Cale in Transformers ?

15. End of High School

Carly piped up giggling, "If you don't then just remember there are many boys and girls here who will happily take your place."

Miles chuckled at Sam's confused expression, "You may not have noticed but you my darling childhood friend have a huge fan base in school."

Sam, "Why? I am just a sick kid, you know?"

Carly's eyes softened, "It is true but a lot of other younger kids with physical ailments really look up to you."

Mikaela smiled softly, "Sam, you are basically someone for them to strive to be like. It is not easy for those who have physical ailments so watching you get in the top five is a big thing."

Sam, "Ah! I see. Well, I am glad I am able to encourage them indirectly."

Megatron was watching him with warm eyes, "You have many who care about you even if you do not realize it, that is just like you, little one."

Raon, -That's our human. He is the best.-

Ohn, -Yeah, but I don't want to share.-

Hong, -Me neither. When will you return home?-

Megatron, -Soon, the others are leaving.-

Megatron and Sam waited for a bit to wave goodbye to others and then entered Cliffjumper though the holoform disappeared. Megatron flew to the meeting point where he let the three sparklings out only for Sam to be surrounded by them. Sam gave a happy laugh as he was nuzzled and hugged by the three little ones who seemed to be growing bigger. The last two years, Decepticon and Autobots especially those loyal to Megatron and Optimus had been coming and going through Earth. They were currently working on building a base on the Moon which could be used by both the Cybertronians and humans. Many countries were even working together to build the base with Simmons as the head of humans.

Simmons was no doubt the most excited about the Moon base as he basically took over the physical training for the humans. The second one to be the most excited were the college going younglings who went through the whole thing without any complaints. It was very adorable as Optimus would put it to see such young excited sparks over learning new things. Megatron did not tell Optimus but the High Lord had no doubt almost everyone knew, his soldiers had connected with the humans. Between pretending to be polite with someone who was an enemy a few cycles ago and getting to know a younger species, his men chose the latter.

Soundwave had even gone as far as to adopt a few of the orphaned human sparklings, Jackeline and her brother Daniel. Now that Megatron thought about it, Soundwave was the one who started the whole trend to get to know the young humans better. They were not sparklings but watching the young minds learn under their guidance and grow was satisfying and healed something inside them. The High Lord always felt like he had let his men down after their sparklings were killed so cruelly. He blamed himself for a long time for the loss and the many suicides that had occurred among his men.

Sam touched his servo, "Is everything alright?"

Megatron, "Yes, it is just sometimes the memories of war can be cruel."

Sam, "I see."

Megatron, "I want to ask you about something."

Sam, "What is it?"

Megatron, "Raon, Ohn and Hong once told me they had memories of a previous life and you were their Sire in that life."

Sam, "You are curious."

Megatron, "I understand if you are uncomfortable talking about it."

Sam shook his head, "No, I expected it to come up at some point. I was not sure if I should talk about it or not."
