I don't own Transformers nor will I make any money from this, I do however hope to make you like my story and to have you go read and review some of my other ones as well, so without further ado, read on.

Rating : MA for mature audience. There will be sub and dom themes as well as some S&M and BDSM. It'll all be consensual but sort of resisted as well as it be mech on mech, or slash so I am warning you now if that is not your thing then you shouldn't be here any longer or you will simply be upsetting yourself.

Pairings : Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Hound Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Jazz Hound/Mirage. Others may be included but the main pair will be Sunny/Sides/Hound if there is any pairing in particular that you would like or any ideas please leave them in a review along with why you like them and how you think they could be in put into the fic and I will see if it can be added without messing with my idea of the fic.

Summery : The war is just starting and everyone has just picked their sides, which sat well with Jazz because he was on the bot side and couldn't be happier, until he is called into the Primes office to be told who his dom would be. This couldn't end well for him.

A Home to Call my Own

Sunny/Sides Pov: Chapter three

Sides

I groan when I see Ultra Magnus Ship on a docking area near the one we're to set on. I was hearing enough from the others as it was about having opened my mouth about Mirage and getting us stuck with another sub. It's not like I WANTED to get us another one; heck, I don't even want Mirage! Not that I hate the mech; though, he is kind of weird. I just don't care to have to do everything for them. I mean come on, so you have a sub type spark, so what! It doesn't mean that you go and need somebot to tell you how to do everything in your life. We had gotten lucky with Mirage; he had wanted to continue on with his life as an autobot. Though I hate that he was in an army when we're no where near him to take care of a problem if it arises.

This had been the big problem between Sunny and Hound when Hound decided to let him go off and live with the bots. Hound didn't want to take over the bot's life and neither did Sunny, but he didn't want the mech out of his reach where we wouldn't be able to protect him if something went wrong; which, come on in a war it's always going to go wrong! I agree with Sunny, Hound shouldn't have let the mech so far from our reach. Not only because of the war, but also because we have our own enemies who could and would hurt the mech if they ever found out who he belonged to. With a grin, I go to wake the others up and let them know we're here. After all it's going to be fun to walk right up to the Prime himself and not be able to be arrested.

"Come on, lets go! I want to go get the mech and get out of here. Not to mention I want to check up on Mirage and mess with Magnus." I state knowing the last part will grab their attention. Sure enough they both jolted up when they heard Magnus name. We had a long and fun history with the Magnus. From him chasing us across the galaxy to us pranking him just because we were in the area.

"What the frag is he doing here? I thought they gave us free passage in to get the new mech! Damn this will be a bit trickier. Do we even know the mech's name is let alone what he looks like?" Sunstreaker asks me with a grin starting to form on his lip plates as he feels me start to plan things out. I grin back to him before sliding into his lap and grab his helm and drag him forward into a searing kiss. It started out innocent enough but ended with Hound smacking our helms together to get our attention.

"What?" we pouted together. Then with a grin and combined plan we start to move toward him to get him to join in, only for him to get up and point to the com screen which was blinking. Damn bots always ruining our fun. With a grunt and a promise to finish later I get up and head into the main communications room. We'd gotten Moon at a great discount from a con. He unfortunately didn't like the proposal I had offered him so Sunny offered him a different one. One he didn't get a chance to moan about. Now I understand why, she is a beautiful ship, not one of those cheap barely put together ones.

Course it took a bit to get her to our liking but now, now she runs properly under our command. I think she might be slightly sentient. She seems to know what we want or what were going to do. Sunny thinks I'm just seeing what I want but he likes her as well, I know it. Cons, don't know a good thing when they have it. Oh well, she's better off in our hands anyway. I snap out of it when Sunny smacks the back of my helm and tells me to get to it. I shrug and pat at the counsel and she just answers it for me. I grin at Sunny over my shoulder. He just grunts and turns back to the screen which is now holding some mech's mug.

"We'll be down momentarily to take possession of what's ours." I say deciding I wanted to get this done fast and get back to finishing up what I started. I turn about to shut down the communication when the bot opened his vocal processors.

