"If she's not on Cybertron then she must be here on Earth!" Megatron growled after cutting off the transmission from Shockwave.
"Megatron, why do you even care?" Starscream muttered. "It's not like she'll be of any use to us if we capture her!"
"Mute it, Starscream!" He snarled at the jet who cringed away. "She is one of the only femme's left and the Autobots have her!"
"Good riddance," Starscream snorted. "That femme is a danger to everyone! She's unstable!"
"Perhaps not as unstable as we think," Megatron growled. "If she managed to escape Shockwave and survive on her own this long, than something has surely changed." He looked at his TIC then. "Soundwave, have your cassettes do recon and find out if she is hiding here on Earth."
"As you command, Megatron," The monotone voice replied. "Laserbeak, Rumble, Frenzy: Eject. Objective: obtain information concerning escaped femme Aquafire," The cassette's nodded and left the base.

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were finally free of the brig after having spent the last five days locked up for apparently endangering Bolt in a very harmless prank. They'd seen Prowl angry before but for him to have actually raised his voice... well that was something the twins had never seen. Prowl never lost his cool when he was punishing them and yet the moment they involve Bolt, he just fly's off the handle. They would never understand him.
"Aquafire, just the femme we were looking for," Sideswipe abruptly changed direction and looped his arm around the Seekers. Sunstreaker did the same so Aquafire was efficiently trapped between them.
"Have fun in the brig?" She smirked at them as they walked.
"As much as we always do," Sideswipe grinned.
"I need to go fix my paint again," Sunstreaker complained.
"Sunstreaker, I'm a femme and I don't even care that much about my paint job," The golden twin glared at her. Just as they were about to head to the rec room, the alarm sounded and they rushed to the command room instead.
"Primus hates me," Sunstreaker whined. "The moment I get out of the brig, the Decepticons attack!"
"Must be a sign," Aquafire laughed softly. As the Autobots were getting set to leave, the femme confronted Optimus. "Sir, I'd like to go."
"Not this time," He left no room to argue as he transformed and left. The femme growled in annoyance and stalked off, passing Spike on the way. The first time she'd met him, he'd been convinced she was an undercover 'Con but that hadn't lasted long as he'd been even more shocked to find out that she was a femme and not a mech. Turns out the boy had never met a femme face to face before so Aquafire felt somewhat proud of the fact that she was the first to have come into contact with a human.
"Hey, Aquafire, where's Bolt?" Spike asked as he looked up at her. The femme knelt down and looked at him before she answered.
"Last I remember, he was taking his afternoon nap," She told him. "Why?"
"I found these tape cassettes and set them down for a few minutes," Spike answered. "But now they're gone. I figured maybe Bolt had taken them."
"I will go and see," Aquafire straightened back up and started towards her quarters with Spike following her. Before they could get there however, a loud explosion sounded and had them freezing in their tracks.
"Wheeljack?" Spike questioned, though he was frowning.
"No, his lab is at the other end of the base," Aquafire reminded him. "It came from..." Her optics widened. "BOLT!" She tore off towards her quarters and was confronted with a wall of smoke. "Bolt? Sweetspark, are you there?" She made her way into her quarters and snarled when she saw Laserbeak and the cassette twins. Her optics darkened in rage and all logical thought escaped her. "Where is my son! What have you done to him?"
"Just roughed him up," Rumble grinned while Laserbeak recorded the femme for Soundwave and Megatron.
"Uh, wrong thing ta say, bro!" Frenzy yelped when he saw the murderous look in the femmes optics. The twins scrambled and got out just before she could blast them, Laserbeak following them quickly with the recorded information.
"Aquafire, don't worry about them!" Spike called when he saw her moving to follow. "Bolt needs your attention," This seemed to snap her out of her rage and she let out a small whimper as she finally saw her adopted sparkling. His still forming doorwings were dented and twisted at odd, painful angles and leaking energon from scratches. His still soft armor was dented and torn, damaged from the surprise attack and one of his optics was damaged.
