Mirage enjoyed the reassuring hug. He had needed it after revealing what he had to his siblings and mate. "If your creators were not already dead…" Optimus started.
"But they are dead, Optimus. They didn't heed the warning your parents gave out and were easily slaughtered due to their arrogance" Mirage revealed.
"How did you learn that?" Optimus asked, confused. The others wanted to know as well.
"I befriended a bot who used to be a minion for Megatron. He revealed to me what had happened to the pair once I revealed I was Prince Mirage" Mirage revealed. "He said they went quick."
"They deserved to suffer for what they did" Boltlock replied.
"Even though I suffer from what they did to me, I learned long ago hanging on to hate and unforgiveness only hurts me. Forgiveness isn't for them, it Is for you" Mirage replied gently, showing wisdom he had gained through the years.
Boltlock and the siblings were shocked, but Optimus smiled behind his mask. "We can forgive and still not forget what they did?" Skyballer asked. Mirage nodded and the five continued to talk.
Meanwhile, with Bee and Jumper, Jumper began to prepare a sparkling safe version of Bee's favorite energon. It wasn't a hard flavor to find, but it did take a bit of know how and time to make it the way bee liked it. Jumper wanted his mate to feel loved and supported after the whole fiasco with the visit down memory lane of Mirage's less than stellar bearer and sire.
Once it was ready, Jumper brought the energon to Bee, who was just waking in the berth. "For you, love" Jumper stated, handing over the energon.
Bee gratefully took the offered energon and took a sip, and then was in shock. "You… you made this? For me?" Bee asked, shocked.
"I did, and don't worry, I also made sure it was safe for you to consume while you are sparked" Jumper replied, before giving his mate a safe kiss on the cheek.
Bee smiled gratefully and slowly imbibed the sweet liquid. "Thank you so much, my love" Bee then said with love. Jumper snuggled close to his mate. For now, the little femmes were elsewhere, and so once Bee was energized, Bee found Jumper taking care of the older bots other need. Soon, Bee was out cold once again, but he was happy, and Jumper was resting with him.
