StarStream

Starlighter rolled into the main hangar as fast as her wheels would take her, skidding into a stop right in front of her mech creator's office.

:. Watch the wiring! .: Starlighter said as her processor acknowledge the pain of Moonstreams hands griping on to the wriing in her neck tightly.

:. Then don't try to fragging injure me! .:

:. Quit being a sparkling. It was fun! .:

:. Sides is better on his wheels. .:

:. Of course you would think that?.:

:. At least he hasn't nearly made me fall to the ground. .:

:. First off, I didn't let you fall. Secondly, you would've deactivated the holoform before you hit the ground. Lastly, sure okay. That's why you think that. .: Starlighter sent knowingly.

:. Why don't you just come out and day what you're implying. .: Moonstream challenged.

:. You like Sides. You liked him on Cybertron and you like him here. .: Lighter said.

:. Well it's either him or the slaghead twins. Jazz is busy. Jolt is with Ratchet. Bee is with Sam. Dad is busy. Prowl is boring, and Blaster is still getting used to base life. .:

:. Just say it. You like Sides. I mean you two did sneak away, when everyone was welcoming Blaster. .:

:. I snuck away. He followed. .:

:. Because he likes you back. .:

:. Don't we have a meeting to get to? .:

:. It can wait. This is important. Why won't you admit it? .:

:. Cause there'-s no- .:

:. Slag! Total slag. Don't lie to me. You can't lie to me. I feel all giddy you get, when he's around. .:

:. Ya know there's this rumor going around base about you and Sunny. Apparently, you were getting pretty close in the training room. .:

:. Slag it, Blaster! .:

:. Even if you had kept your emotions in check on your end of the bond, I still would've believed him. .:

:. Over me? .:

:. Yes my dear sister, because I know that you've been trying to get in Sunflower's chasis. .:

:. I have not! .:

:. Slag! Total slag. Don't lie to me. You can't lie to me. When your around him, it's not your energon lust that starts rising. .:

:. Shut up! .: Starlighter's face plates began to heat up and she vented in embarrassment.

:. Only if you do. .:

:. No. You know what? Go ahead and say it. I know you like Sides, and I know you're not gonna do anything about it, because you think he doesn't like you because you don't have your frame, but that's slag and you know it. .:

:. I can't wait until I'm out of here, because I am not sticking around when you and Sunny to get it on. .:

Starlighter was going to say something, when the doors to Prime's office opened. "You two quit arguing and come inside." He said. He knew that's what they were doing from the looks on their faces.

Starlighter sat Moonstream down on Prime's desk, where she promptly folded to the ground Indian style. Star sat down in the chair across from their mech creator and Optimus sat down in his chair.

"What's up?" His twins asked in sync.

"It's Blackarachnia." He said.

Starlighter's optics widened in surprise, while Moonstream's face lost all emotion. Her lips were pressed in a tight line and crossed her arms over her chest.

"What about her?" Moonstream asked.

"She has been spotted here on Earth in Brazil. Ratchet believes that if he could examine her and get a sample of her venom, that he could possibly create an antidote."

"So she'd go back to normal?" Starlighter asked hopefully.

"If it were to work, yes." Optimus answered cautiously. He didn't want to get Starlighter's hopes up in case it didn't work. He didn't want to get his own up either. He knew that Moonstream wasn't going to take this all well. Blackarachnia had in many ways hurt her. If it wasn't for the creation of Blackarachnia, then there would've been no pure hated towards Nightracer. If Starlighter hadn't been so focused on offlining Starlighter, Moonstream would have her body. That wasn't her min concern. It was the loss she felt because of Blackarachnia, the pain in her spark that although could be dulled, would never go away.

"Why are you telling us this?" Moonstream asked.

"I want you two to join me in a mission to capture her." He said.

"What? Are we going to find the con base, storm it, and bring her back?" Starlighter asked.

Moonstream had pretty much figured out what was happening as soon as Optimus said "join me in a mission." "You want us to go with you. Just us and maybe Jazz and Ratchet. We're the only ones that you can be sure won't offline her. And even if your options for this mission weren't limited, we'd still be on the list to go, not because of what she is to us, but because we manage to bait her out with no problem."

"Moon-"

"Shut it Star!"

"Moonstream, calm yourself." Prime said. He then vented before speaking. "What you say is the truth, but you can only go if you both agree to it."

It took no less than a second. It didn't take bond speak or a comm. It didn't even take the emotional pull of the bond. The two answered at the same time. "We're going."

"Very well. I shall speak with Jazz to get everything arranged. You two may go."
