The long awaited chapter 21 of jack,female style

Don't be afraid to comment about the story both negative and positive feedback is welcomed.

*Previous night*

Ratchet was currently giving June a look over, "She'll all good," Ratchet confirmed. "But, I would recommend that you keep her close for a while, Optimus. Your bond with her used to be extremely powerful, time away has weakened it to a point that it almost broke under pressure of bring it back into full merge. Try to be no more than a hundred meters away."

"I see," Optimus nodded. "I shall stay as close as I can, then." Optimus as normal was composed, his eyes locked on June's form.

Ratchet gave a nod. "She's clear to leave, you can take her if you want."

Knock Out was lightly aware of the conversion in the Autobot's med-bay, as she focused on her twin's repairs, god had those M.E.C.H agents did a number on him. She gave a sigh as she kept working, checking each part of her twin, however at the sound of a voice, she jumped out of her metal.

"Would you like a hand?" The medic, what was her name? Ratchet?

Knock Out looked over at the 'bot, she was aware that Ratchet was born into the high caste and had proper training over it. Knock Out then noted that "If you don't mind going over her, I might have missed something."

Ratchet looked to the medical screens that held scanned date of Breakdown's form. "You seemed to have it all... minus something on her form shifter, it seems to have a high temperature than normal."

"For Breakdown that's normal, she has a glitch in that, she'll to morph to a different form at random to keep the temperature down."

"Why don't you fix it?" Ratchet was surprised at this.

Knock Out seemed to shift a little as she was reconnecting some wires. "I've never worked on a form shifter part before, only theory."

Ratchet frowned at this, at the Medical Academy on Cybertron they had pieces of form shifters for practice, and there was only one Academy. Now that she thought about it, from all other high class families that Ratchet knew studied Medical care. She'd never heard of Knock Out. "You did illegal training." She pieced it together.

Knock Out let out a deep breath, her hands looked like they were shaking. "And what of it? Do you intend to get me charged for it?"

"Oh Please," Knock Out looked at her astound. "Do you see any Cybertron Enforcers here? We're at war, most rules are thrown out by this point." She picked up her tool box, walking over to the other side of "I shall fix the glitch, and then you are to both act as though it was never there. We all have our secrets for reasons, you may keep your story to yourself... for now."

After Breakdown was repaired, he and Knock Out stood in the main room of the base. Listening to Prime about what was to happen next.

"We have decided to allow you to stay here at the base, however if you wish to leave, you may do so." Optimus explained to them.

:What do you think?: Knock Out asked her twin through their bond.

:I don't wish to go back to the 'cons, but I'm not into staying here either.: Breakdown replied.

"If you don't mind Prime, we'll make our leave, you know our signals." They had changed their life signals so the Decepticons were unable to track them, and then gave the new ones to the Autobots. Knock Out then handed a data pad to Optimus. "There are five Decepticon energon mines on that and their locations, if you get anything out of it, please pass some of it our way."

"I shall," Optimus agreed. "Where would you like to be bridged?"

Knock Out paused. Where should they go; she hadn't thought that far ahead.

"Do you know the town Jasper Nevada?" Breakdown was the one to speak.

Optimus paused. "We are familiar with it."

"We'll be there." Knock Out knew what Breakdown was getting at.

"Very well, Ratchet?" Optimus turned to the medic.

"I've got it," The female waved her hand at her leader a bored manner. After the ground bridge was activated, Knock Out and Breakdown were soon just outside Jasper Nevada, they were far enough away so no humans could see them.

"Think she'll be surprised?" Knock Out purred.

"Only if she's there." Breakdown shrugged. "The Autobots might have moved her."

"Well if not, her father garage is big enough for the both of us." Knock Out muttered. "Let's go, Breakdown."

*Current time, 3 days later*

Raf felt like he was over the moon. He had got to meet his mother and another thing was that now he was going to live with her and his real sister. Currently packing his stuff, with Jade's help, he puffed his checks as he tried to pick up one of the larger suitcases.

"Allow me," He looked up to see his father's holoform, giving him a gentle smile. Optimus picked the bag up with ease, making Raf feel a little silly. He received a hand ruffling his hair from the feeling. "Its fine accepted help from others, son. Don't feel silly over the matter."

When he said son, Raf felt his spark swell with pride. He was the son of Optimus Prime and June, and brother to Jade.

He couldn't image anything better, or more terrifying. He had to live up to them, and he would.

Raf walked out with Optimus and Jade as June spoke with Rose.

"Thank you for looking after him, Rose." She smiled.

"You're most welcome, June." Rose smiled. "I hope you find the others as well."

"I will."

Saying 'See you later,' to his adopted family, Raf jumped into Bumblebee's side seat and Bee drove off.

