TFA: Youngling
Ch.14~ Long Day
"Star, you okay?" Sari quizzed, I turned to see Bee holding her in his servos as they approached. "Sorry, if that scared you…"
"I wasn't scared, I just… I remembered something that happened to someone I cared about back in my world…" I explained.
"Did it have to do with the humans in your world?" she quizzed, I nodded.
"Yeah, some not nice humans kidnapped him… They wanted to know how we worked, it nearly killed him…" I explained, she covered her mouth in horror. "I know your father isn't like those humans."
"You do?" she asked, sounding shocked, I nodded.
"Yeah, he was trying to help me get home and worried about me. I know he isn't like them… I'm sure he had a reason."
"Yeah… Wish I knew what it was…" Sari muttered, I smiled at her.
"When we find him you can ask him." I soothed, she smiled.
"Right." She hummed. "Hey, do you want to come with me to the factory tomorrow? I bet you can walk through it with ease."
That actually sounded kinda fun, I get to go into a place built for humans. Besides everyone is going to hunt for All Spark shards tomorrow. It'll be nice to spend the day with Sari and get out of my own head for a bit.
"Sounds fun." I chimed.
(Later)
I walked with Sari through the halls of her father's factory, she looked stressed. I guess it would be hard to be put in charge of this whole place. Sari was still just a kid, even if she was older than me. It was interesting to be able to walk through a human building with such ease, I only had to duck through doors.
"Just who I wanted to see." Someone stated, I turned to see an older male, he was wearing an interesting suit.
"Powell, I'm kinda busy," Sari whined, so his name was Powell.
"I was looking around, and I have to ask Sari, can you prove you are Professor Sumdac's daughter?" he questioned, what did he mean?
"What are you talking about?" she replied, seems she was as lost as me.
"Well, you see, I was doing some digging and I couldn't find any record of your birth." He stated, "meaning, you are not going to be the head of Sumdac Systems."
"Mr. Powell was it; you're going to need to prove your statements," I informed, he glared at me.
"This isn't your business robot." He huffed.
"My name is Stargazer, and it is my business if you are trying to insinuate my friend isn't allowed to run her father's business without even showing proof." I retorted crossing my servo over my chassis. "Also, I believe something like this requires the services of the police and court systems."
"She's right!" Sari added, he pulled out something from his suit jacket.
"I looked around and I could not find a birth certificate, will, social security number or anything like that pertaining to a Sari Sumdac." He explained, extending a paper with no data with her image and name, looked like public records… "You can't even prove you exist."
"Who do you think you are?!" Sari exclaimed.
"The Board of Directors has decided that I will be the new CEO of Sumdac Systems in Professor Sumdac's place. I will have to ask that you pack your things and leave little lady." He stated.
"This is my home! This is my father's company!" Sari exclaimed.
"Can you prove that?" he insisted, I scooped up Sari.
"Sari, let's go get your things." I soothed.
"You don't believe him, do you?" she quizzed, I shook my helm.
"I don't, but there isn't much we can do. The others will find your father and he'll set things straight." I replied, she tears up but nodded.
(Bumblebee's POV)
I watched as Star and Sari left Sumdac towers, Sari looked upset and Star was carrying a bed and bag. Sari called and told me to come to get them, what happened?
"Bee think you can tie this to my hood?" Star asked, motioning to the bed.
"What happened?" I questioned, Sari rubbed at her eyes.
"I just wanna go," Sari whined, I nodded as Star offered Sari her bag.
"Okay, and I'll take the bed you just take Sari back to base." I offered; Star nodded passing me the bed.
Transforming Sari shoved her bag into Star's backseat before jumping in and the two femes drove off. Picking up the bed I looked back up at the tower in confusion. What happened? Did Sari get in trouble for the damages from yesterday?
(Later)
When I arrived back at base, I saw both of them had settled on the couch. Stargazer was huddled up in a tarp as Sari did the same with a blanket. They were both staring at the TV as it played some cartoon show.
Carefully I carried Sari's bed toward my room, I can keep an eye on her this way. Setting it down in a corner away from my berth, then I headed back to where they were huddled. I quietly leaned over the back of the couch gazing at the show they were watching. It looked to be about magical heroes in odd costumes. Humans come up with some crazy youngling entertainment.
They needed a distraction and clearly, this was not cutting it. I rose back up and stretched my servos up. I bet if I get really invested in a game they'll cheer up. I quickly made my way around the couch and stood in front of the TV.
"I am going to beat expert mode of Dark Spark!" I announced, they both began to look at me curiously. "You two are gonna watch me become the gaming master!"
"No way you can beat expert mode." Sari taunted, I smirked.
"Just watch me!" I boasted, they're both smiling now, perfect.
(Jazz's POV)
We arrived back and I could help but smile as I saw Stargazer and little Sari sitting with Bee on the couch. They all looked to be having fun, the two femes egging him on in the game he was playing. I heard Sentinel mutter something behind me, he really did not like Bumblebee. He can be a real pain in the tailpipe.
