Ophelia and Smokescreen just returned from their rounds of patrol and Ophelia wasn't happy. On her round she saw a very familiar sport car speeding past her. Uh oh. 

"We've been over this time and time again, You cannot be speeding like that." Ophelia said seriously.

"It's not a big deal." Smokescreen scoffed, he was salty because he got caught in such a ridiculously embarassing way.

"Not a big deal? It's a safety hazard for you and humans. We can't risk getting ourselves into accidents." Ophelia said.

"I wasn't even going that fast." Smokescreen said.

"The limit is 55 you were going 80. You were way past the speed limit, you should." Ophelia said seriously.

"What would you know? You didn't raise me!" Smokescreen said bitterly.

"Oh scrap..." Arcee silently gasped.

"The tension is too much." Wheeljack shuddered.

"Smokescreen I know that I wasn't there and neither was Optimus, there's we could have done to change that. But you need to understand that there are consequences for every single reckless action. It's just how life works." She said, giving the motherly, scary, stare.

"Do your worst granny!" Smokescreen snapped.

"Oh frag..." Bulkhead gasped.

"He has guts..." Elita said.

"RIP." Chromia said.

"The audacity!" Moonracer scoffed.

"Smokescreen today is not your lucky day, I'm a tolerent, patient femme, but unfortunately I have no damns to give." Ophelia finally snapped.

"Optimus..." Ratchet said nervously.

"Frag no." Optimus swore.

Everyone but Ophelia gasped. Optimus swore and he did it in front of the kids.

"Optimus..." She sighed, not liking the swearing in front of the kids.

"I'm sorry sweetspark." Optimus said.

"Smokescreen, the speeding needs to stop. It's not safe, that's all I'm saying. I know I may sound harsh sometimes but it's only for everyone's safety, it's how my carrier raised me, everyone's safety matters." Ophelia said, more gentle this time.

"Well at least my carrier isn't offline." Smokescreen muttered.

The flashbacks of the day her carrier died flashed in her processer.

Yikes

"Ok! No. Smokescreen go somewhere else, that was awful." Arcee said angrily.

"I'm gonna go for drive. I'll be back shortly." Ophelia said, transforming and driving away without another word.

That was a shot straight to the spark. Ophelia's rough past still resonates with her and it's emotionally agonizing. Smokescreen really hurt her badly with that comment.
