Notes:
Mika realized just what she asked the autobot leader and is mortified, will she and the prime have normalcy in their relationship or did everything go down now that she knows. Also I am aware that a black bird is a very fast re-con airplane, but in my mind it's a fighter jet :P.
"blabla" = thought
""blabla"" = COM speak
"blabla"= normal speak
Chapter 2: You told her what?!
"You told her what?!" the medic exclaimed optics wide. Optimus murmured something about not being able not being able to stop an overload this time and not wanting to lie to the femme.
"I know you are an honorable mech optimus but humans are delicate creatures, what if she files a complaint? Tells her superior that you accosted her?" The medic said having read on medical-a lot- of files from base and it contained at least 100 complaints of sexual harassment.
The semi narrowed his optics "she would not do that Ratchet, you know her" he scolded the medic and flared out his plating some in displeasure, his EM field tight to himself.
Ratchet put his hands up and shrugged. "You don't know that prime, we don't expect her to but that doesn't mean she will not. We have been -disappointed- by the human race before." He said carefully.
Optimus nodded carefully conceding to the statement but still not believing Mika would do such a thing unless it were true. Now he felt doubtful, did she feel accosted by him? By primus he hoped not, that had never been his intention. The prime had honestly wanted to inform the small femme.
"I will need to speak with her" he rumbled smiling as he saw the medic nod in approval. "Thank you old friend, for your good advice as always" he spoke gently extending his field to brush against the ill-bedside mannered Ratchet and almost purred as the medic leaned into the field and plating flared out in pleasure.
"Most welcome optimus" he said in a gentle tone "now go and stop a possible catastrophe from happening, we wouldn't want the humans to ban us do we?" the medic said almost playfully.
The Prime chuckled and shook his helm, that would not happen. They had a good collaboration with the humans now. He was sure of it. Now, he had to find the little femme, she was most likely in her berth room, walking straight towards it waiving off other attempts of people and mech trying to speak with him he stopped in front of the door. His spark fluttered almost nervously in his chest and his optic ridges went up in a frown. What was with him? He had no reason to be nervous. This was Mika, the femme who saved him by blasting Starscream from his trajectory while he himself was fighting Megatron.
No other had managed hit the jet as they had all been taken out and he knew the SIC was very-very angry at being seriously damaged by a human. No, no reason to be nervous, he was prime after all, so he activated his Holloform worried he might accidently take out the door if he used his root form and knocked.
Mika had ran straight to her room, normally soldiers stayed in barracks but because there were so little female soldiers on NEST base, they got their own room and thank whatever god there was for that. She didn't feel like answering a million questions about what was going on, and why her face resembled a tomato. She was in full blown denial, she did NOT just ask Optimus prime, Commander of the autobots, top dog of the base if he ever orgasmed while she washed him. She did NOT, no nope nada. Threading her hands trough her hair she gave a frustrated scream while tugging at her hair. This was not happening. "Oh I feel so mortified" she groaned and hid her face with her hands as she crashed on her bed.
Right when she calmed down somewhat she heard a knock on the door and moved her face from the pillow. "Who is it" she said as calm as possible but when she heard who it was she had to stop herself from groaning outload."Optimus here, I would like to speak with you" came the rumble on the other side.
"No need Optimus, I erm.. I will see you tomorrow!" she said cheerfully and clenched her eyes closed as she felt another wave of embarrassment go over her. But ofcourse the prime did not relent, he may seem friendly but when he wanted something, he made sure he got his way, one way or another.
"Mika please, I merely wish to speak with you, allow me entrance" he rumbled softly knowing she could hear him.
Mika's face got redder after hearing the dubious ending of the last line. Uugh me and my dirty mind. She thought, she was still thinking about what to say when Optimus solved that for her.
"We can discuss it here, but I rather have it more…private.." he said in a serious tone. Bluffing, Mika thought and narrowed her eyes, surely the always pristine leader wouldn't- her train of thought was cut off as she heard Optimus beginning to, rather loudly, start up the happenings of before.
Scrambling to the door she nearly tripped over the table as she slammed into the door before opening it quickly "Optimus, what a -pleasant- surprise, please do come in" she said between her teeth allowing him entrance.
The autobot commanders holloform was impressive, muscled, tall, brown hair and radiant blue eyes and He held himself regally, an authoritative air surrounding him as he walked up to her.
Swallowing nervously, she did a few steps back seeing the blue eyes bore into her. He looked calm enough. When the door closed, and he practically towered over her she finally looked the other in the eyes and bit her lower lip nervously, all nervousness disappeared however when he spoke.
"I am sorry" he rumbled "I believe I made you very uncomfortable and for that I am asking your forgiveness, I did not mean to and I hope you will not -file a complaint-" he said pausing having to look up the term from his conversation with Ratchet.
Mika's mouth dropped open in surprise as she realized what he just said. He looked remorseful as his blue eyes dropped to stare at the ground, his fists clenched. He truly thought he had accosted her? Snapping out of her confusion she felt her heart swell some, what a gentlemen.
