Magnus heard his older son and said nothing but inwardly knew they were looking out for him, but the pain of not having Andrea there with him still hurt him, {“Oh my love I miss you, I need you, our sons miss you, I do not know how long I can take this emptiness in my spark.”} he said to himself, and to her, hoping that she some how could hear his desperate cry.
Still on his knees he felt his younger son’ arms hug him tightly and he could not help but lean up and hug Richard close to him, he needed it and he knew it, even though it didn’t take away that sadness, it did helped him to cope and keep him together, “I understand my son, but please just let me hold you for a moment,” he responded to him as he let out a trembling sigh. “I know you both are trying to help me, but you know that I need your mother and my spark longs for hers, I do not know how long I can keep this up.” he said as a few tears fell down his cheek, holding his son tighter as he felt his son’s grip get tighter on him. He remained there for a moment just to hold his son in a much needed embrace.

"But Dad, Derrick and I can't lose you too...that's why he's seeking them out. We hope that your brother n the others can help comfort you. Being around your kind could help lift your spirits. Please, hang in there, for us?" Richard was practically begging out of fear and worry. His vision began to shimmer with unwanted tears welling up on his eyelids. "I'm sure it will help you out in the long run and help you get stronger..."

He looked at his son and saw him starting to tear up, “Richard, please my son do not worry about me, I just miss your mother deeply, I would not know what I would do with out you or your brother.” he said as he held his son tightly in his arms, close to his chest and wiping eyes knowing he was on the verge of crying as he kissed his sons forehead. “You best get to work, I will be fine… I plain on washing my true form to pass some of the time before I take a local load into town later.” he finished saying to his son.
Magnus once again knew he had to hold in there a little longer for his two sons, knowing his mate would want him to do that, but in some way he knew she was watching over them, pushing the pain aside once again as he held on to his youngest for a few more moments and then let him go and stood to his feet, helping Richard up as well, “I will try to hold myself together, for as long as I can my son.” he promised him as he knew he had to hold himself together for their sake and his own.

Richard's teary face smiled. He nodded and took a step back. "All right Dad, be safe." he hoped his father would be all right and drive safely later on, he knew stress could do bad things to a person's mind. They couldn't focus and accidents happened quicker. "I'll be home at the usual time, 5:30ish."
//"He knows, bro. He's more relaxed about it now though."\\

Derrick breathed a sigh of relief as he sped down the highway. //"Thanks little brother. I had hoped we wouldn't have to tell him, but at least father has accepted what I have to do for his sake. I just hope he can hold on long enough for me to find the Autobots and bring his brother to him, whoever he is and if he's on Earth."\\ He continued down the road, desperate to get to DC as fast as he dared. //"I love you, father, you know that. I have to do this for you, for all of us... forgive me, please..."\\ he urged Ultra Magnus then, his voice a bit shaky as he spoke over the bond. He had to be certain in his heart that his father would forgive him going against Magnus' insistence that their family remain disconnected from the Autobots and therefore outside of the war. But he would not stop until he found the Autobots, and hopefully his uncle. It was their only hope to save Magnus and keep what remained of their family intact.

Magnus looked at his son, managing a smile, “I will my son, I will and you be careful as well.” he replied to him, giving him yet another tight hug before he headed to the kitchen to get a bite to eat before he went to wash his alt-mode.
While doing this Magnus heard his oldest though there bonded link, // “I understand my son, please keep in contact with me and please be safe.”\\ he said in response Derrick, // “I do forgive you my son, and I love you so, never forget that, you really didn‘t have to do this, but I understand. You and your brother are all I truly have now…”\\ he added after taking a deep breath, thinking of Optimus not really wanting him to know but knew that his son was right, he had not seen his brother in years. Magnus thought to him self not knowing what he would say or do when he met Optimus Prime once again, would he be mad at him for not telling him he was on Earth, he would only wonder…

As predicted it took Derrick a little under two days to get to DC, in fact he actually arrived almost five hours sooner than expected, pulling into DC at just after nine PM local time. From there it took him an hour and a half to actually find the base and scope out a likely spot he could break the perimeter without being noticed, or so he hoped. He waited there, his signals deeply masked like always, watching carefully as guards moved here and there. He saw a couple of oddly out of placed vehicles move across the tarmac and into one of the northern hangars, including a red and blue flame decorated 379 Peterbuilt truck, a white Mustang GT with blue racing stripes, and two newer silver sports cars.
At around midnight, he deactivated his holoform and quietly transformed, remaining crouched where he was before he finally moved out of his concealment and kicked his lithe frame up and over the fence, planting his hand on the top of the fence post for stability as he went over and dropping into a low crouch once his wheeled feet touched ground. He took a quick scan of the area between himself and the hangar directly across from him, expanding his scan to see if he could spot anyone coming before he sprinted across to the hangar wall, transforming as he went. Checking his surroundings again, he tentatively reached out to try and sense where the nearest Autobots were, then moved down to the end of the building and slipped around the darkened corner searching for a way inside.

