I Don't Own Anything.
The walk the rec. room was slow. Throughout the walk Sunstreaker could feel the discomfort and giddiness coming from his brother. Sunstreaker growled, getting a slightly confused look from Sideswipe.
"What's wrong Sunshine?" Sideswipe said in a sing song voice. He leaned closer, finger inches away from his faceplate about to poke him.
"Stop," Sunstreaker grunted smacking the hand away.
"Stop what?" Sideswipe stopped and crossed his arms over his chest, facing Sunstreaker, a slight smile on his face.
"This." He said motioning towards Sideswipe, "Why are you so happy? I know if I was in your position, I'd be fragged. Slag I might even be scared! But you? You're slagging happy!"
"Not scared?" The smile now gone from the red twins face, "I'm scared as pit, Sunstreaker! With what happened, why wouldn't I be? Why would you care anyway?"
He knew he shouldn't be taking out his anger on his brother, but Sunstreaker was determined. Determined to protect his brother and to do that he knew he had to calm down. "You didn't answer my question," And so he fought.
"Well you didn't answer mine."
Despite the strange looks they were receiving from passing mechs and remarks about moving out of the way, Sunstreaker stepped closer to his brother, faces merely inches apart. He hissed barely above a whisper, "Because I'm trying to protect you."
Sideswipe was at a loss for words. His brother very rarely admitted to caring verbally, much less in a public area. "Sunny... I-"
"Save it." He said before stepping away, "Let's go."
Sideswipe stared after his brother. He was just as scared as he was. After he got over his shock Sideswipe ran for his brother. By the time he caught up with him they were already at the rec. room. Sunstreaker made a bee line for the energon dispenser with Sideswipe right on his tail.
"Sunny," Sideswipe said when they sat at an empty table in the back of the room, "I'm sorry."
Sunstreaker sighed looking down at the table."No Sides I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that." He continued growling slightly, "It wasn't your fault."
"You're really scared aren't you?" Sunstreaker nodded, "Well don't be. I'm fine. Sparked maybe, but fine."
"I know. But, why are you happy about this?"
Sideswipe took a drink from his cube, thinking. "I'm only thinking about the plus sides really," He said with a smile, "Like the fact that I'm gonna be a dad, your gonna be an uncle, and we're gonna have a little Lambo running around the Ark."
"Or a seeker. Sideswipe I can't just forget what that seeker slag did."
"Relax. It's over," Sideswipe said with a smirk.
The two sat quietly drinking their cubes before Bluestreak walked over and sat down on the opposite side of the table. Sunstreaker growled before being smacked by Sideswipe.
"Hey guys!"
"Hey Blue" Sideswipe said.
"I saw Ironhide earlier today. He didn't look to happy. And I don't think it was just because he was pink but who knows right? I figured it was you two who painted him pink. No one else is brave enough to mess with Ironhide like that anyways."
Sunstreaker stiffened while Sideswipe finished his cube before laughing, "Yeah that was us. Sunny get me another cube?" he said out lout while handing his brother the supplements to add to it. :Put these in it too: He added over their bond.
Sunstreaker grunted before standing up and walking over to the dispenser. Bluestreak looked at Sideswipe wearily.
"Are you okay Sides? You usually just have one cube and seeing how you already finished it."
"Yeah Blue I'm fine, why'd you ask?"
Bluestreak shrugged, "I don't know, just worried I guess. Whenever I said I saw Ironhide it was when he was carrying you to the med bay. You were offline and I got scared and-"
"Relax. I'm fine promise." Sideswipe interrupted with a small smile. "Just low on recharge, that's all."
"Okay good."
Sunstreaker walked back with the energon, though slightly brighter than normal Bluestreak didn't comment or didn't seem to notice. Sideswipe was glad Bluestreak didn't questioned what happened anymore.
Ratchet stalked down the halls. Some mechs greeted him, which was rudely ignored by the CMO, others wisely moved out of the medic's way to evade being ran over. Ratchet roughly made his way to Optimus' office.
