Thank you for reviewing everyone!: The Whispering Sage, JJ, Gry21, RIDfan123, Aloris2.0 the great, Ellie and the six Guests!

The Whispering Sage: Well, actually, in the very near future, the main couple will sparkbond with no problems beside these annoying 'cons.

Guest: I've been meaning to include Hank but I just forgot! I'll do my best to include her soon when I can slide her into an episode smoothly.

JJ: THEY ARE! I'm so happy. I hope the allusions to their relationship advancing in this chapter makes you happy! I'm so sorry to keep you waiting for so long! Your reviews always make me so happy, I look forward to them after every update. I hope to keep impressing with the story!

Gry21: I actually like the Soundwave idea. I may include something like this in his chapter. Thank you!

Aloris2.0 the great: I'm so glad you love it! I makes me so happy and motivated to know people do love it still. I know it never did anything but my twilight stories have stolen my brain power. I have re read every chapter in Silent Romance and RID so hopefully I can keep turning out chapters.

I'm so, so, so, sorry to keep you all waiting. Nursing school is exhausting and I've not been able to commit to writing the way I want. I've re-read everything though as I mentioned to Aloris. So hopefully I'm going to be able to write more for this story again.

Even if don't update for a while, I'm not going to give up on this story. We're going to finish the series in this show, even if it takes more than four seasons.

Anna hummed a Spanish song to herself as she was going over some files in the hanger. She was using her holoform since she was going over human report files regarding all the cases they've had the past month. She was lounging on a couch, reading them all and taking notes as to which ones were dealing with Decepticons.

That was until a certain human woman walked up the stairs, popping a bubble she blew with some gum as she did. "Anna!"

Anna sighed as Miko flopped onto a couch across from her, in her style of professional dress. "Shouldn't you be working?"

Miko shrugged, pulling out her lunch from her bag. "I'm on lunch break." She began eating while facing her friend. "What's up? Why aren't you with your team?"

Anna laid the files to the side, noticing that Ratchet was in the back working on something still. Fowler wasn't in his office today, so they were alone. "Well, Bee and I spent the night here. When we got up, Bee went back to base. He told me to stay since I had some work to do here. They're out on a mission right now. They know to call me if they need help though."

Miko held up her hand, "Wait, backtrack, sis. You and Bee spent the night here, again?" She smirked while winking at Anna. "You've been doing that a lot. Are there going to be any sparklings in the future?"

Anna's face went blood red at that. "Miko! Oh my Primus." She covered her face, groaning. "We've been careful. There's no way I'm pregnant. We want to wait for that."

Miko squealed loudly, clapping her hands together. "Oh girl! You finally had the birds and the bee's moment, huh? A few times it sounds like."

Anna groaned at the pun, sinking down in the couch. "Yes… A couple of times. We haven't fully spark bonded yet, but we've gotten closer since we agreed to soon."

Miko got up and hugged Anna tightly, a sincere smile on her lips. "Really, I'm so happy for you, Anna. I know you've been waiting for this for over five years. You both deserve to be this happy." She then sat back down, popping a piece of chicken in her mouth. "But I want to be god mom to any little primes running around here."

"Anna, you're pregnant?" Raf looked horrified but excited at the same time as he climbed the stairs to them. He was in actual professional dress, his lunch bag on his arm. "Oh Primus, that means you and Bee…"

Miko giggled as Raf sat beside her, "Did the birds and the bees."

Anna and Raf both groaned at the pun, Raf shoving his burrito in his mouth. "Gross."

Anna shook her head at her brother, "I'm not pregnant, Raf. I promise." She then raised an eyebrow at Raf, "I saw you flirting with a certain field agent. Someone with blonde hair and brown eyes."

Raf blushed now, avoiding eye contact with the two females. "Garcia's just a friend."

Miko snickered, "Even using her last name to try and hide the attraction. Nice."

Raf narrowed his eyes at Miko, "We're not profilers. Don't profile me."

Anna laughed, shaking her head. "Well, Peyton is a very nice woman. She's smart, strong and beautiful. If you really like her, you should ask her out."

Raf pushed his glasses up, sighing. "What if I'm not good enough for her? Besides, she doesn't have the clearance to know about the Autobots. What if she accidentally finds out."

Anna leaned over the table to pat his leg, "It will be okay, Raf. Don't get ahead of yourself. If something does happen, we'll handle it."

Miko wiggled her eyebrows at Raf. "I'll be the wing woman."

Raf laughed, shaking his head. "Thanks, I guess, Miko."

