Disclaimer*****I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS******

######

BumbleBee was standing in the scrap yard looking over a map of the area looking for the escaped Decepticons. SteelJaw's escape had him concerned, having the wolf-like Con threaten to get him back. He feared that the coning con would find out about his friends that live on this planet, not even his own team knew about them. Though he did suspect that Strongarm knew of them. He had to find SteelJaw before it was too late. Bee did not want them to get involved again. A voice behind him made the once scout turn quickly.

"Um...Bee?"

Seeing Grimlock with a slight worried look concerned him, Grim was childlike and to see him look worried concerned Bee. "Grim is everything ok?"

"That's what I was going to ask you." the dinobot replied "You've been acting weird Bee."

"Honestly, I'm fine. I just want to find SteelJaw before he hurts someone. We were able to stop him from harming humans before. I doubt we will be as lucky as we were last time." Bee said "Unless I...We find him before he can do any damage."

"Well as long as you take a break ,and don't become obsessed in finding him again. I guess it's fine." Grim said and walked away.

The yellow bot sighed, he might as well take a break now. Besides SteelJaw would never know about his family on Earth. Considering the fact that he did not have any contact with them since he got back to Earth. He felt guilty that they had no idea that he was even in their planet. Walking away from the in-air screen he decided to check in with his team.

Drift was training Jetstorm and Slipstream. Strongarm and Sideswipe were sparring each other, and Grimlock was sitting on the ground listing to Russell talk about what plays his team did for football practice. Lastly Denny was cataloging all the items he had and what he needed to get, replace or get fixed.

Feeling bad that his team had on more than one occasion ruined part of Denny's collection. Though Denny had said that he was fine about it, his whole team knew that how upset Denny was about all the damages that were taking up. Russell was the first to see him and waved him over. Walking over to him Bee smiled.

"Hey, Bee. You up for joining us for a movie night tonight?" He asked

It had been a few days since he enjoyed a movie night with the team so he nodded his head. "Sure, sounds like fun." After awhile he added "Make sure Drift approves of the movie as well. Optims made that rule when some friends of mine started to bring movies to the base. They had to check the title and run it by him."

"Why would he have restrictions?"

"Optimus or Drift?" Bee asked Russell

"Optimus, I guess." the boy replied

"I was the youngest among Team Prime. I was already dealing with the war so Optimus decided to halt any horror movies that they might want to see. One time two of my friends had to miss an outside showing of their favorite horror movie because, someone had let the movie slip, and they had to miss it, because I wanted to go along and Optimus forbade me from going. So to make me feel better they decided to miss it and have a movie night with the others at base and watch movies that Optimus had approved on. She made it up to them, though."

"Ok I'll ask after they are done training." Russell said

The alarm went off after Russell finished that sentence, sighing in disappointment he looked up at BumbleBee, "I guess movie night is over." he added dryly

Hearing the disappointment in his voice he smile softly "Do not give up on movie night yet. It could be a simple recon mission."

Walking up to the command post he and the others waited for Fix-it to tell them what triggered the alarm.

"It seems that there is an energy signature that is coming of a ground-bridge. The location of the energy signature Crown Pitty...kitty..." 'CLANK' he hit himself to get his vocal processor working like he wanted it to "City"

"Ok let's get to Crown City and see what is going on." Bee said "Rev up and roll out."

They had all taken positions around the city to see if there was any Decepticon trouble. A few black vans had passed by in a line, slowing down when they started to pass Bumblebee, the sight of those vans unnerved him somehow. It made no sense IronHide's vehicle mode was similar to those vans except IronHide did not have tinted windows.

As soon as the vans passed a medium size girl came out of a store, her brown hair was long and flowed with the wind, framing her eyes were a pair of blue visor sunglasses and hanging over that was a strain of hair braided and dyed black, red, and a light green. Her jacket blowed with the wind revealing a red and blue shirt, covering a petite figure.

Aside from the dyed strain of hair Bee got the feeling that he knew her. He wanted to see the girl's face to see if his suspicions were true. If they were she would be in even more danger than she was when she was helping fight against Megatron. Now with SteelJaw on the loose and Soundwave ready to strike. He did not want them involved again. If it was not her then he did not want to risk the secoret for nothing.

The girl turned the corner going to the college that was near by. Seeing the greek letter that decorated the jacket Bee concluded that she was part of a sorority and then figured that it was not Ava. Girly as she maybe she was not a sorority type of girl. Aside from being shy, besides she was not as girly as she seemed. He knew it could not be Miko on the count that she had naturally black hair and loved to dye it pink. Besides unlike Ava do to her shyness, Miko would think that being in a sorority was lame. At least that is what it would have been like for the girls he knew years ago.

