edited this heavily this morning. it was actually the raw, unedited fic when i posted it (under heavy stress) last evening. gods, that was embarassing. glad i hadn't cross posted it yet. its much prettier (and freer of spelling errors) today.


It felt strange to constantly feel Gravity’s spark along with his. He liked the sensation, and he loved always knowing if his bondmate was safe or not, but it was strange.

Springer.

Being able to actually talk to her, spark to spark, was probably the strangest sensation of all. It always took him by surprise when she spoke to him that way.

Are you there, lover?

I’m here, he replied. I was just thinking about how strange this still is.

He could feel her amusement through their bond and that was strange too. Well, we’re all in position on this side of the tower. Elita says to tell Ultra Magnus that we can move out whenever you’re all ready.

I’ll tell him. Springer slipped through the troops hidden near the base of Shockwave’s tower looking for his commander. Do you ever feel like we’re being used when they do this?

Why would I? Optimus Prime and Elita did it all the time. So did Ironhide and Chromia. It’s the most secure form of communication we could possibly have, even if we have to relay orders around a bit. Does it bother you?

A little. A bond is supposed to be something special, and our commanders are using it as another tool in the war.

The amusement Gravity had been feeling earlier turned to a concerned sympathy. I can see why you would feel that way. But we both swore to do whatever it took to stop the Decepticons when we joined the Autobots. If that means using our spark-bond to relay communications that Shockwave’s forces can’t intercept, then I’m willing to do it. Aren’t you?

The triple changer’s reply was laced with annoyance—both with himself and the fact that she was right. How do you always manage to make me feel like I’m being the largest aft on the planet?

Femmes are just programmed that way I guess. All her emotional responses seemed to shut off after her reply. Elita-1 wants to know if you’ve relayed the message yet.

I just found him. Springer stopped in front of the acting commander. “Ultra Magnus, Elita-1 reports that her troops are in position. Do you have a reply?”

Ultra Magnus nodded. “Tell them we will move in five joors. That should give both of us time to relay the orders.”

Dutifully, Springer relayed the information to Gravity.

Thank you, lover, she sent back. And Elita-1 says thank you for letting me share you.

Springer felt even more ashamed of his earlier statement.