Anna smiled at her friends, going back to going through the paperwork. That was until Bumblebee pressed against their bond, some fear going over their bond. Anna dropped her holoform, transforming from her spot by the exit. She ignored the looks she got from the others.

Bee, what's wrong?

Sideswipe is missing. We were investigating a 'con signal and he arrived first. We heard him yell out over the com system, but he never answered back. We just arrived and he's no where to be seen.

I'm going to bridge myself to your location.

Okay, be careful. I'll see you soon. I'm sorry to drag you in, I know you have work to do for Unit E.

It's okay, this is still my work as well. Fowler understands. I'll see you soon.

Anna moved to the platform, looking down at her friends. "I have to go investigate a Decepticon signal. I'll call in when I have time." She waved slightly before walking through a ground bridge she made. She walked through to see she was in a subway tunnel. The team was still standing there, minus Sideswipe.

Bumblebee moved to her side, squeezing her hand. "Thank you for coming."

Anna nodded, "Of course. Do we know anything yet?"

Fixit piped up, raising his hand. "I can't pinpoint the locations of the Decepticon or Sideswipe."

Anna sighed, nodding. "You wouldn't be able to in these tunnels."

Bumblebee faced the other three. "Alright. Grim and Strongarm, you two will search the eastern subway tunnels." He motioned to Fixit next. "You, Anna and I will search the western tunnels." He looked at all of them then. "Any questions?"

Grimlock raised his hand, "Uh…"

Strongarm patted his side, "Eastern is this way, Grim."

Grimlock nodded, "Ah, thanks."

Anna smiled at him, "Just be careful, Grim. Keeps your audials open for any sign of the 'con."

Grimlock frowned down at Strongarm, not understanding the human saying. Strongarm just shrugged at that.

Bumblebee chuckled at them before getting serious again. "If you find Sideswipe, make sure he stays with you, any way you can."

Strongarm smirked, holding up a pair of stasis cuffs in her hands. "Stasis cuffs?"

Anna laughed, shaking her head. "Keep those in the bedroom." Strongarm gaped at Anna, sputtering before heading off to the eastern tunnels, Grimlock laughing as he followed her. Bumblebee just laughed, heading off to the west with Anna and Fixit following him.

{X}

Bumblebee turned to Anna, gently holding her hand again. "What were you doing before I called you in?"

Anna felt Energon rush to her facial plating, making her blush blue. "Well… Anna was teasing me about us… She asked if we were going to have little versions of us running around."

Bumblebee nearly tripped, sputtering. "Sparklings!?"

Fixit gaped up at them, "You're carrying!?"

Anna quickly waved her servos at the mechs, shaking her head vehemently. "No, no! I'm not pregnant and won't be for a very, very long time." She vented when both mechs relaxed, relaxing herself. "Miko was just teasing me." She rubbed the crown on her helm, walking ahead of the two of them. "Raf is going to ask out a girl he likes at work, or I hope so. He's been pining after her for a while."

Fixit looked up at Bumblebee as Anna began rambling about a Garcia person. He mouthed the words sparklings up at the lieutenant.

Bumblebee shrugged, looking panicked but also contemplative. He might have thought about having sparklings with Anna briefly since they found each other again. It had never been a serious thought or in depth. Anna wouldn't be safe if she was carrying right now, and she probably knew that. Though…

The thought of spark bonding with Anna and producing a new lifeform with her, their own child… The child would look like a mix between them and would no doubt be amazing. They couldn't be anything else with a Prime as a mother and a warrior for a father. A father… Bumblebee as a father? He was always considered one of the youngest on the Prime team, even over the many years the war lasted. He was the leader of his own team now, handling the Decepticons on Earth.

Could he really see himself raising a sparkling of his own? The thing was… Now he could…

"Strange."

Anna stopped rambling, turning to see Bee snap to attention. Fixit was looking at his map, frowning. "What is it?"

Bumblebee frowned, peering down at his map. "Did you lose the signal?"

Fixit shook his helm, "No. Quite the opposite, lieutenant. I'm getting two signals, both which are reading as Sideswipe. I'm not sure what's causing the echo, but the stronger signal is this way."

The three of them had come to an end in the road, so to speak. There were two tunnels splitting off from the one they were in. The stronger signal, according to Fixit, was the one to the right.

Bumblebee placed one servo on his hip, the other gesturing to the tunnel. "Sideswipe, when I said not to wander around the subway alone, what did you hear?" Bumblebee gasped as he saw a piece of the track flying towards them. He dodged out of the way, Anna dodging away from them as well.

