As Jetfire entered, Shadowflux immediately shot up from his bed, saluting the SIC. However this action was a cause and effect term to sending him right back in the beds' boundaries, wincing at the small aches he still had. Seemed he still had a small time left in the recharge bed. Properly attaching the needed wires, he then looked back to Jetfire and Reno. "At least your condition is safe, Sir." "Optimus!" From the door that broke into the hallway, stood the small, auburn hair colored human from Optimus's past. A rather large smile kept place at her face, despite the bot being in a medical bed. Running up to the large bed, she maneuvered herself to the end, opposite of the energon tanks, and stood on to one of the small one-plate elevators she remembered using so many years ago that helped her and her friends move easily through the base when encountering mech-size furnishings. "Optimus, are you okay?" she asked worriedly, but still holding her smile. His spark was still bright in his opitcs, and that was enough for her to hold her determination. "A...new human?" Shadowflux questioned, observing the girl. True, he had heard Ryan speak of Alexis, but he never seen her in person, or got details of her appearance.

Jetfire nodded, slightly chuckled. "I'm alright, but watch out, or you might not be." Both of them turned at Alexis's arrival. Although he hadn't been around when she was a teenager, he knew her well enough. "Hey, Alexis!"

Optimus chuckled at Jetfire's and Reno's salute to him and he waved it off. "At ease you two, I'm off duty till further notice. Remember? Rodimus is in charge until we are both back on our feet again." He then blinked his optics in mere surprise when he saw Alexis, but that moment quickly passed as she looked into his optics. He couldn't help but let a small smile cross his blue lips in acknowledgement to her welcoming presence. "Alexis, my young friend, it has been a short while since I last time saw you," he said as he gave her a friendly wink and opened his palm out as an invitation for her to get on so that he could see her better from his position. She was quick to not hesitate and she hopped onto his palm before he gently placed her on his criss-cross scarred chest plate, ignoring the shocked stares from everyone at the sight of the sheer ugliness of it. "Do not worry about my condition, I have had better days than this." At the sound of Shadowflux's curiosity and surprise at the presence of one of his old human friends, Optimus turned his head towards the younger mech. He sent him a smile and shook his head. "No, Shadowflux, Alexis is not a new human. She is one of our first of three comrades who befriended us, after we saved them from their first encounter with Megatron 21 Earth years ago," he explained. He then turned to Leohawk, who had still not moved from his position. "Leohawk, I understand your concern for Spirit, but I want you to do me a favour for both me and her."
Leohawk blinked his silver optics and nodded once. "Anything for you, sir," he said quietly.
"I want you to leave for the time being," said Optimus slowly. "Now that Spirit is out of the danger, there is no need for you to be here." He didn't mean to sound so rude to his daughter's trusted bodyguard, but he had a feeling that the gold and silver mech would see right through what he had in mind later when she awoke from her resting slumber.
Leohawk lifted an optic ridge, but he understood why Optimus would request such a thing. He bowed to the elder Prime and slowly turned to leave before switching to his griffin form. He stopped once and glanced over his shoulder at the group and Optimus himself. "Now that you are awake, sir, I will go and find your brother. I'm sure he'd want to hear about you being home safe and sound." Without bothering to wait for an answer, he disappeared out the door.

"Hey, Alexis. Long time no see." Talon chuckled softly, waving to the human, "Are the others here too?"
Nightwise let out an excited hoot and fluttered over to Optimus, hopping onto his chest to get a head pat from Alexis. Talon rolled her optics but giggled anyways.

Alexis simply nodded as Optimus gave her the update of his condition. Still the same fatherly spirit from when she was a simple child. Looking over to Jetfire and Talon, she let off a joyful laugh then waved, "Hey guys! Its' been so long, I thought I'd never get to be here again after Kicker and his dad dismissed the project." Looking at Talon in particular, she lightly shook her head, "And no, sadly I couldn't get in contact with Rad. And you know how Carlos is... But, Ryan and this strange boy are outside the base with a bot named Cypher." She smiled yet again, the base felt like a second home to her already. Taking notice of the two bots she had not been familiar with, that of Reno and Shadowflux, she sat upon Optimus's chest and let her legs float off the side. "Nice to meet you two" she grinned, giving a small tilt of the head along with a wrist wave. Shadowflux was shocked by the girls' enthusiasm. He never seen Ryan with such happy emotion before. "Nice to meet you, Alexis. Ryan talks alot about you."

"That's a shame." Talon sighed heavily, "I was looking forward to seeing the whole gang again after so long. I just hope Cypher didn't blow anything up while I was out...and who's this strange boy?"

"I'm not completely sure... his name is Faye, about the same height as Ryan and has blue spikey hair. He seems to be a friend of his but... I don't know, he just doesn't fit with me..." Alexis explained, a bit confused herself on how to explain the boy.

"You might not want to let him in the base then." Talon pointed out, "Remember how serious Prime was about telling other humans about this place? He had a good reason for it. A lot of humans would still want to take advantage of us Transformers for their own needs."

Reno nodded to Alexis, she didn't seem as nervous as she was earlier, when she first arrived. "It's nice to meet you, too, Alexis."

"Hm?" Alexis turned to find the boy looking at her, repeating the name. "Do you know of Faye?" she asked softly, a small smile to the boy. Though her curiosity was of his appearance, she was even more curious of if he knew who Faye was, other than just a spikey headed kid.

