Chapter 24

"Does it ever stop?" Optimus groaned. Sparter had been pounding on the door to his office for twelve hours straight. The man wasn't that young, his grandson was going to be a father soon for primus sake. He should have had to rest hours ago, or keel over from a heart attack. Optimus was really starting to hope for the latter of the two. It would bring silence to his office and save him from having to explain to Koji that Sparter was his grandfather.

"PRIME! Open this damn door now!" Sparter yelled through the door.

"Does he honestly think that's going to work after twelve hours?" Optimus asked despite being alone in his office.

"Optimus if you don't open this door and shut this freak up you'll be sleeping in your office for the next twenty years!" Elita yelled through the door. Optimus quickly opened the door.

"You sure you're ready for this?" T-Ai asked from the bed as she watched Koji get dressed.

"Yes. If I wait too long Optimus will order me there and we all know that that won't end good," Koji sighed. The phrase 'nurse you back to health so I can kill you' came to mind when he thought of his upcoming talk with the Autobot leader.

"He's had a day or so to think about it. Plus I was the one that kept it secret, you didn't even know," T-Ai tried to reassure him.

"You may have been the one that kept it secret but I was raised human. I'm suppose to know about what can result from," Koji blushed, "well...that."

T-Ai giggled at Koji's face. He was still so innocent despite everything he'd gone through. "Well it was never actually explained to you," she tried to make him feel better. Koji just blushed harder.

"He's my grandson goddamnit. I have a say in this!"

"Really? Last time I checked he didn't even know you existed!"

"Huh?" Koji walked into Optimus' office catching the end of the yelling match.

Optimus looked startled to see him. He had thought Koji was going to put coming till it couldn't be avoided anymore. Hopefully Sparter would shut up and leave before any questions were asked. No such luck.

"Hi," Koji said hesitantly, looking at Sparter. Really looking this time, not just seeing. He noticed Sparter looked familiar.

"Koji? I assume you have a reason to be here so soon," Optimus said. 'Real smooth Prime. He won't suspect a thing now' Optimus silently berated himself. He'd sounded down right rude. Koji would be suspicious now.

"Yeah. Axel mentioned something about a tracking device," Koji smiled deviously.

Meanwhile Sparter tried to keep the look of shock off his face. He'd faced that smile a lot in his younger years. Usually when his daughter was about to say something to get out of punishment.

"Yeah. Will discuss that later," Optimus snapped. Koji raised an eyebrow at Optimus' strange behavior showing only indifference on the outside. Inside he felt a pang of sadness.

Sparter glared at Optimus. He may not have been there when Koji was growing up but he had raised Koji's mother. He recognized her mannerisms in his grandson. That indifferent look was what she usually put on when she was hurt, right before she ran off to be alone.

"Koji, have you been to the infirmary yet?" Optimus asked trying to sound less harsh.

"T-Ai was at the house when I got there. She fixed up my back and gave me some Advil," Koji explained. "Yes I know," he answered the unspoken question.

"And what do you plan to do about it?" Optimus asked.

"No idea. Who this?"

'Damnit. He had to ask that question' Optimus thought angrily.

"I'm General Sparter of the US Military," Sparter said automatically.

"Oh," Koji recognized that name. "You worked with my mom, right?"

"You could say that," Sparter said, not sure that he wanted to tell Koji now. Prime had looked ready to kill him when he found out and Prime wasn't the one who'd been cut off from most of his family for seventeen years.

"Dad, are you still bothering Optimus?" Xandra asked walking into the office. "Hi Koji," she smiled at her nephew. He stared back in confusion.

"You two haven't told him yet?" Xandra glared at the two.

"Tell me what?" Koji asked.

"I'm your aunt Xandra and that's your grandfather."
