AN: Hi, guys, I have been thinking to make this fic some time now and I soon realized that to it would be best to write this, so it would explain some things.
Like, in Summary, says, This will be a crossover between Transformers Prime and Transformer Rescue Bots. How Optimus made connections to Griffin Rock? How do Chief Burns learn first about Autobots? Well, at least this is my version. With Elena. I will try to continue other stories, but I just want to write this, so I won't need to explain a lot of the past.
Enjoy!
It was still night-time when Arcee felt hands going around the waist under the blanket. Then she felt kisses on her neck.
"You're not planning to leave, aren't you?" she asked.
"No," said Optimus, when stopped kissing her neck. "I did promise to stay." After that, he kissed her lips passionately. For their first interface, it was... wow. they now just rested and looked into their eyes. They have confessed their feeling to one another and now... here they were. Good thing Elena isn't there to scream 'Oh my gosh!' Speaking of Elena...
"Arcee, I wish to tell you about something," said Optimus, while looked at her. By his tone, it meant it's something important, at least to him.
"about what?" she asked.
"About Elena," he said. "There's something you should know about her..." Arcee moved a bit to have a good position to listen what he was about to tell. If it is about Elena it must be something important.
"Have you ever wondered why I gave my energon to Elena when we came after facing an undead army," Optimus asked.
"I thought you did it, to let your energon to strengthen her up against effects of dark energon," Arcee replied.
"True, but if that was the only reason Silver could have asked all of us for that." Optimus reminded.
"Then, why yours?" Arcee asked.
Optimus turns a bit looks up to the ceiling. So far, only he and Silver knows about this. Sure, Everyone except Arcee knows why he has to give his energon to Elena when she needed it. But they don't know the meaning of it.
"When PeaceStar operated Elena, she gave up her arm and leg to her."
"That's what others had told me. Bulkhead said it was the very first-time Ratchet yelled at PeaceStar."
"Well, I could agree with him. The original plan was to give Elena other type of parts, not her own parts. But that wasn't all." he continued. "To those parts, they still needed energon and CNA sample, so the impacts could hold connection between the parts to the body's nerve system."
"Kind of like portal between two different life forms"
"Something like that. It however, requires a lots of energon. PeaceStar was planning to use hers, but Ratchet forbid it. She was already to weak. Giving up too much energon could have killed her. But she wasn't going to give up. I noticed the container and I could see she was going for it no matter what Ratchet would say. So, I took it before she could. She begged me to finish the operation. So, I decided quickly one simple solution."
"You donated the energon to Elena's operation." she said.
"Everyone was surprised by it, but afterward they saw it was a better solution, so PeaceStar wouldn't do it. However, after the operation was done and Ratchet cured her, she came to talk to me."
"About what?" she asked.
"Why she gave up her parts instead using others. She told me she saw a vision."
"Stars haven't had visions since the beginning of the Golden age," Arcee noted.
"Which why I knew it must be something important," Optimus said. "She told me she saw Elena sitting on my shoulder. We looked at each other, while she heard a name."
"Name?"
"Elena Star Prime." Hearing that name Arcee looked at Optimus while he turns his head and looked her. "You know what that would mean."
"She will be your daughter." she said.
"She already is." he cleared. Arcee gasps to realize that. "I was worried at first. I wasn't sure can I be father while leading Autobots against Decepticons. But in these past following years, I have noticed that how she has taken her place in the team. Sometimes when she looks after the kids or looks something from Star computer she looks just like me. It's like…"
"...she truly is your daughter." Arcee finished the line. Optimus looked at her before she gave kiss on his cheek. "I have thought it just pure coincidence that she almost sounds like you. Trying to keep the order while you're out in patrol or make sure no one bothers you while you and Ratchet try figure something out. But this makes more sense. She would love it."
"Really?" Optimus asked surprisingly and lifted a bit to look at her.
"Remember the time when she was resting in the room near my quarters?"
"I thought she wanted to try sleepover like does with Bumblebee."
"Well, there isn't much to do in my quarters, unlike in Bumblebee's where they watch movies."
