Lost and Found (TFP)

Chapter 14: Getting hurt.

LOG: 11/6/2021

For the next few days, the bots have been monitoring their mother closely and perhaps got too close for comfort. Walking towards her working space, Anna sighed for the umpteenth time of the day as she hears the tell-tale footsteps of her younglings.

Turning around, she saw her trusty grumpy medic and his best friend looking at her innocently.

"May I help you with something, Ratchet and Optimus?" Anna asked, bending down to their level. Ratchet huffed in reply before scanning his mother while Optimus merely smiled and hugged the lady.

"My scwanner shows that you're fine..." Ratchet said uncertainly. Anna raised an eyebrow at the medic as she lets go off Optimus.

"That is the same result just like all of the previous time you've scanned me, right?" she replied. Ratchet shuffle in his peds before getting pulled into a hug from Anna.

"I know you bots worry for me, but I assure you I'm very fine and well now, okay?" Anna said tenderly to the orange and white medic. Ratchet smiled and nodded in approval of his mother but still gave her his usual medical warnings.

"If I see you doing any strenuous activi-"

"I'll be strap down to the bed by you. Yes sir, loud and clear." Anna smirked at as she finished his threat. Ratchet huffed in reply and rolled his optics, though the cyan optics of his shone with playfulness. Anna laughed and ruffled his helm and brought them out back into the living room.

Her light-hearted mood evaporated as she saw her living room was in chaos. Megatron was in the middle rustling with Starscream, the latter screeching but was cut off by the Decepticon leader shoving his cannons onto the seeker's face in warning.

Ultra Magnus and Wheeljack were bickering heatedly with each other while Knockout was taunting Bumblebee, waving his sharp talons at the Autobot scout's face. Arcee was yelling threats at the Decepticon CMO, her servos thrashing angrily at Knockout.

Bulkhead was wrestling with Breakdown; the two heavy duty bots were in a stalemate. Smokescreen and Dreadwing were having a staring contest, the former pursing his dermas as he concentrated on beating the calm Decepticon warrior.

Soundwave was playing random recordings on his visor by the corner, Laserbeak neatly tucked in his lap.

"Are you guys done fighting, or do I have to break you guys up?" Anna had her hands on her hips, looking at her children reprehensively. The bots shot up immediately at the sound of their mother.

Megatron jumped away from Starscream, the latter scrambled away from the silver gladiator's reach. The Decepticon warlord grumbled in his breath when he saw the annoying Autobot leader holding his mother's hand while giving him a disapproving look.

Megatron huffed and walked away, only to be grabbed by the nape.

"And where do you think you're going, Megs?" Anna spoke. Megatron hissed and fussed as he tried to put the blame on the seeker.

"Starscream started it first!" Megatron balled his servos and glared at the mentioned bot. Anna said nothing which irked the Decepticon leader even more.

"If you want to punish me then get along already!" he snapped, growling at Anna. Optimus was about to step in when Anna merely took Megatron's servo and led him to her workspace.

The red and blue leader wanted to follow but was declined by the human lady.

"Give us a moment, please? As for the rest of you, explanations will come due." Anna said sternly and brought Megatron into her work room, leaving the kids to reflect about their actions.