"Oh, Bolt," She groaned miserably, dropping to her knees to scoop him up gently. "I'm sorry," She whispered, hugging him close. She soon let out a cry of despair that caught the attention of the returning Autobots.
"What the Pit?" Spike turned to see Ironhide and a few others standing in the doorway. All attention was quickly focused on Aquafire and the still form in her arms.
"It's all my fault!" She wailed loudly. "I left him alone... and he got hurt..." Ratchet slowly crept into the room and knelt down.
"Aquafire, I need you to trust me," The medic murmured to the distraught femme. "Let me take Bolt," At the mention of him taking the youngling, Aquafire hissed and raised her wings, flaring them threateningly at him. No one was taking Bolt away from her!
"Stubborn femme, let 'im take Bolt," Ironhide grunted. Aquafire let out a low whine, optics wide and frantic as she looked for a way to escape.
"Slaggit! If you don't let me take him, he's going to die!" Ratchet growled at her. The femme stiffened at this and looked at her son before slowly handing him over to the medibot. Ratchet gave her one look before he got up and hurried to the sick bay.
"Don' worry," Ironhide set a heavy servo on her shoulder. "Ratch'll have 'im good as new in no time." With this said, the old mech left, Spike following after him along with Bumblebee.
"Hey, Aquafire, wanna hear something funny?" The femme scowled when the twins crouched in front of her. They dragged her up onto the berth and sat on either side of her.
"For the love of Primus... please leave me alone," She grumbled, not wanting to put up with them and their jokes.
"Just listen," Sideswipe had that grin on his face that made her sigh. "So, the attack was nothing but the Seekers flying around causing a bit of a ruckus."
"Distraction is more like it," She bit out angrily.
"So me and Sunny-"
"Don't call me that," The golden mech snapped.
"Did our usual thing," Sideswipe continued without missing a beat. "Sunstreaker had Screamer this time and boy was he screaming," He grinned widely. "Dunno what happened but next thing I know, I see them on the ground with Starscream twitching and... moaning." Aquafire's optics lit up then.
"Sunstreaker, what exactly were you doing?" She asked the yellow warrior.
"I was hanging onto him because he was trying to throw me off," He grumbled. "Kept sliding around and I noticed he was... kinda liking it," He shuddered at the thought. "He kept trying to get me off and I kept hanging on and eventually, we crashed. Screamer was moaning and twitching like..."
"Congratulations, Sunstreaker, you managed to make him overload," Aquafire snickered when his optics widened and he began to screech about how disgusting it was.
"We've used Jet Judo lots of times, how did he manage to do that?" Sideswipe asked curiously.
"Could have been anything," She shrugged. She bit her glossa to stop from blurting out "you'll have to figure it out yourselves" but she obviously didn't have to say it because when she looked at Sideswipe he had that grin on his faceplates. His optics were bright with curiosity as he looked over and studied her frame, ignoring his brother all the while.
"Bro, I think we need to do some investigating," The red frontliner looked at his twin, who immediately stopped and looked at him. He got the hint after he received a message through their bond and grinned as well.
"I agree," He turned his gaze to Aquafire who quickly caught on and attempted to flee. The twins grabbed her quickly and pinned her to the large berth, cackling gleefully as they did so. Their servos were everywhere as they attempted to find each and every one of her sensitive spots. Aquafire was not going to make it easy for them though and she kept her reactions as small as possible. They traced transformation seams and dug their digits under her armor, searching for wires to play with as they continued their little investigation. Sunstreaker made his way to her cockpit and ran his servo over it eagerly. He knew for a fact that the cockpit glass on a Seeker was sensitive, just as the windshield glass on a grounder was so he was eager to see the reaction it would get from her.
"Ngh...!" Aquafire bit her lower lip softly as she twisted beneath them. Simultaneously, the twins attacked her cockpit, having caught her reaction, and watched with glee as she twisted and writhed.
"Still not the reactions we want though," Sideswipe hummed as he lazily traced a transformation seam near her wing. His optics finally landed on the appendage and he swept his servo over it, smirking when it twitched and quivered beneath his touch. The twins shared a look and before Aquafire could protest, they had her laying on her front, pressed into the berth carefully. They didn't need the Hatchet after their helms for accidentally cracking the femme's cockpit.
