Linley came out of recharge and found a note for her. 'Jemma commed me, she and her creations wanted to meet the twins. Comm me if you need me.'
She commed her bonded. :Hacks?:
:Yes, Linley? Everything okay?:
:Yes. You still with Jemma?:
:I am. Do you need me to come back?:
:No no. I have my shift soon. I just wanted to check up on you and make sure everything was okay.:
:It is. You sure you are ok?:
:I'm sure.:
:I love you, Linley.:
:As I love you, Hacks.:
Linley got her morning cube of energon and left for her shift once she finished it. She entered the base and she heard some yelling as she walked past her sire's office. She tried to comm her sire. :Sire? Sire? You there? Sire, Is everything okay? Hello? Sire?: She got no response. :Carrier?:
:Everything okay sweetspark? You seem concerned.:
:I was coming in for my shift and I was walking by sire's office and I hear some yelling. But because of the sound proofing I can't tell who is doing the yelling and I'm concerned because he isn't responding to my comms.:
:Ah… Well I'm sure it is your sire that is doing the yelling. He isn't hurt if that is what you are concerned about. The twins pulled a prank… again.:
:Ah and I'm now sure if I hurry to the med bay I will find their victim.:
Jazz laughed. :Most likely.:
Linley cut the comm and walked in to the med bay. "What the-" Linley looked around and saw pile big enough to be spare parts for 5 bots and at least that many bots in stasis.
"Good morning, Linely. Care to lend a servo?"
"No problem First aid. Where is Ratchet?"
"Helping Wheeljack."
"Did he blow himself up?"
"No, the prank that the twins pulled made his lab explode and now the inventor is magnetized to the wall. Skyfire and Ratchet are trying to help him become de-magnetized."
Linley nodded and went over to help First aid. "Why aren't the twins in here helping? I mean, they were the ones who did this."
The older medic looked up from what her was doing for a moment to look that the femme and then went back to what he was doing. "I don't know. They are probably too busy get a pointless lecture from Prowl." Linley smiled as she thought of something. "Can you handle this for a few klicks? I have an idea."
"Sure, as long as your 'idea' won't get me in to trouble."
"Promise." The femme smiled and left the med bay. She stormed down to her sire's office and knocked. She got no answer and continued to knock for a few more klicks but she continued to hear the muffled yelling. So she tried a comm again. :Sire?:
:Yes Linley? What can I help you with?:
:I want to know if I can come in?:
:That was you knocking on my office door?:
:Yes. I tried to comm you earlier as well but you never responded so I commed carrier and he told me what was going on.:
The doors swished open and the twins took their chance to escape. However Linley was a little quicker and had her arms out and knocked them down. Prowl laughed. "You really do take after your carrier."
She smiled. "Thank you sire."
"Anyway, how can I help you Linley?"
"I have come for these to slag helms. I need their help."
"We are willing to do anything to get out of listening to mister boring slag helm over there talk." Linley growled and kicked Sunstreaker's side in.
"That is my sire you are referring to and you will NOT talk to him like that. Do I make myself clear?" Sunstreaker groaned and nodded. "I'm sorry Sunstreaker, I can't hear helms rattle."
"Yes, Linley."
:…And you have the temper of my carrier.: Linley merely smiled at her sire.
Sideswipe spoke up. "What you need us to help with can't be any worse than this."
Linley glared at the red bot. "I highly doubt it."
The SIC smiled with pride at his oldest creation. "They are all yours, Linley."
She smiled and then glared at the twins. "Are you two going to get up and walk or am I going to have to drag both your fragging tail pipes behind me." Prowl started to snicker. :Prowl?:
:Yes Jazz?:
:Are you okay?:
:I couldn't be better. I am watching Linley yell at the twins. She has already knocked them down. She kicked Sunstreaker for disrespecting me and now she has threatened them, that if they don't get up and start walking she is going to drag them.:
Jazz started laughing. :Oh… That is rich. I wish I could have seen that.:
:Well my sneaky saboteur… There is a camera in my office pointing right at the door.:
:Thanks for the idea babe, you know… I thought I might have been a bad influence on you… but I think it is the other way around. Later! Gotta go find that tape!:
Prowl laughed as he cut the comm and watched as his daughter dragged the twins away. Prowl smiled smugly to himself. His bonded was in for a good laugh.
