So Alive: 2 Oh. God. No.
The rain had long since stopped and Ash was waiting for a taxi to take her home.
"Lieutenant Lennox!" Ash turned as a man ran up to her.
"What is it?" she asked.
"The C-Captain wants to see you!"
Ash's face scrunched up.
"Where?"
"In the parking lot."
Ash was walking to the parking lot when she heard a honk. A black GMC TopKick truck pulled up and Will Lennox stuck his head out.
"Ash, you didn't forget about dinner did you?"
Oh right, Will have asked her to come to dinner.
"Yes." She said bluntly.
"Ah, always to the point."
"I'm being frank with you."
".. Yea.. Hop in."
Ash was sitting in the passenger seat of the large black truck. Big and black. She remembered the old red truck he used to have. This truck seemed normal, but something was different.. alive almost.
"When did you get this one?" she asked pointing to the dashboard of the truck.
"Ah... Uh, last week."
Ash nodded, "It's nice."
Will laughed, "What's with you? You usually don't say anything, unless the car is fast."
Ash shook her head, "I'm a mechanic too, Will, I know a good machine when I see one." she frowned and touched the seat next to her, "But.. This one.. It's like it's alive."
Ash felt the belt choke her as the car screeched to a stop under a red light.
"What in the wor- Will!"
Will was staring at her, shock over his face.
"Will.. The light is green, ... are you alright Will?"
The seat belt tugged on Will and relaxed.
"Uh.. Yeah, my bad, Ash."
"Are you sure? Pull over and I'll check on your car."
"Ah! No, foot just slipped. Car's fine. Plus, having a girl check on a man's car is sad."
She stared at him blankly.
"I'll check it when we get to your place," she drawled.
The car started abruptly and Ash hit the back of her chair.
"Will!"
"Uh.."
"That was so not a slip of the foot!"
Will mumbled something to himself, something with "hide" in it.
When they reached the house, Will let out a series of curses under his breath.
Parking in his lawn was a yellow Fire and Rescue H2 Hummer and a yellow Chevrolet Camaro with black stripes.
Ash frowned at the rescue vehicle.
"Is something wrong Will?"
Will shut the door and frowned.
"There had better be," he mumbled to himself just as Ash jumped out of the car.
Ash ran past the Camaro to the ambulance.
'She's going to find out,' he thought and ran after her.
As Ash ran to the Rescue-H2 Hummer, the door opened and a man stepped out.
"Is something wrong sir?" she asked.
The man shook his head, causing some of his dirty blonde hair to fall over his, almost, glowing blue eyes. He was in black slacks and a long-sleeved, white button up shirt. He had a thin pair of glasses perched on his head, and on his shoulders a white coat.
"Just come to visit a friend," his eyes scanned over her... like they were scanning her.
"You are Captain Lennox's blood relative."
"Uh.. yes."
"Siblings, Ashlyn Sonata Lennox."
"Um.. Yeah...?" Ash said a little freaked how this man knew her.
"That's me, and you are?"
"Ratchet."
"Ratchet...?" she said confused.
"Ah, um Ash, why don't you go inside!"
Ash frowned, but complied and turned around to the house.
Will sighed as he was faced in Ratchet's direction.
"Why and how are you here?" he asked.
Ratchet was about to reply, but Will turned away from him abruptly.
"Yep, my name is Bumblebee!"
Oh.God.No.
A man younger than Ratchet was walking his baby sister into the house.
From what he could see, the man had bright blonde hair. And was wearing loose jeans, a yellow racing jacket zipped all the way up with two black stripes going down on the sleeves and the word Bumblebee written on his back , and yellow converse. He noticed a red insignia on the back, and recognized it as a red Autobot symbol.
He seemed really excited to see Ash.
A cough caught Will Lennox's attention.
"Ah.. Ratchet.."
Ratchet nodded his head.
"You know your sister was with the Sector 7 incident, correct?"
Will nodded slowly, this did not seem like it was going too well.
"Yeah, she told me last week, when they were disbanded, but she told me she didn't tell me anything about the transformers."
"Well, there's something that you will need to know about her, and we may need her for a short period of time."
