Chapter Summary: Ome meets Ultra Magnus for the first time.
This Oneshot is set nearly a month after Extended Family.
"Hello" Normal talk.
"Hello" Talking through the bond.
"Hello" Com-link/Private Com-link.
"Hello" Thoughts.
Omega made his way to the Elite Guard HQ to visit his siblings, it had been nearly a month since the other Guardians, alongwith Ratchet and Optimus, had met his six year old daughter and he felt more at ease than he had done when he was keeping her a secret, it definitely took quite a bit of stress off of him since it had been difficult at times to keep his daughter a secret. He came out of his thoughts when he heard the sound of another Cybertronian ship approaching and paused in his walk, he looked up and smiled when he saw that it was Zeta who was landing nearby "Hello Zeta" he greeted his younger brother.
"Hey Omega" Zeta returned the greeting after he had transformed "thought I'd tag along with you, could have landed closer to HQ but didn't want to"
"It's alright, I don't mind" Omega replied and smiled.
"You got the little one with you?" Zeta asked as the two Guardians continued their walk.
"I do yes, she is in my Spark Chamber" Omega replied.
Zeta grinned a little "Good, because we would have had problems had you not" he teased.
Omega chuckled "Is that so?" he asked in a tease before he laughed a little when he received a nudge from his younger brother.
"Fragger" Zeta said, but it was clearly said out of fondness.
Five minutes later Omega and Zeta arrived at the Elite Guard HQ, they made their way to the recreation building "Time to make our entrance" he joked as he walked towards the open door.
Omega chuckled as he followed his younger brother.
"Room for three more?" Zeta announced as he strode in, the only reason he said 'three' was because he knew Ome was in Omega's Spark Chamber, but then he suddenly said "oh frag"
Ultra Magnus was on the catwalk, it was something that had been made so he could talk to the Guardians better, but he wasn't in his usual formal stance with the Magnus Hammer in his hand. Instead he was sat in a chair, his Magnus Hammer was propped up against a nearby wall and he had a half finished cube of energon in his servos, he had wanted to have a break from his duties and having a more casual conversation with the Guardians helped him to forget about his duties for a few hours "Omega, Zeta, hello" he greeted.
Zeta seemed at a loss for words since he had never seen Ultra Magnus so…informal.
Omega on the other hand had seen it before, since he used to be part of the Elite Guard, in fact he was there when Ultra Magnus had first been instated as the new leader of the Elite Guard, taking over from the previous leader "Hello 'Magnus" he replied "it's been a while"
"It has, it's good to see the two of you" Ultra Magnus replied.
Sigma snickered "You've made Zeta speechless, that's a miracle" he said.
Ultra Magnus chuckled "I see" he replied.
"I'll handle it" Gamma said and got up, he then lightly swatted his younger brother's helm.
Zeta gave a yelp of surprise and rubbed his helm "The frag was that for you glitch?" he asked.
"And he's back with us" Gamma teased, earning a good-natured thump to the arm for his troubles, he laughed as he rubbed his arm and sat down on the couch again.
Ultra Magnus chuckled and shook his helm in amusement.
"So what brings you here 'Magnus? I don't think I've seen you so…relaxed" Zeta said.
"I do come here occasionally when I need a break from my duties" Ultra Magnus replied.
"He's always done it since he became leader" Alpha added and looked to his older brother "remember Omega?"
Omega nodded and smiled "I do yes" he replied.
"So who's keeping an optic on things whilst you're with us?" Zeta asked.
"I usually appoint Jazz to keep an optic on things" Ultra Magnus replied.
"At least it's not Sentinel" Gamma replied.
"Ugh, don't mention that glitch-head, it'll ruin my good mood" Zeta grumbled as he rested his hands on the back of the couch behind Gamma.
Gamma laughed a little as he reached up to pat his younger brother's arm behind him.
Sentinel Prime was part of the Elite Guard, but none of the Guardians liked him because of his ego and his 'know it all' personality, he would always try to flaunt his authority but the Guardians didn't really listen to him since he wasn't the leader of the Elite Guard.
Zeta especially didn't like Sentinel after the time he had the nerve to try and ban Omega and Zeta from visiting, just because of the fact they weren't part of the Elite Guard, but that went as far as one would expect, especially after Omega said his piece on it, he could be pretty intimidating when irate "I still haven't forgiven him after he tried to ban Omega and I from coming here" he said.
Gamma snickered and tilted his head back to look up at his younger brother "His face though when Omega told him where to shove it" he replied.
Zeta laughed "He looked ready to blow a gasket" he replied.
Omega chuckled and crossed his arms over his chest casually from where he had moved to stand behind the couch behind Alpha "He never attempted it again" he said.
