Transformers Rescue Bots - The Past

60: Take Five - S

Blades and Heatwave come home to an interesting sight.
____________________________________________________________________________________________

It was nice to finally be on break from the academy, it had been quite some time since they have been able to head back home with how classes have been. Chase was somewhat happy to get away from the academy but was surely going to miss spending time with Blades. Boulder was surely thrilled to see his family, but then also ranted of what his family life was like for half the solar cycle.

Blades and Heatwave both sort of trampled through the doorway, somewhat relieved to be back home. They dropped the stuff they brought with them as they could sense a nice relaxing bit of time ahead of them but they noticed that Ratchet wasn't the only one in the house.

"You guys remember Orion Pax, right?" Ratchet says, pointing to the bot beside him.

It has been a very long while since they saw Orion Pax, after all, he was once their babysitter in their younger years. Even though they never saw the archivist for quite some time, they did hear about him from some of Ratchet's stories, including a gladiator named Megatronus that they were never allowed to search up for some reason.

"Ok, so he is just very tall." Blades comments, realizing the height thing was as normal as it was back when Blades was as small as three stacked energon cubes. "Hi?"

"Hello Blades." Orion says, not minding the extremely weird comment from before. "Heatwave, nice to see you as well."

"You seemed very composed even though the last time we saw you ended in a total disaster." Heatwave says, not too sure what to make of this. "Yeah, I still haven't forgotten about that."

There was a moment of silence, Orion taking a moment to look at Ratchet as the medic sighs aloud.

"Yes, he can talk now." Ratchet says, almost knowing that is exactly what was going to be asked at that moment. "So, it has been awhile, hasn't it?"

"You know, I never realized we look so similar." Heatwave says, noticing something that he never paid attention to before.

they were both red in color, different shades but Orion guessed that could mean some sort of similarities. their optics weren't the same color and neither were the shape of them. it is when he noticed his frame, the similar shape that they had, it did look quite close to one another.

"oh my Primus I can see it." Blades mutters, finding himself absolutely floored with what he is witnessing. "Do you think-"

"Blades, that is not possible." Ratchet knew exactly what the bot was thinking and had to stop this before there was the spiraling effect. "Orion doesn't-"

"My entire family is dead."

The silence that filled the room made it seem so dark, those words being the last thing anyone truly expected from an archivist like Orion Pax. as there was a moment of silence, it was questionable as to what would break it. what broke it was a voice, the voice of Ratchet.

"So, energon anyone?" he asks, somewhat changing the topic that needs to be discussed right now.
