Author’s Note: Okay you pervs, back to reality! BTW, I just totally forgot about the lube until after I posted. ^^; I wrote that entire chapter in PUBLIC! I had the font shrunk so small that it's amazing it came out as well as it did.
Chapter Eighty-Two: They’re Multiplying
Sam sighed as he rolled over and peeked out from under his pillow as the sun began creeping into the hanger the next morning. He yawned as he looked around his loft blearily. Miles was snoozing away in his own pile of blankets on the floor having stayed up until the early hours of the morning, demanding to know every single detail of what had happened during the trip. Sam sighed as he sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eye. It was strange that he was this awake at what his clock told him was extremely early in the morning.
Sam and Mikaela had spent most of the day before answering everyone’s questions. Judy had been quite adamant to know all the details of this new Decepticon while Ron and Steve had badgered both Will and Epps about the battle that had taken place during their escape. Everyone had become alarmed when Sam had explained what had happened to Bumblebee and Judy had insisted on visiting the mech until Sam had told her he was being checked over by Ratchet.
Maggie and Glen had gone on about what they had learned hacking into the old computers and promised that they would try and find out if there was any information on the weapon that Thirteen had used on ‘Bee. Simmons, who Sam was surprised to see was still at the base, said that he had never heard of such a thing being built but considering that it was part of the research and development department, admitted that he wouldn’t have known if they had been working on such an item.
Carol had been the only one rather indifferent about the whole thing but she did surprise Sam and the others when she announced rather cheerfully that she had been the one to find the secret entrance to the underground compound. Miles had just shrugged rather embarrassed when Sam had turned to him. All in all, it had been a rather good “Welcome Home” dinner. The only thing that Sam had found odd was Will’s rather silent presence.
Epps had done much of the talking when the other men had bombarded them with questions but Will had simply poked at his food, claiming tiredness when Judy had questioned him. Sam could tell his mother didn’t believe the man but had not questioned it. Clearly it was Will’s business, though Sam worried it had to do with what had happened in Utah. When he had asked Will why Ironhide had jerked to a halt earlier that day, Will had been unusually tight lipped.
‘Well whatever,’ Sam thought as he rolled back over. With a soft hum, Sam finally slipped out from under his covers and snagged his robe from the bedpost as he glanced over his balcony at the two cars below him. Barricade had been uncommonly quiet when he had returned to the hanger after seeing Soundwave settled but Sam had assumed that it had to do with the appearance of his old teammate. He hadn’t even said anything about Ratchet’s announcement that Bumblebee would make a complete recovery. Not that Sam had expected him to but Barricade was strange like that.
Making a quick trip to the washroom, Sam emerged and was surprised to see that Barricade was up and awake. “Good morning,” Sam called up with a small wave. “Going to check on your friend?”
Barricade glanced down surprised. “Well… what are you doing up so early in the morning?” Barricade asked.
Sam shrugged. “No idea,” he said as he made his way back up the stairs. “Do you want company?”
Barricade tilted his head. “Do you think that is wise?” he asked. “All things considering.”
Sam shrugged as he changed into his jeans. “Well, if I’m with you, he won’t do anything, right? And beside,” Sam paused as he pulled his shirt over his head. “I wanted to see how Frenzy is.”
Barricade just stared at him. “You are a strange human,” he finally muttered but held out a hand for Sam to step onto.
Sam just shrugged as he opened the small gate and stepped down. “Well, he’s your friend, isn’t he?”
“Speaking of friends, what of Miles?”
Sam glanced back at the still snoozing Miles. “I think he’s more exhausted than we are,” he chuckled. “He wouldn’t stop with the questions. He was really disappointed he didn’t get to go.”
“Mmm,” Barricade snickered. “Perhaps he can join us next time.”
Sam raised an eyebrow. “What are the odds of something like that happening again?”
Barricade shrugged. “You never know.”
“True,” Sam smiled.
“And where are you two off to so early in the morning?” A voice asked behind them.
“‘Bee! You’re awake!” Sam cried out happily.
“Oh hurrah,” Barricade drawled.
“Good morning to you too,” Bumblebee chuckled. “So, you never answered my question, where are you going?”
