Well I should be studying for finals but I really don't feel like it….so instead here is another chapter! There will be notes at the bottom as usual.

Enjoy!

~Undercover Discovered~

As Sam slept soundly his grip on the Allspark loosened. His tired body leaned forward slightly, letting the artifact fall forward and tumble down Sideswipes body. Ratchet who was speaking with Sideswipe privately at the moment noticed and caught the artifact easily.

"I never thought he was going to let go of it." Ratchet brought the Allspark to his face. Sideswipe didn't want to know what Ratchet was thinking in that head of his, Ratchet probably had more data on Sam than anyone else on the Earth. The CMO hummed a bit a smile coming to his face before he sub-spaced the cube for later investigation. Sideswipe couldn't help but worry. Whenever Ratchet was happy about something it was because he was learning something new or intriguing and when that happens, he tends to want his "patients" to have more check-ups. In this case all the Autobots became free game as Ratchet's guinea pigs so to speak. And if you ever skipped a check-up may primus have mercy on your spark. Sideswipe reminisced slightly to when Prowl would always avoid Ratchet. It was practically the only rule the security nut breaks.

Speaking of Prowl, Sideswipe wondered when more of the Autobots would arrive. Optimus had sent out a signal to all still online Autobots to come to Earth to regroup, but the chances of them being close enough to intercept the transmission was low. Either way everyone wanted more of their friends around, besides the fact that there was safety in numbers. He vaguely wondered how Sam would react to some of their other comrades. He knew for certain that Red Alert and Bluestreak would certainly be a handful when they came around. However he was more concerned with a certain engineer and inventor, who had the tendency to blow up everything he touched, including himself. Sideswipe mentally made a note to not leave Sam alone with Wheeljack ever, lest there be some damage control later.

While Sideswipes servers were filing through old memories Ratchet took the moment to watch how Sam readjusted himself into a more comfortable sleeping arrangement. He curled closer towards his guardians head. Just when the CMO thought he had figured Sam out he pulled out more surprises and worries for him to handle. Honestly Ratchet was glad to have Sam around since it made his world less monotonous and gave him a reason to learn more on his breaks. But on the flip side this new problem with the Allspark was giving he and Optimus more issues than he would have liked.

The true problem lied with the fact that the Allspark worked alongside with an organic, something that the powerful artifact had never encountered before. Ratchet was so petrified that the Allspark would permanently harm Sam but he hadn't found any proof of that than lingering energies around Sam's body. At first Ratchet didn't put too much thought into it, believing the energy would dissipate in time but the constant energy levels were beginning to trouble him. He was slightly surprised by Optimus' demeanor earlier in the day but whenever he was upset or angry it was usually more directed to himself than any of his officers. Which meant that Optimus knew something that Ratchet didn't; or Optimus was onto something, and he didn't want to divulge the information to him yet? Either way Ratchet was none too pleased.

But Ratchet and everyone else had more to worry about than just Sam. The American government and military were determined to keep them under watch which didn't give them much of a chance to do anything. They were all keeping the Allspark under wraps so that the humans didn't get a hold of the precious metal. Sideswipe had mentioned to them that Sam was wary of his own race and their thirst for power and their general untrustworthiness. Ironhide being the weapon junkie that he is, researched into wars and other major power struggles around the world. Sam wasn't wrong in his fear of his own kind. Humans tended to run into problems all the time. So the Autobots thought it right to hide as much of their technology as possible, not just for their own safety but also for the good of humankind.

Ratchet had his fair share of problems but Sam was more at risk because it was obvious that the military would want to take custody of Sam, if Simmons didn't show that enough. For reasons that everyone didn't want to think about. Ratchet shook his helm trying to get rid of his depressing thoughts. Sideswipe had come out of his reverie a moment before Ratchet had. The two looked at each other knowing that they had both been caught daydreaming.

They both stifled the want to laugh a little. Sam mumbled something incoherent before making a face trying to get comfortable. Ratchet couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the scene. Sideswipe reached up and gently grabbed the little human. Sam didn't seem to be disturbed in the slightest and just pillowed his head on his arms, bringing his knees slightly up.

"Maybe I should put him to bed?" Sideswipe's voice trilled in amusement.

"Maybe." Ratchet concluded while watching Sideswipe walk off to take care of his charge. With Sideswipe gone Ratchet had some researching to do.

Optimus was sitting outside in the sun trying to relax. He knew why Sam liked to be outside, the sun was so warm and comfortable. He rocked on his wheels while thinking about the Allspark. He was glad that they finally retrieved the item but Optimus didn't know at what cost it was bought. Being a Prime had its advantages but also its disadvantages. He immediately knew that the Allspark was not in its original vessel. He could tell from the moment he saw Sam earlier in the day. He had hoped that maybe the Allspark had transferred itself to one of the twins but the more he watched Sam and the way his spark was feeling he had the hunch that Sam actually now contained the Allspark even though he couldn't fathom how his small, fragile body could do such a thing.

