TFP Old friends (Optimus x Oc)

Bennett's Backstory

As the sun was about to set Raf, jack and Miko along with bumblebee were playing a board game while Reanna Bulkhead and Arcee watched. Well... Reanna wasn't exactly watching, she was on the couch staring of into space. Phoebe was also playing, well... making an attempt to play she tried to join in but some of the pieces were to big for her tiny paws eventually she decided to just sit in Raf's lap and watch.
Reanna was thinking about Bennett, that letter was a real shocker, for all of them actually. But it was obvious that Bennett wasn't going to be joining them anytime soon. The wolf hybrid wasn't the only one who was worried about Bennett. A certain medic, who was leaning on the wall with a data pad in his servos,couldn't concentrate on what he was doing because he was to worried about Bennett. He badly wanted to go talk to her but it wouldn't make sense to go talk to her if he didn't know what relationship she had with her patient. He saw Optimus coming his way and he got an idea.

While staring off Reanna noticed Optimus standing close by. He quietly beckoned to her, as to not disturb the others,to get onto his hand. Reanna quietly slipping away and jumped into the Prime's palm and he walked over to Ratchet. She looked up at Ratchet then Optimus.

'Reanna, Ratchet was wondering if you could explain what type of relationship Bennett had with her patient, Miss Rosemary', he said softly.

Reanna looked up at Ratchet gravely.
'Well, there ain't much to say Doc Bot', Reanna paused to think, 'I'm not entirely sure on what kind of relationship Bennett had with Miss Rosemary. All I know is that they were really, very close.' She lowered her head for a moment, thoughtfully. 'Now that I think about it... Bennett always did have a way to get along with the elderly. All the senior hybrids in our colony like her.' Reanna paused again and folded her arms. 'I'm not sure how she gets along with them so well but I think it has something to do with the relationship she had with her grandfather'.

Ratchets optics widened slightly, 'Grandfather?', He remembered Bennett talk about her grandfather the first night she and Reanna stayed at the base. 'What... kind of connection did Bennett have with her forefather? '

Reanna shrugged, 'Not even I know. Bennett and I have always been close but... this is something she never really wanted to discuss with anyone. HECK, I didn't think it was a good idea to bring her here in the first place because her grandpa's death anniversary was just a few days ago.'

Ratchet lowered his optics, 'I see... ', after thinking for a moment he looked back at Reanna, 'Reanna do you think... I could try talking to Bennett - if it's all right with you. '

Reanna was surprised but smiled kindly and nodded, 'Of course Doc Bot. Go knock your self out. She could use some one to talk to'.

The medic smiled and looked at Optimus, as if asking it was alright. The prime nodded. Ratchet made his way to the elevator and went up to the roof. Optimus looked down at his friend and noticed that she still felt sad, he placed her on his shoulder.

'How about we see who's winning, shall we? ', He asked with a soft smile.

Reanna smiled back and nodded. Optimus walked towards the human area where the others where groaning in defeat because Miko had won.

--On the roof

The sun was just starting to disappear over the horizon. Bennett was sitting at the edge watching the sunset, now in her human form, hugging her knees. Her eyes still had a few tears in them. She herd the sound of the elevator come up and footsteps coming closer to her. Ratchet stood there looking out at the sunset.

'May I join you', he asked softly.

'If you want to', Bennett replied not looking away from the horizon.