"Seems they're having fun." Prowl stated, I turned to see him walking in.
"Seems so," I affirmed; I could see a fond smile on his faceplate.
"He's good with them." He stated, I nodded.
"Yeah, seems ta be able ta get on their wavelength," I added, he smirked.
"Most would call that being immature."
"He's not that bad."
"He can be, he matures when it comes to them."
"What are you playing, little buddy?" Bulkhead asked approaching the trio.
"Bee is trying to beat expert mode on Dark Spark, and totally failing!" Sari chimed.
"Sit down, I need somebot who's on my side." Bee stated, Bulkhead chuckled but sat on the ground.
"Sure thing, little buddy. You two give him some time, Bee is the game master." Bulkhead stated the twins would get along great with them.
"Optimus tell your bots that this isn't the time for fun and games." Sentinel ranted; Optimus sighed.
"Sentinel, give them a break, besides we don't have any leads, not much use of racing around blindly." Optimus soothed.
"Come on SP, let them have their fun," I added, he huffed crossing his servos over his chassis.
"I believe they are right," Magnus stated, as he walked inside with Ratchet. "Rest is a necessary part of life."
"Yes sir." He submitted.
"Don't tell me young bots like you forget how to have fun?" Ratchet huffed.
"Of course not!" Sentinel shouted; the old medic smirked.
"How about we test these young bots on that?" Ratchet posed, looking to Magnus with a smirk. "Or did you finally stop carrying high-grade with ya."
"Good drinks are wasted on the youth." Magnus countered; Ratchet let out a bellowing laugh.
"Ain't that the truth, guess you'll have to find your own fun young mech, us old bots are going to enjoy some drinks." Ratchet laughed; I couldn't help but smirk as they both headed off toward the ship.
"Did he just…" Optimus began, his tone made me burst out laughing.
"Stop laughing Jazz!" Sentinel roared, I slowed down my laughs to a few snickers.
"Sorry SP." I snickered, "seems tha old mechs are beatin' us."
"Like slag, they are, come on Optimus we're going to have some actual fun!" Sentinel hissed and began to drag Optimus away.
"Do you think we should let them go?" Prowl quizzed.
"They're big bots, they can handle themselves. I think we should have some fun of our own." I hummed, wrapping my arms around him.
"That sounds perfect." He replied.
Smirking I scooped him up and carried him toward our room. He smirked back wrapping his legs around my waist moving his servos around my neckcables. Stepping into the room I moved to the tree pressing him against it. He leaned forward and we began to kiss, I hummed into the kiss as I ran my servos over his thigh plating.
'Love it when you take charge.' He hummed over our bond.
'Is that so? Guess I need to do it more often.' I mused back.
'Merge or hardline?'
'Why not both?'
'Greedy.'
'With you always.'
I heard a click and I groped to feel his hardline cord and port out, I clicked my cover open and began to plug us in. I gasped nearly breaking our kiss as I felt his charge hit me. Seems he was just as revved up as me, I sent my charges back. Our charges rose as we both fed off each other. Frag this was good. I felt him tremble our kiss becoming sloppy.
Close. So close.
Finally, I felt my charge max out and I fell into overload, Prowl following me mere seconds after. We drowned out the sounds of pleasure in a very desperate sloppy kiss. Soon our charges began to fade and we broke our heated kiss to pant.
"Merge, please," I begged; he kissed my cheekplate.
"Open up for me then." He hummed.
I bared my spark and he did the same, I leaned us together and felt our sparks touch. He captured my lip components in a kiss to drown of my cry of pleasure. I could feel our charge through my hardline and his pleasure and love through our merge. Frag this was perfect.
'So beautiful, love it when you're desperate." He purred over our bond.
'Been so long.' I whined.
'I know, such a good mate waiting for me. Go ahead, overload for me beautiful.'
'Prowler!'
My overload hit me hard and I nearly collapsed but I felt in quickly brace me. I could see him shaking as he was in the throws of his own overload. I let myself lean into his hold more as I rode out the pleasure as long as I could. Finally, it faded away but I didn't move, I felt him slowly ease us down. I let him pull me into an embrace as he began to unplug our hardlines. Gently he closed up my panel before pulling me into his lap.
"So perfect." He hummed, I nuzzled him. "It's alright, you can go to recharge."
"M'kay," I murmured offlining my optics.
"Love you." He hushed as I fell into recharge.
(Stargazer's POV)
I felt Bee pick me up from the couch, I was barely awake now. He gently patted my backstruts before he began to carry me somewhere. I snuggled into his plating sleepily. So tired.
"Prowl! Jazz!" Bee called, oh he was taking me to Sire and Carrier.
"Coming." Sire replied, "Done for the night."
"Yeah, Star and Sari fell asleep. Jazz not here."
"He's recharging. Thanks for playing with her."
