Surprising visit(Autobots/NEST personnel)

[Deleted]

Rin glanced up at the two mechs, the seriousness in Ironhide's voice making her unsettled at the fact that this wasn't a good sign. Perhaps it wasn't considering the fact it hurt like hell when she transformed unwillingly and resisted it, which a few times she had been successful but not always. Ninety percent of the time she had to deal with the form for a few days at a time before she could concentrate enough to change back to human form and had realized after the first time it was good to have spare clothes handy. And she did, which Sideswipe had in a compartment at the moment from her bag she had left inside his vehicle form.

But as they were walking Rin couldn't resist once again, letting her body having to make that full transformation to her robotic form. It left her clothes pretty much torn and of no use, but it was obvious this was not the first time she had transformed as she already had a vehicle form of a silver motorcycle with black accents, something much similar to her father Sideswipe, something fast and sleek. Not to mention her size seemed to have changed to her being about seven feet five inches tall with a sleek, lean, slender frame for a very small femme transformer compared to most there. Though the biggest relief was the pain was gone but the resistance left her somewhat tired as she leaned against Ironhide's chassis to recover.

[Ironhide]

Ironhide made sure she had room enough to transform comfortably, then once she was in her bot mode, he curled his hands around her firmly to shield her as he headed inside. He was glad to see that Sideswipe was just as concerned, thus following him to the med bay; it made Ironhide feel just that much more pride in his adoptive son knowing he had matured some. Hopefully this was a sign of good things to come for both the young twins.

Once inside the med bay, Ironhide paused and looked around the main infirmary room for the Chief Medical Officer before calling out for him. "RATCHET!" he bellowed with his deep gravely voice. "Ratchet, where are ya? It's important!" He then moved over to one of the examination tables and gently set Rin down there, grabbing a soft blanket which he carefully pulled around her to keep her warm and comfortable. "Dun worry, he's the best medic ever Spawned on Cybertron." he assured her softly with a small smile to reassure her.

[Ratchet]

Of course, Ratchet was in his office, doing a little research on humans again. "Yeah? In my office!" Ratchet called back with a hint of cheer in his tone. Despite the hours he spent in this place, he only truly got grumpy when he got bogged down on more than he could handle, and when the infirmary was filled with Cybertronians and/or humans.

"What's going on?" he asked as he walked out. He glanced at Rin, and raised an optic ridge. "Have we met?"

[Deleted]

Of course Sideswipe was concerned, especially with the young teen being his daughter and again not wanting to only further mess up then he already had. There had been several times already he had been unable to help those he was in charge of or cared for and that was the last thing he ever want to do again. It made Sideswipe cringe on the inside to think of such things again and tried to shake it off, forgetting the fact that Rin too would sense those feelings since the bond was so new.

Though Sideswipe was by now well use to Ironhide's usual bellows, having heard them a great many times back in his younger stages of life around the time he could be classified as a teenager in mental age. But thankfully that didn't happen as often, not unless he and Sunstreaker pulled off a prank. Though his attentions turned to Ratchet when he came out and the silver mech quietly spoke up,"No you've never met her before I don't think Ratchet but this young one is part of the family. She's actually my techno-organic daughter."

[Deleted]

Rin only nodded slightly, sitting down on the examining table and really wondering if her shifting to her robot form was either bad or too early in this stage of her life. Despite the fact of Ironhide trying to be reassuring there was some nervousness with the way he had acted plus her father, although she could have sworn she felt something else from him. Perhaps concern of something else? Or he was afraid of something? Those feelings made Rin glance towards her father, thinking he seemed a little lost in thought but it wasn't long before her attention was drawn back to elsewhere.

Towards the back she saw the large yellow medic, no doubt this being Ratchet who Ironhide had spoken of. She couldn't help faintly think Ratchet of being drawn on by hundreds if not thousands of yellow highlighter markers to have even gotten such a coloration for his main color scheme. Rin was actually trying not to giggle at that thought and quickly bit it back. "No we haven't met yet Ratchet, though Ironhide just told me a little bit about you."Rin said kindly, carefully standing as the blanket rested around her shoulders as she smiled faintly. "My name is Rin Valliere, and as my dad said I'm a techno-organic originally created here at NEST."

[Ironhide]

Ironhide nodded as the pair told Ratchet who she was, then the next order of business was to tell Ratchet what was wrong. "She's still young, Ratchet, prolly too young. She can't control her transforming n it hurts her when she does transform, even Sideswipe can feel it." he informed Ratchet, then added, "She said once she changes, she can't change back fer a few days cause o the shock t' her chassis." It was clear Ironhide was concerned, especially with as protectively hovering over her as he was, carefully rearranging the blanket around her to keep her wrapped up and warm.

[Ratchet]

"Oh really? That is a rare issue? I haven't really studied such issues before, though I have wondered about it...Rin, it is nice to meet you despite your circumstances. May I ask how old you are? A premature transformation - even one that initially occurs just just by a few months could be the probable cause of such issues but I will have to think of a remedy to said issue..." Ratchet was certain she was maybe just a year or more shy of actually being physically ready to transform. Perhaps her body hadn't caught up yet, for some reason he couldn't explain yet.

Just like humans, some Autobots developed faster than others. Put the two completed different races together, and you had the potential for a whole slew of new and strange problems...

