Find Me (You Saved Me Series Book 3)

Spill the Beans

Dreadwing is put through and intense therapy session from Ratchet. He is unable to even transform at this point. There was so much damage. Weeks go by and Shelby never leaves his side. She makes sure he does the exercises. She even does some with him. Time goes by and both are beginning to heal. The closeness and able to be together has help immensely. They have yet to talk about what had happened, but the time to finally sit down and go over it, is coming. Dreadwing is able to walk on his own and ready to try and transform. Not without going over what happened since the last time they saw each other.  

"Shelby, I think we need to talk about what has transpired over the past few years." Dreadwing mentions as they walk through the halls of the Autobot base. 

"Why do we need to talk about it?" She says without looking up. 

"A lot has happened to both you and I, and I think we need to get it off both our chests." She nods, understanding his viewpoint. 

"There is much I can't tell you, unfortunately. Because it may alter the future if I do." She admits. 

"I need to know what happened to you after I lost you."

"You didn't lose me. I was taken. They ripped away me from you. My father wanted to gain control back and the only way to do that is to tell you that I died." 

"I thought your family was dead."

"I thought they were too. I never got answers to what happened. It's like they faked their death and vanished until it was a good time to come back. I remember seeing my mother and brothers' bodies. I remember it so vividly. They kept telling me it was a dream. I was in my coma for too long. I was supposedly still overseas when the explosion put me in my coma. But obviously that was a lie. You guys are real. You all remember me. It all had to have happened." She explains what she can. She still has been unable to get the answers she wants. 

"You brought me back to life. You saved me and I couldn't save you. When we were finally able to get you off the ship, Megatron had already tried to kill you. Knockout was able to keep you stable, but he knew you needed to go to a hospital. I couldn't stay with you. Agent Fowler and June kept an eye on you for us."

"You didn't have your holoform chip put in?" She wondered out loud. The look on his face told me everything. He had no clue what I was talking about. "Forget I asked."

"No, what are you talking about?" He insisted, picking her up and bringing her closer to his face. 

"I can't talk about it. It hasn't happened yet. I don't want to alter the timeline to much." She whispers, not that she has to, but it came out that way. 

"But the timeline never happened. So shouldn't matter if you tell me." He whispers back. 

"There are things that happened that are already beginning to happen that I saw. Like the Icon relics. The whole database. I know about it all and I know how it all ends. I know things that will happen and we are not prepared for it. I also need to protect my family this time around. I need to save my brother. I know he's working with my father, but I need to sway him, change his mind." 

"Then why not just tell us what will happen? It would make everything so much easier. We wouldn't be waiting for Prime to figure out database to figure it out." She understand what he's saying, but she is afraid it will alter so much of the future, if the future is what she saw. 

"But what if I'm wrong?" 

"You know the answers to code?" Her head whips around and see Smokescreen. "Why wouldn't you want to tell us?" 

"Smokescreen, you weren't supposed to hear that. I only know what I supposedly saw in my coma. I could be entirly wrong. I don't want to say something and then it makes the situation worse." She tries to explain.
