VROOOMM.. Optimus are going to the headquarters, in bus alt mode, alongside with a young female Cybertronian he just found.
“Ratchet, report, I'll be there in 45 minutes, open the base area now.” Optimus reported, on his way to the base with the young Cybertronian on his truck's back.
“Got it.” click.
VROOOMM....
...
They have arrived in the headquarters' basement - where Autobots usually start meetings in.
tap.. tap.. tap..
"Don't worry, my comrades will not hurt you." Optimus smiled convincingly behind his battle mask, his ocean-blue optics crinkling in the corner like a smile.
The young female cybertronian - who seems to be mixed of Autobots and decepticons blood, followed behind him.
"Hm..." She observed, noticing how simple looking the base is.
"Alright, let's get inside, shall we?" He politely guide her inside.
They entered the base — It is neither small, or big, but it could fit many Autobots that ever exist, somehow.
The young cybertronian notices the medical room door open — revealing the doctor - Ratchet, alongside with Wheeljack, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Hound, Crosshairs, Ultra Magnus, Ironhide, Smokescreen, Arcee, Cliffjumper, Jazz, Mirage, Hot Rod, and Whirl.
"Oh, a new member?" Wheeljack immediately notices the young cybertronian who were behind Optimus. Surprisingly, the young cybertronian does not looking nervous, she seems stoic for such young kid. As the Autobots look at her - They notice her similarities to some decepticons. She is much smaller than Optimus, has a grey face plate, Ultra violet helmet that has antenna similar to Optimus and Ultra Magnus', a slim body build that similar to Arcee's, and she has a sandstone orange shade colored eyes.
"This is Roseflame - a former decepticons and the daughter of the decepticons greatest warrior - Eviscerata." Optimus introduces the young cybertronian child, making everyone slightly wary of her status as former decepticons - like Thundercracker and Drift/Deadlock.
"Roseflame, just call me Rose." She crossed her arms
Smokescreen stepped forward.
"Roseflame, huh? Nice to meet you kid," Smokescreen smirked, making the others (especially Ratchet) huffed.
Roseflame rolled her optics at Smokescreen (supposed to be) sarcasm.
"Don't 'kid' me you rookie. You're new either like I am." Roseflame glared at Smokescreen slightly, well it seems the new member doesn't like cocky people - she must've hated Knock Out if that is possible.
Ironhide blinked, glanced at Roseflame with mix of amusement, and shock.
"Primus, where did you even met this kid, Prime?" Ironhide asks to Optimus.
"I don't know either. I just met this kid during my mission against Megatron, Starscream and Knock Out, and found this kid torturing Starscream with- I don't know, an energon fused cannon I think?" Optimus shrugged.
Ratchet laughed in sudden, slapping his knees in laughter.
"Torturing Starscream? HAH! I like this kid already." Ratchet smirked in amusement, making Optimus sighed.
"Alright, Rose... I'm pretty sure you've seen a lot of Autobots here... Let me introduce them to you." Optimus put his servos on his hips, pointing at each Autobots members one by one.
"So, the one who laugh here is Ratchet, our medic. Can be overly protective sometimes but—" "I'M NOT! YOU JUST NEED YOUR DAILY MEDS!" "—he loves to scream and shout. He's the one who make sure all of us didn't do weird slagging stuff- and alive."
"Seems like a grumpy old mech who hasn't got his daily energon shot," Roseflame commented, making some of the Autobots (most audiable is Wheeljack) chuckles and snickered.
"You could say so." Optimus turn around, "And the guy that notices you first is Wheeljack, the scientist, and inventor. He invented all or most of our machines."
"Nice to meet you, Wheeljack."
"You too."
"The guys behind you is Hound, Crosshairs. Besides them, are Drift, and Thundercracker - two former decepticons, just like you." Optimus nodded toward Thundercracker and Drift.
"Right, so you've met my brother, then?"
"Brother?" Thundercracker tilted his head.
"Scytheblood."
Everyone muttered "Oh.." and "slag..." can be heard through the room.
"Oh." Wheeljack realizes, "Knockout's assistant, I presume?"
"Yes, that slagging prickly burnt tomato's assistant."
"—And, Starscream's Conjunx Endura."Not to mention your brother had stalk Starscream years before I quitted." Thundercracker suddenly dropped a huge secret of her brother's, making Roseflame turn around QUICKLY, her stoicism almost faltered.
"His... WHAT." Roseflame took an energon blast cannon from her arm. "And why the hell my idiotic chassis obsessed brother stalk him?"
Everyone PAUSED their conversation, gasps and shocked murmurs and whispers can be heard through the room between them.
"Damn, didn't know Starscream has fetish for syringes." Ironhide commented - followed by both Optimus and Ratchet screams "IRONHIDE"
"Heh, that guy's pervy." Jazz smirked.
"...I regretted join that damn hellish gay hell at the first place." Drift scoffed, and Thundercracker nodded. "Especially Megatron, Sweet lathe of Solus that gay fragging wimp."
"... I was expecting that mention after Starscream has the body pillow of his boyfriend." Bumblebee who were quiet for some moments finally speaks up.
"That place are lands of gays, and obsessive idiots." Arcee huffed. "Not to mention Megatron has the printed picture of commander doing literal everything."
"Okay, I KNOW that pretty well. Enough talking about that wimp." Roseflame raised her hand. "About my work here, I might join as Scout, because I indeed has joined multiple battles once. I may or may not called you with various unpredictable nicknames, so don't expect me to be nice, unless you want me so."
As Roseflame continue to talking to the other Autobots, Optimus can't help but stare at how Roseflame talked like the sparkmate, The Conjunx Endura he used to love so much — Elita one.
...
"Elita..." He murmured softly.
Roseflame noticed the leader of the Autobots distraction and tilted her head.
“Everything's okay, Commander?”
Optimus paused for a moment, then nodded.
“Yeah, definitely. I just... Can't forget something.”
