Prelude

A small child lay unconscious on a comfortable and soft looking bed, tucked in the warm blankets of the bed to keep him warm and a woman sat on the side, near to him and looked at him with concern, her amber eyes showing worry in them.

This small child had been found lying on the doorstep of the orphanage. Someone had knocked and the moment she had opened the door, she had found this small child, unconscious and cold and she had immediately took him in to make sure he was safe. He was an innocent child after all.

But oddly, somehow, the child looked familiar although the woman was sure she hadn't seen him anywhere before. She wondered where the parents of the child were and why they would even leave him in the world all alone. She sighed. The war made people make such choices that they'd never make.

She silently sat next to the child, stroking his head kindly, not being able to suppress her feelings of emotion for the child. Like so many others, this child had now to grow up in the orphanage.

She continued sitting next to him before the child stirred. She looked at him cautiously as he suddenly sat up. At first he rubbed his eyes and then, he looked around, spotting her and immediately backing away, saying "Who are you?!"

His voice was childlike but unbearably terrified and fear covered every part of his face until the woman spoke "I'm Storm. Don't worry, I won't hurt you"

The child looked up at her in a worried expression before relaxing somewhat. Storm decided to ask him his name.

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?"

The child stared up at her with strikingly familiar sapphire blue eyes before saying "I ... don't remember"

Storm refrained herself from gasping. Amnesia? To such a small child? He was barely 5 and was so innocent ... Storm wondered what trauma had he suffered to be this way. After somewhat recovering, she looked up at him and said "You really don't remember?"

The child shook his head, all honesty shown plainly in his face. Storm got closer to him and hugged him like a mother. The child at first, tensed up but the moment her warm embrace embraced him, he relaxed and hugged back.

Storm said "You don't have to be scared. I will be here for you. I will take care of you, will love you as if you're my own son"

The child didn't know how much truth was in her words, he had no idea that she spoke nothing but truth but her words reassured the child all the same

.

For a few moments, they kept hugging each other, before Storm pulled back from the cute, innocent looking boy and said "How about we think of a name for you? Something you'll like?"

The child nodded enthusiastically, as if he couldn't wait to find out what his name was going to be.

Storm thought for a moment before giving a smile and asking "How about Optimus?"

"Optimus?" said the child curiosly before saying "I love it!" with so much excitement that he almost toppled over the bed but didn't, thanks to Storm catching him just in time.

"Be careful" she said seriously but with a smile on her face, showing she was amused with Optimus's excitement.

"Okay" said Optimus cheerfully. Nothing on his face suggested that he had been terrified of Storm before, all that was on his face was pure innocent joy, joy that he'd find his place in the world.

Yes, he had woken up with no memories of his past, or even knowing his name but Storm had made everything okay. She was caring and he asked her suddenly "Um ... Miss Storm?"

"Yes?"

"Could I call you ... mother?"

Storm looked surprised. She leaned down next to him and said "Really?" with a very far away tone.

"Yeah"

"Of course" said Storm hugging Optimus once more, tears in her eyes, happy and sad tears, tears she couldn't help.

She had lost her own son after all.

"Umm ... mother?"

"Hmm?"

"Can we play now?"

"Of course"

She tore herself away from Optimus, wiped the tears in her eyes without him noticing and stood up. She held his hand in hers and they both walked toward the door, which she opened and said kindly "Excited to see new friends?"

"Yeah!"