Heading in the opposite direction was Prowl and Jazz, discussing whatever was on a datapad in the SIC's hand. As Ratchet pushed in-between them Jazz called out, "Yo Ratch. Why're ya in such a hurry?"
Ratchet paused and turned to face the two mechs. "Meet me in Primes office. No but's, no why's, just do it," he said before turning back and started walking once again.
He wanted to explain Sideswipe's condition in person and he might as well tell all three commanding officers instead of explaining it three separate times.
Ratchet barged into Optimus Prime's office.
"Ratchet, what-" Ratchet held up a finger to cut of Optimus. Just when he was about to ask what was going on, Prowl and Jazz walked into the office.
Ratchet pointed to the two empty chairs, motioning them to sit.
"I'm sure you are all aware of Sideswipe's 'episode'. What you're not aware of is the cause and that's why I'm here. His spark was under extreme strain, his systems also under strain, plus he was extremely low on energon."
"So what caused it?" Jazz interrupted, earning a glare from the medic.
"I was getting there. The cause of all this is that he is carrying a second spark."
All three mechs were silent. Mouths slightly hanging open. Prowl looked about to crash. Jazz's mouth kept opening and closing trying to say something. Optimus, though, was the first to recover.
"How long?"
"Four months."
Jazz snapped his head up to look at Ratchet. "But that was when-"
"One of those fragging cons sparked him." Ratchet said what was on all of their minds.
There was a loud popping sound and all optics where on Prowl. One of his wings twitched before both going stiff. Despite the fact that he was sitting, ever so slowly Prowl feel to the ground with a thud.
"The slagger crashed!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Well you have ta say it was gonna happen eventually. Think he was over do for one." Jazz joked, grinning. The grin was wiped off his face when a wrench collided with his head. "What?" He asked. Prime just shook his head while Ratchet snorted.
"If you're done," Ratchet said giving a pointed look towards Jazz. "I want Sideswipe off duty until further notice."
"May I recommend light duty, Ratchet? We are light of hands and I'm sure Red Alert could use help in the monitor room."
Ratchet nodded before reaching down to grab the legs of Prowl. "That'll work, just nothing straining. And Prime, when do you plan on telling the rest of the crew? They're going to need to know."
"Seeing as it's late and most will be recharging, we'll inform them tomorrow."
"Hey Ratch," Jazz said sounding slightly confused. When the medic looked at him he continued, "Who do you think did it?"
"I don't know yet and won't know until the sparklings ready to come. Unless Sideswipe decides to talk before then that is."
With that he started dragging the crashed mech down to the med bay.
Megatron was, to say the least, shocked. When Soundwave came to him with Laserbeak's findings he sure wasn't expecting it. He needed to watch it twice to be sure what he saw was true and sure enough it was. So now there he sat, in his throne thinking about what to do.
"Well isn't this interesting. One of Prime's best frontliners is sparked. Not just sparked with an Autobot but with a Decepticon."
Soundwave stood still beside his leader. Starscream on the other hand was nervous. He had a feeling he knew who the sparker was. When he looked back at his leader he was smiling. Allowing his fanged teeth show. He knew what Megatron was thinking. And he knew it was true.
"I want, no need it. With a combination of that glitched Autobot and a powerful Decepticon that sparkling will be the strong. And it must be with the Decepticons."
Starscream took a step forward. "But surely Lord Megatron, Prime will have him under lock and key. And same with the sparkling as it grows."
Before he knew it, Starscream found himself face to face with Megatron with his hand wrapped tightly around his neck. "Then we would have to work fast wouldn't we Starscream?"
"Y-yes my lord." Starscream gasped when he was let go.
"Good. Now get to work. The sooner we get a hold of the Autobot the better."
Starscream hurriedly left to start making plans. Megatron leaned back in his throne and looked at his TIC.
"Keep an optic on the Autobot. We will need as much information about him and the sparklings progress necessary if we are to get them."
