After much arduous and exhausting work, the ship was finally repaired enough to make the trip to Cybertron. And after packing essential items, the kids, the Autobots, and Lancex blasted off for the great beyond, careful to disguise their trail so that other humans did not spot them. Soon enough, earth is a distant planet in the rear view mirror and they are deep in space.
Lancex stood near a viewing deck, in awe of all the things he saw, as this dimension was so different from his own, yet it was magical in its own way. As Lancex studied the passing stars and planets that they passed by, he was soon joined by Optimus and Jetfire, who had noticed that their crush was looking out the viewing window in utter amazement. "It's amazing" Lancex whispered, unaware he had company now.
"That it is" Optimus replied, stunning Lancex who hadn't planned on seeing the two out of the blue like that. Lancex just nodded as he continued to watch, not realizing that Jetfire had a burning question and he was going to ask it whether anyone liked it or not.
"Lancex, it has come up that you are a submissive bot who can also carry sparklings. We're you aware of this?" Jetfire asked point blank, unable to stop himself. If Optimus could, he would have rolled his optics as they didn't need this discussion right now.
Lancex shook his helm, and as much as he liked being around these two, he started becoming wary of them and their intentions. "No, that I did not know."
Optimus, feeling like it would add to what Jetfire had asked, pulled out the book Dirt Boss had given the Prime and showed it to Lancex. "Your uncle gave us this book" Optimus explained.
Lancex backed away from the two, not like where this was headed. "So, you two only wanted me because I'm submissive and can carry?" Lancex asked, upset by all of this.
"No, that is not true. My spark fell for you long before I even knew anything more about you. Long before I knew anything about you being able to carry or anything else. Once I learned that information, I sought out information to make sure that I had a better idea of what your needs would be. I did that because I felt my spark long for you. I understand if you don't trust me or us at the moment, but I want to let you know that everything we have done was because we wanted to show you that we loved you for you and understood what a bot like you would likely need from his mate or mates. Forgive us if we hurt you or crossed an unknown boundary" Optimus explained and Jetfire nodded in agreement.
Lancex wasn't sure what to think. They had done so many things, but this truth just caused the bot to question If what they had done was really for him or them. Optimus and Jetfire backed off a bit to give Lancex room. Seeing that they backed down made Lancex think harder. He wanted to be in their arms, to be theirs, and trust them, but he just wasn't sure anymore.
"We will give you some time" Optimus said, backing off and pulling Jetfire with him. Lancex was stunned to see them go. But he had to think – did he really want them or did they shatter any trust he had in them? He was so confused. He wished he had his uncle to talk to, but he was here alone. And so, he hoped that he was making the right decision, and soon followed the direction that Jetfire and Optimus had gone, hoping that he could show them how he really felt.
