The silence after the Mandroid's fall was thin and tense, thick with unsettled dust and unspoken fears. Bumblebee stood motionless, a sentinel of yellow and black, his brilliant blue optics fixed not on the horizon for threats, but on you. Every minute since you almost died saving Witwicky had stretched his wiring taut with a dread he couldn't quiet. Now, with your leg in a cast, your arm bound, and the shadow of burns marking your skin, he had made a decision. He would be your shadow. His innate gentleness strained against the raw fear of loss, holding him in a silent, vigilant watch.
