Chapter Two: Who is that?
Sam glared at the leader of the Autobots. "What'd you mean, 'He's out for a drive?' Bee's been gone for a week now!" Ratchet smiled at the boy's ignorance.
"Sam, Bumblebee wanted some time to himself. So I granted him a four week period of time where he could do as he pleased." Optimus said, turning his back on Sam to pick up one of the many weapons that Ironhide had been working on for the last little while.
"Optimus! I need Bee; he's my only ride! Pops wouldn't buy another car after what happened with you guys." Sam said jumping off the stairs to the computer station and wandering after the Autobot.
"Boss," Optimus looked up to see the twins teetering towards him. "We just got word that the human you had us watching has been moved. A family picked the girl." Sam's brow furrowed in confusion.
"What girl?"
"Abbi," one of the twins, Skids, grinned, his golden tooth whistling as he said the girl's name. "Abbi Tims."
"Who's that, Optimus?" Sam asked looking up at him. The Prime shrugged and looked down at the boy then back at the twins. "Optimus, who is that? Why is she important?" Optimus shook his head and blinked his optics hidden for a fraction of a second.
"Abbi?" Ironhide and Ratchet both looked up, "Are you talking about Abbi…Steelstrike?" Ratchet looked at the depression and pain that clearly showed on Optimus' face. Glancing back at Ironhide, Ratchet put down the tools and things he was using to attach several of the new weapons onto Ironhide, before walking to the side of the leader.
"Optimus, we're very sorry. We could have stopped it if you wanted us to." Skids said a slight frown on his face plates.
"Yeah, we could of." Mudflap chimed in. Both twins were confused as to why this new information was hurting Optimus so much. Ironhide tapped the twins' shoulders, "His little girl." They nodded remembering the story about little Steelstrike.
"Who is this girl?" Sam yelled, startling everyone present. "Who is Steelstrike and Abbi?"
"Sam," Ratchet said about to tell Sam that it didn't matter and that he should drop the subject when Optimus interrupted.
"Sam, when I was still on Cybertron and the hatchlings were still being made I had the opportunity to choose one with an old friend of mine. Nitrofrost and I were very close having been trained and worked together as partners and team mates. When we chose the hatchling, I wanted one that I could raise as my own, to carry on the Prime name, since I am the last of the Primes." He turned to look at Sam and the others. They were all staring in shock at Optimus. He hadn't talked about Steelstrike or Nitrofrost since before leaving Cybertron. Sam nodded and motioned with his hand for Optimus to continue.
"Steelstrike was the most perfect little hatchling I had ever seen. She was small, but fast and she learned fast too. Steel was as sweet as could be. I taught her everything and so did Nitrofrost. However there was an unseen for problem that occurred. Nitrofrost was an Autobot, but Megatron changed her." He sighed, his shoulders sinking a little. "Nitrfrost told Megatron about Steelstrike. When I first heard about Nitrofrost's betrayal I tried my best to hide Steelstrike from the Decepticons, but they found her no matter what I did."
"Megatron soon lost all interest in her and focused on Earth. Steelstrike was confused at why her mother had left her. So I had to tell her about everything. Steel wanted nothing more than to kill Megatron and Nitrofrost for all her pains. She tried to follow Megatron when he left for Earth. But I stopped her. I don't think she ever forgave me for that." Optimus sat down on the Semi truck that the others used every now and then for sitting on. "When we came to Earth there was no one there on Cybertron to stop Steel from coming. I found her as soon as she hit the planet and commanded her to leave at once. But being the stubborn thing she is she wouldn't leave. She stayed here on Earth but as a human. I've followed her every move. And now she has been adopted by a family. It will be hard to keep track of her than before."
Sam sat in thought, frowning. 'So Optimus has a daughter. I wonder what she is like.' He looked over at Optimus who seemed to be really upset about a lot of things. He's face plates were contorted into a blank look of pure pain.
"Hey umm… Boss," Mudflap asked. "Do you want us to go out and get Bee? I think he's with the girl."
"No!" barked Optimus. "If he is with Abbi, then she will be safe!"
