Michael cradled Anna close to him, giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Energon..." he mused thoughtfully for a moment, thinking back over the fight when he had attacked the smaller mech. Barricade hardly fought back at all, and the more he thought about it, the more he came to realize that Barricade was desperate, probably dying from Energon starvation. He closed his eyes then and hugged Anna to him, deciding to change the subject, though inwardly he began to wonder more than a few possibilities with regard to the Decepticon Scout. If he was so starved and desperate for Energon that he tried to take someone hostage just to get some, then he was likely well out of contact with, or even hiding from the other Decepticons, which meant Ironhide's attack had been not only excessive, but completely out of line. "So, you thinkin' 'bout becomin' an Autobot?" he asked, trying to distract his thoughts towards something more pleasant.
Ironhide himself looked at Speed Demon, easily holding her against his chest. "Ask Anna, I dun mind bein' uncle er even dad ta lil ones who need me. N ya seem ta really need someone like that right now." he responded gently, wanting to reasure her that it really was okay, that he really didn't mind at all if she really needed someone to be there for her. It was one thing he had in common with Wheeljack; Ironhide loved Sparklings and had always had a soft spot for them, though he didn't readilly get too close to most like Wheeljack did. Yet with fewer and fewer of his kind even being alive anymore, Ironhide had come to realize that keeping such a distance from others was no longer an option if they were to survive this war at all. He had to let the others in and take care of them as Wheeljack did.

Sighing a bit in content Anna leaned against her uncle though she took time to answer his question, not so sure if she should answer truthfully or not. Though she listened to the two for a moment before turning her head to look at the speedster,"He would Speed Demon, he's already an uncle to me since I can remember." She said with a soft smile though after time passed she finally gave a small sigh. "And yea Ironhide I've been...thinking of being one of you for a while now. Honestly I sometimes feel I might as well be since half the time I'm on edge with someone trying to capture me thanks to my family being a part in this and I won't lie if there was a way to become a cybertronian I wouldn't hesitate to try." She leane dup then and looked Michael in the eyes,"Truth be told I want to fight, I want to be an Autobot and protect my home." She said in a serious tone.

" I never had a dad before and I do love being with Hide like this. I will go to you Hide when I need or want you." Speed Demon answered not letting go of his fingers. She nuzzled her cheek against his chest happily enjoying the affection he was giving her. Besides she got to hear his spark which was a bonus which kept her calm instead of jumping or racing all over the place. She never stayed still for very long and Hide got her to stay still without forcing her which felt great. Speed Demon knew she could trust him with her life and he would protect and teach her into becoming a warrior like she had to be for now.

Ironhide smiled and looked at the two girls he held in his arms, both his true form and his holoform. "Well, if that's what ya want Anna, who am I ta tell ya no? I'm gonna worry bout ya anyway, ya know that, but ya got every right ta fight fer yer home, n if ya wanna be an Autobot so ya can fight beside me, I'll do what I can ta help ya. N I'll train both o' ya how ta fight n survive against Decepticons, teach ya how ta work together with me n other Autobots. Best way I can keep ya safe n give ya both what ya want really. Dun think yer dad's gonna be keen on ya fightin, Anna, but if we deny ya what ya wanna do, it'll go against everything Autobots've been fightin' fer since the whole slaggin' war stared: the freedom ta chose fer yerselves. It's yer planet, Anna, yer home, ya got every right ta defend it in whatever way ya feel best fer you n yer home. I dunno how ta make ya an Autobot, but I'm sure Ratchet n Wheeljack can make it happen. They're the best at what they do, n when they get together on somethin', ain't no stoppin' em till they get it right, n they usually do get it right too." he assured Anna, including Speed Demon in what he said because she needed proper training too, that much had been made clear to him earlier. Michael smiled at Anna as he held her. "Til then, I can teach ya how ta fight a bot, n ya can help me train Speedy here too. Teach both o' ya how ta defend yerselves at least. That sound good?" he asked.

Anna smiled, at first thinking Ironhide might have gone against such a decision as to wanting to be a transformer. It was her decision and she knew her parents wouldn't be happy about it at first but times like these you had to do what you could to keep what you loved safe. "I've been training with you guys since I was young but I would be more then happy to continue learning 'Hide." She said with a confident nod. With that she hugged her uncle once more, now confident things would play out.

" I do need to learn before coming here I was starting to learn on how to become a sharpshooter but I get bored easily if I have to snipe. I never like to sit still for very long but you somehow managed to do that Hide." Speed Demon laughed knowing she would be a challenge to teach but he must've had a ton of experience to teach anyone into being a warrior. Besides she did want to learn but her attention span said otherwise and she followed that instead of listening to an adult.

