Summery: (Set two months after 2007 movie) When a Autobot squad of six arrives on Earth after hearing the message from their leader, Optimus Prime. The old Cybertronian law enforcer of the group is determined to get in touch with his old partners even though they are part of the Decepticons.
Appearing Autobots: Prowl, Red Alert (an apprentice under Ratchet at one time), Inferno, Smokescreen, and Jetfire
AN: The Prowl in this fic is kind of like the Prowl in the old 80's cartoons but, since I kind of forgot his personally and such he might be a bit OC to those of you who do remember so please don't get mad at me. Plus his background might be changed to suet this fic.

The Return of Jazz
After awhile, it was time for Prowl and Bumblebee to return to the base. "Are you really going to do it Prowl?" Bumblebee asked as they headed outside. The two made sure the cost was clear before they turn off their holograms and started to drive off.
"...I have to..." Prowl said "I feel this is the only thing I have to do..."
"Prowl..."
"...What is it Bee?"
"Why you never told me about Barricade and Frenzy back on Cybertron?"
"...I felt I didn't need to at the time..."
"...Oh..." Prowl nods a bit. "So...you think he'll come back over?"
"...I hope so..." Prowl said softly "He was an enforcer like myself before the war..." Bumblebee nodded.
It wasn't long until the two returned back to the base. They transformed and walked into base. They noticed Optimus was waiting for them. "There you two are." he said.
"What is it?" Bumblebee asked.
"What's up, Prime?'
"Well...I'm finished telling Ratchet. And he and Red Alert think they can put Jazz's body back together." he said.
"R-Really! That's great!" Prowl was speechless.
Optimus nods. "Now all we need is to get Ironhide up." he said.
"Why Ironhide?"
"Cause where Jazz's body is, Ironhide and a human friend of ours are the only ones to get it and bring it back here." said Optimus.
- - -
A couple of days later, Ratchet and Red Alert was still working on putting Jazz's two halves of his body back together. Prowl was standing near by watching them for a while. "Jazz said you guys better not mess his body up." he said.
"Well tell Jazz to hold his spark." said Ratchet "This need to be done right or he won't have a working body at all."
"Don't you two have something better to do?" asked Red Alert.
"I don't know about Jazz but..." Prowl started. He didn't want to say it. Only himself and Bumblebee knew of the promise he gave to Jessica Williams.
"But what?" asked Ratchet.
"...Never mind..." said Prowl as he turns to leave "...I have something I have to do know that I remembered it..." Once Prowl left the two med bots alone and was out of the base, he transforms and drove off to the familiar hospital.
- - -
Once there, he used his human hologram of Robert to go inside and see Jessica. It wasn't long until he arrived at her door. "...Jessica..." he started as he knocks "...It's me."
"Who's me?" she asked and then she saw him. "Oh...Robert...Hi," she smiled.
"Robert" slowly smiled back. "...How are you feeling...?" he asked.
"Much better. I get to go home tomorrow," she smiled.
"...That's good..."
"And YOU promised to take me. To make up for the accident."
"Robert" nods. "...I'm one that always keeps promises..."
Jessica smiled. "So, how have you been since I last saw you?"
"...I'm fine..."
"You don't sound like it, Robert." "Robert" raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I can tell something's bothering you."
"...It's nothing..."
"You sure?" she asked, showing a bit of concern for him.
"...I'm sure..." "Robert" tried to smile at her.
She smiled back. "Just not very social huh?"
"...Well..."
"It's okay. I have a friend who isn't a conversationalist either." "Robert" just smiled a bit. "I can just enjoy your company." "Robert smiled at her again.
- - -
Back at Autobot headquarters, Optimus was sending the same message again, just in cause there was anymore Autobots out there other then the ones that were there. "So...is any more coming Prime?" asked Jetfire as he came and stand next to him.
"I don't really know Jetfire. I just hope some more make it." said Optimus as he looked over at the aerial bot "Did you and the others run into anyone on your way here?"
Jetfire shook his head. "Sadly no." he said "But I know some made it form Cybertron. Prowl made sure many escape safely."