Anna frowned over at the mini-con, glad he was alright. "Fixit, is that really Sideswipe?"

Fixit frowned down at his data-pad, pursing his lips in frustration at the readings. "Yes and no?"

Bumblebee raised his arms up as Sideswipe jumped at him, attacking him. Bee began blocking his attacks while calling out to Fixit. "I need a better answer!" He then groaned as he was kicked into a wall, kneeling to catch his breath and shrug off the pain.

Anna quickly ran in front of her mate, blocking Sideswipe's next attack. She then gasped as she noticed it was a different helm on Sideswipe's body. "What in the ever-loving fuck?!"

Bee got in front of Fixit, guarding him as Anna kept the strange person back from them. "Who are you? Where's Sideswipe!?"

The person smirked at them, motioning to his body, or Sideswipe's body really. "Right here. Well, most of him anyway."

Anna blocked his attack again, pushing him against the wall roughly with a huge surge of AllSpark energy. She smirked as the person groaned, having to recuperate from the pain.

Bumblebee growled at the guy, coming up to stand beside Anna. "What did you do to him?"

The 'con stood up slowly, regaining his composure. "Your Autobot's speed, his agility, they're amazing. This test run is going splendidly!"

Anna dodged as the 'con swiped at her, blocking his next attack. "You haven't been able to get me down yet, though!"

Bumblebee watched his mate carefully before glaring at the 'con. "Where is he? Tell me!"

The 'con laughed as he dodged Anna's punch, moving around her easily due to Sideswipe's reflexes. "The remainder of Sideswipe is resting comfortably." He mockingly smirked at Anna. "All his attribute, they're mine now. With his help, those fools on Cybertron will regret ever crossing me. Not that they'll recognize me in this body, of course."

Anna growled at him, grabbing his arm when he stepped around her. She slammed him into the ground, kicking him away. "Shut up!"

Bumblebee growled again at him, "I won't let you reach Cybertron."

The 'con laughed mockingly at Bee know, dancing around Anna easily. "Strong words for a mech hiding behind a femme."

Anna growled at that, shooting at him causing him to duck and roll away. "Strong words for a mech who has to steal abilities since he's so pathetic on his own."

The 'con's gloating expression turned hard at her insult. He glowered at her, getting in an offensive position. "Take that back."

Anna crouched as well, her anger trying to take over. She was trying to stay calm, but it was hard. Her teammate was in danger and this 'con stole his body! "If you show me where Sideswipe is."

"Never." He then began running at Bee, closer to him than the femme was. He punched Bee so hard he was sent into the wall. Bee was dazed from the hit and couldn't move. The 'con then punched Fixit, making his fall onto the ground as well. He barely had time to dodge Anna's attack after that.

"Lieutenant, Anna, no sign of the fugitive or Sideswipe."

Anna couldn't reply as she was consumed with her anger. She ran after the 'con, "You're not hurting another one of my teammates!"

The 'con smirked as he ran down a tunnel, making Anna follow him. It was all according to his plan now. Bee would call in reinforcements. He would be able to fight Anna more, including the rest of the team. This test run really would be amazing!

{X}

Bee groaned as he sat up, rubbing his sore helm. He saw Fixit on the ground beside him, helping him up. "Are you alright, Fixit?"

Fixit nodded, shaking his helm to focus. "Yes, sir." He looked around, frowning. "Anna and the 'con are missing."

Bee felt his spark freeze in his chest, looking around quickly. "Anna!?" He cursed before turning to Fixit. "Check the Alchemor's manifest loaded in your portable scanner. Scan for any Decepticons who have advanced scientific training."

Anna, come in! Anna!

I'm fine, Bee. I'm chasing the 'con. Are you okay?

I'm fine. You're heading towards the others. They'll help you. I'll be on my way soon. Be careful, Anna. He's swift like Sideswipe and we can't damage Sideswipe's body.

I know, I'll be careful.

Bee sighed before contacting the other two. "Strongarm, Grimlock, come in."

Strongarm replied first, "Sir, are you and Anna alright? We heard-"

Bumblebee cut her off, not having time to waste. "Listen, a 'con is heading your way. It's not Sideswipe though it looks like him. Anna is on his tail, she will help you." Bee bent down to look at Fixit's screen, reading off the information to the team. "A Decepticon named Vertebreak connected his had to Sideswipe's body."

Grimlock shook his helm, "That's nasty."

