It was after midnight now and the storm had mostly passed but according to the weather there was another coming. It was just one of those nights. Ironhide sat by the sleeping sparkling and was reading through a few reports as he sat by her to try and get some work done.

Ratchet came over and did a few small check-ups to make sure she was all good. He noticed though her com and bond links were disabled and knew it must have been from the weather and her injuries.

"I'll have to fix her links when she comes online. It will be safer and easier" Ratchet said.

"No worries. I just hope she doesn't get scared when she wakes" Ironhide said looking up from his work.

"I have a feeling she will be scared but we will just have to be slow and take it easy with her" Ratchet said.

"Don't worry it will be alright" Ironhide smiled before looking back at his work.

"I'll be right back" Ratchet said leaving the room, Ironhide gave him a nod and went back to the reports in his hands.

He stood up and went over to get a small cube of energon from the table and sipped at it slowly. He looked out the window as the second storm was approaching and listen to the thunders from it. He took another sip at the energon before hearing a small moan from the sparkling.

He turned around quickly and looked at the sparkling as she moved slowly and was starting to come online. He knew he had to be slow with her since she was going to be scared of him. He placed his energon down and moved closer to the sparkling slowly and kept quiet.

Pebbles online her optics and tried to focus her optics as well. Something was different. She felt a warm blanket over her and a pillow on her head but when she turned her head she saw she was on a table. Her head hurt a little and her arm looked like it was fixed up by someone and she looked at it confused. She sat up slowly and she knew this place was different, she didn't know where she was. She let out a small shiver feeling scared and alone, she tried to reach her father in there bond but still nothing.

"Look who's awake" Ironhide's voice whispered.

Pebble's herd the voice and slowly turned around to see the strange red bot. The first thing she noticed was his autobot badge and she started to shiver and let out a small whimper.

"Shhh I'm not going to hurt ya sweetie" He said stepping back as he saw her whimper "It's alright" He smiled.

Pebbles didn't listen or trust the autobot. She was silent and crawled back slowly trying to get away from the autobot but knew she had no idea where she was and how she got here either. Ironhide kept his distance and slowly pulled out a chair next to him and sat down.

"Ya name is Pebble's right?" He asked.

Once again Pebbles didn't answer and cuddled herself. She was at the end of the table now with nowhere to go. Small tears rolled down her face and made small sniffs staring at the autobot.

"Sweetie I'm not going to harm you. I understand your scared and ya probably wondering how ya got here. Well we don't know what happen to ya but we found ya injured near the beach. Our medic fixed ya up when we bought ya back here and when he comes back he will do one more check-up" Ironhide smiled.

Pebbles looked away from him and let out a small sob making Ironhide feel bad.

He sighed.

"Hey Ironhide do you know-"

"Shhh she's awake now" Ironhide said.

When Pebble's saw the other autobot walk in she crawled back more but this time she fell off the table and onto the ground. She hit hard but didn't care and right away bolted up and ran under another table to try and get away. Ironhide and Ratchet tried to calm her down.

"Hey hey hey it's alright" Ratchet said kneeling down next to the table and looking under to see the frighten sparkling.

Again Pebble's ran away and almost ran into Ironhide's leg but avoided him and into the corner of the room where there were a few shelves. Without thinking she climbed onto one and curled up. Ratchet walked over making the sparkling whimper more but Ironhide held him back.

"Let's leave her for now. She's just scared" He said. Ratchet nodded his head and the two took a step back to give the sparkling some room. Ironhide contacted Optimus to let him know.

'Prime she's awake now. Not going to well she's really scared'

'Thank you for letting me know, I won't come because she will be more scared if she sees more autobots'

'Understood Prime, I will stay with her though so I can watch her'

'Please do and thank you'

The com ended and Ironhide looked at the scared sparkling whimpering softly and had her face beared in her arms.

"Ratchet it's pretty late now. Why don't you get some recharge? I'll stay in here for the night with her" Ironhdie said.

"Good idea. Com me if you need any help" Ratchet smiled and walked out the room.

Ironhide slowly walked closer to the sparkling trying not to scare her and pulled out a chair to sit in front of her.

"Hey" He whispered to her.

Pebble's sniffed a few times before looking up slowly and at the strange autobot smiling at her. She looked away with fear and cuddled her knees to her chest.

"I understand your scared Pebble's but we are not going to hurt you at all. Were just trying to help" He said.

The thunder in the distance was coming closer and Pebbles looked out the window with a small jump as she heard it. She didn't like storms after tonight she had never heard them before and they scared her now. It just wasn't her night tonight.

