Hearing the sirens in the distance Josie knew her dad was once again up to some evil doing on the streets of Cleveland. Having a mobster as a dad is not easy. Having the head of the mob as a dad is no better. She sighed as she closed her door trying to block out the commotion as cop after cop came flying down the street. He will make it, he always does. Sometimes she wishes he did get caught, but then her mom would be devastated. Not that she was so innocent either since she found him while she was working a strip club. She quietly brushed her dark black locks as she stared at herself in the mirror. Her vibrant green eyes glared back at her like a cat glares at a mouse before dinner. She will be like them whether she likes it or not. She will be part of some evil, greater or smaller, but in the end it is still evil.

"Josie!"

Startled out of her daydream she ran down stairs to see her mom being handcuffed and dragged out the door.

"Mom!" She struggled to reach her as a fat cop who interestingly smelled of doughnuts pulled her back. "Let me go! Let her go, we had nothing to do with this!"

"You can say that to the judge little lady." The fat doughnut man replied impatiently.

"Oh yea and you can shove it where it don't shine fatty." With this she back kicked him in the crotch and ran. The fat cop screamed after her saying she didn't amount to anything and blah blah blah. She ran like there was nothing left to lose knowing her dad was probably dead and her mom was gone.

She kept running until the sirens were far in the distance. Slowing to a walk she walked down an alley way to hide but instead ran into another cop car. But there was no driver in it. 'Who would just leave a cop car in the alley? Well might as well teach them a lesson.' she thought with a smirk. Picking up a board from the trash to the right of her she lifted it and brought it down hard on the hood. Lifting the board once more she started to bring it back down when the car suddenly roared to life. She dropped the board stunned and blinded as the headlights shone into her eyes. Backed into the corner Josie heard the car started making harsh grinding and whirring sounds. The headlights disappeared and darkness surrounded her. Something started walking towards her with huge footsteps. Then two blue eyes appeared right in front of her. She swallowed the want to scream but the eyes made a hushing sound. Then some strange gas filled the air around her and suddenly everything went even darker.

"YOU WHAT!?"

Jasmine was startled awake by a loud robotic yell. Slowly coming to, she noticed that she was in a medical room but everything looked gigantic. She sat up slowly groaning as her muscles came to life. Her head throbbed with protest as the lights around her glared. She heard the door beside her hissed open.

"I don't care if she was scared you don't use that much chloroform on a human and you definitely don't bring her to the base!"

"But Ratchet she was-"

"I DON'T CARE!! GET OUT!!"

Jasmine sat there shaking as a large metal figure walked towards her grumbling about something. It squatted down to a level where they were face to face.

"I'm Ratchet the Chief Medic 'round here, and the only intelligent being too apparently. Are you alright?"

Josie just nodded her head, still trembling.

Ratchet lifted his arm to scan her vitals and saw her flinch.

"Don't worry little lady, I won't hurt you, promise." Ratchet lifted his arm again and took the scan. Seeing that she is fine he decided to figure out what happened.

"What is your name?" Ratchet interrogated.

"J-Josie."

"How did you meet Prowl, the police car if you don't know who prowl is."

"Why do you want to know? Are you like some machine the cops use or something?"

"Listen lady, don't get smart with me. I know how to deal with attitudes."

"I was running from the cops and ran into him. Then everything went blank." She huffed loudly as the giant thing called Ratchet kept fussing about her.

"Well, unfortunately you will have to stay here for a while until we know we can trust you with the knowledge of our existence."

"WHAT!? You are kidding right?" The last thing she wanted to do was stay there; especially with this dude.

"Sorry but that's how the game is played. If you want I can take you to meet the rest of us."

"What are the rest of us?"

"Well there's Optimus, Jazz, Prowl, Ironhide, Bumble-"

"No, no like, what are you guys?" Josie grew frustrated with being treated like a baby.

"Oh we are robotic sentient beings from the planet Cybertron, you humans call us transformers. We came here 'cause we were-"

"Wait you guys are aliens?"

"Yes, is there something wrong with that?" The robot got a pompous look on his face.

"No I just never knew they existed."

"Oh… Well would you like to meet the others?"

"I guess… as long as they don't knock me unconscious again."

"You and I both." Josie climbed into ratchet's hand and let herself be carried out of the room. At least she was safe. For now…