"No problem, I had fun too. Besides they both needed some cheering up."
"Did something happen?"
"Yeah, not too sure what yet. Wanted to get them smiling."
"You're good with them."
"Ah, thanks…"
"I mean it."
"Just don't like seeing them upset. Anyway, you have a good night."
"You too, make sure to actually get some recharge."
"I will."
I felt Sire rub my backstruts as he carried me into the room. I onlined my optics to see Carrier was recharging on the berth. Sire strode over and gently nudge him. Carrier visor slowly online and he smiled at us warmly. Slowly he sat up and opened his servos, Sire gently passed me to Carrier.
"Hey sweetspark, had fun?" he quizzed, I nodded. "Good ta hear. Now time for little sparks to sleep."
I nodded and let myself cuddle up into his plating. I heard some shifting and soon I felt Sire's frame at my backstruts. Cuddled between them again, Carrier cuddled me closer. I offlined my optics and let their warm frames lull me in recharge.
(Jazz's POV)
I slowly felt myself online, I could feel Prowl was still in berth with us. Seems he decided to sleep in, slowly onlining my optics I saw he was still in recharge. He looked so serene in his recharge; I leaned my helm closer to his. So handsome.
I heard a whine from below, pulling back I looked down to see Stargazer was whining in her recharge. I began to pet her helm, and soon I saw him begin to awaken. Her optics onlined and then her visor onlined, she looked up at me with a sleepy smile. I leaned down to kiss her helm which made her chirp.
Pulling back, I saw her press herself back to my chestplates, I felt her nuzzle them. So affectionate. I gently petted her backstruts as she snuggled up to me. Then I heard her whine again, I looked down to see her grimacing.
"Something wrong?" I asked, she nodded.
"Chest hurts." She muttered.
That didn't sound good, I reached over and shook Prowl's shoulderplate, he onlined slowly. He looked to me in confusion as his visor onlined. Stargazer let out a whimper which caused him to look to her in concern.
"She said her chest hurts," I stated, he quickly rose from the berth.
"Let's take her to Ratchet." He said, I nodded and took his offered servo.
We headed toward the ship where the old medic had departed for yesterday. Stargazer let out whines and whimpers, her digits occasionally digging into my plating. I hummed softly to her, I felt Prowl stop and I saw we had arrived at the ship.
The ramp was down, we both walked in, we headed to the main room and I saw a few empty bottles of high-grade. Please let Ratchet be sober enough to check Star over. Scanning the room, I saw the old medic in recharge leaning back in one of the chairs.
"Ratchet," Prowl called walking over to the medic. "Ratchet."
"Huh?" he muttered slowly onlining. "Prowl, what do you want?"
"Stargazer is complaining of chest pain." He stated the medic sprung up from the chair.
"This ship has a medbay right?" he questioned, I nodded.
"Lead the way, not much I can do here." He ordered, I began to lead them both toward the small medbay.
Entering the old mech gave the room a scan before motioning to the berth, I gently sat down. Stargazer was whimpering, I began to hum again rubbing her backstruts as the old medic gather some tools. He pulled over cart with tools on it.
"Alright turn her around." He stated, I carefully turned her toward the medic.
She let out a whine, the old medic picked up a scanner and began to scan her chestplates. She whimpered again and tried to turn back to me. I kept her facing him, which made her whine. It was spark-breaking to deny her but she needed to be checked over.
"I'm gonna half to open her chestplates." He stated, I nodded and held her as he manual opened her chestplates.
Her chestplate parted and he looked inside scrutinizingly before letting out a string of curses. He turned to me with a hard expression, I felt my spark skip a pulse. What was wrong with her? She had been fine yesterday?
"She needs to feed off your spark energy." He stated, I nodded.
"Tell me what ta do," I stated, he nodded.
"Turn her to you." He stated, I gently turned her back to me. "Now open your chestplates and bring her up."
I opened my chestplates, and raised her up, she leaned into me. I felt my spark drain a bit. I ran a servo over her backstruts as she feed of my spark energy. She relaxed into my hold, and soon she began to let out chirps. I relaxed a bit as she continued to chirp.
Soon I heard her chestplates close, I pulled her back and closed my own chestplates. She looked tired as I laid her back against me. I gently rubbed her backstruts. Her visor offlined followed soon by her optics. Seems whatever happened, it wore her out.
"Seems she didn't have enough contact with her birth creator's sparks as a sparkling." He stated, I pulled her closer.
"Given what she's told us, that makes sense." Prowl replied, I felt his servo around me. "What should we do to help her?"
"Allowing her spark to feed of either of your spark energies like she just did. Doing that every cycle should make sure she doesn't have this problem again." Ratchet answered, I nodded.
"Will do," I affirmed, he nodded.
"While we're here, I want to do a more throrough exam on her. This is more equipped than the makeshift medbay on our ship." He mused.
"Do what ya gotta do," I stated.
