~~~a few days later

"Come here mechling," the judge said.

Photon nervously went up to femme sitting down in a high platform. He glanced once at his creators before looking away. His optics shifted to Optimus, Megatron, and Knock Out, who stood on the other side. The seekerlet went up to the judge and stared at her.

"What happened while you were with your creators?" asked the judge.

"Well Miss Jelleke, I was..."

Photon told the story with a slightly trembling voice. He could feel his creators gaze burning into his spark from behind him. Jelleke listened closely, not sensing one bit of falseness.

"Thank you Photon," said Jelleke.

Photon smiled and went back to Optimus' side, standing between the two mates.

"Knock Out, what was the condition of Photon when he was brought into you?" the femme asked.

"Well you see Prime came to me after stopping a few younglings from killing him. I found more than just what was inflicted on him that day. I found signs of neglect and abuse. He was beaten in various ways and his processor was traumatized by whatever was seen and done. I have brought his medical report with me to for evidence that he was indeed abused," said Knock Out, handing the report over.

"I needn't see anymore. Optimus Prime, Megatron, are you both willing to adopt Photon and care for him in all ways?" asked Jelleke.

"Indeed we are," said Megatron, placing a large servo on Photon's shoulder.

"Then he is now yours. Take well care of him," said Jelleke, smiling at the couple.

"Thank you Jelleke. He will have a good life," said Optimus.

Photon cheered and jumped onto Megatron, hugging closely. Optimus hugged the seekerlet also, glad that he was now his son. Photon laughed and had a large smile on his face. His creators growled from their spot. The silver, black, and light blue-green seekerlet snuggled into Megatron's chest, purring with happiness.

"I'll go pick up the little ones. See you at home love," said Optimus.

"Alright. Don't be too long," said Megatron.

"I won't," said Optimus.

Optimus pulled up to Kup's house and transformed. Swoop was playing with Skylar while the other two triplets helped Kup in his garden up front. Hot Rod and Alnilam were being fed by Sludge and Slag. Grimlock however was busy kissing a black femme who had golden specks all over her frame. Snarl managed to snap a few photos of the two.

"Greetings Kup. How were they today?" asked Optimus, walking up to the blue-green bot.

Kup smiled and stood up.

"They were great helpers. Grimlock not so much though," said Kup.

"I see. Who is the femme with him?" asked Optimus.

"That's Nightstar. She's a teacher over at the school near the Hall. Grimlock met her while picking up the triplets the one time. Now they can't keep their servos off each other," the old mech explained.

"I'm surprised actually. Grimlock isn't one for showing love and affection much," said Optimus.

"So how did the trail go?"

"We won. Photon is now our son."

"I'll have to come over one of these days to visit him."

"Indeed old friend. He is remarkable. I have him signed up for school. He starts in a few days," Optimus said proudly.

"I'm sure he will do great. You and Megatron must be proud of him so far. I'll swing by in a few days. I've got gardening and things to do," said Kup.

"We shall see you then. Come along little ones. It's time to head back," said Optimus.

"But wrother, we were having fun," Skylar whined.

"I know but I have to get back home. And if you behave well enough we will go see sire," said Optimus.

"Ota wrother. We'll come home," said Ironfrost. "Bye-bye."

"See ya later kid," said Kup.

Optimus gathered his sons into his arms and his siblings got into him when he transformed. Optimus headed home after stopping real quick to pick up some treats. His siblings questioned him, but the Prime didn't say anything. The triplets ran inside and easily found Megatron sitting at the table with a cube of energon in front of him. Megatron smiled and gathered them in his arms.

"Hi Mewgatron," said Skylar. "Did you miss us?"

"Yes I did," said Megatron. Optimus came up and kissed his mate. "Welcome home love."

"Where is he?" asked Optimus.

"He's taking a shower," answered Megatron. "He seems really excited to be joining us."

"That's good. I'm going to take the triplets to visit sire. Can you watch the twins? I want him to meet his grandsire," said Optimus.

"I can do that love. It's time to feed them and get them to berth," said Megatron, taking his sons into his arms, tickling them.

"Sire, is carrier home?" asked Photon, coming out of the washracks.

"I'm home Photon," said Optimus. "Come, I wish for you to meet a few bots today."

Photon came out, all shiny and clean. His optics shined brightly. The triplets greeted him with hugs. Optimus lead the younger ones out the door and transformed for them to get in. They arrived at the hospital a few minutes later. Knock Out greeted them on his way out the door, Highturn in his arms and Breakdown behind him.

"I'll see you later Prime. It's time for Highturn to get to sleep. He's got school in the morning," said Knock Out.

"Alright. We're going to visit sire real quick before getting these ones to berth," said Optimus.

