Ratchet's POV

As I looked for energon for our team my monitor alerted me to something entering Earth's atmosphere.
"Optimus I'm detecting something coming into the Earth's atmosphere. " I said.
"Do you know what it is old friend? " Optimus said from behind me.
"I'm not sure......BY THE ALLSPARK?!" I said shocked.
"Optimus it's a cybertronian escape pods. It's a youngling escape pods as well. " I said.
"Understood Rachet. Arcee. Bumblebee with me." Optimus said as I fired up the groundbridge to the coordinates.

Optimus's POV

After we arrived to the coordinates I spotted the younglings emerging from the pod. A mechling, a femmeling, and a cyber-kitsume by the looks of it. I quickly walked over to see the femmeling trying to stand. I quickly and carefully picked her up.
"W-Who a-are you?" She said weakly.
"A friend little one. Now rest you're safe now." I said trying to ease her tension.
She seemed calm with that answer and relaxed. Arcee had carefully picked up the mechling who was in recharge. Bumblebee had picked up the cyber-kitsume carefully.
"Ratchet open the groundbridge. And prepare the med bay." I said.
I felt the femmeling squirm in my arms. She let out a small squeak and seemed to be trying to get out of my servos.
"It's alright little one. You're safe." I said trying to clam her.
"N-no. P-please n-no m-more experiments p-please" She said squirming and slightly crying.
I hushed her and gently rubbed the back of her helm. It broke my spark to hear this. What have these younglings been through? Arcee and Bumblebee seemed hurt by what she said. Arcee carefully walked over to me and stepped in front of the femmeling's optic sight.
"You're safe little one. The autobots would never do that to you." Arcee said softly to the femmeling.
She stopped squirming and look at us. Her blue optics shining with hope.
"Y-You're autobots. " She said.
"Yes we are young one." I said.
The groundbridge opened and we started making our way there. Once we were in base Ratchet quickly came over to the younglings and took them to the med bay. After they were in recharge he came out.
"Their alright. However from what the one femmeling said it appears she was experimented on by the decepticons. " Ratchet said.
I was horrified by this information. The decepticons had tested on younglings! It was unforgivable.
"From the scans I gathered the only thing they did was add wings to her and change her structure a bit. However I will keep a close optic on her in the meantime. " Ratchet said.
"And the other two?" Acree asked.
"The mechling by the looks of it was abused and neglected. The cyber-kitsume seems like she was separated from her clan. Also they all are extremely malnourished. " Ratchet said.
After a while Ratchet went to the monitor the command center. I peaked in on the younglings to see the femmeling attempting to stand up on her own. I carefully walked into the med bay and tried to lay her back down. She layed down looking at me.
"You need to rest little one." I said softly.
"Optimus. " Ratchet said approaching the med bay.
He looked and saw the femmeling was awake and motioned for me to move. I moved and he carefully moved the femmeling to sit up. He motioned for me to sit down next to her and to help her sit up.
Once I sat down she slightly leaned against me and looked up at me. I gave her a soft smile.

Angelwing's POV

I looked up and the red and blue bot smiled at me. I felt safe with him and the other Bots. I looked over to see a white and red bot working not to far from where we were.
"Optimus. Here." He handed the blue and red bot and energon bottle.
So the red and blue mech in called Optimus. I wonder what the other mech is called? I'll try to ask him?? I looked over at the white mech and tried to speak but only got a small squeak. I tried again and got another. I was about to try again when I felt something rub my helm.
"Don't try to hurt yourself femmeling. " the white mech said sounding amused.
I shot him a look and huffed.
"I-I h-h-have a d-designation y-you know." I managed to say.
"Oh really?" The white mech said playfully.
"Can you say it?" Optimus said gently putting a servo on my backstruts and sitting down the energon bottle on the berth.
"A-Angelwing." I said before coughing a bit.
"Easy little one easy." The white mech said as Optimus rubbed my backstruts gently.
I soon stopped coughing and began breathing in deeply.
"Alright little one no more talking until your strong enough." The white mech said.
I nodded and to my surprise I felt myself being mover onto Optimus's lap. He carefully cradled me in his servos before the white mech handed him the energon bottle.
"Until you are strong enough to hold your own energon cube I'm afraid we'll have to feed you by hand." The white mech said to me.
I was about to say something when I felt the energon bottle tip in the derma. I looked at the other bot and he gave a small nod. I started drinking the energon and once the bottle was empty I layed back in the bot's servos. I could hear both the mech's chuckle before I fell into recharge.

