Mirage was startled by a knock on his door, Mirage sighed and walked to the door, figuring it was Soundwave coming to ask why he's acting strange.

"Optimus, uh can I help you?" Mirage gasped seeeing the prime in his doorway, instead of his brother.

"No I just recieved some unbelievable news, and I thought I would share it with you" Optimus Smiled entering Mirage's room.

"Right now?" Mirage asked raising an optic ridge at the prime.

"Mirage we all know you don't recharge" Optimus retorted to the new scout.

"...So what is this news, can't you share it with Ratchet?"

"I will, but I think sharing it with you, would be the best thing to do right now" Optimus replied sitting on the red scouts berth.

"Alright then..." Mirage sighed leaning against his wall, wondering what the prime had to throw at him now.

"Mirage, Bumblebee is something special, an unkown Cybertronian, he has told me of another like him, who has yet to unleash who he is, Bumblebee told me he has a strong interest in helping that young mech find who he is" Optimus spoke to the former spy with a gentle but stern tone, seeing the small mechs changes in body language.

Mirage stood completely stunned at the primes words, uncomfortably looking around his room, he had no words to say to the prime, clearly Bumblebee picked up on his essance, Bumblebee obviously did when he was a sparkling but never had the vocabulary to tell him.

"I suppose you being the father of Bumblebee, I couldn't hide from him" Mirage scoffed jokingly.

"Mirage, I can and will help you as much as I can" Optimus offered, approaching the silent nervouse scout.

"I will gladly take that help, I just can't figure a way to bring this up with the others, and I don't know how I can explain it especially, I mean it was easy for Bee, he took us all on adaventures, and we discovered who he was from that, I just look like a lost idiot, I need the help" Mirage sighed to the prime.

"First of all, Mirage you are no idiot, Second you are a very shy young mech conversations not your strong hold, and third, Mirage I'm very sure you will take us on adventures, but you have open that shell you hide in and find who you are, how can I help you?" Optimus said putting his arm around the much smaller mech.

"I'll open up, but I think I have to let myself, show who I am to the others" Mirage replied gazing up at the prime.

"Alright that's great Mirage, Bumblebee and I are here to support you" Optimus replied happily before walking to the door.

"Have a good night" Optimus said turning to leave.

"Have a good rest" Mirage sighed watching the towering mech leave his room, before turning to go sit down, not even two steps towards his berth, when another knock on his door came.

Mirage sighed and drooping his wings and dropping his helm, he slowly turned around to see Bumblebee standing in the doorframe.

"Bumblebee!?" Mirage jumped, staring with surprised optics at the still youngling.

"Mirage I came here to warn you something" Bumblebee bleeped, not starting with small talk.

"Alrighty then... is it something bad?" Mirage asked with a nervous smiled, not really knowing what this odd visit from the youngling will bring him.

"You will be shown things that the team wont be able to see, and things will happen to you unexpectedly, and you will find powers you never knew you had, clearly things are still developing within you, so you will grow into the powers that will come to you" Bumblebee explained, ignoring the former spys question.

"Oooook... thanks... for the warning... you should be recharging" Mirage uncomfortably replied, patting Bumblebee's helm and escorting him to his own room.

"Mirage if you deny your true self it will forcefully show, unwillingly making you use your powers" Bumblebee warned as he was pushed into his room by Mirage.

"Yep sure Bee, bedtime!" Mirage rolled his optics, shutting Bee's door, tired of hearing things of unknown powers and unknown Cybertronian.

"You ok buddy?" Bulkhead asked seeing the whole scene of Mirage and Bumblebee.

"Yeah fine, why!?" Mirage visibly jumped spinning around to see the giant green mech right behind him.

"What was all warnings Bee was giving you, and why were you in a rush to throw Bee back in his room?" Bulkhead asked looking at Bumblebee's closed door.

"Nothing, Bumblebee was recharge walking, nothing wierd is going on, now if you don't mind I'm going back to not recharging!" Mirage quickly replied to the wrecker, before walking back to his room, leaving the green wrecker in a confused daze.

The next morning, Bulkhead told the team about the odd scene he saw with Bumblebee and Mirage last night.

"That's wierd, why would Mirage do that?" Arcee asked in surprise.

"He's been acting a little wierd since he got back, I don't know, what do you think?" Sunstreaker mentioned to the femme and wreckers.

"I don't know, Bee do you think Mirage is acting strange?" Arcee asked turning to the youngling standing to the right of her.

"Nope" Bumblebee chirped shaking his helm at the group.

"You sure?" Bulkhead asked raising an optic ridge at the yellow scout.

"Yep, why would you ask twice?" Bumblebee questioned, as if the older bots didn't believe him.

"Just making sure Bee" Bulkhead sighed patting Bumblebee's back.

Soundwave was silently listening to the conversation from behind the wreckers, Soundwave's worry for his little brother started to fill inside of him, as his worry filled Mirage came up from behind him.

"Mirage it's nice to see you come out of hiding, how about if I replace those insignias for you?" Ratchet greeted waving Mirage over to his med bay.

"Alright" Mirage taking the offer, shrugged walking over to the medic.

"Just sit here and I'm just going to wash this off it'll only take a second" Ratchet said gesturing Mirage to take a seat on a medical berth.

Mirage did as he was told, and hopped up on the berth and waited for Ratchet to clean a tool.

"Young mech" A deep echoed voice came to Mirage's audios.

Mirage turned and saw a towering ghostly Blue mech standing beside him.

"Holy frag!" Mirage jumped, falling of the berth knocking a full energon cube off a table on his way down to the ground, causing it to land on his helm.

"Ha ha!" Bumlebee giggled at Mirage's reaction to the spiritual blue mech, meanwhile the rest of the team gasped and shot concerned looks at the small ex spy.

"Mirage are you alright!?" Ratchet gasped as he and Soundwave rushed over to help the fallen scout.

Soundwave quickly removed the energon cube from Mirage's helm, and helped the smaller mech up.

"I'm fine, thanks..." Mirage sighed excepting the help from his brother.

"What made you jump like that?" Ratchet asked handing Mirage a cloth to clean himself with.

"That was a way better reaction then mine!" Bumblebee continued to laugh at Mirage.

"Shut up Bee, you told him to do that!" Mirage growled recieving even more laughter from the youngling.

"Nope I had nothing to do with it!" Bumblebee giggled harder holding his abdomen, recieving puzzled looks from the entire team.

Soundwave tilted his helm at the two in confusion, questioning what his brother and scout were talking about.
