By the next day, Jadefire continued to look the other way whenever Icestriker attempted to make amends. All day he tried, and all day his words fell upon offline audio sensors.

Lennox thumped the mech's leg as he left the entranceway to the base. "Give her more time, 'Striker. She'll come around."

Icestriker looked back at his sister as his teacher approached her. "I only wanted to help. Only wanted her to see what it was like to have someone… special."

"It looks like she has that." He nodded with a grin towards the weapon master as he sat next to the green femme, seeing her smile. "She looks even happier than when you two came with Arcee and the others." He looked up at him. "To be honest, 'Hide's been looking happier too ever since he found out."

Icestriker smiled sadly. "If I help my sister, even at all, I suppose the silent treatment is bearable, for now."

Major Lennox laughed a bit and shook he head. "Looks like I'll need another guardian next time I go home."

"Do you ever miss your family, Will?"

"Of course. Every second I'm conscious." He shrugged. "But, that's what I signed up for. Well, the war part, anyway. You guys didn't come with the job description."

Icestriker chuckled. "No, I suppose not." Their attention was drawn away by a small up-rise in noise outside. "Wonder what's up."

"Can't be anything good."

He transformed into his Corolla mode and popped the river's side open. "Let's check it out."

Lennox nodded and hopped in, followed closely by other humans and 'bots alike.

"So that's a yes then?"

Jadefire laughed and stretched out over the huge couch provided for the Autobots. "Yes, it's a yes. I could do with time out of this bunker."

"We couldn't be able to go very far though."

"We're a couple of strong 'bots, aren't we?"

"Of course."

She nodded. "We'll figure it out when the time comes. I'll see you at nightfall then." As she was about to get up and leave, a noise came from the open bay doors. Among a transformed Icestriker and Jolt stood Major Lennox and a few other soldiers, escorting a blindfolded girl with long black hair. The chains hanging from her pants jingled as she walked, muffling the sound of her combat boots against the floor.

"Jeez, Will, being rough enough?" she said as they held her arms tight.

"Isn't that Icestriker's charge?" Ironhide asked.

Jadefire narrowed her optics. "Yes, but she should be with Sam and Mikaela right—" She cut herself off as another pair of soldiers led in a blindfolded Same. "Wonder why they're here."

Bumblebee came up next to them. "Arguing," came from his radio.

"Ah, probably why his female isn't here."

The bay doors were closed and the blindfolds were removed, letting the human see once more.

"Katrina, why are you here?" Icestriker said once he transformed back.

"Sam and Mikaela are going through a really bad spot, so he wanted to go somewhere far away from Cali."

"Yes but why are you here?"

"Figured I'd hitch a ride to see you."

Jadefire let a smile slip as Bumblebee left to greet his own human charge. "And thus the typical after-action clinging begins."

"After-action? They haven't seen much—Oh, that." His focus snapped back to the humans now associating with the soldiers and 'bots alike. "He actually—?"

"Yeah, but I didn't say anything, all right? He'd kill me if anyone found out about his little xeno experiment."

Ironhide let out a gruff grunt of amusement. "No wonder the kid's trying hard to get back into your good graces, with a secret like that."

"I'm not forgiving him that easily, but I won't let that slip."

"You told me."

"You figured it out. I didn't say anything. Others will figure it out with how she's carrying on," she said, observing Katrina delivering a kick to Icestriker's shin and reprimanded him for something. "It's too obvious of a lover's quarrel." She shook her head. "Anyway, I'm going for a quick recharge before nightfall."

He watched as she walked off, seeing Optimus come from the same hallway she disappeared down.

"Where are our guests for the week?" he asked.

Ironhide jerked a thumb in the direction of the yelling human. "Right over there."

Optimus put a hand to his shoulder. "I've found out who let word slip, and they have been corrected. As with the actual subject, what are you planning with the femme?"

"Nothing that would compromise anything. I understand how things can be complicated when things go too far."

"Yes, I'm sure you do."

Ironhide spoke as Optimus turned to leave. "Prime?"

"Yes, old friend?"

"Elita and Chromia… do you ever think we'll see them again?"

Optimus fell silent, looking out to the other Autobots. "I'm not sure. While I still cling to the hop their ship survived the Decepticon assault, I assume the worst for them." He looked to Ironhide. "It may be best to assume such things, and take what opportunities arise."

"So I should give up hope?"

"No. I mean assume you won't. Hope you are not right. I just mean don't let things pass you by."

"Optimus, I'm too damn old to get mixed up in this."

"You have never let your age stop you from anything before. Why now?"

"It's Jack's daughter."

"So because she's so young you're still having trouble believing she'd want someone like you over all the younger mechs? Females tend to like survivability over youth."

"Doesn't make much sense, but I believe you."

"It'll make sense with time." He nodded out to where the fight had finally stopped. "I should get the humans situated here."

He nodded. "One last question."

"Of course."

"Why me and not you, if she wanted survivability?"

Optimus went silent once again, glancing down the hallway to the Autobot's chambers. "That is something only she knows. And, with time, she'll more than likely tell you." With a last nod, he left the weapons master to greet the humans, leaving him with many more questions buzzing in his head.
