Ratchet's POV
June and I leave the medical bay. Skyla has been through so much already she needs all the rest she can get. We enter the main room. Arcee and the others arrive. They along with the children walk over to us.
"So, why did you need to come here, mom?" Jack asks.
"Optimus and Ratchet rescued a girl that was attacked by a Decepticon." June answers, "Ratchet needed my help to give her a medical exam,"
"Awesome another girl, I hope she likes Slash Monkey," Miko says. "I'll go to the medical bay and ask her,"
Miko dashes towards the medical bay. Bulkhead picks her up.
"Slow down Miko, if she is still in the med bay," Bulkhead says.
*She needs to rest,*Bumblebee says.
"Yes, Bumblebee. Skyla needs to rest, so she needs complete silence to recover,"
"What else did you find about her. Other than her name?" Acree asks.
"We found out that she is a victim of child abuse," June answers.
"So, her parents beat her?" Jack asks.
"Yes, for the past three years," June says.
"Three years, that is a long time to keep something as serious as that a secret," Jack says.
*Why didn't she tell someone?* Bee asks.
"It was so she could finish high school," June says. "Also, she was afraid that no one would believe her."
"So, Skyla, already graduated from high school?" Bulkhead asks.
"Yes," I answer. "In the box with Skyla's diploma, it also had a copy of her health records,"
"So, what did they say?" Rafael asks.
Then the alarm starts to blare, alerting us of Deception activity.
"Ratchet, where is the signal?" Optimus asks.
Tech's POV
I open my eyes and notice that I'm attached to medical equipment. I move my arm and see that my armor isn't sky blue anymore now it's light purple along with some small gold areas.
What did they do to me? I need to get out of here.
I start to get up and take all the wires connecting me the equipment. The next thing I know someone pushes me back down on the berth. I open my eyes as the pain subsides. I see Knockout's face.
'"You're not going anywhere Femee." Knockout says.
"What did you do to me?"
"Following Megatron's orders, he told me to give you a body more suited to be a proper member of the Decepticons," Knockout answers.
"I'd never fight for the Decepticons,"
"You won't have much choice in the matter, my dear," Knockout says, "In a few moments you won't even remember this conversation,"
I see another Decepticon come in hold the same prod that Knockout used on me earlier. A few seconds later everything goes black again.
Ratchet's POV
I quickly type on the keyboard to pinpoint the Decepticon signal, but the alarm shuts off. Then the energy signal disappears from the map.
"That's odd the signal just disappeared,"
"Why would the Cons pop up for a few seconds then just leave?" Jack asks.
"It's hard to say Jack, but I'll look into it,"
"What did Skya's health records say?" Rafael asks repeating his last question.
"It says that her last trip to the doctors was when she was 6,"
"Skyla said that she went to the doctor when she was thirteen," June says.
"She was running a fever of 104. She probably still thought she was dreaming or hallucinating,"
I need to tell the others about me adopting Sky Dancer. I kept it a secret from them ever since we became a team.
"Ratchet, are you okay old friend?" Optimus asks placing his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm fine Optimus, I have something to tell all of you, and I'm not sure how you're going to react,"
"What is Doc-Bot?" Miko asks.
"Before the war broke out and I met all of you. I adopted a young femee named Sky Dancer,"
"Where is she now?" Acree asks.
"I think Skyla is Sky Dancer," I answer, "Before I had to put her into an escape pod, Alpha Trion messaged me and promised me that she be safe."
"So, Skyla is Cybertronian?" The others gasp.
