'The Affair' Tfp Fanfic

Chapter 18

Dark Shadow's Pov.

I got in my alt mode after the children and started heading out of town. I had used a ground bridge since I didn't know the area yet. "This truck is so awesome!" I chuckled softly to myself as Miko geeked over my alt. "Yea Carrier, it very much suits you." I looked to my daughter as she looked at it too. "Yea but I thought you'd be a jet, like um..." I looked in the rear view mirror as Jack paused.

"Like Megatron." I finished for him as I turned my optics back to the road. "I do have a jet mode much like my twin, I'm what ya call a triple changer. Which means I just have an extra alt mode compared to most only having their bot and vehicle mode." I explained, knowing they probably had no clue what I meant. I knew for a fact that none of team prime had the ability. "Wait so you can transform into a truck and a space jet?" I only gave a firm nod.

I shook my head slightly as Miko started asking a tone of questions. Tho I stopped her so I could comm the base. "Shadow here, need a ground bridge. And no rush or anything but I might end up taering my audio receptors out it miko continues with her questioning." I spoke "Ay!"I chuckled at Miko as she pouted slightly. "I'm only pulling your leg kid." I smirked back to her.

"Sending a bridge now." I heard Ratchet say over comms and drove through the bridge as it opened in front of us. I came out and parked on the otherside, I watched the children get out as I opened my door and stood in it as I looked up at Ratchet and Optimus. "Told ya I can handle it. You worry to much sometimes." I huffed as I was ready to transform but stopped at hearing miko.

"Wow, you have some wicked scars." I looked down at Miko as she stood below me. I looked down at my body as it indeed was covered in scars. "Yes...our Holoforms are supposed to represent us. That includes scars we got over the years..." I looked away as I most of my scars came from being in slaved in the mines, along with my twin.

"Cool! Did you get all those from fighting? I bet ya won." I smiled gently at Miko's curious nature but sighed softly. "Yes some of the scars you see are from my years as a fighter in the pits." I spoke as I stepped down out of my alt and shut the door. Turing to the children, Miko of course circled me as she checked out each scar. "If only a few are from fighting, what are the others for?" I looked down to Raf.

I was silent a moment before I looked between them and my daughter as she still was in her Holoform. I never showed my scars to either my sparklings but knowing she'd just ask later. I looked back to Raf "From being in slaved. Before me and Megatron were even in the Gladiator pits, we were workers. Both of us and many others being forced to mine the energon on cybertion for the higher ups." They all went silent before Jack spoke "they look like they hurt."

"They did." I added as I lifted arm as I had a long scar running up the side of it. I clutched my hand slightly as I quickly made my Holoform disappear and transformed. "Goes to show how harsh our world was to those born less fortunate." I glanced up to Optimus a moment as he looked back to me. I looked away as I turned and walked away.

I hoped you guys liked it.
