Prowl had fallen in to a much needed recharge in his office. Jazz left him a note that told the SIC if he need the TIC to just comm him. Jazz smiled and headed for the rec room. He figured that was the best place to start his search of the twins. He walked in to the rec room and smiled when he saw the twins. He noticed that Ironhide, Ratchet and both the inventors were relaxing in the rec room.

He just smiled at the twins. "Sides…. It is kind of creeping me out that he is just smiling and staring at us." The rest of them laughed but Sideswipe knew. "He told you, didn't he? Prowl told you what happened…" Ratchet placed a servo over his mouth.

"He did tell me. I am here to thank both of you for saving him." Jazz did not realize he had been crying until the twins had pulled him in to a hug. "You are welcome. We would still love to kick his aft for what happened but we are just happy that Prowl is okay and now he has you. That is all that matters." Jazz nodded.

Prowl came to and onlined his optics. He noticed he was in his office. He remembered telling Jazz about his past relationship. He noticed if that his lover wasn't in the room anymore.

:Jazz?: :You ok Prowl?: :Are we okay?: :What do you mean?: :Do you hate me?: :No. Not at all, love. I will be there in less than 5 klicks.: Jazz did not bother to knock he just entered. He pulled Prowl in to a hug.

"Are you ok, Prowler? What happened?" "I came out of recharge and you were gone and I just assumed…" The TIC rubbed his lover's back soothingly.

"Shh… It is okay. You told me about your past relationship. Nothing has changed the way I think about you and I still love you." "I am sorry if I pulled you from work…" "Prowl?" "Please don't be angry at me." The saboteur was concerned. "Shh. I am not angry at you." He commed Ratchet.

:Ratch?: :Yes Jazz?: :You need to come to Prowl's office right away.: :Why?: :I think he is having a memory lapse about Incedio.: :I am on my way right now. Make sure he does not move from where he is.: :Okay, see you soon.:

10 klicks later Ratchet rushed in to the office and sighed a little when he saw Prowl clinging to Jazz. "Prowl?" The tactician's helm shot up.

"Carrier!" "What is wrong?" "He is going to kill them. I have to warn then." "Who is going to kill who?" "He is going to kill the twins." "Who is going to kill the twins?" "Incedio is going to kill them. He does not give second chances! He will kill them. I-"

The SIC hit the floor with a thud. Jazz looked over at Ratchet who had a needle in his servo. He sighed and looked back at Jazz with a soft smile.

"Can you get my things? I am going to take him to the medbay." "I can carry him Ratchet." "Not while you are carrying." Jazz nodded his helm in respect only. He was more than happy to carry his mate to the medbay. He was not going to argue with the medic.

After the medbay doors closed Jazz spoke up. "This is not the first time it has happened is it?" "No… Sadly…" "How many more times has it happened?" "Including this time?" Jazz nodded. "This is the second time it happened." "When was the first?"

"About a joor after you left this base. Prowl heard the rumours, he flipped and he broke. I forced him in to recharge this time because I did not like the course he took."

"What happened to him?" "He flipped and tried to pull himself apart and when that did not work, he then tried to rip his spark out…" The TIC winced. "Exactly."

"What happened to Incedio?" The medic gave the saboteur a confused look. "What do you mean?" "I mean have any of you seen him or even heard from him?" The doctor scoffed. "I took an oath to do no harm… As for the twins… You would have to ask them to know for sure. But you heard them in the rec room earlier. They would love nothing more than to kill that mech."

"I know Prowl told you the story of what happened all those metacycles ago. But I know he did not show you what was on that data pad. Jazz I can't begin to tell you how bad those clips and pictures were. But if I were to try and explain than I would have to say that those pictures and video clips made human horror movies look like a child did it." They both shivered.

Jazz knew that it had to be horrible. He had seen some pretty scary movies back on earth. He looked from the medic to his passed out lover. "How did you fix it last time?"

"I tried to delete the memory files but clearly all I succeeded in doing was hiding them." "Is it possible to instead of removing the files, remove the emotions that are tied to them?"

"What do you mean?" "I mean instead of making Prowl forget his past could you remove the feeling of the memories or numb the feelings of the memories?" "I never thought of trying that, though the risk is higher."

"How so?" "Well if I remove the memories then that is it. But if I try to remove the feelings or numb them I might do it to his entire being." "Meaning?"

