Finding out Secrets
"How's Bumblebee doing?" Frenzy heard Sam ask. His voice had the sound of concern in it.
"Oh, he's ready for a test drive, I do believe," Ratchet's voice replied. She could hear the humor in the medic's voice as the sound of metal patting metal could be heard. Most likely, the medic patting his patient as he nodded to the human, Frenzy deducted as she resisted the urge to roll her optics. Autobot medics were pushovers, if he were a Decepticon medic; there would be a violent shove out of his way instead of a gentle pat. Ah, she was missing the good old days already!
The sounds of a mech getting up were quickly followed by light mech feet walking towards them. "So, where do you want to go?" a youthful sounding mech voice asked.
She felt Sam move, walking towards Bumblebee even as the sounds of his transformation filled her audios. "I dunno, wanna just cruise?" Sam's voice asked. The sound of a car door opening, then Frenzy felt weight on top of her, as the human sat down.
"Now you don't go and overdo it youngster!" Ratchet's voice hollered at them as they drove out of the warehouse. Truly pathetic! Frenzy snorted in her mind. Acting like their warriors were nothing more than mere sparklings! Decepticons could care less, once you were repaired; you went back to the front lines – period.
"I need to get this outta my pocket, it's killing my ass!" Sam grumbled. Frenzy felt fingers around her as she was pulled out of his pocket and set down in an empty drink holder. She was quite pleased, since now she could also get a visual of the situation. Granted, she really didn't want to know what that stickiness beneath her was. She felt her core rising in disgust at how nasty this Autobot allowed himself to get because of these pathetic flesh creatures!
"Ahh, much better! You got any cool tunes Bumblebee?" the boy asked as he grinned at the steering wheel.
The mech put something on the radio, the blaring high-ends and low-ends piercing Frenzy's sensitive audios. Dampening her data inflow levels, she compensated for the obnoxious noise by reducing her sensitivity to it. She was amazed that these frequencies weren't blowing the yellow mech's own audios!
They drove around for a while, with Sam showing Bumblebee all the 'cool spots' in his town. Stopping briefly at a drive through, the boy got himself some of that organic goo that these humans needed for sustenance. Frenzy was forced to lower her Olfactory Sensor sensitivity levels as well, for she found the scent of this organic mess fairly repulsive. But yet again, the Autobot didn't seem to be bothered in the least, as the human stuffed the noxious stuff into his mouth.
"Hey, why don't we pick up Mikaela?" Sam asked Bumblebee. Frenzy groaned internally, for now she'd have to put up with two of the obnoxious creatures – instead of one!
The Autobot turned down a few streets, while the boy stuffed all of his food trash into its bag. Frenzy watched him in silent amusement as he seemed to be checking himself for scuff marks in Bumblebee's rearview mirror.
Sam picked her up and flipped her open, dialing Mikaela's phone number. As his greasy fingers spread the rather disgusting organic molecules of his meal all over her, Frenzy had to fight her natural inclination to transform and kick his aft for the perceived insult to her finish. The close up exhalation of yet more of those 'chili' molecules into her receiver added yet more insult to injury. Shutting off her olfactory sensors completely, Frenzy promised herself she'd one day get even with the rude human.
Bumblebee stopped and opened his passenger door, and the female called 'Mikaela' slid in, her heels clicking softly on the floorboards and a little too close for comfort as far as Frenzy was concerned. For now her olfactory sensors were abused with the over stimulation from this human female's perfume; which was far worse than the male's scent! How these flesh creatures thought this was 'attractive' was beyond her comprehension!
"So where're we going?" she asked Sam as she slid her seatbelt on, a soft smile planted on her pouty lips. Her eyes hinted at her true thoughts.
Sam set Frenzy back in the drink holder. Shrugging, he grinned at the female, "I don't know, where do you want to go?"
Frenzy thought of a good answer: Straight to the end of the docks and tie cement blocks to your freagin legs while you're at it! But unfortunately, she couldn't tell the idiotic human that.
"Well, there's a cool movie playing at the old drive in that they just re-opened. Want to go?" the girl murmured, a glint in her eye that just whispered trouble.
Sam slapped Bumblebee's steering wheel as excitement buzzed through his body along with rabid teenage hormones. Not that he was going to tell Bumblebee that. "Hey, you ever seen a movie Bumblebee?"
