Sunstreaker reached out with his sensors and was able to feel his twin barely more than a servo away from him.

Sunny! The overexcited mech's thoughts slammed against him the moment the bond had fully opened from forced stasis.

Don't call me that, you two-bit glitch! Was the instant curse thrown at his boisterous twin. Ratchet make it to us in time? Surprised that he left me at anything less than fully restored.

The feelings over the bond became nervous and the golden mech knew something was wrong. Primus was it his paint? Did the half-glitches break his swords? Were they stranded on this dirt ball? No, no. It's not as bad as you think. Well… I mean it could be worse.

Tell me what… Sunstreaker tightened on his wheels when Sides' signature appeared on the other side of him as well. Actually if he focused on the blip on his sensors he could see his signature as well. He could tell it wasn't Sideswipe's holoform but he couldn't comprehend what the frag the blip was. It was an organic femme and she was close to him rumaging around on one of the side tables not too far from him. What the slag is that?

She's Arianna. And she saved your life.

Saved my life? This tiny organic? At this point Sunstreaker was sure that the other half of his spark was surely pranking him. There was absolutely no way the tiny organic could have saved his life.

Sunny, I was with her. If she hadn't fixed you we wouldn't have made it at all. I never would have been able to find you fast enough. You had lost a lot of energon. Luckily I had more and was able to give it to you before you fell into… The mech wasn't able to even finish the thought as pain rippled through the bond. Not physical pain but the kind of aching that came along with knowing he was the reason his brother had been hurt so badly. The utter spark ache convinced the other mech that the organic really had saved him. He wasn't sure how he felt about that but he knew and that was enough.

Side's holoform entered the enclosed area from a side door and moved over to Ari. He tapped her on the shoulder and gestured to his brother's car. "Your patient is awake."

Ari spun quickly to see a man who could be Sideswipe but with subtle differences. The man had bright blonde hair that was pulled into a bun on the top of his head while the sides were shaved almost down to the scalp. His electric blue eyes were a slight shade darker than his twins and the lips tugging down in a frown as his arms were crossed tightly on his chest. There was no mistaking the fact that these two were twins. There were subtle differences but overall the two looked almost exactly alike.

"Good afternoon, Sunstreaker." She smiled at the grouchy looking man.

He merely inclined his head and said a curt. "Squishy." It seemed to her that he was much like James in the fact that he was curt. Still the woman wasn't put off by the short answer.

"Are you feeling better?"

Sunstreaker just 'hn' before turning to look at his alt form. "What the frag?!" He cried out seeing the new color to his armor. Fury radiated from him causing him to shake in his place. He spun on the girl. "YOU!" His ire was directly on the woman as he moved forward to grab her. Prime's directives to the pit. No one messed with his paint!

"Sunny. I did it." The words brought the mech short for a mere second before he turned to the holoform of his twin.

"You?" His words were quiet but they echoed in the small garage.

"Okay we both did it but it was the only paint she had that was close to the color. We thought you would like a full coat of paint instead of none."

"None?!" He glared at the woman. She didn't back up as he came to her but her features no longer had the smile gracing her face.

"You were heavily damaged and the paint was already mostly scraped off." She said, tone cold. Her back was tense and her fists hung loosely at her side balled into fists "I put a lot of work into fixing you up, so I would appreciate it if you didn't yell in my face."

Sunstreaker looked at the woman who's silver eyes were narrowed as she gazed up to the taller male. He was used to being feared, used to being someone people avoided but not many would stand up to him like this. She really must be a fearless or stupid organic.

The two stood facing each other neither looking away or backing down. Sideswipe wasn't sure if he was going to have to catch his twin's holoform from trying to intimidate the girl even more, not that it was working to begin with. Honestly, Sides was surprised that Sunny hadn't transformed out of his alt. Mode the second he noticed the color change. It was a testament to how calm he was trying to be. The red twin knew that Sunny was only this way because Arianna had saved their life but he was quite proud of his twin for the minimal outburst.

Sunstreaker looked away from the organic in front of him and them back at the metallic golden car. Now that he was actually looking at it, it wasn't the worst thing he had ever seen. It was done well and left no uneven lines or smudges, the paint was shiny and it looked pretty good. Obviously, he could have done it better but he wasn't going to deny that it was applied competently. He looked back to the black ...haired woman and nodded at her. Whatever she perceived it as made her relax.

Sides looked over at Arianna and smiled knowing his brother had calmed down and accepted that she wasn't awful. Honestly that was all he could really ask from his brother. "Hey, Princess." The name had seemed to stick in Sides' mind and he had been calling her that since they met. "I know I said that we would leave when Sunny woke up…"

"Don't call me that." Sunstreaker growled at him, but was promptly ignored.

"But you kinda fixed him faster than I was expecting you to. You might give Ratchet a run for his energon." The mech chuckled. "We would greatly appreciate it if you let us stay here for a while longer."

"That's fine." Arianna gave a soft smile to Sideswipe. "After all, I can't very well send you guys out injured."

Sunstreaker sighed, slightly aggravated that they were having to rely on this organic to provide them with anything. He let his holoform fizzle out.

"What the actual fuck." A voice coming from the entrance of the garage was heard. Arianna's blood ran cold as she looked over to see Starr standing there hands loosely up to her face and eyes wide.

"Well shit."
