Bulkhead glared darkly as he leaned against the wall with his arms folded. He had been questioned by the police along with Wheeljack. They were now talking to the cuffed doctor.

After a few minutes Ironhide walked over and spoke with them for a moment. Bulkhead wasn't really paying attention as he watched the man. The one that tried to kill his brother. His anger slowly mounted and he watched the cops leave to question the other employees. Ironhide and Jazz hauled the doctor out of the room. Bulkhead followed as he clenched his fists tightly and Wheeljack furrowed his brow.

"Bulk?" He asked as they went outside towards the cars. The bigger man didn't respond and walked faster.

"Hey!" He shouted making the two cops and the doctor stop. Without stopping Bulkhead punched Dr Scalpel hard in the face. The man stumbled and almost fell if the cops weren't holding on to his arms.

"Did you see that?!" The doctor yelled angrily as he stood up straighter. "He assaulted me!" He shouted.

"I didn't see anything." Ironhide said as he looked at Jazz. "Did you?" He asked.

"Nope." The young cop said as he pulled him to the car.

"This is an outrage!" Dr Scalpel yelled angrily and glared at them. "I'll have you all behind bars for this!" He shouted. Bulkhead glared and raised his fist again to strike him. Wheeljack grabbed his arm and held on tightly.

"That's enough Bulk." He said seriously and watched him as his arm shook. His friend choked back a sob and shrugged him off as he walked off to calm down.

Wheeljack watched him quietly and looked at Ironhide. Anyone close to the family, knew Bulkhead was trying to be like his father, even when it was hard. Ironhide shoved the doctor into the car and slammed the door. He walked over to the young man and gently gripped his shoulder.

"We got this... go be with your family." He said seriously. Bulkhead looked at him and nodded slowly as he smiled a little.

"Thanks..." he mumbled and rubbed his face tiredly. The cop nodded once and watched him go. Wheeljack followed his friend to the hospital.

When Bulkhead got there his baby brother was awake. He smiled tiredly and sat by his side. The other two asked where he went and saw Wheeljack. Bumblebee looked at them tiredly and furrowed his brow as a doctor came in.

"Knockout?" Bumblebee mumbled and frowned as he looked at the others. "Am... I still... hallucinating?" He asked quietly.

"No." Knockout scoffed and pinched his arm.

"Ow!" He yelped and glared at him. Smokescreen looked at the doctor and narrowed his eyes.

"Dang you guys are grumpy." He muttered and took his vitals.

"Maybe your sense of humor isn't actually funny." Smokescreen muttered and glared at him.

"Do you know what happened?" Bulkhead asked quickly before they got into an argument. Knockout nodded slowly and glanced at Wheeljack who was leaning against the wall.

"We tested the medication you brought in... that he was taking... and discovered something interesting." He said and picked up a clipboard. "Turns out it was specially designed to create hallucinations, and slowly kill the individual in the process. Basically a poison that acted like a medicine." He said seriously. The room fell silent and they looked at each other.

"Oh no..." Bulkhead muttered as he buried his face in his hands. "I encouraged you to take them." He mumbled as he choked back a sob. He almost killed his brother. Bumblebee gently gripped his hand and smiled weakly.

"Not your fault...." he rasped quietly and looked at the others. "You only thought it would help." He muttered but didn't seem angry with them. Bulkhead didn't say anything and hugged him tightly. He let a few tears fall as he bit his lip. If his brother had died, he'd never forgive himself.

A little later they had to go home, but didn't want to. Knockout said he would look after him, and they said goodbye before leaving. The two had oddly enough become friends over the years. They weren't angry with each other for what happened in the past. Bumblebee was quiet for a while then furrowed his brow.

"How's Ratchet?" He asked quietly as he looked at him. Knockout sighed forcefully and sat by him as he ran a hand through his red hair.

"We almost lost him last week..." he mumbled and stared at his hands. Bumblebees eyes widened in surprise and fear.

"I'm glad you were there to help." He said seriously. Knockout nodded slowly and fiddled with his fingers.

"Ratchets.... been like a father to me... ever since he took me in and started training me." He mumbled. Bumblebee looked at him and smiled a little.

"Like I said before... Uncle Ratchet is hard to not like." He said as he chuckled quietly.

"Unless you make him mad." Knockout laughed and shook his head. The young man laughed with him and they fell silent after a few minutes.

"How are you doing anyway?" Bumblebee asked quietly. "Ever since these drugs I... haven't seen anyone... well... real." He muttered.

"What about..."

"No... I haven't even heard from her... she probably won't talk to me anymore after all this...." Bumblebee mumbled and looked away. Knockout narrowed his eyes and flicked his forehead.

"Don't talk like that." He said seriously and glared a little. "I'm sure she's worried sick about you." He muttered. They were quiet for a while and Bumblebee looked at him.

"I heard you like someone." He teased and wiggled his eyebrows. Knockout scoffed quietly and folded his arms as he leaned back in the chair.

"Ya... she's only a few years younger than me." He mumbled and smiled a little. "We met here in the hospital actually. She was here for some medical check up." He said seriously.

"Do you know what for?" He asked and raised an eyebrow.

"Nope. But I don't really care. We've been talking for about a month now." He said as he smiled slightly.

"What's her name?" Bumblebee teased as he poked him. Knockout smirked but didn't say anything. "Come on." He pouted, clearly feeling better now. The young medic chuckled at his friend.

"Her name is Piper." He said as he smiled slightly. Bumblebee swore he heard that name before, but couldn't remember where.

"Well you better make sure you treat her right." He said seriously.

"Of course I will. Just like how you treat your girl." He said as he smiled a little. Bumblebee rolled his eyes and smirked as his friend smiled mischievously.
