You were startled awake by the door to your cell opening. You looked over to the door and saw Bumblebee walking in quickly and quietly.

"What do you want, bug?" you asked as you sat up.

:Come with me:, he whispered.

You furrowed your optic ridges. "Why should I?"

:You want to see your brother again, don't you?: he asked. :I'm helping you escape.:

Your optics widen. "But... won't you get in trouble?"

Bumblebee shook his helm. :I'm going to sound the alarm as soon as you get to the main room. So hurry.:

You nod and he quickly pulled out your weapons from his back. Your gasped and placed them where they normally go. "Thank you", you whisper quietly. "You were the best part of my stay here, bu- Bumblebee."

Bumblebee's eyes fluttered with happiness before he stepped aside and let you get past. You quickly moved towards the main room where you saw the ground bridge controls. Ratchet was nowhere in sight. You heard yelling coming from the hall, and recognizing it as Bumblebee raising the alarm. You quickly typed in random coordinates and opened the ground bridge. You were about to go through it when you heard several footsteps clattering into the main room. You grinned at them, and saluted before darting through the ground bridge, it closing soon after you went through. Another bridge opened up soon after and out came several Decepticons, as if they were prepared for this. Your optics widened when you saw your brother among them. You raced through the vehicons and wrapped your arms around your brother.

"Next time, make sure I'm out of the mine before blowing it up!"

Starscream stuttered before hugging you in return. He laughed quietly but it soon stopped once another groundbridge portal opened. The Autobots came through, aiming their weapons at the Decepticons. You instantly pulled up your sword and was about to charge when your optics caught Bumblebee's. They were scared. You sigh softly before putting you sword back on your hip.

"Starscream, let's go home", you whisper. Starscream nods and leads you through the ground bridge and you were back in the familiar place of the Nemesis. You smiled happily and found yourself admiring the dark beauty of it.

The Autobot base was brighter, but this place was home. Though there was one bot you knew you were going to miss and that was Bumblebee.

"Sister, what is on your mind?"

You blinked at Starscream's voice and shook you head. "Nothing of importance, brother."

Starscream glanced at you but didn't argue. "Then let me introduce you to the medic I procured in your absence."

"Medic?" You asked with a confused smile.

"Indeed. Knockout and his assistant Breakdown. Hopefully they are not out at this moment", Starscream muttered. You laughed quietly as you walked beside your brother to the medbay. Luckily, there were two bots inside. One a sleek, shiny red bot, who obviously really cared about his finish, the other a big bulky blue bot with yellow optics.

"Knockout, Breakdown, I'd like you to meet (Y/N)", Starscream says proudly. You shook with quiet laughter at the way he said it. Breakdown jumped, not having heard you come in, and nearly whacked Knockout in the face.

"Breakdown, be careful!" Knockout shrieked. "You nearly scratched.. my... finish..." he trailed off ad he noticed you and you found him staring at you with awe.

You chuckled lightly.

"It's nice to meet you Knockout, Breakdown", you greeted politely.

"It's nice to meet you too, (Y/N)", Breakdown answers. He looks over to Knockout, only to find that he was still staring at you. You were starting to feel slightly uncomfortable. Breakdown nudged him and he jumped.

"Uh, I'm, uh, Knockout. It's nice to meet you!" Knockout stumbled over his words. You laughed quietly before looking around.

"This is quite the nice medbay. Much nicer than the Autobots", you say quietly.

"Autobots?" questioned three voices. You chuckle sadly.

"That's where I was. When you blew up the cave, Starscream, the Autobots and I were going in the same direction. And I happened to accidentally go through their groundbridge, and was taken captive."

The three were silent for a moment before Knockout spoke up. "How did you escape?"

You smile softly at the thought of the black and yellow bug that helped you. "I have my ways", you answered before changing the subject. "Would like to give me a tour of the medbay? It is one part of the ship I am not terribly familiar with."

Knockiut grinned and immediately began talking. You smiled at Starscream who scoffed and rolled his eyes. You followed Knockout around as he explained a whole bunch of stuff you weren't even going to try to understand. Soon, you came to this large doorway and it opened. You gasped at the sight of Megatron lying on the medical berth.

"What happened to him?" you asked quietly.

"Space bridge explosion", Breakdown answers. "He nearly didn't survive, but Starscream got him here in time."

You glanced at Starscream in confusion. Why didn't he just let him die? He shook his head, probably saying that he'll tell you later. You focused back on what Knockout and Breakdown were saying.

"He's currently in a coma", Knockout says. "His processor is active, but he's not necessarily aware of what happened or what's been going on. Commander Starscream has been leading in his stead."

You glanced at your brother and he gave you sly smile, and you knew he had a plan.

"Well, this is all very interesting, but I think the commander and I have overstayed our welcome. Perhaps I shall come back and visit another time", you say politely.

Knockout nodded excitedly until Breakdown whacked him harshly. Then he started yelling at Breakdown about his finish. You chuckled and followed Starscream out of the medbay.

