It's Complicated (One-Shot for Autobot Nightfury)
A/N: This is for my bestie on here! I hope she and everyone who reads it likes it. Sorry for the wait, dear!
Jane lived an average life. Well, as average as any of Fowler's assistants could be. It was a nice gig though. Helping aliens get home, making sure stellar law was obeyed, and keeping an eye on the Autobots was in her job description. She was rather new to her recent employment but she already loved it. Though she did not love the long process and difficulty it took to get the job. But she would change it for nothing in the world.
Along with her employement, she was also in charge of picking up the kids when ever their respective guardians were on patrol and/or busy. Jack was friendly enough when he felt like talking. Raf was a sweety and prefered his game during the drive. Miko...oh, Miko...she was a handful. Jane had to watch that one. There had been one too many times that she had to wait for the girl to get out of detention. It was also an issue when Miko tried to run off without telling her host parents a proper lie.
Eh, things could be much worse. She had already seen it get worse. How many times had Fowler been babbling out of his mind after an encounter with a Decepticon? No, she was right where she wanted to be.
" Are we almost there yet? It's been an hour! " Miko complained loudly, her arms crossed and her legs propped on the back of Jane's seat.
" Well, I would have beat rush hour if I didn't have to wait for a certain girl to serve out her detention. " Jane remarked, a small smirk on her lips. It was common for the two to banter for the entire ride.
" Pff, I could have sneaked out if you weren't all ruley! " Miko called back, her foot coming up to prod Jane in the head. It was quickly smacked away.
" Grown-ups have jobs which means they have rules to follow. Jack knows what I'm talking about because he has a job. You'll understand one day. " Jane sighed, her palm coming up to gently smack her own forehead. How would she react when she had her own kids to deal with? She was 21, she had time.
Optimus was observing data when the group of humans walked in. Even when he felt like the fate of the worlds was crashing down on him, the human's bright faces showed him exactly what he was fighting for. Jack and Raj walked instantly to the couch. But Miko was already storming up to the Autobot leader.
" Optimus, when can I get Bulky back? Jane is driving me nuts! " Miko boomed, boots stomping up to him. It was funny the complaints these human children could come up with.
" Just because Jane is more responsible than Bulkhead does not mean she could push you to your mental boundary. " he chuckled lightly. Jane shrugged her shoulders as Optimus' optics turned to her.
" Part of the job, Prime. Kids are nothing compared to the Decepticons. Though I wonder about Miko sometimes... " Jane added with a small smirk. Miko might always seem frustrated with her. But their relationship was more like sisters than anything malicious.
" Can you please be a little more quiet? I'm doing calibrations over here! " Ratchet called out, the constant talking grinding on his nerves.
" Sorry, Ratchet! It's only for a few more hours then I have to take the kids home for the night. " Jane apologized, seating herself on the couch that the humans had brought in, wedged between the two boys. She could understand his frustration completely. Lives depended on the medic getting his work done and the pressure on him would only wear him down.
Jane cringed as she could already hear the screech of Miko's guitar. That girl was definately a handful.
Breakdown rolled his optic as Knock Out handed him the buffer. It was the third time today that the medic had him polishing his armor. But it was better than walking around the base with nothing to do.
" Make sure to get in the crevices, Breakdown! I want to look as good walking away as when I'm walking up to someone. " Knock Out ordered, practically purring as his assistant did as he was told. Sometimes the big lug couldn't understand how the two of them had even become friends.
Thoughts were pushed aside as a labor class vehicon made his way in.
" Lord Megatron requests your audience immediately. " the drone spoke up, a slight quiver in his voice. It was obvious the drone had not had much interaction with the higher up officials.
" Fine, fine, tell Megatron we are on our way now. " Knock Out ordered, dismissing the nervous vehicon with a wave of his servo. Breakdown groaned, his partner could be such a gear grinder.
" You rang, Lord Megatron? " Knock Out asked, his voice announcing his and Breakdown's prescence.
Megatron turned away from the data he had been analyzing on a large screen. His optics narrowed down at the red sports car and then turning to Breakdown's marred face plate.
" Soundwave has informed me that he sees a certain car pick up Optimus' pets from their place of study. But they take some sort of route through a tunnel to throw off his survelliance. The point is that those humans are important to the Autobots. With them in my possession, the Autobots would not dare try to retaliate during our efforts. I want one of you to hunt down this vehicle and take those you find inside. Am I understood? " Megatron asked, his optics more on Breakdown rather than the medic.
" I'll let Breakdown handle this one. I just got buffed. " Knock Out said, coyly looking at his partner. Breakdown nodded his understanding but was mentally beating the medic in his mind. He wasn't good at the delicate work like handling humans.
