6 cycles later there was a knock at the door. Prowl answered the door and smiled. "She is in the living room with Jazz." "Hey love, Carrier and Sire are here to pi-" Prowl knelt in front of Jazz. "Love?" Jazz's optics flickered. "They are asking for us. But you came to tell us that didn't you."

"And yes baby, I am okay." Prowl sighed in relief. "But who is asking for us?" "Skyfire and Wheeljack. They had their sparklings early and even though they are stable they scared." Jazz handed Jemma to Ratchet and then headed out the door. Prowl hit a code in to the pad. "It is locked. You just need to close the door when you leave." The tactician took off after his mate.

They arrived at the med bay and TIC headed for Skyfire and SIC went to give Wheeljack support. "We came as soon as we heard." Wheeljack turned and smiled sadly at his friend. The inventor looked past his friend and saw that Skyfire was crying while Jazz rubbed his back soothingly. "Jack… it is okay to be scared." The inventor nodded. "So? Are you going to introduce me to these sweetsparks?"

"Meet Jaylon our son and Jacey our daughter." The sparklings onlined their optics and chirped happily. They reached their little servos out and the tactician gave them each a finger. Jacey chirped and let go. Her servo changed and she offered the SIC what looked like to be a tube. The inventor became concerned.

"What is that?" "It is a DAC." "A what?" Jazz came over with Skyfire right behind him. "A DAC. I learned about it in my medical class." "Baby, what is it?" Prowl looked back at his bonded. "It is nothing harmful. A DAC is a data access cable."

"It is one way sparklings interact with us before they learn to speak. Jacey is trying to tell me something." Prowl connected the cable to the port in his servo. He winced as Jacey started the information. "Does it hurt?" Prowl shook his helm. "She is not physically hurting me. It is what she showing me." Prowl opened his bond and let Jazz see what he was seeing. "Is that?" Prowl growled and nodded. "That is exactly who you think it is."

The two of them felt their sparks cry out. Prowl closed his bond and Jazz picked up Jaylon. "What are you doing?" Jazz gave the sparkling to Wheeljack. "You need to hold them. They can feel your emotions. They want to be close to you." Jaylon chirped happily and smiled up at his sire.

The SIC smiled softly at Jacey when the data ended and he carefully disconnected the cable. Prowl picked up the sparkling and gave her to Skyfire. "We will be back later to check on you. "Thank you, both of you." The tactician nodded and repeated a line that was once told to him.

"That is what friends are for." They both smiled and left their friends in the medbay. "Was that who I thought it was?" Prowl nodded and sighed sadly. "Yes. That was my ex, Incedio. I should have known. I should have known he would come after my friends." Jazz nodded and kept his concern inside. Prowl had just recovering from memory lapse about Incedio. Now would be the moment of truth. He was about to find out if Ratchet was successful or not.

"I will understand if you do not want to help…. But this needs to end now." "You realize that your carrier will flip if he finds out that I went with you?" "Right. You are carrying. Scrap that! You will stay here." "Are you crazy? You are going to go alone?" The SIC pulled his bonded in to a hug.

"I love you, Jazzy." "I love you too, Prowler. But are you seriously going to go alone?" "No. I will talk to my carrier first and then I will go find the twins. I know that they would kill me if I did not give them this chance." Jazz nodded.

"I will stay with Skyfire and Wheeljack. "I will come and find you when I get back. I promise to come back." Jazz nodded and watched as his bonded turned down the corridor.

Prowl hit his carrier and sire's door hard. Ratchet was standing there when it opened. The medic opened his mouth to yell and then shut when he saw the stone cold look in his creation's optics. "Prowl?" Optimus stood behind his mate.

"I would never normally ask you this. I would never normally come to either of you about this." "Prowl, what is wrong?" Ratchet was going to scold his mate for opening his mouth. But Prowl opened his mouth first.

"Whether you give me your permission or not, I am going to go. But I would rather you at least know where I am going. I can't let what happen to Skyfire happen to Jazz. This has to stop."

"You know what happened to Skyfire?" "Yes. It was Incedio. I do not know how he did what he did but I do know why. Skyfire is a friend of mine and Incedio saw him with me and he assumed he was my lover."

Ratchet growled and Optimus rubbed his back soothingly. "I have never asked either of you for anything. But I am asking you now, I do not care I you give me your blessing or permission but I am asking that neither of you stop me or try to punish me for what I am going to do."

He took a deep breath before he continued.

"Jazz already knows what I am doing and he was concerned I was going alone. But I promise you I won't. I will take the twins with me. It will give them what they want and keep them out of trouble." Optimus pulled his creation in to a hug."All I ask is that you come back in one piece."

"You are giving me your permission?" "In a sense yes… Whether I tell you can or can't go I know you will. You are protecting your bonded. I also know that what you are doing will protect most of this base."

