Mentions of slash between Cybertronians.

At least one important OC.

Cursing.

General teenage themes.

A Gothic girl who is violent, can be a total bitch, and something like mutant abilities, but isn't mutant abilities.

Possible OOC-ness, but I will try to keep that to a minimum.

Is that all? I think so. If you don't like any of the things mentioned above, kindly click the back button. Consider yourself warned.

Danger is My Middle Name

Chapter 2

Lae...was beyond furious. She was not some whimp to be ordered around! She was a Freak, a very powerful Freak! No one messes with the Puppetmaster! She stomped down the street, fully aware of the killing aura around her because people were avoiding her. It was nice to know that some people recognized her power.

She continued walking, fully enjoying the fact that everyone went out of their way to avoid her. However, when a red-headed girl who looking like her total opposite didn't get out of her way, instead of being polite, or moving around the red-head, Lae shoved her aside as she was walking, muttering, "Out of my way, Princess!" The girl stumbled and just barely managed to stay upright, glaring at Lae as she walked past her, seeming blissfully unaware of the killing aura that Lae was oh-so proud of.

"Why don't you watch where you're going? Rude much?" Lae froze at the girl's words, and if it was possible, she became even more angry. Her left eye twitched as she struggled to contain her anger, which was completely not like her. Finally she gave up on self-control and spun towards the other girl, instantly entering her mind and taking control of her.

The girl froze up, her eyes wide with panic when she found herself unable to move as Lae stepped closer to her and hissed, "Don't talk to me like that, human. I can make you kill yourself. I can make you suffer, or trap you in a coma, turn your own mind into your worst nightmare, and I have no qualms against doing so. I suggest you watch what you say to me before I turn your life into Hell on Earth."

Lae would have continued with her threats, but once again, that same person who always ruined life for her decided to show up and try to control her, "Lae! What did I say? I told you to go home! You've caused enough trouble!" Reginald grabbed his sister's arm and yanked her away from the terrified red-head. Green eyes blazing with fury and hate met calm brown eyes.

She was at the end of her admittedly small amount of patience. Reginald was always trying to control her, take the fun out of her life, giving her that calm stare that just seemed to look into her very soul and declare her a devil. She hated that stare! How could he, her own brother, give her that reproachful look? How could he look at her and declare her unworthy of life? She knew what he thought of her. He thought she was evil, heartless, insane. His cold brown eyes looked into her own, and saw into her soul, searing that hate into her, making her feel useless. All Lae's life, Reginald had been there, hovering over her, watching her every move, judging her, and not in a good way.

She was sick of it; enough was enough.

Lae dropped the red-head's mind and jumped into her brother's.

Instead of going for the "motor functions" Lae sent a simple thought into his mind, Die.

Die, he did. Reginald's grip on her arm went slack, and he fell to the ground in a heap. As Lae withdrew from his silent, unresponsive mind, her eyes cleared, and the hate and anger induced fog over her mind faded away, leaving only horror in its place. She had just...no...NO! She hadn't meant it, it wasn't supposed to work, that wasn't supposed to happen, she didn't...No.

Panic, fear, and sadness all overcame her, and without looking at the shocked red-head, the shocked witness, she fled. She ran as fast as she could, which was actually pretty fast, and didn't bother to watch where she was going. She didn't care where she ended up at this point in time. Lae wanted to run as far as she could, and then run some more. Running would make it all better. Running would help. She could out-run her crimes, out-run her own evil.

Maybe all those people were right. She was evil! And this wasn't the first time she'd killed someone either, but it was the first time she'd killed someone with every intention of doing so, and to make things worse, the one she had wanted to kill was her own brother!

She ran on.

A sign flashed past, happily saying, You're now leaving Jasper. Come back soon!

She didn't care that she was leaving town; she ran out into the desert, slowing down once far enough away until she stopped, and doubled over, placing her hands on her knees and trying to catch her breath. As she stood there, trying to catch her breath and staring at the black pavement at her feet, she heard a car engine behind her. Slowly standing up straight, she glanced behind her.

A strange purple car was rolling up beside her. It looked kind of out-of-place in the dull town, and had an almost Gothic look. It was cool, but something about it seemed off. The windows were heavily tinted until practically pitch black, as though the driver wanted to hide something.

The car stopped and simply sat there for a moment, as though waiting for something. Starting to feel unnerved, Lae turned around and started walking farther into the desert. The car's engine rumbled to life and followed. Feeling seriously creeped out now, Lae started running again, and the car followed. Glancing back, Lae saw something that would probably be forever burned into her memory. The car burst apart with a squeal of metal, the plating shifting until it formed a bipedal man-like robot.

"Shit!" Lae shouted, and started running faster, hoping to get away. The robot fired a shot with its laser, and the pavement in front of Lae exploded, causing Lae to stop lest she fall into the hole now in the middle of the road. Lae spun around, knowing she would have to fight, and try to use her powers. Would it work? Do robots even have brains?

Pulse.

Lae sent her powers out, and sensed something new. The robot did not function the way a human brain might, but she could get a basic understanding. There was a central unit that controlled everything, and many other electrical components she didn't understand. The basic was to use common sense. What turns off a computer? Shut down.

That was all it took. The central unit stalled, slowly turning everything off, until finally, it was like a switch was flipped to the "off" position. The robot fell to the ground, its once glowing red optics now dark. Lae stared at the motionless thing for a moment, and then smiled, throwing her fist into the air and shouting, "Yeah! That's why I'm the Puppetmaster! You don't do anything I don't approve of now! In your face, you stupid robot!"

"Oh, very good. You've managed to kill a non-sentient drone. How would you do against me, I wonder?" Shocked, Lae looked around for the owner of the smooth, accented voice. Seeing no one around, Lae risked a glance up.

Hovering just above her, was another robot, this one a blue and gold color with wings. Confident, Lae tried to pull the same trick with this robot, and screamed at what hit her, grabbing her head as agony washed over her. Her head pounded in her skull, feeling as though it was trying to break out. Assaulted by memories and emotions, Lae fell into a confused daze. These memories weren't hers; she'd never had a twin. She'd never been in emotional torment. Yet suddenly she had no idea what was her and what was this strange robot. It was like she was him there for a split second, before she retreated from his mind. That had never happened before, and she had no idea what to do.

The pain was overwhelming, she was defenseless, she had murdered her own brother, and now the robot stood over her, smirking. Unable to take the stress, Lae blacked out.

That is chapter two, with a little bit of a cliff-hanger there! So, love it, hate it, what do you really think? Review please!