“I thought it best to check in on Soundwave and his team,” Barricade told him with a small shrug of one shoulder. “And make sure his team wasn’t causing any trouble.”
‘Bee stared at the ‘Con. “Like to cause mischief do they?”
“No more than the Lambo’s,” Barricade said nonchalantly.
Both Bumblebee and Sam turned to stare at Barricade in shock. “I’ll go warn Optimus. I don’t think he knows the full extent of the trouble he’s in,” Bumblebee muttered.
Barricade chuckled as they made their way out. “They aren’t that bad.”
“Uh huh. I’ll believe it when I see it,” ‘Bee muttered.
“Really, they aren’t,” Barricade insisted.
Sam shook his head as he waved at Red and Inferno who were doing the morning security check. “Morning!”
“Good morning!” Red waved as they wandered over.
“Welcome back,” Inferno chirped, his arm thrown around his husband’s shoulders. “Glad to see you made it back in one piece.”
“Yeah, we survived,” Bumblebee answered glancing at Red who was still grinning madly.
“Well, hopefully thing’s will get back to normal around here,” Inferno chuckled.
Sam and the other two found it vastly amusing as Red desperately tried not to burst out laughing. “Yeah, that’s how we all feel,” Barricade chuckled.
Inferno gave the ‘Con a confused look but Red snagged the larger rig. “Well, we’ll see you later.”
Sam waved as the two wandered away and Bumblebee slid a look at Barricade. “They still don’t know Soundwave is here, do they?”
“Nope,” Barricade grinned. “This is fun.” Sam just rolled his eyes as they finally arrived at Ratchet’s old hanger. “Knock, knock,” Barricade snickered as he banged on the door. “Hello?”
Soundwave looked up from where he was sitting at the corner as the door opened. “Ah, Barricade.” Soundwave then caught sight of Bumblebee entering behind the ‘Con and he quickly looked down at the human seated in Barricade’s hand. “And guests.”
“Soundwave,” Barricade nodded at him. “We came to see how you were doing.”
Soundwave stared at the group. “Considering that I spent the night in a human air hanger as opposed to a cage, I would say that I was doing quite well.”
Barricade just smirked. “And your team?” he asked. “I didn’t get a chance to speak with Frenzy.”
Soundwave’s expression looked as blank as ever to Sam and ‘Bee but Barricade could instantly see the worry suddenly appear in the other’s red optics. “Frenzy has been… rather quiet as of late.”
Barricade frowned at this but the appearance of the very mech they were speaking about soon halted anything further conversation. “‘C-C-Cade!” Frenzy chirped as he appeared with Rumble right behind him. “Hello, hello!”
Bumblebee stared as Barricade broke into a wide smile. “Frenzy,” he greeted.
Frenzy smirked up at him when he spotted Sam in Barricade’s hand. “Ladiesman217,” he said with a small frown. “Is something w-w-wrong with his wal-l-lking components?”
Sam blinked in surprise but Barricade had already handed him off to Bumblebee. “He’s human Frenzy.”
Frenzy twitched. “True.”
Sam frowned even as ‘Bee snickered. “Hey!”
“Well it’s true,” Barricade told him. “Would you rather walk?”
Sam rolled his eyes and Barricade and Frenzy shared another chuckle. “Humans…” Frenzy muttered under his breath, Rumble shot him a suspicious look.
“Oh leave me alone,” Sam muttered, crossing his arms in a huff.
Barricade shook his head as he turned back to Frenzy. He soon lost his laughter however when he caught sight of Rumble’s expression as the other mech was glaring at Sam. ‘Well, can’t win ‘em all I suppose,’ Barricade thought with a frown. “By the way,” he said instead as he turned to Soundwave again. “Where are the rest of your team? Not hanging in the rafters I hope.”
Soundwave shook his head as he stood and wandered over. “They decided to explore their new surroundings.”
“What?” Bumblebee lost all laughter as he turned to stare at Soundwave sharply. “And you let them?”
Soundwave stared at the young ‘Bot. “Is there a problem with that?”
Bumblebee just groaned. “You better hope that Jazz managed to keep Prowl busy.”
