Will growled lowly, in car form, Lunar secured safely inside.

"fuck off! don't touch my sparkling! I swear Autobot or not you will all die if anyone touches my baby!" Will hissed. Will revved his engine angrily. he learned how to channel the Alspark and currently had a force field of energy around him and the sparkling. Lunar whimpered, curling up.

"creator." Lunar whimpered. creator and carrier were things that Ironhide had pushed greatly, it was something from Cybertron, and Will had agreed. they sounded a lot better than mom and dad anyway.

"it's okay Lunar. your creator will be here soon. its okay." Will soothed gently. due to the damage from sector 7, Will couldn't contact Ironhide. he hoped Bumblebee and Sam would tell Ironhide and they'd find them quickly. the force field was energy draining. he locked his doors, he had to give up the force field for a moment. the S7 men got closer and Will sank down on his tires weakly.

"let us have the robot." one hissed.

"he is my sparkling! you are not getting him!" Will growled. Lunar relaxed slightly as Will put the force field back up, they had already learned it would shock them. Will couldn't out run them, he was leaking energon and other fluids and he just didn't have the energy. the only way they were touching his sparkling, was if he was offlined. the force field was flickering in and out, he was trying to back away some, but there was a wall behind him.

"creator!" Lunar cried.

"I told you Lunar he's- Ironhide!" Will cried, excitedly. his bondmate transformed quickly, their friends following behind. with the S7 agents distracted, Will transformed. he clutched Lunar tightly to his chest while the angry weapons specialist took care of the agents.

"creator! creator!" Lunar cried. Ironhide shot the sparkling a smile, then turned back to growling and holding his cannons angrily at the agents.

"YOU DARE KIDNAP AND THREATEN MY BONDMATE AND SPARKLING?! DO YOU ALL WANT TO DIE!?" Ironhide shouted. the S7 agents cried out and backed away from the pissed off mech. he yelled curse words and Cybertronian, threatening them. he even grabbed them and tossed them aside.

"Ironhide! we don't harm the humans!" Optimus warned.

"not only did they hurt Will, they kidnapped him and my sparkling frag off Prime!" Ironhide growled. the Prime actually seemed surprised and backed off. he turned to Will, who was being seen by Ratchet. Wheeljack walked over quickly. Will handed Lunar off to him quickly, collapsing onto the ground. Ironhide walked over quickly.

"creator." Lunar cried reaching for Ironhide. Ironhide reached over and rubbed Lunars cheek gently.

"it's okay little one, just stay with Wheeljack." Ironhide said. Lunar whined softly, but cuddled the scientist. "is he safe to move?" Ironhide ask Ratchet.

"as safe as he can be. get him up. lets go." Ratchet said. Ironhide nodded and scooped up the injured mech. Will cuddled him and mumbled about being sorry.

"it's okay Will." Ironhide soothed. he carried Will outside and loaded him up into Optimus' trailer.

"lets go. get him back to the base." Ratchet ordered. Optimus nodded and transformed, hitching up to the trailer and taking off. Ironhide took Lunar carefully and transformed around him, he sparkling ending up in the drivers seat.

"stay still youngling. don't touch anything." Ironhide said as he started driving. Lunar knew this already, of course, ride with Ironhide were his favorite. Lunar hugged the seat, standing up to look out the window.

"carrier?" Lunar ask.

"he's with Optimus." Ironhide said. the others listened quietly, the sparklings chatter generally relaxed the group.

"where?" Lunar ask, moving to the passenger window.

"he's in front of us. you can't see over the dash. stop walking on my seats, Primus knows what all you've gotten all over your peds, I don't want that in my seats." Ironhide said. Lunar, of course didn't listen and tried his hardest to find Optimus.

"Opmus!" Lunar said, looking around.

"I told you he's in front of us. you can't see him." Ironhide said. for a normally angry mech, he had patients with the sparkling.

"Ironhide, Bee and I are moving if you'd like to ride beside Optimus." Sam said, speeding a head.

