Is it really unfortunate??? I'll let you be the judge.

Enjoy!~

Winterbloom quickly onlined her optics at the sound of a gun shot.

Without hesitation, she launched herself off the berth and ran to her room. "Shockwave!?" She called but he wasn't there.

Quickly she dashed to the living room and looked about only to find her back and front door busted open.

"Shockwave!" Winterbloom ran outside to see Ironhide pointing one of his cannons at Shockwaves downed form. Winterbloom didn't think, she acted and right now, her spark said protect Shockwave.

"NO!" She screamed, slamming into the weapon specialists side, sending the both of them rolling on the ground.

Using all of her weight, she quickly grabbed his cannon and pushed it into the ground, pinning it down so it couldn't be used. "W-Winterbloom?" Ironhide froze, staring at the femme on top of him.

Suddenly there was the roar of an engine followed by the familiar sounds of a transformation.

Everything slowed for Winterbloom as she turned, digging her peds into the ground, and rushing to Jazz's airborne frame.

His face was frightening. The visor was dark, almost a navy blue. His denta, was bared as he roared with hate and fury.

Winterbloom jumped colliding with his frame. She tumbled on the ground but quickly got to her peds so she could stand between Shockwave and the mechs she knew as friends.

"Stop!" She panted, vents emitting steam from the stress she was currently dealing with.

"Get out of tha way Winterbloom...." Jazz growled, bent over and poised for attack.

"No." She said firmly. "Why are you attacking Shockwave?"

Jazz seemed to falter at that, "A-Are ya kidding me? He deserves ta fraggin melt in tha pits!" The femme took a step back from the intensity of his voice. "Ya have no idea what he did ta ya. What he did ta us."

Ironhide stepped between Winterbloom and Jazz, trying to calm the situation seeing as now, Shockwave was of no threat.

"Jazz... you need to go and cool off." Ironhide said warningly.

Suddenly there was a blue blur and a sparkling collided into Winterblooms stomach. "Mother!"

Another sparkling appeared, transforming from the air to land on her chassis, wrapping his long arms around her neck.

"Blurr, Soundwave. What are you doing here?" Winterbloom removed them to kneel so they were optic level.

"We were worried about you." Blurr answered.

Soundwave placed a small servo on her arm. "We felt your fear and came to your rescue."

Winterbloom smiled, and pulled them both in for a hug. "Thank you. You both are my knights in shinning armor."

Soundwave looked over her shoulder and gasped softly. "Shockwave?"

The purple, one eyed Decepticon, looked up at the call of his name. "Officer- incorrect..... Soundwave." He greeted after his mistake.

"Soundy you know him?" Blurr asked.

"Negative. I've red about him."

Winterbloom sighed and looked to Ironhide and Jazz. Thankfully the saboteur seemed to calm down with the help of 'Hide.

Loud ped falls came from inside the house and out ducked Megatron and Optimus through the tiny back door. It was surprising that they could even fit through there with their large frames.

"Jazz, Ironhide. What is going on?" Optimus Prime asked.

Megatron scanned the area and saw a broken Shockwave laying on the ground, he immediately headed for him but stopped when the femme suddenly stood between the commander and her sparklings along with Shockwave. "Fear not... I will not inflict harm upon him."

Winterbloom reluctantly backed down and watched as the ex-warlord knelt next to Shockwaves side. It was a touching scene for everyone. Megatrons opics, were filled with hidden sorrow and anger. Not towards Shockwave, but how he came to be so broken.

~~~~~~~

"He what!" Ironhide shouted in surprise.

"Before Shockwave was turned into what ya see now, he was ah determined 'n' powerful influence over tha Senate, back in tha old days." Jazz supplied.

"Until greed and power tainted the Senate." Optimus rumbled. "Senator Shockwave was abducted and a memosurgen removed his emotional circuits..."

Everything was quiet and suddenly, Ironhide broke the silence. "And he wants to go back to what he was? Is that even possible?"

Megatron sighed from the window, back presented to the group. "Nothing is truly impossible.... I'm sure there is a way."

~~~~~~

Ratchet came later in that day to fix up Shockwave and replace his arm. He praised Winterbloom for her clean work at clamping the severed wires and made sure that the one opticed bot was in top shape.

Jazz was to remain at the house, guarding Winterbloom and the sparklings encase Shockwave was having a facade.

