Chapter summary: Omega finds out the hard way that his daughter had a personality trait that he hoped she wouldn't inherit from him.

"Hello" Normal talk.

"Hello" Talking through the bond.

"Hello" Com-link/Private Com-link.

"Hello" Thoughts.

Omega thought he knew every aspect of his daughter's personality and where she had got them from, for example her shyness, he knew that was something she had developed on her own since he didn't count himself as shy, granted Beta could be a little shy at times but not to the extent of Ome. But her wit, determination and friendly personality, they were definitely from him and he couldn't help but feel glad that she had inherited some of his personality traits because of the family bond. However, there was one more personality trait that hadn't made itself known yet, but it made itself known, in a battle of all places.

It started off normal at first, or as normal as a battle can be, and Ome was doing her usual thing in teaming up with her Sire and taking out Decepticons. But that was until she came face to face with a Decepticon Seeker she had never seen before, he looked to be coloured burgundy and lilac with what looked like an orange cockpit on his chest.

The Seeker smirked "Well well well, if it isn't the puny little Autobot" he retorted.

Ome narrowed her good optic.

"I've heard all about you, you team up with that big buffoon Omega Supreme" the Seeker continued "I'm surprised he's still functioning, should be in the scrapheap by now"

Ome growled a little at the nerve this Seeker had insulting her Sire, but she knew she couldn't reveal that, no Decepticon knew of her family relation to Omega and it had to be kept that way so she wouldn't be used as potential blackmail by the Decepticons "You're only insulting him like that because he's not close, if he was you'd be running off" she retorted.

The Seeker snorted "I'm not scared of him" he replied before he smirked "I'm surprised you're still online, pipsqueak"

Ome growled as her anger grew, the puny and pipsqueak comments, along with the snide remarks about her Sire, was begining to rile her up.

"You're so puny that I could blast you with just one shot of my superior laser and you would be dust!" the Seeker retorted.

That seemed to do it for Ome, she snarled and fired a shot at him.

The Seeker was knocked back from the shot.

"Call me puny and pipsqueak again! I dare you!" Ome snarled "go on say it so I can shove my blaster so far up your aft you'll be eating plasma!"

Omega could feel his daughter's anger, which was something he'd never felt before, and looked to see where she was. He was horrified to discover his daughter was squaring off against Starscream of all mechs, and she wasn't backing down either, even when Starscream stood back up, practically towering over her.

"That was a silly move puny Autobot" Starscream growled "now prepare to die!" then he was hit by a laser and was knocked back a good distance, he knew who had fired that blast, Omega Supreme "gah! Decepticons retreat!"

The remaining Deceptions retreated.

Ome powered down her blasters and retracted, she then flew over to where her Sire.

"What were you doing squaring off with Starscream?" Omega asked, clearly not too happy about it.

"Who?" Ome answered.

"The Seeker, his name was Starscream" Omega replied "Megatron's Second-in-Command, why in the name of Primus we're you squaring off with him?"

"He insulted you and called me puny and pipsqueak, do you expect me to take that kind of thing from him?" Ome replied, clearly still riled up.

It was then Omega realised that his daughter had the one personality trait that he had hoped she wouldn't inherit from him, his anger, he would be the first to admit that he did have a bit of a temper. But it was rare that his anger showed in full force unless he was pushed to that point, and if he was pushed to the point where he couldn't hold back any longer, he would let loose. Luckily it was never physical, but a lot of verbal and some curses thrown in here and there, most were wise not to push him to that point. Why did his daughter have to inherit that trait from him? Well there was nothing he could do about it, the only thing he could do was advise her to reign in that temper, which he knew would be a challenge because she was still young and learning. He gave a sigh "Ome, trust me I've heard enough insults from Decepticons that it doesn't bother me" he said "as for Starscream insulting you, Decepticons will do that to get a reaction out of you, you cannot let your anger dictate your actions, especially in a battle, that could have ended badly had I not intervened and I will not lose you because of something like that, ok?"

Ome sighed as she calmed down "Yeah I know, I'm sorry, it just really got to me when Starscream was saying those things about us" she replied "I didn't let anything slip but still"

"Yes I know, all I ask is that you do your best to keep that temper in check, alright?" Omega responded.

Ome nodded "I'll...I'll try" she replied.

Omega nodded before he gently brought his daughter close to his chest, his thumb gently rubbing her helm "Don't scare me like that again, ok?" he whispered.

Ome hadn't realised she had scared him when she had squared off against Starscream, but she nodded, snuggling a little closer to his chest "I won't, I'll do my best, I promise" she replied quietly.
