Not Rivet/Candice but a little something I wanted to share storywise and what it will be like once I get it started...probably in a year or two. Right after I get Cosmic Joke finished!
Read, review and enjoy! :D
Ratchet wasn't sure what to make of Rivet's story. It sounded believable in the sense of detail, but not in the sense of reality. At least not in the way he knew it. He had been around long enough to know there were certain things in the universe that would never make sense to him, things that mechs or any living being should even know about. Yet Rivet was there, perched on his operating table telling something that just wasn't...real. And yet he couldn't call it a lie either.
" I really should scan your CPU for any kind of damage. from what you're telling me, time passed by and you don't remember it doing so?"
" No! time went backwards!" said the tiny little mech in a buzz of noise.
" There is no such thing." he said, yet again. He wasn't sure if he was trying to convince Rivet or himself.
" Ah! not really. You know Skywarp's ability has a similar affect." explained his young assistant Wheeljack. He certainly wasn't helping in trying to make sense of the tiny mech's story.
.
" But that's simple to explain. Thundercracker is going forward into time. but even that doesn't last for more than a few nanoseconds. What rivet explained, was that he went backwards a few minutes into time. that's the impossibility."
Wheeljack disagreed. " Why would it be impossible? Time isn't set, we can measure it, but there are traits about it that we still don't understand. What I believe Rivet experienced, was a time jump."
" Time jump?" asked Rivet.
" It's when time around an object is thrust back into the past. You see, time itself can't be reversed. So, from what I can guess is that time around you warped and then you went back instead."

"...Are you sure?" chirped Rivet.
" Yes, in theory anyways." smiled Wheeljack.
Ratchet shook his head at the two mechs. " That's exactly why I want scan you, in case you didn't damage your CPU and imagine the whole thing!" He groaned, then turned to his assistant " And then I'm scanning yours next, Wheeljack!"
" Oh be a little more open-minded, even our top scientists back home can't explain what our sparks are really composed of. There are still mysteries out there that haven't solved. This just might be another one of them."
" But at least we know where our sparks come from. but time travel? It's impossible for him to go through time without there being a cause for it."
" Well...um I didn't mention this before but, you know that device you found inside me?"
" You mean that has something to do with this?" asked the Medic.
" It glowed very brightly when...when Candice...died." said Rivet very sadly.
Wheeljacks suddenly lit up in surprise. " Died? When? I just saw her an hour ago!"
" No uh...in the future or rather...the future-that-didn't-happen..er...it's hard to explain." said Rivet.
" Wait, you mean the timeline that you were in previously?" asked Ratchet, attempting to find some kind of logic to this whole thing. So far he was getting more and more confused.
" Exactly! I went back in time, to the point when she was still alive, to prevent her from..." Rivet refused to finish that thought. The shock itself seeing it the first time was too much for him to bear.
" Thus creating a new timeline. Hmm this is incredibly intriguing." said Wheeljack.
" That is, if what you're saying, actually happened." reminded Ratchet.
" But what was the device you're speaking of?"
" I found a mysterious mechanism inside him when I was doing repairs. It looked like a second spark, but completely independent on it's own. I didn't know what it was, but now from what I'm hearing...I think there might be a connection." explained Ratchet.
Wheeljack was more than intrigued now. Temporal mechanics had always held an interest for him, especially the theory of traveling through time. If all the story Rivet was saying actually true though...he'd get to see an example of it for himself!
" Rivet, can I see this device?"
Author's notes:
As you can already guess, Rivet is a time manipulator, but he isn't very much in control of it...yet. So where did he get this mysterious power from? All that will be answered in the fanfic Relic which will be released after Cosmic Joke has ended. So till then...keep your eyes peeled on this account and my DA account. Sylentnyte dot deviantart dot com. I have artwork of Rivet and Candice in there as well. ;)