"Well, that explains the screaming one night." Optimus chuckled. Arcee chuckled for that too. True, one time, when Elena was sleeping in Bumblebee's quarters, they were watching some movies late at night and suddenly there was a scene in which Bumblebee scream so loud that everyone woke up. Bumblebee tried to say he had nightmare, but TV give it all away. But to the topic...
"Elena was sleeping near my quarters because she felt she didn't deserve to sleep near yours." Arcee continued.
"Deserve? What made her think that?"
"Miko."
Optimus was surprised to hear that. Knowing Miko she wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings, not on purpose. In this Arcee also moved a bit in which both of them were sitting on her berth.
"Miko sneaked out and followed me and Bulkhead, when Ratchet asked us to check magnetic disturbance. We let her come, since we thought it will be just a recon, but then we discover Breakdown and Airachnid fighting over polarity gauntlet. Before we could go after them, I asked Ratchet to bridge Miko back to base."
"That sounds usual," Optimus said.
"I thought it too. But turns out, Elena was there ready to give punishment on sneaking out and to yell on com-link. Which is normal sometimes, but then Miko started to talk back, in which she said that you're not her father..."
Optimus remained quiet by that. If he would have been there...Well, it was a good thing he was scouting with Bumblebee.
"After realizing what she had said, Miko felt awful and tried find a way to apologize, but she feared Elena wouldn't forgive her. After we survived from former energon mine, the first thing she did was to go apologize Elena. When we came back with gauntlet, I learned what happened and Elena told how she felt. She thought you are too important to even think have her as daughter. But she truly wants to call you a father."
Optimus wasn't sure what to say on that. Elena wants to be his daughter as much he wants to be her father. Realizing that he was speechless Arcee touch his arm which brings him back to the presence. Optimus smiles to her before kisses her.
Taking note what time it is they went back to rest before they both fell into recharge.
Next day Optimus walks to command center. To his surprise he spot Elena sleeping on the couch. Probably stayed long time outside or went look Star computer after she returned. Either way, she must have been tired that didn't bothered go to her bed. Well, that explains why she wasn't in his quarters asking where he was last night. Not that he didn't mind to tell her.
Right then, Optimus heard someone coming from outside. That was strange. Bulkhead said he sure will be resting. Same goes to Bumblebee. Soon he got his answer when an ambulance came and transformed to their medic, Ratchet.
"Ratchet, where did you go?" Optimus asked.
"I went to pick some energon from our underground deposit. And I have sad news, Optimus. We are in low with energon." Ratchet said and showed small piece of energon. "We need to find more energon, Optimus."
"I understand," Optimus said. "Keep an eye on any energon activity," he said. Ratchet agreed and move to the computers.
In time, others started to come and go pick kids for school. In that time, Elena has woke up.
"What time is it?" Elena asked.
"Afternoon. You slept a lot." Ratchet noted.
"Sorry. I guess that last mission and anniversary must have been much." Elena said while got up to sit. Meanwhile, Silver comes and brought a tray with tea, bread, and jam.
Meanwhile, others came back with kids. While 'bots went on their own things, while kids went to Elena.
"What you got here?" Miko asked.
"Late brunch," Elena answered. "We were way occupied yesterday."
"Decepticons?" Jack asked.
"Yep"
"What they did now?" Raf asked.
"They went picked some weapon called Immobilizer." Elena started to explain, while prepare her bread. "All its beam hits freezes. But luckily thanks to Bee we managed to defeat them. And thanks to our dear doctor, we managed to unfreeze those who got zapped."
"Awsome. Can we see it?" Miko asked.
"No," Elena said while started to add jam to the bread slices.
"Oh come on."
"No. And for two good reasons, one I won't let you freeze anybot here and second, I not sure if it works on humans, but even if it does, NO."
"That's was lots of 'no'," Jack said to Raf, who tried hold his laugh.
"I heard that," Elena said and was about take a bite from the bread before she holds still. For some reason, she only looked at it. Bread with jam. Why it feels like it holds...memories.
"Why you always enjoy that bread with jam, Elena?"
"Because when we first came here, there was midwinter celebration. We didn't knew what was going on, but we still found bread behind our door. We ate half of it with the jam and rest we took with to ask who did it. And guess what your father said to us."
