Jadefire slowly came out of recharge the next morning, almost forgetting the night prior. It wasn't a moment more before she froze completely, realizing she wasn't alone.

"You need to learn to relax your grip while in temp stasis, Femme."

Her spark skipped another beat. "I-Ironhide. What are you doing here? In my berth?"

"You wouldn't let go, and I was about to go into a forced recharge myself. So this was the best option I came to."

She looked from his face to his chassis. "I… It's excusable then. Just this once."

They laid in silence for a minute before he shifted. "Don't you have things to do today?"

"You're kind of blocking the way."

He finally took notice to how they were laying. She lay on the inside while he somewhat dangled over the outside ledge. "Right." He got up out of the way, letting her get to her feet. "Ratchet most likely has a long and hard project for you today."

At this she laughed a bit.

"What?"

"Long and—Oh don't make me explain it, 'Hide," she said between giggles.

His internal computer did a quick scan on English slang, making him slap a hand to his face. "I did NOT mean interface modules, or anything of the sort." He spread his fingers, gazing at her smiling face. "Though, it is nice to hear you joking around me. You've been dodgy for weeks."

Her smile fell. "It's… complicated." She looked away. "I think you should be heading out. My brother's probably waiting for his lessons."

He wanted to say more, but clamped his vocal processors shut on the subject. "Yeah, I'll see you around. Sorry again for passing out in your berth."

She merely nodded, indicating dismissal.

Femmes. I'll never understand them. He left her room, only to run smack dab into her brother.

"Ironhide? What the fuck are you doing in my sister's room?" Icestriker yelled. "I said you could date her, not sleep with her!"

"Keep it down, Glitch-head," he hissed.

"You crossed the line!"

Ironhide grasped the smaller mech by his upper arm and dragged him away from the door, ignoring the protests and shouts of anger. Once he was satisfied with the distance, he let go.

"You better have a good fragging explanation, Old Timer, or I will rip you to scrap."

"Kid, calm down. It's not what it looks like, I swear it."

"Oh, so I imagined seeing you leaving her private rooms."

"No, I was in there. All night, too. Kid, I did sleep with her, but I did not interface with her."

Icestriker scoffed. "So you just happened to wander into her berth instead of your own when we returned last night?"

"Not exactly. I went to Ratchet to see if she was still studying with him, and she was, but had ended up working herself to exhaustion. He asked me to take her back to her quarters, stating he was busy and couldn't himself. When I did, she wouldn't let go, and since I was pressed for sleep myself, I just ended up staying there." He saw Icestriker eying him warily. "It's true, Kid. I didn't do anything to her. I think I'm old enough to know how to keep my hormones in check."

Icestriker thought it over, still studying his mentor, as if sizing up his honesty. "…Seems I don't have any other option but to trust you. Just… don't hurt my sister. She's the only family I have now."

"It's not in my intentions."

Icestriker nodded. "All right, let's get to training. I still have a lot of anger to let out."

Jadefire left her quarters later in the day, heading towards the med bay for her next project. Ratchet had said during her last one that this would be big. There wasn't too much left for her to do, individual parts and limb wise, so she had no idea what to expect. As she entered the bay, she called, "Honey, I'm home!"

Ratchet chuckled from his spot in front of the computer. "About time you showed up. Rumor has it Ironhide slept with you last night."

She hunched a bit in embarrassment. "We shared a berth, nothing more. I was out cold, and he's too much of a mech to do something to an unconscious femme."

"Hmm," Ratchet murmured. "Whatever you say, Jade."

"So what is today's project?" she asked to change the subject.

"Glad you asked. Today you'll be creating a spark chamber from scratch."

Jadefire groaned. "Ratch, that is extremely intricate work! Don't tell me these bozos damage their spark chambers enough to need a new one."

"Our 'bozos' haven't, but it's been known to happen." He nodded towards the worktable where a bunch of scrap and spare parts sat, along with a diagram. "Get started. You leave here when it's complete."

She groaned. Why did I have to wake up today?

Hours later, and well into the night, Jadefire put down her wrench and smiled triumphantly, despite how drained she now felt. "Only took six hours, but I got it!' She proudly held up her work for Ratchet to see.

"Very good work," he said, looking at it from afar. "Let's see it up close." He took it from her hands and looked it over. "Feels sturdy. Has everything an original chamber should have." He looked down on her tired self. "You do me proud, Jadefire. You have to be the best apprentice I've had to date." He put the spark chamber down. "You can go to your quarters to recharge, if you need."

"I can go a bit longer yet," she answered. "It wasn't too tedious." She rubbed at her arms. "Ratchet, who's blabbing all over base that I had… company last night?"

"I heard from Jolt, who heard it from the twins. Beyond that, I don't know."

Her spark skipped a beat in anger. "I think I know who."

The door to Icestriker's quarters burst open, and Jadefire angrily strode in.

"Jade! What the hell? Privacy, Sis!"

"Don't you dare 'Sis' me. You found out somehow, didn't you?"

"Find out about what? That you were transported back to your room last night and circumstances arose that just involved sleeping? Yeah, I knew from this morning."

"Well way to go, loose-jaw. The whole base is talking about it!"

"Wait, what?" Icestriker sat up on his berth, putting aside a human metal magazine. "I knew, yeah, but I didn't blabber."

"Oh sure. Like you didn't tell Optimus what wasn't true, and like you haven't told Ironhide the truth."

Icestriker looked away. "That obvious, huh?"

"The fact he's paying more attention to me after I told you, yeah, it's obvious. Do me a favor and stay the frag out of my business." Her optics narrowed and her voice went quiet. "Or do you want the whole base to know you experimented with a human?"

His jaw dropped. "How did you—?"

"Katrina can't keep her mouth shut just as much as you can't. So I repeat myself, 'stay out of my personal life'."

"Jade…" He followed her out. "Jade, I just wanted to help."

"Help with what? The fact you're embarrassed to have a virgin sister?"

"That's the farthest thing from the truth."

"What I do is my choice. And you know what? It's my business who I share a berth with, not yours or anyone else's. Leave me alone."

He watched as she walked away, causing several humans to jump out of the way. "Jade…" A hand landed on his shoulder gently and he looked up to see Ironhide.

"I'll talk to her."

Icestriker shook his head. "Leave it alone. You weren't supposed to find out how she felt anyway. I am just a loose-jaw."

"Honestly, you helped out. I wanted to try a go with her, but wasn't sure she'd go for an old sack of parts like me."

Icestriker rolled his optics. "Sure. And you're not that old, I keep telling you that. Sentinel is old. The planet was old. You're… more in the middle stages of life right now."

"Yeah, keep trying to make me feel better." He snorted gruffly. "She'll forgive you. You're family."

"Doesn't mean for much all the time."

"It will pass."

Icestriker let a sigh pass. "I hope so."
