Supra sits down on her own hood, crosses her arms over her chest and glares at the floor, cautiously I sit down next to her.
"Dad…I love you, my mom's and big sister Pilot-One even if she is a little slow, but I-I feel so alone here." Supra expresses and starts crying, I start to feel so guilty and my heart aches, I pull her into my arms and run my hands over her hair.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, I never considered how you would feel being the only you…" I murmur to her though it's a lie, as I have considered it a lot actually.
"Liar." Supra murmurs softly.
'The first thing I'll do after this undercover BS is figure out something for Supra so she doesn't feel so lone-ly.' I think and suddenly my hair stands on end and a ripple of something ethereal ripples around Supra and I, then Optimus Prime steps through a slice in reality.
"This is not Cybertron…you are human and you are…" Optimus Prime mutters like he's feeling very lost right now and I'm just staring at him like a total fan boy. This was Bayverse Optimus Prime, and he is standing in my home with a slice through Time Space behind him.
Supra reacts before I do, returning to the rest of her body and then transforming into combat mode, taking a protective/defensive stance in front of me.
"Supra stand down, this is Optimus Prime…leader of the Autobots." I say to her and Supra body language says yeah and?
"You know me Human, might I know your name?" Optimus Prime asks in shock.
"Yeah, I'm Brian O'Connor…Optimus Prime, and this is Supra, my daughter. I built her and gave her life using this." I introduce myself as I walk around Supra's leg and introduce her as well, I can tell Supra is glaring at me angrily.
"By the All-Spark it's a piece of Primus's core…this must be why I was sent to this universe instead of Cybertron's core by Alpha Trion's spirit." Optimus gasps in surprise and kneels down on one knee to get a better look at me and the cube sliver.
"May I, may I hold it?" Optimus asks like a nervous/excited little kid and I set the sliver down in the palm of his massive hand.
"You may have it, whatever energy was left in it was used to breathe life into Supra…" I say to him and Optimus looks reluctant to accept it.
"I only ask one thing in return: allow my daughter to accompany you…there are only humans here…as far as I know, she is alone here and I want her to find happiness that will always elude her if she were to stay here." Saying those words is the hardest thing I've ever had to do but I keep a straight face.
"I will do my best to keep her safe."
"Dad!" Supra yells at me and stares at me with her pretty pink optics filling with a complicated set of emotions, "I want you to be happy sweetheart, find love, get married have babies of your own…our time together was short but I will always love you and you will always be my Princess." I say to her and am scooped up in her arms and hugged against her chest armor as she cries.
"I love you too Daddy." Supra cries softly.
"Now now sweetheart, you remember the synth-en Energon formula and production process?" I ask Supra who nods and sets me down before she subconsciously reaches up to wipe away the coolant leaking from her optic ducts.
"Yes Dad, you made me triple memorize it then memorize it again in case we were ever separated, and I have the backup fabricator in my subspace in case I end up in a place that doesn't have the components needed to make it." Supra says rolling her eyes at me and smiling softly.
"Good, always prepare for the worst Sweetheart, that way if things get bad you're prepared for when shit eventually gets worse." I say to her with a shaky smile as my eyes start to water, this goodbye just feels way too damned permanent.
The slice or fissure in space time starts to vibrate and Optimus Prime makes a noise of concern.
"We must go young Supra." Optimus says to Supra who turns to glare at him before scooping me up again she kisses my cheek, "I love you dad."
"I love you too Princess," I say back to her softly then I turn to Optimus Prime, doing my best to get rid of my fanboy awe. "If something happens to my baby girl, I'll rip a hole in the fabric of reality, come to your universe and slaughter every Transformer regardless of affiliation." I threaten and Optimus chuckles almost fondly.
"From my experience with humans, I would expect no less from a father who loves his progeny. You have my word Brian O'Connor by my spark. I will do my best to keep young Supra safe." Optimus says to me and then he and Supra are walking through the slice in space time.
~~ — — — — — — — — — — ~~
I stand there dead to the world as the slice through space time seals up like it was never there taking my little Princess who I will probably never see again to a new universe.
On autopilot I walk over to Sky, slide into the the driver's seat and leave the warehouse heading to the U.S. Customs operation site in a haze, I sit through the meeting, get my EVO but it all seems so bland right now.
"Yo Bri, what's up with you? It's like when you lost your mom's." Roman asks me out of worry.
"Supra's gone...and I don't think I'll ever be able to see her again." I tell him honestly he knew about Supra and the other weird shit when he pried for answers I only told him and Tej what I could, and that is I got some chance encounters with higher beings that wanted to give out some shit to chase chaos.
Regardless to say both are skeptical and if we hadn't been so close probably would have halled me off to a psych ward and still might.
