"yeah well you've been falling asleep with that holoform on. Ratchet warned you that would happen." Will said. Ironhide huffed out his nose.

"yes Optimus, thank you so much for reminding me." Ironhide hissed sarcastically. Will shrugged and smiled. Ironhide got up and put Will on his shoulder. they headed out and towards the human rec room. "you go get something to eat." Ironhide said, putting Will down. Will nodded and walked into the human rec room. Ironhide nodded and started walking away.

"Ironhide!" Will shouted. Ironhide, confusedly, turned back and activated his holoform, walking into the rec room. he froze. the entire room was staring at what was once the microwave but was now trying to attack Will. "hey! help me!" Will shouted. immediately, Ironhide snapped out of it and his holoform disappeared. the weapons specialist appeared, grabbing Will in one hand and the creature in his other.

"ouch! hey you little fragger." Ironhide hissed, squishing the thing in his hand. Will cuddled into his hand. "what happened?" he ask, looking at Will.

"I just touched it! I swear! I didn't do anything but touch it!" Will said. Ironhide frowned and pulled him out of the room. he put Will on his shoulder gently.

"Ratchet..."

"Ironhide? what do you want?"

Ironhide looked at the creature in his hand.

"uh, Will brought the microwave in the human rec room to life and it tried to kill him."

it was silent on the com but Ironhide could hear two or three sets of peds rushing their way. he looked over and Ratchet had brought Optimus with him.

"Ironhide. what happened?" Optimus ordered. Ironhide turned and faced them, holding out what was left of the creature.

"Will brought the microwave to life." Ironhide said.

"you crushed it?" Ratchet hissed.

"it bit me and I squished it, like the bug it is." Ironhide hissed. Ratchet took it from him and frowned.

"hmm. I'll take it to Wheeljack and see if he can come up with any answers, but it's reading as a normal microwave." Ratchet informed.

"what happened Will?" Optimus ask.

"all I did was touch it." Will said, looking at the Prime. Optimus frowned slightly and looked at Ratchet.

"maybe it's best not to touch any electronics, at all. Cybertronian tech, yes, but human tech, no. it doesn't seem to react well to you." Ratchet said. Will nodded slightly.

"okay." Will said.

"you should probably stay out of the human rec room for a bit." Optimus said, looking into the room. Will nodded slightly.

"okay." he agreed. the two walked away and Will sighed.

"I'll use my holoform to get you something to eat." Ironhide said. Will nodded slightly as Ironhide put him down. he sighed slightly, watching his guardian walked off to talk with Optimus. his holoform walked back over to Will handing him a bowl of cereal. Will thanked him quietly, eating the cereal. Ironhide watched him quietly. when he was done he let Ironhide take the bowl back and sighed. "Will?" Ironhide ask.

"yeah?" Will ask.

"you alright?" Ironhide ask.

"yeah. I'm fine. I guess." Will said.

"come on. we'll go out on the range." Ironhide said. Will smiled slightly and nodded, following him. he could always count on Ironhide to try and cheer him up. Epps and Jazz were on the range.

"hey you two." Epps waved.

"hey guys." Will smiled. Jazz waved at him, leaned against his alt form.

"hey." he smiled. Ironhide nodded at them.

"never seen this range so empty." Will said.

"most soldiers went home for the weekend." Epps said. "which is where I figured you'd be... whats on your arms?" Epps ask. Will looked down and sighed.

"Allspark markings. Ratchets working on it." Will said. Epps nodded slightly and motioned to the table. Will smiled and grabbed a gun. he barely paid any attention to his guardian rolling up and parking beside Jazz. Will fired happily until his clip was empty, he went for another, but Ironhide handed him one, motioning to the radio on the ground near the ammo table. "thanks." Will said.

"yeah." he muttered. he picked up one of the guns and started firing at the targets. Jazz sat watching them, content to keep an eye on his charge and watching Will. Ironhide would empty his clip at the same time as Will and get them both a new clip. he didn't seem to want Will near the ammo table and Jazz was curious. they shot for a bit before Will seemed to forget and walked over to the table. "Will!" Ironhide hissed. Will looked over at him and froze hearing a sound.

"what the fuck is that?!" Jazz ask.

"my radio!" Epps shouted.

"shit." Will said turned back to face what once was the radio. it immediately jumped at Will. Ironhide growled and transformed, pulling his cannons out and firing at the thing.

"what is that!?" Epps ask.

"uh... remember the Allspark markings on me? well I'm apparently radiating a bunch of Allspark energy and... well... I keep bringing life to electronics and they keep trying to kill me...." Will said watching his guardian blow the thing up. "I'll... give you money for a new radio." Will frowned.

"holy shit." Epps said.

"Ratchet." Ironhide commed.

"what? I'm busy with the microwave." Ratchet hissed.

"microwave?" Epps ask. Will gave him a sheepish look.

"he did it again. radio this time." Ironhide said.

"I said to stay away from stuff like that!" Ratchet hissed.

"it was an accident!" Will shouted.

"he didn't mean to Ratchet. calm down." Ironhide said.

"is this one still alive?" Ratchet ask.

