Newt continued to listen quietly to the conversations taking place, happy that things were going smoothly. She was of course still very happy that Bloodshock was taking the chance to change himself, but at the moment she decided to let her mind wander from the current subject and drift to the thought of befriending alien robots from outer space. Immediately she was grinning, and thinking of all kinds of different scenarios where these guys could help her and vice versa. She was of course a kid at heart and these kinds of thoughts were no surprise to her. However she turned to look at Bloodshock as he stated it would be easier if they saw his face. She turned to face him as he slowly removed his mask and was shocked to see what was underneath.
To see all of those scars and wounds on his face, it made her heart ache. He really wasn't kidding when he said it was harder to forget. She frowned and looked down at the ground way below her feet, wondering just what he had done to get those kind of battle scars, but she decided it would be best not to ask. That would be like putting salt in a cut, it would only sting more. However she looked back up to Bloodshock and put on a sheepish smile, to keep him from suspecting that she was scared of his face behind the mask.
She turned to look at Wheeljack as he spoke up about getting Bloodshock adjusted to the living quarters. She looked at Wheeljack with a huge grin on his face as he mentioned that Newt could tag along and probably meet some of the other bots. "Really?!" She said with an obvious excited tone and then looked to Optimus as Wheeljack said it required the "big bot's" approval. She really hoped that Optimus would allow it, she was extremely eager to meet the other bots that were present at the base.

Optimus smiled as he watched them but gave a nod to Wheeljack, giving his approval to do so,"Go ahead Wheeljack, I'm sure these two are looking forward for a little tour of the base. Especially Newt." He said with a smile, seeing how excited the teen girl was to see the base and possibly more of the Transformers she was befriending. Optimus was also hoping Bloodshock would be able to adjust to being a Autobot eventually or even stayed with them if he really was planning to turn sides. But for now only time and patience would tell if the decepticon warrior and bounty hunter was true to his word.

Bloodshock nodded slightly at Wheeljack, but smiled as Newt seemed quite excited to join them in taking a look around the base, especially now that Optimus gave his approval of letting them go. Though he had seen their looks when noticing his face, and if they wondered where the scars had come from Bloodshock wouldn't tell unless they inquired about them. There just seemed no reason to speak about it unless someone got curious about it or unless he felt like telling them which wasn't often.
Though on the matter of meeting other Autobots Bloodshock had a split feeling on the matter. For one he was excited and looking forward to it since it might prove to the Autobots that not all decepticons were bad and hopefully he would come across Notitia who he hadn't seen in quite a while. On the other hand he feared meeting a certain other femme and them discovering what had occurred and also running into Sideswipe since their first meeting, the same time he met Notitia, hadn't gone well at all and nearly proved a fight between the two mechs. For now Bloodshock could only pray they didn't run into one another.

Wheeljack smiled then, nodding to Optimus before motioning to Bloodshock to follow him. "So, where do ya wanna go first? Quarters, training range, Energon, or some of the more official areas like where the medbay is or whatnot?" he asked the younger mech, still cradling Newt against his chest. He thought that if Bloodchock wanted to go anywhere in particular, then Wheeljack would give him that option. He glanced down at Newt, thinking he might introduce her to his son later once Bloodshock had settled in, though he was not going to say anything just yet, he didn't want to risk his son with an unknown bot, defector or not.

Newt waited anxiously for Optimus's reply and was overjoyed when he told them to go on ahead and get a tour of the base. "Yay!!" The girl cheered and clapped her hands together, now sitting perfectly up right in Wheeljack's arms looking around anxiously as Bloodshock and Wheeljack began to give Bloodshock a tour of the base. She sat in Wheeljack's arms comfortably, as he asked Bloodshock where he would like to go next. Newt had easily figured out some of the places that Wheeljack said. The quarters were probably the rooms for the bots to stay in, the training field was self-explanatory, and the medbay instantly clicked as something like a hospital to her.
Newt decided to let Bloodshock make the choices on where to go, but couldn't hold her curiousity back towards one of the things that Wheeljack had mentioned. "Whats Energon?" She asked curiously as she glanced up towards the blue and white scientist.

