Detained

Chapter 25

Frenzy woke up in Dorothy's lap, leaned against her front and started to cry out in pain as all of it flooded back into his systems.

The little mech had been placed back into his cybertronian form the moment Ratchet had started examining him. Dorothy had brought the CD player with her, just in case. Barricade and Bumblebee were already at base since they were dealing with another issue, which Dorothy found out later that it had to do with Ryder and the Decepticons. The woman was in a calm panic, meaning that she look perfectly calm on the outside, but was freaking out on the inside. She didn't know what was wrong with Frenzy and it was not making her any calmer.

Ratchet had finished his examination on the little mech and found a techno-organic poison tainting Frenzy's energon. Being that Frenzy's holo-avatar connected with his cybertronian body, the chip's energon must had been carried over into the energon lines before Barricade took off the chip. The poison seemed to have been triggered by something in the last week, since Frenzy was almost kidnapped a month and never showed any signs of it. Ratchet said he would begin to try and find an antidote for the poison.

Dorothy immediately asked Barricade to head to the police station to question Mayrin on who she got the poison on and if she had an antidote premade if something were to happen. Then, she asked Bumblebee to go through Ryder's files and any document. She had a sneaking suspicion that he also had something to do with this. The two mechs quickly left to do their jobs, leaving Ratchet and the woman alone in the med bay to help with the patient. Dorothy, being Frenzy's "carrier", started to take her job very seriously.

Right now, it was 1:00 a.m., which meant it was very early in the morning and Frenzy was awake again. Dorothy had drifted off again, since she had been woken up every two-three hours to aid Frenzy, ,but was once again awoken by the sound of Frenzy crying. She opened her eyes, yawning as she did and looked down at the youngling. The little silver mech was curled up on her lap and was nuzzling his face into her side as he was trying to wake her up.

Dorothy signed and shifted Frenzy again, sitting him up on his knee joints and laying his helm on her shoulder so he could be more spread out. The woman guessed that the sedatives that Ratchet had giving him a few hours ago had worn off. She reached down next to her and pulled up a cube full of off-shaded energon. It was medical grade, which Ratchet had told her to give to Frenzy if he woke up again and was in pain.

"Frenzy, I need you to sit up for a second." the woman said tiredly and held the little mech up. He was crying again, sobbing quietly and trying to get Dorothy to not move his frame again. "You need to drink some energon. Medic's orders."

"N-Not h-hungry." Frenzy complained and tried to cling back around her neck for more comfort. Dorothy held him in his spot and sighed. The little chirps and clicks had resurfaced as Frenzy was begging him to let him go back to sleep. Ratchet had been helping her learn some of the native language since Frenzy sometimes got too comfortable and switched from English to Cybertronian on her. The woman could understand small phrases, but not a lot else.

"Frenzy, the energon is going to help you." Dorothy explained and sat Frenzy better on her lap so she could hold up the energon. "The pain will go away once you drink it, I promise."

"NO!" Frenzy argued and started coughing again, his vents loudly sputtering and making the little mech fall forward. Dorothy sighed heavily and moved the young mech around so his back could lean up against her chest. Ratchet said the best thing for the coughing was to let it pass and then get him to drink the med grade. The woman watched as the coughing calmed down and Frenzy turned his helm to cry into the side of her shirt.

Dorothy took her opportunity and placed two fingers under the mech's chin. Frenzy rested his helm on them and watched as the small cube came up to meet his lipplates. He opened them and Dorothy helped him drink it, making sure the he didn't spill any and he didn't accidentally let any come back up. Frenzy had finished his cube slowly, but all of the serving of med grade was gone. The silver mech sighed a bit, being full again making him feel good, and cuddled up with Dorothy. The sedatives were only to dull the pain, but didn't make him fall sleep.