'How many years had it been since I last saw them. I know it could not be that long.' BumbleBee thought 'The rescue squad's partners are still alive.'

Bee was jolted out of his thoughts by his com. "Go ahead." Bee said

"We have been here for a few hours now BumbleBee." Drift said "I suggest that we regroup and refocus our resources on other locations. If a con was going to attack they would have done so already."

Bee knew that Drift was right, they would have attacked already, beside they would eventually run into whoever activated that bridge sooner or later.

Calling the rest of his team "Okay, let's head back to base guys, to regroup and decide what we are going to do."

Taking a few hours to get everyone situated and relaying the information to each other, with the exceptions of the three black vans that he saw. Bee did not want to worry them over nothing. Russell was glad that movie night was back on.

Weeks had past since that mysterious ground-bridge, girl and black vans had happened. He still kept it to himself, but more and more black vans started showing up. Denny assumed that it was the government, that they had figured out that Bee and his team were here. BumbleBee quickly dismissed what Denny said. If it was the government one of his friends would have came with them.

The cars made him nervous, especially with Jetstorm and Slipstream doing solo patrols without Drift now. He wanted to tell Drift about his concerns about the cars, but he also did not want Drift to turn into an overprotective father type again. He had given the boys some freedom and it would be a shame if they had their fun ruined by whoever drove those vans. Their safety was his number one concern. Even if it did make them unhappy. He would make sure it was only temporary, though Drift hid it well Bee could tell he cared deeply about Slipstream and Jetstorm.

As the yellow bot walked he decided to talk to Drift about seeing if he should tell the others as well. Jetstorm and Slipstream ran off jumping over the wall of the scrap yard and ran off into the woods. They were taking their turn doing patrol.

Approaching the samurai bot BumbleBee sighed "Drift, can I talk to you a minute?" he asked

Looking at the team's leader Drift noticed the worry on his face and nodded. It seemed important.

######

Slipstream and Jetstorm ran through the forest, using the trees to hide and move quickly, by jumping across the branches. They knew that humans camped in these woods so, they had to be careful not to attract any unwanted attention to themselves. Jumping from branch to branch they watched out for decepticons and humans alike. Drift did not often allow them to go off on their own after the news that SteelJaw had escaped along with a few other prisoners.

Both boys knew that their master meant well, but they could not help but feel as though Drift did not think that they could be safe on their own for an hour. Stopping when they saw a human girl standing in the woods. She had visor sunglasses on so they could not see her eyes, deciding to get a bit closer to see who it was they slowly moved forward. stopping they decided to instead go around and not bug the girl.

The girl had a jacket with weird writing on it, and the hood of the jacket was covering her face she was looking around. Jetstorm stepped on a weak branch and it broke off the tree. Luckily Slipstream caught him before he fell and revealed the Autobot secoret to a human. The branch fell by the girl causing her to jump away from the branch and look up into the trees. They both froze, it seemed as if she had seen them. The blue visored gaze landed on them.

In a second the girl burst into a sprint away from the spot where she was. The boys followed her, if she did see them they wanted to talk to her, if not they wanted to see why she left. As if she knew they were following her the girl started to speed up, running to an open field; breaking into the clearing she turned around. The minicons stopped where they were and jumped when the girl's face stopped on them. Feeling as if her eyes stared directly at them. Her body language was challenging them to come out and fight. After a few minutes the girl stood up straight and ran off.

Looking at each other they nodded in agreement, they were done with patrol anyway, heading back to the scrap yard that served as their base; they decided that they needed to tell their team about the mysterious girl with the blue visor.

######

After hearing all Bee had to say about who he believed drove those vans he nodded his head as he forced himself to not go hunt down his students. Right now he was needed and he would help out. Even though his students could be endangered. Deciding to first give Bee the advice and then look for his students.

"I suggest that you tell the others. Wait until the boys get back and then tell everyone. This is news that can not be repeated." Drift said "If anyone of us gets taken it would put our team at a disadvantage."

BumbleBee nodded "You're right, I'll let the others know." he said then left.

The samurai bot was about to leave but he saw the two mincons enter the scrap yard and released a brief of relief that he did not know he was holding. Walking up to them he looked at them and said "BumbleBee has some news he wishes to share." Then motion for them to follow him.

By the time the three of them got there the others were waiting for them, BumbleBee smiled as the they took their seats. Though his smile quickly turned into a frown. It was either tell them now while they all were safe or wait till one of them was captured.

