Redstar nodded and quickly made his way out of the medbay making sure his optics were firmly on the ground until out in the hall. Where are ya Cloudburst?
~*~*~*~
Chimera scowled at Thundercracker, “I’m not stupid, Thundercracker! I *know* what it is. I suppose my question is how did it get to be here. And I swear if you decide to give me the Cybertronian sex talk I will be forced to kill you.”

"Well, when two Cybertronians get together and decide to have a sparkling of their own-" Thundercracker couldn't help it or hide the wicked grin on his face.

Chimera smirked, crossed her arms over her chest, cocked her hip and smirked, "Indeed, and would you care to give me the practical lesson instead of the theory?"

Cloudburst felt a random tangle of embarrassment and just awkward feelings from Redstar. I'm, in quarters, hun. She'd already told him that... Are you alright?
----------
Patent concern washed over his faceplates when he saw Jazz react to the injuries on his back. Once the saboteur settled, Prime listened patiently. "Then your plan worked well. Even if you managed to return with an extra spark. Thank you, Jazz. My apologies for calling you in with damage. Go see Ratchet." He nodded and dismissed the Solstice.
--------
Twilight brightened, looking up at the red mech. "Them? Yeah, found 'em stuck to the ceiling once!"

"The child is a femme and I'm not quite sure how she got here. I was helping watch one of the radars in the control room when I spotted this faint energy signature about five miles east of the base. So I decided to check it out. At first when I got there I couldn't see anyone then I could hear the mewling of a child and walked out a little further when I spotted her sitting in the field with no one around," Skywarp explained, "I went to get a better look at her and a slipped on a loose patch of dirt. When I looked up her optics were locked onto me. It felt like for a split second my spark had taken over my processor and I found myself picking her up and taking her inside. During the raid I hid her in my quarters and decided it would be best to figure out her identity. Apparently this little one was a product of a one nighter with that nuetral seeker from the academy, Oblivion Hawk."

I, yeah, I’m fine. Redstar made his way through the halls, not in any great rush, but just moving at a steady pace and finally entered their quarters. “Hey there,” he mumbled, went over to the berth and crawled into it. He lay on his front for a while before rolling onto his side and just looking at Cloudburst. I’m glad yer safe ‘n sound.
~*~*~*~
Chimera looked at Skywarp and raised an optic ridge. “I see.” She gave him a cool smile, “I just wonder what my mother will make of this.” Shrugging she peered down at the little femme for a moment and then turned to look at Thundercracker, “Well, I suppose I better go to the washracks and get this off of me. “ Her lips twitched into a small smile, “Care to join me?”
Not giving him the chance to answer she started to saunter off but had not gotten far before turning to look at Skywarp, “Oh, and you can clean up the mess on the floor.” Turning away again, she strolled out the door.

Skywarp sighed heavily and set the sparkling on the sofa while he got out the supplies to clean the floor. Once it was spotless the black seeker put everything away and flopped onto the couch next to Illuminescence.
Illuminescence climbed onto her father's lap. She curled up and started to take a nap.

Cloudburst looked back at Redstar, propped up on a hip and one elbow. When he spoke she smiled gently. I, of course I am. I've been here. She moved to sit, letting her mate rest his head on her lap. It went alright? the femme asked, smoothing over his brow.

Redstar nuzzled against Cloudburst and took comfort from the warmth and hum of her systems and the quiet but steadfast pulse of her spark and just being near to his bonded. Yeah, went fine. Got in pretty easy. They caught on quick once all th' lights went dark. Ironhide got inta it with Starscream and I think one o' th' other flyers. Weird thing is he didn't look in that bad o' shape, but, dunno. Somethin' seemed kinda off. Dunno. Probably imaginin' things. Anyhow, Raven's in th' medbay... They took her chestplate and did Primus knows what to her.
The last bit brought Redstar's embarrassment back to the fore.