"Well at lest that's good to know." said Optimus "Was Elita one of them?"
Jetfire smiled. "Worry about ya spark mate, Prime?" he asked. Optimus slowly looked up at the sky and Jetfire knew his answer. "Yeah. She was one of them." He said "She was making sure some of the femmes make it." Optimus smiles a bit. "So...any word of Barricade? Or is he still taking orders from Starscream?"
"Nothing yet...but Barricade is doing this just to protect our base and Prowl from the other Decepticons." said Optimus "But I do have a feeling once we put a stop to the last of the Decepticons Barricade and Frenzy will come back over to the good side."
"Well I hope so. Prowl is a mess already without them. I'm afraid he might try something desperate if they aren't around."
"Once Ratchet and Red Alert put back together Jazz's body, Prowl will have his older brother as well as Bumblebee to keep him company."
"I hope you're right sir."
- - -
It was soon the next day and Prowl head over the hospital. His alt form sat in the parking lot while his hologram when inside. He headed to Jessica's room. "Hello again, Robert. Here to keep your promise?"
"Robert" nods. "...Of course..." he said. Jessica smiled and stood from the bed, slowly gathering her things. "...Need any help...?"
"Thank you kindly, Robert. It's hard to pack with this arm bandaged up." "Robert" smiled and went over to help. Jessica smiled, blushing a little as he helped her get her things into a Personal Belongings bag. Once that was done the two headed out of the room. "Robert" waited for her to sign herself out before escorting her to his car form. Jessica saw the SUV highway patrol car sitting there in the parking lot. "Nice car you have."
"...Thanks..." She smiled as he "opened" the door for her and waited for her to get in before going to the driver's side. Once "inside" he started the engine. She smiled at him as they drove off.
- - -
As they drove down the road, a sound of a jet passing over them was heard. Primus! Please not HIM!
"Man that pilot is flying a bit too low." said Jessica.
"...Yes he is..." "Robert" half growled. Worry and annoyance were in his voice. Suddenly the jet turns around and was flying straight AT them!
"Oh my God!"
"HANG ON!" "Robert" called, swerving out of the way. Suddenly the jet transforms into a huge bot. One that "Robert" didn't want to run into that moment. Primus, what is Starscream doing?!
Starscream just glared at Prowl with a smirk. "Hello Prowl... I can promise you this right now... You WON'T survive this time." Jessica looked shock at the huge grayish silver robot that was once that huge jet glaring down at her and "Robert". "Well look at what I found." The huge bot said with an evil smirk "I guess I will...What you humans say? Kill two birds with one stone."
Suddenly to Jessica's surprised, the passenger door open all by it's self. "Wha?" she started.
"Robert" glances over at her. "...Jessica," he started "Get out."
"You're not serious." Jessica said "If that thing gets this car you will be killed."
"...That's not going to happen...But I want you out... This is for your safely."
"You must be crazy. Even if I do get out and that thing will crush you, it will crush me as well."
"...Do you trust me?"
"What dose that has anything to do..."
"...Do YOU trust me?"
"Yeah..." Jessica started. "Robert" reached over, unbuckle Jessica's seat belt.
"...Then jump..." he said as he gently push Jessica out into the near by grass.
"Robert!" Jessica shouted as she slowly stood up from where she landed "What are you...?!" "Robert" smiled a bit at her as the passenger door closed by its self. "Robert!!!" She watched as the SUV Nevada highway patrol car swerve towards the bot. "ROBERT DON'T BE A HERO!" Suddenly she watched in shock, with a mix of total fear, when the SUV transforms into another huge bot. "...R-Robert...?!" she shouted. She was worried that this new bot had crushed the young man she knew as Robert. The new bot slowly looks over its shoulder at her. She looked shock and saw the duo color optics and the opening in the face that looked so much similar "Robert's" duo color eyes and his scar on his face.
"...Jessica..." the bot started in "Robert's" voice.
"...R-Robert...?"
"...The name's not Robert... It's just plain old Prowl." The bot said with a small smile at her.