"I am Optimus Prime. I am commander of this sector. Ultra Magnus wishes to have a word with you and your mates. If you would please disarm your ships cloaking ability and join us. I assure you your still allowed to enter with no trouble." The bot tells me with no indication of what he was thinking; exactly by the book. I disliked him already; no fun what so ever.

"I'm just here to take what is mine, I have no interest in you or your wants." I state plainly letting him know I would be down momentarily. I shut down the communication.

"What; he annoyed me! You didn't like him either! Anyway, come on, lets just get this done with. I want to get back up here and get out. I don't like taking another bots words. Have you called Mirage yet Hound?" I state without even bothering to turn around, I could feel their annoyance at my actions. I don't even know why I did it, just set my nerves on edge that one. Besides I only deal with one Prime. They cycle some air into their vents but other then that they say nothing to me and set about getting their things ready. We're not stupid, we wouldn't never walk into what could be a potential set up unarmed. I gather my things already set out for me and head towards the transmat purposely leaving the cloaking on. Hound snorts but they follow after me.

"Right this way, sirs, The Primes are waiting for you. Uh, do you need some bot to park your ship, sir? I know not many can, but we do have qualified bots here." A dark blue/grayish mech said all in one go.

"No one goes near my ship if they know what's good for them." I tell the truth, I still hadn't had the time to hack the defenses. Not really all that worried about it anyway; I tend to keep them running. He nods and starts to lead us to the room with the Primes; talking the whole way. Honestly, does he ever stop? I don't even know what a shake is or why he would have one if he couldn't actually use it. I turn to Sunny to ask him what it was; he just shrugs. He tends to go out with Hound to search out the local wildlife of a planet we visit while I get the work done. Funnily enough, I tend to get into more of the locals stuff then they do until I need them. You wouldn't think so but dealing is a tough business.

"Right in there. Um, sirs?" I snapped out of my thoughts as the mech stops and calls out to us and see the door to a main hall. With a quick nod to allow us in the mech opens the door and we walk in. He follows in after us closing the door with a soft swish. There was a table with several mechs seated around it. I raise my brow ridge in question to Magnus. I guess the other Prime wasn't fooling about after all. The blue/grayish mech moved forward and took one of the four seats left. Magnus stood up and swept his arm to the remaining seats left.

"Please, have a seat, I only wish to speak with you for a moment. This is Optimus, he is the reigning Prime of this sector; his second, Prowl. Next to him are his brothers: Smokescreen and Bluestreak; the one who walked you in. This is his Chief Medical Officer, Ratchet, and his mate, WheelJack. Then there is Ironhide, he is the weapons specialist and Prime's Private Instructor. On your right is Jazz. He is Prime's third in command. I believe you already know Mirage to your left?" Magnus stated and he pointed out each mech to us as Sunny and Hound took the seats. I stood slightly behind them. I wasn't being rude, it was strategic; I would have better reach standing if something started. I was here to be the guard; Sunny would do all the talking.

Sunny

"That's great and everything but what's any of them got to do with us?" Sunny asks what I was thinking.

"They're part of a elite unit who work under Optimus. They're the best at what they do; the best we have. You're the best we have. I want you to join Optimus and help us. I am offering you a full pardon from all the things you have done in the past. Regardless of what you choose to do today you will have that. Not like we have the mech power to keep chasing you down in the middle of a war. I want you to join us." Magnus stated plainly which won him some points and I can even see why he would want us; we are the best. After all, words only get you so far before you needed to show some real action, and we had been doing that a lot as of late thanks to the cons thinking they're all that and that they should get a free ride. Well, Sides didn't see it that way. Nor did Hound for that matter. I don't care as long as everything goes according to plan. When things don't then I join in and help clean up the mess.

I glance back at Sides just out of habit rather then actual need. I already knew his answer all I needed was Hounds. Problem was, Hound wouldn't care either way; he never did. He was happy where ever we were so long as we're together. With a slight lift of shoulder plates I turn back to Magnus.

"So nice of you for the pardon, we'll remember it. So which one is ours?" I state plainly. Sides was getting antsy and that wasn't good. Normally I was the one who was ready to fight but he has been on edge ever since we came into the area. We have over thirty mechs out looking for us in the immediate vicinity who wouldn't care about Magnus pardon.