Soundwave glanced over at Barricade who sighed. “We’d better round them up.” The other ‘Con nodded as they moved towards the door. “Come on. We can give you the grand tour on the way.”
“I doubt that there is much we have not already seen,” Soundwave said.
“Well we’ll show you around anyway,” Barricade chuckled.
Bumblebee shook his head as he turned and led the way. “This ought to be entertaining.”
“What does that mean?” Rumble demanded as he looked up at the Autobot.
Bumblebee looked down at the smaller mech. “I don’t think the others know about your arrival,” he explained.
“What?” Rumble stared at the Autobot in surprise as Soundwave gave the ‘Bot a sideways glance.
“I’m surprised that Optimus Prime hasn’t told his team about our arrival,” Soundwave muttered.
“You’ll find that they’re not really big on communication around here,” Barricade snickered and Bumblebee shot him a glare.
Soundwave glanced at the Autobot again. “I see.”
“Though they do have rather tight security.” Everyone turned to find Ravage slinking out from the shadows of one of the main buildings. Bumblebee stared at the small dark ‘Con in surprise. He hadn’t even realized that the small cat was even there. The cat sat back on his haunches as he looked up at the taller mechs, a rather confused look on his feline features. “Though I am still confused as to the purpose the crocodile serves.”
“Oh… he was a bit of an accident,” Bumblebee told him.
Ravage just eyed the yellow mech as Rumble turned to glare at him. “How is having a crocodile around an accident?”
Bumblebee sighed. “Long story.” He looked up to find all of the Decepticons staring at him. “What? It is.”
Soundwave glanced over at Barricade who sighed. “Trust me,” Barricade reassured his friend. “It’s actually not that bad around here.”
“What the slag?” Everyone glanced up to see that Inferno and Red had emerged from one of the hangers and Inferno was staring at Soundwave in stunned disbelief.
Red Alert just snickered as he looked at his husband’s pole axed look before he gave a nod in greeting to Soundwave and his team. “Hello again.”
Soundwave just nodded hello as Inferno turned to stare at Red in disbelief. “You knew he was here?” he demanded.
“Of course I did,” Red huffed as he shifted the boxes he carried. “I am the security chief, after all.” Inferno just continued to stare at Red as there was another shout from the far side of the compound and the fury was quite clear in the one word that was bellowed.
“BARRICADE!”
Everyone whirled around surprised as they saw Prowl striding towards them, Jazz hurrying behind him. A quick glance and Bumblebee could see that Ratchet and Wheeljack were also heading towards their position from the other side of the compound, Ratchet looked to be speaking to someone on his comm. and ‘Bee could only assume it was Optimus. That at least was comforting. If there was anyone who could calm Prowl down aside from his small husband it was his commander. ‘Bee just hoped that Optimus got there soon.
“What the slag is he doing here?” Prowl was shouting as he stormed over, pointing a finger at Soundwave accusingly.
Soundwave had straightened defensively as he glanced back at Barricade who sighed as he watched the Autobot’s storming towards them. “Not that bad, huh?” he repeated archly.
Barricade just sighed. “But I’ve been wrong before.”
Prowl had started the day on a rather happy note. After a rather… amorous reunion the night before, Prowl was feeling surprisingly well rested. With a sigh, he rolled over onto his back and stretched as he came out of recharge. There was a soft mutter next to him and he glanced over to see Jazz who was curled up at his side. Prowl couldn’t help but smile as he propped himself up on his elbow and looked down at the other mech on the small makeshift pallet they had. He had been flabbergasted when he had entered his hanger the night before to find the small silver mech snoozing away in the corner. Jazz hadn’t even so much as twitched at his entrance and Prowl had just smiled as he curled up next to his husband.
‘Beds,’ Prowl thought determinedly as he looked down at the other mech. ‘Have to speak to Wheeljack and Optimus about building beds.’
It was clear that if Jazz was back than the others had to be back as well. Prowl had wanted to get a report filed as soon as possible but since he hadn’t seen anyone on the walk from the main hanger to his own quarters, Prowl had determined that they all must have been in their own quarters. If they were all as tired as Jazz apparently was, Prowl knew the best thing was to get the details the next day, which was today as he glanced out the open door at the bright sunlight.
