Autobots From the Skies

Chapter Thirty

No One's Pov~

Bee and Cynder walked to the main area hand in hand. Carter was off hanging out with Miko and Jack. Rafeal was over by Ratchet talking about whatnot and such. The two bots shook there heads seeing Ratchet being stood up by a young boy, and it was a funny sight.

Raf-"No you have it wrong Ratchet. It needs to be plugged in over there not here. Then this here instead of that part of this hunk of a mess."

Ratchet-"Rafeal it's supposed to be plugged in there or else the entire thing won't power up. Just like the last time!"

Letting out a marrow of laughter the older medic looked back at the two, his optics showing stress. Bee dragged Cynder away from them towards the couch once more where they talked for a while, and exchanged jokes. After so long Cynder had fallen into recharge against Bumblebee, her hand in his still. Optimus kept glancing at the two not knowing what to think. Normally, by now she would of waken of her nightmares, but not at this momemt tonight.

She stirred slightly, and settled back into a fitless recharge. Ratchet came out to tell her it was time to come back and rest in the medbay seeing the two. Bumblebee knowing she had to go picked her up and settled her down not wanting to leave her side. The grumpy medic only wanted her there because of her nightmares. They sometimes physically hurt her. He left the two there, not even caring anymore as long as the scout didn't bother him, such as bulkhead would.

Bee kept an eye on her for a second before slipping into recharge as well. Thankfully, Jack and Arcee were able to take Carter home. Cynder barely moved, and only did if it was to either move closer to Bumblebee or gain a more comfortable postion. It didn't bother the mech beside her. With in a few moments Optimus walked in placing his servo on her side, careful not to wake her.

Op-"You have seen to much darkness Cynder, yet there is someway you find the smallest things to keep you moving on. If only there were more like you at our time of need. The darkness seems to loom farther and father, while we are growing weaker and weaker by the day. There is a possibility of us coming out on top, and with you by our sides I feel we can make it."

He had whispered the words to himself barely audible. Ratchet didn't bother to turn his helm at the leader walking in suddenly. Why would he? Cynder was the Prime's sister after all. Optimus turned to the recharging Bee, no words spoken, before turning and heading to his office. There were long days ahead of them. Long days of work, and possibly pain if anything went wrong.

Optimus vented quietly. Something seemed to be off with the decepticons. Megatron went after Cynder, for what we all know of, but couldn't he also have gone after Arcee? She has been here longer than his sister had. The decepticon leader had a lot more time for the darker, and smaller femme. Was it Cynder because he actually knew her? He doubted it, because they were friends before.

Op-"What did she have to do this? Why was she harmed, and now frightened"

He didn't even bother to turn his head to the approaching ped steps. Knowing all to well who it was, because she was that kind of femme that knew when he worried.

Cynder*Buzzing*-"Stop fretting yourself Optimus. I am not frightened because I have certain mechs by my side to protect me, even if I don't need it, and the whole team there to."

She walked over to him wrapping her arms around the blue and red mech. Quick to return the hug he relaxed a little. Maybe Cynder was right at this moment, he needed to relax a little.

Cynder*Buzzing*-"Megatronous only wanted me because he felt pain, and wanted me to feel it. Also with the fact that they are losing warriors by the day. He feels he needed me to help...So I'm guessing Ratchet told you everything."

Op-"Yes. It was a strong choice. The sparkling would of grown into a bad placement. His or her father fighting against the side you were from, and having to make a decision on what side he or she wants to be on."

Cynder*Buzzing*-"I agree. The is why I made Knockout rid me of it. I couldn't let it be born with Megatron as a father."

Op-"What about you and Bee then?"

Cynder*Buzzing*-"Nothing really seems to be going on with us. I mean yeah we are hanging out more and talking more..."

Op-"You feel into recharge in his arms Cynder. He won't leave your side either."

Cynder*Buzzing*-"So...?"

The femme was now blue in the face embarrassed slightly. Apparently, the truth was out now. Bee and Cynder at least. They aren't sparkbonded thankfully for Optimus's sake, and yet they were as close as if they were. Maybe the Prime was happy for this, but slightly weary on it speaking he just found his sister and was to scared to let her go. If she were to fall and be hurt, he would be devestated. On the other hand he could let go and she would land safely on a ledge securely.

Op-"Cynder go back to recharge. You'll need it if your going to start scouting again."

Cynder*Buzzing*-"Always as ever!"

With that she walked away, the blue starting to fade ever so slightly. The blue and red Prime watching her frame dissappear from his sight. The only other thing bothering is Ironhide. His radar went off during another scout...Hopefully a system malfunction.