"How touching, Autobot." Starscream said, not very impress "How about I just put your spark out of commission and then deal with your human friend?"
"...I don't think so..." Prowl said with a sneer as his shoulder cannons came out "...I won't let you harm Miss Jessica..."
"Well then, this will be a fun new game." Starscream said "Let's see if you can handle protecting the human while not trying to hurt her while you try and fight me?" Jessica was still a bit scared on what was going on.
"Robert? Is it...YOU?"
"Yes, but no time for a long explanation..." Prowl said, firing "RUN AWAY! While you still can!" Jessica was still very confused but she decided she wasn't going to run. "JESSICA! GO NOW!!" Prowl cried as he tried to shield her from Starscream, while trying to shoot him. At that moment a semi truck with blue and red flames, a black pick up truck, and a yellow Camaro drove up.
Jessica watched as Starscream turned around. "I can beat you all!" He fired at Jessica while Prowl was distracted with the help. He realized as she screamed what happened and dove in front, taking the full hit.
Prowl wince as his duo color optics looked down at her. "...You okay...?" he asked.
"...P-Prowl... You...saved me..."
"YOU OVERGROWN JUNK JET!" called Bumblebee as he transformed without a second thought and hit Starscream square in the chest.
"Why you little..." Starscream shouted before he was being shot at by Ironhide, who had just transforms as well.
"Don't even think about it," he smirked.
"Bumblebee, be more careful next time," Optimus warned as he transformed. "Rash actions could get you hurt."
"I'll take all you Autobots down!" Starscream shouted.
"No...you won't!" Prowl said slowly standing.
"Fire and watch the human!" cried Optimus. All the Autobots that was there took aim and fire at Starscream.
"I'll...I'll...de-stroy...you!!" he whined as he fired in between taking hits. Jessica watched in awe as Prowl protected her as well as the other Autobots.
Autobots? So that's what you are Robert? she thought.
Bumblebee jumped in front of Prowl, pushing him and Jessica out of the way as one of Starscream's random shots came that way. "...Bumblebee..." Prowl warned, worried that Bumblebee gotten hurt by that.
"I'm...fine..." he sighed as he slowly stood.
"...Are you sure...?" He nodded, another shot grazing him. He quickly fired back, doing more damage to Starscream for the moment. It took awhile but Starscream decided to retreat at the moment. He was getting hit badly anyways with all these Autobots out number him. Bumblebee collapsed to his knees with a sigh. He had taken more damage protecting Prowl than he thought. Prowl didn't look too good either. Jessica was fine, but still confused on what just happened. Optimus and Ironhide came over to them.
"Everybody still in one piece?" asked Ironhide.
"Prowl, Bumblebee, you two alright?"
"...Yea..." Prowl said as he slowly looked over at Jessica.
"I'll be fine," Bumblebee replied. Optimus notice the look Jessica was giving all of them.
He knelt down to her, extending his hand. "I am Optimus Prime. I'm the leader of the Autobots, autonomous robot beings from the planet Cybertron. We mean you no harm, but that jet plane, Starscream, does. He's one of the Decepticons."
"Okay...this is weird..." Jessica said, staring at the taller Optimus before her.
"We've come to your planet because of a war that has started on ours. We were in search of the All Spark, our source of life to repair our world. The All Spark has since been destroyed but we have decided to remain here for now."
"Wait, there are more of you?" Prowl at that moment nods.
"...On this planet...yes..." he said.
"Whoa! Okay... So... Who are you? The good guys right?"
"...Yes..." Prowl spoke again.
"You bet your spark!" Bumblebee piped up.
"Humans don't have sparks, Bee." said Prowl with a sigh.
"Well...you know what I mean..."
"Wait...Bee...?" Jessica started "You mean as in Bee the teen boy form a couple of weeks ago?"
"Uh oh...busted..."
"...What you saw..." Prowl started "...Was a couple of holograms..." With that he produces the form of "Robert" before Jessica.
"Robert! But...wait... So... You really ARE Robert..."
"They used the holograms to get into the hospital to see you. They also didn't want to frighten you away," said Optimus.
