Before we get started...I kind of don't like the title I've given this story. It was a last minute thing. If anyone can give me a better title for this, it would be greatly appreciated and I will repay you in art or writing :3
Which ever works best for you.

This story is basically about my bounty hunter OC's past. How she became a bounty hunter and ended up joining the Decepticons. My boyfriend and I worked on this for a while. Finished it months ago and I finally decided to be brave and post it here for everyone to read.
Instead of using regular transformers, we used Pretenders, because they're kind of easier to handle...kind of. For now, just bare with us. We've wrote this (like I said) months ago, so it's not perfect. Apologies for any grammical errors

Enjoy~

Lockdown sighed quietly as he finished another cube of high grade energon. He just finished capturing another bounty and just wanted, no, needed another drink. "Barkeep, another high grade" he called out as the barkeeper nodded in response "Sure thing, Lockdown" the bounty hunter couldn't help but chuckle a little. He's come here so many times that even the bar keeper knew who he was. Tonight was a busy night...so no one even noticed as a green haired child, no older than six years old, peaked inside. Curious red eyes scanned the place, looking for their next target and catching sight of one of the customers just receiving another cube of energon. He wouldn't need it...she needed it more than him. With her target in sight, the child carefully and quietly walked into the bar, avoiding being seen by anyone. Once she was directly under the customer's table, she looked up, seeing that he was focused on the news and events happening around Cybertron. 'Perfect opportunity.'

As the bounty hunter reached down to pick up the cube, it was quickly snatched from the table, surprising Lockdown "What the-" quickly glancing around the place, he saw the door quickly close and a blur of green "Son of a- Get back here thief!" Lockdown quickly took chase after the person who stole his energon. Luckily the streets weren't too crowded tonight and he caught sight of the person running into an alley way "I've got you now"

He turned into the alley with a smirk, seeing the thief was cornered with nowhere to run. "Now I believe you have something of mines." the thief hesitated a little as she turned to face the bounty hunter, the cube still firmly in her grasp "What do you need it for? I need it more than you do"

"What the-...But you're just a kid. Do you know what high grade will do to you? Stunt your growth, melt your processor...at this age at least" Lockdown stated with a slight glare "Where your folks?"

"Folks...? If you mean my parents, I don't have any" the child replied as she took a sip of the high grade. The bounty hunter glared as he went over to her and snatched the cube back "Hey!?"

"What do you mean you don't have parents? Everyone has a mother and father"

"Hmph. I don't. One day they just...disappeared. I've been on my own since then" the child explained, moving some of her dark green hair out of her gaze "Now give that back. Like I said, I need it more than you do. I'm the one that's starving" she added. Lockdown rolled his eyes as he glanced away, ignoring the child for the moment. 'No parents, huh? Can't help but wonder how she survives out here on her own...probably by doing the same to others like she's done to me. Still...if all she's just been drinking is high grade, can't be good for her...'

"Are you even listening to me?!" the child nearly screamed "If you don't give that back I'll...I'll cry and attract a crowd and you'll be arrested"

"Alright, alright. Listen...why don't I...watch over you for the time being...If you don't get on my nerves, maybe I'll think about taking care of you" Lockdown replied, turning his attention back to the child. She tilted her head a little as she looked the bounty hunter over "I don't know...you don't seem like dad material"

"If you come along with me, there will be plenty of energon" he replied, catching the child's attention "Energon?~" at the thought of getting just one cube, it made the girl's stomach growl as she blushed in embarrassment "Sounds like you could use it too"

The child glared at Lockdown as she glanced away with a pout. "Fine...I don't see why not"

"Good...I see some potential in you as well...Fast little girl you are...and tough. I can see it in your eyes" Crisis blushed a light pink and continued to pout at the bounty hunter "So what...?"

"Hm...Maybe once you're older, I'll train you to be a bounty hunter"

"A...bounty hunter...? Sounds dangerous" the child stated with a curious expression. Lockdown merely shrugged "But the pay is nice...when it suits me. Now, come on then. What's your name?"

"My name...?" the green haired child replied with a tilt of her head as Lockdown sighed quietly "Don't tell me you don't even have a name"

"I have a name! It's um...Crisis..."

"Crisis? Hm...I guess it suits you. Especially once you start the bounty hunting job. Come on, I'll see if I can get the bar keeper to get you a small cube of low grade" the bounty hunter replied as he started making his way out the alley. Crisis smiled as she followed after him, glancing up at him "So...what's your name?"

"Lockdown"

"Lockdown...That's a weird name for a bounty hunter" Crisis stated as Lockdown shook his head "I've earned my name. You'll see soon enough" the child looked at Lockdown curiously before nodded with a small smile. As they walked back into the bar, the bounty hunter paid for his two cubes of high grade and bought a small low grade for Crisis. The child was obviously grateful as she took a hesitant sip of the energon, saying that it tasted much better than high grade. Lockdown couldn't help but laugh a little at that. It's just like he thought. High grade wasn't good for a child her age after all. It's only natural that she would like low grade better.

It was getting late though...a kid like her shouldn't stay up too late...
'Guess I'll take her back to my ship'
