   "Hey Boss Bot! Can I get a refueling break?!" Bumblebee called out from the broken bridge. The bits were hard at work putting the thing back together after the battle between them and the Decepticons, with Megatron now rebuilt.

   "You just had one two cycles ago!" The Prime answered, his backstruts facing the yellow bot.

   "But I'm thirsty!"

   "Look, Bumblebee, the city needs to be rebuilt. You know as well as I do it's partly our fault." Optimus paused, glancing over to you, who stood at his side. "Though it-uh, it isn't yours, Y-Y/N. You don't have to do this, ya know. You weren't even here when this whole mess happened," Optimus said.

   "Now that I can get out of the house, I want to help. I'm as tall as Bulkhead and have the warframe strength you guys don't. Not to mention you're still working on it after all this time!" You explained passionately.

   Optimus didn't bother pressing further. He didn't think you had any obligation to do this, or needed to repay them for all they'd done through this, and it didn't seem to be what you were doing either. You wouldn't budge no matter how he tried to sway you. It made him smile a little, and his cheeks flushed. The mech couldn't get over how kind and generous you were. His spark picked up it's pace.

   Suddenly, Bumblebee leaped off the bridge and into the path of none other than Lugnut and Blitzwing. The Cons carried stolen materials on their backs, hampering their speed. Bumblebee turned his servos into stingers and shot at the Cons. The stingers had no effect and he jumped out of the way.

   You hid behind Optimus as best you could in hoped the Decepticon mechs wouldn't see you. They didn't. Thank the stars.

   Ratchet shot at a lamp post with his EMP generator. It snapped at the base and fell into the Cons' path. They tripped and were buried under the stolen supplies. They unburied themselves and transformed, fleeing the scene.

   "They're getting away!" Ratchet yelled.

   "We have bigger problems!" Prowl said from behind him.

   A large crack crawled up one of the support beams on the bridge. Human construction workers on top began to panic as the ground shook under them.

   "I got it!" Bulkhead yelled, putting his back on the thing. Optimus pushed at it to hold it together.

   "There's no need to panic! We'll fix this," Optimus told the workers who peeked over the edge.

   "Again," Bee added exasperatedly.

Light darkened to night, and the team ended up working under the light of the stars and moon.

"-I mean, why would they want to steal construction supplies anyway? Decepticons don't build stuff, they break stuff!" Bumblebee rambled on. He glanced back at you. "Um, right?"

"A lot of Cons come from working class backgrounds, Bee. That includes some construction, though it's mostly warframes, especially since after the war," you pitched in.

"Well, I just hope they don't break this overpass again," Prime said with a sigh. You nodded in agreement. The two of you set your materials down. "Alright, Autobots. Let's go home." Everyone but him, Bulkhead and you transformed and rolled out.