"N-no!" She squeaked out when they started their assault on her wings. They traced over every line and seam, digging their fingers under the armor to play with overly sensitive wires. Oh Primus, she hated to admit it but... it felt so good to be touched like this again. It was nothing like being touched by a fellow Seeker who knew what he was doing but it still felt good to her.
They had no idea what they were doing and yet, they seemed to know exactly where to touch to get a reaction from her. She suddenly let out a yelp of pain which informed the twins that they'd done something wrong and they immediately changed how much pressure they put into their touches.
"Mmm, just like that," She let out a purr as the twins continued. "For a couple of groundpounders, you really know how to make a flier like me feel good." She let a moan slip from her mouthplates when she felt Sunstreaker nip along the upper ridge of her left wing. Sideswipe licked a trail along her right wing, dipping the slick appendage into a seam to flick at some wires. As much as she fought it, Aquafire felt her cooling fans kick on and whimpered in pleasure.
The femme tried hard not to let on that she was close to overloading but with the twins constantly touching and teasing her wings... it was nearly impossible. Her wings trembled along with her body as she let out small needy whimpers that quickly turned into moans and gasps as her body heated to impossible levels. She let out a wail as her overload washed over her and she strained against the twins as they kept up with the constant touches.
"I never knew you could overload a Seeker by touching their wings," Sunstreaker mused as they helped the now exhausted femme to turn onto her back.
"Now you know," She rumbled. "If you ever do that to me again, I will weld you to the back of the firing range and let Ironhide have at you."
"You know you loved it," Sunstreaker smirked at her. She scowled at him and let out a rumbling sigh as her body slowly cooled down.
"You may have been able to overload me but that does not mean I will sleep with either of you," She hummed softly.
"Just you wait, you'll be begging for us in no time," Sideswipe grinned at her. Aquafire rolled her optics and had them help her up. Once the haze of her overload faded, she immediately remembered that Bolt was in the med bay.
"Do you want to go?" Sunstreaker asked, knowing she wanted to see Bolt. The femme nodded and the twins led her down towards the med bay where Ratchet was working to save the youngling.
"Bolt..." Her optics filled with pain as she waited outside the door. Eventually, she moved to sit against the wall and pulled her knees to her chin, slowly offlining her optics as she tried to get what rest she could.
-X-X-X-
Megatron could only stare at the screen that held the frozen picture of an enraged Aquafire standing over the limp form of a Praxian youngling.
"What exactly, made you think it would be a good idea to attack the youngling?" Megatron asked Rumble and Frenzy, who were standing beside Soundwave, almost hiding behind his legs.
"Honest ta Primus! We didn' know she had a kid!" Frenzy exclaimed. Megatron couldn't really say much to this as the video had come as a shock to him as well. The gray mech looked to his SIC who was still staring at the screen, mouth agape as he tried to process what he'd seen and heard. When the Pit had she had a sparkling? And a Praxian one at that! The brattling didn't look too horribly young, a million years or so, so she'd have had to have been with spark sometime before or shortly after they left Cybertron.
"Regardless, we know she is here on Earth," Megatron finally growled out. "We must get her back."
"What's the point?" Starscream tore his optics from the monitor and glared at his leader. "She's useless to us without her trine. She also has a youngling!"
"That youngling is going to be what brings her back to us," The Decepticon warlord grinned at his SIC who took a moment to really get the meaning behind his words.
"I would love to hear how you plan to make that work," He snorted.
"You will see, Starscream," He sneered before striding from the room.
-X-X-X-
"Get up before your joints freeze," Aquafire came out of recharge to hear Ratchet grumbling and slowly took in her surroundings. She was still in the hallway, in the same position she'd somehow fallen into recharge in. "I'm finished with his repairs, he's in recharge for now," He informed as the femme slowly stood up, wincing at her stiff joints. She followed the grumpy medic into the sick bay and her vents hitched when she saw Bolt hooked up to a few various machines and an energon drip. "Those blasted cassette's did a number on him but luckily, his armor and protoform are still soft enough that they could be fixed and realigned without a problem. He'll heal within a few weeks with rest and good energon."
