Transformers Prime:What We Do For Love

Chapter 1

All the Vehicons heads turned from their duties as Airachnid entered the bridge of the Decepticon war ship Nemesis,carrying two bodies,the first being a human known as Jack Darby and the other was a Cybrotronian woman and the love of his life Arcee.

She carried them further by the webbing that binded them,making more Vehicons turn to look as she walked by them before tossing them down to the floor,both getting up on their knees as Megatron turned to look at them.

"Ahh..Welcome Arcee..I must say..it took alot of my soldiers and Airachnids help to finelly bring you down..you have more fight in you then Optimus does"

Megatron said as she turned her head to look away giving Jack a good view of the cuts on her face that she got from the hopeless fight with Airachnid as energon dripped from them,dropping onto the floor.

Megatron reached down,wraping his long claws around her face making her look back up to him.

"Now I'll make this simple and to the point..I want the location of the Autobot Base".

"Don't touch her!"Jack screamed while struggleing with his bindings trying to get free.

"Ahh..Human..I almost forgot you were here..now maybe you can help me..I need the location of your base"Megatron said as he let go of Arcee,turning to Jack.

"You won't get any information our of me..torture me..do whatever you want to me!"Jack yelled,anger to his voice.

"Let me ask you again..tell me where the Autobot base is or i'll rip out her spark and if you tell me..I'll let you go".

"No... please don't"Jack begged.

"Jack tell them nothing!..don't worry about me!"Arcee cried out as Megatron slaped her,making her turn to look at Jack as more Energon dripped from her lips.

"I love you"She told him as he looked back up to her responding."I love you too...and I'm sorry..I can't lose you...The base is just outside Jasper Nevada in a underground bunker".

"Now was that so hard?..You Humans have a weakness when it comes to carring for others".

"I gave you the information you wanted..now let us go!".

"You misunderstood me Human..I said you're free to go but she's not"

Megatron drew his sword,plungeing it through Arcees chest,withdrawing it back out,Energon hemorrhaging from the wound,As Arcee fell face foward to the floor,as her optics went black.

"Arcee!...Noooooo!"''

...

Jack awoke,gasping and sweating as he raised up in bed looking around to get his understanding back to where he was.

He was as base,In Arcees room as he quickly looked over to see his Cybrotronian girlfriend who was laying in bed next to him,unharmed still sound asleep,deep into her rest cycle.

"It was just a dream..It was just a dream"He said to himself as he moved to sit on the edge of the bed,wiping the sweat off his forhead

His thoughts turned to how he became to be able to sleep there in the first place.

It took a while to talk his Mom into letting him stay at the base more and letting him spend some nights there.

He thought he put up a good excuse that he would be safer there and Arcee would be closer to watch over him, as the garage restricted her from doing that at home.

His mom agreed under one condition that she could check in on him anytime she wanted too,which was fine by him cause she already did that anyway.

"Babe?..What's wrong?"

Came a voice behind him as Jack turned to see two glowing light blue eyes looking at him through the darkness.

"Nothing..just had a nightmare"He responded as Arcee moved over,sitting behind him as she hugged his waist.

"Must of been a bad one..Want to tell me what happened in it?"She asked.

"We were...captured...took to Megatron...I...I watched you die..."Jack told her as he bowed his head,trying to get the image out of his mind again.

"Shhh..It's ok Baby..I'm here with you..I'm safe..We're safe"She said in a comforting tone to her voice as she held him tighter,stroking his hair.

"I just watched..I couldn't do anything..I was useless".

"It's ok Jack..it was just a dream"She said again softly.

"I know but it still bothers me..If anything ever happened to you..I couldn't go on living afterwards".

Arcee gently massaged his neck with her long alloy fingers making Jack close his eyes,relaxing to her touch.

"Feel better?"She asked him adding a kiss to the back of his neck

"Mmmm..Yes..But..I think some fresh air will do me some good..I'm going up to the surface".

"Ok but first I suggest you get dressed..I don't think Optimus..or your Mom would like you walking around in just your underwear".

"So..Do you like me dressed do?"He asked her as he started to pull on his clothes.

"Didn't say that"She answered,adding a wink and a smile.

He pulled on his shirt,turned around briefly to smile back at her as he walked out the door.

...

Arcee sat parked on the curbside at Jasper high school waiting to pick up the love of her life up from school as Bulkhead and Bumblebee pulled up,parking infront of her.

"You two are later than usual..what happened?"Arcee asked over the com-link.

"Traffic..there was a accident on the interstate..which I didn't cause by the way"

Bulkhead responded back as all three Autobots turned their attention to the sound of the school bell ringing as countless groups of teenagers poured out the front door a few minutes later as Jack,Miko,and Raf walked toward them breaking away from the crowd.

"Hey Bulk"."Hey Bee"Miko and Raf said together as they opened their guardians doors,climbing in.

"Ready to bash some dunes Miko?".

"Mall first Bulk...the new Slash Monkey album is out!".

"Sweet!..I'll get the CD player warmed up".

Jack waited till Buckhead and Bumblebee drove off with their human passagers before turning to Arcee who was waiting silently for them to leave just as Jack was.

"Hey babe!"Jack said taking a seat on her,putting on his helmet

"Hey!..How was school?".

"Better than usual..glad it's Friday tho".

"Me too...You have a romantic weekend for us planned?"She asked him while rolling out,turning onto the street.

"You might say that..we can start it with our date tonight"He said,smiling behind his helmet.

"Would love that...So..where would you like to go?"She asked.

"Well we can find a place where we can be alone...gaze at the stars together..and if we're early enough we can catch the sunset..I know how much you enjoy that".

"Jack..has it ever bothered you that we can't go on normal dates?".

"What do you mean Arcee?".

