Optimus POV

It has been exactly one Vorn, or a year as the humans call it, since me and my team been on this planet called earth. The sentient species that rule this planet are called humans, they are like us in many ways and yet they are different.
Tonight I found myself patrolling in a small town called Barry. It was quite different to Jasper Nevada, where my base resides. It was colder than Jasper and it was more populated, however what was most different was that the humans drive on the opposite side of the road.
I continued to patrol until my audios picked up on a faint whimper. Stopping in the middle of the road, I shifted into reverse and back up to the spot where I heard the whimper. I stopped directly in front of an alley of sorts and turned off my engine. After waiting for a few minute I sighed and was about to turn my engine back when I heard it, that soft whimpering noise. I activated my holoform and stepped out of my alt-mode. My holoform was of a man in his early thirties with black hair cut into a military style; cobalt blue eyes that almost looked like they glowed and I had a short beard that went from ear to ear. I wore a blue t-shirt with a red leather jacket over it; dark grey jeans, black military style combat boots and I wore dog-tags with the Autobot insignia on it.
I walked into the alley and looked anywhere for what could of made the noise. My attention was brought to the far corner where a rustling noise was coming from a pile of cardboard. Slowly, I crept over to the cardboard and removed the top piece. Much to my surprise there was filthy looking female human sparkling curled up into feral position looking wildly around with fearful eyes, it was a sparkbreaking sight and for some reason my spark wanted to reach out and comfort her. There was a strong gust of wind which made there sparkling whimper and she began to shiver. So I slowly knelt down and reached for the sparkling but she panicked as soon as I touched her and she began to shuffle away from my hand. I quickly drew it back and spoke in a quiet comforting voice
"It's is alright young one I mean you no harm" however she did not move from her position so I stood up, took a step back and knelt down again, her posture relaxed slightly but not by much
"Not take me back to mean man?" I narrowed my optics at her in confusion
"What 'mean man' do you refer to?"
"Mama not wake up, then I went to mean man. Hit me with big stick a lot." After she said this I notice the green and purple marks littered around parts of her body.

This infuriated me.