Bloodshock thought for a moment before deciding on a spot,"Training grounds would be great to know then the quarters hall."He said to Wheeljack. Those two were mainly because Bloodshock would likely spend much of his free time in the training grounds while he also needed to at least know where the quarters hall was so he could settle down later on. Though it also gave a chance to likely pass some other places he would need to know if he decided to stick around. Right now though the decision wasn't a final one.
"Energon is what keeps us functioning Newt, it's a type of energy we use that's kind of like our version of food."He answered her question as he looked at her for a moment as they walked before looking forward. But he seemed to have a neutral expression once more, mainly observing the base and making sure to note of where they came from just in case he decided to explore on his own.

Wheeljack nodded at that. "Training grounds it is, then." he replied and started leading Bloodshock towards them. He smiled as the younger mech answered Newt's question, nodding in confirmation of what he had said. As they walked towards the Training Yard, the sound of cannon fire made Wheeljack perk up a bit. "Well, sounds like Ironhide's putting in a bit of training time." he offered cheerfully, though inwardly he was growing more and more concerned. From what Ratchet had told Wheeljack, Ironhide had been growing increasingly irritable towards the end of their search for the Allspark, which seemed to escalate further over the last couple hundred Earth years or so. Ratchet wouldn't say what had triggered it, but the increased irritability had escalated even further, and ever since Barricade had escaped captivity, the old warrior just did not seem like himself at all, growing quiet with his temper barely on a hair trigger as it was.
Something was severely upsetting the Weapons Specialist, and from what Wheeljack could piece together it had something to do with Barricade, a Decepticon scout who had been intense mortal enemies for the entirety of the war, always attacking each other on sight, including the day Barricade was captured and the day he escaped Autobot custody. All Wheeljack could do was hope the burly mech was too preoccupied to care about Bloodshock's presence, though one thing did nag at the Engineer. "Hey, Bloodshock, you don't happen to know Barricade, do you?" he asked, looking over at the younger mech quizzically. "We'd caught him some months ago, held him prisoner in the brig for about a month or so, but he escaped after attacking Ironhide when he tried to bring him up for trial." he added with a shrug, wondering if Barricade had run back to the Decepticons. All Wheeljack knew was Barricade was a prisoner due to stand trial when he made a break for it and had attacked Ironhide in the process, injuring him fairly seriously. He suspected that was why Ironhide seemed so hot under the armor, because a prisoner attacked and disabled him, then escaped.

Newt looked over to Bloodshock as he answered her question about what Energon was. She made sure to listen carefully so she would be able to understand, and besides, if she was going to be hanging out around these guys more often then she'd probably want to know the terms and words they use. "I see, so thats what it is. Kind of a weird name for a food like material, but what can I say? Its not of this planet." She replied with slightly chuckle and shrugged her shoulders before she turned to Wheeljack as he spoke to Bloodshock about the training grounds being their first destination. Newt was eager to see what kind of training these alien robots did, she wondered what they could do, so far it seemed like they could do just about anything.
The young blonde watched the base pass from Wheeljack's arms, trying to take in every sight so that way if she visited them without one of them escorting her around, she'd have a basic idea of where she was going, but she wasn't paying attention all that well. She was still extremely happy and hyper to be in the arms of an alien robot. Whenever the trio approached the training grounds, Newt heard very loud canon firing. She tilted her head at the sound, until Wheeljack said that Ironhide was probably putting in some training time. She tilted her head and looked up to Wheeljack. "Ironhide? Who's Ironhide?" She questioned before she began to look around the training yard curiously, that was until Wheeljack asked if he had known somebody named Barricade.
Once again, the blonde was at a loss for who all these different people being named were, and boy what strange names! Ironhide and now Barricade? It just couldn't get any weirder. She thought to herself, and suppressed a light giggle as she listened to Wheeljack explanation of why Barricade was mentioned. She was actually surprised that the Autobots were going to attempt to put a Decepticon through a regular trial like humans do with criminals. Maybe these Autobots and Decepticons weren't that different from humans after all. Newt turned to look out onto the training yard to see Ironhide off training in the distance, and she wondered just what kind of a personality he had. She was judging just by how much he was shooting that he wasn't the type of guy to mess around with, and perhaps that Barricade fellow put him in a very bad mood after managing to attack him and escape.

