Optimus did in fact do a little happy dance after you pecked his cheek.

He also berated himself for his servo kiss. Seriously? A servo kiss! Why didn't he just kiss your cheek? He'd do that next time, he told himself. Just thinking of it made his cooling fans kick back in as he walked with Grimlock. Optimus was glad you hadn't notice the whole time, though the dinobot was giving him suspicious looks.

Anyways, a long while later, Grimlock busted through another wall, except this time it led to Blackarachnia. She lay down on an operating table, kept down by restraints. Meltdown was at the raised control panel beside it, with railings at the side.

You kept yourself hidden away while still listening in.

"No hurting spider lady!" Grimlock demanded. Optimus held the genetic modifier with a tight grasp.

"Ah, gentlemen. I've been waiting for you. Do you have my genetic modifier with you?" The acid man asked, facing the two. He cackled to himself.

"You're not getting it until she gives the venom antidote to my friends!" Optimus demanded, holding out the item.

"I was afraid you might say that," the scientist said. He smiled and snapped his fingers.

Optimus's faceplates was attacked with tentacles that wrapped around his helm. A giant shark crab thing had a hold of him. A giant bat creature was on Grimlock. The two were tossed into a pit where they could see the sky, their backs slamming onto the ground. The creatures set themselves after them.

You couldn't bare to stay on the sidelines watching this. Optimus needed backup now!

"Hey! Get off of them!" You shouted leaping into the pit. You kicked off the freaky shark thing and punched it into the dirt. "Optimus, are you okay?!" You held the thing to the ground with your superior Decepticon strength, though you could only do it for so long.

Optimus stood back up on his pedes. "I'll be okay! Are you sure you're up for this?!" He knew he'd said you were his backup, but he was also keenly aware of your distaste for battle. All Megatron had done had turned you away from it.

"I'll be fine! I'm your backup, remember?!" He couldn't help but let out a short laugh at that.

Grimlock was assaulted to the ground by the bat creature. He kicked it off and took out his sword, which immediately went aflame. He swung at them again and again.

"Grimlock, no! You'll set the whole island on fire!" The Prime warmed.

The shark thing broke free from your hold and slammed you into the ground. You yelled out and Optimus ran to help.

"No one tells me Grimlock how to fight!" The dinobot swing his sword again, causing a line of fire to appear on the ground. It went all the way until it hit a tree, burning the leaves to a crisp and lighting up the night sky.

Grimlock continued swinging his sword at the bat creature. You and Optimus managed to throw the shark thing off of you. Unfortunately, it then wrapped its tentacles around the Prime's neck and toss him into his back. A sharp crab claw was pointed threateningly at his face.

The flying dinobot came in out of nowhere and lifted the experiment off of the Prime. The two experiments were defeated by the trio of dinobots, one being clocked in the middle by the stegosaurus with the club. All three were now in bipedal mode, savoring their victory.

"Dinobots rule!" Grimlock cheered. A towering tree fell behind you all, shaking the ground. "Oops! Fire bad."

"Stay back, I'll handle this!" Optimus announced. You helped him get off the ground before he aimed his servo, blasting out fire extinguisher.

"Thank you all for helping us," you exclaimed quickly.

The trio couldn't help but be surprised. You were adorable too. With happy little smiles on their faces, they immediately decided they liked you.

Blackarachnia's screams of pain pierced the quiet atmosphere.

"Blackarachnia!" Optimus shouted.

You ran to the spot where Grimlock had previously destroyed the wall. The spider femme was getting the life electrocuted out of her.

"Stop!" You yelled. You were in distress. Your spark couldn't bare to see anyone in that kind of unfathomable pain.

Meltdown whipped around, his eyes thinning. He aimed avid at the Prime, who managed to dodge more shots of it, hitting the ground. He aimed his grappling hook as he did so, and it wrapped around the genetic modifier. It flew out and clamored to the floor.

Optimus went to free Blackarachnia. Meltdown went after the fallen item, but you made it there first, clutching it to your chassis. The mad scientist grabbed onto your back and wrapped his arms around your neck, his acid spilling all over your frame. You screeched in pain.

"No!" Optimus grabbed the man by the suit and tossed him aside. You accidentally released the device from your grip, and landed upright on the floor.

Green electricity crackled around it, and Meltdown attempted to grab it. His hands melted into acid waterfalls. He cried out in distress and sank to his knees, where his body began losing form. Soon he was just a pool of acid on the floor.