"Meaning, I could end up with an emotionless creation. Your bonded could end up having no emotions, no love, no caring and no understanding." Jazz looked back to the medic. "Prowl's past made him who he is. I am willing to take the risk if you are." Ratchet sighed. "I suppose I should get started then." The TIC nodded and debated on whether to stay or leave and go back to work.

"I will comm you when I am done." Jazz nodded and left. He knew that he would not be able to work. He would be too worried about Prowl. He decided to hunt down the only ones that he thought could help him, the twins.

"Jazz, you okay?" Jazz looked up and realized he was in the rec room again. With him were the twins, Ironhide and Wheeljack. "He… he… He had a relapse." Sideswipe pulled him in to a hug. "It will be okay Jazz. Is he with Ratchet?" The saboteur nodded.

"Then we both know that he is in good servos." Jazz tried to lighten the mood. "Hey Wheeljack." "Hm?" "Do you know what the sparklings are yet?" "Skyfire said he was going to come by after shift and tell me. Which should be any moment now." "Hey!" "Well speak of the bot and they shall appear!" Everyone laughed at Sunstreaker's comment.

"So Sky, what are we having?" Skyfire smiled and gave his bonded a hug. "We are having a mech AND a femme!" Jazz smiled and gave Skyfire a hug. "Congratulations!" "Thank you. Wait where is-" Wheeljack put a servo over his mate's mouth. Skyfire whispered to his mate. "What was that for?" "Prowl had a memory relapse and Jazz was upset. For now he is happy. Try not to ruin it." Skyfire nodded.

A cycle later Jazz excused himself to answer a comm. :Jazz here.: :It is Ratchet.: Jazz tried to stay calm. He did not know if Ratchet's news was good or bad. :What is happening?: :Well Prowl is awake and he is asking for you.: :I am on my way right now.: Jazz ended the comm and took of down the corridor and skidded to a halt in front of the medbay doors. The doors opened and Jazz walked in. The medic smiled and pointed in the saboteur's direction.

The tactician looked where his carrier was pointing and he smiled. "Jazzy!" "Hey, Prowler. How do you feel?" "I feel pretty good. I missed you." The TIC took his lover's servos. "I need you to come with me." "Okay, where do you want me to go to?" "To the rec room, Skyfire has some news for us."

The two bots left and headed for the rec room. When they entered the rec room, everyone in there was excited that the SIC was back on his pedes. "So what is the news Sky?" Skyfire smiled. "Wheeljack and I are having a mech AND a femme." Prowl smiled. "Congratulations!" Skyfire nodded and gave his friend a quick hug.

"Thank you." Prowl smiled at his friend and left for his office with the TIC on his trail. "Where are you going?" " I Have work to do." "You have nothing to do. I did your work for you." The tactician stopped in mid stride and turned to face his lover.

Jazz was not sure what to expect. "You… did… my… work… for me?" The saboteur nodded slowly. "Yes… I did. You really needed some recharge so will you were recharging I did your work for you." "Thank you."

"You are welcome…" :Prowl?: :Yes Carrier?: :Can you and Jazz watch Jemma?: :Sure. We will come get her right now.: :Thank you. She is in our quarters.: Prowl ended the comm.

"Okay, forget work. Come with me." "Eh?" Jazz followed his bonded down the corridor. "This is your parent's quarters. Why are we here?" "Carrier asked if we could watch Jemma." "Are we taking her back to our place?" The tactician nodded.

The two bots picked up Jemma and took her back to their home. "Jazz?" "Hm?" "What do you think we will end up with?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, do you think we will end up with a mech or a femme?" "I really do not know. I would be happy with either. What matters is that it is a creation made by only two of us."

"How long until we can find out if the sparkling is a mech or femme?" "A little over a decacycle, at least." The SIC nodded and watched as his little sister wiggled around on the floor on her front. "Do you think Wheeljack and Skyfire will make good creators?" Jazz laughed.

"I have no doubt in my processor that Skyfire will be a good creator. It is Wheeljack that bothers me. He has a tendency to blow things up and he can't be a good creator if he is dead, now can he?" "True enough. What about us? Do you think we will make good creators?"

"I do not think so. I know so. I see how you treat your little sister and if that is anything to go by then you will be a wonderful sire to our sparkling."
