    Summary

    Fifteen minutes. He kept shifting restlessly. Every so often he reconfigured the armor plating, adjusted the berth’s temperature settings, even switched to background diagnostics. But in Optimus’ absence the silence rang — like a vague alarm, like the suspended seconds just before an emergency signal activates. It pressed against his secondary sensors, as though the quarters were too large; or he himself was too small, too insignificant to truly relax his heavies here.
    When Ratchet, in frustration, was already on the verge of getting up, footsteps sounded beyond the door — slow, resonant and measured. Prime entered as he always did, without unnecessary noise, yet with such a tangible sense of presence that the very air in the room seemed to grow denser.
    Ratchet didn’t activate his optics, but he thoroughly traced his sparkmate with close-range scanners and grumbled:
    “I was beginning to think you’d decided not to recharge at all tonight”.

    Summary

    “Just so you know, I understand perfectly well what you’re doing,” Ratchet muttered, bracing one servo against the Prime’s broad chassis and absently pressing his fingers to his emergency-access neck port.
    “Apparently, I’m violating protocol once again.”
    The medic frowned, his optics flashing tensely, and the EM-field tightened, resonating with cautious notes. But there was no cause for concern; Optimus knew that expression on his faceplate well — not irritation, but fierce concentration. Finally, Ratchet looked back at his sparkmate and raised his optic ridges:
    “Ultra Magnus…?” Optimus responded with a gentle smile instead of an answer, and the medic snorted quietly, clarifying: “Alright, what did he find? Overdue reports? A mess in the suites? Someone’s blaster left in the mess hall?”
    “You underestimate the scale of the disaster, my friend.”

    Summary

    Bruce makes the Justice League believe he has two hearts and is a manifestation of Gotham’s night to throw them off his secret identity, not trusting them. When the sound system breaks, he doesn’t come clean, but lies instead that he split into two to make Robin. From there it spirals as all the Robins make the lies grow and twist it in their own ways, until the truth comes out.

    Summary

    In an attempt to avoid a trap laid by Decepticon forces, Bumblebee accidentally triggers an incident in the groundbridge, where he's the only victim.

    At least, that's what it seems like. But some things may not be as accidental as they first appear.