The base was still quite and he guessed that everyone was still asleep, which was understandable. He’d have to wait until Optimus finally pulled himself out of recharge to get the paperwork filed. Prowl sighed. He hated unfinished work but it couldn’t be helped in such situations. Flipping back over he laid back down, staring at the ceiling. He should be getting up but at the moment, Prowl was feeling rather lazy for a change as he could feel Jazz curl back up against his side once again.
Prowl dimmed his optics as he lay there peacefully when he felt a hand on his face. “You seem to be deep in though.”
Prowl looked over to find blue and gold optics staring up at him. “Not really,” he replied as he leaned over to give Jazz a quick kiss. “Welcome home.”
“Hmmm,” Jazz purred. “Glad to be home but is that all the welcome I’m going to get?” Prowl just chuckled as he leaned over and quickly pounced on his mate, Jazz’s clear laughter ringing out in the hanger. It was a good while later before either one of them could even speak coherently again.
Jazz was grinning madly as he slipped his visor back down. “Now that was a welcome,” he chuckled.
Prowl shook his head though he was smiling as well. “I should probably see if Optimus is awake,” he said as he turned to the door. “I need to get that report filed.”
Jazz shook his head. “Work, work, work,” he sighed. “We have got to get you a new priority circuit babe.”
“Oh?” Prowl smirked as Jazz wandered over and wrapped his arms around him. “And what should my priorities be? Partying?”
Jazz lightly whapped Prowl upside the head. “Me stupid.”
“Oh yeah,” Prowl snickered. “How could I forget.”
Jazz just grinned and reached up to place a light kiss on Prowl’s cheek. “Casanova,” he chuckled.
Prowl looked down puzzled. “What is a ‘Casanova’?”
Jazz just shook his head and gave Prowl another hug. “Honey, we really need to get you that Earth Culture book.” Prowl just shrugged as he turned and started heading out the door with Jazz right behind him yawing largely. Jazz frowned as he suddenly bumped into Prowl’s back as the other mech froze in the doorway. “Prowlie?” Jazz looked up at the other mech surprised. “Why’d ya stop man?” Prowl let out a strange growl and Jazz looked up at him puzzled.
“Stay here,” Prowl suddenly snarled.
“What? What’s wrong with-? Hey! PROWL!” Jazz called out as Prowl suddenly stormed out of the hanger. “What the slag was that all about? … Oh primus,” Jazz swore as he finally saw what it was that had caught his husband’s attention. It seemed as if Barricade and ‘Bee were giving the other ‘Cons a guided tour and since Soundwave was known as a high-ranking Decepticon… yeah. This SO was not a good thing.
“BARRICADE!” Prowl bellowed and Jazz rushed to catch up to him, shooting ‘Bee and ‘Cade an apologetic look. This was not going to go well.
Wheeljack sighed as he watched Ratchet going through his different medical files. “You’ve been gone three days and you’re going to spend your first day back working?” Wheeljack sighed.
Ratchet glanced over at him before he went back to his file. “Have to,” Ratchet muttered. “I’m worried about Bumblebee.”
Wheeljack sat up as he looked at Ratchet seriously. “What happened?”
Ratchet heaved a sad sigh. “We encountered a bit of a problem,” he said softly. “A new weapon the human’s created that instantly can put us into Stasis Lock.” He waited with bated breath and he wasn’t disappointed.
“WHAT?” Wheeljack shouted as he jumped to his feet. “And they managed to hit Bumblebee with it?” Ratchet just nodded mutely. “Primus,” Wheeljack fell back down.
“I know,” Ratchet muttered.
“I mean how the slag did Bumblebee end up in the line of fire anyway?” he demanded. “How did the humans get a clear shot at him?”
“I’m not sure,” Ratchet sighed. “We weren’t there.”
Another beat of silence. “WHAT?”
“Everyone split up,” Ratchet explained. “‘Bee went one way and we had gone another. Slag it, Wheeljack! He was in stasis for almost an hour! An hour! Do you know what kind of damage that could have happened in that time?”
Wheeljack shook his head as he stood and wrapped his husband in a hug. “But he’s alright now, isn’t he?” he said soothingly. “I mean, you fixed him, didn’t you.”
