Second Chance

Secrets revealed

Reflect frowns and lets the Prime grab him a cube and carry him to his office. he gives a soft sigh and Optimus looks down at him.

"its alright little one. Ironhide is just having a hard time. Ratchet and Wheeljack will help him, I promise. " Optimus assures. he carries the sparkling to his office, sitting at his desk quietly.

"I help." the sparkling demans, sitting up.

"no, not this time. its dangerous alright?" Optimus ask.

"I want help!" Reflect glares.

"you cannont help Ironhide right now, he is not here sparkling." Optimus frowns.

"but I want help." Reflect whines.

"I know, but you can help by staying here and being safe alright? just stay with me for now." Optimus murmurs.

the sparkling is almost finished with his cube and half asleep when Optimus gets a com.

"Prime we need help. we were talking with Ironhide and Decepticons attacked! send help! Ironhide and Wheeljack have already been hit! I can't keep up fire by myself! Wheeljacks down and Ironhides trying but he's got a huge whole in his chest!"

Optimus remains calm, but gets up out of his chair, shifting the sparkling gently. Reflect whines at being moved, he'd been comfortable. he squirms a little to get comfortable again, making the Prime look down at him.

"absolutely I'll leave the sparkling with Sideswipe and I'll grab a few others, we'll be there shortly, send me your coordinates. remain calm Ratchet, help is on the way, keep up fire we will be there shortly."

Optimus heads out of his office, cradling the sparkling gently. he doesn't want to alert the sparkling, gently rocking him. Reflect yawns, he's ready for a nap and wishes the Prime would jsut sit down so he could.

"Sideswipe, I need to you take the sparkling for a bit please." Optimus murmurs. Sideswipe stands and takes the sparkling gently, cuddling him.

"of course Prime. hey Reflect." Sideswipe smiles, cuddling the little mechling. Reflect yawns and curls up in his arm happily.

"Bumblebee, Sunstreaker, Hound, Jazz, please come with me." Optimus says. the four look confused, but follow him immediately. Reflect yawns a little and looks over at the five retreating bots. Bumblebee pats the bots head as they walk by, smiling, before following Optimus quickly.

"come on little one." Sideswipe murmurs, heading for his and Sunnys room. Reflect cuddles his Ironhide toy and lets Sideswipe carry him off. "we'll go curl up for a nap alright?" Sideswipe smiles. Reflect gives him a sleepy look. "sorry, you were probably already in a nap before Prime woke you, hmm?" Sideswipe chuckles softly, nuzzling the little mechlings head. Reflect stretches and yawns, curling up quietly against Sideswipes chest plates. "thats right you take a nap and keep us both out of trouble." Sideswipe murmurs. he lays on his berth, cuddling Reflect gently. the sparkling purrs quietly and cuddles up to him.

when the sparkling wakes up, he's curled up beside Bumblebee on a medical berth. Ratchets standing over Ironhide, staring at part of the mechs chest plate.

"what the hell is this?" Ratchet mutters, looking confused. he's got a small part of Ironhides plating in his servo, staring at the piece. Ratchet runs a scan over it carefully, looking for answers. he immediately stiffens after a minute, looking almost horrified, quickly putting the mechs chest plate back together. how could he be so stupid? so nosey? how could he have gotten in Ironhides business like that? "he put his spark in danger for this." Ratchet murmurs quietly. he frowns to himself, before shaking his head. suddenly Ironhide not wanting Wheeljack to open his chest plates a few weeks ago made since, he'd literally protect the handprint with his life and not care if he died. he didn't want the inventor to know his secret. he didn't want anyone to know his secret and Ratchet doesn't seem to mind.
