(Before Transformers 4. Filler chapter)

Summary: As you grew older, you started to understand why your Autobot family had to remain in hiding. You hadn't seen Optimus ever since he was ambushed by humans, for now, you remain with Bumblebee.

It had been a few years now that you had been with your metal family.

As you got older you started to understand and realise that there was a reason you all had to remain in hiding.

From what you've overheard from time to time, there was an incident in Chicago that had forced all Autobots to remain in hiding.

"Hi sisters-!" You thoughts were interrupted when you saw Bumblebee approaching you.

(Not me adding a meme)

"What's up, Bee?" You grinned and looked up at him. You couldn't help but notice that his radio sounded weird.

Bumblebee bent down to your level and gave you a frustrated look. "My...voice...the radio it's-....." Then, it was as if the radio completely stopped working.

"Again? Seriously, it's like these things don't even last long." You sighed and shook your head. This wasn't the first time you had to replace or fix Bumblebee's radio.

The autobot shrugged as if it wasn't his fault. You facepalmed before speaking, "Bro, you know I got no money, no education. Nada! It's hard for me to steal a radio out of a car everytime this happens."

You will admit, having no actual home or what is considered a "normal life" did make you feel left out and sad sometimes.

Bumblebee ruffled your hair with one of his digits as if to comfort you. You giggled before playfully slapping his servo away.

"Alright, alright. This is the last time I'm stealing from someone's car. After this, you're on your own, Bee."

Bumblebee nodded happily before transforming into his alt form.

You sighed and shook your head. "Sorry, bro. Not this time. Can't risk humans knowing about you. Remember what happened to papa...?" You mumbled the last part sadly.

Bumblebee immediately transformed back. You put your hands on his face plate. He gave you a sad look, he knew how much Optimus ment to you. No one really knows if he's still alive or not but everyone was hoping for the best.

"Anyways!" You smiled, "Stay here. I mean it, Bumblebee. Stay put. Got it?"

Bumblebee made gestures like he wanted to argue but with his radio broken, he couldn't say anything so he slowly nodded after a few seconds.

You had been walking towards a small town for about five minutes now. In the distance, you couldn't help but notice that there was a vehicle and a few girls on the side of the road.

Had their vehicle broken down?

"Uh... You guys need some help or something?" You asked as you approached them. The girls were slightly shaken to see you, it was as if you appeared out of nowhere to them. To them, it was odd that a kid younger than them just appeared.

"Huh? Oh, hey. Unless you know how to fix my friend's vehicle." A blonde girl replied.

"I can fix it in five minutes!" You grinned.

And so you did. The benefits of having a metal family who can turn into vehicles.

When they asked how to repay you, you just asked them for a radio for a car in a joking manner.

"Lucky you. I'm sure my dad has one in his barn full of junk. I'm Tessa by the way." The blond from earlier smiled.

"[Name]." You grinned, "You're a life saver. I really need that radio."

At least now wouldn't have to break into someone's vehicle and steal one.

"Dad!!" You heard Tessa yell as you walked behind her. Her house was honestly pretty nice in your opinion.

"Ugh, he's probably in the barn. Come on." Tessa motioned for you to follow her. While you were walking toward the barn, you cringed when you saw something that looked like it was supposed to be a robot security dog or something.

When Tessa opened the barn door, you saw a guy putting out a fire with a fire extinguisher, that must be her dad-

"What a first impression," You snickered.

You heard him groan in frustration before he turned to you and Tessa. "Oh, Tess, hey. Is this uh... one of your friends?" He spoke.

You were younger than Tessa by probably 3-4 years.

"Yeah. I owe her a favor; she just wants a car radio. I figured that you might have one in the bar." Tessa nodded.

"Okay. Hey, kid. I'm Cade Yeager."

"[Name]."

"So... what do you do exactly, Cade?" You asked as you looked around the bar, there was a lot of "junk".

"I'm an inventer." Cade said as he looked around fora car radio.

"He uses junk to invent more junk." Tessa carelessly dumped stuff on the ground as she helped her dad search.