"The rider of midwinter."
"Yes. Ever since then I enjoy this bread with jam and I always leave letter to the rider. And for some reason, I find that he has answered it."
"Did the rider send you the letter?"
"Yes, here it is..."
"Elena? Elena?!"
Elena snaps back to the present and noticed Jack, Raf, and Miko looking at her confusedly.
"What? what's wrong?" she asked.
"You were simply looking that slice of bread."
"I was?" Elena looked on her bread. "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. For some reason, it brought up some old memories to me."
"What kind of memories?" Jack asked.
"When I was little. The time when my papa left to the military. Back then we went to live somewhere else."
"Where?"
"It was one island near the Maine. It was called..."
"Optimus, I pick up something," Ratchet called, which made everyone to get close to the screen to watch, including Elena and the kids.
"Did you find an energon activity?" Optimus asked.
"No exactly." Ratchet said. "It's some sort of energy beacon."
"Decepticons?" Arcee asked.
"I'm not sure. It's hard to say. It could be a trap."
"It would be still best to go and look," Optimus said. "Where it is, exactly?"
Ratchet shows the map and pinpoints the location. Elena get more surprised when she sees where it comes from.
"Th-That's Griffin Rock."
"A what?" Ratchet asks.
"It's where I use to live."
"Griffin Rock? What name is that?" Miko asked.
Elena sighs and goes to Star computer, where she placed pictures on a bigger screen.
"The name 'Griffin Rock' comes from the mountain where one of the rock has a shape of a Griffin. It's not a big island, but there is a city there, but to get there without been notice won't be easy."
"Not even from by Groundbridge?" Jack asked.
"Even if we bridge to the forest, someone could still be there. Some people like to go camping and if you get into a fight, it will get their attention and they come to look."
"And the mountain?" Raf asked.
"There's lab on there. You could be spotted."
"Then how we could get there without been spot?"
"Well, You could take an auto ferry and get into the island."
"And if someone asks where we're going?" Ratchet asked.
"Well, for example, if Optimus goes there as a truck, we could say we came to look for... um... Where the location is exactly?"
"Middle of the forest." Ratchet answered.
"...we came to check the health of the forest. If they asked more, we just say we...spot something unusual and that we came to make sure it won't cause any harm to nature and people."
"Would they really believe that?" Miko asked.
"They really respect balance with nature and technology," Elena said.
"Well, since you said you lived there once..." Jack said.
"But was it when you were small? What if time has changed since then." Raf said.
"I still went there to see our friends on every Holiday," Elena said. "We were...supposed to go see them as well on that day when we..." Elena tried to say before started to look sad. Bots and kids could guess that she was talking about the day when MECH came and killed her father and almost killed her if it was for Autobots.
"Well, since you know the area, I think it would be good if you come along."
"But Optimus, what if it truly is a trap?"
"Then I'm sure Elena can make sure any humans won't come any closer."
"Yeah. Besides Agent Fowler is occupied." Bulkhead reminded.
"And if it's Decepticon trap, better have the backup," Arcee suggested.
"Okay, then. So, Optimus, Arcee and I will bridge to Maine and get to the auto ferry, which leads to Griffin Rock. There we try to go through the city to the forest and check this energy beacon and handle the matter and then move back to the auto ferry without any suspicion and bridge back to base." Elena explained the plan.
"That's so complicated," Miko said.
"I told you we can't bridge there without risks that we'll be spotted," Elena said.
"Elena is right. We can't take risks that citizens will see us." Optimus said.
"Okay, but would they be curious to find a woman driving a truck," Jack suggested.
"Excuse me."
"Not an offense, but it's more normal to see a girl in a passenger seat, but in driver's seat..."
"But like Bulkhead said agent Fowler is occupied. He has a meeting." Elena reminded.
"Well, I know I can use my holoform" Arcee reminded.
Then Silver got something and started making something. And while she did it, she went to near Arcee pick something and kept doing something.
"What are you doing?" Ratchet asked from her.
"And what are doing with my holoform?" Arcee asked.
"Your holoform?" Miko wondered.
"The biker she makes to look like someone is driving," Elena explained.
