Just visiting 15
"No, no, no, no, NO!"
Optimus looked up as the door of his office swung open and a familiar figure slid in. He looked like a fusion between Megatron and himself. Smooth and sharp parts took turns but there was a face, similar to his own he had a mouth and a nose. And also blue antennas. Where his former human hands were, were now silver claws. Megatron did the weapons system so that he was properly equipped. He could also transform a fusion-cannon from his right arm.
On the whole, however, he possessed his own unique charisma. A charisma that could charm a lot of Cybertronians. He was often hectic, but still lovable.
Sam Witwicky, former human, was now a Cybertronian named Spark Binder. Known as the son of Megatron and Optimus but of course it was only half the truth. The whole story knew only the three of them. And that would probably remain so for quite a while.
"Hide me!" said Spark Binder and scurried over to Optimus, who sat at a table and read over some datapads. Before he could answer to the strange statement Spark Binder took his arm and hauled him to his feet. Then he crawled into the hole that was actually intended for Optimus legs.
The Prime stared a little confused at his son, who made wild hand movements to his chair. Not knowing what to do Optimus sighed and sat down again before looking at Spark Binder, who put a finger to his lip components.
"BOY!"
Megatron stormed in next. Red eyes searched the room and when they found nothing, the burning gaze was glued to Optimus.
"Where is he?"
"Who?", asked Optimus calmly and took another datapad. His brother growled.
"You know exactly who I mean! Where's the boy?"
Optimus pointed with his right hand in the same direction. There was a door that would lead down into the building. Jazz quarters were there and when you go further down, there would be another exit.
"Besides, his name is Spark Binder. Good luck."
For a few moments Megatron was still standing in the room. His optics became darker, as if he would consider his options. Finally, his logic seemed to say that this might be the only right way and he disappeared through door, cursing.
"Is he gone?" whispered Spark Binder. His blue eyes flashed from the darkness of the metal table.
"Yes. And how do you even fit down there?" asked Optimus somewhat amused when he stood up and allowed a moaning Spark Binder to escape the narrow space. "After all, you're almost as big as me."
Something creaked horribly loud, so that Optimus flinched. It had been one of Spark Binders joints.
"That's the exercise" said Spark Binder and attempted a smile but it seemed a bit forced.
"So, how often were you under my table?"
Spark Binder laughed. "That's the first time, I swear, but there are similar places around here, you know?"
Optimus' face began to look worried. Had his son to hide because of something or someone? Was something wrong?
"Why are you running away from Megatron?"
Spark Binder sighed and leaned against the metal table. His optics looked to the ground.
"He said, I should fight against Blackout ..."
"And that's a problem?" Optimus knew that Blackout was a strong opponent. He found it amazing anyway that Sam dared to compete against him.
"Nope. That's not it. When I must compete against Blackout he is ... polite? He didn't strike too hard and allows me some good punches. He's like this big, grumpy uncle with a big heart ... Spark, whatever."
Optimus smiled. Megatron had once been terribly upset about the fact that Blackout adored his son.
"The only problem was ... this time Megatron saw it."
"And he was not pleased?"
"That's an understatement. He yelled at Blackout, that it would be pointless to deal so lenient with me and if he didn't want to do as he wishes, then I have to fight against Megatron."
Optimus put his face in his hands and sighed. That was so typical of Megatron that he couldn't think of possible words to reply.
"And then you ran away."
"I'm not suicidal! Have you seen what he has done recently at the shooting range?"
"I know ... the reports."
"Well, then you already know how I don't wanna end."
Optimus doubted that Megatron would do that to their Spark Binder but one could never knew how much of his fighting spirit would come out in a real fight. And sometimes Megatron was just a failure in holding back. So maybe it was good that Spark Binder could run very, very fast.
Optimus wanted to question further what the hidden meaning of the hide and seek game was (Why did he hide that often?) but before he could ask the question, a door opened.
"Optimus, if you ..." said Megatron and stopped, while he began to stare at Spark Binder, who was still leaning on the table. When Spark Binder turned around to run as fast as his new foot would carry him out the other door, Megatron bared his teeth and continued to go after him.
But not without shouting "Where did he hide?" to Optimus. The Prime shook his head and turned back to work. Not that he would be surprised by such scenes. They were, to put it simply, life.
Spark Binder slowly but surely began to run out of ideas, where he should hide. After all, he couldn't quickly flee from the city or move in with strangers. Finally, he decided to try out his last resort. Megatron was hot on his heels, but perhaps far enough away that he didn't recognize his route.
He took the road to the science departments.
As he passed the guard of the huge building, he only greeted him with a smile before he disappeared into the large white hall with many doors. The road was easy. Just go straight and you come to the best working place that existed here. He ran as fast as he could, the door opened and he ran into the room.
Something chirped and Spark Binder couldn't look fast enough when something jumped on his face and took him out of balance. He slammed into an object, then fell on his back and gasped. His vision was blocked by a small body.
"Nice, Starlight. You have defeated him with only one blow", said Starscream and sounded a little too complacent.
