“You have a choice, Goldbug. I want you to stay with me but…I know that's not up to me.”
Breakdown explained, holding the new carrier in his arms.
Tears fell from Goldbug's optics as he held the small sparkling closely to his chest.
“She should stay with you…”
“Goldie…”
Breakdown sighed.
“She needs her carrier.”
“I can't leave the Autobots. It's just not an option.”
“Except that it is. We can protect you. He would never get to you as long as you are safe with us.”
Breakdown comforted.
Velocity started chirping and whirling loudly, feeling upset because her carrier was upset as well. Goldbug panicked a bit, not knowing how to calm her down.
Breakdown carefully picked up Velocity in his arms, making shushing sounds to calm her down. The sparkling-sire bond calmed Velocity down when she was in the arms of her sire.
Goldbug only felt more upset at this.
“I can't even take care of her…”
“You're just in a vulnerable state right now…she's only upset because she's worried about her carrier.”
Breakdown explained, carefully giving Velocity back to Goldbug.
“She'll need you. The sparkling-carrier bond isn't like anything else. Nothing compares to it, not even sparkling and sire.”
Goldbug breathed in deeply.
“Alright…I'll go with you.
Goldbug looked down at his sparkling. Their sparkling. This was the creation that they made together. He smiled down at her like she was the only thing in the world right now.
She was beautiful.
