A New Hope

"Your welcome little lady." Jazz smiled making Jade smile a little more.

"Jade, mind if I ask what you were doing in that dirty alleyway in the first place?" Ironhide asked kindly.

Jade didn't answer, she looked down at the floor and felt tears run down her cheeks, the black mech was rather confused, why was the girl crying?

"Jade you alright?" Jazz asked.

"Yeah I'm fine...well I should be going." the sixteen year old replied hastily.

Jazz helped her down and she smiled at the two mechs before walking out the base, it was helpful that the exit was right opposite the medical bay.

Ironhide couldn't help but feel bad that he made Jade cry, it was a complete accident.

To make things right he decided to find her and apologise.

Walking out the base he used his senses to find the Magic. It was a shock to him where she was found.

In a back alley outside Typer Pax, that was covered in mud and sewage, Jade was there, sleeping inside a rotten cardboard box that was falling apart all over, her bed was her hoodie, and the only company was a cuddly toy rabbit that was black from the dirt.

Ironhide knew he couldn't leave her in that horrible place, walking over he gently picked the sixteen year old up with his left hand and picked the rabbit up in his right hand.

Then he walked quietly back to the Autobot base.

Jade woke up feeling warm and comfortable than she had felt in her whole life, feeling scared and confused she opened her eyes.

She was lying in a warm bed on the left side of the room, next to her bed there was a huge window, the floor had a warm black carpet and the walls were white, the room was rather bare, like a spare room that hadn't been used in a while but was well kept, where was she?

Just then the door opened and Ironhide came in with her toy rabbit that was white as it had been cleaned.

The sixteen year old smiled a little, she took the toy off him. "Thank you." she whispered.

"Your welcome." Ironhide replied and gently gave her a small hug,

Jade (for the first time in thirteen years) felt like she was loved again.
