Feedback makes friends. Flames dealt with by the masters of paranoia and fire, Red Alert and Inferno.
It’s not as bad as some people make it out to be. I mean, we’ve all lost things in this war, just because I lost my whole city, it doesn’t mean I’m the only one to suffer. I mean, I lost everything, but then so have so many others. Sunstreaker for instance, lost his livelihood and turned from an artist into one of the fiercest warriors the Autobots have seen.
It’s difficult at times, remembering what I’ve lost. I lost my home, my family, my friends. Everything. The whole city was levelled and there was nothing we could do. I’ll admit I hear their screams in my recharge sometimes. I can see their faces, see their terror, smell the fires. Sometimes, I even wake up screaming myself. But then Smokescreen is there, reassuring me, holding me, reminding me that everything is all right.
Some people might say that me and Smokescreen shouldn’t even be together, that I was naïve and let him ‘ensnare’ me. Truth is, it was probably the other way around. Sure, we had the loss of Praxus in common, but initially, that was about it. Things just… happened, and I’m not going to say I hate the way they turned out. Definitely not. Smokescreen keeps me grounded and I keep him from going off the rails. Sometimes I think that he enjoys having someone to look after. And I certainly don’t mind him looking after me.
It’s different here, but yet there are still some things that are the same. It’s not the same as Praxus, and I don’t think anything could be. But here, with the Autobots, I’ve got something I thought I’d lost. I’ve got a family again. I might not have a home, but they say that home is where your family is. And I know that I’m happy here. With Smokescreen, and with my family.