"Oh! That!"
Then Silver finished whatever she was doing. Then she gave something to each bot.
"What are these?" Bulkhead asked.
"Did she just made each of you a holoform?" Raf wondered.
"It looks like it," Arcee said.
"Ooh. Let's see them." Miko said.
"For what?"
"Oh, come on, Ratchet. Let's try if these works." Bulkhead calmed down the medic.
In this all five autobots stood middle of the command center before transformed to their vehicle mode. After doing so Arcee placed her holoform and her "driver" appeared, but this time there was some details. The driver now had different clothes on. Instead driving suit, she had jeans, black boots, blue top, pink driving gloves and denim jacket. It sure had helmet on, but you could now see black hair coming out of it.
"Silver, did you just add new details to her?" Jack asked from the cybertronian wolf, who simply smiling widely. Something tells, that it's not just that.
"Well, I don't know about Arcee, but I think I...wait a minute..." Bulkhead said before remained silent, until he stopped for some reason. Kids and Elena didn't know what was going inside the four vehicles, but by looking the motorcycle, they managed to know soon. The driver of the motorcycle let go of the handlebars and looked at her hands.
"Did just Arcee's driver moved?" Raf asked.
Right then, all four bots screamed out loud. Wait, four? Then from three vehicles came out human. Okay, more like stumbled out of the vehicle. The driver of the motorcycle fall from the ride. But so far nothing happened in the truck. Kids and Elena look entire scene with eyes and optics wide open.
"SILVER, WHAT YOU DID?!" Elena yelled to her.
First Silver showed cutest puppy optics she could make before she started to explain.
"She says, that she used Star power to improve the holoforms so, the disguise will be perfect." Raf translated.
"Oh, like turning them into humans, is that perfect?" Elena asked.
"It's not just that," Optimus spoke. "It looks like, she upgraded the holoforms, so we could control their moves. Even if we are still in our vehicle forms our holorms can move and talk as if that is us."
"Wow, you can walk among the humans too now? Awesome!" Miko said.
"More like waste of time." said man who came from ambulance, which means it was Ratchet. He looked like between 40's and 50's, with red hair with some grey lines. light clean bread and glasses on. He was wearing now driving jacket and orange pants and brown shoes. "Why would we bother go out like this?"
"I wonder that too," Elena said while looked on Silver who was showing the cute look again.
"Well, Not that I'm complaining, but this is bit creepy." said bigger man, who came out from dark green SUV. He looked like between 20's and 30's, muscles, darker skin and black army short hair. He was wearing grey pants and black army boots, black t-shirt black driving gloves and green jacket.
"Well, I got one. Why Bulk looks like Fowler's big brother?" Miko asked.
"I WHAT?!"
"Miko, that sounds very insulting. Besides, I don't see any resemblance. He looks more like...Samuel L. Jackson's big brother." Elena said. In this, girls heard Jack and Raf trying to hold their laughs.
"Well, I agree on one thing, this is creepy," Arcee said through the female driver.
Then young man near the yellow muscle car tried to say something nothing came, while vehicle itself beeped. It was obvious to guess it that young man was Bumblebee's holoform. He had blond hair and what got others attention was huge scar on his neck, obviously to tell why he can't speak. He was wearing yellow black driving pants, black boots, black t-shirt, black driving gloves and matching driving jacket. Realizing, that he couldn't speak at all made him pout.
In this, Silver went down, with Raf and there to Bumblebee. Silver placed something on Bee's holoform arm. It was some sort of translation device.
"It's only when you have the holoform, Bee" Raf explained. "Right, Silver." Silver nodded.
"Hopefully I never go like this." Bee pout while used the device.
"Hopefully, no one does." Ratchet said.
"Well, I think it's necessary if you go to the island. It would be weird if you simply sit on the bike." Jack said.
"Okay. We may use these on this mission ONLY." Arcee cleared.
"Just one question check. Can you remove the helmet from... you know. Just in case if someone asks." Elena suggested.
"Fine." Arcee said, before her holoform removed her helmet revealing her look. Jack's eyes went wide when he saw his guardian's look. She had black hair in ponytail, while one curl was pink and pink pin on her hair.