"Well, they're certainly an interesting duo", you say with smile. Starscream nods.

"Indeed", he murmurs. "Now... I think we have a lot to talk about. Shall we go for a flight?"

"Always, brother", you grin. Together, you walk to the fight deck where you take off in the clear blue skies and fly around for a while, discussing everything that occurred in your absence. You didn't tell him much of what occurred during your stay with the Autobots, not wanting him to know that you escaped with the help of an Autobot. You also sincerely hoped that Bumblebee had not gotten in trouble.

Starscream had just finished talking when both of you got a message from Knockout.

"Uh, Commander Starscream, there is something that requires your attention."

Starscream groaned. "Well, it appears that I must be going, dear sister."

"Indeed. I think I will stay out a bit longer, so I will meet you back at the ship."

Starscream was quick to leave and you continued to fly around, enjoying the wind blowing over your frame. However, it wasn't long until you noticed a familiar black and yellow vehicle driving around. You weren't entirely sure if it was Bumblebee but you honestly hoped it was.

You flew a little closer, only to veer upwards when the car made a sudden move off the road and into the desert. You followed up in the air until the road was no longer visible to the car.

You watched as the car transformed and aimed a couple pairs of blasters at you. You couldn't help but smile mentally at the sight of the bug.

You flew closer and transformed in mid-air, dropping down to the ground gracefully. You watched Bumblebee warily, afraid he might shoot you. However, when he see it was you, he lowered his weapons.

:I thought you were Starscream for a moment:, he mumbled.

You chuckled. "While I agree that Starscream and I do look similar, I am most definitely not my brother."

:What are you doing out here?:, Bumblebee asked.

"I could ask you the same thing, bug", you replied.

Bumblebee's door wings lowered in embarrassment slightly. :I went out on patrol, saying that I was going to search for energon mines, when in reality, I was kinda hoping to see you...:

Your wings shot up in surprise, and you cursed them. Your wings always gave away your emotions, even if you kept a straight face. "Why would you want to see me? I'm a Decepticon and you're an Autobot. If we are seen talking together, by any of our teammates, we could be considered traitors to our cause!"

Bumblebee flinched back slightly, and you realized how angry you probably looked.

"Sorry", you mumbled... "I'm just... not used to having anyone other than my family wanting to see me."

Bumblebee whirled at you, laughing quietly. You pretended to take offense.

"Are you laughing at me, bug?!" you snap, though a small smile was on your face. Bumblebee shook his head, but his body shook with barely contained laughter.

You chuckled softly before leaping at him, knocking him over. You stood over him triumphantly. "This is what you get for laughing at me."

However, the bug had other plans, and used one of his legs to swipe yours out from under you. You fell backwards, a shocked expression your face as you quickly sat up, glaring up at Bumblebee playfully.

"Oh, so that's how it's going to be?" Your voice was playfully annoyed and Bumblebee could tell that.

You leaped up, and tackled him to the ground. You guys rolled around for several minutes, playfully fighting, until he paused. He was on top of you, and your back was pressed into the ground. You watched him carefully as his door wings drooped.

:I've been called back to base:, he whispered softly. You frowned before thinking of something.

"Maybe we could meet up again sometime?" you ask quietly.

Bumblebee's door wings shot up in surprise. :You... want to see me again?:

You smile softly. "Yeah. You're my favorite Autobot. You helped me escape and you told me about some of your adventures while I was being held captive."

:What if we get caught?:

You frown. "We'll deal with that if it comes to that. But for now, let's hope that we don't get caught."

Bumblebee's door wings shot up in happiness before he listed a string of numbers.

:My communication link:, he said. :In case you want to call me.:

You memorized the numbers he listed and smiled at him, before freezing as a ground bridge opened. Bumblebee was quick to transform his blasters at you and pretend to pin you down as some of the Autobots came out. You watched them fearfully, afraid they would know what had occurred between the two of you. When you noticed that Bee wasn't holding you down very tightly, you were quick to swipe his legs out of from under him, and and pull out your sword, backing away from the Autobots.

"Stay away from me", you hiss at them. They all had their blasters aimed at you, and you were deathly afraid. Afraid of getting hurt, afraid that they would find out that Bumblebee had helped you escape. Your optics darted over to Bumblebee, and you noticed his pleading optics. You take a deep breath and place your sword back by your hip.

"Until next time, bug", you spit at him, before transforming and flying a little ways away until the cloud cover hid you. You watched as Optimus helped Bumblebee up. You wished you could hear what they were saying, but didn't dare move closer. Soon enough, the Autobots started to move into the ground bridge. Bumblebee was the last one, and you watched as he glanced in the direction you were at. You couldn't help but show yourself slightly, causing the bug's door wings to shoot up in surprise before he bolted through the portal. You let out a quiet sigh before heading back to the warship, thoughts of what had happened on your mind, specifically of an Autobot bug.
