Ratchet took one look at Jazz before sighing and kneeling down closer to Mazikeen,

"What was the object that you used on your bigger wounds?"

"It was this spray that I created. It is supposed to use synthetic skin to patch up any big wounds...It worked, but I guess it's only temporary, which I gotta fix,"

Ratchet scratched his chin and nodded,

"Okay...how did you get your stab wound?"

Mazikeen glanced at him, 

"Oh, you are definitely going to yell at me,"

Ratchet sighed and nodded, 

"I won't,"

Mazikeen smiled brightly at him, 

"Over in Qatar, my squad and I were attacked by the Decepticons, one of them was this big scorpion thing and it stabbed me...but it's okay because I cut off the tip of the thing that stabbed me with my lightsaber!"

"Was the tip still inside you?"

Mazikeen blushed,

"Yessss?"

Ratchet closed his optics and sighed, 

"When did you take it out?"

"After I cut it out,"

"Do you have any idea how much blood you could have lost?!"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"A lot?"

Ratchet finally looked at Jazz again and pointed a finger at him,

"Your responsibility now,"

Jazz raised his servos in mock surrender, 

"I know, doc bot,"

Ratchet turned back to Mazikeen, 

"And I'm assuming everything else was from the Mission City fight?"

Mazikeen winced and looked at him, 

"Ummmm....Barricade may or may not have bruised up my leg because he managed to land a hit on me during our fight,"

Ratchet sighed deeply and nodded, 

"Okay. I need to start closing the wounds, I need to restitch your wounds so you have to be very still,"

Mazikeen tilted her head in confusion, 

"How?"

Ratchet grumbled, and suddenly, there was a small bright light. Mazikeen closed her eyes for a moment and opened them back up to see a man in a lab coat. 

Mazikeen gasped,

"Holy shit,"

Jazz laughed at her reaction, 

"Lil M, we all have holo-forms,"

Mazikeen glared at him, 

"And I would know that because?"

Jazz chuckled and raised his servos in defense. Mazikeen looked at Ratchet, 

"You coulda had Rover help,"

Rover nodded and walked closer to Ratchet, 

"I am trained in some medical things,"

Ratchet looked at the small droid and sighed before shaking his head, 

"Maybe next time, Rover, but make Mazikeen sit still,"

Rover nodded and saluted before walking closer to Mazikeen, 

"Maze?"

Mazikeen smiled at him and nodded, 

"Yeah?"

"If you scare Sam and I like that again, I will burn your books,"

Mazikeen gasped, 

"ROVER!"

Rover nodded his head,

"It was not fun,"

Mazikeen sighed and nodded,

"I am sorry, Rover...I know it must have been hard,"

Rover looked down and nudged her good leg, 

"Sam was upset...I was upset...your parents were upset. But Sam shut down for a little that day, like I do when I forget to recharge at night,"

Mazikeen smiled softly at him, 

"Yeah, I know, Bud...but I will do better at not scaring you both...I am proud of you though,"

Rover immediately perked up as his optics glowed brighter,

"Really?"

Mazikeen smiled,

"Yeah, you never backed down, Rover. I know a bunch of people who would have if faced with something twenty times their size. You, my friend, are the bravest droid I know,"

Rover laughed and fist-bumped the air, 

"Hah! Take that! Autobots and Decepticons fear me!"

Mazikeen laughed, and Ratchet sighed, 

"You really like pumping him up, don't you?"

Mazikeen glanced at Ratchet as he kept stitching her up. Mazikeen smiled softly and nodded, 

"Rover is not just a droid I created for my baby brother. He is a part of our family. I care about him, and I know he cares about us,"

Rover nodded his head immediately and grabbed her right hand after Ratchet finished stitching up that arm, 

"You are my only family, Maze...and I love you five. And I know I will like Mikaela too if she stays with Sam,"

Mazikeen's eyes immediately brightened, 

"Oh my god! I need details Rove,"

Rover immediately nodded,

"Sam has liked her for a long time, as you know. She followed after him when we were being chased by Bumblebee but ran into Barricade. She has been a very kind person to me and does care for Sam. Ratchet said something funny when we met them, something about pheromin whatever and Sam wanting to mate with her,"

Mazikeen immediately burst into a fit of laughter, for which Ratchet scolded her, 

"BE CAREFUL!"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"S-Sorry Ratch, that's too funny,"

Rover nodded,

"Then we went to get your grandfather's glasses, which you might know about since you visited him two times,"

Mazikeen frowned in confusion before the realization dawned on her and she immediately nodded, 

"Yep, I did and he was happy his glasses were put to good use,"

"Yeah! But then we got caught by those agents but I stayed in Sam's bag so I was not seen as our protocol. But then we found you! I am very happy you came back,"

Mazikeen smiled softly and patted his head, 

"I am too, bud,"

Rover seemed to realize something as his optics dimmed slightly, 

"You are going away again, aren't you?"

