WARNING: This chapter deals with the human body. The female body to be exact. If you are uncomfortable with medical terminology or talks of how women's bodies work then DO NOT READ!

"I'm very nervous."

Magnolia had risen early this morning to be escorted by Jazz to see Ratchet. While she was a usually early riser, the past events made her crave sleep.

That lasagna was good last night.

"You should be nervous."

"…."

"I-uh- Ratch isn't so bad once you get used to his rough personality."

Magnolia frowned before rolling her eyes. Her first interaction with the so-called medic was terrible, he was so rude.

"What is he planning on doing to me?"

"Not sure but he's trustworthy, I promise."

Upon reaching the Medical Bay, Jazz opened the door and motioned for his charge to enter. Instantly, the typical 'Hospital' aroma filled her nostrils. She didn't really notice this room before as she was too busy fainting and ish. Still, it seemed to look like every other doctor's office just more futuristic.

The walls were uncomfortably white (gave off an insane asylum feel) and the lights were a bit brighter than the rest of the base. A desk with several medical unknown sharp tools were neatly placed on a tray, along with cubes filled with some sort of beautiful blue liquid.

To the left were rows of elevated metal slabs (what did they call them? Berths?). On the right was a console with none other than the star of the lab, Ratchet. He was typing and gave no indication he had noticed their presence.

"Ratchet, we're here."

"Obviously."

Jazz sighed but walked further into the room with Magnolia timidly behind him. The two were now standing near one of the berths when Ratchet finally turned around to face them. He looked tired, frustrated, annoyed and curious all at the same time.

"What are you waiting for? Get her on the berth."

Jazz looked down at his charge and then back at Ratchet. "Well, thing is Doc…Magnolia doesn't really trust me enough to pick her-"

"Oh please."

In one solid movement, Ratchet stepped in front of the pair and quickly picked up Magnolia from the back of her shirt. A scream erupted from the woman making Jazz cringe in worry. His instincts were to quickly snatch her back, but this was Ratchet here. Mech would have him in pieces before anyone could blink.

"Doc…"

The medic plopped her on the berth where a nice, soft white blanket awaited her bottom. The woman seemed surprised at the material being there.

"If she is going to be here, she best learn to accept us handling her."

"That sounds wrong."

"You are here for medical attention Jazz?"

"No?"

"Then you may leave."

The SIC seemed shocked for a moment as he looked at Magnolia's mortified expression. It was practically begging him to not leave.

"But Doc-"

"No Jazz, you need to leave. Patient privacy, ever heard of it?"

"Yeah, but look at her! She doesn't feel comfortable."

"She will be fine."

Deep down, he knew she would be. Ratchet may have been the grumpiest mech on Team Prime but that was just hiding the true caring nature. Every bot here trusted Ratchet with their lives and no one would hesitate to place their life on the line for his. That's how much ratchet mattered to the team.

Turning to Magnolia, he sadly smiled. He felt like a mother leaving their child at daycare for the first time. Even though she clearly didn't trust him, he still felt such a strong desire to protect her from everything. It was weird.

"Ratchet is going to take great care of you. You couldn't be in safer servos darlin."

Hours Later...

"You're joking? That really happened?"

Magnolia laughed as Ratchet made a dramatic gesture with his servos to imitate an explosion. The two had been together for about an hour and they were having a great time. It was astounding how Ratchet's personality could do a complete 180. Went from intimidating to the one of the coolest mechs she's met.

He made her feel so comfortable while asking questions about her health. He even told her some crazy stories of his adventures here on earth.

"It did! A mine the Twins filled with 'fart' gas. Had the Decepticons running for the hills!"

The two shared another hearty laugh while Magnolia wiped the tears from her eyes.

"My god Ratchet, you guys sure have a life!"

"Indeed, we do. It's dangerous but I wouldn't trade it for anything."

Ratchet noticed Magnolia look down in sadness for a brief moment before snapping her head back up and putting on a smile.

"We got sidetracked haha so what were you saying about my choker?"

"Ah yes. The Allspark fragment. When you got it, you never noticed anything different?"

"Different?"

"Physically, mentally, emotionally?"

"No?"

Ratchet nodded before turning to his 'computer' and began rapidly typing. She had no clue what he was putting on there, but it was unnerving.

"Would you mind if I preformed some tests at another time?"

"What tests?"

"Simple physical exams."

"…. Sure?"

"Thank you."

