Return to the Light

Bee came out of defrag before the siblings. Snuggling tighter against the still form of Droct, he listened to the muffled conversations of the other garbage mechs that were still hiding within the network of tunnels. It seemed that this happened fairly regularly to them, but the garbage mechs seemed to blindly accept the fact that they were considered nothing more than worthless vermin by the other mech groups.

Tears again filled the half-primed mech’s optics. Not only for the weakness within him, but for the unfairness of Droct’s world. He felt partially to blame, for he was an Autobot, and even they turned a blind optic to the plight of the garbage mechs.

Shame flowed through him. Now he knew that he was the most pathetic of mechs. For Droct had nothing, had had no one – yet he was so strong that he continued on day-after-day in his personal quest to try and make life better for those less fortunate than himself. Yes, Droct was better than the best of the Autobots. He was a better warrior than Prime himself! Droct fought an enemy that no Autobot had truly faced – he fought hopelessness.

Running his fingers along the distorted armor plating of the sleeping garbage mech, Bee wondered if he could ever truly pay Droct back for all he had done. Even if he was able to talk Optimus into offering the garbage mech a position in the Autobot ranks, would Droct accept it? If he did, would the other Autobots ever realize that the ugly mech was truly better than any one of them?

Lost in his thoughts, Bee was slowly tracing circles on his friend’s armor. His fingertips felt something wet. Coming swiftly back to reality, Bee wished it wasn’t pitch black in these tunnels! For now he was forced to use his sense of touch to figure out why Droct’s shoulder was wet.

Probing gently with his fingers, he felt fresh damage to Droct’s armor. The garbage mech groaned softly as he re-activated in response to the pain stimulus. Bee felt Droct’s other hand curl around his probing fingers and force them away.

“Now, now, don’t be worrying ‘bout me Yellow. I’ve had worse,” his soft voice told Bee.

Shaking his head, Bee again reached towards the damaged section, wanting Droct to know that he was, indeed, worried.

“Shhh, I was just a little slow in getting underground, that’s all. It’s just surface damage. I’ll be fine,” Droct said as he grabbed Bee’s fingers again.

Bee sagged sadly against the damaged mech. He knew why Droct had been slow to hide. It was because Bee had freaked out, and Droct wouldn’t leave him out there! So it was all his fault that the mech had taken a hit.

“Now don’t go blaming yourself Yellow. It’s mine, I just didn’t spot the Seekers soon enough.”

Again the mech apologized for something that was totally not his fault! Bee wished he’d just quit doing that, because this time it was Bee’s fault! Plain and simple!

Muffled shouts were heard coming down from the surface tunnels.

“Well, all’s clear,” Droct said. Stretching his undamaged arm over Bee, he tapped his sister’s helm to get her to re-activate.

She moved against Bee’s back as she re-activated. Feeling the little mech still pressed against her, she patted him comfortingly. “So you doing a little better Yellow?” she asked.

Bee nodded, but grabbed her hand that was patting him and directed it towards Droct’s damaged shoulder. As his sister’s fingers touched him, Droct tried to bat them away.

“I’ve already told Yellow that I’m fine,” he said.

“Well, obviously he doesn’t think so, and I agree with him. So when we get back home, you are going to sit still and let us look you over!” T’ran’s voice was firm.

Bee grinned, because from the tone of her voice, she was quite used to dealing with Droct wanting to avoid being center of attention. Kind’ve reminded him of Ratchet and Ironhide back home.

Slowly they peeled themselves apart from each other, and began to carefully crawl through the cramped tunnels. Following T’ran blindly, Bee thought he could hear Droct trying to conceal his grunts of pain as he brought up the rear. Frowning, the little mech tapped T’ran to slow down.

“He’s always like this. Freagin’ stubborn when he gets hurt and never lets us spend the funds or time to repair him right!” T’ran whispered to Bee. “He’s always broke because he’s repairing you mechs. Nothing against you, Yellow,” she sighed. “He just never thinks of himself, that’s all. And it’s frustrating!”

Bee nodded his agreement and patted her back. He could sense her smile as she understood what he meant.

They moved on as Droct finally caught up.

The tunnel slowly began to brighten as they neared the surface. Finally, the entrance to the tunnel came in sight! The three poked their heads above the surface of the dump, just as a few dozen other garbage mechs poked theirs up. Scanning warily around like a bunch of Prairie Dogs looking for Coyotes. Satisfied that the con shuttle had indeed left and thus, the coast was clear. The garbage mechs all flooding out of their holes and went back to their scavenging.

T’ran helped Droct out of the tunnel, and both she and Bee looked at each other in dismay. Droct had lied when he said it was just surface damage, for his entire right shoulder assembly had taken a direct hit. Now, his arm just dangled by a few linkages, completely useless.

“Crap Droct, why the hell did you lie about your damage?” T’ran asked as she put her hands on her hips and glared at her brother.

He just shrugged his other shoulder, “It’s nothing,” he stated dismissively, and made like he was going to start working again, not even bothering to get repaired.

Bee crossed his arms, matching T’ran’s glare at Droct, and frowned. Making sure that his agreement with the femme was obvious.

Droct looked from one to the other. “Not you too Yellow?”

Bee nodded. Grabbing Droct’s good arm, he began to drag the reluctant mech towards their shack. He heard T’ran snickering as she followed them along. Turning his head to look at her, she gave him a wink and an approving smile. Bee’s core lightened a little bit, for now he could at least start paying Droct back – by holding him down so that T’ran could repair him properly!