"...My true name is Prowl... It's hard to shorten it for a sensible human name like Bee can."
"Okay..."
"...How about I still take you home...?"
"Are you sure? Shouldn't you get healed first?"
"...I'll be fine..." Prowl said.
"Mr. Optimus sir, is that alright?" Prowl looked over at his commander.
"Alright Prowl, you can go. I want you to be careful since you're wounded."
Prowl nods. "...I will sir..." Prowl said as the transforms back into his SUV form. His door opened and Jessica slowly got in. "...Bumblebee..." Prowl started "...I suggest you see Ratchet and Red Alert..."
"But what about Prowl?"
"Don't worry about him, little buddy. You need some R and R." Ironhide said. Bumblebee sighed and transformed. Prowl "smiled" to himself before he pulled out.
- - -
Prowl slowly drove up to the group of apartments. "...You live here...?" Prowl asked confused.
"Yeah." Jessica said "Not all cops make a good enough pay check to live in a good house."
"...I see..."
"I'm still not use to you being a giant robot from outer space." Jessica said.
"...Not may humans are..." Prowl spoke "...That why we hide ourselves in these forms..."
"I see." Jessica said "I bet its lonely being here then back on your home planet."
"...Yes..." Prowl said "...Don't get me wrong, your planet is quite beautiful but it's nothing comparing to Cybertron..."
"Rob...Prowl..." Jessica started.
"... Yes...?"
"Is there any females like yourselves?"
"...Yes..."
"Are they here?"
"...No..."
"You're not much of a talker are you?"
"..." Jessica took that as a yes.
"Prowl...Is there any female of your kind that..."
"...No..."
"I haven't even finished my question."
"...I know what you were going to asked me..." Prowl spoke "...You were going to asked of there any females that are what you humans say...my girl friend..."
Jessica blinked in surprised. "Wow you're a robot form of Sherlock Homes."
"...Who...?"
"It's this made up detective in a very old series of books." Jessica said "Maybe if I find a media form of them I'll give them to you. I bet you find the character in the books quite similar to yourself."
"..."
"Prowl..."
"...Hmmm..."
"Why don't you have one?"
"...Cause no female would care for a bot such as myself..."
"That is NOT true Prowl." Jessica said "I'm sure there's a female out there that will care for you."
"...No there isn't..."
"Who wouldn't like you? You're smart and very kind..."
"...It's getting late, you should get inside..."
Jessica slowly got out of Prowl. "Are you heading back now?" she asked him.
"...I lost too much of my energy from that battle with Starscream to make it back to base..." Prowl said "...I'll just rest here for the night..."
"You sure?" she asked.
"...Yeah..."
"Okay then." She said "Goodnight then Prowl."
"...Night
Miss Jessica..." She smiled softly at him and started to head to
her apartment. Prowl watched until she disappeared into the
building. "...Night Jazz..." he whispered to the spare spark of
his brother that he carried.
(Night
bro...) Prowl then closed his
optics for a good long rest.
Jessica smiled at the sleeping car outside her window. "Rest well, Prowl," she whispered. She smiled at him one last time before going back to sleep.
- - -
At base, Red Alert was doing what he could by himself on Jazz's body as Ratchet took the time to help Bumblebee. "Starscream really took his toll on you, young one. Don't be so rash next time."
"Sorry." Bumblebee said "It was all I can think of to help Prowl."
Ratchet just smiled. "Always putting others before yourself," he almost laughed. Bumblebee sighed, growing a bit anxious as his thoughts drifted towards his cop car friend. He looked towards Jazz's body.
"Don't worry, Bee. He'll make it. Just a few more things and then we're ready for his spark." Bumblebee nodded.
"Alright Bumblebee, you're good as new," Ratchet said, gently closing him up.
"Thanks."
Ratchet just nodded before sighing deeply. "Back to the task at hand," he said taking a deep breath and sighing again as he walked over to Red Alert.
Bumblebee looked back at the two of them before heading out. "I'm going to go check on Prowl." The two med bots just nodded, not looking up from their work.
