No greater love

A portal flies open, and suddenly there are two more transformers in the Nexus. One is large and black... and sparking, smoking, and missing several pieces. The other is smaller, her gold and black paint scuffed and smoke stained but relatively undamaged

"You're talking to a bot with literal healing hands. Can I see her?"

[random_xtras]

He's the recipient of a deep frown, but then recognition dawns and he holds out his hand. The blond toddler is bruised, covered in unidentified fluids of Cybertronian origin, and frightened nearly out of her mind, but relatively unharmed.

"Bumblebee?" asks Nova, confused.

"Shhh," Ironhide tells her.

[bumblebee_bot]

"She's mostly okay. Just a little freaked." Bumblebee getly attempts to calm her down using some of the more psychic abilities of the Force. while also concentarting it's healing abilities on the bruises

"Unfortunately, not much I can do for you at the moment," He syas, speaking to 'hide. "Force doesn't work too well when trying to heal metal."

"Don't worry about me." Ironhide's optics are fixed on the tiny girl, whose wails have faded to whimpers and requests for Mama and Daddy.

"But you're leaking all over the place," says Nova, frowning down at the puddle she's now standing in.

"I'm fine," he rumbles dismissively.

"...Don't tell me those Pit spawned piles of scrap went after the kid?"

[random_xtras]

"They went after everyone at the farm," says Nova from where she's hunkered next to her father and watching everything around them with glazed wonder.

[tf_atalanta]

Ata isn't good with kids, or human medicine, so she won't be much help on that front.

"How bad was it?"

[random_xtras]

"Bad," says Nova, unconsciously leaning against Ironhide in quest of comfort. She's just a sparkling herself.

*Kickback stares and mutters* The nexus is getting invaded by kids. *he blinks* Who? *antenni twitching he humms* Don't think so; most people I know would think she's an experiment. ... *stares at the bits that fall off* ...can i eat that?

[random_xtras]

Nova growls and points what has to be way too much gun for such a small mech. "Slag off, bug brain."

[insect_kickback]

*Kickback actually giggles* Oh my; the little sparkling has a huge gun...actually; where the hell did you get one that big anyhow?

*his antenni twitch as he settles to watch* Anyhow it wont work in the nexus any way; also I don't take kindly to being ordered around.

[random_xtras]

"I don't take kindly to glitch brain @#$%&$ threatening to eat my father." Her optics flash as she takes a protective stance.

She's just been through her world falling apart. Unlike TR3 she's still standing.

"Depends what kind of assistance you need for her," says Iceberg, stepping back to look the Autobot over and get some idea of his damage while Dune Runner darts in closer.

"But we can definitely see about patching you up," the yellow Minicon adds, already pulling tools out of subspace. The guy's missing chunks, Dune Runner knows better than to waste time here.

[random_xtras]

Nova looks at her creator as he fails to respond, then turns back to the two small mechs. "The Bumblebee in the dress healed her. But she's still scared."

Then she frowns and prods the still black bulk. "Dad?"

[no_obstacle]

"It'd help if we could see her," Dune Runner observes snidely, not slowing in the repairs. First things first, seal off the ruptured fuel lines and stop the Primus-damned leaking...

"Scared ain't damaged," Iceberg says, scooting around Ironhide and back. He transmits a damage estimate to Dune Runner, then taps the injured Bulk. "Here, let her down and let's have a look at her."

[random_xtras]

Nova waits a beat, then frowns and gently thumps on Ironhide's shoulder. "Dad?"

No reply.

"Dad??" Fear comes into her voice as she scans him. "No...."