Ultra Magnus chuckled "I wouldn't have allowed it anyway" he replied.
"That's why you're the leader 'Magnus" Delta replied and smiled.
"So Omega, did you bring your daughter or what?" Iota asked with a smile.
Ultra Magnus raised an optic ridge, he knew of Ome since he had been there when the little one was born, but he had no idea that the other Guardians knew of her as well "You all know of Ome?" he asked.
"Yeah, Omega introduced her to us a month ago" Sigma replied with a smile "she's pretty much family to us now"
Ultra Magnus nodded, he did remember saying to Omega that he did have discretion on whether anyone found out about Ome when she was older, so he couldn't hold that against him "I see, well that is wonderful" he replied and looked to Omega "how is the little one?"
"She's doing well" Omega said "I actually have her with me if you want to see her, besides she hasn't met you yet"
"I would love to" Ultra Magnus replied and smiled.
Omega smiled before he turned away, normally he would be happy to open his chestplates in front of his family, but not in front of Ultra Magnus. He opened his chestplates and Spark Chamber, holding a hand up to his open chest so his daughter could crawl out.
Ome tweeted and crawled onto her Sire's waiting hand.
Omega closed his Spark Chamber and chestplates before turning to face the others again, he walked round from behind the couch and walked over to the catwalk "Here she is" he said.
Ultra Magnus sat up and looked at the Sparkling in Omega's hand, he couldn't help but smile at how much she had grown and how happy and healthy she looked.
Ome blinked as she looked at the new mech before shuffling closer to her Sire's chest, clearly shy.
"She's shy" Omega said softly and gently rubbed his daughter's helm with a finger "Ome this is Ultra Magnus, most of your family work with him"
"Hello little one, I see you have grown well" Ultra Magnus said to Ome and smiled.
Ome looked both wary and puzzled.
"Ultra Magnus saw you the day you were born" Omega said softly, he wouldn't go into the major details until she was older "so he knows all about you"
Ome looked to Ultra Magnus again before giving a shy wave "Hi" she greeted in a small shy voice.
"Aw she's always so cute when shy" Kappa said and giggled.
Omega chuckled "I know" he replied.
"May I...have a closer look?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"Ome will you let 'Magnus hold you for a few minutes?" Omega asked his daughter softly.
Ome looked a little unsure, but in the end she nodded.
Omega smiled and held his hand, that had his daughter on it, out to Ultra Magnus.
Ultra Magnus reached out and gently took the Sparkling from him, holding her in his own hand, she was so small but adorable.
Ome looked up at the mech and chirped a little in shyness.
Ultra Magnus chuckled "You do not need to be shy little one, your family know me very well" he said "in fact, your Sire used to work for me a long time ago"
Ome blinked "Really?" she asked and looked up at her Sire.
Omega smiled and nodded "I did yes, when I was a younger mech" he replied.
"Ooh, then how come you work with Optimus now?" Ome asked "did you not like Ultra Magnus?"
Ultra Magnus couldn't help but laugh "No little one, your Sire got along with me very well" he replied "his circumstances changed and it worked out better for him to work with Optimus" at least that was the simplified version, the complex version was that when the Autobots had been established as a faction, and were found to have the purpose of fighting for peace and to protect innocent lives, Omega had decided to transfer to the Autobots so they had a Guardian in their faction.
"Ooh" Ome said and chirped "ok"
Ultra Magnus couldn't help a fond chuckle "I can see why she is adored" he said to the other Guardians.
"She's pretty much the safest Sparkling on Cybertron with us as her family" Zeta replied with a smile "we'll sla...beat anyone that tries to hurt her" he put his fist in his hand.
"Optimus said the same thing when he met Ome" Omega replied and smiled.
"What that he'll beat anyone who hurts her?" Zeta asked.
"No about her being the safest Sparkling on Cybertron with us as her family" Omega replied "honestly Zeta can you not think of anything else other than beating people's afts?"
Zeta smirked "I'm a Wrecker, it's what we do" he replied.
Ultra Magnus chuckled and shook his helm in amusement "Save it for the De..." he had to stop himself from saying 'Decepticons' in front of a six year old "for the bad people" he finished.
Zeta grinned a little "Of course" he replied.
Ome chirped and reached for her Sire.
Ultra Magnus reached forward and gently placed her on Omega's waiting hand.
Omega gently held his daughter to his chest and smiled.
Ultra Magnus sat back again, he had a content smile as he watched the other Guardians interact with Ome, after seeing so much death and destruction because of the war, seeing how happy the Guardians looked and seeing an innocent life made him, for a moment, forget all about it.