Strongarm frowned, her servo going over her spark as she thought about Sideswipe having to go through that. "Primus…"

Bee quickly continued, "Sideswipe is apparently still alive. Fixit's pulling up his full story now."

Fixit talked over the com, including Anna in the system now. "Vertebreak was part of Crystal City's Science Council. He studied the surgical techniques of other worlds, disciplines such as unauthorized cyber-grafting." He paused as he heard the whole team shudder and mumble at that. He continued, feeling the same as his team. "That's what the Council thought. Vertebreak was expelled, and swore revenge. Fortunately, he was locked up on the Alchemor before he could put a plan in motion."

Bumblebee stood up, frowning. "Now he's picking up where he left off, only he's using Sideswipe's body."

"Don't worry, sir. We'll make sure Vertebreak doesn't get used to his new look." Especially since she wanted to kick his aft for daring to hurt Sideswipe.

"You read my mind cadet."

Anna chimed in, still following the 'con through the tunnel system. She was getting tired of how fast he was, not wanting to waste her AllSpark energy on chasing him down yet. She should wait until she was with the team. "We'll get your boyfriend back together, Strongarm."

"He's not my boyfriend!"

Bumblebee smirked before looking down at Fixit, ending the team conversation. "Fixit, you still picking up that echo on your scanner?"

Fixit nodded, looking up at Bee. "Yes, but the other Sideswipe hasn't moved an inch since we arrived."

Bee nodded, "Good. Lead me to him."

{X}

Anna heard her team just up ahead, gaining a little on Vertebreak at last.

"Okay, Grim, we go on my signal." There was silence except for the train rushing by, then Strongarm cried out, "Go!" Vertebreak easily tackled Grimlock through, just as another train rushed by them.

Anna arrived just in time to see Vertebreak kick away Strongarm's weapon. "Back away from her, 'con!"

Vertebreak faced both femmes, smirking. "Neither of you stand a chance. In this form, I'm practically unstoppable."

Grimlock stood up then, punching his fist into his other servo. "You don't mind if I test that, do you?"

Vertebreak turned to face him, laughing. "Oh, on the contrary, I'd love it!"

Strongarm rushed to attack Vertebreak herself, keeping him back. "No, Grimlock! We don't want to hurt him."

Anna nodded, waiting for an opening to attack him as well. "Exactly. No matter how much I want to pulverize him, we can't hurt Sideswipe's body." She gasped as Strongarm was pushed against the wall, Vertebreak holding her arms at a point to where they could break, and she couldn't break free. "Strongarm!" She and Grim tried to rush to her, but a train rushed by and separated them.

Grimlock groaned, bouncing up and down to see over the train, "Come on! One more minute, Strongarm!"

Anna glared in his direction, "If you hurt her, when we put you together I will make you wish you were never sparked!"

Grimlock rushed forward when the train ended, only to end up on the front of another train. "Ah! Anna!"

Anna cursed, "Grimlock!" She couldn't just leave Strongarm with this 'con to go after Grimlock. "I'll get you soon!" She then rushed forward, kicking Vertebreak away from Strongarm. She then stood in front of her teammate, blocking her from view so she could recuperate.

"Everyone, Sideswipe and I are on our way."

Anna looked down to see that Strongarm was out. She must have been punched before she got there. She glowered at Vertebreak, stomping towards him. "What did I tell you about hurting her."

Vertebreak looked scared now. He backpedaled, trying to regain his composure. "You can't beat me with this new body!"

Anna cracked a joint in her neck, crackling her knuckles as well. "Oh, I can, and I will. Only I won't hurt your body. I'm going to punch the lights out of the ugly helm of yours!"

Vertebreak looked very nervous know, especially when he heard the Dinobot coming towards them. He took off running, hoping to lose her.

{X}

Bumblebee ran into the intersection of tunnels, looking around for his team. He frowned when he couldn't spot them, or hear anything. Sideswipe was looking as well, easily spotting Strongarm on the ground. "There, there!" He then groaned, remembering. "Right, I can't point." He vented, looking up at Bee. "To your left!"

Bee ran over to the left, spotting the blue body crumbled on the ground. "Strongarm!" He sat Sideswipe down as he helped her up. "Strongarm."

Strongarm groaned, regaining consciousness. "Lieutenant…" She frowned, leaning against the wall. "Vertebreak must have knocked me out."

"Hello!"

Strongarm looked up to see Sideswipe's helm floating in a glass jar. She screamed, holding out her arms in fright. "Primus!"

