The plane touched down with out a flaw as Ironhide and one of his security force went to greet it's only passenger. Seymour Simmons got off almost before the plane came to a full stop clutching more equipment than any human should be able to hold at any one time. "are you sure this guy can help us sir, he doesn't look like the type to know much about anything?" asked the security officer, "trust me he can help with our problem, when we first met he was part of a group that captured bumblebee" answered Ironhide as he slowed to meet Simmons. The security officer looked a little stunned at the statement as he said "are you sure that he's safe to have around after doing something like that?" "yes, he's a pain in the aft but he'll he our pain in the aft now" replied Ironhide. Simmons made a wave like gesture as he headed towards Ironhides cargo bed so he could unload some of the equipment he was struggling with. As Simmons unloaded him self the security officer asked "should we tell him about sam now or later when he's to far away to run for it?" Ironhide chuckled slightly as he said "we'll tell him once he can't get away". The cab door opened as Simmons got in and asked "where's the kid, I though he'd be here to greet me and start putting my life in danger". Simmons was stunned by the silence that he received from both the human and Autobot as for a moment he though that he had said something insulting at a funeral. "sam is other wise engaged at the moment mr simmons, so I've come to collect you after all I am the head of security here" said Ironhide as he hoped that Simmons wouldn't push the questions any further until they had put some distance between him and the waiting plane.
Ironhide's luck however wasn't in as Simmons asked "what exactly do you mean and spell out the details for me so I don't miss a thing". The weapon specialist shifted uncomfortably on his shocks as he tried to think of a way to tell Simmons while keeping him from running for the hills. Ironhide started his engine as he drove from the airstrip and started explaining "as you know sam is now an autobot and as you also know he's in the process of bonding to bumblebee, what you don't know is that there has been a slight problem that few autobots encounter during the process". Ironhide paused as he got ready to break the worst of it to Simmons "sam has reached what we call the instability point and it's affecting him slightly..." Simmons didn't like where this was going one bit. After about ten minutes of explaining in which Simmons sat there like he had heard it all before Ironhide concluded his explanation of what was happening to Sam "so you see while he's like this his behavior will be a little off normal and we though it best to have someone else meet you". Simmons let out a small snort worthy of the Autobot he was riding in as he said "in other words you didn't want him to go all psycho on me for that little incident with his boyfriend/bonded, whatever you want to call him while he's not firing on all cylinders". Ironhide simply replied "yes, that's about it", Simmons rested back in the seat he was in as he said "just once I'd like to be able to get with in ten miles of that kid and have nothing try to kill me, just once I mean is that to much to ask for one life time".
"so what should I do if I cross paths with him, I take it you are holding him in some way to keep others safe?" asked Simmons "not exactly" replied Ironhide "he's still free to move about the city as he wants and of course bumblebee is always with him, plus optimus and ratchet are ready to race over to him if bumblebee needs some help in calming him down, we can't really confine him as it may kill both him and bumblebee". Simmons started rubbing his temples as he said "so not only do I have to chase all over the city looking for and disabling s seven tech, I also have to watch out for a heavily armed autobot who's love sick, over protective and may be carrying a grudge towards me for past actions which involved his lover bot and there's nothing nothing stopping him from shooting me except the bot I helped capture". Ironhide was silent as he increased his speed just in case Simmons thought about jumping out and making a run for it. "ok, ok, I've worked under worse in the past and I still have to get rid of all this tech scattered all over the place" Simmons statement was more for him self than the others with him as he steadied his breathing. After about a minute Simmons said "I know that you have eyes on him so you tell me if he's coming anywhere near me and I'll make my self scares until he's gone, if he starts shooting at me even a little I'm out of here s seven tech or not". "agreed" replied Ironhide as he slowed to a more normal pace of travel through the city.
Bee was glad that Sam hadn't taken Ron's comment as a suggestion as he lay once more in Sam's arms and pulled tight against the simulated skin of Sam's Avatar. For the moment Sam was very content as he gently stroked his fingers over Bumblebee's Avatar feeling the soft skin that only belonged to Bee. It was at times like this that Sam was most like his normal self, his world was perfect when Bee was with him and no one was there to take him away. Sam let out a heavy sigh as he felt Bee snuggle deeper into his Avatar a feeling of happiness flowing freely through the link between them, "he's all mine" thought Sam "he wants to belong only to me and no one else, my one and only bumblebee". Sam's thoughts floated back to the day he first met Bee, that hot afternoon that he had dreamt so long about, the day he got his first car. Even then Bumblebee was the only one he wanted on that lot, Sam wondered why he had even bothered about getting excited about other cars none of them were Bee they were just machines, lifeless, soulless machines. In fact now that Sam looked back on the events of that day he wondered how he could have even looked at them let alone thought about wanting one over his Bee. Though his memories told him that he had a deep want for the cars on the Porsche lot he now found them unbelievable ugly lumps of metal that he wanted nothing to do with. Sam shivered slightly at the though that he might have ended up with one of those cars had his dad not been playing a prank on him. No Bee would have never allowed that to happen, he would have found some way to make sure that Sam chose him above the others.