"Optimus" she began gently taking his large hand in hers trying to make the other look at her in the eye. When he finaly did she gave a smile. "I'm the one have accosted you" she said " I washed you and touched certain area's that were apparently very sensitive so if anyone should file a complaint its you" she said.
"I would not do this Mika" he said allowing and gently stroked his thumb over Mika's small hand reveling the touch. "And you did not, accost me" he reassured the small femme. "I merely wanted you to know, what your touch did to me" he said in a low voice.
"uugh Optimus, do you have any idea what your words do to my self-restraint?" she said smirking lightly regaining some of her cheekiness. "I'm sorry I embarrassed you with asking you, well, that question" she said shuffling her feet. "No, I was merely surprised" he said and they both fell silent.
Mika stared at the autobot leader and noticed how close they were, the holoform didn't breathe, which was uncanny but then again, his original form didn't either. The details were amazing, and she couldn't help but wonder if everything was so detailed.
Optimus saw her eyes glide over his holoform and noticed her breathing and heartrate pick up. He learned from his years on earth that this was not an illness, but an emotional reaction. Her pupils were dilated which indicated fear or arousal. He knew the spitfire femme in front of him did not fear him so that left the other option.
Outside the door the semi online root form of the Prime flared out his plating in pleasure at the thought.
His human hands clenched into fists briefly and he gave a sly smirk. "Mika, do you have any idea what that look does to my self-restraint?" he said almost playfully tossing the words she had spoken before back in her face before turning around on his heels and leaving the room before any of them could think and react to what had just been said.
Mika stood there gaping as a fish as she mulled over the others words. "Oh, game on prime" she said smirking before turning to get a much-needed shower.
Holoform optimus disappeared in a flurry of sparks as he was on the outside of Mika's room, the large mech's optics flaring bright blue before walking off. There seemed to be a light spring in his step and he could not remember feeling so light sparked since back in his days on Cybertron. Earth would be a lovely home indeed.
The next morning Mika had flight training, she was up and about early as always and practically bounced towards the hangar greeting the already busy Autobots. "Goodmorning all!" she said waiving and smiling at them. She received various greetings back ranging from a grunt to g'morning fleshy to the "Goodmorning Mika" from the Prime himself.
Her Commanding officer was standing at the pede's of the autobot leader, they had just finished discussing the exercise for today and were waiting for the pilots to arrive. Mika saluted and received a nod and a salute back, she was about to ask the plan when she heard the other group of pilots arriving. "Mika!" came an enthusiastic call from one of the group.
Smiling broadly "Tom!" she said as she was enveloped in a hug and lifted off the floor. "Put me down you oaf!" she said playfully and pushed the other away.
"Mika, is this human bothering you?" came the low rumble from Optimus. Looking up her smile faltered lightly as she saw the leaders serious glare towards the Tom. She frowned a bit "No Optimus, all is well, he is a good friend" she said and ignored the big mechs attitude for now as she patted the man in front of her on his shoulder. Tom was relatively short, you had to be when you were a fighter jet pilot, but still he was slightly taller then Mika herself.
"How have you been?" she asked as they walked off a bit. Optimus made a whuf sound as he pulled back, he looked affronted and twitched as he felt a big servo on his shoulder plates. "Don't make it to obvious Optimus" Ratchet said a smirk gracing his faceplates. Optimus faceplates quickly regained their neutral look, but he did not reply to his CMO's statement.
From the corner of his optic he saw Mika and the small group of pilots leave for the flight hangar, Mika turned and gave Optimus a wave which he returned with a small motion of his digits. His spark soared at the small gesture and followed Ratchet outside in a much better mood.
Mika walked towards her bird, her beautiful blackbird fighter jet. The black jet gleaming in the artificial light of the hangar. Nodding to the technician who finished the last maintenance on the jet she climbed in and strapped herself in, applying the oxygen mask and helm, her long braid sticking out from underneath the helmet. Performing the standard checks, she asked for permission to taxi to the short landing and take off strip off the base.
""Blackbird X-14 taxi to runway two-seven right via alpha two, bravo and delta, cross runway three-five"" she requested to the ground controller.
""Blackbird X-14 you are cleared for taxi and take off runway two-seven via alpha two, bravo delta, runway three five is cleared"". Mika gently rolled out and felt her heartbeat rise in excitement, how she loved flying. The rush, the speed, the power of the machine she was in. The hum of the thrusters felt like home.
She saw a few of the autobot's gathered outside and when she passed the group she gave a small wave before aligning her bird with the runway, running the piston engines at high power giving them a final check for engine trouble's. Satisfied with the results from her DEEC and SEC she connected with the tower and her flight mates ""blackbird X-14 ready for take off"" she said before removing the brakes and pushing forward full throttle. Ignoring the cursing she heard from her commanding officer that she took off before final approval.
"Whoooho!" she said smiling as she maneuvered the jet in the air, she knew that thanks to the ECS an oxygen mask wasn't required unless she would rise around 10.000 feet, but she always wore it in case of emergency.
