This post gets a D. I fail!!!
Optimus looked at his son. All techno organics were in trouble, Sam and Chris especially. And the fact that they were on the Autobot side, that meant that he would protect them. At Chris's question, he nodded. "I'm not sure what their intintions are, but knowing Megatron, it's probably gonna help him conquer Cybertron, or get another power source." He sighed.
Chris asked another question, and Optimus shook his head. "There is nothing you can do other than stay safe."

"Of course, should have seen that coming." Chris commented, regarding the second statement "After all, a kid only turning 18 in a few weeks can't do much against giant robots." He chuckled a bit, looking up at Optimus, this was slightly akward. Especially considering when he was young he had felt abandoned by his Father. However, not when he got older, considering he knew and understood Optimus's reasoning. "You know, it's good to see you again... I missed you." He bit his lip, it sounded so cheesy and cliche, but it was the truth.

Autobot leader or not, everyone knew what it was like to feel hopeless. Everyone experienced it in their life sooner or later. "Chris, I know how you feel about not being able to help. Everyone does. But that's just how things work. Sometimes it doesn't make sense, but that's the way everything works." Optimus sighed.
When Chris mentioned he missed his father, Optimus smiled slightly. "I've missed you and your brother also. I did what I thought was best for your future, but I'm glad to see you again, although not under these circumstances." There was nothing more powerful than a family's love, and for that bond to be tangled with was something that only someone who doesn't care would do. When a father learns his son's life has been threatened, they'd risk their life to save their son's. It was a sacrifice any parent would make. |

"I know, you'd probably have prefered to have seen me at some point when things were peaceful." Chris commented, smiling slightly "If it's any consent, I did see you in person once before. Other then at the basketball games." He smirked a bit "I was at Mission City. I would have shouted out something.. But of course you were at 'work'." He joked.
The comment was truthful, he had been at Mission City that day four years ago. He had caught a brief glimpse of Optimus fighting off Megatron, but not for very long. Of course, he had been caught up in the chaos and had been forced to run away by his Uncle.

A sigh engulfed the body of Optimus, shaking his chest as it did when he transformed that first time in front of Sam. The first official Autobot meeting whithin the atmosphere of Earth. "Peace is the wish of every being who has seen war." Staring at the sky, his listened as Chris spoke on, talking about seeing him before. His interest sparked, he turned his gaze down to his son once more. "You are a good basketball player, I'll give you that." Then, about Mission City. He remembered the even as if it happened weeks before instead of years. "Well, that wasn't a peaceful time either. Peaceful would be here, where no Decepticons reside to attack."
It seemed as if time had a way of wanting the 'bad guys' to win, because this would be the third time Megatron showed up. Sam had killed him the first time, he had fled the second time, and now, he had more recruits, but so did Optimus. The two seemed as if a never ending battle was happening, because indeed, it seemed as if that was the case. Not the best case in the world.

Chris nodded calmly, listening to everything Optimus had to say. Chris sometimes had a rebellious attitude, but he had always listened to his Dad. For the most part, without zoneing in or out. "Yeah, well I take after you. As team captain, I guess you could say, I'm a leader too." He commented, regarding basketball "I'm nowhere near the leader you are though, I guess I just take after you slightly in that sense."

Freedom was often overlooked by the ones who had it since birth. Men died every day just to keep it that way. Well, now the fate of not only America, but all the countries layed on the shoulders of one bot. It was a lot to take in, even for Optimus. A visit with his son was one of the few things that made that burdon lift, if only for a few minutes.
A smile crossed his face. "You have much to learn, my son." Shaking his head slightly, the Autobot chuckled. "Small steps are the best. You have to take it one step at a time. You have a bright future ahead of you." |

"Hopefully that bright future includes a fully-paid scholarship to MIT." Chris commented, it was true, it was his dream school. Though Turnberry was his second choice if that didn't work out. He sighed as he heard his phone ring and opened it.
"Hello? Oh hey Uncle Richard... Oh yeah, I was just with..." he looked up at Optimus then hesitated before admitting it "I was just with Dad... Yeah, he's really here. Ok I'll be right home, don't let dinner go cold on me. Love you too." He turned his gaze up to Optimus again "I got to get home, Uncle Richard brought pizza home, and it ges cold fast."

"Well then, if you want this fully paid scolar, than study hard. But I know you can do it." He gave Chris an encouraging nod, and heard a different sound. Looking around, he felt lost. Then, the sound stopped, and he saw Chris with a cell phone to his ear. Great. It was just a phone.
As Chris spoke, he could only hear his side of the explanation, but by the sounds of it, Chris needed to leave. And Chris said so himself. Nodding, he transformed, his gears clicking as he did so. A voice over the radio came in. His own. "Ok, get in." Opening the door, he waited for Chris to climb in. |

Chris nodded, getting inside. He was still slighly surprised an hour and a half had passed. But then again, moments like these did seem to go by pretty fast. Especially it being something like this. "I'm really sorry we had to cut this short Dad." He commented "Given the choice, we'd have been out there all night." He chuckled.

Yay! I fail at posting with short replies!
Optimus pulled out of the grass, and waited for a few cars to go before allowing himself out from the parking lot. On the highway, he sped up, and listened as Chris spoke. "Don't worry about it, Son. A meeting is a meeting, whether cut short or not. It was nice seeing you again." Turning a corner, he replied to Chris's second comment. "Well, I'm sure we would have, but sadly, things don't always come out the way we want them to." |

"True, and maybe I'll come by and see you at NEST sometime." Chris thought that over, of course, he'd need a car first to drive there. And it couldn't be that often considering, according to Mikaela it was in New Jeresy, at least a days drive. "Though I'm going to need to get a car first I suppose. Or save up money for a plane ticket"
He knew it wouldn't be too long now before they arrived at his home, so he savored the few moments he had left for the moment with Optimus. He leaned back in the seat and smiled a bit. Resting his eyes for a moment. "Though you can come and visit any time Dad... Uncle Richard won't mind." He added.

A+ for sucky posts
Optimus would have smiled, if he wasn't in his pertebilt mode at the moment. "The Autobots and NEST would like that. And bring David if you can." Driving, he slowed as they neared the house. "No need, I or one of the Autobots would take you down there." When he got back to NEST, he'd assign Sideswipe as Chris's bodyguard. Chris would be getting a car sooner than he'd expect.
He turned on the street where Chris lived, and deliberately slowed down, slower than what'd he would normally drive. "I'll visit when I can, I promise you that." |

"I will." Chris felt Optimus slow to a stop, and calmly, got out of the truck "That'd be nice." He commented regarding the getting a ride. He sighed, and looked both ways before rubbing his Father's hood. "You take care of yourself ok? Love you Dad." He said calmly. And with this, he calmly made his way to the front door, opening it with his key. He gave a small wave before entering the home.

Optimus opened the door, and watched as Chris climbed out. His engine seemed to purr as Optimus replied the only way he could think to. When Chris rubbed his hood, Optimus remembered how Bumblebee had communicated. He played one of Nickelback's new songs from his album, I'd Come for You.
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in mae
No matter what, remember
You know I'll always come for you
The song slowly died out as Optimus pulled out of the driveway, and down the road. He headed back to NEST, where the other Autobots were starting to to worry about where their leader had disapeared off to. If any jumped to conclusions, then they'd possibly think he had been attacked by Decepticons. |