He couldn't help but blame himself for Sam's condition and injuries. In truth he was angry at himself, he felt like he had failed at his duty as a Prime. Sam was just as important to him as any of this other soldiers and companions. He only hoped that Ratchet would not press Sam too hard for information, he truly wished that Sam was oblivious to the fact but in reality Sam was very observant. He pleaded that Primus would keep Sam safe from what they could not control. The more Optimus thought about it, everyone probably caught onto what had happened to Sam just because of the energy levels coming from him. And if that didn't catch their suspicions then the pull to Sam would. The Allspark always drew transformers to it, even back on Cybertron, it gave a very calming feeling of reassurance to those who held or was even near the artifact. It created and destroyed life. However being in its presence was so comforting, like a sparkling in its creators arms.

Optimus huffed out of his pipe stacks causing some passing soldiers to jump away from him. The group of men scurried away quickly. Optimus also had to deal with the fact that the American government and military wanted to keep them locked down. In no way did Optimus want to oppress the people of Earth, which he made clear in his earlier meeting; however the humans wouldn't have it. Optimus had never been so distrusted in his entire life cycle. Even Megatron listened to him sometimes even though they were on opposite agendas. Currently he had to agree to their demands, which weren't awful, but they definitely didn't give them much freedom. Optimus had to report daily, they were monitored by camera but Optimus finagled to include their own privacy in the warehouse, and they weren't allowed off base for the time being. The Prime thought it could have been worse but he knew eventually they would want their technology, and that would get ugly quickly. But they would deal with that when it came. Hopefully his next meeting would fare better. Humans were very stubborn but Optimus wasn't too surprised, because so was Sam.

Sam just didn't understand the Essence. He could swear that the thing had the worst mood swings. He knew that he was asleep, weirdly, it almost felt like he was lucid dreaming however he was now concurrently aware that he was sleeping. The Essence seemed to replace Sam's dreams now with only itself. The blue haze swept back and forth in front of him as if teasing him. Sam tried to grab some of it with his hand but the Essence just pooled out from his fist. He literally couldn't hold it unless it wanted to be held.

Sam huffed and lay back, still not used to the black void that surrounded him. However, now that he had more time to watch the pure Allspark energy, he noticed that the Essence seemed to be made up of a bunch of tiny pieces, but he didn't know of what. He tried to relax and connect with the thing he was supposed to now protect and somehow nourish back to its normal capacity. He watched the blue haze zip around the void leaving a glowing trail behind it. He waved his hand through the afterglow, his hand tingling. He watched as his hand was tinged a blue color before it reverted back to its plain tan. Sam felt his hand feeling the lingering warmth that seemed to radiate from the area. He looked back to the Essence that buzzed around him.

"Just how do you do that?" Sam stood up. The Essence bounced up and down, appearing to be laughing at him. "Oh so this is funny, huh? Well let's see about that!" Sam jumped forward, while his target dodged.

If only Sam knew how real that laugh was.

Oo0oO

Lennox looked down at his new phone puzzled. The stupid thing kept buzzing at him incessantly. Really Lennox didn't want to look at thing knowing it was going to get him in trouble eventually. He stuck that label on all alien tech since Mission City. He sighed as he sat on his bunk, he flipped the phone open. Immediately 30 missed calls and an equal number of text messages popped up on the screen.

Bring clothes. Bring clothes.

Bring food. Bring food.

Lennox scrunched in face up looking down at the multiple confusing text messages.

"Where?" Lennox paused a moment, "Who is even able to get messages through the interference we have around base?" He whispered. Lennox could have slapped himself at how obvious the answer was. But he knew the Autobots could speak proper English, so why such elementary sentences? The major sat for a while before deciding to text back.

To where?

Lennox pressed the send button. The screen on the phone turned black before resuming its normal cliché background.

Here. Here. He need. He need…

Lennox sighed as he felt like he was talking with a child. This would take up the time he had to rest that day.

Oo0oO

The Essence watched it's human. The blue haze acutely aware of every move he made, his spark, his intakes—everything. It had learned much from his memory banks, although it found it complicated how the other worked at all. So inefficient, and very fragile. The human, designation Sam, seemed to be incapable to it.

Sam was currently trying to catch it. He did a good job at providing amusement. The human was currently yelling at it to stop. Such a silly idea, to stop. Never in its existence had it ever stopped for anything. Certainly not a human.

However the Essence had to thank the human for waking it from its deep slumber. It supposed it could give the little organic a chance to impress it.

Oo0oO

END.

Oh no the Essence seems to be a bit bratty.

Well I hope you all liked the update, I honestly kind of feel bad for Lennox…

Anyways if you noticed, we're going to have some new arrivals soon!

If there is someone in particular you'd really like to appear, drop a review with your reason and Autobot or Decepticon of choice…I gotta be fair right?

Also I noticed that more of you are sending me PM's. I love them, if you have a specific question feel free to ask!

(I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!)
