When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Sitting upon a med berth, Azura was connected to a few lines that was monitoring her system. She still felt cold, which was a concern to the two autobots. Optimus warmed up several blankets to wrap around her body, but Ratchet knew the internal structure of her body had likely been compromised from the cold she produced. He k re she had done it to try and save herself, but it has caught some damage. The only thing helping was drinking some low-grade from Optimus, which allowed her to feel warmer. But not completely, and she was going through a process to help warm up her system.

Azura watched as Ratchet was reading over things on a monitor, which were likely things about her system and core temperature. He had a worried expression on his face as read over it thoughtfully. Optimus stood by him reading as well. Azura felt bad about making them worry about her. She wished she didn't use her abilities, but she didn't have much of a choice. It was either use her abilities or potentially get kidnapped, and taken to the decepticons.

Azura looked at the lines that were attached to her. She didn't know what the purpose was for each different line, but it didn't matter to her. She knew that her own system was not properly developed. She has heard Ratchet speak of it, and he apparently knew of some kind of procedure that would help her, and she didn't know what that was yet. But Ratchet has not exactly explained what it is yet.

"Hmm, I think it will take a little while for her system to warm back up properly, even after she has had low-grade," Ratchet said as he read through what was on the monitor. "We are lucky that Makeshift pulled her out when he did, or she would have been in the similar situation as you and Arcee, even if she wasn't in the Arctic."

"I did not realize she was very vulnerable to the cold like this. I knew sparklings were vulnerable, but..." Optimus paused as he stared at the screen. "I guess because her system is not fully complete..."

"That would be the logical explanation." Ratchet turned and walked away for a moment. "However, her system cannot be cold for a long period of time. I will give her something that will hopefully give her system a boost so it can heat itself."

"Is there anything else that we can do?" Optimus asked worryingly as he watched Ratchet.

"I recommend that she recharges within your chassis tonight, Optimus." Both Azura and Optimus look at Ratchet in surprise. "The natural heat from your body will help Azura's system. It will be more effective than her laying under a blanket, as that won't do anything to keep her warm."

"I understand." Optimus looked at Azura with sad optics before he smiled slightly. "I will admit that I am impressed that you were able to do that, Azura." She glanced up at Optimus with a smile before she shrugged and looked away from him. "I know we will have to do more practicing after today."

"It would be ideal, especially now that she as unintentionally revealed that she has abilities to the humans," Ratchet said as he filled a syringe with liquid. "I am also impressed that she can do that." He turned and walked over to Azura. She tensed and whimpered when she saw the syringe. "I promise this won't hurt, Azura. You need this so that your system can recover easier."

Azura was still fearful as she knew needles hurt. She looked away as Ratchet grabbed her right arm gently and she closed her optics as she waited. And whimpered loudly when she felt the needle push in. Even though it was quick, it still hurt. Ratchet injected the medicine into her body and removed the syringe before placing a bandage over the injection site. She took deep intakes and opened her optics, looking at her arm before looking at Ratchet.

He smiled at her. "I know it was not fun, Azura. I assure you that you should feel better soon. But for now, take it easy." Ratchet looked at Optimus. "She will be clinging to you for the rest of the day."