Optimus lifted an optic ridge at the mention of the name of Ryan's new friend. He knew that he had strickly given that rule as to not allow any other humans of their existance. Not unless the ones you trusted the most with the secret would be able to see them. However, some humans could never be trusted because of what their true intentions were. Experiements on the Transformers is what he feared the most. "And I am still serious about it," Optimus finally spoke up. He may have allowed Rad, Carlos, Alexis, Kicker, Coby, Bud, and Lori to bring in the few friends that could be entrusted with the Transformers' existance, but he would not permit any more humans knowing. It was far too dangerous, and their secret war was beginning anew once again. He was startled when Reaper spoke up and mentioned Faye's name. Yes, there was something indeed going on and Optimus was determined to find out how and wonder why. "Where's Rodimus?" he asked. "He told me that he has seen Faye before but wasn't sure what to believe, especially when he told me he saw someone with him. Someone... we've rarely seen."
Spiritimus stirred and opened a sleepy optic. She had detected the worry in her father's systems and was determined to find out what was wrong with him. When she heard the mention of Rodimus's name, she knew instantly that something was up. Flexing her wings, she sat up and glanced into everyone's eyes and optics, blinking her golden ones as she swept her head across the room. "I do believe," she said tiredly, "that Rodimus is outside the base with his companion, Moonshriek. He went to go have some alone time with her before he decides to take full charge of the Autobot base and the rest of the cause. However, I have a feeling that they have been caught up in something. Not a fight or anything like that, just a coincidence. Maybe someone should go out there and bring them inside so that Jetfire can talk with him, maybe possibly get information from him on what he had seen."

Alexis frowned as she turned back to Optimus, hearing him restate his rules around the base. "I told Ryan that, but he doesn't listen... I'm sorry Optimus" she apologized for the boys' arrogance. If there had been someone more stubborn than Kicker, it was obviously Ryan. Switching around in his bed, he couldn't stand staying still any longer. His own energon pipes could heal whatever wounds that were left. Removing the wires yet again, Shadowflux slipped off his bedding and stretched, then turned to Spiritimus and saluted. "I will go find Rodimus, Lady Spiritimus. I will also go find Ryan and forbid him of bringing his friend, Sir" he glanced at the two Prime leaders. Looking at Alexis, he gave a small nod to dismiss himself, then left out the door without another word.

hearing optimus state the rules confirmed that what he thought already, his staying here was not overly welcome. he looked back to Alexis, not returning the smile. "....Met Faye in the...." paused for a second "the Forest. Cyborg. Moon..Shriek, dosen't ....Trust him." he thought about his own opinion of Faye "annoying ChilD..." was all he could think of him from there first meeting. he didn't care for all the infomation he slyly gave, nor his sneaking up on them. "Hhhhnh" he left out the information about him being suspected of working with the decepticons, such things things didn't really matter to him.

Optimus nodded gently towards Alexis. There were some people that had to learn things the hard way, even if it meant for them to get into situations that are too tough for them to handle and be bailed out by someone who had warned them in the first place. "It's understandable, Alexis," he said softly. "We'll just have to keep a close eye on this... Faye... Reaper spoke of. He is not to be trusted until we can confirm our suspicions on whether or not he is worthy of knowing where our base is. As far as I can tell, Ryan will have to learn the hard way eventually." He lowered his head and sighed gently. "I am not his father and I cannot tell him what to do, but he must learn to accept my choices even if he thinks he's not jeopardizing our location," he explained calmly. "As a father and leader, I feel that it is my responsibility to protect my children and everyone I care about, even if it means sacrificing my life like I did before." Even though he didn't want to remember that horrifying day, he knew that what he said was true. Like he did with the Hydra Cannon 21 years ago, he would be willing to give up his life to defend the ones he loved the most. He nodded towards Reaper as he gently placed a hand on Alexis's back and stroked her with a finger. "Yes," he agreed, "I have a feeling that Moonshriek may be connected with Faye in some way. I know I shouldn't rush things or anything, but we should question her on what she knows. Perhaps she may confirm our suspicions... However, I have a feeling that it may be difficult, seeing as how she doesn't trust us. She seems to be more comfortable with Rodimus around."
Spiritimus listened quietly. Her facial expression was once again unreadable as she thought about what Optimus had said. She remembered Rodimus mentioning something about seeing two figures before he had met up with Moonshriek, but then had disappeared before he could get a proper reading. This worried her a little, but she had a feeling that something was wrong. Slightly, she lifted her head and sniffed the air a little, as if she was trying to detect a scent in the air that only she could sense. She took a few deep whiffs, closing her optics as she did so to concentrate. Without the Matrix, she was unable to connect and detect the movements of her counterpart, the only thing she could do was listen and feel with her Spark. Now that Rodimus had the Matrix, she was well aware that he may be very vulnerable to his false visions and his sneering lies that he would send through their connection. It was as if the Matrix had become their own enemy, and the only way to break off that connection was for her or Nephthys to die. It was either sacrifice or destruction. "It seems like there is so few in the world we can trust," she said quietly. "Betrayal, hatred, and fear lies around every corner we turn, no matter what we do. It's as if Primus is putting us to the ultimate test without us realising it."
