech who does, loves both of us and is willing to be with us. Why can't you see what a gift this is and stop being so rude" replied sides, before continuing to cry into his new mate's chest, hurting from the apparent desertion of his twin.
"Did you forget brother that I do not want sparklings" Sunny said. "And yet here we are possibly both sparked"
"But that was because we both knew that if we as twins caused a sparkling, it was likely to offline from a serious glitch. There is now new data in the equation,' replied sides, frustrated and hurting badly from his twin's rejection.
"And how do we know even with new data that, that wouldn't still happen" Sunny said. "Now we're forever bonded to someone we don't know" A seeker at that was the silent unspoken words.
"Sunstreaker, what would you like to know. I am willing to answer any questions. But I will say this, I have never been a con, and I won't lie, as you will know what is the truth, as we are spark bonded. Ask me what you will, I can take it. If I can survive an attack from Megatron who left me to rust and die after I refused to join him, I can answer anything that you can throw at me" stated Ravenswing, still soothing the red Lambo that was crying in his arms.
"Why us, why would a seeker want two mechs who make it a mission to take seekers out"
"that was Primus's decision, I can't explain it any other way. My spark was about ready to jump out of its casing when I first saw both of you when I was healing in the med bay. I didn't know why you were chosen, I just knew you were" replied Ravenswing, which satisfied Sides, but not Sunny.
"Not good enough" Sunny said. "Why should we trust you"
"because Seekers are programmed to protect those who, they love fiercely, and will die if necessary to keep their mates alive. And while I can't make you trust me or believe me, all I can do is ask for a chance. Before I got here, I lived for years with injuries hiding in the remotest parts of the galaxy believing I was the last of my kind – the last of the seekers who refused to enter the civil war, the last one to believe that seekers and bots should be allowed to live in peace, and believing I was the last of my family, and it wasn't until I came here that I found that one of my triplet brothers was still alive…" replied Ravenswing, babbling on about his family, how he had gotten hurt and how he remembered Vos and many other things, causing Sides to send more love out to the older seeker, who appeared to be on the verge of breaking down.
Ravenswing even choked up a bit as he mentioned his twin brother Darkwing who had been murdered in the cruelest way by Megatron.
A buried part of Sunstreaker felt for the seeker but he had stopped being that caring artist that he used to be before the war long ago. He didn't want this bond he didn't want to be bound to a mech forever, his twin being the exception since they were each half of one whole. He could feel his twins hurt so badly and with a grunt he came back over to the berth.
"Thank you for coming back, if not for me, for your twin, as I know what it feels like to have half of you ripped away. IN our triplet sparking, Darkwing and I were identical twins, while our younger triplet, Thundercracker, was a fraternal triplet.' Ravenswing said, hoping that Sunny and Sides would see that he knew what it felt like to be a twin and a twin torn in half.
"Were you one spark split into two like we were?" Sides asked.
"Yes we were, and that is why both Darkwing, who was older than me by minutes, and I, older than TC by mere minutes as well, did our best to stay away from the war, as Megatron wanted both of us. I lived for years, knowing Darkwing was dead and believing that TC was dead, until I came here and learned my youngest brother had had the audacity to defy both of us and join the cons. I am still mad at him for doing that ever. And if I ever get near Megatron again, I swear, I am going to kill that bot, for both Darkwing and TC" replied Ravenswing.
"I make no promises" Sunny finally said. "But for my brothers sake I will give you a chance, its not like I have a choice"
"thank you, Sunstreaker, as I am sure Sideswipe will feel better. I can only hope that at some point, I can earn your trust and your love" replied Ravenswing, surprising Sunny as he had not realized that the last few pleas from the seeker were not for sunny to love the seeker but for Sunny to realize that he was hurting his twin.
Sunny laid down though kept a bit of distance between himself and the seeker that was now his bonded mate.
Seeing that both were sound asleep now, Ravenswing gently extracted himself from the situation, and covered the two sleeping twins, who snuggled together. Ravenswing kissed both of them before heading off, as he had a family to visit – TC's.
At their quarters, TC was preparing and cleaning up, and just acting strange, as he had not yet been able to tell his mates about Ravenswing being his older brother. All TC had told his mates was that there was now another Autobot seeker. And while Starscream was resting and Warp was watching the 9 seekerlings, Skyfire was doing his best to help TC, even though Skyfire wasn't feeling the best.
Skyfire shook it off and tried to not let it show as he helped TC. "My love what's the matter" Skyfire asked TC.
"Ravenswing is coming to visit, my dear, and I want the place to look good" replied TC, not saying exactly why.
"But, love, please tell me, what is so special about Ravenswing, as you are never like this" stated Skyfire.
"Ravenswing is…he is… he is my brother" replied TC only loud enough so that Skyfire could barely hear what the seeker said.
"Brother? Did I hear you correctly my love"
"Yes, Fire, you did. I thought both my older two brothers, both identical twins of our triplet sparking, were dead, but I recently found that Ravenswing, the middle seeker of the three of us, survived his almost near destruction at Megatron's hand' replied TC, keeping the conversation between him and Skyfire, not wanting to upset Warp, Starscream, or the seekerlings.
"And how do you feel about this knowledge" Skyfire asked coming over and gently held his mate.
"I am happy to know I am no longer alone, as well as I am happy he is online, but I am embarrassed at ever being a con after learning what had happened to him was from Megatron. And I feel like he is angry with me for ever having joined the cons. But I was young, naïve, lost, not knowing where else to go. I just hope he doesn't hate me" replied TC, showing a weakness that Skyfire never realized TC had, TC was very worried about what his own family thought of him.
"If he hates you then he is a fool" Skyfire said. "Know that you are loved and your past does not matter"