They arrived back at the warehouse, no not warehouse, home, Raf raced Jade upstairs to bedroom.

He dived down onto the bed. "Dibs!"

"No, no." Jade tackled him and the two started to play rough housing. "My bed, mister." She scolded.

Suddenly the blanket beneath them was pulled out, and the two tumbled to the floor. The siblings looked over at the holder of the blanket.

"No, our bed." June winked at the two, Optimus stood behind her, an amused look upon his face.

Raf and Jade looked at each other before grabbing the pillows and charging at their parents.

Sierra unlocked the door to her family's house, after getting a call from police to say that the house had finished being search, Sierra was able to move back in. However, she personal didn't want to. As she remembered what it looked like.

The place was quite well designed, however dust could be seen everywhere, and holes in the walls held spider webs. On the floor, broken beer bottles littered it, as well as empty or half-filled packs of junk food lay around, with ants crawling in and out of them.

Her hand shock as started to turn the handle. Behind her, Diamond stood with some cleaning equipment. He told her, he'd help fix the place up. Bless him, to heart- err... spark?

Suddenly, Diamond's hand covered her own, "Let me," He whispered. Sierra flushed, and nodded. Holding her hand gentle, he turned the nob with it.

As the door swung open, Sierra blinked, wondering if she entered the right house.

The place was clean, or at least half clean, the floor was tidy, the junk removed and the walls still a little dirty but the holes were still there, though it seemed to have some of them patched up. Some dust here and there.

The two teenagers then heard a thump from upstairs, looking at each other, they walked quickly and silently over to the stairs. "Careful," They hear a male voice speak, "We don't want to break anything." Sierra's eyes lit up, a delightful smile filled her face. "Agh! This glue doesn't work."

She ran up the rest of the way, entering her room to see the male holoforms of Knock Out and Breakdown in her room, the two of them sat cross-legged on the floor and seemed to be working on some of her broken deco items that her father had trashed.

"Scrap," Knock Out cursed, trying to put a heart necklace back together. "It's not sticking." The two of them were facing away from the door, so they didn't see Sierra.

"Could turn it into a pair of necklaces." Breakdown suggested. "Like the ones the earth couples wear."

"Hmm... maybe, would need to drill a hole for a hook on this one though." He held up half of the crystal, only to be tackled onto his back by a female figure. "Sierra," He spluttered.

"You seemed surprised." She giggled, hugging him.

Breakdown looked at the pair before looking over at Diamond. Noting the Frost Guardian was glaring heavily at his twin. Ah, so the boy was dating their little human, well this was going to be interesting, he personally wondered when the kid would catch on that they thought of her as just a friend. He then felt smug delight from Knock Out.

Breakdown mentally snorted, that aft, he was all too aware of what was going on, now he was just doing it to mess with the boy.

*Later in the afternoon*

Ratchet in her medbay, giving herself, her daily injection of her special energon mix. The desirer that burned in her mouth slowed. Her shoulders relaxed as she was able to hold her form properly again. "Thank, Primus." She muttered.

"Your systems acting up again?" A voice asked, making Ratchet jump. She turned to see June at the shut door of her medbay.

"My systems will always 'act up'." She retorted. "Shouldn't you be with Optimus? You two have been away from each other so long it may hurt your own systems if you don't stick by each other."

"He's just outside the door." June waved her off. "I wanted to check on how you've been doing?"

"The energon we have right now is fine for making my antidote. But if we don't get more sometime soon…"

"I get it," June finished for her.

Ratchet gave a look of frustration on her face. "I hate it!" She snarled, banging her fist down on the large metal slab she used for a table. Her hand wasn't even dented as she left a handprint in the surface. "Why couldn't I just been born from a normal family?" She then realised what she did. "I needed that." She grumbled, looking at the dent with annoyances written on her face.

A hand touched hers, seeing her old friend looking at her with a smile, Ratchet felt sheepish, a rare thing for her, but June and Optimus always managed to make her feel like that.

"Ratchet you can't help it; your co-creator was a spark-"

"Don't finish that."

June sighed. "Ratchet, understand you are nothing like your family, you are the greatest medic of Cybertron. It is who you are as a person that makes you, not what you are."

Ratchet narrowed her gaze, June had been giving her this lecture, since she found out about it herself. And while it was old and annoying, it always ended up making Ratchet remember that she chose her own fate. Softening her gaze, she looked at her oldest friend. "I've missed you, June." She admitted.

"And I have missed you, my old friend." June nodded in reply. "We'll get through this like we always do, I promise."

"A call for a human saying, June. You sound like a broken record."

"I know, but as we both know, it's true. So another human saying: One step at a time."

"Ha, ha." Was Ratchet's dry laugh.
