The next day I was in the gym training when optimus and ratchet came in dragging my badly beaten father. Dad looked awful. And what made me scream was his missing right arm. "Dad!" I scream. I use my new strength and jump up beside dad. Energon pooled around dad like a lake. "I need to stabilize him!" Ratchet says yelling in frustration as he struggles to save dad's life. "Dad! Daddy!" I scream. A gentle hand picks me up and takes me away from dad. It was uncle prowl. "No! Let me go! " I scream tears streaming down my face. Uncle prowl ignores my protests and takes me away from the scene. "No!" I scream trying to get out of his grasp. But it was impossible. "Let me go! Please!" I cry. Uncle prowl again ignores me and takes me into his room. He gently sets me down and locks the door. I curl up and cry. I could feel dad's agonizing pain. I didn't know how but the pain I was in. It was ten times worse for dad. Then I feel uncle prowl gently stroke my back. His soft comforting shushing noises slowly fill the air. "Please..." I whimper. "You don't need to see that. He wouldn't want you to see that." Uncle prowl finally says. Slowly I look up at him. Uncle prowl gently strokes my hair. "How do you know?" I stubbornly sniffle. Uncle prowl laughs. "Because I see the way barricade treats and cares for you. He wouldn't want you to see him in pain." Uncle prowl says. I sniffle and slowly wipe my eyes. I suddenly notice how much uncle prowl looks like dad. "You've really changed him. I didn't think it was possible tho for a half Cybertronian half human hybrid." Uncle prowl says. Slowly I climb onto his hand. "Yea..." I whisper. "May I ask what happened?" Uncle prowl asks motioning to my sling and stitches. "I was attacked. By my step father. He shattered my bones. And the only way ratchet could save my life was to replace my shattered bones with some kind of cybernetic alloy." I say. Uncle prowls eyes widen and he holds back a growl. I flinch slightly. Seeing this uncle prowl gently strokes my head. "I am not angry at you fire but at the human who attacked you. Tell me. How bad did barricade kill him?" He asks. "He didn't. Very nearly did." I say. Uncle prowl nods and sets me down. Then gets out a tablet. He brings up a photos of a black and blue mech and a red femm. Both the femm and the mech had a sparkling in their arms. One was black and white the other was silver. "That is your sire." Uncle prowl says. I smile. "That's dad?" I ask. Uncle prowl nods. "Yes." He says. "Awww dad was so adorable." I say. Uncle prowl chuckle. "Yes." He says once more. "Prowl." We look up to see optimus. "Optimus. How is he?" I ask. "He's stable for now. Do you wish to see him?" He asks. I nod and uncle prowl takes me back to the med bay.

I gasp seeing dad. His right arm had been stabilized but was still gone. Ratchet was working on it right now. He turns and sighs. Uncle prowl sets me next to dad. I rub his cheek gently. Slowly dad's weak and tired eyes shift to me. Then dad slowly turns his head. "Oh daddy." I whisper resting my forehead on his cheek. "F-.... Fire...." Dad strains out. "Shhh daddy. Save your energy." I say. Tears streamed down my face. Blue tears. "D-... D-Don't cry....." Dad whispers. I hug dad's face plates tighter. "Megatron did this. Didn't he?" I whimper. Dad sighs weakly. "Y-Yes..." He says. "He left a warning." Optimus says. I take the tablet from him and pale.