" Then we have an understanding. Do not fail me again, Breakdown. " Megatron growled, turning back to the screen he had been previously observing.
Jane carefully rubbed at her eyes. Lucky for her, the Autobots had came back early from their energon scouting mission and had more than willingly offered to take their respective humans home. She definetly did not mind to take them home but she was not a Cybertronian. Jane could not go for more than 24 hours without feeling the sharp sting of exhaustion.
She was ready for a night of good sleep. But her home was still another hour away as she drove across the lone highway. Though a large vehicle that blocked the upcoming road would put a hamper on her time. Jane's heart skipped a beat as she recognized not only the vehicle but the brand he bore.
" Out of the vehicle, humans! Or I'll blow you up with you in it! " Breakdown threatened, the gun on his hood coming up threateningly. Humans? He thought she had the kids! Jane was thankful that the Autobots had chose to take the humans home. This situation could have been far worse.
" Hold on, give me a second! " Jane announced, knowing she did not have a choice. She had seen what that gun could do. But it did not stop her from dialing Optimus' commlink and leaving it in her pocket. Breakdown was a little more than confused as the human stepped out. She was not one that he recognized. Her brown curls framed her features and sea blue/green eyes carefully observed his every move.
" Where are the kids and Bulky's brat? " he growled. He didn't have time for this! Megatron was going to have his hide if he didn't bring someone or something back to please him.
" Not here, the others took them home. I'm the only one here, lug-head. " Jane responded, eyes slightly widening as the mech transformed to his true form. The mech looked worried, like he was dreading something.
" Well, then who are you? " Breakdown asked, crouching down to get a better look. The young woman was curvy but not fat and her bust seemed to catch his optic. Jane wondered for a moment what he was staring at until it hit her. She was quick to cross her arms over her chest and give him a hateful expression.
" Optic up here, buddy. My name is Jane and I work with the government. Sorry to disappoint you. " Jane huffed, her eyes narrowed in on him.
" You sure have a big mouth for a human, huh? You gonna back it up? " he asked, a playful smirk replacing his scowl. Ah, so she wasn't the ones he had been looking for. It wasn't his fault anyways. A change had taken place during the plan. She was still worth something. One of the human's brows raised coyly.
" I don't have to because I'm not what you were looking for. So I'll just be on my way and you be on yours. " Jane ordered, starting to walk back to her car. A surprised gasp escaped the young woman as Breakdown's digits wrapped around her.
" I don't think so. You may not be what I was looking for but Megatron will still have some use for ya. The location of the Autobot base is all he really needs. " Breakdown laughed, giving her head a pet with the other hand. Nononononononononono! That was no good!
" That's really not necessary! Come on, you owe us for saving your sorry butt when Megatron wouldn't. If you take me to Megatron, he will kill me with extreme prejudice. " the female sputtered fearfully. Breakdown's optic wondered down as her chest heaved with fear. He hated to say it but she was attractive even for a Cybertronian's standard.
" Megatron won't kill you. He's actually fascinated with humans. Thinks they're kinda cute and whatnot. I'm sure he'll keep you for a pet or something. " Breakdown offered, not really wanting to share his new find. Jane could see the hesitation in his face plates. He was...attracted to her! A plan started to form in her mind.
" I don't know... I think... I'd rather be your pet. " she replied, a tiny pout on her face. Breakdown's optic widened at her response. Was she flirting with him? Jane hated to admit that the flirt wasn't exactly all pretend. When she couldn't relate to her own species, Cybertronians had a way of understanding her. This mech just so happened to be the rugged she liked.
Jane's stomach clenched as he brought her closer to his face.
" Well, I don't exactly like sharing. " he breathed, their faces mere inches away from each other. A digit was careful as it slid across her form.
" Then don't. Let me go and I'll show up when ever you need me. I'll even give you my number. " she added with a wink, her body slightly trembling from his touch. Jane knew she had to get him an incentive to bend to her need. Small hands came up to gently stroke the plating on his face. She was delicate as she planted a small peck on his lip. Jane could feel his plating heat considerably at the contact.
" Jane! " Bulkhead yelled, the rest of the team behind him. Optimus had known exactly what to do when he heard the voices filtering through his commlink.
" Or I can just take my new pet with me! " Breakdown laughed, space bridge opening behind him. Jane cried out one last time as the portal swallowed the pair.
" Risky move bringing your new pet back with you, Breakdown. " Knock Out chuckled. He would keep his assistant's secret. Who was he to judge what he played with? At least he had brought back a beautiful creature.
Breakdown wore a triumphant grin as he held her close. She was asleep now and the gentle move of his chest venting had lulled the upset woman to sleep. Or at least he thought. Jane was still awake, upset, but not all too upset at being held so gently.
