CHAPTER 29

Overdue Chats

:Is Trevor doing okay?:

Bumblebee stared down at Trevor as he slept in the guest bedroom, running his hand through his son's hair. Optimus had called him when he got back that night, right when he had gone to check on the boy. Trevor had gone to sleep, given it was already one in the morning for them, and thus he could only stroke his hair like this in hopes he would feel comforted. :He's in recharge right now. Which I'm glad to see as I was afraid he wasn't going to get any sleep,: Bumblebee paused a bit. :I'm so glad he wasn't there for that second encounter.:

:Why, what else happened?:

:He...: Bumblebee paused, his holoform bristling with anger. :He called Trevor "defective". Like his loss of leg and disabilities made him broken,: He sagged his shoulders slightly. :You have no idea how badly I wanted to beat him to a bloody pulp, Prime. This was his creation, and he talked about him like he was a piece of garbage!:

There was silence on the other end, and then a low growl. It was clear that Optimus was just as angry as Bumblebee was. But then again, who wouldn't be? It was disgusting to say about a child, let alone your own one. :What did you do in return?: Optimus questioned.

:Made him terrified of me, and threw him onto my alt mode. And then punched him hard enough that he was out of there, fast,: Bumblebee replied, frowning a little. :I could have done more, but he wasn't worth it,: Bumblebee huffed slightly. :You should have seen him, Prime. Drunk and vomiting all over himself, it was... Pathetic,: Bumblebee shuddered. :Beating him wouldn't give me the satisfaction.:

:You showed more restraint than I might have. And for that I am proud of you, Bumblebee,: Bumblebee smiled at the words of Optimus. :Indeed, people like him are NOT worth it. Only trouble could come of it,: Bumblebee was thankful that Optimus came to that conclusion. :But if he puts his hands around Trevor's throat again, I would not blame you for your actions...:

:He's not coming back, Prime,: Bumblebee shook his head. :You didn't see the way he looked at me. He looked like he was about to lubricate himself,: He explained rather bluntly. :Even drunk, he got the message that if he sees us to turn the other way,: He then added. :And if he goes after Trevor, this time. I won't care. I'll be calling in about him breaking the restraining order,: He paused a moment before adding. :Is Elita okay?:

:Once we calmed her down after the news, yes,: Optimus replied. :She may not know Trevor well, but she was very ready to give the man a piece of her. Not that I am surprised, given her natural carrier instincts,: Another long moment of silence. :I want you to tell me if the man does come around again. If he will not be intimidated away by you. Then it will be me who he has to deal with.: He added very firmly.

Bumblebee smirked at the thought, Michael would definitely get the message then. He'd seen Optimus angry, and what he did with Galloway before? Didn't even begin to compare to when he was truly enraged. :You're definitely not as calm as you sound, then:

There was a long moment of silence, and an engine revved on the other end. :Ironhide and I had to be calmed by Major Lennox and Sargent Epps,: He admitted in an almost embarrassed manner. :I will admit that the moment I heard he tried to strangle Trevor... My grandsire instinct went on overload. I haven't felt such a way since you were very young, and Megatron...:
