Curled up in Optimus as they traveled away from Tranquility, Sam sighed and curled under his blanket. The rumble of the larger body around him made him slowly relax as a few bruises throbbed. They had just watched his childhood home be destroyed as the groups separated into 4 smaller groups and scattered.
Bumblebee had taken off in another direction while Sam had gone with Optimus. Ratchet and Prowl had taken his parents with them and had promised to meet up with them at Area 51, which had been closed down and revamped as a back up base.
"Are you alright, Sam?" Optimus' voice broke in through the thoughts that were running around his mind. Sam smiled as the bed under him sank down and hugged him.
"Yeah, I am. Just thinking about what has been going on," Sam admitted, stroking over the bedding and smiling at the warmth under his fingers. "I just can't believe that the idiots squished my house."
"The military will be able to rebuild it for you," Optimus said, feeling Sam smile against the bed.
"I know, but all of the memories won't be there," Sam hummed, curling up even more.
"It's the memories that make the home," Optimus said, Sam nodding once more. "They will find what can be saved for you and your parents. Lennox will see to it."
"I'm glad. I guess me and mom and dad will just have to make new memories," Sam huffed, shaking his head.
"A new room to break in to," Optimus chuckled, unsurprised when Sam demanded he find a place to pull over and screw him at the thoughts that invaded his mind.