"So I take it you won?" asked Breakdown.

"Indeed we did. Photon is now my son," said Optimus. "That energon is really helping him. I must thank you again for that Knock Out."

"It's my duty. Now go visit 'Hide. He's getting better. His chances of waking up are increasing as the days pass," said Knock Out.

Optimus smiled at the news and lead the younglings to his sire's room. Ironhide indeed looked better. His brainwave activity increased slightly, enough to notice. Optimus put his siblings up and they started talking to their sire. Photon looked unsure of what to do. He never seen an ill or injured bot before. Optimus understood and knelt down next to his son.

"Carrier, who's that?" asked Photon.

"That is my sire, your grandsire. He was attacked by a bot and was put into a deep stasis. But with us visiting him, he can wake up soon," said Optimus. "He'll love to meet you. Even if he isn't awake, he can still hear you."

"Alright," said Photon, climbing up on the berth. He looked at Ironhide before scooting a bit closer. "Hi grandsire. I'm your new grandchild. My name is Photon. Optimus and Megatron fought to adopt me when Optimus found me on the streets. I would really like to know you better."

Ironhide shifted a bit, as if trying to wake up. Optimus' intakes hitched, hoping that his sire would wake up. Photon took it as a good sign and continued to talk.

"Skylar, Ironfrost, and Trailblazer are really awesome. I like to play with them when carrier or sire brings them home from school. I'll be starting school soon too. I'm honestly a bit nervous, but I want to go. I've never really been in a school. I learned from being on the streets while I looked for energon or a place to stay. I got my own room too. It's nice to be loved and feel safe," said Photon. "I hope that you wake up. Carrier says you are awesome. Sire is also hoping to see you awake. I know I only met you a few minutes ago, but you seem like you will give me love also."

Ironhide groaned and moved again. He struggled to open his optics. Photon smiled and backed away. Optimus moved to his sire's side, bring up a chair to sit in. He gripped his sire's servo and gave it a light squeeze.

"Come on sire, you can do it. I know it is difficult, but you need to wake up. Carrier will be happy to know that you are awake. Keep fighting and come back to us," said Optimus. Ironhide groaned again and tried to unshutter is optics. "That's it. You're almost there. Just a bit more sire. Please for all of us."

Ironhide's optics opened and dimly stared up at his son's face. Optimus smiled and a few tears escaped. Ironhide also smiled behind the air mask and gripped his son's servo with his weak one.

"Orion," Ironhide croaked out.

"I'm here sire. And so are your youngests," said Optimus.

Ironhide looked down at his side, seeing four younglings sitting there. Big smiles grew on each of their faces. Optimus got up to go get First Aid. He had to know that his sire was awake. Skylar was the first to latch onto her sire's chest, hugging him tightly. The other two joined her and two black arms wrapped around them, hugging them close. Photon smiled, but didn't know what to do. He just sat their and waited for his carrier to come back. Ironhide saw and motioned for him to join them.

"Hello Photon," said Ironhide.

"You... you heard me?" asked Photon.

"Of course I did. I heard everything since being in deep stasis," said Ironhide, taking off the air mask to better talk. "I also need to talk to your carrier. He's in trouble."

"Yes he is. He yelled at wrother," said Ironfrost.

"I'll speak to him when he arrives," said Ironhide. "And I'll make sure he never does that again."

"Good," said Trailblazer. "Family has been a mess."

Optimus walked back in with First Aid, who had a patch on his shoulder. He checked out Ironhide and found him completely healthy. He gave the black mech a cube of mid-grade energon to drink. Ironhide took it with a nod and drank it slowly.

"It's good to have you awake sire," said Optimus.

"Same here Orion. Thanks for that last bit of motivation that I needed," said Ironhide. "Tomorrow Imma gonna give your carrier a good talking to. Whatever he said to you was not right."

~~~next day

Optimus waited patiently for his siblings to get out of school. They had a bit longer before they got out. Soon enough younglings filed out and Optimus greeted his siblings. He had Photon with him. They wanted to go visit Ironhide again.

"I must stop by Kup's home first," said Optimus.

When they got to the older mech's home, they were greeted warmly. Kup was gardening again and was glad to hear that Ironhide was awake. Photon met Kup and was glad to meet him. After a bit, Optimus told the dinobots that Ironhide would be returning home soon. They were excited, or at least the four paying attention. Grimlock kept stroking and kissing Nightstar, who returned the gestures.

Ironhide was glad for his family to visit him again. He got to know Photon better. Ratchet still hadn't came to visit them, but Ironhide knew that he was still working. Knock Out and Breakdown were surprised to see him awake already. But that wasn't really the point. Photon was a gifted seekerlet and was able to help get him awake.
