When Mikaela asked Ratchet to train her as Autobot medic, Ratchet knew that that was a bad idea, even if the young lady believed she was ready to deal with the injuries of her friends.
Looking at the body of the young, yellow mech in the berth on her left side, she understands her lacks of judgement. Ratchet can bet that the Bee's Optics, dark and lifeless, will follow her forever, he experienced it at first hand. And even if the old docbot faced more death than everyone can understand, he feel guilty for not be able to save their little youngling.
Sure, they manage to transfer Bee's spark in the new host body, but comparing to the Cybertonian's life expectation, the 80 years they give to the youngling seems nothing. But that gives them more time to try to find a more permanent solution.
(I'm sorry Bee, I failed you with your voice box after Tyger Pax, and I swore I will never let you down again, and now I just fail you again)
Ratchet looks at the teenager body on the other, littler, berth. The docbot followed the Chameleon Project from the start. Technically speaking, this project was really advantage and state of arts even for Cybertonian's standards: Every body was developed mixing human DNA and cybertronian CNA, to allow the compatibility between body and spark. The first prototype was the one for Bee, and the young scout was so excited for the idea of test it in a couple of weeks. He told Ratchet he wanna surprise Sam and Mikaela with his human body, and he wanna go with them in the shopping center and to the cinema.
Ratchet knows that all this fascination of Bee with humans is also due to the fact he never had experienced a childhood, and he never had been with friends equal in age, and the idea of interact with them peer to peer was the reason he volunteer himself for this experimentation.
(Thanks to Primus for this little miracle, if this accident had happened a month earlier, we would have lost our youngling forever.)
The young, human, boy in the berth start to trembles and shakes and, suddenly, he sit with a scream.
Mikaela was on him in no time, trying to comfort him.
Bumblebee's last memory was of a huge, green Peterbilt truck running on a red traffic light.
He remembers of turning himself to protect Sam, and he remembers hitting the pole of the traffic light, but after that everything is hazy, and for sure he cannot figure out why he is on a berth with a Mikaela taller than him and with a huge Ratchet tower over them both.
But he is an Autobot scout, so his first priority is for his duties:
"Where is Sam? Is he ok? Does he get injured in the accident? And why you both looks so gigantic?"
Mikaela's hand is on Bee shoulder, leading him to lie down.
"Hush Bee, Sam is ok, is ok…"
"Yes youngling, your charge is safe, and you just became the first autobot in a human body"
"oh" not the Bee's most eloquent answer ever… he turns to Mikaela "surprise?" he looks apologetic at least and Mikaela cannot resist anymore and hugs him as tied as she believes he can survive without break. Well, to be fair, it's not so tied since the hasten grown makes Bee's new body looks skinny and pale and fragile.
Ratchet looks at the two teenagers and goes out to report to everyone about their scout situation.