Ratchet's POV

After the femmeling fell back into recharge I gently layed her on a heated mesh blanket. She snuggled against and slightly purred. I looked over at Optimus.
"Looks like we might have our hands full." I said chuckling.
"Indeed old friend. However if we can give them a better life I think we can all deal with them." Optimus said.
After a while Arcee, Bumblebee,  and Bulkhead went to get their charges and I sent up a small area to put the younglings once they woke up. When the other bots returned with their humans I had kept a optic on the younglings as they recharged.
"Woah!" I heard a familiar voice say.
I rolled my optics and turned to see Miko looking at the area I set up for the younglings.
"Miko do not touch anything." I said.
She looked at me and slightly pouted.
"Why?" Miko said.
I was about to say something when Bulkhead said something first.
"Miko wanna go dune bashing? " He said.
She smiled and climbed onto his servo. They lefted afterward and Raf was helping me with the monitors. I peaked over to see Angelwing was awake. I walked over and carefully picked her up. She gave me a squeak of protest and I chuckled. I set her down in the area I had set up and set her down in it. She look confused and looked at me.
"While you and the others are healing this will be the area that you all will go in to work to build your strength. " I said patting her helm.
She gave another squeak before Arcee drove with Jack. Raf came over and gretted Jack. Arcee noticed Angelwing and came over with a smile.
"Hi little one." She said smiling.
She reached over and gently rubbed her helm. The youngling gave a small squeak and purred. I chuckled and quickly peaked to see if the other two were awake. They were still in recharge.
"Once the other two wake up I'll put them in their with her. I'm sure I can trust you to keep an optic on them." I said.
Arcee smiled and nodded.
"I'm pretty sure I can handle that." She said patting the youngling on her head.
I smiled and nodded before heading back to the monitors.
"Also the femmeling managed to tell us her designation. Her designation is Angelwing."  I said over my shoulder to Arcee.
She nodded and smiled at the femmeling.
"Angelwing huh? I think it's a cute name." She said smiling.
The femmeling smiled nervously and gave a small squeak. After a while Blukhead and Miko returned.

Angelwing's POV

The green mech returned with a small creature. I noticed two other creatures both mechs sitting near the femme who was rubbing my backstruts now. I noticed the creature who came in looked femme to me. She turned and spotted me. Suddenly I heard a high pitched noise coming from her. My wings shot up in a panic as I had no idea why she was yelling. Where the Decepticons attacking?!
"What's your name? Where did you come from? Are you a truck? Are you a wrecker? ..........." She said enthusiastically.
She kept asking a lot of questions and I had no idea what some meant. What's a truck? What does wrecker mean? I was very confused when the femme started to shoo the smaller femme away. The the femme went over to a yellow mech and started talking to him. The white mech came over carrying Blade. Blade look really uncomfortable being carried like a sparkling. The white mech sat him down in the area and patted his helm.
"Try not to injure yourself. Or your friend. " He said half chuckling. Blade looked like he was gonna hit him but refrained for doing so. He scooted closer to where I was and gave an annoyed huff. The white Mech chuckled at this and went back to work.
"Hey Ratchet. Where did they come from?" A male voice said.
I looked over to see the smaller mech approaching the white mech.  So his name is Ratchet? Well at least I know his designation now.
"They were in an escape pod Raf. There is another one but she is still sleeping." Ratchet answered.
So the small one is Raf? Ok that's an interesting designation.
"Miko!" The green mech said.
I turned my helm to see the creature falling  towards me. I carefully caught her and hoped she was OK. She looked up at me and started jumping on my hand. Which made me more nervous for her safety. Then the green Mech carefully took her off my hand.

"Thank you." He said to looking relieved.
I nodded be fore she started asking me a million questions again. Blade looked annoyed and turned to her.
"W-we a-aren't supposed t-to t-talk." He huffed to her softly.
She look confused for a minute.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Miko. Their still pretty weak from the lack of energon. Ratchet wants them to save his strength for now." The green Mech explained.
So her name is Miko? Another interesting designation but I guess sometimes we don't choose our own names? Then Blade nodded at the green mech's response. Ratchet started coming over and looked slightly annoyed at Miko and the green mech.
"Do you have a reason for disturbing the younglings Bulkhead? They're supposed to be resting not being questioned." He said.
I'm gonna guess that the green mech is called Bulkhead.
"Sorry Ratchet. Miko got curious and almost got herself hurt." He said with a sigh.
The he chuckled and looked at me.
"Lucky for us this little femmeling caught her in the knick of time." Bulkhead said smiling in my direction.
Miko was about to say something when I heard pedsteps approaching.
"It would be best if we let the younglings rest. While it is good they are being careful with our human friends. They are still healing and need time to do so." Optimus said.
The others nodded and went do their own thing. Blade saw Optimus and quickly ducked behind me. I gave him a look and was confused. I decided to try and comm him.
:Blade? What is it?: I asked.
:Remember how I told you about Orion. That's him.: he answered.
:What? That can be right? Earlier he was called Optimus.: I said
:That may be true but that's still Orion: he said.
Then Optimus looked at Blade and slightly smiled. Blade let out a squeak and ducked further behind me. Optimus gently reached over and picked him up and carried him somewhere. Soon Ratchet came over and picked me out of the area and took me back to the med bay. He sounded upset and he was grumbling. Cherry was awake and looked at me confused. I shrugged in her direction but it didn't stop me from thinking.....

Why was the Autobot medic so upset?
