Writing Prompts

"Black Betty" - Ram Jam

Need For Speed

What was a normal everyday drive for the two turned into something she dreaded the most. Every time Sunstreaker took her for a drive she felt an itch in her chest. She scratched at it, never knowing what it was but now as he went onto the highway, and the bond opened more her hunch turned into truth.

Her chest burned just as his did. The speed and the rush of the highway. All that power being expelled.

"Have you ever ran from the police before?" He hummed.

"No.." Felicity widened her eyes sitting up straighter in the passenger seat. His holoform dissipated in light particles. "Sunstreaker don't you fucking dare." She hissed.

"I'm bored." Sunstreaker said in a flat tone as if it were an enough excuse. She was buckled into the seat tightly. The windows were pulled up, gears shifted as his alien engine rumbled. "There's one up there." He purred. The paddles on either side of the steering wheel moved and flicked. A light on the center dash flicked from Strata to Corsa.

Being a, bluntly speaking, girlfriend to a Lamborghini required her to read up on the half a million dollar vehicle he chose as an alt form. She flicked her eyes to the glowing dash. "I will not be put in jail because of you!"

Corsa was not a mode for the faint of heart. She was no car enthusiast, but control went from the machine to the driver, strictly. The paddles were used to manually shift gears. He himself was legitimately driving himself. She trusted him with her life but knowing when to shift gears was such a human invention. Could his frame deal with such alien techniques? Excitment along with mischievous excitement coursed through the bond. She tried to ignore it.

"Windows are tinted. They will never know it's you." His nanobots did their job, erasing numbers and letters off his license plate and turned his color from yellow to a deep red.

"License plate…?" She whined.

"I erased it."

"I will have a heart attack."

"Unlikely."

"What if we-?"

He himself and not his engine, growled, the shift moving and clicking behind the steering wheel. Another sound of whining. He was climbing into the higher digits. A howl declared the power behind his alien engine. Her heart flutter. Her hands clutched the leather of the seat as she was pressed into it slowly.

"Finish that and I will purposely get caught." His voice rumbled in warning from the dash.

Felicity gripped her sunhat as he took off, engine roaring. With each gear shift she jolted forward. His engine growled respectively in challenge. She glanced over to the electronic dash. As his engine compensated to better accommodate the speed he was achieving, the needle jumped downwards and back up. It climbed...then jolted to the left then back to the right.

She watched as the cruiser came and then went, too fast for her head to turn. "Oh my god, Sunstreaker I swear to god-ah!"

He suddenly shifted lanes cutting in-between two cars. He did it again, jolting the human in his cabin to lose her hat. She took her aviators off and glared at the dash.

A low rumble and then growl. Another shift in gear. The electric wine of the spoiler engaging in the back made her turn around. Behind them were flashing lights. She was terrified. "I am so breaking up with you as soon as we get home!" She yelled. More of his excitement was overriding her panic. Secretly she didn't mind...

His vicious V-12 engine burbled a warning, before rocketing ahead, past a car that hocked its horn in a diapering screech.

"See? I told you. They can barely keep up." The paddles shifted and his speed decreased only so much. The bastard was teasing them!

"Sunstreaker, I swear to god!" Her heart was racing and there was a curl to her lips she hadn't noticed before. She was grinning like a mad woman. It was too hard to resist his part of the bond enveloping her own.

The patrol vehicle caught up to them and in the rear view she could see the human driving and concentrating with all his might. He had a radio receiver pressed to his lips. She barked out a laugh. She was a criminal. She was a partner in crime!

They would never keep up with Sunstreaker. Primus on high he was a fraggin' alien. He was the damned car!

"Sunny..." Her voice was giddy. "Do...do it again." Her voice cracked.

Sunstreaker's voice wasn't her reply but another babble of his engine compensating power and building up speed was. She had to be hearing things because it almost sounded like he barked a laugh. Slowly the engine grew louder and louder, tipping the scales once again. Meanwhile, Felicity's heart was practically in her throat as she laughed in hysterical fear and glee.

She clutched the seat harshly as he wove in between traffic and past cars that came and went too fast for her to keep up. Her innards felt like she was on the most intense roller coaster ever.

Her pulse grew hotter and her mind only focused on that engine that made her deaf and do funny things to her heart and body. The bond was ecstatic.

Thankfully, when the police car was way past their vision did they make it off the highway and back into rural areas. His engine growled proudly as he came to a very slow stop on the side of the road. His normal gold color bled through the red and a different license plate number scrawled across the white metal. Felicity sat in the passenger seat shifting forward just a bit, as he finally halted. She stared ahead.

Sunstreaker's holoform appeared in the driver's seat, his chest rising and falling as if he had ran a marathon. His hair was pulled back in a messy bun and the smile that was across his lips was ready to explode. A giddy laugh escaped him as he punched her shoulder in gleeful fun.

She numbly looked over at him, her hair a mess and legs feeling like lead. She watched him with sparkling eyes, still wide and dilated. He still panted for air as he laughed.

"Primus, I wasn't even going that fast!" He declared.

Felicity reached forward and yanked him by his bun in defiance.
