General Narration

   A man with a lab coat and glasses arrived at the hospital with Orion's brothers, Isaiah, Jacob, Bruce, two other boys, and a girl. Dr. Raava spotted them and stopped them.

   "Are you Richard sir?"

   The man in the lab coat looked at him and nodded.

   "Yes where is my nephew? May we see him?"

   He asked frantically as the children looked around.

   "Come this way. I'll take you to him."

   Richard and the kids followed Dr. Raava to the room Orion and Helena were in. They all surrounded Orion as he slept.

   "How did this happen?"

  "Is my brother be alright?"

   Richard asked as Jacob followed up with a second question.

   "He'll be fine. He should be waking up soon."

   "What a relief."

   Isaiah sighed as he sat in the seat next to Orion's bed.

   Doctor you mentioned a girl that had also been injured. Is that her?"

   Richard asked as he pointed to Helena's still, yet breathing form. The doctor nodded as Richard approached her.

   "How is she?"

   He asked not taking his eyes of her.

   "Well the surgery was a success, but as I told the doctor who had attended to your nephew, only time will tell."

   "I see."

   Richard turned to Orion's brothers and the other three children.

   "Do any of you know her?"

   He asked them.

   "I've seen her a few times at school. She always had this sad and lonely expression every time I'd see her."

   Said the blue eyed girl. The other two nodded.

   "Wait minute. I know her."

   Bruce responded.

   "She's Orion's best friend. Her name is Helena. He had introduced us to her three months ago. We've seen her around from time to time hanging out with Orion, but that's it."

   He said as Isaiah and Jacob wore shocked expressions, remembering Helena at last.

   "So you know this girl? Do you know of any way to contact her family by chance?"

   Dr. Raava asked curiously. They three sibling shook their heads.

   "She didn't really talk about any of her relatives. All we know that she was an orphan and she lived with her adoptive father."

   Isaiah responded, not being able to answer anything more.

   "I see. So that's the case. How unfortunate."

   Dr. Raava responded. No one else said anything.

Time skip

   It was almost sunset and Orion was waking up.

Orion P.O.V

   Where was I? The scenery was so familiar. Wait. It is Helena's bedroom. I looked around and saw myself. Not only that. I saw that pathetic excuse of a father and Helena. The scene of before we were injured played over and over. When the sound of the gunshot ran through my ears I could see the light that came from it. It blinded me. I woke up. I looked to see my comrades in their holoforms.

   "Hey! He's waking up."

   I looked over to see Bumblebee's hologram, Bruce. The other's surrounded me as well.

   "Autobots. Where am I?"

   I asked, looking around, making sure there was no one around before speaking.

   I am Optimus Prime, Supreme Leader of The Autobots. A group of autonomous robotic organism, called autobots. Richard was our medic, Ratchet. Isaiah is my Weapons Specialists, Ironhide. Jacob is my first Lieutenant, Jazz. And finally, Bruce is my scout, Bumblebee.

   "Easy Optimus. You're holoform took some damege. You're in a human hospital."

   Ratchet told me as I sighed. Then I remembered.

   "Helena. Where? Where is she?"

   I asked as a girl with blue eyes and black hair, walked up to me, along with two brown-eyed boys.
   It was Danielle, Eric, and Nick.

   "Your girlfriend is in the bed next to yours."

    I looked to my right and sure enough. There was Helena, hooked up to an oxygen machine. I could hear her ragged breathing from where I lay. I turned to the others as they looked down at me.

   "Optimus what happened?"

   Ratchet asked worriedly.

   "Who did this to you? Cons?"

   Jazz asked with a tint of anger in his voice. I shook my head.

   "It was her adoptive father. He shot me in the back and Helena in the chest, barely missing her heart."

   I explained as they wore confused expressions.

   "Why would any kind of man do that? It's just cruelty."

   Danielle said as she looked over at Helena.

   "I do not know, Danielle. But I do know this. I will not let it happen again."

   I said as I too looked over at Helena.

   "You poor, poor child."

   Danielle said as she neared her and rubbed her head gently.

   "Optimus. What do you mean by won't let it happen again?"

   Ratchet asked looking at me.

   "Exactly what it sounds like. I will be her guardian."

    "You can't be serious! Are you crazy!?"

   I looked back at Ratchet with a smile.

   "Maybe a little, and I'm as serious as I can get."

   "But Optimus--"

   "That is the end of it!"

   Ratchet was silenced as I had already made up my mind.

   "Yes sir."

   Was all he said as I looked back at Helena's still form.