It had been another rough few days, Sideswipe going thought some withdrawals again but luckily they were becoming less frequent then a few months before. None the less he couldn't sleep, still feeling the affects of one a little while ago and just trying to settle again and recharge. Though it seemed fate still wasn't going to allow it as Sideswipe noticed some movement from across the tarmac, at first he couldn't tell what it was and inwardly perked up to watching for anything or anyone.
After a few minutes he noticed Derrick sneaking around, wondering what the young human could be doing, least who he thought was human it made him a little curious as to why anyone would sneak into a military base. Normally it wasn't that easy but it seemed the human had figured out a way to get around the guards. Quietly rolling forward, careful to not awaken the others he quietly transformed and rolled forward to follow Derrick around the corner and peeked around.
He had to admit for the kid to get this far was pretty good but Sideswipe was a little weary for the unknown civilian, it was time he spoke up and get something straight. "Hey kid."He said loud enough for Derrick to hear but not to awaken his comrades just a short distance away and not aware of what Derrick really was.

Derrick was moving quietly and effectively, looking both casual and a bit sneaky at the same time. He had glanced around briefly, then reached for the door he had found so he could slip inside the building and hopefully locate an Autobot he could try and talk to. Little did he know there was one who was not only watching him sneak around, but was actually following him.
But just as his fingertips touched the door handle, said silver mech called out to him, though not too loudly and Derrick yanked his hand back, then froze in place, startled by the sudden voice behind him. He then let out a bit of a sigh and lowered his head, knowing he had been caught and thinking it was one of the soldiers, he raised up his hands in surrender and slowly turned around, expecting to find a riffle aimed at his chest. He had managed to sneak onto a secure military base after all.
His resigned expression quickly changed to a grin, however, when he saw that instead of a solder, he found himself looking up into the glowing blue optics of a 16 foot tall, wheel footed, silver armored Autobot. He let his hands fall to his sides then and stepped towards the taller mech, his posture clearly relaxed. "Oh, hey there." he offered cheerfully, though not too loudly, knowing Autobots had really sharp hearing as it was and not wanting to draw any more attention to himself than he apparently already had.

Sideswipe seemed to have good timing for just when he called out the young man had froze before turning to face him, and shockingly wasn't scared of him. That was odd but it was odder still of what his response was which made Sideswipe raise his optic ridges for a moment before he spoke,"Er hi."He said at first and rubbed the back of his neck,"There a reason your sneaking in a secure military base kid? Your lucky it wasn't one of the NEST operatives or you would have a gun pointed at your head."He said in a low tone.
Though at this point he really wondered if the base could be considered secure if someone who looked in their twenties could easily get in. "Then again probably not that secure."He added quietly before looking back at Derrick and knelt on one knee while lowering his arm to offer a hand for Derrick to climb onto,"Like I asked what are you doing here and who are you?"He asked quietly once more.

Derrick chuckled a bit at the mech's response, then tilted his head slightly. "Well, actually I was kind of expecting to find a gun pointed at me. Nice to find an Autobot instead, to be honest." he offered with a grin. He walked up to the silver bot and laid his hand on the Autobot's forearm, though he didn't climb onto his hand. Instead he reached up to his sunglasses and pulled them down slightly. "Name's Derrick, though I kind of ended up with the nickname Thunderbolt or T-bolt for short, what's yours?" he asked. "As for why I'm here and how I got through the perimeter, well, that's an easy explanation." he added and he let his signature flicker briefly so the mech could detect it and his eyes flashed a soft blue light for a moment as he looked up at the Autobot fighter over his shades.

Sideswipe looked at Derrick with a slight smile,"Nice to meet you Derrick I'm Sideswipe."He greeted kindly but what Derrick did next was rather surprising when he suddenly flashed his signal and showed his soft glowing eyes, making his own optics widen slightly."Wait a minute your no ordinary human..."He trailed off then, Sideswipe finding it a little hard to believe that this kid might be a techno organic, and if it was a holo-form there would have been a vehicle present right then. "Your a techno organic aren't you Derrick?"He asked as he looked at Derrick once more. Though unknowingly to him someone else was quietly listening in.

Derrick pushed his shades back into place again and nodded. "Yeah, my father's an Autobot. He kinda landed here a while back, fell in love with my mother n they had me n my lil brother after they married. I'm uh, actually hoping to find my dad's brother around here somewhere, if he's even made it to Earth, that is." he shrugged, then shook his head. "He's hurting n needs his brother but wouldn't let us come look for you guys because of the war. He was afraid he'd lose us too. Mom was killed in a wreck three n a half years ago n he's been suffering ever since... We're afraid he's gonna just give up n die..." he added more softly, lowering his gaze a bit and trying to keep his voice steady.

Sideswipe quietly listened, but hearing the last of Derrick's words made his spark hurt to hear of an autobot losing his own spark-mate, which with their kind is how it would be seen. "I'm sorry that happened Derrick and well who is your father? There are many of us who have had brothers and far as I know many have been lost to our war or are just arriving. My own arrived a couple months back."He said knowing it wouldn't be easy before looking toward the red and blue semi truck,"I mean Optimus far as I know has been looking for his brother."He said still keeping his voice low but knew Prime was fast asleep since he had overworked himself again.

Anna knew it was a little late, and that she would have school in the morning but she was bored and couldn't sleep, needing to find something to entertain herself. Sometimes she got bored still, even though she was mellowing out from her younger years she was still restless and hated being cooped up for long periods of time. So that night she was dressed, her sword packed into her bag along her bike, and she was beginning to roll it out to take off while she could before someone noticed.
But as she was getting ready to leave she heard quiet voices outside that attracted her attention. Quietly she sneaked closer, avoiding accidently hitting something on her way and she finally paused when she could make out what they were saying but one she only recognized, knowing Sideswipe's from growing up around him and the other Autobots. But the other male voice was a mystery to her which struck her curiosity as she peeked around the corner slightly, wondering what they were saying since she only caught bits and pieces.