"Do ya remember anything?" He asked.

Pebble's only shook her head. She didn't want to tell him what happen.

"In the morning when the storm passes we will contact ya father and let him know you're here and he can come and pick ya up, alright?" Ironhide said.

Pebble's looked up at him before nodding her head softly.

"Ok" He smiled at her.

Loud thunder and lightning was close to the base and Pebble's made a small squeak at the loud noise.

"It's alright sweetie it's only a storm and it can't harm ya in here" Ironhide said.

The thunder became louder now and the power flickered off and on for a moment. Pebble's almost screamed and without thinking she jumped up and onto Ironhide's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. Ironhide was taken aback by her action but soon stroked her back and helm gently hushing her and felt her nuzzle her face into his neck and hold onto his tighter as another thunder was herd. He smiled. Oh it felt great to hold a sparkling again and he didn't want to let go.

"Shh it's alright girl. I'm here. Nothing can harm ya" He said as he stood up and moved away from the window and to the other side of the room.

Pebble's was still afraid of him but at the moment she needed something to hold her and make her feel better. At the moment the autobot was doing what she wanted and she just held onto him nuzzling into him.

This storm was getting pretty bad and he thought maybe going to his quarters would make her feel better where to noise would be much quieter. He would contact Ratchet and Optimus after, right now Pebble's wanted some rest or even better some sleep.

He started to walk out of the room and noticed Pebble's didn't notice they were leaving as she hangs onto him. He walked down the hall and towards his quarters and as soon as he stood in front of his room the power went out for a moment before coming back on. He went to open his door but saw it was stuck.

"Slag must have been the storm" He thought to himself.

He thought for a moment and knew everyone would be recharging now so he thought the rec room would be alright for the night. He knew he wasn't going to get any sleep tonight but he didn't care.

Pebble's sniffed on his shoulder a little and he rubbed her back to comfort her.

"It's alright sweetie get some rest you've had a big night" Ironhide smiled and walked towards the rec room for the night. He would look through his reports while holding the sparkling for the night. That was the best he could do. He had hoped that by morning that the sparkling would be alright and maybe will talk about what happen. The sooner she could the quicker Optimus will contact the decepticons.

Autobot base morning time

Jazz let out a stretch as walked down the hall and towards to rec room. What a night. Two storms and the second one was the worst and it did some damage around the base and in some of the cities close by. So the autobots had some work to do today and help around to clean up.

Jazz entered the rec room and looked to his left to see Ironhide sitting on the lounge chair snoring softly. He noticed that the sparkling was curled up in her arm and shoulder recharging softly as well. Jazz couldn't help but smile and quietly walked over to them and tapped Ironhide on the shoulder.

"Hey Hide, wake up" He whispered trying not to wake the sparkling.

Ironhide online his optics and looked around before it had hit him that he had fallen asleep.

"Ah slag I fell into recharge" He said.

"Why are you not in your room?"

"My door got stuck from the storm and this was the only place I could think of away from a window"

"It's alright you two had a big night" Jazz smiled.

Ironhide looked at the sleeping sparkling and smiled as he slowly lifted her up a little to support her in his arm. She didn't move or make a sound. She chest was only rising up and down slowly.

"Wow so is she starting to like you now?" Jazz asked.

"Well no not really. She is still scared but when the storms happen she just jumped into my lap and didn't let out of me. I guess she wanted someone to comfort her because she is afraid of storms" Ironhide said.

"She looks so sweet" Jazz smiled.

"She is" He smiled "I should go back to the medic bay before Ratchet throws a fit" Ironhide chuckled softly.

"Good idea" Jazz said.

He stood up and held the sparkling as her head laid on his shoulder and felt her nuzzle into his softly. He walked towards to medic bay and Jazz followed him not wanting to miss a thing. It was still early so not many of the autobot's will be walking around.

Ironhide and Jazz entered the medic bay and saw the annoyed look from Ratchet.

"Where were you?" Ratchet asked.

"She got scared from the storm so I went to go to my quarters for the night but my door got stuck from the storm so I spent the night in the rec room" Ironhide explained.

Ratchet smiled as he saw the sparkling sleeping in his arms. Ironhide was a big softly with sparkling.

"So she's alright now?" He asked.

"For now, but don't expect her to be happy when she wakes up"

All the autobots could do was wait until she wakes up.


Sorry for spelling mistakes :/ Next chapter Pebble's wakes up but how does it go? Will she see these autobots are nice? Will she make some new friends? Have to wait and find out. Please review.
