Bumblebees pov:

I start to wake up and see a white fabric material above me. I'm in a tent of some sort....... The MED TENT........ HIGHFIRE. I bolt up and look around for any sign of him. I'm pressed back down and out of instinct activate my battle mask and get ready for a fight. "B-127 its me ratchet" I hear him say. i deactivate my mask and stop struggling and look up. A concerned ratchet was looking at me from above."r-ratchet...... Where's highfire" he smiled and let me up. "I'm ok just a little wounded" I look over he has big bandages across his back where his wings should be.  "Y-your wings......this is all my fault I'm so sorry" I plead I should have just kept running and no one else would get hurt. "no its not your fault I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time" I shook my helm. "No you were there because of me"

 I say and let my helm hang with grief. He placed his servo on my shoulder. "I don't blame you its not your fault" he tries to comfort me. "it is my fault I should have just kept running and no on else would get hurt" is my reply. He hung his helm saddle. "and leave me behind" I remembered my promise to him. "Highfire I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that" I apologize and he nodded his helm to except it. "Mmmmh you tried to ditch again did you not" I forgot ratchet was next to us. "yes" I add knowing I'm going to get a wrench to the helm. "Now normally I would chuck this wrench at your helm but you injured enough so you lucked out...... Just don't do it again or I will come get you myself" he instructed me. "I don't think that will be a problem"

 I say and look at highfire remembering our promise. He nodded and then looked at me with sorrow in his optics. "B-127 I will never fly again" I looked at him he was on the brink of breaking down I could tell. "Then well walk" I say and put my servor on his shoulder. He smiled happily at me but I could tell he was still sad. "Well ratchet let me guess I'm going to be here longer" I say. "Yes and this time you aren't to leave this tent without my permission" I grumbled and looked around. The white fabric was splattered with energon stains. I hate being here and even less being in here. "It ok at lest were here together" highfire spoke. I gave a shrug of agreement. "what time is it" highfire asks. "morning" ratchet replied and walked out into the camp. "And just like that were alone" I say and highfire laughs. 

It's been a few days now and rainshot and Cascade have come to visit us often. But being cooped up in here has made me slightly think about leaving again but I won't. "Your good to leave but no patrols and do not leave the camp. Go easy got it" ratchet delivers the good news. "Yes ratchet" we replied in unison. And get up and walk out of the sick smelling tent. "I never thought I would miss the smell of outside" I nodded in agreement and we were instantly meet with a wave of concerned bots. they started asking us a million questions at once and I just stared blankly back at them. "STOP BOTHERING THEM OR THIS WRENCH IS GOING TO BOTHER YOU HELM" I hear ratchet yell over the crowed. its instantly silent except for a few mermers. "thanks ratchet" I say as I turned to face him. 

I watched as rainshot and cascade were nervously waiting at the edge of the dispersing crowed. my door wings perk up at the thought of them. we walk over together and greet them. "so dose it feel nice to get out of what" rainshot comments. "you have no idea" highfire said elbowing me in the side. "this one snoses like the pits of kaon" I look at him bewildered. "no I don't" I learned from a young age that I don't snore and wow is it a good thing in the war. "alright fine you don't I just wanted to see if I could trick you" I glare at him and get a smirk on my face. "yeah I don't but you do" he looks at me. "really" I shrug and don't give him a answer. this will mess with him. "cascade do I snore" cascade shrugs and rainshot catches on and dose the same when highfire turns to her. "ugggg you guys are just a bunch of scrap piles" 

"yeah whatever Mr.i snore" cascade replied and highfire gets a annoyed and fun look on his face. "so you only care about me when I'm injured" he mocked. "no its just ratchet wont let us get away with is in there" rainshot replied. I laugh and look around to see Optimus walking to us. I nuge highfire who turns and looks. he and rainshot plus cascade instantly form a salute. I don't because it was almost rude for a non autobot to salute a leader that wasn't theirs. he had a stern yet happy look on his face but also slightly disappointed. I knew that one was for me and droop my door wings. "sorry Optimus" I say and hang my helm. "I am disappointed with you but your courage and persistence more than make up for it..... I just wish you would have told me what you were feeling" he pressed and I felt sadness come over me than annoyance. 

"why so you could force me to stay here longer because  your 'concerned about me' then when i'm ready to you just abandon me like all the other bots " i could feel the shock from my friends behind me and the slight shock from optimus. "B-127 i-" i knew how disrespectful it was but i cut him off. "whatever captain" i said and walked off.  i could hear my friends apologizing for my actions. i grumbled my wings pressed against my back. if i had never been brought here than highfire would never have been hurt. i continue walking and walk past other bots who over heard the conversation. I fell some one stop me by putting their sevor on my shoulder.