"You almost look like Mrs. Darby." Ratchet said.
"Oh, if someone asks she could be your aunt or big sister," Miko suggested to Jack.
"SILVER!"
Hearing Arcee yelling her name, Silver tried to escape, but while she tried someone came out from Optimus and took hold of Silver by her collar.
"Silver, for these things, it would be best if you ask from others first." said the person who came out from Optimus.
Everyone now looked at the man who came out. He was obviously at 30's, but unlike Bulkhead's holoform he looked totally different. He looks hot. His body was very built, but not too much like Bulk's. He had short army-cut brown hair and clean bread. He was wearing jeans, brown shoes, white T-shirt and red white jacket.
"Optimus?" Ratchet asked.
"Yes?" the man asked. Yes, that was his holoform.
"Wow, you're looking good for a human," Bulkhead said.
"Wow" Bumblebee translated.
Arcee simply looked down to hide her blushing, but to not look so suspicious, she looked somewhere, else, until she noticed Elena's reaction. Elena was bit shocked. It was hard to say was she mad or sad or...what. Arcee couldn't tell why she was like that, until she remembers. Optimus' holoform looks almost like her father. She did once find picture of him. Did he picked the holoform from that? Or was it Silver's doing also?
Jack and Miko noticed Elena's reaction, while she started to get down to others. She walked to the Optimus while others moved away since they weren't sure either was she okay.
"You...you look alike my papa."
"Oh, bad move," Miko said to Jack.
"I tried change bit, so it won't ..." Optimus said.
"It's okay. I guess I gave the idea to Silver when I said he was like you." Elena said while smiled bit and looked at Silver, who once again tried to give cute look to her. Seriously, you if she keeps that up, her optics could pop out. "Besides, he never had blue eyes, and he had more hair. So, this suits you."
"Um...Thank you" Optimus said.
"Your Welcome. But I think you should watch over, because I won't be surprised if there will be womans looking at you."
"Why they would look at him?" Bulkhead asks.
"Because he looks hot," Miko said.
"Optimus doesn't have a fever."
"She means he is good looking," Jack explained.
"Well, he did have that kind of reaction on Cybertron. Good thing was that war kept everyone focused that he could focus on leading Autobots."
"Well, for truck driver he needs something." Elena saids while looks closely.
"Like what?" Raf asks.
"A cap. Every truck driver has a cap." Miko said.
"Well, maybe this will do." Jack said and picks a box which had clothes and there was some caps. "mom asked to bring some stuff to Elena, she thought, she could use them."
"Well, I could think some disguises to cover stories, if it is needed."
"Better her than these." Ratchet said.
Jack brings the box down and the first thing that shows up is blue white cap. Elena picks it up adjusts it and puts it on Optimus.
"Perfect." Elena said. "Now I need look something to me."
"Why?"
"I'm in dead-list, remember." Elena reminded. "Everyone in Griffin Rock, already thinks I'm dead."
"I think it would be best." Optimus said, while took cap off. Not that he didn't like it, he just didn't felt to wear it right now. "If they think Elena is dead and they saw her, they will get curious and start to ask questions. and what is worse, MECH will come to her."
"But they already know she is alive." Miko said, while came down too.
"True, but they can't locate me. If they know where I am, everyone close to me will get hurt." Elena explained. "So, as much it hurts me, I must act I don't know them."
Right then she felt hand on her shoulder and saw Arcee near her.
"We know, this is hard for you." she said. "We also have been undercover and pretend to be someone else to our friends."
"I know I once was. But it only lasted five nano-cycles before I knocked out the guards." Bulkhead tell.
Elena laughed a bit. She could guess, how Bulkhead tried to convince he was a bad guy before he hit hard and knock out the guard.
"You know what this calls for?" Miko said, while picks something.
"Miko no..." Jack tries.
"A picture." young Japanese girl says and snaps the picture with her phone. "AWW!"
REVIEWS, PLSS ^^
AN: I like how so far the first chapter. I am already writing next Chap. This story will be bit short, so I will be able to continue my other stories. Just let you know I have pictures of their human looks in my DA gallery if you are interested to know.
