Steeljaw felt like he was going to be sick, "What can we do to cool her down?" He asked trying to stay calm.

"Need some cold coolant to put over her body and maybe even some ice to help cool her down," Arcee sees the painkillers in his servo, "Hand me those painkillers. What other kind of medication do you have Fixit?"

Steeljaw handed Arcee the painkillers as Ultra Magnus left to get the coolant, "Do you have any antibiotics of some kind Fixit? That would really help because it's most likely there's an infection somewhere," she says to the Mini-Con as she opens up the box of painkillers to give to Strongarm.

"Steeljaw there's a box with a red circle and a white plus on the ship, could you get it for me, please? Lieutenant go with him," Fixit instructed.

Steeljaw was hesitant as he looks at Strongarm until he was interrupted by Arcee, "We got her Steeljaw you need to go get that box for us so we can help her," Steeljaw nods before running out with Bumblebee right behind him.

"Why did this have to happen?" Steeljaw asked himself as he searched the ship for what Fixit needed.

"Don't worry Steeljaw she'll be alright, she's a trooper she'll make it. Arcee trained in the medical field under Ratchet one of the best medics on Cybertron," Bumblebee tries to assure him. Steeljaw didn't say a word, he just kept looking for the box that Fixit needed, "How are you holding up?"

"Like this is my fault, if I hadn't tried to get her to come outside she wouldn't be in the position she is now," Steeljaw replied quietly. He growls quietly to himself, thinking like this and blaming himself wasn't going to help Strongarm. He was going to have to be strong for both of them.

"Don't be so hard on yourself you didn't know moving her would have this effect."

"I suppose you're right and feeling sorry for myself isn't going to help anyone," he replied with determination. Glancing down he found the box that Fixit had described.

"There you go, be positive."

Picking up the box Steeljaw ran back to Strongarm's quarters with Bumblebee right behind him. When they get there they find Fixit trying to revive Strongarm after her spark had ceased, she was too overheated. Arcee was still putting coolant over her body trying to cool her down and helping Fixit revive her. Steeljaw felt like his own spark had ceased, dropping the box he just stood there. He didn't even move when someone ran past him.


Metalsound purred quietly as her helm rested on Thunderhoof's chest, listening to his spark's pulse. It was almost like listening to a lullaby. When suddenly Magnus comes running into the room, "Metalsound!"

She bolted up, "Jeez, you scared the heck out of me. What's wrong?" She felt something was wrong from the look on his face.

"Strongarm is overheating and her spark has ceased! We need your help to revive her!"

Without a word she ran out of the room, she hoped Steeljaw wasn't overreacting. When she made it to Strongarm's room she found the Wolf-Con just standing there, looking at his mate numbly, "What do you need me to do Fixit?"

"We need your electrical charge!" Arcee says to her.

Thunderhoof came into the room and slapped Steeljaw on the back of his helm. Feeling something hit him Steeljaw snapped out of his numb state, "What are you doing!?" He shouted as he saw what Metalsound was doing.

"Steeljaw calm down, she's giving off an electrical charge to revive Strongarm," Magnus says calming the mech down.

"How do you know that it won't kill her?" He countered.

Metalsound growled at the blue mech, she stopped her electricity backing up to let Fixit and Arcee get back to working on Strongarm, "Thanks for having some faith in me," she said bitterly as she sat next to Thunderhoof.

"Sorry, I'm just on edge."

"I know, but you have to stay strong, for yourself and for Strongarm. You're not alone Steeljaw," she said as she glanced over to Ultra Magnus. She could smell his fear and worry. She could smell everyone's fear for the cadet.

"I know I'm not," Steeljaw looks over at Magnus, "Can't be easy for Magnus to see his daughter like this, and it can't be easy for the others to see their friend in this state."

Metalsound bowed her helm and closed her optics. Come on Strongarm, we're all here for you. Steeljaw's right here so is your father. You can't give up.

After a couple of minutes of trying to revive her, her spark starts up again and she jolts awake. Steeljaw could feel his own spark pulsing again, "She's alive!" Everyone cheers.

Ultra Magnus felt more relieved than he ever thought he could feel, he wasn't sure if he could take the pain of losing his daughter like he had when he lost his sparkmate. Arcee continues trying to bring Strongarm's temperature down.

"What... happened?" Strongarm asked.

"Your body was overheating, we're still trying to bring your temperature down," Fixit replied.

"I overheated? Why do I feel like I've been electrocuted?"

"Your spark stopped pulsing, we asked Metalsound for her assistance," Arcee informed the cadet.

"I... almost died? Again?"

"Yes, but you did die," Metalsound replied bluntly before she yelped when Ultra Magnus stepped on her tail.

"All that matters now is that we have to get your body to cool down, and get some rest," Magnus said gently.

She nods, "Can Steeljaw sit next to me?"

"Of course," Fixit chirped as he motioned for the mech to come closer, "You're out of danger but we still reed, seed, need, to get your temperature down."

She nods as Steeljaw walks over and sits next to her.

"Did you have to step on my tail?" Metalsound whined to Magnus as she tried to soothe the pain in her tail.

"Did you have to tell her she died?"

"I would want to know if I died," she pouted.

"But we don't need to frighten her in her condition."

"Sorry, I need to think before I speak. I didn't mean to scare you Strongarm."

"No worries."

"I think we should leave and let Strongarm get some rest," Bumblebee mentioned as he left the room. Sighing Metalsound left followed closely by Thunderhoof.

"She's in no need of us anymore at the moment so we'll go as well and let her rest. You make sure she keeps cool Steeljaw, and call us if anything goes wrong," Arcee states. Steeljaw nodded as he watched them leave.

"This is strange," Strongarm suddenly spoke out.

"What is?" Steeljaw asked.

"Us being here like this, just to think just a couple of months ago we were enemies trying to take each other down, you wanted to kill me off and I wanted to lock you back up. Now we're lovers and sparkmates and you're trying to keep me alive."

"It is odd, but maybe this was meant to happen."

"Yeah, was probably destined for us to end up on the same planet and meet."

"I'm glad you're alright," he nuzzled her helm gently.

"I am too. I'm curious, did you ever think you would fall in love?"

"To be honest I didn't think so, but you changed my mind about the idea of falling in love."

"I'm glad I could change your mind on that," she says with a smile before leaning forward to kiss him. Steeljaw met her kiss, his tail draping around her waist.
