Hidden Spark on Earth II (TFP)

Chapter 4

When Saphira awoke, she was surprised to find herself in a bed. She opened her eyes and sat up, realizing that she was still in the lobby. She was not in her room, which was a relief for her. She smiled to herself and stretched out her arms. She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but she knew she had dreamed of Megatron's voice in her mind. She did not know if that was his actual voice or not, but the words she had heard was comforting to her. She placed her hands on her stomach, rubbing gently as she thought about the unborn growing within her.

"How did you sleep?" She flinched in surprise and looked up to see June walking over to her with a smile, and holding a vial of white energon in her hands. "You slept like a rock, nothing seemed to wake you up."

Saphira reached out for the vial and the woman hands it to her. "Does that mean I've been asleep longer than you had anticipated?" Saphira asked curiously before she began to drink the white energon.

"About...fourteen hours..." Saphira coughed a little in surprise and lowered the vial, looking at June in surprise when she was told how long she had slept. "Yeah, but I think you really needed it. You had been awake for many hours, Saphira. And you went through a lot, your eyes really had big bags underneath them."

Saphira looked at the vial for a moment before moving to stand up. "Did I miss a lot?"

"Not really. Ratchet and Bulkhead were able to locate the space bridge, though." June glanced over to the medic who was putting the coordinates in. "They will not say how they were able to find it though."

Saphira stood up and walked over, sipping the energon as she felt the need to consume it. Ratchet turned his head when he saw her walking over to him and he smiled at her. "It is definitely lucky that you were able to find the space bridge while I was asleep, huh?"

He gave her a nod. "It was indeed, lucky. I am just glad you were not woken by our movements. I see you are looking much better. That sleep really did you some good."

Saphira nodded. "I sure feel like I have slept like a baby. At least I wake up to some good news." Ratchet nodded with a smile, glancing at the monitor as he put the coordinates in.

"Rising and shining I see, Saphira." Saphira turned and smiled when she saw Fowler walking towards her. "I figured I would pop back in after being told the coordinates for the bridge was found. That way I know what is happening, and not kept in the dark."

"That's great." Saphira sniffed suddenly as she caught the smell of food. "What is that?"

Fowler raised an eyebrow and held up a burrito in his hand. "My breakfast burrito. It smells good, don't it?" Saphira nodded with a smile. "And it tastes good too."

June chuckled softly as she saw the hungry look in Saphira's eye. "It's my specialty, Saphira. There's a burrito for you if you want it."

"Please." Saphira looked at the woman with a polite smile. "It smells really good."

"Coming right up!" June turned and walked away to get the burrito for Saphira.

Saphira sipped more of the white energon and looked back at Ratchet. "Where is the space bridge anyway, Ratchet?" She asked curiously.

Ratchet typed on the console and pointed at the monitor. "The decepticon space bridge is located right here. Deep within an energon mine."

Arcee raised an impressed eyebrow as she gazed at the screen. "Adjacent to a raw fuel supply...clever. What's our intel?" Saphira wanted to know that too, as it didn't seem the bots found this information out themselves.

She noticed Ratchet and Bulkhead glancing at each other, hesitating to admit where they got the information. "A...A reliable source." Arcee wasn't convinced, though she did not press the medic for any further information. "So, do we have a consensus?" He gazed at the children and adults listening to him. He watched June give Saphira one of the breakfast burritos the humans had eaten earlier. Saphira had finished the vial already and she dug into the burrito very quickly. Ratchet smiled, glad that she was not hesitating to eat right now.