The small Sparkling chirped proudly and began to gnaw at Spark Binders antenna. Spark Binder groaned annoyed. Since he helped this small pest, because he had to play explorer and then could not find back home, he was the personal hero of the Sparkling of Mistfire and Starscream.
"Don't be so rude, `light" said Mistfire, squatted down and tried to free Spark Binders face of Starlight. That turned out to be a challenge because the little one held on tight and began wailing.
Spark Binder sat up and then took the situation into his own hands.
"All right, Starlight ... You can stay with me, okay? But would you go of my face? You know, it's very difficult to look with you hanging there."
He mumbled into the body of Sparkling, who thought about it but then let go. Spark Binder caught him and set him in his arm where Starlight cuddled himself in a comfortable position and an elongated tone sounded in the lab, which almost sounded like a yawn.
Starscream smiled in a mocking way and then stomped back to Skyfire, who waved at Spark Binder briefly, but then went back to work.
Spark Binder knew that Starscream didn't like him for whatever reason. Since he had saved his sparkling, he showed a behavior that bordered on the half-hatred.
Mistfire seemed to have observed how he was looking after Starscream because he laid a calming hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry. That's just his way."
"To show me how much he hates me?" asked Spark Binder unimpressed.
But Mistfire actually chuckled and winked at him.
"No, he thinks you're the future partner of Starlight. He doesn't know what to do because our little Starlight has chosen his mate already. So he is angry at you, me and the world!"
"What?" asked Spark Binder perplexed. "But I ..."
"Is Starlight not good enough for you?" asked Mistfire with a serious expression, which brought Spark Binder system to overheat because of the embarrassment. That wasn't planed! Not planed at all! What should he do? Was this some kind of joke?
"No! I didn't mean it like that! He is great! I, uh, so ..."
"Oh, well then it is definitely decided" said Mistfire with a tone that stalled any further discussions. Spark Binder smiled nervously. Why was it always him, who ran into situations like this?
"BOY!" Someone yelled and Spark Binder had already an idea who that was. Starscream stared suddenly back in his direction, a glimmer of something unknown in his optics.
"BOY! Where are you?"
Mistfire scratched his helmet, while Starlight held a nap in his elbow despite the noise.
"What does that mean, ,Boy'? I don't know the word. Is it our language anyway?"
Spark Binder thought feverishly how he could undo these damned error of Megatron. Was he crazy or something to shout his English nickname in all directions? They would get caught!
"Uh ... That ... That's my nickname! That means youngling ... eh … Megatron liked the language so much!"
Mistfire nodded. "I did not know that he is looking for you. Were you hiding here?"
Before Spark Binder could answer, Starscream took the Sparkling out of his arms and laid him in Mistfires hands. Of course Starlight didn't particularly like it and started to scream. Starscream hissed something to the little Seeker but then he was very quiet and warmed himself at Mistfires Spark.
Starscream grabbed the shoulder of Spark Binder and started to push him towards the door. The two others in the room looked at the spectacle rather confused.
"What is this, Starscream?" asked Spark Binder and tried to free him. They were just before the door, when Starscream bend over to his antenna, to whisper something in his audio receptors.
"Thank you, boy."
In English.
Then he pushed him out of the door into the hallway. Spark Binder staggered out and saw the optics of other, while the door closed in his face. He could not exactly say that he understood why he was thanked. Had he done something that had gone to Starscreams favor? As much as he tried, his memory chips didn't save anything important.
"There you are, boy" growled someone behind him and in next moment he was thrown over the shoulder of Megatron, who carried him out of the building.
"Put me down! It's not fair!"
"Did you expect anything else?" asked Megatron, grinning. A few Cybertronians looked at them in interest and others were laughing when he was carried away.
"This is so embarrassing" murmured Spark Binder. "Come on, you cannot do that to me! What if someone is filming? Or it will re-told on some party? I will be the joke of the century!"
"Your own fault. Did you think you can escape me? Was there a time I didn't found you?"
Spark Binder pouted.
They passed through the front door again where the guard threw them an amused glance.
Spark Binder sighed and then tried to look into the sky, which was studded with stars.
Suddenly he was terribly homesick. But he didn't mean his home here. For this was now his home. No, it was the earth, which made him sometimes sad. His parents and Mikaela. Miles. He missed everything there so much. Frequently he had toyed with the idea to visit the earth, but he repeatedly abandoned it. What would be the point? Now he had another life.
"You're so quiet. What's going on in that processor of yours?" English. He spoke only English to him if he was very worried or extremely outraged.
"You know, I have to take Starlight as a partner when he is older."
"Starscream insists?"
"You…could say that." Megatron rumbled amused.
"But that's not the reason why you're worried, right?" asked Megatron after some minutes and took Spark Binder from his shoulder and put him on the ground. "What is it then?"
"I ... I want to visit someone" said Spark Binder and wanted to look down, but Megatron's claw under his chin forced him to look upward again.
"On earth?"
At first Spark Binder wanted to say yes and Megatron looked as if he knew that exactly but there was actually still someone he wanted to see as much.
"Bumblebee… I want to visit Bumblebee…"
Yes, Bumblebee! We can't forget about our favorite yellow Camaro;)
