Miko hurriedly typed in the base's number and hit 'call'.
"Hello"? Agent Fowler's voice came through and Miko wanted to cry in relief.
"Agent Fowler, its Miko. Me and Starlight need help". She said and she heard a gasp on the other end of the line.
"Miko? They're coming via groundbridge, hold on". He said and Miko nodded mutely, her heart pounding in her chest.
A groundbridge opened and Ratchet, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Optimus came through.
"Miko"! Bulkhead exclaimed and ran forward towards his charge.
"Bulk"! Miko cried and instantly hugged the finger that was extended towards her.
"Miko, where is Starlight"? Ratchet asked and before Miko could even respond, Bumblebee had already run into the forest.
About a minute later Bumblebee walked back out with Starlight in his arms bridal style.
Her head was resting on his shoulder and her optics were offline.
"Is she okay"? Miko asked and Ratchet walked forward and looked at her while she was in Bumblebee's arms.
"Her systems were too low on energon so she's in stasis. Once we get back to base, I'll fix that". He said and they all walked through the groundbridge.
Back at base….
"Miko"! Jack and Raf exclaimed and ran forward to hug said teen, who instantly hugged back.
"Good to have you back. You had us worried". Agent Fowler said and Arcee gave a small smile towards Miko.
"Glad you're okay". She said and Miko smiled at her.
Bumblebee set Starlight down on the medical berth and reluctantly stepped back while Ratchet went to work.
Once he fixed her leg and all the circuitry, he hooked her up to an energon line.
"She should wake up within the hour. Her systems will start rebooting internally first". Ratchet said and Optimus placed his hand on Ratchet's shoulder.
"Well done, old friend". He said sincerely and Ratchet gave a small nod.
Miko walked up to Bulkhead and smiled at him.
"I learned something, Bulk". She said and he raised an optic ridge.
"What's that"? He asked and she looked at Starlight and back at him.
"That two's better than one". She responded and his optics dimmed which meant he was looking up the phrase.
When his optics brightened again, he smiled.
"Yeah, you're right".
