As Optimus and a very tired Lancex waited, Jetfire and Mirage made their way to the office. "Why did you think he called us? Do you he plans on rescinding that I can be an Autobot?" Mirage asked, a bit worried.

"I don't know, but Optimus usually wouldn't call two bots if he had a problem with just one of them" Jetfire answered. They soon reached the office door and knocked. Optimus instructed them to come in.

"You called, sir?" Mirage asked. Jetfire nodded.

"Yes, you see, Lancex is tired and needs a place to crash and recharge" Optimus explained.

"But he is no flyer bot, why with us?" Jetfire asked, trying to hide that he was blushing and his spark was going wild. Mirage was much like Jetfire, but neither Optimus nor Lancex noticed.

"You have room and your room is furthest from the places where the humans live" Optimus added.

"And that matters?" Mirage replied, before Jetfire responded.

"Well, kicker needs space to not get in a fight again with Lancex. And we do have space in the area we stay in" Jetfire stated.

Lancex was relieved that they were agreeable, but something bothered Lancex a bit. Then Lancex realized what it was. "I'm sorry about earlier" Lancex offered up to Mirage.

Mirage nodded. "It's all good. We best get going before Kicker comes back" Mirage replied. The three soon left and Optimus got back to work, completely unaware of just how this would turn out.

Meanwhile, the soon reached the area where Jetfire and Mirage rested, relaxed, and recharge. Lancex was so tired he could hardly walk straight. Jetfire and Mirage soon helped Lancex to a recharge berth. Lancex crashed onto it and was quickly out cold. Jetfire and Mirage were a bit stunned, but then they thought about this whole thing, this could work out in their favor. The pair each took a side of Lancex and the three were soon out cold. Lancex snuggled in, too tired to be aware of just what he was in the middle of.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Starscream returned to Alpha Q. Starscream had to make his report. Alpha Q and Scorponok heard the report. Scorponok would reveal this soon to Megatron, as Alpha Q had no qualms bots to get what Alpha Q really wanted. He had no idea that Megatron wasn't going to play ball the way Alpha Q wanted to.
