Will gasps harshly, sitting up.
"h-huh..?" he murmurs, rubbing his chest with a wince. Ironhide whips around, looking confused, in his usual form instead of his holoform.
"Will...?" Ironhide ask.
"Hide? whats going on?" Will ask.
"I don't know, you called me in here. I've been in here a while... been looking for you. couldn't find you in the house so I thought you'd be out here. you like the corn field." Ironhide murmurs.
"I didn't call you in here, I just woke up here. like you usually do." Will murmurs. "you called me in here." Will says confused.
"no I didn't." Ironhide frowns.
"what happened?" Will ask.
"I don't know... my spark started hurting and the room started spinning and... I just... I think I offlined." Ironhide says.
"what? you can't be offlined!" Will shouts.
"no, I think I'm alive now, but that I did offline, briefly..." Ironhide says, looking confused. "if you didn't call me here and I didn't call you here, why are we on the farm?" Ironhide asks, scooping him up gently. immediately there a bright light surrounding them.
"do not be alarmed you two. its just us. we figured it was better to get you both here."
"Primes? wha... huh?" Ironhide asks, looking confused.
"whats going on? what are we doing here?" Will asks.
"its okay. we just wanted to check on you two."
"especially since you did briefly offline Ironhide. it took you friends a while to get you stable little one."
Ironhide looks more confused.
"why did I offline?" Ironhide ask.
"you guys promised Ironhide was going to be okay you said if I-" Wills voice suddenly goes silent, despite him still talking. the Primes would keep him from revealing anything.
"easy now, both of you. thats why we're here. the best way to describe it to you, human, would be like... heartbreak I believe. Ratchet hurt you, even if you don't want to admit it Ironhide, he did hurt you. more than you realize. you've got to let this go, you are hurting yourself."
"if you keep holding the resentment towards Ratchet, you could offline. it is not your time."
"you must relax. you do not have to forgive and forget, but you need to stop hurting yourself."
"what...? the photo album is what this is about?" Will asks. "but, I thought you bought a new book, Hide we talked about this. just-" Will starts.
"its not the book! its Ratchet!" Ironhide snaps angrily. Will jumps, confused. "that stupid fragging medic has had the nerve to call himself my brother for many millennia, the he has the nerve to threaten to shoot your photo album! when I don't let that happen he... he almost destroyed it!" Ironhide growls angrily. Will frowns, silently wishing he could hug Ironhide. he forgets the Primes are there and can grant his wish without him even saying it.
he's not expecting to suddenly start falling, failing in the air. Ironhide had vanished...?
"Ironhide!" Will shouts. he yelps landing in someones arms. he looks over and panting and sighs. the Primes had reduced Ironhide to his holoform, meaning he'd been falling because Ironhide wasn't under him anymore. it was alright though, since Ironhide had caught him. Ironhide lets out a sigh, clutching him carefully.