"uh..." Ironhide looked at the giant hole in the ground from his cannon.

"well, next time it happens, bring it to me ALIVE." Ratchet hissed.

"okay." Ironhide grumbled, cutting off the com.

"sorry...." Will said.

"it's alright Will. things like this will be happening until you get used to it." Ironhide assured. Epps side stepped away from Will.

"don't touch my cell phone." Epp said. Will shot him a dirty look, which was copied by Ironhide.

"it was an accident!" Will shouted, but did step further from his friend. Ironhide transformed back down and opened his driver side door.

"come on Will. maybe the range was a bad idea." Ironhide said. Will got in quietly.

"I'm sorry." Will said quietly.

"accidents happen Will. you can't avoid everything." Ironhide said, heading back to the base. Sam and Bumblebee appeared to have just pulled up. Will hopped out and sighed. Sam grinned at him.

"hey! I brought my Xbox this time Will. wanna play?" Sam ask. Will quickly scrambled back.

"stay away from me with that thing!" Will hissed. Sam and Bumblebee both seemed concerned.

"uh..." Sam trailed.

"Will has so much Allspark energy he's bringing random electronics to life." Ironhide said. Bumblebee nodded.

"well, if we could help..." Bumblebee said.

"you can't." Will said.

"he's upset. he brought Epps' radio to life and I blew it up." Ironhide said.

"was it awesome?" Sam grinned. Will settled him with a glare and the teen got quiet. Ironhide scooped him up and put him on his shoulder.

"come on Will." Ironhide said, walking off.

"I'm sorry damn it." Will said.

"I don't care. I like blowing things up." Ironhide shrugged. Will smiled slightly.

"thanks Hide." Will smiled. he froze and looked over. "Ironhide.... Ironhide I think we got too close to the rec room..." Will said, looking over. Ironhide turned his head to look.

"what is that?" Ironhide grumbled.

"I think it was the tv..." Will said. Ironhide grabbed the creature and held it tightly, pulling Will from his shoulder. this time instead of an open com, he commed Ratchet privately, he didn't want to upset Will.

"Ratchet.... Will-"

"is it alive?"

"yes. we're on our way to the medbay."

they headed quickly to the medbay. the medic and his bonded were waiting in the medbay with a box.

"here put it in here quickly." Ratchet said. Will sat silently in his guardian's hand looking guilty and upset. Ironhide quickly threw it into the box.

"what are you going to do with it?" Ironhide ask.

"see if we can change it back." Ratchet said.

"you shouldn't take him wondering around Ironhide. what if one of these things attacks someone?" Wheeljack ask.

"so far they only seem interested in him." Ironhide said. "but I'll keep that in mind, however Will is a living being and I can't keep him locked away in my room forever. that wouldn't be fair." Ironhide said. he turned and headed to his room, quickly. he put Will on his berth and looked at the man. he didn't need to scan Will to tell the man was absolutely upset. he crouched down and looked at him. "Will." Ironhide said.

"just fuck off Hide." Will muttered. Ironhide frowned slightly, activating his holoform. he walked over and sat beside Will.

"Will, it's not your fault. accidents happen." Ironhide murmured.

"whatever." Will mumbled. Ironhide grabbed him and laid back with him. Will shot him a dirty look, but cuddled to the holoform.

"you'll stop with the energy soon, or we'll figure something out so you can go home." Ironhide assured. Will huffed quietly. Ironhide held him gently. "you don't have to worry about it in my room. it blocks that stuff, all our rooms do. our walls are thick enough for that." Ironhide said. Will mumbled and curled up. Ironhide held him gently.

"I can't just wait around this stupid base in your room for who knows how long, it isn't fair and it's just garbage." Will hissed.

"I know Will. it's not fair, but this is what is safest for you." Ironhide said. Will huffed angrily. his guardian sighed. "is there anything I can do to help?" Ironhide ask.

"you can take me home." Will glared. Ironhide sighed slightly.

"Will, I would love to, but the house would be dangerous for you." Ironhide said.

"why because I'd bring everything to life?" Will hissed.

"no, because you're radiating enough energy to bring the Allspark back and the base is built to block that energy. if you leave, the Decepticons will be on you." Ironhide said. Will sighed slightly, he knew that but he felt safer at home, safer in a way of comfort. of course the base and Ironhide were comforting, but he wanted to go home.

"I know." Will sighed.

"we could go back out on the range." Ironhide suggested.

"and let Epps and Jazz stare at me. yeah right." Will huffed.

"we could walk around the base." Ironhide said.

"yeah so I can bring random objects to life." Will huffed. Ironhide paused to think.

"we could find out how to bring out your protoform so you can see it." Ironhide said. Will looked at him.

"well... that sounds interesting." Will said. Ironhide nodded his holoform stepping back.

"well it subconsciously activated when Ratchet tried to poke you with a needle." Ironhide said. Will frowned and tried to force the change, it didn't work.

"I don't really seem to have any control over... woah." Will trailed.

"Will?" Ironhide ask.

"you don't see that?" Will ask, staring off. Ironhide raised an optic ridge.

"see what?" Ironhide ask, worriedly.
