Ironhide jerks up, he's not wasting time. he whips around.
"WILL!" Ironhide shouts. Will jumps on the floor beside him.
"I-Ironhide-" Will starts. Ironhide jumps up and grabs Wills shoulders, shaking him hard. Will yelps, trying to push his hands off. "s-stop you're hurting me." Will winces.
"Sentinel! Sentinel is the one you're afraid is going to kill me!?" Ironhide shouts. Will tenses, staring at Ironhide wide eyed. he's shaking a little.
"H-Hide I-I can't.... I-I..." Will tries.
"easy young one."
Ironhide whips around. Wills terrified.
"why did you warn me!?" Ironhide snaps.
"please stop yelling." Will mumbles.
"we couldn't tell you a specific name."
"so he is the one trying to kill me?" Ironhide ask.
one of the Primes nods a little.
"yes little one. yes."
Ironhide turns to look at Will.
"I couldn't tell you." Will squeaks quietly. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Ironhide I'm so sorry, I knew. I knew and I couldn't tell you I'm so sorry!" Will whimpers. Ironhide yanks him to his chest and holds him gently.
"I didn't mean to yell at you." Ironhide murmurs.
"you can't let them bring him back to life." Will mumbles quietly.
"I can't entirely stop them." Ironhide frowns. "I can't touch the Matrix and they'd never let Reflect close enough to grab it after the reaction he just had." Ironhide grumbles. "and its not like I can tell... Ratchet." Ironhide murmurs.
"Ironhide wait no!" Will shouts.

"Ratchet!" Ironhide shouts, sitting up immediately. Reflect yelps, whimpering. he covers his audios, Ironhide pats his back gently.
"RATCHET! DON'T WAKE SENTINEL!"
Wheeljack looks over when his bonded jumps.
"Ironhide-"
"Sentinel is the one Will has been trying to warn is going to kill me!"
"wh-what?"
"TELL OPTIMUS NOT TO WAKE HIM UP! DON'T TRUST HIM!"
"Optimus hold on-" Ratchet starts.
"we bid you return." Optimus murmurs
"its too late. Optimus already woke him. Ironhide tell me whats going on."
"Optimus just signed my death warrant."
"Ironhide?" Reflect whimpers.
"fuck." Ironhide mutters. he rubs his head wincing, he's being pulled back in.

Ironhide sits up gasping. he looks around.
"remain calm Ironhide."
"calm? CALM? CALM!?" Ironhide shouts. Will grabs his arm gently.
"Ironhide please..." Will trails.
"you want me to be CALM?! the mech that is trying to kill me just got brought back to life!" Ironhide snaps.
"easy little one. you have some time before that happens. I promise. we will do everything we can to make sure you're safe."
