Having been summoned back to the med bay to serve as a guide for Lancex, Jazz now was leading Lancex around the base and explained what was what. Lancex eagerly listened, wanting to make sure he knew what was where, as it was very important. However, while they were seeing the base, Lancex received a comm to come to Optimus' office. Lancex requested Jazz take the bot there. Jazz did as asked, and as Jazz left, he spotted Prowl and Jazz was blushing a bit as he left. Prowl, being the dense bot he was, didn't notice. Lancex noticed but thought little of it as Prowl led Lancex further into the office.
Once Lancex reached the Prime, Prowl left, leaving Optimus alone with the new arrival. "It's been a long time, Lancex" Optimus suddenly stated.
"Yes, Prime" Lancex answered with utmost respect. "You went missing for many years."
"Well, that was thanks to the cons. You seeā¦" Optimus replied and explained how they had ended up on earth and how they had finally been awakened. "Wow. I thought you had died and no Prime had been named due to you needed to be found to release the matrix."
Optimus nodded at that. "Well, all the quarters here have been assigned and I really have no place for you, at least not alone" Optimus informed Lancex.
"I will take whatever quarters you assign me. I don't need to have a full quarters to myself, sir."
Optimus nodded, and while he didn't like this, he opened his own berth wider. "Right now, this is all I can spare, especially now that we have the dinobots" Optimus said, with a hint of regret in his voice as he thought of something from long ago.
"These are acceptable, Prime" Lancex responded, and he went to lay down and was soon out. Optimus was a bit surprised at how quickly Lancex had gone into full recharge. Optimus was debating internally with himself. It was true, he had shared a berth before but it was either a femme or it had been because there was a shortage due to the war and he had to bunk with another soldier, but this was weird. Optimus felt off about this, like his spark was reacting to this bot. But seeing that He himself needed recharge too, Optimus laid next to the other bot and was soon out cold and completely unaware that his systems had snuggled up close to Lancex.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Grimlock was tossing and turning in his own berth. His mind continued to drift back to thinking of the new bot that had recently arrived. Grimlock seemed to know and sense that not only was this bot submissive but also able to carry sparklings. And as Grimlock dreamed of taking Lancex, his senstive metal oberloaded inside his groin plating. He would be in a bit of a mess once he woke up, but for now he enjoyed his dream, hoping to make it reality sooner rather than later.