"What's that?" the mech asked innocently, not catching the taunting grins that were thrown between the two humans.
The two humans exchanged a humorous glance this time, and then Mikaela leaned forward, her hair falling forward in a wave. "It's like a visual and audio recording of an imaginary story, where humans pretend that it's real. They're called actors."
"Oh, so it's not real?"
Sam grinned at Mikaela. "Nope, it's just for entertainment. Like, to waste some time for a while."
"So you just waste time and watch a recording of an imaginary situation?" the mech sounded confused. Granted, Frenzy was even more confused as she listened, for it was completely illogical to 'waste time' in this manner.
"Pretty much, but it's fun!" Mikaela said.
"Ok, I like fun," Bumblebee told her.
Frenzy wanted to slap some sense in the stupid Autobot's mainframe! Sloggers, did he REALLY think it'd be 'fun' to waste time in such an illogical fashion?!
So Sam told him where to go; and the Autobot began to drive them there.
Frenzy did not understand these Autobots' tolerance in the least. Decepticons never lowered themselves to this level of being used as a mere transport device. It was far beneath them, since these humans were so technologically primitive compared to them. This made her wonder about their potential value as mates for her. For she didn't want her future sparklings to turn into idiots like this; but beggars couldn't be choosers – and these damned dolts were the only mech males around!
Perhaps, now that she might possibly be the last femme in existence – and the Autobots the only faction with available males – she should learn more about them? Regardless of if she liked it or not. This was the talent that Frenzy and her sisters had developed to a very fine art indeed! They were able to connect to a mech and download what they needed, without the mech ever knowing it. And they were able to do this without revealing that they were femmes. They never allowed their victim's spark to even sense theirs, even as they pushed through it to get to their memory banks.
So she began to beep the cell phone alert for a 'low battery'. She snickered mischievously in her meta even as she did it.
"Damnit! I thought I had this thing on the charger last night," Sam's voice said. Frenzy felt him pick her up. Then she was flipped open as he looked at how much battery was left. Frenzy made sure to display that she was almost 'dead'. The boy groaned in total disgust as he roughly shut the phone.
"Just plug it in. A little battery like that ain't nothin'," Bumblebee's voice offered.
"Ok, Bumblebee, are you sure?" asked the boy in an uncertain tone. He didn't know if it would hurt the young mech, but he had a feeling that it would at least be invading personal space. Oh well, if 'Bee said it was okay, than it must. Who was he to tell a two-ton walking car it was wrong?
"Go for it, would hate for you to miss a call."
Frenzy grinned inside as she felt the charging cable plugged into her. These humans and Autobots were so damned gullible! When the other end connected to the Autobot, she began her information gathering; sorting through file after file, looking at personnel, future plans, etc. Within a few seconds, she had the information she needed. But then she sensed something strange about the mech's spark
"Man, your phone is pulling more off than I thought. Is it charged yet?" Bumblebee's voice interrupted Frenzy's thoughts.
She was picked up and flipped open again. This time she decided to show a three-quarter charge. "Good enough until we get home I guess…" Sam's voice replied as he disconnected the power line.
Frenzy felt herself being set back down into the empty drink holder. Then, as they continued to drive, she went back to her contemplation of the unexpected sensation.
As she'd been taught, she listed a few things in her Meta:
One: Bumblebee's spark didn't feel like the other mechs she'd downloaded off of.
Two: Bumblebee seemed like a young male mech.
Three: According to the amount of memory files in him, Bumblebee had too long of a lifespan to still appear this young.
Four: The only other mech she'd ever sensed this type of spark energy from – was her sister, Rumble.
After going through her list twice, there was only one logical conclusion. Bumblebee was in fact a disguised Autobot femme!
Frenzy found this fact rather intriguing, for now that she'd found another femme, there was still the possibility that others had survived. And besides self-preservation, sex preservation was of the utmost importance to the femmes. For without either of these, species preservation – was doomed! So, the yellow femme was a possible future ally.
She wondered why the yellow femme continued to stay in such a small chassis. For this would not help the cause of the femmes in their future 'negotiations' if they were so physically weak, that the males could simply come in, grab them and rape them at their leisure. But perhaps Bumblebee had a reason that she couldn't decipher.
Grinning to herself, Frenzy couldn't wait until she had her new chassis. Then she'd get this femme to join her! For two standing together, could accomplish far more than negotiating separately.