[Deleted]

Unfortunately Sideswipe could only stand close by, for once being quite protective and hovering close which was something odd for him. But he had seen her glance towards him and wondered if he accidently let his previous feelings go through their bond, a bond that was relatively new and he would have to lean how to hold them back to prevent her from feeling something else. Not that it happened that often but still. Transformers felt the same emotions as humans, whether it was happiness, anger, sadness, lust, or passion, that could go through bonds or slip right through without someone meaning to. That would certainly be embarrassing and the silver mech made note to be more careful.

Though he quietly listened to Ratchet and Ironhide, shifting his blue optics to his daughter as she began to speak. Unfortunately, this field was not exactly something Sideswipe was knowledgeable on so even he felt helpless to truly help his daughter.

[Deleted]

"It's nice to meet you as well Ratchet,"Rin greeted, grabbing both sides of the blanket to make it more secure and seeing both her father and now adoptive grandfather, in a sense, were hovering protectively. This sudden transformation really had made them worried but she wished there was a way to reassure them she would be alright. "I'm seventeen Ratchet, my transformation happen maybe just a few months after I turned this age upon hitting puberty and the abilities I have over earth manifested four years previously. It's how I discovered what I really am." She explained, wondering if this would be of any use.

Was this too early of a transformation though? Nothing traumatic had happened to her, so she could assume that this might be natural. Yet to hear it was new for Ratchet, or just about new, she knew it was going to be sometime before she could get use to this transformation. At the same time Rin had been having her own theories of why it was like this and thought it might help to give the medic some insight. "Ratchet, I'm not too knowledgeable on the Autobots or what is going on but I have been thinking that maybe my body isn't use to these transformations yet. I mean, it's so new and recent it might not exactly be right off the bat I'd get use to it plus I know with some deep concentration I've been able to change back."She explained a bit more and blushed a bit rubbing the back of her neck. "Although extra clothes seem a requirement."

As embarrassing as that was to confess Rin had learned this lesson the hard way and could see Sideswipe seemed to catch on about the extra clothes this time. She had in fact told him he might find out eventually and that was this reason. "Now you know why I have extra clothes besides the fact of staying a little while."She said to him as the silver mech nodded slightly. Though she showed a reassuring smile to the three mechs, "And you guys don't need to worry too much, I'm certain it will just take time to adapt to this change." But even she had to admit it was wishful thinking and didn't know for sure if her own theory was correct.

[Ironhide]

Ironhide nodded, his hand resting lightly against her back. He had no idea what else he could do except be there for her and his adoptive son. He looked over at Sideswipe then, reaching over with his free hand to rest it on the younger mech's shoulder, hoping to reassure him in spite of his own concerns. He looked to Ratchet then, hoping the CMO would have at least some idea of why it was happening to her.

[Ratchet]

"Rin, in the mean time all I require of you is to pay extra attention to your body. Not to the extreme of a hypochondriac but something equally alert and cautious. If you experience any pain at all, take note and ensure that you don't forget. Look for any recurring symptoms even if they don't always happen in a predictable fashion." Ratchet advised, jotting down a few notes so he wouldn't forget today's discovery. "You should be fine as long as no pain or odd changes to your body occur by any range of discomfort, irritation, or general surprise. I don't think there is much I can do for you at this time, there is no prescription I can give you that can hold back early transformations, but if it becomes a problem I may need to find a way to procure one. Just do let me know how the next transformation goes as soon as possible, alright? As long as you can transform back there shouldn't be any pain and problems."

[Deleted]

Rin nodded as she listened closely to Ratchet, recalling there had been a time or two she had been in pain when trying to stop the transformations. "Only pain I ever experience is when trying to prevent the transformations Ratchet, the first time it happened it scared me to all hell and took me a few good days to revert back." She explained to him, recalling that painful day when she had transformed and shuddered a bit at the fact every time she tried stopping it consciously it always was a painful experience.

She briefly sensed a twing of worry from Sideswipe and looked at her father before stepping forward and resting a hand on his that was resting on the bed. "Dad please don't get yourself too worried, I've come to learn to let the transformations happen and I'm getting a bit better since then. Mean, sure it couldn't have always been easy for you guys when you were, er young." She said, glancing at the three as she tried to imagine how they were. Did transformers even have such a stage as being young?

[Deleted]

Sideswipe glanced at Ironhide when feeling his hand on his shoulder, giving a slight smile to show he was grateful for the comfort but looked back between Ratchet and Rin as they spoke. But at hearing the pain she went through sometimes just to stop the transformations made him quite concerned, never thinking the transformations would be painful the first time around. Though he was surprised when Rin picked up on this, guessing their bond was becoming closer as they continued to spend time together, "Hard not to worry when hearing your kid is in pain. Even Ironhide has gotten worried about me and my brother when we got into trouble." He told her as Rin nodded.

Though he grinned when hearing her uncertainty if they were ever young to which the speedster was quick to answer,"Rin by our standards I'm still kinda young myself. But yes we have an equivalent of a youngling human, we call them sparklings and it does take time for us to learn to transform as well though we also have some good teachers." Sideswipe answered as Rin smiled when hearing this before Sideswipe added, "Though do you even have weapons considering your form?"He inquired, mostly out of curiosity and trying to take his mind off his worry and growing concern.

Rin then smiled at that and set the blanket down, showing she had a vehicle form of a motorcycle, "Of course I do. Though seems I inherited your retractable swords bit too,"She said to him as she ejected blades from her wrists in a similar manor to that of Sideswipe.