{:Hey 'Bloom....:} Jazz whispered over the comm from his spot at the table. Winterbloom glanced up from the data pads she was reading over. {: Ah'm sorry for tha way ah acted.:}

Setting down the tablets, the femme got up and walked around the table, Jazz giving off a questioning look. What happened next, left the saboteur speechless.

Winterbloom literally threw herself at him, arms wrapped around his neck, face pressed between his cables and shoulder. At first Jazz didn't know what was happening until he felt her body shake. After everything that happened today, her walls finally broke.

"I-I'm sorry..." She sobbed, clutching the saboteurs armor. "I just.... I'm so confused and lost.... I don't know what I'm doing or why anymore. All I know is that I have Blurr and Soundwave yet e-everyone keeps saying things that I can't remember."

Jazz rested the side of his face against her helm. Wrapping his arms around her slim frame in hopes to comfort her. "Its ok... There's no need ta be scared... or afraid..." he whispered. "Ya have us. Even ol' Megs." Jazz felt her face turn to rest in his neck cables. "An within do time.... yer'll remember...."

"Then what should I do d-during that time?"

Jazz rubbed her back, "just keep bein' yer'self. keep lookin after Blurr 'n' Sounds."

Winterbloom smiled as her optics began to close, "thank you... un..cle Jazz....."

Jazz's visor brightened quickly in surprise which turned into a fond smile. "Yer welcome, lil' lady."

Gently, with the grace a spy cold only have, he got up, carrying Winterbloom in his arms to the couch where he gently laid her down. Getting another look at her, he started to see the resemblance she held to Lily. Maybe there really wasn't much, but her personality, was just like her human self.

With silent ped falls, Jazz pulled a chair up next to the couch so he could monitor the hallway and pulled out his harp from subspace. Softly, he began to pluck the Energon strings, sending a silent melody within the house.

~~~~~

"Soundwave, what the frag are you doing?" Blurr exclaimed to his brother who was already half way out of the window.

"Retrieve Shockwaves emotion filter." He answered curtly.

Blurr gaped at that, "but didn't that happen along time ago?"

He received a nod and the blue sparkling groaned in annoyance. "How are you going to find it, it could be anywhere."

"Unsure... but I have a feeling." Soundwave said before jumping out of their window.

Blurr bit his lip and rolled his optics, "well you're not going alone." He followed receiving a surprised look from his older brother. "But you do know, that mother will be extremely upset that we left."

"I know." Soundwave looked away and Blurr sighed.

"Alright, lets hurry up and come home then."

Soundwave transformed and Blurr grabbed onto his wings as they whizzed off to the city of Kaon, where they hoped Shockwaves past self was.

~~~~~~~

Optimus, Megatron, Prowl, Ironhide and Ratchet all sat at a table with grim faces.

"It can't be done even if we wanted it. The surgery happened along time ago, it could be anywhere." Ratchet informed.

Prowl looked over to the medic, "but wasn't Trepan the one who did the surgery?"

Ratchet nodded.

"How did Shockwave even end up like that anyways?" Ironhide asked.

"Lost his emotions, or nearly falling apart?" Prowl raised a brow.

"Falling apart. Didn't he disappear when we left Earth?"

There was a long silence and Megatron finally spoke. "Shockwave was to remain on Earth in order to monitor the signals of Unicrons body. Before we ended the war, our plan was to revive him, thus destroying Earth." There were many glares from the table but he continued. "However, I lost contact with him around the time Cybertron was being rebuilt."

"Has he said anything about what happened to him?" Optimus finally spoke.

"No, it was as though his final days on Earth were erase. Or so he told me. Later a Decepticon refugee ship picked him up and dropped him off at Kaon.... where Winterbloom found him."

Optimus nodded, "until we can figure out what to do, I believe it is wise leave him where he is."

A slam of the servo made everyone jump. "Optimus you must be joking!" Ironhide roared. "He is a trained killer, a ruthless Decepticon, and you want to allow him to share the home of not only a femme but sparklings?!"

"Ironhide shut the frag up! Jazz is on house duty so it won't be a problem." Ratchet scolded.

Begrudgingly, the weapons specialist sat down but earned an upset look by Prime. "Old friend.... even a Decepticon, can have a change of spark. You have living proof sitting beside you."

Ironhides optics widened as he realized what he did. He insulted Megatron and every ex-Decepticon in the world by saying that they were cold blood killers. "My apologies."

Megatron closed his optics, arms crossed over his chassis. "You can not wash away 20,000 years of civil war in a life time. It's to be expected...... but don't let it happen again."
