Happy Easter guys. Here's some Lily and Optimus bonding time.

Lily sat hugging her legs with her chin resting on her knees in the med bay on Ratchets desk that overlooked the entire room.

Not only was Mearing there, but so was Blurr.

Ratchet had told the child that Blurr simply had a bad nightmare. But Lily knew better. It shook her to her bones, but what she saw wasn't a nightmare, it was a horrific memory on her sires face. She only knew this because she too had them.

The Medbay doors opened and someone entered. Lily didn't look up from the two unconscious forms.
Judging by the sound of the foot steps, it was a large bot of heavier mass.

"Lily." A deep and calming voice spoke. She looked up to see Optimus gazing down at her with his piercing blue optics. "Won't you come walk with me?" He asked gently, extending a servo for her to stand on.

She looked over to the sleeping form of Blurr, as if expecting him to sit up and give her permission to go, but he didn't.

Lily sighed and stepped in Optimus's servo thinking that he'd begin walking, but he didn't. She looked up to she his gaze falling on Blurr. He blinked suddenly and started to walk out of the Medbay, down the corridor and outside into the night air.

It was chilly but Lily welcomed the feeling nipping at her flesh. It made her more awake and alert.

"Optimus..." She said sensing the leaders emotions somehow. She knew he was worried for Blurr, even if he didn't show it. "Blurr will be ok." She reassured him with a weak smile.

Optimus's optics widened before a smile graced his face plates as well. "That he will be." He said sitting down towards the end of the runway placing Lily on his shoulder.

~~~

Lily sat quietly looking up into the stars, thinking. "Hey optimus?"
The giant bot tilted his helm to the side a little, signalling for her to continue. "Why is it that Blurr is always getting hurt and stuff?"

Optimus was surprised to say the least. He never thought of a sparkling asking such questions.

Lily waited patiently for him to collect his thoughts. "That I am not certain of." Optimus said softly.

Lily wasn't satisfied so she asked another question. "Why is it that.... ummm .... what's the proper word." She growled in frustration Maybeeeeeeeeee?????

Sighing, she tried explaining what she was wanting to say. "Sunstreaker told me of the time Blurr was..... Godly." Optimus was intrigued by this. Sunstreaker telling a human of this was groundbreaking. Perhaps it was because Sideswipe and Blurr had affections for her and that he was simply pulled along with all the emotions. Optimus wasn't sure but continued to listen.

"He said that Blurr was glowing with light like... Pr. .. Primus." She stuttered at the foreign terminology. "On Earth we call that a Demi God. One who has the powers of God, but are mortal. Who can die." Their cultures were so similar, it was fascinating. "If Blurr really has that power. ... then why does he keep getting hurt?" Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

"Blurr's powers were bestowed upon him from the relics that we protected on Cybertron. In our planets final days, they were destroyed along with everything that stored our history and culture. It's over-seer was offlined in battle along with everyone else that worked there. With the destruction of the Hall of Relics, went Blurr's powers and hopes of ending this war."

Lily frowned at this. It was like when her home was destroyed. Everything she ever knew and cared for was gone. But....

"You said your history and culture was gone right?" She asked. Optimus nodded, curiosity nipping his processor. "My mother once told me that, when everything is taken away and you know not where to go. Asking yourself how to move forwards; just look to the past and our ancestors will guide us. By learning from their mistakes, we will surpass them and create a better future. And in the process, our culture isn't gained or lost. It merely runs in the vains of its host. Like that of the rivers in Egypt. It can only be passed down from generation to generation. Never lost but slowly altered and molded a little better than that of the last."

The stars that night seemed to shine a little brighter for Optimus. "Amazingly spoken." They both turned to see Ratchet with his arms crossed and a smirk on his facial plates. "You can take away our freedom and our hope. But you can never take away who we are, or how we got here."

A long comfortable and content silence stretched as they all looked to the bright sky.

Ratchet broke the silence. "Blurr is awake now if you wish to see him, however he may seem a little off. He is very insecure about his face. But since you're his sparkling, it can't be helped." Ratchet held out his servo as Optimus took Lily and placed her down.

Together, his Medical Chief and his grandsparkling (granddaughter.) left to see Blurr. Hopefully to put him at ease.

At that moment, Optimus couldn't help but think about how many young bots he had on his team. Blurr was the youngest, followed by Bumblebee then to Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. That was more than half of the Autobots currently on Earth.

"Primus." Optimus cursed slightly to himself.

An: yeah small chapter. But Optimus needed some bonding time and the next chapters kind of similar. That's why I'm publishing them at the same time. C yall later ;)
