Child of the Allspark (Transformers Prime)

"Prime! Prime!" Fowler called out on the screen

"Special Agent Fowler? To what do we owe..." Optimus began to speak

"What else? 'Cons! I chased them off with some hard ordnance, but not before they blew me out of the sky,"

"Again?" I teased with a smirk

"They tried a smash-and-grab for the D.N.G.S," that was enough for me to stop smiling.

"The...What's it?" Arcee asked

"Dynamic Nuclear Generation System," I explained "A.K.A, D.N.G.S. It's a prototype energy source..." I remembered I was talking about a classified project that I only found out because I got bored and hacked "which I may or may not know about,"

"You've been hacking again haven't you?" Optimus questioned

"I get bored," I shrugged

"I'm porting it to the coast for testing," Agent Fowler explained

"That's absurd," Ratchet scoffed "Why would Starscream bother with such primitive technology?"

"I'm guessing to make a big primitive weapon of mass destruction. If this baby were to melt down, it would irradiate this state and the four next door,"

"Uh...did Agent Fowler say what state he was currently in?" Raf asked nervously

"I'm a sitting duck here, Prime. I need you to spin up your bridge and spend the D.N.G.S. to its destination before the 'cons come back for it,"

Optimus looked towards me and I shook my head. "I'm afraid that sending such a volatile device through a ground bridge is out of the question. If there were to be an accident during its transmission, the radiation of which you speak could propagate through the ground bridge vortex and harm all 50 states...and beyond,"

"You got any better ideas?"

I smiled as I realized what Optimus was thinking.

"Ah! No need, Agent Fowler. I will handle the driving," Optimus explained over the comms as I was sure Agent Fowler aimed to take control of the driving.

I huffed as I leaned against the banister "How come I couldn't go?"

"Just a safety precaution, Pixel," Ratchet explained

"But Agent Fowler gets to? I wanted to see Lennox," I pouted "Besides I miss Ironhide and Wheelie,"

"We can set up a playdate later,"

"Yes!" I cheered

"It's gonna be a long trip," Agent Fowler muttered

"Autobots, roll out!"

"We are locked on to your coordinates, Optimus," Ratchet said as we watched the screen that showed the location of Optimus, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead. "Barring any complications, you should reach the dropoff point by sundown,"

A horn was heard through the comm link.

"Move it, Gramps!" Agent Fowler exclaimed

"Agent Fowler, is that really necessary?" Optimus asked

"Ah, don't tell me you're one of them, textbook drivers. Hmph. You know, you're saving my bacon here, Prime,"

"I am proud to be of service,"

"Did Agent Fowler just compliment us?" I wondered

'Course, not like I'd need your help if you and the 'cons had stuck to tearing up your own corner of the galaxy," Agent Fowler claimed
