We own nothing, but our characters Scarlet and Blueflame and the idea for this story.
Transformers belongs to their creators, who are not us!
(I just realized I forgot to put that the last few chapters.)
~*~Third POV~*~
As we were about to leave, I pushed Flame behind me as Optimus tried to enter.
"Oh, Rose. I didn't see you." He says not meeting my eyes.
"We were just leaving. Please excuse us." Rose says.
At the sight of Optimus, Blueflame tensed up, her breath caught in her throat. She shrank back in fear and panic quickly strikes her spark, she started to hyperventilate.
"Flame?" Rose turned to the younger femme.
Blueflame had tears streaming down her cheeks and her eyes stared passed her at an unseen horror. She tries to speak, only to make sounds that sounded painful, and finally she collapsed.
"Flame!" Rose catches her as she nearly slammed her head into the ground, Blueflame was shaking and trying to breath.
"Flame relax!" Rose tells her.
"Optimus get Ratchet! NOW!" Rose shouts at the stunned Prime.
"Put your head between your knees, breath slowly." Rose eases Blueflame to sit on the floor and tries to get her to relax.
Blueflame struggled to breathe and to listen to the older femme.
~*~Blueflame's POV~*~
Panic and worry was running all over me, what was happening? Was I going to die? Why can't I breathe?
Suddenly I felt air fill my air vents, as I tried to take controlled breathes, Rose was rubbing my back and trying to calm me down. When I could finally hear her, I followed her instructions. Ratchet ran in quickly, "Blueflame! Can you hear me?" He asked me.
I coughed and nod.
"Alright, here." He presses an air mask on my face.
"Breath slowly, remember deep breathes." Ratchet continues.
I pressed my hands over the mask and held it to my face as I tried to continue to breathe.
I began to take long deep breathes which eventually helped to calm me down. I take large breathes through my nose and exhale from my mouth. Within a few minutes I was okay, other than being shaky and having chest pain.
~*~Rose's POV~*~
I hold Blueflame close. " Ratchet, what the pit happened?" I asked very upset with what happened.
"It was a panic attack." He answered.
"Panic attack?"
"After yesterday? I wouldn't really be surprised. Come on, help me her get her to med bay." He says standing.
"Alight…" I say.
Blueflame stuck close to me as I helped her walk down to med bay. Ratchet walked in front of us and Optimus didn't want to scare Flame again so he followed behind with distance from us.
"Easy, I'm taking the air mask off." Ratchet tells her as he reaches for the mask.
Slowly he takes it from her and sighs as she is allows him to take it.
She takes a few deep breathes on her own as Ratchet pulled out a scanner.
"Hold still while I scan you for internal damage." He ran his scanner over her.
"Optimus, please wait outside. Her stress levels are high enough for 3 mechs." Ratchets says without looking back at him.
"Of course Ratchet." He nods sadly and leaves slowly.
"Scarlet, I need you to mix coolant into a small cube of low grade." Ratchet tells me.
"Right away." I say without hesitation.
I was weary of leaving Flame alone, but Ratchet would protect her.
Mixing the coolant ad energon together was tricky, so I had to take my time.
"Rose."
I turned to see Optimus. I was about to snub him, but he quickly spoke up quickly.
"I wanted to apologize… For what its worth, I just… I don't like this Prime title or the responsibility. I have to make calls and in ht end…" He stops.
"I made a bad call… I very… VERY bad call. I see she's not ready to see me, but can you please tell her that?" He asked me.
I was secretly proud of Prime, wanting to step up like that.
"I will… Thank you Prime." I gave him a weak smile and left to give Ratchet the energon cube.
~*~Blueflame's POV~*~
"You seem to be okay now." Ratchet tells me softly.
"Other than your high stress levels at least."
I stuck my tongue at him.
"Why did that happen? I mean, I've never been that way before." I asked.
"After your first run in with Prime, you might have been afraid of him."
"Him? He didn't to anything to me."
"Physically yes, but he ordered Ironhide to hurt you. Mentally you must have been afraid."
I shrank down at the thought. Me? AFRAID?
Rose came back with a weird looking cube of energon.
"Drink this, it will help calm you down." Ratchet takes it from Rose and hands it to me.
"I want you to stick close to Rose, if you collapse again, she'll know what to do now." He tells me as I sip the sweet energon mixture.
"You got it Doc." I say with a small smile.
"Alright, how you feeling now?" Rose asked me gently.
"Better, my chest isn't hurting as much." I say.
"Something like that can take a lot out of you." Rose says sadly.
"Oh, Prime wanted me to tell you that he was sorry, for causing you so much distress. Believe it or not, he's not that much older than you. So he's trying to live up to the position of Prime. He's not really proud of what happened, and I think he's letting it eat at him pretty bad." Rose tells me.
I make a sour face at the thought of that jerk being sorry.
"So what?"
Rose makes a face back at me.
"At least he's trying." She tells me.
"That doesn't change anything…" I say lowly.
Rose touches my shoulder. "I can't make you forgive him, that's your choice. But I can ask you to think about it." Rose says softly.
I only sigh.
"Alright, now that the doctor has cleared you, how about a small flight around the base?"
I perked up.
"I've studied seeker habits, to stay healthy, they have to have a few hours of flight a day. For mental and physical health." She say slightly impressing me.
"What will you do during that time thought?" I asked.
"Autobots can't exactly fly now can they?" I say with a small smile.
"True, true. I'll just watch. Perhaps catch up on some of my own research." She says as we walked toward the exit of the base.
"Research?" I questioned.
"Seeker habits and health. When Magnus was alive, he didn't really want us to bother studying seekers. At the time they posed no threat, until they joined your father." She tells me.
"But now that you're here, I will need to keep a medical profile now. And I have to start somewhere." She smiles.
"Well, okay then…" I say. Honestly, I felt cared for with Ratchet and Rose around.
"Come on, let's go outside." She says.
Rose opened the door, the moment I felt the air hit my armor, I ran and took off into the air.
Rose was surprised, but not alarmed about me trying to get away. She smiled and shook her head as I started flying in the sky.
I hope you enjoy this story, and if you see something wrong, let me know and I will fix it as soon as possible!
Until next time! Peace out!
