Adam was sitting on his bed quietly, still shaking and still trying to get his bearings. He still couldn't believe that just a few hours ago he had been dragged, beaten, and saved from David. All the horror he had gone through was over... So why did he still feel so scared? Well, of course, it was because he had just gone through all of that, but there had to be more reason then one, or at least that's what he figured. "God, I should be happy, calm down Adam, he's gone..." He muttered, almost talking to himself, he shook his head slightly "Just calm down..."

Interceptor walked down the hallways that pushed through the majority of the rooms the humans lived in, and went straight for Adam's room. Once he got to the closed entrance, his bumblebee-sized, bulky silver bot form came to a swift stop and knocked on the door. The bot knew first hand that his adoptive son was recovering from a traumatic experience, and since they weren't being terrorized by any Decepticons right now, he jumped on the opportunity to check and see how Adam was doing."Hey kiddo, you doing okay?"he asked solemnly after he knocked on the door.

Adam jumped slightly, the voice had come from nowhere and he had been spacing. However, the after a moment, the soft voice could belong to only one person: Interceptor. He was pretty sure he had never heard the mech raise his voice to him for that matter. His voice, in reply, was soft and almost pained. He still felt the pain off the bruise on his cheek, and his side which had been hurt badly. "Not really." He said softly, but loud enough to be heard.

Interceptor frowned a bit, worried that even though the nightmares were gone, he'd still be left with a scar, an emotional one. He swore he could already hear it in his voice, and the bot did not like this at all. It made him remember every moment of what happened back there, and proceeded to despise it. [Aquamarine]"Permission to enter?"[/color]he asked, remaining by the door. Interceptor may be random and noisy at times, but he knew people often liked their space, and thus he tried to treat his son with the utmost respect.

Adam heard Interceptor's question, and for a moment he almost said 'no'. He didn't want Interceptor to see how red his eyes were or how much he was shaking. He knew he was worried about him as is, he didn't want to make him any more worried. But another part of him needed Interceptor, if only for just someone to be there to tell him it was going to be alright.
Ultamitelly the words that came out were obvious. He spoke in a way that he hoped didn't sound as shaky as the first time. "I'd really like it if you did." He said softly.

Interceptor opened the door and walked in, sitting cross-legged near Adam since he couldn't sit on his bed (as obviously that bed and frame would be squished). He was silent for a bit, glad that Adam didn't mind his company. He glanced over at him calmly, observing how red his eyes and some of his face and nose looked from crying. "Anything I can do? Anything ya want to talk about?"

Adam looked down at Interceptor calmly, climbing down he positioned himself in the closest thing to his lap that he could. He just needed to be near Interceptor at the moment, maybe it was the bond.... But he just needed to have him near there. He leaned against Interceptor's chestplate calmly, and looked down. "I had such a hard time after that not just because he... Went after me..." He shook his head "I was reminded of how savagely he used to beat my Mom too.... And that was... Really hard considering KARR killed her." He went silent after that, not sure how Interceptor would react.

Interceptor nodded a bit, with a slight frown returning to his metal face."I'm not too surprised KARR killed her, or whorever else in your familt. He really seemed motivated to take the time to 'invest' in you. Thank goodness he didn't get away with it. I hate him even more for doing all this now, and so does KITT. KARR and Goliath have tried to take Cameron from him too..."he clenched a fist briefly, hating the Con each time he thought about him."Now we basically make a hobby out of fighitng them as you can tell since the time you've known me."

Adam nodded quietly, resting his head and snuggling a bit deeper against Interceptor. Just sitting where he was sitting was a comfortable feeling, because he was right there. He didn't understand what it was, but no matter what, whenever Interceptor was there he felt safe and secure, sometimes invincible. "Yeah, I can imagne." He looked up at Interceptor slightly "The only reason I even respected KARR was because he at least treated me better then David did." He shook his head.
"Dad, I'm thinking of changing my last name while we're on the subject." Adam knew it was out in left field, but it had been on his mind since the confrontation "I want to go back to being Adam Carter... I hate carrying that... Bastards name." He commented, looking up at him "Is that possible?" He knew Interceptor probably knew the answer to that, knowing him.
(If you're unsure, yes someone can legally change their last name with parental consent.)

(yep I know.)
Interceptor nodded, lightly patting Adam on the back. "Yes it is, it's as possible as me or KARR adopting you, and legal of course."he replied, the bright aquamarine optics randomly flickering a bit. "We can fill out the paperwork whenever you're ready. It changes nothing on my end since I'm not human. I can completely understand why you'd want to."

(Kk I was just making sure since I was leaving and you couldn't ask me)
Adam smiled that did make him feel a whole lot better. Anytime in the next few days he'd be free of the name 'Stevens' and any ties to David Stevens, who had made his early life a living hell. He sighed, and looked up at his Father silently for a moment before speaking. "That'd make my life a whole lot nicer." He answered, shaking his head, he hugged him gently but let go after a moment. He leaned in again and looked around. "I just wish you had gotten a kid with a whole lot less problems.... I probably just add more stress onto you." He commented in a mutter.
He sighed, then thought for a moment, he hadn't even asked to climb into Interceptor's lap. He thought for a moment, he may as well do so to be sure he was ok with it. "You don't mind me sitting here by the way, do you?" He asked.

"Nah, I don't mind at all. Besides its part of my job too."Interceptor replied with a smile. "If I can't be willing to take the time to comfort you, and be happy that you want it from me, I'm not exactly enjoying being any kind of father."he said, mostly thinking out loud. The bot really did enjoy being a father...he felt like he was doing something worth 'wasting' his life for. Interceptor knew Adam and his partner wouldn't be around forever, but he wasn't going to get all depressed about it now.

Adam blinked at Interceptor, a bit surprised at his words. Actually, in truth he was very surprised. Interceptor liked comforting him? That was something that was a completely new concept to him in all reality. He blinked lightly and looked up. "You mean, you actually enjoy comforting me like this?" He questioned calmly, surprised "I'd think it'd just get irretating after a while." He added.

"Not really,"Interceptor replied."If a parent cant appreciate the simple things regarding parenting, the parent nor the kid will grow as fast. Don't ask how I happened to figure all of this out...it just kind of dawned on me over the last few days. It just develops over time, and it changes you."He shrugged a bit. "I've never had a problem with it, and still don't, I'm the type of bot who appreciates learning from an experience like this."

Adam thought on what Interceptor said for a moment. His Dad did make some excellent points. He thought again as to why it could be, the answer was simple. "I think the reason is because you grow to love the child your parenting." Adam knew it wasn't a well-hidden secret that Interceptor loved him by any means. He told him that frequently, and Adam deffinently returned the love to his Father. "I mean when you grow to love someone like your kid, you have to learn a lot more, right?" He asked curiously.
