Chapter Text
The trip back to the Ark went on silently, the nervousness and fear of failing had disappeared, but the feelings of confusion were still all too present. Sunstreaker was determined to do his best to make the relationship work even though he was not sure how they would manage, but they both agreed that they can’t let their sparkling suffer due to them. Sideswipe was not looking forth to visit Ratchet in the med bay, but only because his brother landed himself in a relationship with a Seeker did not mean that he immediately trusted that they would not cause them harm so short after the whole incident, though he will surely never again use jet judo. Blaster on the other hand was still trying to figure out if he had done the right thing to allow Eject to continue his relationship with Rumble, but he hoped that with the rules it would be fine and he could really not do anything against how happy his creation had looked at the news while Skyfire was making up plans how to make Starscream come back to him.
Upon their landing they were immediately approached by Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide and Jazz who ushered them into the med bay though it was evident that they all relaxed when seeing only small wounds on one of them while the others were mostly unharmed.
“It seems as if you managed to explain.” Ironhide said while Ratchet looked over Sideswipe’s wounds.
“Yeah, never knew that I would be one cycle terrified by Starscream.” Sides said while flinching, why was it that Thundercracker managed to do this more painlessly then their medic?
“It was not easy, but we will try to get into a relationship…even if I don’t know how.” Sunstreaker said while staring at his servos when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder plate, looking up he come optic to optic with his Prime.
“I have sent a call to Cybertron, Elita will be here in a few orbital cycles and I’m sure that she could help you with some tips.” Optimus said in his most reassuring tone before looking thoughtful. “Now that we have explained the misunderstanding we only need to find a way how to convince Megatron to leave you alone and to make arrangements for at least a temporary truce.”
“I think that this won’t be a problem Prime” Blaster spoke up which made the other mechs who had not been with them turn towards the tape-deck.
“What do you mean?” Ratchet asked while finishing Sideswipe up.
“Due to the lack of Decepticon’s who are able to fight Starscream requested that beside the Canoeheads also two other Trines come to Earth, but it seemed that in the end also a third joined. Not sure who all of them are we were on our way out when they arrived, but there was a lot’s of screaming and banging commin from the mad bay.” Blaster finished his explaining at which Optimus nodded, he was sure that after finding out what an angry Trine could do would not even Megatron risk going against five Trines and his Third in Command.
“That is partly good to hear.” Ratchet said as he could imagine the reactions given by those wounded by the Commanding Trine at the sight of more Seekers.
“Yes, but I think Skywarp is also worried how the other Cons beside the Seekers and Soundwave will react.” Sunstreaker said as he remembered the few impressions he got through their bond.
“We are also not sure how the others swing with the whole situation…” Jazz trailed off, after the call from Megatron and the explaining several of the others either went out again or returned to their quarters and have not left or returned so it was hard to gauge how they thought about the whole thing. Well excluding Red Alert who was locked up in his quarters drawing up one emergency plan after another, Ratchet said that he would give him one more joor before calling Swoop and have him break the door down so that he can sedate the Security Chief…for his own health.
“Great, even more complications…” Sunstreaker groaned, if things should ever turn out right he will make sure that his offspring never acts recklessly regards things to land in such a situation.
“Yeah” Jazz agreed as he looked over at the medical berth where Prowl laid, his logic circuits frizzed as he tried to figure out how to deal with the situation and what would be right. Well at least he was resting now and after he wakes up he will try to help him find a solution.
Jazz himself was partially fine with the situation, Sunstreaker did not know what he was doing and neither him nor Skywarp could get out of this, well they could so the saboteur appreciated that the Seeker after understanding that it was not intentional did not pick the easy way out. He knew that with them having picked the harder path they would need a huge deal of support and he was willing to give that to them no matter against how many of his friends he needs to stand up.
He feared that this will be inventible.