Prowl nodded. "Carrier?" "I love you and I know you need to do this but please come back in one piece." Prowl nodded and gave them both a hug. "I will comm you when I am on my way back." They nodded. Once the SIC was out of audio range Ratchet felt his tears flow from his optics. Prime pulled him in to a hug. "He will come back."

The SIC went to the rec room and saw the twins on the couch and Ironhide was drinking his energon. "Sideswipe, Sunstreaker." The twins turned around and looked at their old friend. "Please tell me we aren't going on another rescue mission." Sideswipe hit is bonded up side the helm. "No Sunstreaker. This is not a rescue mission. This is an assassination mission and no, neither of you are the target." They both sighed in relief and then smiled at him. "Who we killing boss?"

"You know that Skyfire and his sparklings are in the medbay right." "Yes… We do not know much though. We only know that they were fine one minute and the next Wheeljack was in here and asked us to pray to Primus that his sparklings lived." "That is fine. They are all fine. However you both know what DAC is right?" "Data Access Cable, correct?" The tactician nodded. "Jacey showed me wh-"

"Do not mean to interrupt you boss. But who is Jacey?" "Jacey is their femme and Jaylon is their mech." They smiled. "Anyway! Jacey showed me who did it and I knew that the two of you would not want to miss the fight." "Who was it?" "Incedio." They were up from the couch and next to Prowl nan0-klicks later. "When do we leave?" "Whenever the two of you are ready." "Then let's head out boss."


An Orn later


:Carrier?: :PROWL!: :Hello to you to Carrier.: :You are alive!: :I told you I would comm you when we were on our way back.: :Is every one okay?: :Sunstreaker has a dented arm and Sideswipe and I have a couple of scratches but we made it out alive.: :I would feel better if the three of you came to the med bay.: :Okay. We will see you in about 5 klicks.:

The comm ended and a few klicks later they walked in to the med bay. "Prowl!" Jazz tackled his bonded and kissed him. "I missed you! Ratchet told me you were on your way back." Prowl wrapped his arms around his lover and kissed him back.

"I missed you too. So how did Skyfire, Wheeljack, Jacey and Jaylon make out?" "They are doing well. They were able to leave the med bay last night. They asked me to send you there way when you got back and had time." "As soon as the doc here is happy that I am not going to offline anytime soon, you and I can go visit them. How does that sound?" "Sounds good." They held each other until the medic spoke up. "Your turn Prowl." He turned and looked at the twins who were about to leave.

"Thank you for your help." They smiled back at him. "Thank you for letting us kick his aft. That felt good." "Try it felt amazing." The twins laughed and left. The SIC got up off the floor and sat on one of the medical berth and let his carrier run his scans. "Feel better now?" The medic turned to look at his creation. Instead of saying anything he pulled him in to a hug. After a few moments of silence the medic spoke up. "Thank you for coming back in one piece liked you promised." "I missed you too, Carrier."

Ratchet nodded. "You are free to leave now." The bot nodded and he and his bonded left. :Orion?: :Yes?: :Prowl and the twins were just in here for very minor injuries.: :Okay. Thank you for telling me.: The comm ended and Prime sighed in relief. He was glad that his creation had come back in one piece. He smiled to himself when he realized that he would get an unofficial report faster from the twins then he would his creation.

Prowl and Jazz arrived at the inventor's quarters. He knocked on the door softly hoping to not wake the sparklings up. "I hope I am not waking anyone up but Jazz told me that the two of you wanted to see me when I got back." The door slid open and Skyfire smiled at him.

"Thank you for coming and you did not wake anyone up." The Tactician smiled and entered the quarters with Jazz behind him. "Wheeljack and I wanted to know something." "Anything." "After Jacey showed you what she did, you left quiet quickly. We would like to know why if you are willing to tell us."

"Jacey showed me who forced you to have your spark twins early. It was my ex-lover, Incedio. He saw you with me and instantly assumed that you were my new lover. So he thought he would hurt me by hurting you. You surviving was a down side for him." Skyfire nodded.

"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and I spent the last orn looking for him and once we found him we offlined him. I told him that you had survived and that he had tried to kill the wrong bot. I told him that you were not my lover and that he would never come near my bonded. He was pissed off when he learned you survived and he was enraged when he learned that I was bonded to a bot other than him."

Wheeljack came out and sat next to his own bonded. "But I promise you that he will never bother any of us or any bot for that matter, ever again." "Thank you." Prowl nodded and held his bonded close to him. "I protect my friends. But this was also about my family."

Wheeljack nodded. "I understand. But still… You were there for us and now our processors can rest easy." The SIC gave both his friends hugs. "You are welcome. If you ever need anything, you know where to find me." They both stood and watched their friends leave their quarters. Their processors really could rest easy now.

"What do you want to do now, Prowler?" He kissed his bonded. "I want to make up the time for the orn I was gone." "That can be arranged." Jazz gently squeezed his lover's servo.
