Dreadwing continued to pace throughout the base. It's been an hour since Ratchet came back from dropping Shelby and June off at the hospital. They have yet to hear anything.

"Heard anything yet, Jack?" Dreadwing stopped pacing for a moment to ask the black haired boy.

"Not since you asked 10 minutes ago. I'm sure she is fine. They are probably running a bunch of test to cross everything off the list." Jack assured him.

Dreadwing gave a low scowl and continued to pace. He didn't like not being able to be with Shelby. She had become his world. He just got her back and now she's gone again.

"Its finished." Ratchet boosted from another part of base.

"What's finished, Ratchet?" Miko asked.

Ratchet walked closer to the upper deck the humans hung out on. He held a tiny microchip in the palm of his servo.

"Uh what is it?" Miko dully asked.

"This will let Dreadwing be able to go be with Shelby in the hospital." Ratchet exclaimed, excited about his little invention.

"You were able to complete it. Well done, old friend." Optimus gave Ratchet a pat on the back.

Dreadwing stopped pacing and walked over to the group. Curious on how such a tiny chip could get him into the hospital.

"I will have to surgically install it, but once its in you will be able to become human to be with Shelby."

Dreadwing gasp, this could be the best news he heard all day. "Do it." He ordered.

*At the hospital*

"From what we can see, nurse Darby. She's perfectly healthy everywhere else. Unfortunately, I believe she has suffered extreme trauma and her brain has just shut down to try and understand what's going on around her. She just needs some time to wake." Said one of the doctors.

June let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "So she is not in a coma?" She had to make sure.

"No, just resting. We will need to run more test once she is awake. From what you told me, she is going to need help processing what she has had to deal with." He answered.

"Thank you, Doctor." She thanked. He gave her a small nod and walked away to help with other patients.

"I'm looking for Shelby Bishop."

June heard a familiar voice say down the hall. She stepped out of the room to see who it was.

"I'm sorry only family can visit her at this moment." A nurse told the man.

"I am her family!" He yelled angrily at her.

He was tall and muscular. He wore black combat boots and fit blue jeans. He was wearing a plain golden V-neck t-shirt with a blue and golden leather jacket. His hair was black with highlights of blue and blond. The sneer on his face and the cold look in his ruby red eyes told June exactly who he was.

"Nurse he's good. He's with me." June interrupted the scene.

The frightened girl gave her a nod and Dreadwing followed her.

"How are you...you human?" June asked silently.

"Ratchet created a small device to make me human. So I could come see Shelby." Dreadwing explained.

"You must really love her?" June teased.

Dreadwing looked at her in confusion. He never thought of himself loving someone.

"I don't know about that." He contested.

June just gave him a small smile as they walked into Shelby's room. He stopped at the edge of her bed, looking down on her sleeping form. She looks so peaceful. Like she was no more in pain. All he wanted to do was lay down with her and hold her close.

'Is this what love feels like?' he asked himself.

He walked around the side of he bed and ran his hand up the sheets tell he got to her hand. It lay lifeless next her body. He ran his fingers over her hand unsure of what he should do.

"Hold her hand." June whispered from the end of the room.

He looked up at June with confusion. She gave him a 'go ahead' wave with her hand. He looked back down and slowly wrapped his hand around hers. His hand shaking as he tried to hold on tight. He fell to his knees and brought her hand to his lips. He placed a soft kiss on her hand.

"I promise I won't let go. I promise I will always be here. I will be here when you awake. I promise." His voice soft and sweet.

June felt her heart melt at the sight. She took her leave, to let the two have some privacy.

*Time skip*

Dreadwing had his head resting on the bed next to Shelby. His hand still intertwined with hers. He must of fallen asleep for he didn't realize the three children had walked into the room.

"Don't wake him." June warned in a whisper.

"They look so peaceful." Miko cooed.

"I think we came at a bad time." Jack offered.