The two of you lingered, wondering what the hell just happened. You snapped out of it seconds later, turning your attention to the still restrained Blackarachnia. The two of you clasped your hands together into fist and took smashed away the restraints.

   "Optimus, you came back, even after everything," Blackarachnia gasped. Her optics were half lidded, her smile was tired and appreciative and yet still rubbed you the wrong way. She looked at you, her face snapping to surprise. "Your majesty?"

   You nodded.

   "I promised I'd come back. Y/N's with the Autobots now," The Prime said quietly.

   "My feelings for you are still hardwired into me." She caressed his face again. "Hold me closer." The dinobots quickly grew jealous by the broken wall hole. You crossed your arms and squeezed  them so your clenching fists weren't apparent. You looked away.

   "No!" Grimlock yelled, charging forwards, knocking Optimus onto the ground. You jumped away so you wouldn't end up there too. Blackarachnia got of the table and transformed into her spider form.

   "Hey, get back here!" You called out. The giant spider was escaping, but Grimlock kicked t your leg while wrestling Optimus. You ended up tripping over the operating table and biting the floor too.

Optimus threw Grimlock off and ran over to you and helped you to your pedes.

"She escaped, I couldn't stop her," you said with a frown.

"You see?" Optimus turned to Grimlock. "She was just using us!"

"No no no! Spider lady wouldn't! Grimlock love spider lady!"

"Grim, she's not gonna come back for you," you tried to soothe him with a servo gently resting on his shoulder. He moaned sadly looking from you to the door and back, but chose to run after the Decepticon. The other two dinobots followed.

Optimus picked up the genetic modifier from the puddle of goo that once was Meltdown.

The two of you left the lab and made your way back to Prowl and Bee. You almost thought the two were offline for good, but found the antidote laying next to them.

"She kept her word after all," the mech mumbled to himself.

Your fists balled up. You didn't want to think about her anymore.

Optimus administered the antidote. The two woke up slowly.

Bee groaned. "How long have we been out?"

"'Bout two cycles. Are you two feeling okay?" You looked from one mech to the other in concern, still sitting on your shins.

"We're okay now. Thank you," Prowl replied.

"Ha! See Prowl? I can be quiet for longer than a few cycles!" Bee cheered.

"Yes, all it took was being captured and paralyzed."

"Oh no no no! Don't go making up new rules on me! Pay up with that sweet axel grease!"

Optimus just smiled and chuckled. Time to get you all out of here.

And return that genetic modifier and clear things up with Fanzone and Powell.

"Blackarachnia didn't have to leave that antidote, but she did. Maybe there's hope for her yet," he said quietly.

The two of you were the only ones in the living room. Sari has insisted on watching a movie, but Bee had to take her to bed after the first quarter. Prowl and Ratchet didn't watch. Bulkhead left after Bee.

You were on the floor in front of the couch which Optimus sitting just an inch away.

"I dunno, Op," you admitted, "she's done so much damage. I've always thought Cons could change if they just tried, but . . . she scares me so much, Op. I know you have hope for her to be the Elita-1 you used I know but, just be careful." You looked down at him hopefully, optics full of concern.

"I will, Y/N, I always am." His voice and his lovely faceplates full of assurance. You weren't too convinced.

"Are you though?" You asked jokingly, masking your concern and jealousy. Optimus shook his helm, still smiling. A moment passed with neither of you talking, you hesitantly spoke up. "Were you and Elita ever together?"

The Prime was surprised by your question. He looked back up at you. "Um no, we weren't."

"Oh. I just thought . . ."

He gave you a curious and confused look. "You thought what?"

"You don't notice how she keeps flirting with you? It was kind of the whole reason the dinobots tried to kill you." Your digits fumbled with each other in your lap.

"I, oh," Optimus flushed as he thought of his closeness with her. You looked away. Your spark hurt.

"Did you want to be?" You whispered.

"I used to."

"And now?"

"I've . . . I've moved on." Your optics locked together. He smiled at you again. Jealous still prodded at your spark, but something told you to ignore it for now. You smiled back.

Optimus turned back to the movie. You did the same. He glanced up at you, mentally debating his next action, and ultimately deciding to rest his helm against your shoulder. You had to readjust a little bit, but you then let your helm lay over his. Your servos were in your lap, but you could feel his take one. He held it tenderly between the two of you.

You kissed the top of his helm. Maybe today wasn't so bad.
