A.... Pirate

Chapter 16

"Lockdown? Never would have thought he's the material for a sire." I spoke, "There's no mod for that."

Aspen shrugged, "My protection systems must have not been able to handle the mods he does have." She sighed, "I don't regret (y/n), never, I just regret the timing, and who it was with."

I paused, "(y/n) said you basically hated her as a sparkling."

Aspen sighed again, "I suppose that's what it seemed like for someone her age. And my sister was right for telling her I should be doing a better job." She looked up at the recharging (y/n), "She deserved better. Though, I will never not be happy she's mine. She's been able to accomplish so much more than I ever have in all of my onlining." She looked over to the box

"How come you never reached our for her?" I asked

She scoffed, "Are you serious? She was a part of an interplanetary group of Pirates! You really think I can just find their comms number in the Comms Datapad?"

I shrugged, "Did she ever talk about me?"

Aspen hummed, "She never really talked to me. We had opposing schedules." I nodded, "I heard her mention something about friends every once and awhile, before she left and didn't come back. Next time I saw her was on the news saying she helped still millions in technology and jewels."

I nod, "Last time I saw her after... after... that doesn't matter, she was looting through what was left of my sensei's training center." I looked down at the photo on the datapad, "It shattered my spark seeing her do that."

Aspen hummed, "Then how did you two get together now?"

I chuckled, "Turns out its kinda hard to stop loving someone your spark wanted."

Aspen smiled softly, "I can agree." She chuckled, "I'm what you call the plagued circuit in my Families motherboard. All of my family seemed to know who that belonged with and loved forever and made the right choices."

"And you?"

"I was one that fell in love too easily. I was in and out of relationships by the solar cycle." She chuckled, "My sire used to say I had a family name to keep up, but I couldn't help it. Something in my programming was flawed I wanted what they wanted. Love. But I was always trying too hard or loving the wrong bots." She sighed, "It was hard. All I needed was someone to love."

"So you became a Pleasure Bot." I said

"I did. It was all good at first. Plenty of mechs, and the occasional femme, to interface with. Then they started to demand more and more. It became difficult so I had to work hard on my form and make sure my protection systems were up to date nearly everyday." She sighed, "I'm just a mess."

"Sometimes from th' biggest messes come th' best treasures." I jumped at (y/n)'s voice behind me and looked over my shoulder plate at her

"How are you feeling?" I asked

"Stiff." She spoke arching her backstruts slightly

"How long have you been awake?" Aspen asked

"Long enough t' know I needs t' make sure Prowler doesn't get t' me sparklin' pictures 'n t' ask me carrier t' drop her adapted accent." (Y/n) spoke

Aspen smiled, "O' course muffin."

(Y/n) smiled sincerely at her then looked to me, "Ye cool wit' Lockdown bein' me sire? Since I kinda can nah change it."

"Does me finding out your sire's an intergalactic bounty hunter who takes prizes off his victims change you?" I asked

"Nah."

"Then I'm sure I'll be ok with this information." She grinned at me

"Yer a dork." (Y/n) chuckled

"And your a pirate."

"Says th' ninja bot."

"Your point."

"'tis an interestin' combination o' sneak 'n high grade chuggin'."

"Don't chug high grade please."

"Ye can nah stop me Prowler."

"You really think I can't."

"Well yeah. Ye ne'er know when or where I'll do it."

"I'll just have to keep a close optic on you."

"keep yer optics in yer helm that's where they belong nah wit' me. Wha' do ye wants me t' do wit' severed optics anyway."

"You're calling me the dork?"

"Yer th' one sayin' that yer gonna give me yer optics!"

"I never said that (y/n)."

"Ye did!"

"No. I did not."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!!"

"Fine. Whatever you say."

"Nice."