Magnolia didn't know what she had agreed to, but Ratchet had proven himself to be kind and simply interested in her for medical reasons. He never asked her invasive questions and stated that if he ever did, it was simply for such matters.

Suddenly, the medic turned toward the woman with a very serious expression on his face. He stepped to the side and allowed Magnolia to see holographic female and male on the screen before her. There were arrows pointed to each gender with questions marks next to them.

"What is this?"

"The day you arrived; it was to my shame that I was unable to treat you. I felt useless and I cannot allow something like that to happen again. If you are hurt again who would treat you if the Nest medic were not here? Or a hospital is not within range?"

"I see your point."

"I need to know how the body functions. Both male and female. Unfortunately, I do not have a male subject at the moment, but I do have you."

"…And?"

"And I wanted to ask if you would be willing to allow me to examine you."

The woman's eyes widened as she realized what Ratchet meant. He wanted to examine her body. Obviously, that would mean she'd have to strip so he could see everything.

"The medic from Nest offered me books and diagrams, along with links to the internet but I am a mech who is servos on."

"I'm not exactly comfortable with that."

"I would not do anything invasive to the point of discomfort."

"Ehhhh…"

"Magnolia we have been through this. I am a doctor and I find humans repulsive."

"Hey!"

"Which means I will not examine you other than for medical and scientific research."

While that sudden truth from Ratchet was slightly offensive, she couldn't deny that he was right. There was no way a literal robot would be perverted. None of these guys could (If only she knew).

"Very well, what do I do first?"

"Undress."

"Look into the light please."

Magnolia's eyes squinted as she attempted to stare at the light without blinking. Still feeling groggy, her eyes were a bit more sensitive. It was even more strenuous as she was fully nude in front of Ratchet. Luckily, he never looked at her body in any other way other than curiosity or genuine concern. It was like he was just excited about learning how the human body operates.

"I'm not seeing anything wrong with your vision."

Finally taking the light from her eyes, Ratchet tapped his chin before turning to his console to type a few notes.

"Before my old processor forgets, thank you for allowing me to examine you Miss Magnolia."

"No problem doctor! Glad to be of assistance. Though that blood sample you took earlier really hurt."

"I sincerely apologize. I am still getting used to how fragile your species is. If you bruise too badly do let me know."

"What was it you told me earlier? Best learn!"

"Very funny smart mouth. Could you lie back for me please?"

Doing as told, the woman laid back on the fluffy blanket. Sweet guy revealed he had Lex bring one in before she arrived so she wouldn't have to endure the cold surface of the berth.

"So, the breast on human female is for the purpose of feeding young."

"Correct for the most part."

"My scans are not picking up any liquids for breast feeding in yours."

Ratchet gently poked her breast in confusion, "Yet they are quite large and soft as if liquid were in them."

"Well women produce milk when they become pregnant, usually. I am not pregnant. As for why they are 'large' is simply because of fatty tissue and I exercise regularly so the muscles help with their lifting. Genes are also a factor."

"Ah I see."

Hazel eyes looked over at the console to see the human hologram had become an image of he rand next to each part were notes in a language she was not familiar with. Kind of weird to see herself like that but Ratchet assured her it would be for HIS optics only and no one else.

She trusted him. To an extent.

"The vagina ties in with breasts correct?"

"What?"

"You produce milk to feed young but I am reading that the vagina is where children are pushed out."

"You're not wrong."

"Though I have read it offers a number of purposes. Leaking lubricant of many kinds…such as blood?"

"A period. Varies women to woman but mine lasts 7 days and I eat a lot of funnel cakes."

"Funnel cakes?"

"We get cravings, mood swings, painful cramps, hot flashes, body aches and an urge to be left alone. Among other things."

"Side effects."

"Yep."

"May I have a look?"

"At my vagina?"

"Yes."

Oof. Well, she guessed it was not as bad as going to the gynecologist. This is exactly what it was.

Spreading her legs, Magnolia used her hands to spread her folds open so the Autobot medical officer could get a better look.

"Thank you. Two holes as said in the diagram. That is where the urine comes out, the urethral! The other is the vaginal opening."

"Yep."

"Disgusting but interesting. This document states a vaiety of things can go inside your vagina. Fingers, penises...toys? What?"

"Ignore that!"

"Human females are like storage units!"

"Oh. My. God."

Sorry if I traumatized ya there (You were warned) but I feel like talking about human bodies should be a normal thing. Anyway this chapter will come in handy later on.
