It was not to be on your list of being welcomed back in the Autobot base. Although there wasn't much of a place for you to go anyways as the next time you take a step outside could be when the Decepticons take you indefinitely.

Having your arms crossed over your chest as you laid on the couch in your holoform. Even with not fighting for a short time, the excitement has turned into anxiety, seeing as your hands had the slightest twitch.

Raf and Jack were taking Bumblebee sightings off the internet. While Miko was helping Bulkhead with getting his strength back after being exposed to toxic energon.

While the atmosphere was inviting in the base. Your anxiety just kept hugging you more tightly with each new idea of what to do when returning home.

"A Cybertronian escape pod?" Raf announced causing your attention to be diverted to his computer screen.

"Here in Earth's atmosphere?" Ratchet questioned in disbelief.

"Autobot or Decepticon?" Arcee questioned

"Impossible to tell given the image resolution" Ratchet commented

"In any event. This merits investigation" Optimus stated

Tapping on your watch as you jumped off the couch and platform to revert to your alt-mode. "I will be coming along. If its Deception than I could probably negotiate into not attacking. Given my status back on Cybertron."

It stunned you for a moment when Optimus gave a nod of approval before composing yourself when the ground bridge was set to the escape pod's location.

Upon first glance, it was easy to say it was Deecepticon origin. Narrowing your optics for a better scope of the pod to be suddenly yanked by the back of the helm by Arcee when shots of red flew by.

"Already a battle at 9:30?" You questioned sarcastically using your ribbon sword to direct shot backs at the insecticons flying overhead and vehicons on the ground.

That was until a sudden white and blue body came jumping from the corner of your optic ridge. Surprised to see the Cybertronian was actually on your side. Until of course misfire happened and ignited the leaking energon from the pod.

Taking cover behind rock formations as an explosion of blue and brown clouded over. Peering over to see blue flames and decimated Decepticons laying about.

"Torching that energon leak. Pretty good plan right?" They said energetically.

Rolling your optics even despite knowing you would have done the same thing. Only just not as reckless.

"Thank you fellow Autobot. Your, valor is to be commended" Optimus greeted.

'Sentient of probable same age doesn't act as mature as I do' You thought as the newcomer gawked at Optimus.

"Smokescreen!" You said getting his attention as well as everyone else's "You'd be welcome to come join us seeing as you had your wings from the Autobot elite guard and to mention your young age appearance with no dents of your armor. Guessing you were placed on security or watch post as the war was still commencing."

The group was in awe at your detailed observation resulting in anxiety to once again cripple your calm demeanor.

"Who is she?" Smokescreen questioned bewildered by your automatic description.

Back at the base you immediately turned to your holoform and buried you face into the couch letting out a muffled groan for letting your mouth slip like that. It seems even after years of isolation your programming still functions.

"Is she going to be okay?"

Hearing smokescreen made you tuck your arms under your stomach not wanting anyone to see your expression.

"Might has been stressed for a while. When she comes around you could maybe talk to her about Cybertron. She doesn't have many memories." Jack said being sure to say the last part sincerely.

Unbeknownst, Ratchet had scanned you as your isolated behavior was unlike you from when they first encountered you. Reading your vitals showing to come up as no indication of injury but rather high anxiety justified from how you were used when as a sparkling.

Ratchet while he meant no intrusion was slightly unnerved when you rose from the couched and looked him directly but noticed you solemnly glance at the ground before looking back at him.

"This anxiety is crippling me" You spoke softly.

"Than you should maybe not go on this next mission" Ratchet suggested.

"... I had never been forged for any purpose other than missions. I can't back out since of something that can be fixed with better thinking" You stated.

"Fowler couldn't have the crane operator lower the thing?" Arcee questioned.

"The humans must have been preparing to transfer the meteor to a cargo ship when they received his evacuation order." Optimus inquired.

Glancing up at the crate hauled with red energon. Taking a moment to think before bending down and jumping on top of the crate. "I can lower this-"

"Run along home Autobots! That red energon has my name all over it" Starscreams voiced echoed from below.

"Not good," Shaking your helm until noticing Bee and Arcee starting to climb up to your position.

"The higher you climb the harder you fall!" Starscream taunted

"Hurry up!" You called out trying to untie the crates safety cables from the crane. Taking a glance up from under the crane witnessing as Starscream smacked Bumblebee off the crane's catwalk.

"Might!" Acree shouted reaching out to grab the cable you held out to her willing to not pay attention to Starscream approaching as the red energon was more important. Smiling when prime jumped and punched Starscream off only to hang onto the crate tearing a hole.

Walking over the edge staring down the Decepticon seeing his terrified expression "So long Starscream" You sang before bending down and loosening his grip much to his pleads as he plummeted down with a loud crash amongst the cargo boxes.

Turning you attention back to Prime and Arcee throwing them the cable. Waiting to be pulled up while hanging onto the hoist ropes. It lasted a moment that everything seemed fine until you were suddenly jolted causing you to sway with the crate.

"Starscream!" You shouted in agitation glancing down seeing the con had reappeared and lifted one part of the cranes structure from the ground.

Having to place your pede on top of the hook block to keep balance and not fall off just before the familiar green and blue glow of a ground bridge opening-up as Smokescreen appeared only in a new vehicle-mode.

The action was cut from view when the crate slightly dipped from your weight causing it to tilt onto its side just as something exploded from below. Trying to reach for Arcee's help just as the crate fell with you along with it.

"Mighty!" Smokescreen yelled in concern running over to help you up even though you had fallen right on top of the crate with only sustaining a few scratches.

"I'm alright, but we've lost the energon," You said while dusting yourself off "You know, you'd make a great addition to team prime than I would" Smiling at the cadet who seemed honored by your words.

"Ratchet, ground bridged us please," You said as a smile crept onto your facial plate at Smokescreen before glancing up at the rest of the team still on the crane giving a nod to Optimus as the ground bridge appeared.
