TRANSFORMERS: Bumblebee's Boy

NEW ARRIVALS

A/N: Quick note of a change from the movies. Elita will not be a member of the Arcee triplets, and neither is Chromia. Jolt, Mudflap, and Skids will also be absent from this, while Sunstreaker will be added to the group. This was decided since I wanted a smaller Autobot group on Earth for the story. But still felt it would be good to give a head's up.

CHAPTER 26

New Arrivals

Trevor swallowed, nervousness filling every pour of his body. The day had finally come for the newer Autobot arrivals to come. A group which included a new member of his family: a grandmother. One had had never met, and he wasn't entirely sure he was ready to meet. They had arrived nearly an hour ago, two femmes: Elita-1 and Chromia, and along with them, two mechs: Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. He hadn't gotten the chance to meet them yet, given they were currently being debriefed, but he hoped he got the chance to meet the twins and Chromia first.

He wondered if Optimus and the others were telling Elita about him. And what's more, he wondered what they were saying if they were. He leaned against a wall in the main hangar, and shifted on his feet slightly. Would she look at him and see anything more than an alien? Would she, as Optimus and Bumblebee guessed, really like him? He sighed, and ran a hand along his face, his mind swirling slightly. "What's a kid like you doing all alone?"

Trevor jumped at the feminine voice, his eyes trailing up towards the source. His heart sank slightly at the sight of the twenty foot tall, slender framed, and soft blue opticed dark pink femme that made her way beside him. Trevor knew her on sight, after all, she had been the femme that stuck closest to Optimus when he watched them arrive from a distance. But now, taking in the full form of Elita-1 made him even more freaked out than he had been. "Weren't you guys... Supposed to be in a meeting?"

Elita crossed her arms, and leaned back against the wall. "We were done a while ago," Elita replied. "My bonded's been wondering where a kid of the base was. When I saw you, I figured that must be you," She then added. "Considering you look considerably younger than the other humans," She added.

Trevor nodded his head, swallowing a little as he continued to stare up at her. He wasn't sure how to answer her, but he supposed that was partly the fault of his nerves. This was an awkward situation, and at that moment, he just wanted to shrink back. "Do... Do you know who I am?" Elita raised an optic ridge. "Did they tell you?"

Elita stared at him for a long moment, then looked up. Trevor turned his head, and noticed Bumblebee and Optimus were headed their way as well. He swallowed a bit, then looked back at Elita. "Tell me what?" Elita questioned, staring up at Optimus. "Why is it you two wanted me to meet the young human here so bad?"

Bumblebee quickly picked Trevor up, as if to try and calm him down. By the look in his optics, he definitely didn't want Trevor to deliver the news. So Trevor grew quiet, and Bumblebee cleared his "throat". "Elita, while you were gone, a lot of things changed," Bumblebee began, keeping his calm. "I've... Become a sire," He explained.

Elita looked at him with a mixture of confusion and surprise. She looked at Bumblebee, then at the boy, then back at him again. "How is that even possible?" Trevor's face flushed over. "How would you even begin to-?"

"Elita," Optimus interjected. "Trevor was adopted soon after the battle which destroyed the Allspark," Elita looked at Optimus with an "OH" look on her face, before rubbing her neck. "You've missed much, Elita. But Trevor saved Bumblebee's life, and worked alongside us," He then added. "And yet tragic circumstances within the events here... Caused him to lose his creators," He explained.

"I uh," Bumblebee rubbed the back of his own neck. "Promised his dad I'd protect him," He explained. "But our relationship grew from there. I uh... We went through a lot together," He explained. "I know it's gonna be hard to accept for a while. But he's a great kid, Elita," The femme was silent, staring at Bumblebee.
