"He said he went to see Optimus" Arcee said leading the thtee mechs down the hallway, into Optimus prime's office.

"Yes Arcee, boys, how can I help you today, I could teach you how to knock on a door..." Optimus gave a sigh to the four in crowded in his office.

"Sorry, but we were just looking for Mirage" Arcee apologized for their rude enterance.

"He left a while ago, not to happy but yeah" Optimus answered pointing at the door.

"Ok, any idea why he's upset?" Arcee asked backing towards the door.

"I would suggest you four speak with him" Optimus suggested placing his servos on his desk.

"Alighty lets go find him!" Jazz said jumping out the door with the twins.

"Thanks" Arcee thanked the prime before following the boys down the hallway.

"Whoa, Hide geez, never seen you rush out of the training room!" Sideswipe gasped after Ironhide rushed out of the training room.

"Well I wouldn't, but I've already gotten in his way twice" Ironhide huffed showing the four a few slashes from very sharpe blades.

"He's in there" Arcee said looking at the slash wounds on the weapon specialist.

"He did that, why?" Jazz asked getting kind of worried.

"Yes but not on purpose, my big ass was in the way that's all" Ironhide waved it off giving a small chuckle before walking away.

"Alright lets go" Arcee said turning and walking towards the training room enterance.

"Whoa hey, are you crazy!?" Sunstreaker panicked before Arcee could step foot in the room.

"What's the problem?" Arcee asked turning her helm to see the golden mech behind the two others.

"He's in killer mode dude, if he gets one blade on this paint job it's good by finish!" Sunstreaker whined gesturing to himself.

"One, I'm not a dude, and two, you are the biggest princess about your paint ever!" Arcee said shaking her helm and entering the training grounds with Jazz and Sideswipe.

"Ffffine... but you are so dead if he hits me" Sunstreaker grumbled following the three in.

Mirage was no where in site the place was quiet for moment, until a drone popped up infront of Jazz.

"Holy shi..." Jazz gasped at the dorne suddenly appearing but shut up when it's head rolled off it's shoulder onto the ground, Mirage then reappeared from being invisible, and Jazz was inches away from one of Mirage's wrist blades.

"Hey Mirage..." Jazz gave an uneasy laugh taking a fingure and pushing Mirage's threating arm down with a smile.

"What do you want" Mirage growled pulling his arm away from Jazz.

Mirage turned walking through the middle of the training room, being followed by the four, Sunstreaker jumping and stepping over the energon and oil slik all over the floor from the drones.

"Geez you make more of mess in here then Hide does, AH!" Sideswipe yelped as a drone came out of no where right in front of him.

Mirage instantly reacted, retracting his gun, shooting the drones head clean off with his dart rifle.

"Yeah..." Mirage answered with no emotion retracting his gun back into his arm, as they finally got to the traing room controls, Mirage turned the test off.

"Mirage Optimus said you were upset" Arcee was the first to ask the question that being the reason they went to find the red mech in the first place.

"Yeah so" Mirage said coldly, cleaning the energon off of his blades.

"Why?"

"No reason" Mirage answered leaning against a wall.

"If it was because I dragged you down into the med bay for a check up, we're sorry, we know you don't like going" Arcee apologized knowing the spy hated seeing the doctor.

"We just care about our little bro!" Sunstreaker cooed putting Mirage in a playfull headlock giving him a noogie.

"No...it's not... cause of that!" Mirage growled struggling to pull himself out of the headlock.

"Sunstreaker let him go" Arcee commanded the golden twin with a sigh, wanting to hear what Mirage had to say.

"Alright" Sunstreaker sighed with a chuckle, letting Mirage go.

"Well why are you upset then lil bro?" Jazz asked with care in his tone.

"Yes please tell us, we're here to help" Arcee added to the grey mechs words.

"I asked Optimus if I could go on solo spy missions" Mirage sighed finally spitting it out.

"You wanna go on spy missions?" Sideswipe asked with a little worry lingering in his tone for their young brother.

"Yes, that's what I want to do, and what my training is most suited for" Mirage answered the silver twin.

"But those solo missions are dangerous Mirage, not a lot of bots return" Arcee told the mech also not wanting their younger brother to go.

"I know, but I can handle and complete any task that has been thrown at me, and I want more of a challenge" Mirage said being honest with his four adopted sibblings.

"Ok I understand that, but what does that have to do with you being upset?" Sunstreaker asked changing the subject back to the original subject.

"Optimus said he would consider it, but I have to get permission from either Hound, Hide, Ratchet, or you guys!" Mirage scoffed in annoyance.

"So?" Sideswipe and the others shrugged not seeing the reason to get upset about that.

"I'm old enough to make my own decisions, I shouldn't have to get permission!" Mirage snapped at the four.

"Mirage you're just begining to be a young adult, you're still a kid, and require permission from your gardians or older sibblings" Arcee told the red mech who gave her an even more upset look.

"You're only ten years older then I am!" Mirage hissed in frustration.

"Yeah you've only been sparked for 9 years, Mirage that's ah huge decision to make for such a young mech!" Arcee growled starting to get frustrated with the young mech.