"I mean we can't go to movies together..We can't go out to dinner..or dancing..or anything like that".

"Ok..I'll bring a stereo along tonight so we can dance".

"You know very well what I mean Jack".

"I know what you mean Arcee..and yes..I have thought about but it doesn't bother me".

"Are you sure Jack?".

"Very sure Arcee..the only thing that we're missing from normal dates is being around other people..and that'something I don't mind missing".

"We can experienece anything together Arcee..We have a Groundbridge that can take us any place on Earth..We can be on a beach or anywhere else in a matter of seconds..and I consider that better than normal human dates".

"You're making me smile Jack".

"What I like to do best Babe".

"You can bring the stereo tonight..will be nice to see you dance".

"Will be embarrassing for me..don't consider myself a good dancer".

"I will be the judge of that"

...

Jack and Arcee rolled into base,coming to a stop as Jack steped off her giving her the freedom to transform as they both glanced around and to their surprise Ratchet was the only one at base infront of his usual station.

"Ratchet..where is everyone?"Arcee asked as Ratchet turned to face them.

"Bulkhead and Bumblebee havent reported in yet..and Optimus is out in the field tracking Energon signals..which I need you to be doing too Arcee"

"Yes Ratchet"Arcee said with a sigh,looking down to Jack,as he looked back up at her.

"Well there goes out date tonight"Jack said with a disapointed look to his face.

"Arcee there's no time to waste"Ratchet said as he powered up the Groundbridge.

"I'm coming Rachet..just give me a min"She said as she bent down on one knee to look Jack in the eyes.

"I'm sorry Babe"She told him as he strugged his shoulders.

"It's ok..Your duty comes first".

"Jack..that's not true and you know it...".

"I know..I'm sorry"He said with a nod as Arcee leaned down,kissing him deeply on the lips.

"I'll make it up to you..I promise"

They exchanged smiles as Arcee stood back up,walking through the Groundbridge as Jack watched her disappear with the portal swirling as it closed.

The sensers of the base sounded as Bulkhead and Bumblebee speeded into base,tires sqealing as they came to a halt with Miko quickly jumping out of Bulkhead,slamming the door shut as him and Bumblebee transformed.

"Wow!..is Slash Monkeys new album great or what!"Miko yelled as she formed an air guitar with her hands,playing along with the songs.

"Yea..great Miko..just try not to turn it up so loud next time..I need to keep my audio receptables".

"Bulkhead..Bumblebee!..I need you two out in the field right now".

"Do we have to Doc?".

"Of course not Bulkhead..Finding Energon isnt importnant..we will all just fall over and rust"Ratchet answered sarcastically.

"Okay Doc..we're going..Come on Bee".

Bumblebee turned to look down at Raf and with a series of beeps he apologized.

"It's ok Bee..we can play video games when you get back".

Miko raced up to stairs to the second level,turning on the tv.

"Jack..best out of three games?".

"No thanks Miko..I have a essay that's due Monday and I need to get started on it"Jack said as he walked toward the bases quarters.

"Ratchet..up for a challage?"Miko asked again.

"Are you kidding..I wouldn't waste my time on something so childish"The medic answered back from his montioring station.

"I'll play with you Miko"Raf spoke up as she climbed the stairs to join her on the couch.

...

Jack was alone in their room as he layed on the massive platform that became half is bed that he made it comfortable by adding a mattress on his side as he layed back,closeing his eyes,resting them from the strain of writing the paper that he had just finished.

He had just got relaxed since his Mom arrived earier to check on him and to bring his dinner.

She stayed for a short time as she talked with Ratchet which he always had questions on human medical treatments.

Jacks almost fell asleep,only to have himself wake back up by the sound of metal clanking as he opened his eyes to see Arcee walk in the room.

"Hey Baby".

"Hey Babe"Jack responded as he sat up,wiping his eyes.

"Didn't expect you back this soon".

"Neither did I..but one can only hunt so much for Energon"Arcee answered as she took a seat on the bed beside Jack,crossing her legs.

"What's going on Arcee..I never seen everyone hunting for the stuff so much".

"We're almost out Jack..Optimus is worried..In fact we all are".

Jack went silent as she thought of what would happen if Arcee ran out of Energon.

The thought of that scared him,making him worry as he quickly made his self think of something else.

"I'm sorry for not telling you Babe..I didn't want you to worry".

"I'll try not to..but knowing this now,I feel bad about being the way I was earier".

"No reason for you to feel that way..spending time with my boyfriend is equally importnant to me too"She said with a smile as she leaned down to him,kissing his neck.

"Ohh..Arcee..".

"Mmmm..Do you like?..."

"Mmmm..very much".

"Mmmm...Well there's more where that came from.

She pulled his shirt up,kissing his stomach and up his chest as she lifted it higher as Jack reached down,taking it off.

"Mmmm..just how I like you"She said with a grin as she kissed his neck again and worked her way back down his torso as she listened to his soft moans.

She reached down,unbuttoning his jeans with her long alloy fingers as she slid them off, kissing him deeply again,while runing her hand over his thighs.

Jack wraped his arms around her neck as they both shared their embrace only to have it interupted by Arcee's com-link sounding in her ear as she reached up to answer it with a sigh.

"Yes Ratchet..What is it?".

"Arcee..Optimus needs everyone in the main room for de-briefing".

"Now Ratchet?".

"Yes now Arcee".

"Very well..I'm on my way".

"I'm sorry Jack"She said softly while stroking his hair.

"It's ok"Jack responded adding a smile to help make her feel better as she stood up,going to the door.

"Don't you go anywhere..we will continue when I get back"She said as she turned to him adding a wink.

"Mmm...In that case..I'm not moving a muscle"Jack answered,exchanging smiles with her.