Sideswipe snickered, "Guess maybe I should have given you a heads up." He smirked at the looks he got from them both for the pun.

Strongarm then laughed nervously, "Hey, Sideswipe. Lo... Looking good."

Bumblebee then touched Strongarm's arm, gaining her attention. "Where are Anna and Grimlock?"

Strongarm groaned as she got up. "Grimlock got hit by a train. I tried to help but I couldn't shake Vertebreak. I don't know where Anna is. She was rushing to me when he knocked me out."

Bumblebee cursed quietly, trying not to worry. His mate could take care of herself. He then looked up when they heard a commotion. He could hear Vertebreak crying out, as well as Anna and Grim. He turned to the cadet, "Grab Sideswipe and follow me." He transformed, racing off towards the others.

Strongarm grimaced as she picked up Sideswipe's head, being very careful but wary of holding his life in her servos.

"I'm not contagious!"

Strongarm vented as she jogged after her lieutenant, "I know! I'm just worried about dropping you."

Sideswipe gulped, "Yeah… Don't do that."

{X}

Anna ducked as Grimlock swiped his tail at the 'con. She then jumped up, kicking Vertebreak away and into the wall. Grimlock tried to grab him but the 'con easily evaded him, going after Anna again.

Grimlock growled, "This'd be a lot easier if my teammates would just let me punch you!"

Anna grunted as she blocked his next attack, pushing him away and trying to trip him. "Vertebreak, it takes one good shot for me to get your helm!"

Bumblebee turned to Strongarm when she arrived. "I'll go high, you go low."

Strongarm sat Sideswipe down, rushing after her lieutenant. "Roger that."

Sideswipe sighed, "I'll just stay here then."

Anna fell back as Grimlock, Strongarm and Bumblebee began going after Vertebreak, taking a breather.

"Remember not to hurt my, Ah!" Sideswipe then groaned when Grimlock got punched in the snout. "Come on, Grim! You didn't see that coming? He's practically waving a flag before he hits you!"

Grimlock looked like he'd seen a ghost when he saw Sideswipe yelling at him, his helm floating in a glass jar. "Sideswipe!?"

Anna opened a ground bridge under Sideswipe, making it open above her. She held out her servo, catching him. "Hey there."

Sideswipe vented in relief when she caught him. "Don't do that!" He then looked up at her, "Anna, please, help me get my body back!"

Anna looked up just in time to see the team knock the 'con out. She quickly jogged to him, kicking him in the helm for good measure. "Hmph."

Sideswipe smirked up at her, before he noticed a train coming up on them. They were in a tiny tunnel, with no room to evade it, "Anna!"

Anna looked back, cursing. She quickly opened a ground bridge, sending everyone to the intersection.

Sideswipe then looked up at everyone, glad for the break. "Nice job. It took all of you, but you subdued my nerd body-jacker. Now let's stitch me up so I can go back to being the hero of this team. What a nightmare."

Anna looked up as Bee rubbed her shoulder. "I'm alright, Bee." She then peered down at Sideswipe's helm. "This thing… it's providing you with Energon but not for long."

Sideswipe nodded quickly, "Exactly! Can you fix me? Fixit is stuck going over that wacko's notes!"

Anna frowned down at him, her processor going over the schematics of a normal 'bot's body. "Maybe… I'd want to scan the notes first though."

Strongarm groaned as they saw the 'con move, not wanting to have to deal with him again. "Scrap!"

Vertebreak stood up, smirking at them. "Thank you for the save, Autobots."

Bumblebee shook his head, "Five against one, Vertebreak."

Sideswipe spoke up, "Well, four and a half."

Bumblebee continued, venting. "Do you really wanna take us all on again?"

Vertebreak rolled his shoulders, "You may have caught me off guard for a moment, but now I can put this form through some new paces." He then brought out Sideswipe's staff, "Weapons training!"

Bumblebee frowned, rushing towards him to attack. "Autobots! Let's Verte-break him!"

Sideswipe groaned as Anna sat him down against the wall safely. "Wow, Bumblebee is really running out of battle cries." He groaned more when he saw the team trying to fight him, but his body was too agile and quick for them. "No, Grim aim for the head, not the body. The head!"

Anna ran over and punched Vertebreak away from Sideswipe's helm, protecting him. She then kneeled next to him, peering down at him. "Sideswipe, I know a way you can help."

Sideswipe looked up at her, his expression looking hopeful. "Really?" He then frowned. "How can I? I'm just a doorstop right now. I'm useless."

