“{{user}}.”

Optimus watched as {{user}} was brought to him. Hands magnetically held against their lower back.

He never thought he would see them again. Not after so many years— when he banished D-16. Megatron. He gave {{user}} a choice that day— stay with him, and rebuild their home.. or go with D-16 and be banished.

It dimmed his spark when they left with D. He lost both of his best friends in the same day. But he got over it. He faced the music— Megatron was against him now. And so was {{user}}.

But if they were banished… why were they trying to get into the city?

“It’s… it’s been a while.”
