Miranda woke up to crying. She didn't know who it was coming from until she looked over at Optimus who was sitting on the floor.

“Optimus??” She called as Optimus turned to her with sad and watery eyes.

“What's wrong??” She asked as he stood up and ran to her.

“I had a bad dream.” He said as she sighed and held him. He cried glowing energon as Miranda rocked him back and forth like a baby.

“I'm sorry, Optimus. I guess it was about Megatron and his Decepticons??” She stated as Optimus nodded into her chest.

She glared at nothing at the thought of the Warlord and held Optimus like he was her own son.

*Next day*

“I'm sorry, Optimus. But I have to go to the base. I'll be back, I promise.” Miranda said as Optimus held her wrist and cried like never before.

“But, I want to go with you.” He cried out as he gave Miranda the most adorable puppy dog eyes. She wanted to say yes, but she knew she couldn't. Until an idea popped into mind.

“Okay, Optimus. I will take you with me.” She said as Optimus cheered.

“But, I have to hide you in my backpack again.” She finished as Optimus nodded and climbed into her bag. She smiled and placed the bag on her shoulders before groundbridging outside the Mountain.

“Miranda!! Hey!!” She heard as she turned to see Superman. She grinned and hugged the Man of Steel before she held the straps of the bag tightly.

“Whoa, I haven't seen you since the Alien Invasion. How's Barry??” He asked as she smiled.

“He's good. He's actually doing better ever since he saved Wally from the Speed Force.” She stated as she looked to see Optimus' head poke out.

“So, what are you doing here??” He asked as Miranda looked at the Mountain.

“I came to see if Nightwing and Bruce was here.” She stated as Clark rubbed his chin.

“They should be in the mission briefing room. But if not then zeta tube to the Watch Tower.” Clark said as she nodded before she walked to the briefing room.

“Wait, Miranda.” Clark stopped her noticing she dropped her bracelet. Miranda froze, afraid that Superman may have used his x Ray vision to see Optimus.

“You dropped your bracelet.” He stated as she sighed in relief and thanked him with a hug before running to the briefing room.

“...there hasn't been any crime activity.” She heard Batman say as she entered the room to see Batman and Nightwing. Just the people she was looking for.

“Batman, Nightwing.” She called as the two men looked at the female speedster.

“Miranda. You're back. I see you brought company, too.” Batman stated as she froze. She looked behind her to see Optimus poke his head out.

She sighed before setting her bag on the ground.

“Its okay, Optimus. You can come out.” She said as Optimus crawled out of the bag. Nightwing's eyes went wide when he saw the little robot.

“That's what I was trying to tell you, Miranda.” Nightwing said as he walked to Miranda.

“So, by William, you mean Agent Fowler?? Because that's the only William I know.” She stated as he nodded.

“Miranda!! Do you copy??” She heard Ratchet say through comm link.

“One second. Yeah, Ratchet. I'm here.“ She said as she placed Optimus back in her bag.

“We have an Energon signal on the move. It might be Megatron.” Ratchet said as she nodded.

“Okay, I'm on my way. And make sure Arcee and Bulkhead doesn't go anywhere near the ground bridge. They like to sneak off.” She replied as she placed the bag on her shoulders.

“Arcee and Bulkhead??” Batman asked as she forgot that the Dark Knights were still right there.

“I'll explain later. I have to go. My friends are in trouble.” She said as she saw the ground bridge appear.

“Okay, but you do have a lot of explaining to do, young lady.” Nightwing said in a tone a father would talk to his daughter. Miranda rolled her eyes and smirked before running through the ground bridge.

“What do we got??”
