Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 57

Optimus grinned and shrugged. "If Megatron is still on life support and Arcee had not actually managed to kill him...I suppose I would agree to that. For now, Ratchet is just our biggest threat." He kissed her again before standing and exhaling gently. "If only you were allowed to come with me wearing your pajamas. I don't think it would have been a problem."

"It is if you are Ratchet." Saphira turned and walked towards her bedroom quickly. "I'll have breakfast after your check-up, I'll be changed in a moment. Now you had better go before Ratchet let's everyone know what we were up to this morning."

Optimus chuckled lightly and nodded, understanding that he was needed elsewhere for the moment and left the bedroom to walk to the med bay. Saphira got out of her pajamas quickly and put on a simple black singlet and a skirt before she pulled her hair back into twin ponytails. However, as she looked herself in the mirror, she realized she seemed plain and boring with just black. She needed colour in her life again. She glanced at the items she had purchased to use for her mother's tribute and smiled, hoping that today would go well.

She stepped out of the room and walked down the hallway, only stopping when Bee's door opened suddenly and he startled her. "Oh my..." She placed her hand on her chest and took deep breaths. "Bee, you scared me!" He looked down at her as she caught her breath. "How was your shower?" He didn't respond and she looked up at him and frowned, Bee's optics were narrow and looking at her. "Bee? Are you alright?"

Within Bee's mind, a sinister being looked back at the girl who was worried about the scout. It was amusing to him.

'The little pet is separated from Optimus. He, he, I could crush her now if I wanted to. But...I must return to my body first if I am introduce myself properly to her. I must admit, Optimus has done well. A human such as herself must be a rare find. I don't ever remember seeing green eyes as deep as those, or skin as pale as the moonlight.

Wait...what am I saying?! She's Prime's most precious thing! And yet...why do those eyes intrigue me? Pfft...no matter. When I am free from this prison and back with my body, I will enjoy tearing her apart from Optimus, and spilling her blood in front of Optimus's optics. That will be an enjoyment I have not had in a very long time.'

Bee's optics blink and he shakes his head, rubbing his head in confusion and glancing at Saphira, whirring in surprise when he saw her. She frowned at him. "Are you okay? You seem out of it, Bee. Are you feeling okay after going through with the cortical psychic patch?" He nodded, responding happily and she understood the words 'I am okay' and 'Awesome'. "Okay...well...if you don't, you need to tell Ratchet so he can do a full check on you." Bee nodded, responding that he understood. "Alright...let's head to the med bay."

Saphira had a bad feeling in her gut as she walked away, she heard Bee walking behind her and she felt as though something bad was going to happen. And for some reason, she did not feel safe with Bee behind her. She didn't know why, but that is what she felt and she walked briskly to get to the med bay. Bee didn't seem to question it, and he probably thought she just wanted to get to Optimus quickly. She did, but more so for wanting his protection.

When she arrived in the med bay, Optimus was within the medical cylinder, leaning against the central pillar with clamps around him to prevent him from moving as much. She saw Arcee waiting patiently for the scan to be completed and walked up the stairs to the first level platform. She glanced at Arcee who gave her a sharp look.

Saphira sighed a little and looked at her sadly. "Are you really going to remain upset at us?"

Arcee rolled her optics and frowned at Saphira. "Until you talk to Jack, yes. And maybe even after that since you two seem adamant about staying in this relationship."
