"Good morning, Ratchet, Sam." When Jolt heard Sunstreaker's thunderous roar he hadn't cared much. Bumblebee could basically get away with (almost) anything, his puppy like aura, wide blue optics, and youth played a key role in it, even humans fell for it. Curiosity stirred within Jolt, what in Primus' name had Bumblebee done to enrage Sunstreaker? "Sideswipe?"
Seeing Sideswipe not moving, face down on the ground was concerning, Sideswipe was usually always on the ready. (With the trouble Sides is always getting in, why not.)
"Jolt help me out with Sideswipe. He seems to be paralyzed." Ratchet interrupted Jolt before he could question him.
After a few moments, Jolt and Ratchet had successfully managed to get Sideswipe on a berth with Sam sitting on his chassis. Sideswipe was starting to get agitated; he didn't like not being able to move and was starting to get panic. He couldn't fidget and felt vulnerable. What was worst, Sunstreaker wasn't with him.
The twins were clingier to each other, more than ever since they had been separated. Both twins hadn't taken the separation well. Sunstreaker had been in some type of deep stasis, injured, amnesic, and was difficult to feel with their twin bond. Sideswipe knew Sunstreaker was alive and Sunstreaker knew he was missing something. (Sideswipe may have developed Separation Anxiety, not a major case though.)
"Jolt, go locate Ironhide, Bumblebee, and that youngling of mine, I want them in medbay." Ratchet wanted Jolt out of the room so he could calm Sideswipe down. "Take Sam with you as well." (Ratchet is responsible for the twins as they're about 17-19 in human years.)
Jolt nodded, he picked up Sam from Sideswipe chassis and placed him on his shoulder as he left.
Ratchet quickly scanned Sideswipe after Jolt and Sam had left, the scans showed something temporarily shut down some of his systems for a bit.
"Calm down Sideswipe, you'll be fine. Your system should be up and running soon."
With Sideswipe not seriously harmed Ratchet could call First Aid over and go after Bumblebee and Sunstreaker himself and haul them into medbay himself but decided against it. He knew sooner or later Ironhide would walk in with Bumblebee or Sunstreaker over his shoulder with the other trailing behind. It would be even faster if Ironhide's creator programming came online. (Ironhide basically raised Bumblebee and the twins are practically his nephews.)
Ratchet started preparing medbay, staying within Sideswipe's sight and even opening up the caretaker's bond he shared with the twins.
"So, Sideswipe what happened?" Ratchet asked.
"Ironhide let me go!" Sunstreaker yelled.
This was quite an amusing sight for Jolt, Ironhide had just caught Sunstreaker with one arm wrapped around the youngling while Bumblebee was hiding behind Optimus and an irritated Prowl. Bumblebee would have fled if not for one of the older mechs holding his wrist.
"Would someone please explain what is going on?" Optimus voiced.
"Yes, would someone please tell us why we were awoken in such a manner on this glorious, peaceful day?" There stood a scowling, coffee deprived Major Willian Lennox, sarcasm practically dripping from his voice. Lennox had attempted to get a coffee first before trying to find the cause of the early morning disturbance but had woefully failed, the handle of his coffee mug now broken was evidence. Will didn't even know how it happened.
Ironhide whined internally, a coffee deprived Lennox was a pain to deal with. With Will being his charge, he would have to deal with his ill-natured attitude.
"We're sorting out the matter now, William." Prowl knew a grumpy charge equaled an equally ill-tempered guardian, worst in Ironhide's case, he was liable to reduce the training room targets to ash if he didn't work the soldiers under him into the ground first. "Jolt, take Lennox to get some coffee and possibly a new mug."
"Sure Prowl, come on Lennox." Jolt placed Sam, who had been on his shoulder on the ground. "By the Ironhide, ratchet wants Bee and Sunstreaker in Medbay." Jolt when on his way with Lennox trailing behind him peering over his shoulder once or twice.
Once Jolt and Lennox had disappeared from view Prowl said to Optimus. "I'll be leaving you five now, Optimus. I don't think my processor can handle the truth to come, plus it may be that William isn't the only one that's been disturbed this morning." The cop car passed his hold on Bee to Optimus and walked off.
Optimus simply nodded at Prowl before staring at Bumblebee, who had his puppy face out, then Sunstreaker who was glaring at Bee before remembering Sam. Optimus turned his attention to Sam.
"Sam, by a chance, do you know what is going on here?" Optimus asked the Witwicky boy standing in awkward glory.
"Kinda." Sam started. "But can I tell you on the way to Medbay, I rather not another nest personnel come around."
"Very well, Sam." Optimus offered his hand for Sam to climb aboard for a quicker trip to Medbay and there he began his tale.
