As Taylor walked through the portal. Three things were made clear. 1. Aspen was nervous. He knew the autobots would try to kill him. 2. Ratchet was an autobot. And 3. She had fallen extremely and intensely in love with him. The very thought of him made her chest tighten.
When they arrived at the base, all weapons were pointed at Aspen as he flew behind Taylor.

(Taylor pov)
I looked up with shock. What would they hurt Aspen. He's been nothing but kind to me since we met. "Guys this is Taylor. And her friend Aspen. They have something for us. I believe" jack said. "That doesn't matter. Did you get the data card?" Ratchet asked. "No. We didn't know how to download the data onto it" jack replied. "But I did" I stated. All eyes on me. Literally. There were 6 robots in the room excluding Aspen. "I downloaded the entire iacon database and the entire decepticon database into this data card. But tell me why should I give it to you?" I asked. They all looked shocked. "Miss Taylor, we are fighting a war. And we need to win against Megatron. So please, give us the data card" the tallest one pleaded. "What are your names?" I asked. "Before we tell you what's it gonna take for you to hand over the card?" Ratchet asked. "Information and a promise" I stated. "What kind of promise?" The tall one asked. "My friend is not a decepticon. He used to be. Until I changed him" I explained. "Changed him. How?" Ratchet asked.
-May I?- I asked. -you may my daughter- he replied. "I was given a gift. I've had this gift for almost 6 months now. I also have a spark inside my own heart. I took lazerbeak's old spark sliver out of him. And gave him a sliver of mine. Hence why he is now Aspen" I informed. "Then we promise to to hurt him or harm him in anyway. I am Optimus Prime" Optimus stated. "And this is bulkhead, Arcee, And bumblebee" he added. "Thank you. And if I may ask one other question?" I said. Optimus nodded. "Who is primus?" I asked. -I could tell you that- he said. -I know. But I wanna hear it from them. You can tell me the stuff they missed out- I suggested. -ok- he said.

"Who is primus?" She asked. "How do you know of Primus?" Optimus replied. "He is the one who gave me my powers and my spark" she stated. "Primus was the first prime. When cybertron was brand new only he and one other existed. The other was unicron. A chaos bringer. Primus fought him for centuries. When he grew weak from fighting he created 13 primes to help him. And he became one with our planets very core. Unicron was banished to space where he became this planets very core. Or at least he was. I had managed to defeat him but lost myself in the process" he explained. She nodded a few times.

I took the data card out my pocket. And held it up. "I will ask this. I go with you on relic missions" I stated. They looked at each other and then nodded at me. "Here then" I tossed it up at Optimus. "I need to lie down. I've barely slept" I walked up to the couch and collapsed onto it. Aspen lay on my back. "Night Aspen" I yawned. He nuzzled close.

(Taylor dream)
I was back here again. Aspen was with me this time. But he was human. "Aspen?" I asked. "Taylor. My dear Carrier" he sighed. "My daughter" primus appeared in front of us. "This is the last time you will come here. So let's dive right into it" the landscape disappeared and in front of us was a giant silver orb with blue in the middle. "This is who I am" he said. I held Aspen close to me. "You have an option my daughter. You become immortal like me. And so would Aspen. Or you return to you old life. No powers. No contact with me. And no Aspen. Please make your decision" he stated.