Sighing BumbleBee turned to his team "I want you all to start being more careful when doing patrols. I hope I'm wrong, but those black vans we keep seeing around Crown City...there is a good chance that it is a team that Team Prime thought was gone for good." he looked at his team, having his optics rest on Jetstorm and Slipstream, who were sitting closer to Drift then they normally do. "This team calls themselves MECH. They know about us and... attempt to capture us. Both Decepticons and Autobots. They would even go as far as to harm a fellow human just to get to us. They will hunt down anyone who they think as an easy target, or go as far as to build a replica of one of us and use it to their advantage." Bee continued "We thought they were gone for good after they attempted to get information from one of our human allies, by capturing their guardian."

"Who was the human?" Grim asked "and who was the bot?"

"The bots name was WheelJack." Bee said

"Wait they captured the wrecker WheelJack." Sideswipe asked

Bee nodded his head

"How did he get captured?"

Strongarm attempted to answer for BumbleBee "He was protecting his charge, Sideswipe, fallowing

protocal."

"Actually cadet, WheelJack rarely followed protocol, in fact, MECH ambushed them and since they were humans he did not want to hurt them. His charge was also putting up fight. When we figured out that they were in trouble we found her crumpled on the ground unconscious."

"Who?" Grim asked

Bee gave a sad smile "WheelJAck's charge. SHe was out for hours, we were about ready to call for the Nurse that knew about us when she woke up. Told us all that happened." he refrained from mentioning their names, as if once he said their names they would appear out of nowhere.

"So, if human children could take them down then we can totally handle this Bee." Sideswipe said

Shaking his head he said "Not really. They underestimated them. Underestimated how smart they were in Arcee and her human partners case. They thought that he would just do as they said. instead he grabbed one of their radios and then ran off and called or back up. In WheelJack and his human partner's case, they were not expecting her to actually kick the gun from their leaders hand. As he aimed it at Optimus."

"So, we are to keep our optics open for them?" Drift questioned

Bee nodded "That and proceed with caution, at best it could be the government that helped out Team Prime, I'm only warning you guys incase it is the worst case scenario. You can tell if it is them because they wear masks that...well..I'll show you later."

"We saw a girl with a blue visor in the forest." Jetstorm said

"Think she has something to do with MECH?" Slipstream asked

Looking at the two minicons Bee shrugged "Depends. What did she look like?"

"We did not see her face." Jetstrom replied sadliy

"Though we believe she is as tall as us." Slipstream added "We did not get many details, a branch broke off the tree we were on and she ran off, we followed her, but she ran faster than us somehow. After she entered a clearing it seemed as if she knew she was being followed and waited for something to come out and fight."

"Since we did not come out she ran off." Jetstorm finished

"If her face was covered ho do you know that human was a girl?" Sideswipe asked

"Her jacket said 'Girl's track team', Sideswipe." Jetstorm answered

Bee was glad everyone's attention was on the minicons. His face would have given away that there was a possibility of him knowing that human. As fast if not faster than Cybertronians, ready to fight a foe that could have tossed a huge branch at her, on a track team. He had to remind himself that their are tons of other girls that are quick on track teams. She even said that she was nt as fast as the people in the olympics.

#####

It surprised Jetstorm and Slipstream that Drift had let them out alone. So far he had accompanied them on their patrols and walks. It had been a few months since BumbleBee had told them about MECH, they had seen the girl on occasions, seeing her face but never her eyes or hair. Her eyes were hidden behind visor sunglasses, and her hair was always pulled up inside a hat.

Drift had told them to be careful and back after a brief walk in the surrounding forest. They had gotten to the small clearing that had been made to tell them it was time to turn round. Hearing sticks and leaves crunch under feet made them turn around quickly, for a brief second they had hoped that it was Drift coming to check on them, or had followed them. When they saw nothing it scared them.

"C-Come Out!" Jetstorm called out "Who a-are you?"

Slipstream added "W-We mean you no harm."

####

The girl had been following what she believed to be younglings for an hour. MECH was hunting down Cybertronians again and she wanted to make sure that they get home. She only wanted to keep an eye on them and mentally scolding herself for not only making a rookie mistake, but for scarring the two of them.

Taking a deep breathe she prepared to enter the opening in the forest holding her gloved hands up she opened her mouth only to hear to screams of pain.

Backing up against the tree again she peeked around the tree she was leaning on and saw agents of MECH and two downed Autobot younglings. They loaded them up into a nearby van. The girl ran forward following the car, while she could keep up, the human knew that she could be spotted. Turning on her phone she called a familiar number

"What's wrong.."

"I need your help. How fast can you get to Crown City with a ship?" She cut him off

"Depends. How fast do you need us."

"Now?" She asked as she ran.

"See you soon."
