Angel From A Dream

Chapter 27

Okay, I know it took me a long time to get back to working on this story, and I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to take such a long break, but life happens. But I finally got this chapter done. Steeljaw and Strongarm might be a little bit out of character.

Hope you enjoy it!

Strongarm sits on the berth in Med Bay as Knock Out examines her, she had to use the ointment that Steeljaw gave her shortly after he left and she explained to her parents and the others what Steeljaw had told her. They grew concerned for her well-being after hearing about the affects the bite mark can have on her, and they became even angrier at Steeljaw for putting her in this situation.

When she got back to the scrapyard and got into Med Bay, she saw Sideswipe lying on a medical berth with machines still hooked up to him. He looks over at her and smiles weakly, relieved to see that she's okay and the rest of the team was able to save her. Her spark broke at the sight of him, even though they were able to save him, he still looked like he was about to join Primus at any moment.

"Everything checks out," Knock Out says once he finishes with his examination. "The biggest concern is that bite mark, you will need to make sure that you use that ointment regularly. My biggest worry is when you run out of it. You said that each Wolf-Con has an ointment specifically made for their bite mark, correct?"

"That's what Steeljaw told me."

"That means we can't just make another ointment, so we'll have to figure out what we can do when the ointment runs out."

"I think the best thing would be to capture Steeljaw and lock him up, then we can get information from him on how to make this ointment," Arcee suggested. "Or to at least have him in close range of Strongarm."

"That would be the best way to do this."

"But how will we capture him?" Strongarm questions, "He's very clever, he won't allow himself to get caught that easily."

"We'll have to think of something."

Steeljaw walks with his pack back to their hideout, with Underbite lagging behind. But surprisingly, the others are going at a slow pace so he can keep up with them. He doesn't know if they're going at a slow pace for him or if they're exhausted from everything that happened. Most likely the last one.

"I'm surprised you let the femme go, I thought you would'a fought harder to keep her," Thunderhoof says to Steeljaw.

"We made a deal, I let her go and she gives me a chance to win her spark."

"Will she even keep up her side of the deal?" Fracture asked.

"She said she will. I have to trust that she will."

It takes them a while but eventually they make it back to their hideout and Underbite goes to look for some metal he can eat to regain his strength. Steeljaw stands outside as pain shoots through his frame, he hates being away from his mate like this, and he doesn't know when he will see her again. He didn't think he would be feeling this much pain just being separated from her.

The Autobots worked on cleaning out the place where Brendon and his team were holding their equipment, and after a few days, they got everything out. They kept an optic on Strongarm and made sure she kept up with using the ointment while watching out for any changes. Sideswipe started making a recovery, and everyone was relieved that they didn't have to worry about him joining the AllSpark anytime soon. Though sometimes Strongarm wishes that he was unconscious again when he starts getting on her nerves.