Sam smiled at that the though, Bumblebee would have done anything to be with him even then, as Sam saw things now it was more than just Bumblebee's mission it was something else that had been drawing them together. Some bond that had been formed the day Sam was born a bond that had drawn Bumblebee to earth, to him. As Sam's mind drifted on a sea of memories he looked back at events differently, like before he remembered how he felt at the time but now those feeling seemed so alien to him like they belonged to someone else. He remembered how he had desperately wanted a car to impress Mikaela and how it had been a major driving force in his life for so long. But now it seemed such a waste of time as he had found all he needed the moment he met Bee and there was nothing anyone could offer that Bumblebee could not out do. Another memory floated to the surface as Sam thought about the night he had fist seen Bee transform. It confused Sam to think why he was so frightened of his Bumblebee that night, all he was doing was calling the other Autobots to earth so that they could protect the allspark. It hurt Sam to think that he had acted the way he did towards Bee, the things he had said and done how could Bee have forgiven him so easily about it. A small tear crept out of the corner of Sam's eye as he was saddened by the way he had acted towards the only one that mattered in his life, Sam pulled Bee closer wanting to make up for all that he had said and done that day.
Bee felt Sam's grip tightening on his Avatar and wondered what was wrong, then he started to worry as he felt a deep sadness seeping through their link. "sam what's wrong?" asked Bee as he pulled him self into a sitting position. In a reversal of things Sam laid his head on Bee's lap and started crying slightly as he said "I was so mean to you, I called you satan's camaro and threw things at you". It took Bumblebee a second to work out what Sam was talking about but when he did Bee gently laid a hand on Sam's head as he said "you were seeing an autobot for the first time sam, it's only normal that you were a little afraid of me". "no it's not, your my bumblebee, mine" cried Sam "I'm supposed to protect you not yell at you, not throw things, not run away, but I did". If the others could have seen Sam like this they would have not been frightened by him at all, now all the ferocity was gone and he was far from dangerous towards anyone. "there was a lot you didn't know then sam and if I remember rightly I was supposed to protect you when we first met" said Bee gently as he continued to stroke Sam's head. Sam clutched Bee tightly round the waist as he said "you got hurt protecting me, first you got captured and blasted with jets of that freezing stuff then you got your legs blown off saving me again and there was nothing I could do about it". Sam was crying hard now as some hidden dam of emotion burst forth overwhelming his defenses. "sam you fought harder than anyone could have, when I was captured you took on as many as you could to save me and got your self hurt, then when starscream attacked you refused to leave me despite the danger you were in" replied Bumblebee.
Bee could feel that he had not seen the full flood of Sam's emotions as their link continued to send more of these unspoken feelings to him. Sam was crying harder now as he said "I was useless, I couldn't help you when you were in pain and bleeding all I could do was just sit there and watch" "no sam you killed megatron, that's not nothing" said Bee. "I got lucky, he was wounded and trying to crawl to the allspark, all the time optimus was yelling at me to push the cube into his chest while megatron was screaming at me to give it to him, all I wanted to do was hide away with you, somewhere safe where you could get better, I was a coward bee I didn't want to fight I just wanted to run" sobbed Sam. "but you didn't sam, you choose to stop megatron" replied Bumblebee "no one wants to fight, but we chose to because we know that if we do not those we care about will be hurt". Sam raised his head for a moment then lowered it again as he said "I killed him bee, but it didn't help you, you were still hurt and I was still useless when it came to keeping you safe" Sam's voice was thick and heavy as his tears flowed and turned into dancing lights around him. "how can you love me bee, after all those things I said and did, after I let you down and all those times I was with mikaela when you wanted me all along, how can I ever be good enough for you" the flood finally hit and Sam was left broken and sobbing by it. Bee lifted Sam up so that his head rested on his shoulder as he held him close, "sam you have always been good enough for me, you fought when others ran, you never let me down you were always there for me and so long as you were happy that was enough for me to be happy, I love you more than anyone I have ever known and that will never change" Bee spoke gently and from the spark as he sent all that he was feeling through their link to Sam.
"you mean that bee?" whispered Sam softly "that I'm good enough even with all my flaws?", "when I look at you sam I never see any flaws your perfect to me, you always have been" replied Bee lovingly. Something in Sam's eyes seemed break as he started to drift into stasis against Bumblebee's Avatar, Bee lowered him on to the pillow as Sam slipped from the waking world his mind strained By the flood of emotion that had washed over him with more force than he had ever experienced at once. Bee lay next to Sam as his lover drifted off still holding on to him tightly a level of peace in his mind that was filling the now empty empty place that had stored the hidden flood of emotion. "rest now sam, my big bad wolf your little bumblebee will keep watch while you sleep and chase away any bad dreams" said Bee as he kissed Sam lightly on cheek. Almost all of Bumblebee's attention was focused on Sam's Avatar so much that he didn't notice a small change in Sam's alt form, one last lock that had desperately wanted to open finally released it self as the plates that covered Sam's spark chamber were finally freed to move again. Behind the metal plates the glowing orb that was Sam's spark pulsed steadily as it awaited the moment it had been longing for since Sam's upgrade, the moment where it would no-longer be alone separated from it's other half.
