Misty-Blue Meets Dreadwing

Misty-blue's POV

I was hiding in the shadows as I watch Optimus and Sire talk. "You sure this is wise Optimus?" Ratchet asks him. "Could be a trap" he states.

"Dreadwing says he's alone and wishes to talk. He is a man of his word" Optimus tells him. "But  Misty-blue can't know, she will worry" he states. Ratchet nods and opens a ground bridge. "If I don't comm in an hour. Send back up" he tells Ratchet. Who nods his head.

As he goes through and with Ratchet's back turn. Being the curious sparkling I am. I followed Optimus and we appear in a canyon. I hide behind a boulder out of sight. We soon hear jet engines and look up. Dreadwing lands in front of Optimus and I tense.

"You came alone" he states.

"I said I would" Optimus tells him. "Why here?" he asks. Dreadwing heads over to a pile of rocks.

"This was my brother's grave, before he was made a terrorcon" Dreadwing states. Looking sad. "He died because of me" he states.

"You blame yourself, why?" Optimus asks.

"I sent him here to await the arrival of a pod" Dreadwing tells him. "Had I not, he might be alive today" he states. "The others know I come here to visit his grave once a month. So we have an hour until I am missed" he explains.

"Why did you call this meeting?" Optimus asks.

"How's Misty-blue?" Dreadwing asks and I stiffen.

"How do you know about her?" Optimus asks.

"A sire will always knowing their sparkling" Dreadwing states. I silent gasp.

"She's yours?" Optimus asks.

"Yes, before the war. When either side had no grudges against each other. I was close to an autobot. Chromia and we had a sparkling. We wanted to keep her safe, so Chromia went to send her away from Cybertron when the war began. I told her to wait for me, but she didn't" Dreadwing explains.

"She was then caught by other decepticons. I thought our sparkling dead until I saw footage of her on the Nemesis with Bulkhead" he states. "I though I had lost them all. Skyquake, Chromia and Misty-blue" he explains.

"Are you here to ask for her back?" Optimus asks.

"The Nemesis is no place for a sparkling, even one part decepticon" Dreadwing states.

"Then perhaps you wish to meet her?" Optimus asks.

"I'd love too, but it's not safe" Dreadwing states. "Besides I doubt her guardian or the other autobots would approve of her meeting me" he adds.

"It's not their decision" I state. They both look at me. I fly into my bio-mechanical sire's arms. "You'll never me alone" I tell him.

"Misty-blue" he says holding me close stroking my back.

"I'll give you both some privacy" Optimus states and walks off.

"Did carrier have spark sister too?" I ask Dreadwing.

"No, but she had two close friends she considered sisters" he tells me. "They grew up together, she was always looking out for them" he states. "Their names were Arcee and Elita-one" he adds.

"So Arcee, is like my aunt?" I ask.

"Guess you could call her that" he says with a chuckle as he sits down with me on his lap. "So who's been taking care of you?" he asks me.

"Ratchet has been my guardian, I call him sire" I say avoiding his optics. He raises my head looking into my blue optics with his red ones.

"It's ok, you've know him longer then you've know me and he has been raising you the past month" he states. "I understand" he assures me.

"I still feel guilty, you're my true sire and I've been calling someone else that" I state.

"When this war is over, we can be  family again" he tells me.

"Why don't you come with us?" I ask him.

"I am a man of my word my sweet spark and I vowed to serve Megatron until the war's end. I cannot leave the Decepticons" he tells me.

"I'll miss you" I tell him.

"And I will miss you, just keep me close in your dreams" he tells me.

"I will" I assure him. "I hope the war ends soon" I add.

"Me too sweet spark" he tells me. Hugging me to his chassis. I snuggle in listening to his spark beat. It's very soothing.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's time to go" Optimus states.

"Please, just a little longer?" I plead as Dreadwing sits up.

"No, he is right sweet spark. I must go" he states.

"We can organize another meeting" Optimus tells him as Dreadwing stood up. Handing me to Optimus.

"I come here same time once a month" Dreadwing tells him.

"A month?" I ask sadly. Wishing we could meet sooner. There's so much I want to ask him. About himself, his brother and carrier.

"We will meet again sweet spark" he assures me. "Take good care of my sparkling and thank Ratchet for me" he tells Optimus. Before transforming and left. As my optics begin to lubricate.

"Ratchet, a bridge" Optimus says and one appears. He goes through it and hands me to Ratchet. I cry into his chassis.

"What happened?" Ratchet asks Optimus.

"I'll tell you later old friend. Right now Misty-blue needs comfort and I must speak to Arcee" Optimus states.

"Arcee, want Arcee" I mumble.

"I'll send her here once we're done" Optimus tells me before leaving.

"You know being grounded means you stay on the base" Ratchet states as he gives me an energon cube.

"I know, but I wanted to see what you and Optimus were hiding" I state.

"Well I won't ask you what happened, but no more wondering off" he tells me.

"I'm happy you took me in and are raising me. I know you're not my true sire, but you have been raising me since I arrived. And I am grateful" I tell him.

"I am happy to be able to raise you" he states.

"You'll always be Sire Ratchet" I tell him and he gives me a small smile. Arcee appears.

"Optimus wants you" she tells Ratchet and he left. She then comes over to me and looks into my eyes. "You have her eyes" she says with a sad smile.

"Aunt Arcee" I say and hug her. She hugs me back. "Can you tell me about carrier?" I asks and she smiles.

"Oh I've got plenty of stories about her and your aunt Elita-one" she tells me. "Lets go up top" she suggests. We do so and sit down watching the sunset. As she tells me stories.
