😶 Why do you care about Rigel so much? What are your real intentions with him? Or me for that matter?

He is a remarkable youngling. Intelligent, intrepid, brave without being reckless, convicted. There is so much potential and promise in him. ...Even if he were none of those things, I would feel responsible for him. I was the one who enabled him to flee his home universe. Initially, my reason for doing this was to hurt his father. But now that he is gone, I can see the hypocrisy of it all. Rigel can no more help the circumstances of his creation than I can, and he shouldn't be blamed or used for it in any way. He is the future of our race whether he leads it or simply exists.

My intention now is merely to... protect him, and ensure that he is able to have every choice that we never did. I will do everything in my power to ensure that. What was the point of all of that bloodshed if I did any differently?

You... you are someone who has earned my respect, in more ways than I had anticipated. There is no one I would rather entrust with Rigel, and... more than collaborating on his protection, I would like to... Know you better. And allow you the same courtesy.

She’s sitting tucked into a corner, admiring her own reflection, when the ping arrives, and the mirror nearly slips from her servos in shock.

At once she’s pinging back: more than once, even, as over-excited as she is.  Be prepared, child.

Amid the flurry of activity on the Nemesis, the white ship poured through the Space Bridge to come to a rest in the main bay with a hiss of hydraulics.

On an open frequency to any mech that wasn’t in his immediate surroundings , he announced their return:

/:: Blackguard and Rigel are in stable condition. The target has been neutralized. There are no significant injuries. My apologies for acting on my own accord. ::

How could the world be so cruel to a child like you?

She was up late again. Not for the first time.

It wasn’t her thoughts that kept her up late (it was still part of it though), but this strange feeling deep in her chassis. The feeling was a strange one, not something she had felt before, but at the same time there was a sort if familiarity to it as well. Like a distant memory.

At first it was easy to push this feeling off as something from her trauma. But it had been so long since all of that happened, she began to wonder about just what might have been wrong with her.

She had thought of bringing it up with Blackguard or Rigel for a long while. However, she decided against it, not wanting to burden her friends with more of her problems. Hoping that this was something temporary.

How wrong was she.

This feeling only seemed to grow stronger with the passing days, especially after Crossfire landed back on Earth, like she had gotten closer to some source.

Perhaps this had something to do with her carrier.

Blackguard had found him months ago, bringing him onto Crossfire, then the Fermi Solution, and did her best to stabilize the seeker. Starflare had begged to see him, but he was so mangled and damaged the heli refused to let the seekerling see Starscream in such a state. 

She had originally planned to see him at the hospital on Ark’s Cybertron, but so much had happened since then. With the “awakening” of Crossfire, the drama at the Aerie with Blackout and Rigel, she hardly had any cognitive capacity to think about her carrier.

That was, until now.

And so she lay awake, thinking about her carrier, wondering if he was okay. If he was even alive. 

The thought of him being possible dead brought a chill through her core.

No, no. He was alive. He must be.

But the only way to find out was to visit him.