"Hey! We do not use the J word in this household."

"Your dad's got a point, Tessa. Besides, most of this stuff is actually useful when you know what to do with it or how to use it." You smiled once you found what you were looking for.

"Thank you! See? She gets it, Tess." Cade was kinda happy to know that you didn't have the same mindset as his daughter.

"Sorry I took longer than expected, Bee." You spoke as you finished replacing the radio.

Bumblebee didn't seem to be bothered. "What...were you up to...girl?" The bot looked at you as he 'spoke'.

"Well, I made a friend. And I met her dad. They were the ones who gave me the radio," You smiled and looked up at the Autobot.

Bumblebee ruffled your hair with his servo. You didn't have any friends, so seeing that you made one- or two, made him happy.

It made him happy to see you smile.

I've been reading some of your posts and comments and I saw that you were open to doing headcanons about Lockdown, could you do headcanons about what he would be like as a father? I see him being a good father who trains and educates his son or daughter, but I also see him as a father who does not accept less than perfection, always demanding that the child/teenager be great at everything (so toxic)

I really love your writing, I just don't understand how you do it, like, you just look at the character and think "hmm, I think he's like that" and something very perfect and unique comes out, I really admire anyone who can do that... Anyway, drink water and stay well ❣️

Hello! I'm good and I hope you are well too!

Thank you for reading my stuff and always popping into my notes. Thank you for your kind words, I am glad you like my writing!! I'm always happy when I see your name pop up.

Warnings: Toxic father, toxic parenting.

He had never thought about becoming a father, he was always too busy. He had better things to do and spend his time on than try to raise a small being from its initial stages of weakness.

However when he found out he was going to become one anyway, he decided to accept his responsibilities. It takes two to make a sparkling, and he's not the type to abandon something that he helped create. He decided to take sole responsibility of raising it, knowing he could do it best.

At first he disliked the little being. It was always so needy and vulnerable. He wished he didn't have to carry it around and feed it when he was busy. But after many years he began to grow a bond. Perhaps that's just what happens when you have something clutched to your side 24/7 for almost a few decades.

He had already planned out his Childs future. He knew exactly who the would become, what they could do and how they would help him in his endeavors.

When his kid became old enough to look after themselves, he began training them. He made them train with weapons; guns, swords and hand to hand combat. Then he taught them tactics, stealth and how to use everything to their advantage.

He taught them multiple languages, and how to navigate the ship in case he was busy with other duties. He also made sure to take his child on adventures. Any time he went to another planet to capture a creature, he would take his child. Often he would make the kid do the capturing, he believes they have to learn from a young age so that they can become a strong adult.

He's not comfortable when his child becomes emotional. Any time his kid begins to cry or get upset, Lockdown gets snappy. Emotions show weakness, and he won't allow that on his ship. He's not completely heartless, if his kid is really uncomfortable then he will let the kid off the hook and not let them do something they don't want to. But afterwards he will explain to his kid, that doing things you are uncomfortable with makes you stronger. Then he will expect them to do the task next time.

He may not be good at showing kindness, especially when his child is upset. But he is great at showing when he is proud. When he is proud he will shower his child with 'affection' and compliments. He will tell the child they are doing great and to keep it up.

His 'affection' is usually a pat on the back, or resting his servo on their shoulder.

He will give his child many gifts. It may not be gifts they want, but it's gifts. Said items include weapons, creatures/pets that have a sole purpose of protecting the kid, useful tools to help them on adventures and missions.

Lockdown knows sometimes mistakes happen. Sometimes the universe throws everything against you and you fail. However, he knows how to take what the universe throws at him and make it work to his advantage. He's done so much, and learnt so much he rarely makes mistakes. So he holds that same expectation with his kid. When they are younger and smaller he will allow them to make a few mistakes. But once they are old enough to know better, he will not accept failure. Not unless they have a reasonable and very good excuse.

He is very strict with his rules. And if his child breaks any rules they will be justly punished. There is no escaping the punishments, they must be completed. If the child tries to dupe the punishment, and Lockdown finds out, he will make the punishment's longer and harder.