Thundercracker rolled his optics at the femme’s poorly aimed innuendo. Really, youngling, he remarked to her over the comms as she left, I’ve lasted this long without a femme – you think I’ll give into you? Chuckling, the Seeker stood up, nodding to Skywarp and his little femme before leaving the common room. You’ll have to try harder than that. A decent recharge in his quarters didn’t sound too bad…
---
The Solstice nodded at Prime’s dismissal, managing to get up on his own, and rather smoothly considering his injuries. Pausing at the door, Jazz glanced back towards the CO, “Y’know, Ravage’s a straight line t’Soundwave. Might be wha’ we need.” Nodding once again, the saboteur headed on out of Optimus’ office, debating between heading to the medbay now – Ratchet probably had his hands full with Raven and Ironhide (and he really didn’t feel like going near it right now) – or just heading to his quarters. A decent recharge sounded better than dealing with a grumpy Ratchet right now…
---
Inferno chuckled, recognizing immediately a sparkling’s captured interest, and the interest of her friend. “Well, they ‘bviously were gettin' payback’d f’r u’prank o’th’ir own. They’re serious pranksters, th’ both o’ ‘em. There’s u’whole list o’thin’s they’ve done, most’y t’th’ ‘ntire base. Wanna hear ‘em?”

"They didn't seem too happy to be up there... Blamed Ratchet and... mostly Ratchet." She couldn't remember the other name that Sunstreaker kept grumbling. "Tell more what they did, please?" Twilight chirped, perking at what seemed like a goldmine of stories. She leaned forward, willing to give rapt attention to something other than her parents.
----------
"I am aware of that." Optimus replied, leery at what exactly the saboteur might be getting at. The Peterbilt nearly hissed at seeing Jazz's shoulders as he left. Another mech he'd need to check back up on in a few days. The sooner everyone was back to functionality the sooner they could deal with Ravage and get the Decepticon out of the base before they had another fiasco like Starscream.
----------
She kept petting over Redstar’s brow. Well, the jets are irritatingly tough, a frown tugged at the edge of her lips. The helo knew that from personal experience, wouldn’t blame the old mech for not being in perfect shape after taking on Starscream.
Cloudburst shuttered her optics a moment in sympathy for Raven and looked down at her bonded, noting his embarrassment. She’ll be alright now, she murmured tightly and put a hand over his chest, they can fit a new plate for her…

Inferno chuckled, nodding his head. "Tha' sounds like thos' two. There's norma'ly u'Unholy Trini'y goin' on wit' Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, an' Jazz. Once, they got th' entire base 'n one cycle. I... can't remember much u'tha' incident - I was locked in u'storage closet. But there was one time they filled u'lot o'rooms 'n th' base wit'... weird lit'le... paper decorations. Wit'out anyone seein' 'em." Sighing, the mech shook his head. "U'lot o'mechs c'n complain 'bout th' pranks they pull, but tell 'em t'list 'em, an' 'nless y'u got Red 'r Ratch', they can't. Some o' 'em 're funny - so long as y'u're not on th' receivin' side."

Chimera laughed at Thundercracker. If you gave in that easily I would be ever so disappointed. Don’t worry though, I haven’t given up on you yet.
She stepped beneath the hot, soapy flow and began to clean away the dried energon and thought happy thoughts.
~*~*~*~
Ravage woke in his cell and stood up although found that he was soon sprawled on the floor of the cage before he knew what had happened. Dizziness and disorientation overtook him and all he could do is snarl and shutter his optics to try and stop the world spinning.
The only thing he could think of what that his gyros were seriously fragged. A quick scan also revealed that the majority of his communications array was damaged and non-functioning. The jaguar opened his optics again and looked around to start trying to plan his escape.
~*~*~*~
Redstar shut his optics and nodded Yeah, I know how they are. Main thing is he kept ‘em away so we could do our job. He remained still for a moment and put a hand on Cloudburst’s waist, thinking about what had happened when they had been attacked. Fighting back a shudder, he just thanked Primus that everything had worked out then, just like they always seemed to. I know. It’s just... They did something awful to her. I guess I’m a bit of a prude er somethin’. I just... well... The spark and ever’thin’ associated with it... It’s just so private. I know she’ll be alright. Things c’n be patched up and replaced, but some things can’t, if ya know what I’m sayin’? Aw, heck, I dunno what I’m sayin’.
~*~*~*~
Hound wandered into the common room. Just a quick energon and them I’m off to recharge.
He grabbed a cube, settled on a sofa, took a deep drink of his cube and then tilted his head back and shuttered his optics.

