Here is Chapter 2. I hope you like it. Please keep the feedback coming:
Sam was curled in the back seat of the Camaro sound asleep. They were headed back to Chicago going a lot faster then they should have been.
Bee did not care. He just wanted to get Sam back and checked up by Ratchet. Even though Bee had scanned Sam and given him a clean bill of health Bee was deeply concerned. In the last few weeks Sam was getting worse. This was different then Sam had been a few years back in Egypt when he would flash and write ancient Cybertronian.
Bumblebee slowed down to the speed limit as he passed through a small town. His scanners indicating a patrol cop was watching. Bee was built for speed and it took all of his patience to wait until he was out of the town limits before flooring it.
Bee opened a private comm link to Ratchet. "What is it Bumblebee?" Ratchet sounded impatient.
Bumblebee replied "We have a problem with Sam..." Bee finished explaining how Sam had collapsed and sent his resulting scans on the boy to Ratchet.
Silence.
"Ratchet?" Bee waited.
"Thank you Bee for letting me know. When the boy gets back here I expect him to be here in a nano click." Ratchet's words were laced with concern.
Bee was hoping that his communication with Ratchet would relieve some of his worry. It only increased it. Bee's gas pedal pressed closer to the floor.
Ratchet had been welding some strut pieces together when Bee had called him about Sam's condition. As soon as Bee had sent him the results of the scans on Sam, Ratchet ran them through his data analyzer. He also started to prep his work space to examine the boy.
Ratchet went to work reluctantly. He was a busy bot. He was already doing the work of three medics but now he was expected to play doctor for humans as well. Ridicules he thought. It wasn't that Ratchet disliked studying human medicine. In fact, he found the organics intriguing. It baffled his logic chip at how
Humanity created a thriving civilization when their bodies were so fragile and life span so short. If his own species had not been on the endangered list he would have gladly took up to practicing human medicine.
The truth was even with the knowledge he gained over the web he did not know where to begin with helping Sam. Having any Cybertronian technology in a human was
crazy enough, but the Allspark was unprecedented. He had spoken to Optimus about this before but his leader just raised his hand and told Ratchet that if "anyone could figure it out. It would be you, old friend." Ratchet shook his head and sighed as he finished preparing the examination table. Ratchet had already sent a transmission to Optimus about the boy. His leader was out with Ironhide and RC assisting the humans with the repairs that were more dangerous to the organics. He responded back to Ratchet that he would be back by the time Sam arrived.
"Rise and Shine!" Came crackling out of the car speakers. Sam opened his eyes and quickly closed them as a blast of sunlight came streaming though Bee's windows.
"Five more minutes Bee!" He groaned. God was he stiff. Being curled up in Bee's back seat all night was not fun.
A voice much softer and closer this time whispered directly into his ear. Warm air flowed over Sam's face. "What would you like for breakfast?"
Sam opened his eyes to find Bee's holo inches from his face. A warmth spread though his gut and he could feel his member getting hard. He instinctively pushed Bee away. "Geesh. Bee you freaked me out. I'm not used to you being in your holo form. Could you give me a little space until I get used to it?"
Bee sat back on his heels. He was kneeling on the floor looking over Sam. He looked pained. Sam felt his chest tighten. Seeing Bee like this was like a bitch slap.
"I did not mean it that way. Your holo is freaking awesome. I just need some time to get used to it ya know?" Sam also needed space because Bee was turning him on. At that moment Sam wished he had a cold shower he could hop into. He needed more time to think about these new feelings that were surging through him for hi guardian.
Bumblebee was able to smell the pheromones coming off of Sam. Bee's expression softened teasingly. Realizing Sam was uncomfortable he changed subjects. "What would you recommend I try for my first human breakfast?" Bee inquired.
"Pancakes sound go-" Sam stopped mid sentence and stared at Bee. "Seriously? You can eat organic food?" Bee just laughed and replied "You have no idea."
It turned out that Bee could eat food amongst other things in his holo. Tasting the food was another matter. He could smell the bacon and eggs that were piled up in front of him just like he could in his robot form. He could not taste it though as the Autobots had nothing similar to the human equivalent of taste. Bee explained while gulping down a glass of orange juice at a restaurant on the outskirts of town. He told Sam how Ratchet was able to tweak the design of the holograms so that the Autobots were able to feel what it was like to be human. Sam's eyes started to wander down Bee's chest while he continued to talk. What did Bee look like naked? Sam thought to himself. He found himself wanting to lean over the table and rip Bee's cloths off and find out.
"You still with me Sam"? Bee laughed. Sam's unfocused eyes, increased pheromones and heart rate were extremely obvious to the Autobot. The second Sam saw that Bee was staring at him his eyes darted down to the uneaten muffin on his plate. Sam felt his heart pounding in his chest. He knew Bee could sense even the most minuscule change in his anatomy. Part of Sam wanted to smack himself in the head. How could he be falling for a guy? Not to mention he was an alien robot! He was still in love with Carley…right? When he looked back up at his friends beaming face he wasn't sure anymore. At that moment he did know that he loved Bee and god was he hot!
With stomachs full they headed back to base. Bumblebee warned him about the upcoming examination. Sam just rolled his eyes. He just loved being Ratchet's lab rat.