Anna shook her helm, "No. You're not useless, Sideswipe. You know yourself the best. Can you examine his fighting style and call out how to block him?"

Sideswipe watched Vertebreak easily dodging Strongarm and Bee, nodding his helm. "Yeah, I can do that." He smiled up at Anna. "This is why you're a Prime." He felt better already, even without his body back.

Anna smiled at him, patting the glass. "You're smart, Sideswipe. You'd have figured it out on your own. I'm just tired of dancing around this creep." She then rushed into the fray, ready to kick this con's aft.

"Bee, block left!"

Bee blocked the staff with his left arm, throwing Vertebreak back.

"Now right!"

Bee did the same to the right, throwing him towards Strongarm.

"Strongarm, left jab."

Strongarm quickly reached him, attacking his left side. Vertebreak couldn't block fast enough, falling to the ground. Anna used the chance to run up, kicking him and sending him flying.

"Ouch, Anna! Quick, Grim, flank him!"

Grimlock came up, using his body to catch the 'con, watching as he crumbled to the ground.

Bumblebee smiled at his team, "Nice work, everyone." He then smirked, "Way to put our heads together."

Anna groaned at the pun while Sideswipe was grinning like mad, glad to be of help.

{X}

Anna raised an eye ridge as Strongarm pulled Fixit back, Fixit saying he was done. "Are you sure?"

Fixit nodded. "If I read the notes correctly, Sideswipe is now fully functional."

Sideswipe began mumbling on the berth, the first intelligible thing being Strongarm's name. Strongarm leaned in, frowning, "What's that, Sideswipe?"

Sideswipe smirked up at her, "You even worry slow."

Grim laughed, clapping his servos. "Oh! Head-back-on-body burn!"

Sideswipe sat up, slowly getting up. "Hope you sewed me up tight, Fixit, because I can't wait to get home on my own four wheels."

Fixit shook his helm, "Go easy, Sideswipe. I can't be certain I repaired everything until we return to the Alchemor."

Sideswipe waved him off, "Pfft, no worried. If this mission's taught me anything, it's that I'm way more than just my speed." He smiled over at Bee and Anna who were cuddled together against the wall. "Of course, even just out of surgery, I'm still the fastest 'bot on the planet!" He began punching the air in front of Strongarm to show off.

Strongarm smirked down at him, "Care to put your servos where your synapses are? Race back to the scrapyard, loser picks up the winner's patrol duties for a week."

Sideswipe leaned in close to her helm, smirking. "You're on."

{X}

Strongarm and Sideswipe were in position to race, waiting on Anna's cue.

"Go!"

Strongarm transformed, racing out of the tunnel. "Better hurry, Sideswipe!"

Sideswipe had run forward but his body locked up, not able to do anything other than walk. He couldn't even transform. "Fixit, what gives?"

Fixit shrugged, "I told you, I couldn't be sure I connected everything properly."

Bumblebee glanced at them, "Well, I think it can wait until we get back to base." He then smirked at Sideswipe. "At least, until Sideswipe picks up Strongarm's extra patrol shifts." He then kissed Anna's helm, transforming and racing off after Strongarm.

Grimlock grinned as he ran after Bee, the 'con's unconscious body around his neck like a scarf. "I've always wanted to know what it's like to be faster than somebody!"

Sideswipe groaned when he watched Grimlock run past him. "Ah, scrap."

Fixit grinned up at him, "Well, don't worry, Sideswipe. I'll stay right by your side until we're home."

Sideswipe groaned as he began walking beside Fixit, until he remembered Anna was behind them, hearing her laughing at them. "Anna! Oh, Anna, please, bridge me back!"

Anna smirked as she walked up to them, "Nah. I think this will humble you some, fastest mech on Earth."

Sideswipe groaned as Fixit began rambling about the operation. "Anna, please, I'll die by the time we get to the scrapyard."

Anna laughed when Sideswipe hung onto her like a child, begging her. "Please! I'll do anything!"

Fixit smirked up at Sideswipe. "You could take her patrol shift for her. She and Lieutenant Bumblebee have been having romantic nights together. They could use the time to bond more."

Sideswipe shot up at that, a huge smirk on his face. "Oh, really? You and Bee have interfaced?"

Anna covered her helm with her servos, trying to keep her cool. "…. Yes."

"Oh my Primus! Finally! We've been waiting for you two to get it on."

Anna gaped at Sideswipe before she opened a ground bridge behind her, back stepping through it. "And I'm out at that statement."

"Wait, Anna, don't leave me! I'm sorry!"
