General Narration

   Dr. Raava was on his computer searching for any of Helena's relatives.

   "Dr. Sampson come over her a moment, please."

   Dr. Sampson who sat at the computer next to Dr. Raava, rolled his chair over to him.

   "Yes Dr. Raava?"

   Dr. Sampson asked as he came over.

   "Look at this."

   Dr. Raaca said as Dr. Sampson turned his attention to the computer screen.

   "What is it?"

   Dr. Sampson asked as Dr. Raava showed him.

   "It's the parents of the girl who was shot."

   Dr. Raava looked over at Dr. Sampson as he read over what it said.

   "Bell Creek Orphanage. She was orphaned at the age of six."

   Dr. Sampson said as Dr. Raava read on.

   "Hmmm. Gene and Nicolette Tena. Deceased!? That poor girl."

   Dr. Raava said as he looked at the family picture of Helena's real parents and herself at the age of six.

   Helena P.O.V

  It was so bright. Everything around me. Then it all began to dim. Where was I? Last thing I remember is.....oh god. Orion! I looked around and saw a girl with black hair and blue eyes.

   "Well, well. Looks like you've finally decided to wake up. How you feeling, darling?"

   She spoke with a gentle and sweet voice.

   "I'm feeling better. Thank you, but who are you?"

   She smiled as I asked.

   "My name is Danielle Dan. I've been looking after you."

   "Thank you."

   That's when I remembered.

   "Orion. He's my friend. Where is he? Have you seen him? Is he ok? Please tell me he's ok."

   She smiled with a chuckle and nodded.

   "Calm yourself, darling. You must mean Pretty Boy. I'm one of his relatives. Don't you worry. He's fine. He's sleeping."

    She said as she looked to my left in the direction of the bed where Orion lay, peacefully sleeping. I smiled.

   "He shouldn't be here. We shouldn't be here."

   I said remembering what happened with Rick.

    "What do you mean, sugar?"

    "It's nothing. Don't mind me."

    I said as I waved her off like I usally do to everyone. I looked over to Orion as he slept. It was morning, and there was nothing to do so I went back to bed.

1 Hour Later

Danielle P.O.V

    Helena fell asleep as I went over to Optimus' bed and looked down at him. He opened his eyes and looked over at Helena's sleeping form.

   "She blames herself. I can already see it."

    I sighed and thought about weather or not I should tell Optimus what I saw. I didn't want to hurt him, but I couldn't keep it from him either. I was so confused What exactly is it that bothers this girl so much?

   "Optimus what exactly happened? You told us you were shot, but that was it. There's more isn't there?"

   I asked him as he looked at me.

    "Yes, but I'll leave the choice to Helena to tell us all if she wishes to."

    "But why, Optimus? She may look happy, but I can tell. She isn't. You know what else I saw? No wait. why don't I show you. Get up and go over to her."

    I had to show him rather then tell him.

Optimus P.O.V

   I did as Danielle said, wondering what it was she wanted to show me. I got up slowly and made my way over to Helena.

   "What do you want to show me?"

    She lifted her arm and turned it over so the bottom side was facing me. I was horrified at the sight. Her arm was full of scars. Danielle turned the other and I saw the exact same thing.

   "Helena. Why didn't you tell me?"

I closed my eyes and looked away. I felt....betrayed, somehow. But I didn't know why.

Danielle P.O.V

    He was hurt. I knew it. I'm sorry Boss Bot.

   "I'm sorry to show you like this. I thought you should know."

   "Thank you. Danielle I'm glad you told me."

    Was all he said before turning around and going back to his bed, carfully laying down. Just then Dr. Raava and another doctor came in.

General Narration

    "Hello Orion. I'm Dr. Sampson. I'm the one who attended to your wounds. How are you feeling?"

   "I'm fine Dr. Sampson. Thank you for all that you've done for me."

   Optimus responded as he sat up with Dr. Raava's help.

   "I'm Dr. Raava. I was the one who attended to your friend."

   "I see. Thank you."

    "Not to worry. It's what we do."

    "Oh boy. You have been the talk of the week young man."

    Dr. Sampson said with a smile as Dr. Raava rolled his eyes checked Helena's vitals

    "Pardon me?"

    Optimus questioned as he looked at him.

    "Everyone has been talking about how you burst in with the girl in your arms asking for help and then collapsing not long after. The other nurses and doctors have been infatuated with you and the girl, always asking about yours and the girl's well being."

    Dr. Sampson finished talking and left Orion speechless. Dr. Raava chuckled as he finished checking over Helena.

   "She hasn't woken up yet?"

   He asked.

    "Yes sir. She woke up earlier."

    Danielle informed him.

    "I see. Well if she wakes up again call for me. I need to get her some pain pills and something to eat."

    He said as I nodded and left the room, but before he did he looked over at Orion who looked out the window with sadness writen all over his face.

    "Don't worry son. She'll be fine. And by the way. If you two are that close she'll tell you her situation eventually."

    Dr. Raava said as Dr. Sampson continued.

    "Give it time. I'm sure she'll come around eventually."

    Both Orion and Helena looked over at them in disbelief. They both smiled and finally left. Not long after Helena began to wake up again.

    "Danielle?"

   Danielle looked over at her and smiled.

   "Hey there sweetie. How you feeling? "

   "I'm good. Well rested actually."

   "That's good. Now there's someone who would like to see you?"

   Danielle said as she looked over at Optimus. She followed her line of sight and gasped as she saw him wide awake and looking out the window.

   "Orion!"

   Optimus looked over in their direction and smiled widely.

   "Helena!"

   He responded happily as he got up and came over to her. He hugged her carefully, but tightly.

   "Thank goodness you're alright. I thought I might lose you."

   Optimus said as he burried his face in Helena's necks.

Optimus P.O.V

    Even though I was upset with what Helena had done, I just couldn't stay mad at her. It was something about her that just always made me smile. Every time I saw her face full of joy, it would always and has always made me smile. No matter what mood I may have been in the second before seeing her.

   "I'm so sorry Orion. I'm so sorry I got you mixed up in all of this. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I didn't want you to--"

   Her voice began to crack. Her breath became short by the minute.

   "Helena. It's alright. I would have rather died then having you get hurt."

   I heard her gasp. She hugged me tightly as she began to cry on my shoulder.

   "Promise me you'll never say bullshit like that again. I would never forgive myself or you if you died because you were trying to keep me from harm. Please don't ever say that again."

   I sighed as she cried. I closed my eyes and rubbed her back.

   "I can't promise you that, because it's true. But. I can promise you this. I promise you, that I'll never stop. I'll make sure that your safe and out of harms way. I promise you that."

    I could feel her hold on me increase. I did the same.

    "Do you mean that."

   "Of course I do. I mean it with all my soul."

   "Thank you Orion. Thank you so much. You don't know how much that means to me. Thank you."

   "You don't have to thank me. I would do it willingly."

Danielle P.O.V

   I smiled as Optimus comforted Helena. I often wondered how he was gonna tell her he was actually a 30 foot tall robot from another planet and how he is the leader of one of the two factions of his planet - the Autobots.
