I finally woke up again for what seemed like the millionth time. I was awake, but didn't open my eyes. Nothing hurt right now and I want to keep it that way for a minute. Suddenly my stomach growls and I realize that I am very hungry. I sigh and slowly open my eyes. I flinch slightly when I am blinded by a bright light, but I don't close my eyes. I soon recover and can see again. I look around. Docbot is over by his computers doing who knows what. I know this time I need to get down and go get food, so I slowly sit up.

"H-h-hey-y D-doc-c?" I whisper shakily, really not wanting to interrupt him. I then see him visibly jump. He then turned around to face me.

"Lavanya what are you doing awake! Not to mention sitting up! You need to rest!" He shouted sounding slightly worried. He walked over to me quickly. I cowered and backed up. "Lava what's wrong." I looked up at him, trying to hold back my tears but a few managed to slip down my cheeks. I looked down at my hands which were hanging in my lap.

"S-s-so-orr-ry Ratchet." I say my voice shaking a lot. 

"Would you quit apologizing femme! Primus!" Doc said clearly annoyed. I opened my mouth to apologize again, but Doc stopped me by holing up a finger toward me. "Yip ip ip. Don't you dare."  I looked down at my hands again. I heard Doc sigh. "Lava please tell me what's wrong." Now it's my turn to sigh.

"I-I-I" I shut my mouth and take a deep breath thinking of where to start. "I-I'm not used to friendly physical contact." I say almost in a whisper. "And the shouting before physical contact doesn't exactly bring back pleasant memories" I stop trying not to let more tears fall.

"What do you mean by that?" Doc asked. In a fairly emotionless voice.

"M-m-my f-f-fath-ther" I whisper. I can't keep talking as I am over come by shaking from the bad memories. I let out a whimper. And the tears fall from my eyes. I curl up into a ball, my head tucked between my knees. I barely heard Doc gasp.

"Lavanya-" I cut him off.

"N-no p-please". I start then take another. I start again my voice slightly stronger. "Please stop calling me that." I look up at Doc my eyes pleading. He looked slightly taken aback.

"W-what why?"

"Because that is what he called me that is why I liked to go by Lava." I said softly looking up at him.

"Alright Lava. Now you need to rest you are still recovering from the recent incidents. Here these might help." He handed me a human sized blanket and pillow. My stomach growls again. I groan remembering why I even sat up

"Uhhh hey Doc-ter Ratchet" I quickly caught myself when he gave me a look. "Is there somewhere I can get some food?"

" I think Jack and Miko may have brought you some food for when you wake up I'll take you out there to check." He set laid his servo down next to me. I hesitantly climbed on and sat down criss-cross. He lifted his hand up to his shoulder and I climbed up there. So it was more comfortable for both of us.

We walked into the main area and everyone was standing over by the ground bridge controls. Miko looked like she was about to cry (ok maybe a slight exaggeration) and everyone was staring at Wheeljack.

"What's going on in here?" Doc asked making me jump and he had to quickly put his hand up to steady me.

"Thank you" I whisper. He only gives me a slight nod in response.