That stopped Cloudburst, she realized that other than his own, her spark was probably the only other he had ever seen. That was infinitely humbling, and she understood why seeing Raven like that would get to Redstar. She gripped his chestplate and pulsed her spark. Easy, hun. It will be ok. Between the medic, her mate and her sparkling, she'll have everything she needs to recover... She will likely just need time.
-------------
"They locked you in a closet?" Twilight blinked, someone could surprise and do something like that to the big mech? That sort of shocked her. "At least usually it's something funny. Did you get them back?"

Skywarp nodded to his brother and watched him leave before leaning back against the seat with a discontented frown as he petted his daughter's head, "Why am I so clumsy? I try to act responsible and it all seems to backfire in my face no matter what I do."
The black seeker could feel Illuminescence snuggle against his abdomin and sighed heavily, "Lumi, I hope you have better luck than I do." Suddenly the shutters on his optics closed over them and his body abruptly when into stasis During the whole time from when he had first found his daughter up until now he had completely forgotten to re-fuel.
Illuminescence could sense something was wrong the moment her father's hand slid limply from her head. Her golden optics flickered on and she stood up in her father's lap, "Dada?" She stood there waiting for her father-creator's fire=red optics to blaze back to life but nothing happen. She tried smacking him on his chest, climbing onto his chest so that her optics were level with her father's and forcing his optical shutters open but still nothing. Not knowing what to do she started to cry all the while still calling to her father in hopes that he would wake up.

Redstar nodded. I know. He moved a bit closer, nestled his head in the crook of her neck and slowly drifted into recharge.
~*~*~*~
Starscream had woke from recharge and made his way to the common room. He did not look around as he entered the room as his eyes were glued to a datapad. All he did know was that he was heading in the direction of the dispenser to get some high-grade.

Illuminescence could look up as soon as she felt his spark signature. I was similar to her father's like the blue seeker's had been but it was slightly different. However it was familiar enough to calm her mewling to a soft whimper. She watched as the red and white colored seeker entered the common room not so much as glancing in their direction. Illuminescence wanted to ask him for help but she didn't know how to say it. So she simply waited for him to notice her and Skywarp on the sofa.

Starscream took a sip of his cube but his optics remained on the datapad. He settled into a seat but found his concentration being broken by a sparkling crying. A scowl settled over his features. Nightstrike! One of your infernal brats is in the common room crying! When the frag did you have another one! For Primus sake... you and Megatron are worse than two petrorabbits! Come shut it up now!
Nightstrike, who was still in the control room, jumped slightly at the comm and both marvelled and grew infuriated at Starscream's level of idiocy.
Not that this is any of your business, but I cannot have anymore sparklings! Besides, you know that I never let mine stray that far from me when I did have them. Now frag off and go have Dissever check your audios because you must be hearing things!
Starscream's nose wrinkled in distaste. How he so did not want to know that Nightstrike had ben... fixed. Slagging femme... Gah... He looked around the room and his optics were quickly drawn to what was making the sound. Great. A sparkling. Who it belonged to Starscream did not know. All he did know was that Skywarp had once again forgotten to refuel. Idiot. He went and grabbed a cube and carefully poured it down his throat and into his tanks.

Illuminescence's had stopped crying immediately as the red and white seeker entered the room. She watched quietly as he filled up the cube and proceeded to pour it down her father's throat.
Skywarp's optical shutters flew open to the face of a very irritated Starscream and then sighed heavily casting him a weary optic, "What did I frag up this time?" He noticed that Illuminescence was staring at his brother curiously but he could still see the drying energon tear streaks on her face.

"You forgot to refuel. Again. Why have you always been so forgetful in that respect?" Starscream looked down at the sparkling. "So if this isn't Nightstrike's who does it belong to?"
