After Ironhide and Prime got everything picked up, they sat in front of Prime's desk for a bit. They talked about the human boy that was with Sideswipe. "Why would Sideswipe have a human boy with him, Prime? Is he tired of being around his brother?", Ironhide asked.
"I don't know, Ironhide. Why don't we find out", said Optimus. Then he called Sideswipe.
"Yeah Prime", said Sides.
"Will you please come to my office. And bring your human friend, too", Prime said.
"We'll be right there, Prime. Sideswipe out", he said. Then he cut the comm. link.
"What's up, Sides? What was that about?", Chris asked.
"I don't know, Chris. But Optimus wants to see us in his office right now", Sides said.
"I guess we shouldn't keep him waiting, should we?", said Chris.
"Nope. Let's go, little buddy", said Sides, as he picked Chris up. Then he put Chris on his shoulder.
When they got to Prime's office, Sideswipe knocked on the door. "Enter", Prime said.
Sideswipe walked in with Chris on his shoulder. "Have a seat, Sideswipe. Your friend may get down and stand on my desk, if he wishes to", Optimus said.
Sideswipe took Chris off his shoulder and put him on Prime's desk. Chris looked scared of Prime.
Optimus noticed this. "Don't be afraid, young one. My name is Optimus Prime. I am the Autobot Leader. What is your name?", asked Prime.
"C-Chris. Chris Stratos, sir", he said.
"It's nice to meet you, Chris. This is my friend, Ironhide", Optimus said.
"Howdy Chris. How'd you meet up with this red terror?", Ironhide asked, as he pointed to Sideswipe.
"Sides isn't a terror, you oversized tin can!", Chris yelled.
"Watch it, boy! I'll smash you right onto this desk like a fly!", Ironhide yelled back.
"Enough Ironhide! That was uncalled for", Prime said.
"Ah, sorry Prime. I don't know what came over me", said Ironhide. Then he looked at Sideswipe.
"Sorry for lashing out at your friend, Sideswipe. We good?", Ironhide asked.
"Yeah, we're cool, 'Hide. But it's not me you need to apologize to. It's Chris you need to apologize to", Sides said.
Ironhide nodded then apologized to Chris for lashing out at him.
"Apology accepted, 'Hide. Sorry for calling you an oversized tin can. But to answer your question on how I met up with Sides. I was attending the college on Cybertron, when it was attacked. I was the only survivor when Sides found me. He brought me back to Earth, had that crazy medic take a look at me, then I headed for Sides' room to chill like the crazy medic told me to", Chris said.
"Ratchet may be a crazy medic but he's good at what he does, Chris. How did you end up on Cybertron?", asked Optimus.
"My parents were exploring the outer regions of space, and I was with them when the shuttle was attacked. I watched as my parents were killed. I was only 2 yrs. old when it happened. I was taken in by this guy, I think he was a guy, anyway, I was taken in by him. He was black and white with a red something on his forehead. He changed my last name to Prowler after he made it official that I was adopted by him. When he had to leave, he told me that I could live in his apartment while I was in school. I've been living on Cybertron all my life. Til now, that is", said Chris.
"So, you haven't seen him since he left Cybertron, huh? Would you like to know where he is now?", Prime asked.
"Yes, I would. Do you know where he is, sir?", Chris asked.
"Yes, I do. He's here. Sideswipe, would you take him to see his adopted father, please?", asked Prime.
"Sure thing, Prime. Let's go, Chris", said Sides.
On the way to Prowl's office, Chris asked why his adopted father would be here and not on Cybertron.
"Well Chris, it's a long story. You might want to ask your adopted father about that. Here we are, Chris", Sides said, as he knocked on Prowl's door.
"Go away, Sideswipe! I'm busy with paperwork!", yelled Prowl.
"I have someone here who wants to see you", said Sides.
"Very well. I'll let him in. But I warn you, Sideswipe, if this is one of your pranks, I'll have thrown in the brig for life. You hear me!", Prowl said.
"Loud and clear, Prowl", Sides said. Then he looked down at Chris.
"Good luck, little buddy. He can be a pain in the aft, but deep down, he's a nice guy. I'll see ya later, Chris. Let me know how it went, ok", said Sides.
"No problem, Sides. Thanks for rescuing me from the Decepticon attack, Sides", Chris said.
"Just doing my job, Chris", Sides said.
As the door opened, the black and white 2IC looked up from his work to see the red terror and a human the Prowl recognized as his adopted son, Christopher.
"Christopher Prowler? Is that really you? I thought you were still on Cybertron", Prowl said.
"I was, until the Decepticons decided to attack the school. I have no idea what they were after. Good thing Sides was around when I was buried under the building", Chris said.
