-A Few Days Later-

"Do you really trust Megatron Optimus?" asked Elita. Optimus looked up from caring for Atlas.

"Yes Elita. I trust him completely. He will not hurt Nova. Yes, he has done things in the past but I trust that he has changed. He is starting to be caring like he used to be...before he turned against the council...before the War began...He's beginning to return to the Megatron that was once my close friend." Elita looked unconvinced.

"Yeah but what if he's putting on an act? Because wasn't it rather surprising when he complied so quickly with peace? And that he surprisingly agreed to take Nova? What if he's planning on using her again?"

"Elita...I trust he has changed. He is trying to be a good father to his daughter. She is a part of his own spark. He has a bond that was established at their creation just as I do. And he wants to rebui-" Optimus was cut off by Elita.

"-To take it over! Optimus this could all be one big scheme! Megatron has never been a good bot. He has always resorted to violence! He was a gladiator for Pit's sake! I don't care if he has a bond with Nova and Luna or not! He's evil! He always will be evil! He always will be because he consumed dark energon! The blood of Unicron! He will always be in some kind of contact with Unicron from now on!" The Prime sighed.

"You didn't know him like I did Elita...He was a good bot. I listened to his ideas. I knew his mindset. And the dark energon has long been flushed out of his system. He is there sire. I don't care how he acted in the past but as long as he treats them like a sire should treat his creation then that's what I care about. The twins deserve to have their sire in their life." Elita crossed her arms.

"I still don't trust him. He's evil and always will be. You can't stop being evil!" Atlas whimpered and began crying.

"Elita your yelling is scaring Atlas." She stormed out. Optimus sighed and sat down, rocking Atlas. His cries softened.

"I'm going to need to go get your sister. I don't think Elita will be speaking to me for a while so I will take you with me so I don't bother Ratchet. He's busy." The Prime stood up and walked out of the base before going out of the base. He carried Atlas close and made his way to the Nemesis. Megatron was outside with Nova waiting. Nova was running around chasing another sparkling. It looked to be a femme with red and navy armor.

"Nova your mother is here," said Megatron. She looked up and stopped. The other sparkling stopped as well.

"Mama!" Megatron looked at the other sparkling.

"Sterling your mother is probably looking for you. You should get back inside." Sterling ran inside. Nova ran to Optimus.

"Atlas! You brought him! Hi Atlas!" Nova patted his helm and smiled. Megatron walked over.

"Nova did you have a good time?"

"Yes! Daddy played with me and told be stories and introduced me to the sparklings on the Nemesis! I have two new friends now! Sterling and Twilight! They're really nice mama!" Megatron smiled at her and she hugged his servo.

"Luna needs to come next time mama! She needs to meet Sterling and Twilight!"

"You can try convincing her."

"I will!" Optimus looked up at Megatron.

"Thank you for taking care of her."

"It was nothing. She is our daughter so I have to have help with her." Atlas whined and Optimus bounced him.

"He's hungry. We need to get home. Come on Nova." Optimus held out his servo for Nova. She hugged Megatron.

"Bye daddy."

"Goodbye Nova." She giggled before going to Optimus and holding his servo. They started back to the base.

-Later-

"Mama! What did you do to 'Lita?!" cried Luna. Optimus looked up from Atlas.

"Luna what are you talking about?"

"She was crying! She said you made her cry! Why did you make 'Lita cry!?"

"Luna, Elita and I just had a fight. It's nothing you should be concerned about."

"But Elita is awesome! She's really nice!"

"Luna."

"Mama you're a jerk!" Luna ran off. Nova stared.

"What's wrong with Luna?"

-In the Lab-

"Hey mom?"

"Yes Wheeljack?" Wild Flame looked up, taking off his goggles.

"Do I have an older sister?" The white mech went silent and Wheeljack looked at him, waiting for an answer.

"Y-Yes…half-sister…"

"Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"Because….I gave her up…for adoption…"

"Why?"

"Because I was stricken with grief because her sire died during the war and my mental state was declining and I didn't know if I could actually take care of her. I thought it would be for the best if I gave her up for adoption. She would be more likely to have a good family with both a mother and a father."

"But why did you never tell me about her?"

"Because there was a slim chance that either of us would ever see her again. Your sire didn't even know about her." Wheeljack looked at him.

"So? You could have at least told me about her. Like what was her name? And who was her sire? And what she looked like. Mom, you can trust me. Just because dad was an untrustworthy bot doesn't mean I am."

"I do trust you Wheeljack. I just…I just…didn't want to bring up painful memories."

-The next day-

"You should come next time Luna! Sterling and Twilight are awesome! And daddy told me lots of stories!"

"No."

"But you'd have fun!"

"No. I won't."

"Yeah you will! And daddy wants to see you!"

"Do you not remember what he did to us?! To you?! Nova he's crazy! Don't trust him! He's gonna pull something again! Sire isn't a good bot! He's gonna hurt us again! I just know it!"

"No…He's changed…Luna he's better now…He won't hurt us now…" Nova looked down and whimpered softly.

"What's gotten into you Luna….you're not the same…" The eldest ran off.

-A week later-

"Nova, Luna come on. We're going to be late." Nova ran to Optimus and Luna grumbled following behind Nova.

"I'm not going to like this."

"I can't wait to see daddy again!" Nova grabbed Optimus' servo and smiled.

"I know Nova."

"Mama I don't want to go." Optimus looked at his youngest daughter.

"At least give it a chance. Your father wants to see you."

"He's not my father!" Nova frowned and looked down. They walked to the Nemesis. Megatron was outside and talking to Soundwave.

"Daddy!" called Nova. He looked in their direction.

"Hello Nova, Optimus, Luna."

"Hello Megatron." Nova ran to Megatron with a smile and hugged him. Megatron patted her back gently. He looked at Luna.

"Hello Luna." She growled and crossed her arms. The silver mech frowned a bit. Optimus looked at her.

"Luna say hello to your father."

"He's not my father. He's just my creator...He never cared for us…He just wanted to use us. That's all he'll ever want to do with us." Nova clung to Megatron.

"Luna apologize!" said Optimus.

"No! Elita is right! He's evil! He will always be evil!" Luna ran back to the base. Nova whimpered. Megatron stared in the direction Luna ran in shock.

"S…She doesn't trust me…I guess she never will…" Optimus looked at Megatron. The silver mech looked at Nova and picked her up.

"Megatron I will talk to her."

"You don't have to Optimus. If she doesn't trust me then she doesn't have to…I understand why she doesn't trust me…I wouldn't trust me either. It's life."