Linley dragged the bots in to the med bay. "Why the frag did you bring them here?"
"I am tired of fixing their pranks. I'd rather let them do the work."
First aid scoffed. "Ratchet would love to see that."
"Well then. I'll comm him. I can't let him miss out on the party." :Grand-carrier?:
:What can I do for you Linley?:
:The twins are in here about to start working. First aid told me I should invite you.:
:That is really funny Linley.:
:Does the main console in Wheeljack's lab still work?:
:Yeah why?:
:Then tap in to med bay camera one.:
:Holy frag! You weren't kidding! Okay then, Skyfire and I just got Jack out of the wall. Be there in a few klicks.:
Linley cut the comm. "Hey Dumb and Dumber! Do me a favour. Go sit in the corner and keep quiet until Ratchet gets here."
They didn't move.
"Do I have to drag your fragging tail pipes to the fragging corner too?"
Just then Ratchet came in carrying Jack with the help of Skyfire. "Okay dumb and dumber, time to get to work." The twins did what they were told and after 10 cycles every victim of their prank had been fixed up and sent on their way.
"Are we done now?"
"Yeah, we did everything you asked."
"I'm done with the two of you, yes." Just then Prowl and Optimus walked in. "But they aren't." Ratchet and First aid started to snicker and Linley pointed behind the twins. The twins looked where the femme was pointing and they groaned. "Come on! This isn't fair! We did what we were told to."
"Yeah! We did everything and didn't have to be told twice."
Linley smiled. "That may be true. But it does not matter. What the two of you did was and is, still wrong."
"But we served our time!"
"Yeah! We've been here for 10 cycles."
"You didn't serve any time while helping in here. All you two did for the last 10 cycles was give us three medics some entertainment. You will still have to serve whatever punishment, Prime and our SIC decide to give both of you. Both of you are idiots and you would think that you would have learned after all this time."
Prime left with the twins. "So do you really think they learned their lesson, Linley?"
The femme looked over at First aid. "No. But like I said to the twins, what they did for us was 10 cycles of entertainment."
Linley gave her sire a hug. "I'm proud of what you did today, sweetspark." Linley smiled.
"What did she do?"
"Well you saw what happened while you were here. As to before that… She kicked their tailpipes." Prowl tossed a tape to his carrier. "Don't let anyone know you have that."
Linley smiled. "I'll see you both tomorrow." The femme left with her sire. "Does carrier know?"
"He does."
"And?"
"He found it funnier than I did."
"Oh?"
"Mhm. You know he has a better sense of humor then I do."
"That is true, sire."
"However he does agree with me that you take after him and my carrier."
"Is that such a bad thing, though?"
"Not if you use it the right way. Today was a good example of using it the right way, Linley. Then again… I don't think you have ever used that in a bad way." The tactician smiled.
"So you and Carrier aren't mad?"
The SIC laughed. "Far from it sweetspark. Both of us are proud of you. Not only did you put the twins in their place, but you also stood up for me."
"I stood up for you for 3 reasons, sire."
"Oh? And what 3 reasons are those?"
"Well to start, you are my sire. Second off, you are our SIC which makes you a senior officer and lastly… I respect you. Not because you are my sire, or because you are a senior officer. I respect you because as a living, breathing bot, you have earned it."
The tactician held his daughter close. "I love you Linley."
The femme smiled. "I love you too, Sire. Do you think we can go see, Carrier and Kadin?"
"Of course, sweetspark." The two bots smiled as they headed down the corridor.
