Transformers Fan Fiction ❯ True love of a Family ❯ Chapter 2

[ A - All Readers ]

After 3 day of being in the Med bay under the watchful eye of Ratchet Ruby was finally released. Ratchet helped her down and steadies her as she took her first step on her new robotic legs. After a moment she could walk on her own without Ratchet's help.

“Now I want you to take it easy for the next week and get plenty of rest, got it,” Ratchet ordered.

“Okay,” The five year old said with a smile as she ran out of the Med Bay.

“Kids,” Ratchet said softly amazed at the energy Ruby had.

Ruby ran through the hall until she reached the common room. Most of the Autobots were there talking amongst themselves. Bumblebee was the first to spot Ruby come in.

“Hey Ruby is out,” Bumblebee shouted as he ran up to Ruby to greet her.

The other Autobots came to greet Ruby as well. Slap on the back and excitement was shown and given as the Autobots greet Ruby back into the Autobots ranks.

“You're just a little survivor,” Hound said as he rubbed Ruby's head.

“When Optimus told us what happened, we couldn't believe that you took out Shockwave,” Smokescreen said.

“Shockwave won't be showing his ugly face around here again,” Sunstreaker said.

“That's for sure,” Sideswipe agreed.

“Thanks guys,” Ruby said, “Has anyone seen Optimus?”

“I think he is in his office,” Prowl said, “My guess is that almost losing you really got to him.”

“I go talk to him,” Ruby said as she ran out.

“Don't take to long,” Jazz called after, “We're going to have a celebration party in your honor.”

“Okay,” Ruby said.

Optimus was sitting at his desk trying to get through the days work but his mind kept wondering to Ruby. He couldn't help but think how all of it was his fault. Because of him Ruby was nearly killed in the fight against Shockwave. It was do to the effort of Ratchet and Wheeljack that Ruby is still alive. He won't blame Ruby if she didn't want to speak to him again. Optimus was so deep in thought that he didn't realize that he wasn't alone anymore.

“Helloooooooo,” Ruby said as she waved her hand in front of Optimus' face.

“Ruby!?” Optimus said very surprised.

“Prowl said that I would find you here,” Ruby said as she ran around the desk and hugged Optimus.

“Yes, just getting through today's work,” Optimus said.

He was expecting a different reaction to what happened but was pleased to see that Ruby still had her loving, outgoing, and energetic nature.

“Ruby, I'm… I'm sorry,” Optimus said softly.

“What do you mean, Optimus?' Ruby asked.

“I put your life in danger when I gave you the Creation Matrix,” Optimus explained, “Your safety was my reasonability and I almost lost you.”

Ruby just smiled and hugged Optimus harder.

“Is that all, don't blame yourself for you did what you had to do,” Ruby said, “Just think about what would have happen if you didn't.”

“I guess your right, it would have been very bad,” Optimus said.

“But if it makes you feel better, I forgive you,” Ruby said as she nuzzled Optimus' chest.

Optimus couldn't help but smile under his mask. He was thankful that Ruby was so forgiving and still willing to trust him and the Autobot after all that had happened.

“Come on, Optimus, Jazz is having a celebration party for me,” Ruby said leading Optimus out the room and to the common room.

“Alright I'm coming, I'm coming,” Optimus said allowing Ruby to leading.

Tonight was Ruby's night and the night that Ruby will become a full time Autobot.