Wheeljack looked down surprised as Ratchet shook his head. “No. I didn’t,” the medic admitted.
“What?” Wheeljack jerked back to stare at Ratchet in the optics. “What do you mean you weren’t the one who fixed him?”
Ratchet sighed as he looked up at the engineer. “Believe it or not but it was actually Frenzy who saved him.”
Wheeljack just gaped at him. “The ‘Con you guys had gone to save was the one who ended up saving Bumblebee?” He pondered over that for a moment. “Slag… that’s just wrong.”
Ratchet shook his head as he turned back to his data pads. “He saved ‘Bee, Jack. How is that wrong?”
“I’m just saying…” Wheeljack sighed. “It’s a lot to take in.”
“Mmm,” Ratchet agreed. “More than you think. Both Barricade and Soundwave told me that Frenzy has never before shown any medical knowledge. That he was able to save ‘Bee surprised them as much as it did us.”
“I always thought that no Decepticon would ever bother to even try and help an Autobot,” Wheeljack muttered. Ratchet just sighed as he went back to going over Bumblebee’s charts. “Wait…” Ratchet looked up surprised as Wheeljack suddenly whirled around and stared at him. “What do you mean that Soundwave told you?”
Ratchet looked up in surprise. “Oh… I suppose I didn’t tell you did I? Sector Thirteen had him captured along with Frenzy. We got him out,” Ratchet said with a shrug as he went back to the files in his lap
Wheeljack was quickly next to Ratchet and snagged his arm. “You have a ‘Con prisoner? And you didn’t tell me?”
Ratchet stared at Wheeljack stunned. “Who said anything about him being a prisoner?”
Wheeljack gaped. “He’s NOT?”
Ratchet shook his head. “No, he’s not. Soundwave,” and he emphasized the name, “is going to give us details about his time as Sector Thirteen’s prisoner.”
Wheeljack didn’t seem to be able to get out a coherent word as he stared at Ratchet in amazement. “What the hell is wrong with you guys?” he demanded. “Every time you go out you come back with another ‘Con!”
“What?” Ratchet stared at his husband. “What the hell does that mean?”
“It mean’s I’m slagging worried about you!” Wheeljack replied angrily.
“What? Why?” Ratchet asked finally setting the data pad aside and turning his full attention on his ranting mate. “It was Optimus’ decision and I have to agree with him.”
Wheeljack whirled around. “He was Megatron’s fucking right hand mech!” He bellowed. “Does Prowl even know about him?”
Ratchet sighed. “Considering we all went right to recharge almost as soon as we got back, I doubt it. I doubt that Jazz would have told him too.”
Wheeljack shook his head. “Slag it,” he muttered as he turned to towards the door. “He’s got to be told-”
“BARRICADE!”
Ratchet and Wheeljack looked out of the open door where they could see not only Barricade and Soundwave, but also Prowl headed towards them at a rather fast pace. “Oh slag,” Ratchet snarled as Wheeljack was already out the door and headed towards them.
“This could be a problem,” Ratchet frowned as he quickly got on the radio and connected with Optimus.
“-This had better be good,-” Optimus’ tired voice came over the line.
“Prowl’s seen Soundwave and is on the warpath,” Ratchet explained quickly.
“-Crap.-”
“Exactly, move your aft. I’ll try to stall.”
“-Be right there.-”
Optimus stepped out of his hanger and could already hear the yelling from the other side of the compound. Cursing under his breath, he quickly turned towards the area where the shouting was taking place. From what he could hear, it was mostly Prowl, Wheeljack and Inferno doing most of the yelling. ‘Why can’t those three just get along?’ he thought to himself.
Arriving on the scene Optimus sighed as he found that everyone else had also shown up to see what all the yelling was about. The Lambo’s were gawking at Soundwave and his team while Hound was explaining to Perceptor what had transpired on their trip. Bluestreak was with Blaster and both were watching the whole thing with wide, shocked optics. A quick glance showed that Soundwave himself was standing at full attention, just scowling at Prowl and the others while Barricade and Bumblebee flanked him.
“This is so not going to go well,” Optimus muttered as he rushed towards the group, hoping that he would be able to prevent any possible damage before it occurred.