No sparkling or youngling should be treated in this manner; in fact it was punishable by death on Cybertron as sparkling were gifts from Primus. I got down on to both knees and directly into her eyes.
"I promise you with all of my spark that I will do everything in my power to make sure you do not go back to that man" she relaxed even more and started to calm down
"So no hurt?" she tilted her head to the side
"Yes, I will not let you be hurt"
"Pinky promise" she whispered and stuck her smallest digit (Finger) out wait for something, so I searched the 'World Wide Web' and found out it was and human youngling way of promising and I wrapped my digit around hers and shook on it.
"Do you have a name young one" I asked and she nodded.
"Xe-Xena" she said then pointed in my direction but not at me "You name?" this also confused me because by the how old she looks she should be speaking much better than this but I let it pass and replied.
"My name is Optimus Prime"
"Op-op-Oppy" She said and I smiled at this and a thought sneaked it way into my processor,
"Young one, would you like to stay with me and my team for a while?" I asked.
She gave me a toothy grin, "Yes pwease". I gathered her up into my arms and carried her to my alt-mode. I placed her into the passenger seat, did the seatbelt up and shut the door. I deactivated my holoform and started to drive, however this panicked Xena.
"Where Oppy?"
"It is alright Xena, I am still here. I only use my holoform to blend in with humans" I spoke through the radio. She tilted her head so her right ear was facing my radio.
"Oppy not ooman" (Any AVP fans anyone) she asked
"No young one, I am an Autonomous Robotic Organism from the planet Cybertron, also known as an Autobot" I replied
"Like ET?" I didn't what 'ET' was but after knowing how oblique Special Agent Fowler can be during the vorn I have known him, I find it best to simply nod and mobilize.
"Yes young one"
"What you look like?" she inquired
"A giant robot" I answered and she squealed which hurt "Could you please not do that?" I asked politely and then she shushed herself
"I like big robots, they cool" She said happily and I smiled inwardly
"You will see when we arrive at my base" I replied however this did not invoke to reaction I expected, her facial expression saddened at my words "Did I say something wrong young one?" I asked quietly
"I not see" she mumbled
"Pardon
"I not see; mummy said I was born not seeing" she cried. This news shocked me, it was quite uncommon for Cybertronian to have birth defects but after being on earth for a while I realized that on earth, it was a common occurrence. Before anything else was said, my com-link burst to life
;Ratchet to Optimus when will you return to base?; Asked my CMO
"I will return shortly Ratchet and are the others up?" I asked
;I sent Bumblebee to recharge a little while ago and the others are just about to go; He replied
"Tell them to wait and can you wake Bumblebee up I need you all to see someone?" I asked and he just sighed on the other end
"I like Bumblebees" Xena chirped in.
;Who the frag is that; Ratchet shouted
"A human sparkling" I calmly replied
;Why in the pit have you got a human sparkling;
"Ratchet, my com-link is on loud speaker" I told my CMO
"I don't give a slag Optimus, I expected something like this to happen because of the other, not you" the others voiced their offence in the background
"Ratchet, if you would please let me explain the situation before you crash" I was greeted with silence. I spent the next few minutes explaining what had just occurred over the com and stayed quiet to let it settle in. Throughout this time Xena had just been sat there listening while sucking her thumb.
;I knew humans can be cruel but this is extreme, what type of pit spawn would want to abuse a sparkling, not even Megatron is that low, frag even Starscream wouldn't scratch the paint of a sparkling; Ratchet ranted
"Ratchet, would you please tone down on the swearing?" I sighed. I heard a gasp come from the sparkling sat in my passenger seat
"He say baddy word?" she asked
"Yes he said a few bad words that should not repeated" I replied
"Ooommmm, you say naughty words, now you have to go on the naughty step" If I was in my bi-ped mode I would have smirked at this. I also caught a few sniggers from my team
;You can't tell me off I'm older than you; Ratchet argued through the com
"Nope, naughty bots go on naughty step for saying naughty words or naughty bots get grounded" she crossed her arms across her chest and I smirked and a few laughs from the others
;But...; Ratchet was speechless
"No but's, step now" she growled
;I'll let you know that I am almost as old as your planet and should treat me with respect; Ratchet said back
"You not be old, old people are nice but you a grumpy mister and need a nap" the laughter of my team members burst the com-link after the last comment and I was close to laughing myself
"Ratchet could you please send a ground bridge" moments later a circle of swirling colours lit up in my vision. I drove through the ground bridge into the main hanger where I saw everyone including bumblebee, who was holding a blanket around him. I transformed and Xena was in my hand looking a bit dizzy but then snapped out of it, I looked over and saw Ratchet sulking in the corner but once he saw the state Xena was in he got over it immediately. He took her out of my servo and scanned her
"Severely malnourished, in need of a bath and clean clothes. Other than that I don't see any other complications" Xena stood up and put her hands on her hips.
"I said Mr. Grumpy Bot has have nap" I smiled at my CMO getting told off by a youngling
"Yes, yes, one you're settled in" he smiled
"Xena would you like to meet the rest of the team?" I took her from ratchet servo as she nodded enthusiastically
"Hey kid, I'm Arcee"
"Um, Bulkhead"
"Hey there, how's it going squirt, I'm Cliffjumper but you can call me uncle Cliff" Xena giggled as she was passed around the team
"Wait if you're Uncle Cliff, then I get to be Uncle Bulk" and argument broke out between the two with ended up with both of them getting hit by Ratchet's wrench. I shuddered at the sight; even I wasn't safe from that wrench. Finally she was passed to Bumblebee who was almost jumping in anticipation
:Hi there, I'm Bumblebee, me and you are going to play as much as you like tomorrow: I was about to repeat what he said to Xena but she giggled and replied
"Yes, we play all day" everyone was shocked into silence by the fact that she could understand Bumblebee. Suddenly Xena yawned and rubbed her eyes which made almost everyone melt with awe. I stepped towards bumblebee, took her off his servo and held her towards my chassis (Chest).
"I believe I better get her cleaned up and put her to recharge and I think you should all get some rest as well, tomorrow is going to be a busy day." And with that we all dispersed from the main hanger and settled down for the night.

DUH DUH DUNNNNN. I HAVE STARTED THEREWRITE!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry it took so long but I only just got inspired to doit recently also a lot of things have happened since I stopped writing. I won't be posting the second chapter until I have finished the third one. I have said that this story will be coming along very slowly but I'm not going to skip so many episode this time and I want the chapters to be longer than they were before. 

Bu-bu-bye
