In the morning, Lancex woke up and found two strong arms wrapped around him. Following the arms back to their origin, he found Scourge and Evac snuggled close, each with an arm wrapped around Lancex. Lancex blushed a bit as he felt the hot breath of Scourge and the cool breath of Evac. Lancex didn't want to ruin this picture, and so, he went back to sleep, snuggling between the other two bots.
A few hours later, Scourge and Evac woke, and both smiled when they saw Lancex snuggled in between them. Both gave the bot a kiss, one hot and steamy while the other was cool and sweet. They didn't want to leave the bot, but they felt obligated to do so as they had things that needed to be done. They carefully headed out, leaving Lancex to rest.
As Scourge headed out, he couldn't help but think about Lancex and what had just occurred. They had bonded. Lancex was a sweet bot who was powerful and could submit, though that didn't mean he could carry, at least to Scourge. The dragon bot was hopeful that Lancex was able to do so.
As for Evac, as he headed out, he also thought about all that had happened. True, he never thought he would have mates or a family, but now that he was bonded, he just hoped that Lancex felt loved and wanted. And while sparklings would be nice to Evac, he would love Lancex regardless If the bot could carry or not.
A short while after Scourge and Evac had left, Lancex woke to find himself alone. He felt the hot and cool kisses on his cheek, but he now kind of understood how Optimus felt being left alone without a word to the wise. But feeling that he needed to get up and go, Lancex got up, checked his systems, and then headed out, seemingly unaware that Scourge and Evac had left Undermine and Brimstone to keep an optic on the bot. So when Lancex headed off, the guard pair followed. They were following orders, but they also wanted to talk to the bot.
As Lancex headed out, he received a comm. It was from Optimus. Lancex took the comm, fearing that Optimus would react badly if he didn't. Optimus merely asked if Lancex ever planned to return to earth. Lancex thought about it. Family meant much to Lancex and he didn't want to "abandon" his brother again. Lancex explained that he was just visiting Jungle Planet and would return soon. Optimus, grateful that Lancex wasn't going to disappear again, thanked Lancex and signed off. And it was only once Lancex got off the comm that he realized he had a tail. What did these two want was all that Lancex could think and hoped they weren't there to harm him. He was prepared either way, but he hoped he didn't have to use his weapons.