Bee had transformed into his Autobot form and followed Sam into the medical bay once they arrived. There were strange metallic pieces scattered all over the place. They looked like they were in one stage or another of being repaired. "Been busy Ratchet?" Sam asked.
"Ha ha funny Sam. I am always busy!" Replied Ratchet. He walked over to the boy and knelt on his knees so his optics would be at eye level to Sam. The optics dimmed. In Autobot body language he was showing concern "Are you ok?"
Sam shrugged his shoulders. "As ok as I am going to be with Allspark in my head."
Ratchet chucked. That was a rarity. Ratchet extended his hand and Sam climbed up onto it. Ratchet lifted him onto a table that was normally used for the Autobots.
Sam sat while Ratchet started scanning him. His vitals were displayed on a monitor to his right and were projected onto a graph. Sam was trying to make sense of it when a warm firm hand pressed against his shoulder. Sam yelped and turned around to see an older looking human male. Deep brown eyes were looking at him. He was wearing a white lab coat and was holding out a cup.
It took Sam's brain a moment to process what he was seeing. "Ratchet is that you?" The man nodded. "Oh my god. Do you guys all have solid holos now?" Sam said exasperatedly. He also saw the cup, "Seriously? I have to do that? I thought you guys were super advanced and could get all your readings with your scanners!" Sam protested as the cup was forced into his hand.
Ratchet looked sternly at Sam. "The urine sample is not for us Sam, however your government wants to keep track of the health of its alien ambassador and they would like to have a more physical sample." At that exact moment the large red and blue frame of Optimus Prime, the great leader of the Autobots walked in on Sam.
Sam turned about ten shades of scarlet. The Autobots were staring at him waiting. Bumblebee stood on his toes and had angled himself to get a better look. Curiosity definitely etched into the Autobots face. Did they expect him to do his business here in front of him? Sam's mind was racing. Heart was pounding. This was a thousand times more embarrassing then when his mother used the words "Sam's Happy Time in front of Mikaela!"
"Sam are you alright?" Bee chirped. The amusement in his face blatantly obvious.
Sam swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat. "Yeh just need a little privacy please."
Ratchet snorted, "Ah humans, you and your privacy. It's just a simple biological function." However Ratchet was understanding as he helped Sam to the ground so that he could find a bathroom.
"Be back." Sam said. He nodded his head at Optimus in a hello. A small smile appeared on Optimus's face. Sam blushed harder and almost ran out of the medical bay.
A few minutes later he came back in to find the Autobots talking amongst themselves. The center of their conversation revolving around the piece of debris that he and Bee had brought back. They turned their heads at the approaching human. Ratchet spoke up first "Sam, I was not able to find any thing wrong with you. Your vitals are the same as the last time I scanned you a few days ago. I cannot explain why you were shocked. This device" Ratchet was pointing to the Spark Regulator in Bee's hands " does not carry any energy that it would have shocked you. However it can manipulate energy and can regulate a power source like a spark. I believe tried to do the same to you."
Sam cocked his head to the side in confusion.
Ratchet sighed, "Amongst other things I can use this on a bot in surgery. It allows me to control the energy rate of a Cyertronian spark. If you were to compare it to something in human terms it would be similar to a blood thinner."
Ratchet ordered Bee to place the device in front of Sam. As the device was being lowered to him Sam stepped back not wanting to repeat what happened yesterday.
This time Optimus spoke up in his low voice "It's ok Samuel. In order to help you we need to replicate the incident."
Optimus's voice calmed Sam down a little bit as Ratchet continued "I believe you are emitting an energy and this device was trying to regulate it. We need you to touch the device again."
Sam lowered his head as he asked "Will I pass out again?"
Ratchets voice grew softer in an attempt to reassure the human, "I can lower its influence so it will not shock you. You will be safe."
Knowing he would regret this Sam ordered. "Let get this over with." After a few minutes of preparations they were ready. Scans and analyzers were good to go.
"When you're ready." Ratchet said.
Sam hesitantly reached out a hand for the device. Instantly an arch of bright blue energy shot from Sam's hand and connected with the device.
Sam yelped in surprise. He felt a warming sensation in his arm that started flowing though the rest of his body. It was almost a pleasant sensation. He looked up to see Ratchet focusing with his eyes scanning him.
"I am going to increase the flow rate. You ready?" Sam nodded and when he turned back around to look at the device he momentarily pointed his hand towards a counter full of medical equipment. The arch of energy swung from his hand and had rapidly spread out amongst the electronics that were on the counter. The energy hit a phone, a computer and few other devices that Sam did not know what they were used for.
Within seconds they all transformed into little sentient bots scrambling off the counter.
The scene that followed was almost comic in nature. The phone transformed into a little beast that started chewing on the computer monitor. Another tiny bot scrambled to the floor and was chasing the electrical cord of a lap top that was coming straight for Sam.
Over the rocus Sam could hear Bee's weapons come online and within seconds the
little bots were scrap.
Talk about déjà vu. Except this time there was no all spark shard.
Sam craned his neck upwards to look into the wide-eyed optics of Ratchet, Bumblebee and Optimus. All three with their mouths open staring down at Sam in an awkward silence.
A feeling of dread spread through Sam's chest, "Did I do that?"
"I believe you did." Ratchet replied.
"Shit." Sam said.
To be continue…(next chapter you will see some sparks fly with Sam/Bee)