- - -
Bumblebee headed towards Prowl's quarters. "Bumblebee..." Optimus started "Prowl haven't come back yet."
"He didn't?" he questioned, worry on his face.
"Don't worry, he's probably still with Jessica."
"Oh..."
"Why don't you head back to Sam's?" suggested Optimus "It had been a long night for all of us."
"Okay..." Optimus smiles as he watched Bumblebee transforms and drove off.
- - -
The next morning, Ratchet and Red Alert had worked long into the night so that morning the body of Jazz was put back together. Bumblebee was driving back to base with Sam and Mikeala. "So what is this surprise you said Optimus and the others have at your base?" Sam asked as they near the base.
"You'll see once we get there." Bumblebee said happily.
- - -
At Jessica's place, Prowl was still sleeping in the parking space he was in when he brought Jessica home. 'Optimus to Prowl. Come in Prowl.'
Prowl slowly awoke with a yawn. 'Prowl here... What is it sir?'
'You better come back to base. Ratchet and Red Alert had just finished putting back together Jazz's body.'
'Okay sir. I'll be right there...' Just as Prowl started his engine, Jessica had came out of her apartment and came up to him.
"Morning Prowl." she said with a smile.
"...Oh, good morning Miss Jessica."
"You're going?"
"I'm needed back at base..."
"Can I come?" Jessica asked.
"...I don't know..."
"I like to meet the rest of your kind."
"You sure?" Jessica nods with a smile. "...I guess..."
Jessica smiled. "Thanks Prowl." she said as she suddenly hug Prowl's hood. If Prowl was human, he would had started to blush. He opens his door for her. He watched as she carefully got in. He made sure she was buckled up before he pulled out and started the drive back to the headquarters.
- - -
It wasn't long until the base was coming in view. Jessica stares in awe at it. "It's huge..." she said.
"It has to be," Prowl said "or our commander won't fit."
Jessica was about to ask who he meant by that until she saw Optimus standing at the entrance waiting for them. Oh yeah, I forgot about him. she thinks.
"Prowl..." Optimus started until he saw Jessica coming out "Oh, hello again Jessica."
"Hello." She said with a smile as Prowl transforms.
"She insisted she came along." Prowl explained.
"It's quiet alright, Prowl." Optimus said "At least we're not fighting any Decepticons."
"And I want to meet the rest. Is that okay?" Jessica asked.
"It's quiet alright." Optimus said with a smile.
Just as the three started to the base, Bumblebee drove up. He let the teens out before he transforms. "Officer Williams?" Sam asked surprised when he saw Jessica "How did...?"
"Starscream attacked us." explained Prowl.
"So...you two are real?" Jessica asked the teens, since she knew the Bee and Prowl she first meet was holograms.
"Yep," said Sam.
"We're the real thing," said Mikeala.
"Well that's good to know." Jessica said with a smile. Everyone just laughed.
"So what's the surprise Bee said you have?" Mikeala asked Optimus as the group came into the base.
He just smiled and turned away. Bumblebee smiled and followed. "C'mon." The teens and Jessica looked at each other confused. Prowl just fallowed silently behind them. At that moment the Twins had raced in the room, by the looks of it the two bots were hiding something from behind their backs.
Prowl crossed his arms angrily. "What are you two hiding and don't play games."
"Ahhh...Nothing Prowl..." the bots said together. Jessica couldn't help but stare up at the two.
"PRIMUS!" they heard Ironhide's voice shouted down the way "SOMEONE GET ME DOWN!"
"What in Cybertron..." puzzled Bumblebee as he raced off towards Ironhide. Optimus and everyone else followed. The twins tried to get away.
"Sides, Sunny You're Coming Too," Prowl said dangerously as he glared at them. The twins grumble. When everyone got to where Ironhide was heard they saw him welded to a near by wall.
"HELP ME DOWN!"
"Ironhide..." started Optimus "What happen?" The twins giggled, Sunstreaker slowly releasing his grip on what he was hiding. Jessica, being curious and being a police officer with juvenile delinquent experience, crept over to them.
"What are you two doing with a welder?" she asked. Prowl suddenly turns and glare at them.
"How did you two got that from Ratchet?" he asked in a serious tone.
"We didn't..."
"It's ours we..."
"You don't think WE did this to him do..." started Sideswipe. Jessica smirked.
"I thought so. You two have guilt written all over your faces."
Prowl put his hands to his hips, glaring at the twins. "Don't lie." he said "I KNOW you two don't own a welder."
At that moment Ratchet and Red Alert came out to see what was going on. "Ironhide...?" started Red Alert "How did you get there?"
"WHAT IN PRIMUS?" shouted Ratchet. Prowl, Jessica, and Bumblebee glared at the twins.
"Fess up, or you'll get a face full of my cannon," warned Bumblebee. Sideswipes gulped and started to cave. Sunstreaker did his best to stay calm.
"JUST GET ME DOWN!" Ironhide shouted. Red Alert sighed.
"Just wait there. Don't go anywhere while I find something to cut you down." Red Alert said as he left to do just that.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY, RED!"
"Alright you two, fess up and give me back what you took or I'll give you a permanent stay under my 'care'."
"It was all Sunny's idea!" Sideswipe shouted.
"SLAG! SOME BROTHER YOU ARE!"
"Then you admit it!" smirked Jessica. Ratchet then saw what the twins were hiding.
"You're in big trouble...deeper than the largest elevator shaft on Cybertron," Bumblebee taunted.
Red Alert came back with something to cut Ironhide down from the wall. "And you two just have to start trouble..." Prowl growled.
"Return Ratchet's welder and go immediately to your quarters while we deliberate your punishment," Optimus said in a rare aggressive tone.
"Slag, we wanted to see Jazz..."
"Well now you won't have that chance today." said Prowl "You two should have behaved instead of causing trouble."
"Jazz?" Jessica asked the teens confused.
"...H-he... He was...torn in half...by...by..." started Mikeala.
"By Megatron. Ratchet and Red Alert were able to help put him together again."
The teens looked up a Bumblebee confused. "But why?" Sam asked "What's the point with him...dead...?"
"Unless...he's not...?" Mikeala asked hopefully.
"I'd ask Prowl that one," said Optimus with a smile. After awhile, Red Alert got Ironhide off the wall.
"Thanks Red."
"No problem."
"Now...as for WHO I owe this fun little endeavor to..." Ironhide glared. The twins screamed and ran off to their quarters. "You better run! I'll give you a worse punishment than anyone in this base!"
"Ironhide, calm down." said Optimus "You can deal with the twins later. Where are the others?"
At that moment Jetfire and the others Autobots had just came in. "Did the Twins strike again?" asked Smokescreen.
Ironhide let the twins go, taking deep calming breaths. Everyone sighed in mostly relief to hear the twins slam their door shut and stay put. "I'll take that as a yes," Jetfire said.
"Wow Prowl, there sure are a lot of you." Jessica said as she looked up at him "They must the 'Crazy Teenagers' you told me about."
"...Yes..." he sighed heavily.
"Say Prowl, when did you get a human?" Inferno asked.
"...Wh-what do you mean by that?" he asked. Inferno pointed to Jessica who stood next to him. "Oh... Th-this is Jessica, Officer Williams to you."
"I get you." Inferno said with a smirk. Prowl growled at him.
Jessica watches in aw as she was introduced to the rest of the Autobots. "Okay," started the bot called Ratchet "Now that we said all our howdy dos..." The Twins started to laugh.
"Ratchet said Howdy." Sunstreaker giggled.
"Okay knock it off you two." Ratchet said seriously "Now we need to get started in the real reason we're here."
"I thought you two were staying in your quarters?" Ironhide glared at them, charging up his cannons at them.
"Meep!" the twins shouted and raced back to their room.
"Agreed." said Optimus as he looked over to his second in command "Prowl." Prowl nods as he open his special compartment. Everyone except Ratchet and Optimus watched in awe as Prowl produced a working spark.
"Is that...?" started Sam confused as Ratchet gently took said spark from Prowl.