"thank you Sam, Lunar appreciates that." Ironhide sighed, speeding up enough to ride beside Optimus.

"hi Opmus!" Lunar shouted.

"hello little one. you should sit down before your creator blows a gasket." Optimus teased.

"Prime if you weren't haulin' Will, I'd hit you." Ironhide warned.

"whats that?" Lunar ask.

"you can ask Ratchet about it later, now sit down before I strap you down." Ironhide said. the sparkling pouted and plopped down. it was quiet, suddenly the radio turned on, full blast. "Lunar! I told you not to touch anything!" Ironhide hissed shutting his radio off.

"carrier was not on that." Lunar said sadly. Ironhide sighed.

"no carrier is in stasis in Optimus' trailer. he cannot talk to you through the radio right now. I'm sorry." Ironhide said. Lunar got quiet sitting in the seat.

"I miss him." Lunar whined.

"he's right there Lunar. you hate Optimus' trailer or you'd be with him. just sit down and- don't push that!" Ironhide hissed swerving. the others gave amused chuckles.

"issues Ironhide?" Ratchet teased. the Topkick growled at him.

"Lunar sit down and quit touching things or I will strap you down!" Ironhide hissed.

"drive backward!" Lunar squeal, Ironhide's tires suddenly turned, left and the mech went with it.

"I swear to Primus, sparkling! stop touching things!" Ironhide hissed. he quickly strapped the sparkling down with the seat belt.

"thats no fun!" Lunar cried. he cried loudly.

"Ironhide, stop torturing the kid." Will mumbled. Lunar got quiet and Ironhide growled.

"I am not torturing him. I put the seatbelt on him so he'd stop jumping around" Ironhide mumbled. he dropped the seatback gently, hoping Lunar would curl up and take a stasis nap. Will never replied, having used all the energy he could summon to openly com him so Lunar could hear him. Lunar squirmed and whined.

"no!" Lunar whined. Ironhide sighed slightly, letting the sparkling up. his holoform appeared in the backseat.

"lay down." Ironhide said. Lunar squealed and climbed into the backseat with the holoform. he cuddled Ironhide happily. he curled up and yawned. Ironhide held him gently and let him sleep. when they got to the base, Ironhide stayed outside, Lunar curled up in his backseat asleep. as much as he wanted to be with Will, he didn't want to wake Lunar so soon. if he didn't get enough rest, he'd be up and screaming all day until Ironhide got annoyed and went to the shooting range. Will would usually take care of him if he did that, but Will wasn't really in the condition to do that. he waited outside a bit before carefully transforming around the sparkling and cuddling him in his arm. he shifted the sparkling gently and held him tight. he might have been easy to anger, but he was more than glad that Lunar was alright.

"Ironhide?" Wheeljack ask, walking over. Ironhide looked at him.

"yeah? is Will okay?" Ironhide ask worriedly.

"yeah, we just assumed you were still out front and the sparkling was a sleep so I didn't want to just com you." Wheeljack ask. "he's fine. he's asleep. Ratchet finally got his energon leaks to stop." Wheeljack added. Ironhide looked slightly relieved.

"good. he looked really bad." Ironhide said. Wheeljack smiled slightly.

"I'll take him if you want to go sit with Will for a bit." Wheeljack offered. Ironhide looked down at the sleeping sparkling a moment, then nodded and passed him over.

"thank you." Ironhide said. Wheeljack nodded slightly, cuddling the sparkling. Ironhide walked quickly to the medbay, walking in. Ratchet didn't even look up, he looked tired. Ironhide sat beside Will and watched the medic a moment. "Ratchet? you okay? you should go get rest." Ironhide said. Ratchet turned and shook his head, watching Will.

"can't if he crashes what are you going to do?" Ratchet mumbled.

"wake you up." Ironhide smirks slightly. Ratchet chuckled lowly and got up, he walked over to one of the nearby berths and layd on it. Ironhide smiled and turned back to Will watching him. those S7 never even stood a chance. you don't fuck with Ironhide's family.
