Chapter 104: A One Time Deal

Ratchet didn't know why the girl wanted to come to him for comfort. He certainly didn't exude waves of calm and peaceful energy that the humans would be attracted to; that was more of an Optimus thing. The aged Medic was more of a grumpy caretaker of the Autobots that begrudgingly put up with their occasional stupidity (thank Primus Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were stationed several galaxies away, otherwise stupidity would be a daily occurrence!). He supposed he was the closest substitute for a familiar adult at the moment, and if it would stop the crying...

"Just this once." He sighed.
