Ratchet looked closer.

"No they're not…Optimus yours is different than Megatron's..."

"Oh…Then who has the matching mark?"

"I don't know." Megatron looked down, feeling the awkwardness in the room and left. Nova followed him.

"Ratchet I'm never going to find who my destined mate is…"

"You don't know that Optimus. Just look. Maybe you should try looking for Elita and seeing if her mark matches." He nodded and went to look for Elita. Elita was sitting with Luna in the rec room.

"Elita?" She looked up at him. Atlas stirred.

"Elita can I see your destiny mark?" She held out her left servo. The marks matched perfectly. Luna squealed.

"They match Mama! They match! Does that mean that Elita gets to be your mate?" Elita held Luna close.

"That's what it means Luna." Nova watched from the entrance, tears ran down her face and she ran out and to the Nemesis. Optimus sat next to Elita. Elita put her servo on his so that their marks touched. She smiled up at him.

"Yay!" Luna squealed. Atlas awoke and whined.

"Be quieter Luna. You woke Atlas." Optimus rocked him back to sleep and sighed.

-later-

Elita curled close to Optimus' side. He gingerly put his arms around her shoulder.

"I have loved you for so long Optimus. I always wanted to bond with you. I knew you had to be my destined mate." He held her close.

"Why are you so quiet Optimus? Aren't you happy?"

"I am Elita. I'm just very tired. I was under a lot of Stress today."

"Oh? How so Optimus?"

"Nova refuses to speak to me and she says she going to live with her sire from now on…I don't want to loose her…"

"Oh she's just being a brat Optimus. Don't worry about it. If she wants to be a brat let her be and just make her live with her father. We can be completely happy with just Luna and Atlas. Nova is just a brat."

"Elita I love her. She's my daughter too! I can't stand the idea of never seeing her. I need all my children around me to be happy."

"Don't worry about it Optimus. She's just a brat. She can stay with her sire. It doesn't matter. She's always been trouble for you anyway." Elita traced the seam of Optimus' spark chamber.

"Let's bond Optimus. So we can be together forever."

-the next day-

All of Nova's possessions were gone. Optimus stared at what used to be her room. Even her recharge blanket was gone.

~Optimus. Come here. I need you~

He sighed and walked to his and Elita's quarters. She held Atlas.

"He won't stop crying Optimus. I don't know what's wrong with him." Optimus took the sparkling into his arms.

"Oh Atlas…please stop crying…" He rocked him.

"Nova is gone…" Luna looked at him.

"Good," Elita said, "If she was just going to be a brat that we couldn't handle then it's a good thing she left." Luna nodded. Optimus stayed silent.

-on the Nemesis-

Nova cried in Megatron's chest.

"Daddy I hate her! She was calling me a brat! I heard her! And mama wasn't saying anything back! I HATE HER!" She sobbed harder. Megatron held her close.

"I hate her too Nova…" He cradled her close in his arms.

"Mama is a traitor! I don't want to call him that anymore! I already blocked our bond…I don't want to be related to him anymore!" Megatron tried to calm his daughter down. He could feel the pain she was feeling. It hurt him as much as it hurt her. Nova cried bitterly.

"I can't see him anymore daddy! He doesn't love me anymore!"