Bloodshock followed Wheeljack towards the training yard with Newt, beginning to hear the cannon fire ahead and a little unsettled to know he would be seeing the famous Weapon Specialist, but to avoid showing his unease he merely looked at the others. "I can't say I have, not in person. Seen him around from time to time but mainly I only came in to report or train so I never spoke with Barricade."He answered Wheeljack truthfully, never really having associated himself with the scout.
Having hardly been around the base Bloodshock couldn't even recall ever having allies among the Decepticons, some of them he just couldn't find himself to do so. Many were too aggressive, sadistic, or made him too uneasy that he kept to his field work instead of really trying to make any 'friends'."Where he is now I couldn't even tell you."He added as they came into the training grounds, looking around with a curious gaze but his gaze barely went on Ironhide before he stiffened upon seeing Sideswipe giving some lessons for some soldiers nearby.
It was actually at that moment Sideswipe happen to spot them, about to greet Wheeljack till he realized the mech with him and the human was someone that truly made his energon boil,"YOU! Of all mechs to show his face here!"Sideswipe growled as he met Bloodshock's gaze and sped towards the black mech without warning to strike at him with his blades but Bloodshock was quick to activate his energon powered samuri-styled blades to stop Sideswipe's the two glaring at each other, though Sideswipe's showing a deep anger towards the Decepticon.

Wheeljack blinked and quickly set Newt aside on a platform to free him up to deal with the temperamental blades master, stepping up and shoving the pair apart and hoping they didn't decide to go through him to get at each other. "Stop It! Both Of You! Look, he's not here to start trouble, he's changing sides to be with the bot he loves. Whatever happened between you two, just let it go!" he called to them hoping his raised voice could break through their anger at each other. "Optimus knows he's here, okay? Just calm down!" he added firmly, though he knew he didn't have the rank to give orders. Still, the least he could do was try and keep them from killing each other on sight, anyway.

Ironhide's keen sensors picked up the commotion behind him and he turned around to see what was going on. That was when he saw Sideswipe going after a new mech and Wheeljack trying to get between them. With a heavy snort, he strode over towards the trio, not noticing the little human on the ledge nearby, and let out a deep gravelly baritone bellow. "What The Slag're Ya Fighin' 'Bout?!" That tended to get most mech's attention and was not something Ironhide did very often, unless he had to. He glowered at the trio, his dactyls on his hips, offering a derisive snort at them to show his disaproval of the situation. That was when he saw the scratched and faded Decepticon symbol on the new mech and his optics narrowed dangerously. "Ya better get ta 'xplainin' fast, 'Jack, 'fore I start blowin' holes in some chassis!" he growled darkly as he brought his cannons up to emphasize his point.

Newt was sitting comfortably in Wheeljack's arms, watching Ironhide train from the distance and trying to figure out just what kind of a guy he was. She then looked back up to Bloodshock as he replied to Wheeljack, telling him that he never really associated with Barricade that much. She nodded in acknowledgement, and then began to focus back on Ironhide, gazing around the rest of the training grounds and noticing another robot a distance away. Newt tilted her head, the first thing she noticed about this robot was that he had wheeled feet. The second thing that she noticed, was that the robot had rather large swords on its arms. She was tempted to ask Wheeljack just who the robot, was, but decided against it and simply decided to stick with the mental name she had given him of Stabby McWheeledFeet.
Newt let her gaze drift around the training grounds, not focusing on the bots present, but instead focusing on the training ground that they used. She was fascinated that the training ground was somewhat similar to what a human gun range, with all sorts of random targets to practice shooting at. She was positive that if Wheeljack or Bloodshock were to look at her, she would be glancing around everywhere like a cat focusing on a random shiny orb of light. There was so many different things that she could take in and so many things that were new to the blonde, it was hard to keep her gaze focused on one spot for long. She wasn't paying the least attention to Bloodshock or Wheeljack, until suddenly she heard somebody yell "YOU!" very very loudly.
Newt looked over in the direction to which the voice came from, and it was Stabby McWheelfeet, watching the skating silver mech raise his blades to strike Bloodshock. "Wait!" Newt shouted at the silver mech, but of course he didn't hear. Luckily, Bloodshock was just as quick and managed to activate his own samurai like blades to stop Sideswipe's blade from reaching. She was then hurriedly placed on a platform not too far away from the small skirmish taking place as Wheeljack jumped in and told the both of them to stop what they were doing. Newt simply stood there and watched the scene unfold and listened closely to what was being said, and it was obvious from what Wheeljack said that they needed to let whatever happened between them go. The girl sighed, hoping that was enough to calm the two down, that was until she heard yet another voice.
Newt looked over to see the bot that she assumed to be Ironhide heading straight for them, and when he shouted what they were fighting about. She shuddered as the huge bot approached the trio, and when Ironhide got close enough, Newt took the time to find something to hide behind. She found a rather large pole to hide behind, and peeked her head out to see what was going on and to listen. She watched as Ironhide seemed to give a disgruntled stare at the trio and then threatened that Wheeljack get to speaking otherwise he was going to blow some holes in somebody's chassis. She shivered as the large mech brought up his canons to Bloodshock. "No, no. Don't hurt him..." She said to herself, placing a hand on her mouth to keep herself from screaming out against the other two Autobots. {"I think I came on a very bad day..."}

