Steve Rogers had seen many imposable things in the past year things that he never would have imagined in his wildest dreams he was starting to think that nothing would surprise him. Then a winged woman had come into his life and tuned everything he knew upside down. Now ever since she had meet him by knocking him out with a frying pan she was an enigma that was shrouded in mystery of what she knew. After she had gotten hurt saving his and Bucky's life she had become something of a sister to him. Now said sister was sleeping and her friend/subject Jazz was laughing so hard he could not get off the ground the reason why…..
"Ha, ha, ha Steve" gasped Jazz as he pointed at a sleeping Venatrix "death by Boobies!"
Steve had learned fast that Venatrix was a strong cuddlier when she was sleeping (when she got you there was no escape), normally she would sleep walk to him, Jazz, Prowl, or Wheeljack. Whenever Wheeljack meet up with the rest of the Howling Commandos to give Venatrix updates on the progress of finding a way home or just to rest Venatrix would curl up in the back of his alt form and sleep to give him some comfort form what he had seen in the concentration camps (it felt to close to the sparking massacre to him and gave him flashbacks). The fact that she was cuddling up someone now was not the problem, no what surprised Steve was that it was Bucky being cuddled to death. Venatrix had him in a death grip with his face shoved into her cleavage so tightly that Bucky was having trouble breathing. 'Death by Boobs indeed' thought Steve as he tried to move Bucky so as not to wake Venatrix and make sure that he was not killed.
Prowl saw what Steve was trying to do and stopped him "Captain Rogers that is not a good idea let me do it Venatrix would never forgive herself if she hurt her Kith."
Steve watched as Prowl moved Bucky so he could breathe but still be cuddled by Venatrix so that she didn't wake. Bucky sucked in air greedily with his face bright red from lack of air. Prowl moved Venatrix, with an air of familiarity through his own experiences to being a living teddy bear for Venatrix, Paxians had always had a strong bond to the Allspark.
"Are you okay there Bucky?" asked Steve.
"Fine Stevie, I just never though that a Dams' boobs could kill a man though."
Jazz gave a snort and shakes his head "There are worse ways to go than being cuddled to death by your sister." He said without thinking then froze hoping that they didn't catch his slip up lucky they didn't.
Bucky smiled at Jazz "Yes death by cuddling is not the worst way to go" he smiled down at the sleeping femm now cuddling his arm.
Jazz looked at Prowl with a frown forming on his face ["Prowl are you seeing this?"] he said in his native tong.
["Yes Jazz unfortunately I do and I fear for what our Allspark will be feeling Bucky will be captured and brainwashed into becoming the winter soldier by HYDRA."] Prowl, was surprisingly, a major comic book nerd and Captain America was his all-time favorite Bucky's fate had never rested well with him and after meeting them less so. 'If this was how Venatrix felt about Optimus during the battle of the pyramids and others I do not envy her' he thought wings drooping at the thought of what was to come. ["They are her Kith now Jazz we may not be able to stop what is going to happen to them but…."] Inspiration struck ["we can make it better for them as Venatrix did for us!"] Prowl chirped with joy.
["What? What can we do?"]
["I need to talk to Venatrix and Wheeljack but if we give Steve a tracker that he can activate when he wakes up he can call for our help with the Loki and Bucky a tattoo with nanites we can use that to repair the damage that the chair did to him so he can still keep to the timelines."]
Jazz processed what Prowl had said for a moment then jumped up for joy "YES!"
"What? What is going on come on Jazz we can't understand what you two were saying" asked a confused Steve.
Jazz thinking quickly in the fly asked "did Venatrix every, explain to you too about what Kith is and what it means to our people?"
"I have heard you guys say that word a couple times but she has never explained it."
"Cybertoniens have sparks which are our souls, our heart; it is what makes us alive. Unlike organics we can feel the connections that souls natural make with people. Every living thing has an aura and the more time you spend with a person the more of their aura you pick up into your own this creates bonds. Kith is when your soul recognizes someone as family, and for Venatrix family is all to her there is nothing I repeat nothing she would not do for family. You have already started to see and feel the signs of a bond forming between the three of you."
"What do you mean?" asked Bucky.
Jazz gave him a big smile and pointed at Venatrix still sleeping on his arm "Exhibit A) if Venatrix doesn't trust someone she will never fall asleep near them when she is sparked. Exhibit B) she loves the two of you, and trust you. New sparks are very delicate in their first stage Seekerlings even more she trusts your souls enough not to hurt or corrupt them because when she sleeps she cannot shield them."
Bucky and Steve look at the winged woman incredulously trying to wrap around their heads what they were being told. Venatrix just slept spreading her wings out to cover Bucky and herself mumbling softly "Kith safe" smiling softly and snuggling into the warmth of Bucky's side. Steve and Bucky Smile they may not completely understand what was going on but family was not an unfamiliar concept to them.
"Well Punk, it looks like you are no longer the youngest and we are still out numbers with four older sisters."
"Oh shut it Bucky you love Mary, Diana, Lucy, and Patricia."
"Of course I do I practically raised them like I did you." Deciding that they would talk to Venatrix when she woke up they both placed and arm over her in a protective manor and fell asleep knowing that Prowl and Jazz would be able to keep watch.
