Autobot Family

by SanrioAnimaniacs13

1.0 Left on a Doorstep

It was dark and windy outside. The weather report had been wrong; a storm was very much approaching. So far, it was only dark clouds, wind, and thunder. But the chance of rain was evidently 100%.

Within the city of Detroit, many families—human and animal alike—were huddling together in their homes for protection. This same rule applied for a certain kind of family on the farthest side of Detroit. This "family" lived in an old, abandoned power plant. It was shut down years ago and forgotten by all who worked in it.

Just as the rain began to drip, a car pulled up in front of the factory. A man in a fancy white business suit with pink sunglasses and slightly gray hair stepped out of the car. He was followed by a slightly younger man with black hair, dark skin, and a sour-green lab coat. In the younger man's arms, he carried a basket with an orange blanket overtop of a baby. They ran to avoid the rain as best as they could. The younger man placed the basket at the door.

"I assure you, Professor Sumdac," the older man said, "This is the best decision. There is an actual family living here, and they will take much better care of her than you ever could, what with your busy schedule."

"I suppose you are right, Powell," the younger man said. "I…you go back to the car. I will be there in a second."

The older man, Powell, nodded and ran back to the car.

The younger man, Professor Sumdac, pulled two things out of his lab coat. On top of the basket, he placed a stuffed pink rabbit and a note.

"Please," he whispered to the rabbit, as though it were real, "Stay by my daughter's side. You're all she has left of a life that could've been."

He knocked on the door and ran back to the car. The rain masked his tears.

"Come on, Isaac," Powell said. "It's for the best."

Meanwhile, within the building, some of its inhabitants became tense.

"What was that?"

"I don't know."

"Brother, are you thinking it was a human?"

"Maybe so, brother. What do you think it is they are wanting?"

"Is something gonna happen to us?!"

"Calm down, Bumblebee. Blackarachnia and I will take a look."

The door came up like a garage door. Two robots peeked out. The first one was a blue and red male with blue eyes, and resembled a fire truck. The second robot was a spider-like female with a black and purple coloring and red eyes.

"Oh," the spider-bot said in awe, "It's a human protoform."

"I believe the humans call their protoforms babies," said an older bot from inside.

"It seems strange that a human would leave their baby for someone else," said the blue and red bot, carefully picking up the basket.

"Still, she looks so cute. We should take her in, Optimus." the spider-bot said to the blue and red bot.

"Oh no, we are NOT bringing an organic into our base!" the older bot said. "Besides, I'm not going to help you two if you get the crazy idea of raising her."

"Come on, Ratchet! Look, there's even a note." She took the note out of the basket. "It says, 'To whom it may concern, I can no longer take care of this child. I love her very much, but I simply cannot find the time to care for her. Please love her with all your heart and make sure she meets her needs, but don't spoil her. Thank you. P.S., her name is Sari.'"

"Well, if she has nowhere else to go, then I guess we can take her in." Optimus said, nodding.

"You're the best, honey!" Blackarachnia said, planting a smooch on her love's cheek. Ratchet grumbled to himself. Optimus just smiled and followed Blackarachnia back inside.

"Who was it, boss-bot?" asked a large green Autobot. Behind him were twin orange and blue Autobots, two tall ninja-like Autobots, a pink and white bot, and a smaller yellow and black Autobot.

"A human left their child at our home." said Optimus. He held out the basket. "Her name is Sari."

The baby was a girl with dark skin. She clung onto her stuffed rabbit protectively. Her big, adorable maroon eyes looked fearful.

Blackarachnia took the baby out of the basket.

"Don't leak, sweetie," she soothed. "We won't hurt you."

The baby looked around. In her eyes, the scary big monsters suddenly turned into a peaceful, loving family. She cooed.

"Aww, she's kinda cute." said the green bot.

"For a human," added the yellow and black bot.

Blackarachnia cuddled the baby without crushing her to the best of her ability. "I'm Blackarachnia, your mother," she soothed. She held her in front of Optimus. "This is Optimus, your daddy." She gathered the other bots around. "These are your grandparents, Ratchet and Arcee."

"Oh, she's so adorable." Arcee said. "She has the prettiest optics."

"Eyes, dear," Ratchet corrected. He looked at Sari. "You're right though, she really is something."

"And these are your uncles, Prowl and Jazz," BA continued.

"So she's gonna be with us?" Jazz said. "Solid."

"Raising an organic definitely sounds interesting," added Prowl.

"And these are your brothers: Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Jetfire, and Jetstorm."

"Look, brother!" Jetstorm said. "Is real human protoform."

"She is so small, but is having the prettiest optics." Jetfire nodded.

"What did you say her name was?" asked Bumblebee.

"The note said her name was Sari." replied Optimus.

"Weird name," he replied. "But it does have a certain ring to it."