Sideswipe reluctantly backed off as Wheeljack got between him and Bloodshock and Ironhide bellowing, though his anger was still clear as he glared at Bloodshock, unable to hold back what was bothering him. "The one he loves? The one he loves is my best friend Notitia Wheeljack! The slagger even encountered Ironhide's adoptive daughter, far as I know they got in a bit of a mock fight and he kissed her!" He said without thinking first, the anger blinding his logical thinking and not choosing his words carefully.
What he was angry about though was possibly seeing either one of the femmes he cared for, one like a sister and the other possibly more then friends, killed and all because of this wan-to-be defected con. He didn't believe a single word! Yes, Sideswipe and bloodshock had clashed when he found him and Notitia together but it was in the wide open, for all he knew the Deceptions could have discovered this or it could be a ploy. Though the silver mech too had failed to look at Newt's reaction.

Bloodshock did as told, letting his blades fold parallel along his arms but looked between the two hostile mechs as Ironhide was about ready to blow him to pieces and Sideswipe basically went off on what all had happened. "Look, I did come here on my own free will and choice, one your friend Wheeljack was so kind to offer." He said trying to remain calm, his gaze briefly looking towards Newt as she seemed startled by the sudden change of mood and the last thing he wanted her to see was one of them being blown to pieces.
"And if you two really want a fight let's take it outside, there is a human youngling here and the last thing we need is to be scarring her. I think it's more then enough we've done that to our own sparklings that are so few now don't you think?" He added in a firm tone, now determined to show these mechs he wasn't there to cause anything but crosses his arms."Yes I met Speed Demon, but she didn't seem to understand of leaving someone alone and I do believe she had a slight infatuation with me so I did the first thing I thought to come to mind without hurting after grabbing her door wing, I kissed her to stun her and get away." he told them but didn't quite like the sound of knowing the speedster was the adoptive daughter of the infamous Ironhide.
But once more Sideswipe tried striking out and Bloodshock was quick to back into some shadows, blending in to avoid to strike before reappearing a few feet away,"Don't you think this is a little extreme to not give someone a chance of redemption?"He said, voice still defensive and so was his stance.

Wheeljack blinked in surprise and cringed when Ironhide bellowed "WHAT?!" in response to what Sideswipe said, though he stood his ground as he listened to Blood Shock hoping the temperamental pair would not run him over to get at the young mech. "HOLD IT!" he yelled as loud as he could, then vented trying to keep his composure. "I brought him here, I'm responsible for him. And I brought him to Optimus first and foremost to let him decide what to do with Blood Shock. Okay? Optimus charged me with this and if anything happens, it's on me. I'm the one taking a risk here, and if what he offers is true, we have no reason to deny him. If his Spark calls to Notitia's and her's calls to Blood Shock, forcing them apart will only end up killing them both!" he told them, realizing that to get through to them he had to somehow appeal to their sense of honor and protectiveness of those they cared for. "And killing him will only end up torturing and destroying her. You have to know that. He met Newt and was not only careful with her, he's protecting her. He's not like the other 'Cons, okay? Just give him a chance!" he added, looking from one to the other almost frantically, hoping, praying he could get through their anger and make them listen to reason.