"Its okay you can stay." Dreadwing opened his eyes and looked up at the three.

They each gave him a nervous smile. For the first time since he landed on this planet, he gave them a small smile back.

"The bots are worried about both of you." Jack told him as they walked in and sat down on the chairs on the other side of the room.

"The doctors say she will be alright. She just needs some rest. It's when she wakes that we need to worry." June tired to comfort them.

The children stayed for a few more minutes. Then it was time for them to go home. It was just Dreadwing and Shelby alone again. He rested his chin on his arm, looking up at the beauty laying in front of him. He sat up and leaned in close to her. He lightly moved a strand of hair that was laying over her face.

"I hope you come back to me soon. I miss you." He whispered.

With that he could of sworn he saw her eyelids twitch a bit. Sadly it looked as it if could of also been his imagination.

*Time Skip*

A few days pasted and there had been no change. Dreadwing never left her side. June visited when she was working at the hospital. He heard that Ratchet was working on a way to make more chips. So the others would be able to walk among the humans. The doctors took Shelby to get another cat scan today. They say it was to see if any damage was starting to show. Dreadwing waited in her room. He paced back and forth until she came back and once she was back, he went right back to where he was before. Sitting by her side, hold her hand close to him. He wondered what was going on in her mind.

*Shelby's mind*

I feel as if I've been wondering in darkness for weeks. I wish for once to see sunlight. I wish for company. Since I saw my mother, its been nothing but silence. Why couldn't the monster who used to be my father just kill me and get it over with. This is worse than death. Though I was saved by someone who actually cares for me. At least I think he does. He said he missed me. I know I miss him very much. Will I ever see him again? Will I be stuck in this dark void forever. I can scream and all it does is echo back at me.

"God this place is so annoying. First it was like a horror show. Now its just dull and boring. I want to go home! Can anybody hear me?" I yell into nothingness.

Every once and while I do hear voices. I think it's just because I'm going crazy, but I swear I've heard Dreadwing's voice every now and then. I could just be losing my mind.

"I promise." His voice echos throughout.

"I miss you." He cries.

I want to tell him I'm here. I want him to know I miss him too. I want to get out of here, but I don't know how.

"Get me out of here!" I yell some more. I keep walking. Hoping I will find my way out.

*Back to the hospital*

"Is there anyway to make her wake up?" Dreadwing asked one of the nurses who came to check on her.

"We can't force her to wake. That is something she has to do on her own." She answered.

"Is there ways to help her wake up?" He whispered looking at the sleeping women.

"Just keep talking to her, holding her hand. Remind her of memories, fun memories. Its a good way to guide her to want to wake up." She explained to him, then she left the room.

Dreadwing went and sat back down in the chair next to Shelby's bed. He started to think of the memories they made together. It was mostly filled with trying to find each other. Her repairing him. Her singing.

"Her singing." Dreadwing thought out loud.

"Her song." He got up quick and ran out of the room.

When he came back he was dragging June in behind him.

"What is it Dreadwing?" She questioned.

"I need you to play a song off your phone. I think it might help guide her back to me...to us." He said rather quickly.

"Oh! Good idea. What song?" June pulled out her phone and got ready to type the title of the song in.

"Right here by Ashes Remains." He told her, staring at Shelby.

Praying to Primus that this would work. June started to play the song. Dreadwing stood next to the bed, holding Shelby's hand, staring down at her, hoping for a sign that she was listening. The song was almost over. Dreadwing was losing hope. He looked away, sadness forming on his face. A lone tear peaking out of his eye.

"This was supposed to work." He whispered.

Still holding her hand, he felt a squeeze. He brought his head up in surprise and quickly looked down at Shelby. Her eyes were open and staring back at him.

"Shelby?" He wasn't sure if this was just another trick.

"It is I, Dreadwing." She gave him a small smile. The tear began to roll down Dreadwing's face, but this time it was for happiness.