"Jazz, he is my tic, I was hoping that regardless of your answer to Magnus that you would allow him to stay on and help us. He is needed. We won't run as efficiently without him. We would not forget it if you allow him to remain behind with us, and we would of course stick to any guidelines you would set into place." Optimus spoke out for the first time since the video chat he and Siders had. Sideswipe stepped up behind the mech named Jazz. He pulled out a shiny black collar with our stamp of the blade on it. Quickly and efficiently, he replaced the dulled one given to the mech by the information squad.

"Told 'em to leave him be till I got here, the idiots never listen." He snarled to me in obvious agitation. It was time to take our leave before he decided to release some of his tension on what ever was near by. I start to stand and tell Optimus now would not be a good time to discuss this when another mech also stood up, his second in command and Sideswipe lost it. He was across the table in half a tic, and had him by the neck against the wall in the next one. I was quick to step between them both.

"I think it's time we take our leave Magnus. Sideswipe here has an appointment with me and a training room. We'll have to talk about what he will do some other time. For now he is to come with us, as well as you Mirage, let's go." I tell them all as I get Sideswipe to release his hold on this Prowl. Hound was up and wearily watching the others who had started to stand. He had already took both Mirage and Jazz and had pushed them back. They were ours, we wouldn't allow their injury. Sideswipe lifted his hands in mock surrender. He just wanted to get back onto the ship and at the moment I was in no mood to argue with him. I started to back us away from the others, when their Prime stood up, his own hands in the air.

"Take this, so you can call us when ever your ready to talk about Jazz and Mirage to continue working with us. Perhaps, some cycle you will even use it to let us know you wish to join us as well." He slowly slides the communication device over to Jazz who took it with out word. In fact, he hadn't said word one since we met.

"Hound I wish to stay. There is no reason for me to take leave just for you to settle Jazz in." Mirage asked his dom's permission to stay behind and continue his work. Sideswipe was in no mood to entertain him apparently because he was quick to cut Hound's response off.

"No; move now." He stated and I jerked my head in the direction of the door. Hound took no position against us, at least not openly. I could, however, feel his anger at Sideswipe; that was going to be one loud conversation later. With a sigh, he followed Jazz out the door and I pushed Sideswipe ahead of me and out the door.

"Check with you later Magnus." I tell him as I leave the door. Don't need him thinking were trying to kill him we have enough problems as it is. I herd the others back to the transmat and enter our specific code; guiding the other two up first, followed by Sideswipe and Hound, with me taking up the rear. Once we got on the ship you would have thought a world war had started on board. Mirage was questioning Sideswipe as to why he couldn't stay, Hound was yelling at Sideswipe, who apparently thought they both could go shove it if they didn't like his decision and told them as such. That shut Mirage up, but Hound not so much.

"Hound, not now. You know why he is upset. Deal with it Mirage. You, what's wrong with you? Has your vocalizer been messed up? Tell me now before we get to far from a medic." I ask Jazz. I didn't want to have to turn around and go back. I'm not sure Sides could handle it at the moment. In fact, his only thoughts were to get his servos around the necks of all their enemies. I let him know that could take awhile. I understood the impulse to protect what is yours though. Jazz shook his head no. I sighed, so in other words he was just scared. That might take some time to get over.

"Well, in that case let Mirage show you to your quarters. He can show you how everything works. We'll talk in the morning cycle. Get some recharge while I deal with these idiots." I nod to Mirage telling him to take Jazz with him. He takes Jazz's hand and leads him to his room.

"What's wrong, Sideswipe? Your're acting like an moron more then your usual self." I knew something had happened to set him off. He had been getting ready to attack almost the second we stepped into the room. Something was up.

"That was Prowl, I've seen him before, with Quicksand; the mech who wants us dead, or did you forget about the bomb he left us as a present. WHEN WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE! We had to wait for near two months doing nothing but drifting! I don't care for any bot that is working with him neither!" Now I get it, Hound had been hurt in the explosion leaving Sideswipe and I to nearly loose our minds in worry.

~split~

Ok that's it for now, and next chapter they get to know each other a bit better, and Sideswipe, Hound, and Sunstreaker kiss and make up. Everything that is in order, is thanks to Ayami1 and anything that is not is all my fault! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Review and let me know what you were thinking.
