TFP: shattered glass; Knockout in prime universe

Chapter 2

Walking in the base, Fowler and a woman move from the railing. I give a soft smile as smokescreen leads me to the medbay. I jerk back hard at the sight of Hatchet.

He forms a sword, my door is damaged, I can't call out my arm blade. "No, Ratchet, he's not our Knockout." Bulkhead says. Ratchet looks me over than nods to the berth.

Smokescreen and Bulkhead ease me down, Ratchet comes to my side. He starts at my arm, sealing energon lines and sparking wires. I grunt when he hits a pain receptor, he mutters a quiet sorry.

"So, umm, Knockout." I look at Nem...Optimus. He looks at the children than me. "Why did you protect the children." He asks.

I smile "Why wouldn't I protect my charge." I say. All look at me. "What, what did I say." I ask, jerking when Ratchet hits an old wound.

"Your charge is Raph." Miko asks. "Yes and your's is Starscream and Jack's is Megatron's." I say, Ratchet slips up a little. "Not even close here, is it." I ask. Optimus walks over. "Jack is Arcee's charge. Miko is Bulkhead's and Bumblebee is Raphael's."

I nod, Ratchet moving to my back. "Be easy near my spine, Nemesis did a number on me when he tortured me a few years ago." I tell hem.

"Thanks for the info." Ratchet says, shifting his arm into a welder. "Who's Nemesis." Miko asks. I give a smile. "Nemesis is Nemesis Prime. He's Optimus' counterpart. And......he's..." I break off in a sigh.

"He's what." Jack asks. I look to Prime. "A year into my torture, Nemesis got fed up with me fighting. He drug me into his berth chambers and......forced a sparkling on me."

"I gave birth in that hell hole. He even used CyanFlair against me till I escaped and returned home."

"Megatron and the others love CyanFlair. And Breaky loves hem as his own." I explain. A tear falls down my cheek, I wrip it away. "I cared for Cyan in that cell. He would ask me where's home. When would we be safe. I lost it when Nemesis cut Cyan on the cheek. In anger, I tackled and beated the scrap out of Nemesis. Grabbing Cy, I ran and fought my way out."

"That was when Doctor of doom almost cut my leg off." I show the scar, its located from my mid thigh to the back of the shin.

"I beat hem that day much like today." I tell them. "So, your a warrior. Our Knockout is too scared to get his finish scratched." Arcee says.

"Why. Why. It's just paint. Its ment to be scratched." I say. Bee starts making buzzing noises, I realize he's laughing. Even Arcee let's out a laugh.

Optimus place's a hand on my good shoulder. "Your more than welcomed to remain here till your able to go home." Optimus tells me.

I now my head, letting everything go. Ratchet comes around, pulls the dagger out and places a patch over the optic. "You look like our Breakdown now." Miko says.

Later, I lay on the medical berth and close my eye. My thoughts go to my son and how he's doing. Smiling, I drift into recharge.
