A/N: I had someone asked if Ratchet was Bee's creator? Well, this chapter will explain it all.
The trouble downtown was Meltdown and the damage receive from him could of been worse. Everybody was in the med-bay getting repairs by Ratchet. Ratchet knew Bumblebee was going to bolt for it as soon as he finishes his repairs so he figured to do him last. Besides, he needed to talk to him and he need the rest of them out of here.
Once he was finish with Prime's repaired, he kicked everyone but Bumblebee out. As Bee watch what the medic kick everybody but him out, a game show went off in his head as he tried to come up with an escape plan.
'Now it's time to play Which Door Is Your Escape? Will it be door number one! Run for your aft and pray to Primus that the Medic will never catch you. Or door number two! A death match … which you have a less than 1% chance of winning! The clock is ticking so choose wisely.' He was positive that he could hear jeopardy-like theme music playing in his head.
"I have to stop watching that show." he mumbled as he shook his head.
Ratchet, once he got rid of everybody, lock the door. When Bumblebee heard that locked sound, he grew tense. 'Looks like I'm picking door number 2 please.'
Ratchet turn back to the youngling to see that he was tense and ready for a fight which he probably knew he wouldn't win. He signed before walking over to him.
"Relax, kid. I wouldn't hurt ya."
"I'm not showing my spark, Ratchet." Bee said.
"I know you won't, youngling. You promise your creator that you won't." he said as he begin Bumblebee's repairs.
Bumblebee looks up at him in surprise. "You knew my creator?"
"Of course I do. Who else was the medic that helped him delivered that sparkling?"
"Wait, you were here when I was spark? So, you know that I'm...?" Ratchet nodded. "So, you're not going to tell the others?"
Ratchet shock his head. "No. Your creator had made the very few that knew about you promise to keep you a secret from everybody. And I can see why." He places a hand on his shoulder. "You are the small piece of hope, Bumblebee. Hope that the one day sparkling guardians will appear again. If anything happens to you, the sparkling guardians will seize to exist."
"Thanks doc-bot. No pressure at all."
Ratchet laughed as he continues with the repairs. "Don't worry kid; you'll get use to it. Your Stinger's creation, after all."
Stinger was his Sir's name. "So you knew my Sir, too? How old are you?"
"I'm not as old as Stinger was but yes I've met him a few times. Very respected mech and very wise with what he do."
"That's what my carrier said." Bee felt sad after thinking about his creators.
"Don't be sad, kid. He would of love ya and be proud of you for trying became as great as he was. They both would of."
"Yeah. Wait, how did you know I wanted to be as great as my Sir?"
Ratchet smirk. "You don't think I see you sneaking off and reading things about sparkling care?"
"Uh no, I didn't."
"Hmp, well you're right. I was up late one night and I saw you fell asleep on the monitor. I went to see why you up so late when I was what were on the monitor. I didn't want to discourage you so I woke you up and left before you can see me."
He remembers that night. He felt really tired that night and yet he stayed up anyways. He was really glad Ratchet had waken him when he did otherwise the others would of find him like that.
"Thanks Doc-bot."
"No problem, kid." the medic said as he got ready for the next repair. "Now, let them out."
Bumblebee looked at him confuse. "Let who out?"
"You know what I mean, kid." Ratchet said, indicating his back. "You kept twitching anytime I touch them."
Bumblebee laughed nervously. There was a click sound and his back started to transformed. When it was done, two wings appear and one of them was leaking energon.
"So, I'm guessing you started growing these around your 1st frame?" asked Ratchet as he carefully repairs the leakage. For a mech his age the wings should be almost fully grown. But these look like they're still growing which mean they must of started to appear late in the sparklinghood.
"Yeah, my creator didn't think I'll have them because wasn't sparked with them. He was quite surprise to see them growing."
"Yeah I thought that as well but I should have expected it. Doorwings are usually domain in mech." he then study Bee's back. "So I'm guessing that he installed these special subspace units to your back."
"Yup. I accidently fell on one of them and wouldn't stop crying because it hurt a lot. He thought it would help protect them since they're real sensitive and I'm a bit clumsy."
"That's understandable." said Ratchet as he finishes the repair. Now there was only one thing left to do. "So, can I have a look of that spark of yours?"
Well since Ratchet already knew what he was, he figured why not. Besides, he probably had seen it when he was a little sparkling any ways. He nodded and opens his spark chamber. A golden light fill up the entire room before dimming down.
"Just as bright as I remember." smiled Ratchet before he begin checking it over. He and Bumblebee spent the next few breems talking.
Ratchet told him that he heard about his carrier's death and thought he had died along with him. You could of image his surprise when he saw him on the first day they met. If he had known he was alive, he would have taken him in as his own instead of leaving him alone in Kaon. Bumblebee was touch to see that the medic cared about him so much.
Even after the spark check up, they kept talking. It felt nice to Bumblebee knowing that he has someone to talk to about things like this. He couldn't talk to the others because that would blow out his secret and he didn't want that to happen.
They stop talking when they heard Optimus' voice on the other side of the door, realizing they been in here for a while.
"Ratchet, Bumblebee, is everything okay in there?"
Ratchet walked over to the door as Bumblebee jumped off the berth. The door slide open revealing both Optimus and Sari.
"Sorry Prime. The repairs took longer than I thought." He said. "He's fine."
Bumblebee came up to them and took Sari. "Alright-y then, I'm off. Later Doc-bot."
Optimus and Ratchet watched him go before Optimus turn to Ratchet. "So what really happen?"
"Patient/Doctor Confidentiality" replied the medic before returning to the med-bay. He promise to keep Bumblebee's secret hidden until the day he off-line.
Optimus didn't really believe what the medic said but shock it off. Whatever it was they will tell them on their own time.
A/N: So, no Ratchet is not Bee's creator but he acts like it since he was friends with both his creators and helped bring him into the world. So he thinks of Bee as his own son.
A/N/N: I love the father/son moment between Bee and Ratchet and I hope you guys do too.
Review :)