"Thank you," She nodded and walked towards the berth. She leaned down and pressed a kiss to his tiny chevron.
"Aquafire, I would like to see you in my office," Ratchet told her in a soft voice. "We need to talk," She looked up and saw that he was serious. For one terrifying moment, she thought he was going to tell her that Bolt was in permanent stasis but this thought was quickly destroyed as she entered his office and took a seat. Aquafire was confused and shocked when Prowl joined them a breem later, his doorwings twitching and stiff as he looked at the CMO.
"Why have you called me here?" He asked, optics narrowed. "I'm very busy, Ratchet, I don't have time for this," He glanced at Aquafire and quickly looked away. The two still didn't get along very well but they tried to for Bolt's sake as the youngling was firmly attached to the older Praxian.
"I needed you both in one room so I could talk to you," He vented out a breath. "You two better start getting to know each other better and get over whatever fragging issues you have."
"Why?" Both bots held their wings a bit higher and stiffer as they looked at the medic.
"I became somewhat curious while I was treating Bolt," He told them. "I had First Aid take an energon sample for coding tests to find out who his Creators were."
"He was sparked naturally?" Prowl was honestly surprised.
"Yes, sometime after Vector Sigma shut down," Ratchet nodded. "I just got the results back a little while ago and I must say, even I am surprised. While I was unable to find who his Creators were, I did happen to find a close relative."
"Where?" Aquafire felt her spark clench.
"Here on the Ark," Ratchet informed them. Realization dawned on the two bots slowly. "Prowl, you are in fact Bolt's uncle." The tactician felt his spark swell with happiness even though he refused to outwardly show it. Aquafire couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her adopted sparkling had a direct relation to one of the Autobots. "I'll leave you to discuss things," With that, Ratchet left to continue monitoring the youngling in question.
"This changes nothing, Prowl," Aquafire snapped. "Just because you are his uncle, it does not mean I will just hand him over to you and-"
"I have no intention of taking Bolt away from you," He told her.
"I..." She stared at him, shocked. Any other bot would have happily taken a sparkling away from someone like her so why not Prowl?
"It's obvious he thinks of you as he would his own Carrier and I do not want to tear him away from you when he obviously means so much to you," He continued. "Ratchet told us about your past. I know." The femme's white faceplates tinged in embarrassment and shame.
"Bolt is my only reason, Prowl," She whispered. "If anything were to happen to him..." Her vents hitched.
"I know and that is why I want you to continue being his adopted Carrier," In a rare show of emotions, the SIC actually smiled at her. "In exchange, I want to be able to spend more time with him, to get him used to the idea of me being his uncle." It sounded so strange hearing the human word applied to their kind but it fit.
"That's fine," She let herself smile as well. The two stood and left, stopping to look over Bolt before Ratchet shooed them away, promising to comm them should his condition change. Aquafire watched as Prowl went back to his office, doorwings held high and proud and let herself chuckle. She herself met up with the twins in the rec room for some much needed energon and chatted with them as though nothing had occurred between them.
"So how's the little one?" Sunstreaker asked.
"Better," She told him. "He'll be back on his pede's in a few weeks," She let herself smile as she thought back to what Ratchet had told her.
"Anything else?" Sideswipe leaned in with a grin.
"You'll find out on your own soon," She smirked at him. The twins both pouted at this and she merely laughed. "Thanks for earlier boys," She gave them a smile and left, swinging her hips as she did so.
"Primus, that femme is a tease," Sunstreaker grumbled once she disappeared.
"She's going to make us work for it," Sideswipe grinned, optics glinting. "She's given us a challenge, Sunny, and I fully intend on meeting it head on."
"As do I," Sunstreaker brushed off the nickname and grinned before he and his twin began planning how to get closer to the flighty femme.
