Ironhide was snarling at Sideswipe's defiance of his orders, but then he stopped cold at the mention of his beloved adopted niece, his cannons lowering a bit as realization hit him that she was still there and in danger if a fight broke out between the much larger mechs. He looked down at her then, his optics finally returning to their normal bright blue again. He was sworn to protect Anna and her family, bound to them through her father, a human soldier who was closer to a brother in Ironhide's optics, and the burly mech had literally watched Anna grow up, even helped raise the young girl, now twenty years old. "Anna, I..." he stammered softly as Sideswipe roughly shoved Barricade away towards the brig. Ironhide closed his optics then and finally knelt down, reaching for the young woman once his cannons had powered down. "I... I'm sorry, Anna. I thought... I thought he was gonna hurt ya." he offered apologetically, looking at her. He would never consciously do anything to hurt her or her family, and though Sarah had been apprehensive of the big black mech at first, Will's assurances and Ironhide's gentleness towards an infant Anna had reassured Sarah and she grew to like Ironhide, the family adopting him as part of their family. All the heavy mech could do now was hope he hadn't destroyed their confidence and trust in him with his actions against Barricade moments ago.

Chasm nodded. "They'll be sore for a while. Try moving them a little to work out some of the soreness. It'll hurt, but it'll work the kinks out quicker." He waited for Speed Demon, figuring that Sideswipe could handle Barricade just fine on his own, and looked over at Ironhide. "we really can't blame you for thinking that, Ironhide." He stated. "You didn't know what he wanted or what he was going to do."

Barricade did not resist when Sideswipe pulled him up, to do so would be breaking his surrender, and most likely guarantee his termination. "Was never expecting a warm welcome." He snorted, allowing himself to be led to the brig. "Kinda surprised that old rust bucket seems to be accepting my surrender, in an amusingly shocked way." Just because he'd surrendered mean he had to cease and desist with his comments.

Anna gave no hesitation as she jumped onto Ironhide's hand and didn't bother waiting for him to pick her up but instead leapt to his shoulder and moved to his neck hugging him the best she could. "Ironhide I know why you were angry, you don't need to apologize for your own reasons. Just he wasn't fighting back so didn't seem fair on your part." She assured him, gently kissing his cheek in affection. She had grown up with Ironhide in their family, he helped raise her, watched her grow into the woman she was now and Anna could never see herself hating Ironhide no matter what. Though she looked at Chasm and Speed Demon then back at Ironhide again. "He wanted to find our stock of energon here, and well he wanted to use me as a hostage in exchange for it." She crossed her arms and shook her head, standing on Ironhide's shoulder now."Remind me to talk to my parents of changing our last name." She said though was half joking.

Sideswipe shook his head,"Your lucky I came to your rescue barricade, and the fact that human you tried to use as a bargaining chip is close to Ironhide and stopped him." He growled back coming to the brig and pushing him in then closed the door, activating the locking mechanism. "Now stay and don't try anything funny." He warned before leaving the brig room to check on things outside once more.

Speed Demon moved her door wings but whimpered they were still painful and sore. That was the setback when it came to them they were so sensitive but still came in handy. Looking at Ironhide she saw him with the human and walked up to him now noticing he was calm and hopefully friendly. From what she heard he was but seeing his temper was something else but it was aimed at Con so he should be cool. The young femme just knew that she could trust him but it depended on how he trusted others to see if they could talk.

Ironhide carefully helped Anna to his shoulder, keeping one hand there to be sure she wouldn't fall as a soft smile crossed his scarred face. He was glad she wasn't mad at him, though he had to chuckle at her comment about changing her family's name. He then looked over to Chasm and Speed Demon, a bit surprised to see them there considering he hadn't noticed them consciously until now. He then shook his head a bit. "Barricade is a selfish and cowardly glitch, he ain't gonna last long in the brig if I got anything ta say about it." He snorted then. "Tryin' ta steal Energon, huh? Guess the rest o the Cons ain't playin' nice no more." he chuckled a bit. "Least he didn't get a chance ta hurt ya, Anna. I'd really have ta tear him actuator from servo fer him if he had." he promised, a visual that would likely send a shudder through most bots.

"Well, he did state that he was alone on this planet. It could be that he's had no contact with any other Decepticons for quite some time." Chasm was in no way trying to defend Barricade, merely pointing out an observation of what he had heard.
He did shudder a bit at Ironhide's talk of what he would have done to Barricade, and started walking towards to base. "I need to write up my patrol report, so I'm going to head back inside."

"Like I was supposed to know that Ironhide was nearby, of would actually attack while I was holding the human." Barricade snorted, letting his arms drop once he was in the cell. "And you're going to have to be more specific on what you deem "funny." I could sit here and tell jokes for a couple hours, or even try to stand on my head." When he heard nothing, he figured that Sideswipe had left, and found a spot in the back of the cell to sit down and rest for a little bit.

Anna did shudder a bit at hearing what ironhide could have done, what he was capable of doing which even scared her a bit. Though she would never admit it. "Look at the bright side though did manage to get a stab at his wires, though sadly I still got some work to do when it comes to Cons, always so damn hard to take down." She said with a slight frown though did see her sword was a little ways from them. Gripping her adoptive Uncle's shoulder she began to climb down and when close enough hopped off Ironhide and retrieved her weapon, sheathing it back on her back as she looked at the others.

" That's just plain scary to hear and from what I saw you would do it. As it was you didn't know I was there and knocked me away." Speed Demon told him with a shudder door wings still sore. But she didn't fear him it was like he was seeing red and just reacted and if it happened to humans it could happen to Cybertronians. Speed Demon didn't even blame the adult mech she jumped in and got whacked which happened in fights.

Ironhide gave Anna an apologetic look and helped her down, then looked over at Speed Demon after watching Chasm walk away. <"Didn't mean ta scare ya, kid."> he offered Chasm softly over the secure com before addressing Speed Demon directly. He then lowered his gaze when she mentioned he had hit her. She was young and relatively untrained, she was only trying to help and didn't deserve to be knocked aside by one of her own kind like that. Ironhide vented a heavy sigh then, reaching over and adjusting one of his cannons idly. "Sorry, Speedy." was all he managed to say to her, feeling rather guilty over the whole altercation. His temper had been touch to deal with before the war as it was, and as the war itself raged on for so many thousands of years, the stress had only made it worse, though his age and experience helped temper his rage some. There were times it simply broke loose, and those times were becoming alarmingly more frequent of late, which bothered the big mech quite a bit.

Anna watched her Uncle's reactions and seeing him idly mess with his cannon was indication he was bothered by this. Deep concern showed on the young woman's face and she came over laying a hand on Ironhide's foot,"Hey 'Hide come it happens, don't get yourself down."She said gently hoping to lift his mood. But she had seen several times how the stress got to him and well many of the older bots seemed to be feeling the stress which was affecting them all. "Hey Ironhide how about a walk? Let yourself relax and see if it helps."She offered.

" It's okay I'm fine just sore." Speed Demon told him getting closer standing on the side Annabelle wasn't hugging his leg. She hoped doing it showed him that she didn't blame and wasn't angry at him for hitting her. She even cuddled into his leg to prove it even more. She didn't know what it would show the much older mech but hopefully it would help him not feel guilty.

Chasm turned his head to look back a bit at Ironhide's comm. <"It really wasn't what you said, Ironhide. I do have work to get done. Besides, I think I'd be more scared if you weren't threatening to rend Decepticons limb from limb."> A slight chuckle followed before Chasm turned back to where he was walking and continued on inside the base.
