-Back at Base- Optimus Prime's POV
Bumble Bee layed the two nearly frozen humans on the beds that Spike and Sparkplug helped us set up.
"We need to give them fluids with 5% dextrose to hydrate them. After that we just need to keep them warm and wait for them to pull throught," Red Alert said.
"How long will that take?" I ask.
"Probably a few hours or so."
"I want someone in here with them at all times. Let's hope that when they wake up they know or have at least seen our missing mechs."
"I agree, but you don't want to push them when they first wake up."
"I understand," I sighed as I turn and walk out of the room and to my small office.
Bumble Bee's POV
I watch as Optimus leaves the room. Was he okay? I know we were all worried for Ratchet and Ironhide, but something just seemed off about him. I take one more look at the humans before turning and following Optimus.
When Optimus entered his office, I pause thinking weather or not I should enter when I hear my comm line pick up.
"Enter Bumble Bee."
I shake my head before entering the office.
"Sorry for bothering you. I was just a little worried about you."
"Just a little upset and worried that we can't find Ratchet and Ironhide. I almost feel as if we let them down."
"I know what you mean, but we can only do so much. And maybe the humans will know what happened," I smile.
"Let's hope they will."
- 3 hours later - Ironhide's POV
My head started to throb as I onlined my optics. At first everything seemed a little blury and then I heard a low beeping. i look to my right and see a tube coming out of a bag and led to an arm... my arm. I sit up as I scream and look to my left to see Ratchet laying still on the bed. My eyes go wide as I stand up and step over to him.
"Sir, sit down," came the voice of Optimus Prime from behind me, but I didn't listen.
I run a hand over Ratchet's hair and down the side of his face. It was the face of my best friend and commrade.
Bumble Bee soon entered the room with Spike and Sparkplug who came to my side.
"Sir, you need to sit down. Our friends, the Autobots, will heal you and your friend, but..."
"Spike, I know," I cut him off.
"Do I know you?"
"Yes," I nod and turn to him. "It's me... Ironhide."
Spikes eyes go wide as Optimus spoke up.
"What happened?"
"A light came out of the experiment and I pulled Ratchet down to save him. But a second beam came and we got hit. When we onlined, we were human. Ratchet tried to protect us from hypothermia, but I am more worried about him at the moment. He is way smaller than me," I said as I touch his face again.
"He will be okay. He just needs rest."
I nod, laying down hoping to relax some.
- 2 hours later -
I have been laying on my side watching Ratchet for the past two hours with nothing happening. I hope he's okay and not hurt. When he finally moved, I jump up and stand next to him.
Ratchet's POV
I open my eyes and the first thing I see is Ironhide's human face looking down at me.
"Ironhide," I say softly.
"Are you okay?"
"I feel fine. Just a little cold."
"I was so worried about you."
"Why?"
"Well, you were offlined when they found us and have been offline two hours longer than I have been."
"You saved us," I smile sitting up.
Ironhide blushed as he looked at me.
"Are you okay? You are red," I ask placing a hand on your forehead.
"I'm fine," Ironhide said pulling back slightly confused as to why he was red.
"Then if you are fine, why are you red? Or are you blushing?" I ask.
"Yes... No... Maybe..." Ironhide stuttered before laying down and facing away from me.
"You are," I smile as I blush just as Prime and Bee walk into the room.
"Shut up," I hear him mumble.