Optimus took a familiar piece of metal that looked like it had been partially melted. There were ancient writings on it. Please Primus...let this work... he sighed as he put the spark on the piece of the All Spark. There was a bright flash before the piece of the All Spark was gone and all that was left was Jazz's new spark, glowing brighter than before.
Ratchet gently took the spark from his commander and gently placed it in the corresponding spark compartment in Jazz's body. Primus...let this bring him back...
Prowl himself was getting worried as he watched this. Brother... Ratchet gently closed the door and moved away. There were intense minutes of silence before blue optics slowly opened. The Autobots and the teens happily looked at Jazz as he slowly started to move.
"...Wh-what's...going on? I was...close to...the Matrix...and now everyone's staring at me. Is my melody out of tune?"
"...Jazz..."
"...Prowl?" Prowl suddenly race over to him and glomp him, starting to cry his optics out. The teens and Jessica looked at this very confused. Bumblebee and the other bots couldn't help but smile and slowly turn to leave.
"Bee...What's going on?" Sam asked confused.
"Yeah why is Prowl hugging Jazz like that?" asked Mikeala.
"Prowl haven't seen his big bother in a long time." explained Jetfire as the group left the med bay.
"He's been dead for awhile. He misses him. Besides, Jazz is all the guy has left," said Bumblebee. "He needs some time alone."
"Right. Ratchet, Ironhide," said Optimus. "You two and I need to 'have a talk' with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe."
The said bots nods. "Of course Prime sir."
- - -
Jazz and especially Prowl were glad to have everyone leave. Prowl let everything out then. "Hey, I didn't know ya miss me that badly." Jazz said, trying to cheer up his younger brother.
"...W-What did you...e-expected...?" Prowl sobbed "...Y-You're all...t-the family I...h-have back..."
"Yeah," Jazz said with a small smile "I know." Prowl buried his head into Jazz's chest still sobbing.
- - -
Meanwhile, back in the main room, the three humans were starting to ask questions to the bots that was there in the room with them. "Okay now I'm very confused." Jessica started "I thought Bee said he was Prowl's brother."
"In a sense yeah..." started Red Alert.
"Well…" started Bumblebee. "I'm not his REAL brother. Just adopted in a sense. He's always been a big brother to me."
"Prowl's only true family were his creator, his twin brother Bluestreak, and Jazz. Both his twin and his creator were lost during the war…" Optimus added sadly.
"…Ah…I see… Then yes, we should leave them alone for a while…" Jessica said sadly. She felt for Prowl. He didn't even have a mate. All he had was his newly revived brother. It must be so hard for him… she thought.
- - -
In the medical bay, Prowl had calmed down a little bit. "Hey, I'm glad I'm back too. I'm sorry I left ya like that. I'm sure the guys kept ya company, especially Bee."
"…Yes…but it's not the same…"
"I know, Prowl. But he looks up to you still. What's with the little lady?" Jazz smirked.
"…N-Nothing…"
"C'mon now, you can't fool me…"
"It's nothing, Jazz… I…"
"I can tell you like her, brother."
"…" Prowl tried not to blush.
"See? I knew it. She's a fine lady, she is. Don't lose her."
"…Alright…you win. I never COULD hide anything from you, even with my higher logic."
"It's a sixth sense all big brothers have," smiled Jazz.
"…P-Promise…" Prowl started.
"Promise what?"
"Promise me…you won't die so recklessly? I… I don't want to lose you again…"
"I can't absitively posolutely promise, but I will be more careful next time," Jazz smiled as he hugged Prowl. He uncharacteristically hugged back before drying his optics and letting go. "Alright, that's enough of the mushy stuff. Gotta give the others a turn now." Prowl nodded and both of them walked out of the med bay.
- - -
As the two walked out of the medical bay, they saw the group in the main room. "Wow Jazz must be the LITTLE big brother." said Sam as he saw that Prowl stood taller then Jazz.
"Say wha?" Jazz started as he looked at Prowl.
"I guess he's right, Jazz." Prowl said with a smile as he rest his arm on top of Jazz's head "I guess I have my own personal arm rest."
