CHAPTER-3: NURSE

Optimus, Bulkhead and Bumblebee all ran through the ground bridge as quickly as they could, with Bumblebee falling behind slightly although the others didn't seem to notice. At that minute they only had one though on there processors. "Raf!" .

Walking into the base the group found Raf lying in the med-bay with Ratchet standing over him running a series of scans and tests and stood next to him was a dark haired human woman, a quick genetic scan told them she was a relative of Jack's. And behind them Arcee was rushing about collecting this and that, or doing whatever the other two told her to do.

"Ratchet. How is Rafael?" Optimus's strong voice questioned as they entered the med-bay.

"His condition is stable for now. But only time will tell. I just wish I had learned more about human biology, then maybe I would know better what to do." The medic replied bowing his helm, saddened at his own lack of knowledge.

"Do not fret, old friend. He is in good hands." The prime reassured.

Bumblebee had retreated into his own processor, he could still hear the voices of the other Autobots and humans around him, but he couldn't make out a word they where saying. He just stood there in silence as he watched them work. He felt utterly sick to the point that he could purge his tanks at any moment. Looking down at the boy in front of him Bumblebee's guilt tormented him.

It was his fault that Raf was hurt. If he hadn't been out in that canyon with the boy, Megatron would never have found them. If he hadn't been so determined to take Raf racing and show off to the human, this never would have happened. Sighing Bee dropped his helm heavily into his servo's and only lifting it again when he heard Ratchet say that he needed energon.

"I'll do it." Bee exclaimed in his usual beeps and buzzes.

"Bumblebee. Are you sure?" Optimus questioned with a concerned glance, but the Camero just nodded determinedly.

"All right. Take a seat on the berth and hurry." Ratchet ordered and Bumblebee did as he was told.

Ratchet walked over to the yellow mech, carrying a device attacked to a clear glass cylinder. Placing the end of a tube attached to the vice to Bumblebee's upper arm, the medic began to pump out some of Bee's energon into the cylinder. The Camero winced slightly at the discomfort, but refused to draw attention to it. "The only thing matters is Raf." Bee thought constantly.

A few moments later, when the device was full, the medic disconnected it from Bumblebee and carried it over to nurse Darby, who was standing at Raf's side, monitoring his vitals.

"Where ready." Ratchet informed the dark haired woman.

"Good. Lets hook this up and pray for a positive result." She replied.

A few earth hours had past since Ratchet and nurse Darby first used Bumblebee's energon to counter the effects of the dark energon poisoning on Raf. In that time Ratchet had taken more of Bee's energon, after Raf's vitals had improved after the first dosage. And now both the Autobot medic and the human nurse were sure that all the dark energon was gone from the boy's body, all they had to do now was sit and wait for him to wake up.

"Ratchet, any difference?" Asked Arcee hopefully but the medic just shook his head.

"Nothing as of yet." Ratchet replied. Suddenly there was a beeping sound from the med-bay that cut through the silence and nurse Darby came rushing over to them.

"He's waking up!" The she exclaimed and all the team rushed to the pedes and into the med-bay.

Bumblebee stood at the end of the berth as he watched Raf's eyes slowly begin to flicker open. Next to him stood the rest of the Autobots and humans, Ratchet and nurse Darby still running scans and checking equipment.

The first thing for Raf's eyes to focus on was a brilliant shade of yellow and then the concerned looking face of his Cybertronion guardian.

"Hey bumblebee." Raf said sleepily smiling at the Camero.

"His vitals are normal and his condition is stable. I will take him to A&E first thing in the morning just for a quick check, and then he'll be free to go." Nurse Darby informed, a smile of satisfaction plastered on her face as she looked down at Raf who had fallen back to sleep. "Now I suggest you all also get some rest, it's been a long day." She added in a mothering tone at the Autobots, as well as Miko and Jack.

"Indeed. I believe it may be wise for us to retire." Optimus informed his team. "Goodnight everyone." The prime informed in his usual tone before heading to his quarters, soon followed by Arcee and Bulkhead.

"And you too, Mr." June sternly told a reluctant Bumblebee who was still standing a Raf's side. He tried to argue but the look of determination in her eyes forced him to obey, and he soon left for his own chambers.

"You should get some sleep too." Ratchet told the nurse seeing the tired look on her face. "Don't worry I'll stay with him." The medic informed and she agreed walking over to the couch and lying down and soon drifting off.

Ratchet sighed looking around the med-bay and rec-room. Smiling slightly at the sight of nurse Darby sleeping on the couch and Miko and Jack sleeping in sleeping bags by the TV. But the medic's smile suddenly dropped a an irritating feeling hit him. "Hmm? I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting?". The ambulance sighed again knowing that the feeling was most likely to bug him all night.

Ta-da! Finished.