Mazikeen looked at him and sighed,

"Ep ep ep. Do not even think about going anywhere until you are healed,"

Mazikeen smirked and winked at Ratchet, 

"Of course, doc,"

Jazz finally walked closer to the bed and kneeled down, 

"Are you feeling better?"

Mazikeen nodded her head, 

"Yeah, I am,"

Ratchet nodded and took one final glance over his work and nodded, 

"You are done, but you are not allowed to leave this bed until I say so, your stab wound is fully wrapped, but it will take some time for it to heal,"

Mazikeen sighed and nodded, 

"Can I work on stuff?"

Ratchet looked at her, 

"Such as?"

"I want to get my spray working,"

Jazz tilted his head,

"The one that would have burned your skin if it did not work?"

Mazikeen winced and nodded, 

"Yeah, but it is supposed to work long term, not short,"

Rover nudged her hand and Mazikeen looked at him, 

"You did not answer my question"

Mazikeen sighed, 

"Oh, Bud...I don't know yet,"

Rover sighed and nodded, 

"Will you tell Sam and I when you learn if you are?"

Mazikeen smiled softly and nodded, 

"I will,"

Rover nodded, 

"Good, I am going to find Sam to get you soup,"

Mazikeen chuckled, 

"Soup?"

Rover nodded and turned to Ratchet,

"Soup is good for her to eat, right?"

Ratchet nodded, 

"Yes, she can have soup,"

Rover turned to Mazikeen and saluted her,

"I will be back with Sam soon, it should not be hard to find him,"

Mazikeen raised her eyebrow, 

"Is this place small?"

Rover shook his head, 

"No...but I have learned that I can find him if I try hard enough,"

Mazikeen tilted her head a little bit but nodded, 

"Okay,"

Rover slid down the bed and ran off. Mazikeen scratched her chin in thought and Jazz nudged her right arm carefully, 

"By your face, Rover was not given that ability from ya,"

Mazikeen sighed and shook her head, 

"No...I did not,"

Ratchet glanced down at her, 

"How did you create him?"

Mazikeen smiled softly,

"I was fifteen when I created his skeleton. When I was sixteen, I knew that I wanted to fight in the army...I didn't want to leave my baby brother though...so I started working on Rover's mind, he is an artificial intelligence droid, I created his program in a year and just put it in his chest in a computer chip...I was not fully expecting him to turn on, but he did and I taught him everything I knew...and here he is,"

Jazz smiled,

"Seems like you have a sparkling of your own,"

Mazikeen tilted her head in confusion, 

"Sparkling is the same thing as a baby, right?"

Jazz nodded, 

"Yeah,"

Mazikeen sighed and shrugged, 

"I guess, in a way. But I just prefer to think of Rover as another brother I guess...or close friend, even if I haven't had that much time with him, Sammy has spent a long time with Rover, so he is part of my family,"

Ratchet sighed, 

"Where is this fire spray?"

Mazikeen smiled widely and pointed to her bag, 

"Hand me my bag please,"

Ratchet did as asked and Mazikeen immediately opened her bag and the two watched as she tossed a few disks, devices, and weapons out of it and finally took out a spray bottle,

"Here it is!"

jazz glanced at the heap of things next to her, 

"How much stuff do you have?"

Mazikeen blushed and shrugged, 

"I got bored...Will has the rest of my inventions,"

Ratchet smiled, 

"You do enjoy working on technology,"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"Yep! Ever since I was younger, but none of that stuff really worked out for me...but I started working on Phoenix when I was fourteen, she was my first ever jump start to full on projects, not just tinkering,"

"And you only tested her in Mission City?"

"Uh...yeah, it took me a long long time to get all the materials and start wiring everything correctly...especially the programming that had to be done in order to get her functioning the way I wanted her to,"

Ratchet nodded, 

"You must be careful with your stab wound, but if you do not move around too much, you can still work on your inventions,"

Mazikeen smiled hugely and nodded, 

"I promise,"

Jazz smirked, 

"You will have to mean that promise, Ratchet can always find small wrenches to throw at you,"

Mazikeen laughed and nodded, 

"I will,"
