Optimus looked at the trio with concern. "Well, what did you find out?" Lennox walked across the platform in the main hangar, over to a setup camera. He was talking to someone…probably General Morshower. Starfire looked back over at Prime. "Umm…yeah Wheeljack what did we find?" Star looked over at Wheeljack, her optics pleading with him.
Wheeljack stared at Prime for a moment before he spoke. "Uhhh…well sir, we've searched our moons and various stars…we cannot find the rarefied energon."
Optimus turned away from the trio and shook his head. "We need to find it…I believe that the rarefied energon will be our last hope." It might have been true…the rarefied energon would be able to make new transformers. That type of energon is what makes a transformers spark but unfortunately the trio couldn't find any. Primus had kept its location very secret. Only of one his thirteen originals knew the location. Optimus let out a deep sigh. "I'm assuming you haven't found Breakaway then?"
Starfire shook her head. "No, sir. We were unable to locate him. Sources have told us he's still alive, but we could not find him." Not being able to locate Breakaway was another blow to Optimus. All of the autobots knew that Breakaway was magnificent. He could repair wounds that Ratchet couldn't even dream of repairing.
Optimus nodded his head. "Thank you all for trying. We will have to continue to fight this war the best way we can. You're all dismissed." The trio turned and began to walk out of the hangar, looking for their compartment bays, which were located in a special hangar built for the autobots. Optimus turned and spoke again, stopping the trio in their tracks. "Before you go to the other hangar, Sunstreaker….you're brother is waiting for you."
Sunstreaker nodded. "Oh great…family reunion." He turned to Starfire.
"I'll see you soon." He winked at her and then stalked off to meet up with his twin, Sideswipe. Optimus turned back to Lennox and began talking with him. Star looked at Wheeljack and shook her head and began to the compartment bays.
XoXoXoXoX
Starfire walked to her new compartment bay. It was cold, dark and gray. She let out a soft sigh as she entered. 'This is home now.' There was a large desk and what looked to be an oversized cot. It almost looked like human sleeping quarters. She raised a brow and shook her head. Standing in the doorway was her old friend, Arcee. Starfire turned around and almost jumped out of her metal skin. Arcee simply smiled at her. "Primus, Arcee! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
Arcee laughed and ran over and gave Star a hug. "Was being stuck with Sunny that bad of an experience?" She laughed again. "You know Star…he is quite cute and he won't shut up about you."
Starfire shook her head and laughed. "Did he send you in here…?" Arcee just stared at her then began to laugh. Sunstreaker actually sent Arcee to talk to her about him. Wow. Sunny must have had it bad for Starfire. To be honest, Star was a bit taken aback … Sunny had never acted like this to anyone. Sunstreaker never had an intimate relationship with another bot, at least none that Starfire knew of. He was always so full of himself. It was weird to see care for anyone…he didn't even show his brother much love.
"He really likes you. Which is kind of awe-inspiring to all of us…you know how he is." Again, Star could only shake her head. She walked over to the door of her compartment bay and shut it. She turned back to Arcee. "He's cute, Arcee. But I'm not sure about him."
"Well, he's going to be after you now, so watch out." Arcee laughed and sat down on the large cot and crossed her legs. "Skids, Mudflap, 'Hide, and everyone else is waiting to see you. We all missed you." Star smiled at her. Star missed everyone too. It was tough being away from everyone, they were the only family that she has now. "I've missed you guys to…let's go."
Star and Arcee made their way out to where everyone was hanging out. Starfire saw Ironhide training some of the new recruits and Ratchet was standing up, incase anything went wrong. Skids and Mudflap were arguing with each other…typical. Sideswipe waved Starfire and Arcee followed. "Hello ladies."
"Hi Sides." Both of the femmes answered simultaneously. Sunstreaker looked at Starfire up and down … checking her out. He looked like one of those humans that would stare at a beautiful woman and then lick his lips. Disgusting. "How have you been Star?"
"Eh, I've been alright. Your brother and Wheeljack were a handful, but I've been through worse." Starfire gave Sunny a condescending smile. Sunstreaker just stared at her, with a dirty look on his face. Sideswipe looked at Sunny and laughed. "I'm not surprised…"
"Hey Star…why don't we get out of here and talk for a bit." Star looked at Sunstreaker and cocked a brow. Talk? Why in the hell did he want to talk? "What do you want to talk about Sunny?" Sunstreaker took a few steps toward Star and put his arm around her shoulder. He started to walk away and Star had no choice but go with him. Arcee turned back to Sideswipe and shrugged her shoulders.
"Well I thought we could talk about us…"
"Oh? What about us?" This was intriguing. Sunstreaker was trying to put the moves on her. Star wanted to have a little bit of fun while she was on earth, since this was going to be her new home but she was still unsure about Sunstreaker. After he warmed up to her on Cybertron's moon, she felt that there may be a connection between the two of them. Star still thought he was an arrogant ass though.
"Umm…well I think you're really special and you know how I am with the other bots. I'm very…reserved." Star looked at him, as they continued to walk outside of the hangar. Reserved? Is that what he wanted to call it? "I know I come off as a jerk but that's just who I am, ya know?" Starfire shook her head; she didn't know what to say to him. His voice was rough but he sounded so genuine when he spoke. He was actually opening up for once. This was definitely a side Starfire had never seen. To be honest, no one had probably ever seen this side of Sunny…not even Sideswipe. "So … what to say? You wanna be my lady?" Star stopped and stared at Sunstreaker.
"Whoa, Sunny, umm…why don't we take this slowly and see where it takes us…" Sunstreaker was hesitant in answering but after a few moments he nodded his approval. Star didn't want Sunny to feel like she was rejecting him because she wasn't. She just needed time to think things through. There were a lot of bots on earth and Starfire didn't want to grab one right of the bat …she wanted to fully check out her options.
"Starfire…may I see you please?" Starfire and Sunny both turned around to see Optimus standing near the entrance to the main hangar. "Of course, sir." Star's optics met Sunny's and she smiled up at him. He nodded and walked off, meeting back up with Sideswipe and Arcee.
Starfire walked over to Optimus and looked up at his great form. "I'd like you to meet up with Bumblebee at his address. I'd like you to look after Sam's girlfriend, Mikaela Banes. Sam is being tracked by the Decepticons and I fear that they might try and kidnap Mikaela for information on Sam's whereabouts." Starfire nodded and transformed into the red Jaguar XKR. She put the address into her GPS and drove off…looking for her assignment.
