AN: Hola! Sorry it took so long. Also this chapter and the first one aren't Betaed, so I'm sorry for any mistakes. Oh and Sam's eyes are HAZEL not whatever color I was saying in chapter 1.

This fic is dedicated to RedStarBloom, the author that inspired me to write this.

'Thinking'

"Talking"

"Cybertronian"

After Ratchet released Sam from the Ark's Med-Bay, the angry and upset teen marched his way to his room. The 'Bots that came across him wisely stayed out of his path and did not try to engage him in any conversation. Word had spread quickly about what happened in the Rec-Room and what was revealed to Sam in the Med-Bay. It also helped that Prowl announced on the public comm link, that Sam was not to be bothered.

By the time Sam keyed in his password to his room and entered, it was already 8:00pm. The door closed quietly behind him and the 17 year old stripped down to his boxers and flopped down onto his bed, letting the tension from early drain from his body. Staring at the green ceiling his was allowed to paint, Sam reviewed what Ratchet and Optimus told him about this 'bond' to them.

First, he had a weird alien energy in him that made the mechs so touchy feely. That he didn't mind so much, he became use to it over the year he has known the Autobot's, but going as far as the Twins did? No, he could not accept that just yet, maybe in few months time, but not now.

'No wonder Bluestreak is so jittery around me.'

Second, Optimus said that there is only one possible conclusion. When prompted by Sam to explain, Optimus kind of locked up and Ratchet took over and explained that what they think the teen was experiencing was a Spark Bond. Not much is known about it and the only known information is from what is said in legends and myths unfortunately. Ratchet said that he would look it up in his medical records and see if he could find anything else.

'Unfortunately for me, that means that I have the honor of finding out myself what exactly this Spark Bond can do. If communicating mentally is part of it, I do not want to find out what some of them are thinking especially if it's regarding me.'

Third, if the Decepticon's found out, how would it affect them? Would they coddle him like the Autobot's do? Or would they treat him like a sex slave and experiment on him? Prime and the rest of the 'Bots could only protect him to a certain extent. When Sam voiced his concern on this, Ratchet said he had an idea to make sure the teen was always protected. What the idea was, the medic only said he would find out on Monday.

'I have a bad feeling about Ratchet's idea.'

The final thing that was brought up, what was he going to tell his parents? Sam just could not waltz up to his parents while they were home and say that he was basically a sex toy for the Autobot's. It was funny to watch Optimus start stuttering and Ratchet laugh when he said that though. After they calmed down, the Prime said he would have to talk to Prowl about it.

'I don't think it would matter what either I have to say or Optimus, my mom's bat will come out.'

Before he had left the Med-Bay, Ratchet wanted Sam to come back tomorrow so he could go over with Sam on how to handle the other 'Bots and also what he found in his medical records.

Shifting over, the blue glow from the alarm clock washed over him. The numbers seemed to taunt him telling the teen it was 2:23am. With a growl, Sam crawled out of bed, put on his clothes he threw off early and slipped outside into the orange hallway.

'Why is the whole Ark orange anyways? Isn't it easier for the Decepticon's to spot them? Ok, I definitely need sleep.'

He heard from Ironhide when he was in the Rec-Room that Will was arriving soon. The hazel eyed boy was thankful that he did not encounter anybody on his trek across the Ark to Will's room. Why the man was on the other side of the space ship, Sam had no clue.

He needed someone to talk to about all that's happened and Sam knew that Will was that person.

Sam was few paces away from Will's door when he heard heavy foot steps rounding the corner at the end of the hall. Thinking fast and thanking Primus that the Major did not have his door locked, the teen slipped inside the room.

Will gave Sam a startled look, but the 17 year old gave no indication he noticed and pressed his ear to the door. Curious now, Will got up from his chair at his desk and positioned himself next to Sam. Before the Major could ask the teen what he was up to, Sam waved his hand for silence and motioned for the man to listen.

The footsteps stopped in front of Will's room and the two human's pressed closer to the door to listen in.

"Why are Sunstreaker and Sideswipe in the brig again?" There was a moment's pause before a second voice answered.

"Those two scrap heaps decided to the pit with the rules regarding Sam and tried to molest him…in front of Ironhide in fact."

A third voice piped in. "Wow, I can't believe that those two have the bolts to do that with Ironhide right there."

Even though the voices started to fade as the three moved down the hall, Sam and Will were able to hear the first mech's voice. "Well, we won't have to worry about them bugging Sam for the weekend at least."

Stepping away from his door the Major gave a teen a, 'You better tell me now or suffer the consequence's' look. Sam just laughed hollowly at that while he let his body slide down the door. Once on the floor, the teen buried his head into his raised knees.

With a concerned look, Will sat down next to the now shaking teen and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. The next ten minutes was filled with Will comforting Sam and telling him everything will be alright, even though he had no idea what was wrong.

Sam's shaking finally stopped and he lifted his head to give Will a watery smile. The Major returned the smile and helped the pale teen to his bed. Once settled, Sam started to speak.

"I don't know what to do Will. They expect me to just dive head first into this, without knowing anything. I don't think I can handle it, especially if the Autobot's act the way Sunstreaker and Sideswipe did!" With a hand over his mouth, the rest of Sam's rant was halted.

"Hold up, start from the beginning ya?" A sheepish smile was flashed and Sam started from the where he first entered the Rec-Room yesterday afternoon. As the story was being told, Will could barely hold onto his anger. They kept this from Sam for how long and expect him to just accept is? Don't they see how much this is scaring the teen?

At the end of Sam recounting the events that happened yesterday, the Major was practically vibrating in barely suppressed rage.

"Sam."

Hazel eyes locked onto hazel.

"Yes?"

"We are going to have a little talk with a few certain Bot's later today okay?" Sam nodded and was glad that he went to Will with this. He wasn't sure he would have been able to handle it himself. "You're going to be sleeping in here from now on okay?" On second thought, maybe telling a trigger-happy soldier that can rival Ironhide wasn't such a good idea.

AN: I hope that I answered everybody's questions in this chapter. I have no clue when the third chapter is going to be up though and I'm sorry for that.

Love me please?