Ironhide chuckled and Michael hugged Anna close. "Speedy, I trained a lot o' bots ta fight. Trust me, I can get ya ta settle." he assured her and rubbed her back soothingly as if to demonstrate that point. "'Sides, ye'll grow outa the restlessness, everybot does, some just take a bit longer ta get there." he assured her as he looked out over the water. He remained there with them, talking to them and relaxing for several hours, even offering Speed Demon a bit of a wrestling match and showing her a few tricks she can use against bots bigger and stronger than she was while Michael worked with Anna on some hand to hand techniques over on the grass. He was having fun with these two, enjoying some time to just relax and play a bit, though in the back of his processor his thoughts whirled around Barricade and what had happened earlier, making him wonder what the Decepticon Scout was really up to or if it had really been out of desperation. He would find out soon enough though, so Ironhide waited, letting himself have this diversion for now until it was time for them to attend to other things later that evening.

As Ironhide was working with Speed Demon on how to handle bots and other situations Anna worked with Michael as she had done so several times before. She honestly preferred hand to hand combat, finding it something she could very well excel in more than long range, which her father did quite well in. Though after a while Anna could see it was getting close to evening and she still had yet to inform her father she was even there. “Well say we call it a night huh? Need to tell my dad I’m here, see the others, and get something to eat before you can hear my stomach from Pluto.” She said retrieving her sword.

Speed Demon enjoyed the wrestling match finding it to be fun learning new tricks from Hide. But at the same time he was playing with her which she rarely if ever got to do with anyone. He even managed to make her tired and with her energy that was almost impossible.
" That was a lot of fun Hide you made me tired." She laughed hugging his leg hoping he would pick her up and carry her for a while. She may be to old to be carried like a younger sparkling but she figured he would do it for at least a little while which would make her even happier.

Michael laughed at Anna's comment about her stomach and nodded. "Yeah, that'd probably be a good idea. I think yer dad's over in the south end of base. I'll go with ya if ya want." he said and walked over to her, lightly draping his arm around her shoulders once she had retrieved her stuff.
Ironhide looked down at Speed Demon, laying a hand over her back comfortingly. "Ya really tired huh?" he asked her with a smile. "Yer small enough I could carry ya, but I'll understand if ya'd rather not. Most dun like it, say it's fer Sparklin's." he shrugged and rubbed her back a bit as he watched his holoform move off with Anna, smiling softly to himself.

"Sure, even if it's been a long day I still missed you 'Hide, or heh uncle Michael." Anna said with a wink knowing she often said it when they were just out for a causal drive or sometimes the family went out together. Though she still preferred Ironhide, Uncle, or Uncle 'Hide, or just even 'Hide since she had grown so accustom to it that she often had a slip of the tongue when she should have called him Michael. "I'll never get use to saying your holo-form name Ironhide, too use to hearing your real name it slips out."She said as they headed to the south end of the base.

" I am tired and I do want to be carried. Just happy that you will carry me instead of making me walk." Speed Demon told him leaning more against his leg enjoying the back rub. She let out a happy relaxed sigh and reached up to him while leaning not even wanting to stand on her own. She was just to relaxed and tired to nor did she want to. Besides if Hide was gonna carry her she wasn't gonna pass that up.

Michael smiled at her, nodding a bit. "It's alright. I answer ta either name." he replied casually. He didn't mind so much, though he knew that when they were out in public her father would get a bit antsy if Anna referred to his holoform by his real name instead of Michael. He didn't worry about it as much as Will did though, he just liked spending time with his human family.
Ironhide hooked his hands under her shoulders and picked Speed Demon up, situating her on his left hip with his arm securely locked around her so she could hold onto him and rest her head on his shoulder. She could even fall asleep like that if she wanted and still be perfectly secure and safe in his arms, he made sure of that. He brought his free hand up and lightly touched her cheek. "I gotcha lil Speedy. I promise ya won't fall." he assured her softly, nuzzling his forehead against hers in a gentle gesture of affection. It was how their kind showed gentle affection and how they 'kissed' in a way, very different from how humans did, but no less intimate as their forward sensory array in their foreheads interacted gently, not unlike an exchange of data of sorts, just not conscious data.

Anna smiled a bit as she nodded and looked back at his real form and Speed Demon, smiling a bit at the interaction. "You'd be a great father too Ironhide." She added softly before looking forward and following his holo-form inside well aware his real form would hear the same words.

" I love you Daddy." Speed Demon told him sleepily holding onto Hide. She felt safe and secure with him like a sparkling would with their parent. She rested her head on his shoulder wanting to be as close to him as possible. She didn't know how he would react being called daddy hopefully he wouldn't react to it badly and not mind being called that. But she just felt a connection with him unlike her other caretakers.