""Blackbird, why do you keep annoying the shit out of our commander? Life is not fun like this you know"" came the whining voice of one of her wing mates. "Oh Larry please, you know he loves me" she said teasingly. ""I do not Vandetta, now focus on your drill"" came the rumble from her air commander from the ground.
Mika chuckled some ""roger that commander"" she said and banked to the right rolling the jet around in an impressive display of air aerobics.
""Jetblast X-12 here to Commander Ortega, are we practicing with the air force today -over-?"" came the cautious voice of Tom "" Negative Jetblast X-12, do not mess with me today -over-"" came the annoyed voice over their COM line. But Mika could hear the nervousness underneath the message.
Mika opened a general COM line towards the aircraft in front of them. ""Unidentified aircraft, you are in military airspace, Identify -over-"" she stated a nervous feeling creeping up on her. Something was off about this aircraft. "" Unidentified aircraft, Identify or you will be shot down -over-""she stated more threateningly, firmly grasping the joystick preparing to attack.
""Puny disgusting fleshy's ""came a familiar screechy voice over the COM. Mika's eyes widened ""Bogey bogey, it's Starscream!"" she said as she hurriedly banked to the left trying to get as much distance from the other as possible.
""You can not escape me femme, payback time"" he screeched trough their COM line as he banked as well. "Fuck" she cursed as she opened the thrusters to the max. ""Disband formation"" she merely shouted over the COM knowing Starscream would be listening in.
The other two jets split up leaving Starscream to fly right on Mika's tail. ""to bad you are human femme, I could have used a flyer like yourself in my aerial team."" The jet admitted with a sneer. ""keep dreaming screamer"" not knowingly using Starscreams most hated nickname, as she suddenly pulled the nose of the blackbird up, ignoring -bitchin betty- as they called the warning system as several warnings popped up telling her to lower the nose of the plane.
Mika twisted the plane in a corkscrew as she dived down before leveling out and firing one of the heat seekers. The missile was of course no match for the alien jet, especially now that he was fully focused on her.
""Nice try human but you will never hit me with those sorry excuses of weaponry"" he cackled. ""I did last time you arrogant twat"" she said smirking. ""Lucky shot"" came the short reply and she realized, had the other transformer not been an enemy she would have liked him.
Suddenly the jet in front of her twisted and dropped like a stone, as a missile barely missed the seekers wings. ""You little rat!"" came an infuriated screech as he turned and flew straight for the jet who had fired. Tom flew straight for Starscream firing another missile before banking to the side. The enemy jet twisted with him and transformed landing on top of Tom's fighterjet and ripping away the canopy.
"TOM" she shouted as she saw her wing mate manage to eject from the ripped-up plane. Starscream was about to grasp him but Mika fired her rounds. She only had a few seconds of firing before she would run out of ammo as the guns were only used if things would get close and personal and to her, this counted as close and personal.
Starscream twitched as he was hit and forgot all about the man parachuting down. ""That hurts you know""the jet stated mockingly as he abandoned the crashing F16 fighter jet to transform back in his alt form.
""Come and get me fucker"" she hissed as she pulled the joystick back, rising in a steep angle making Bitchin betty whine once more that she had to lower altitude.
She could hear commander Ortega and other wing mate shouting in her COM and with a flick of her finger she disengaged the COM line. She could feel the jet engines beginning to splutter as she gained altitude and knew soon the engines would start to stall. She assumed that wouldn't happen to Starscream but she had an idea.
""What are you up to foolish human, your craft can not fly there"" Starscream said over the COM, apparently, he could override her command to shut down the connection. She ignored the jet as she reached her final altitude and felt the engines splutter and stall, the on-board and engine computers blaring alarms.
Back on the ground Larry had been forced to land because of failure of plane systems, Starscream had done something to mess with the instruments inside his plane making it near impossible to operate the aircraft. Tom had landed safe with his Shute in the middle of no-where and was being picked up but Mika was still airborne.
The air commander was nervously pacing around trying to connect with Mika. "Shit!" he cursed and stomped his foot. Optimus looked at the air commander and felt the need to pace with him but he remained calm in place. There was nothing they could do from this distance, none of them could fly. Oh how he wished he had a seeker model in his team right now.
He tried opening a direct line with Starscream to lure him away from Mika and the other humans but Starscream refused to receive the COM. "Mika.." the autobot leader said softly to himself. Ironhide gently grasped the prime's shoulder plates, digits digging in firmly "If anyone can handle Starscream in the air it's Mika, she'll be fine prime" he said trying to sound confident. Optimus zoomed in as far as he could to watch the two, emotions pulsing in his spark. Fear of losing another human to their war, losing a femme he was getting close to, and anger at Starscream for being such a ruthless creature.
"Primus please protect her" he pleaded silently. He thought about talking to Mika but didn't want to distract her from escaping the killer jet.
Starscream watched the jet in front of him lose power and stall, what was this little splitfire femme up to, didn't she realize he could easily fly at these altitudes? He could even fly out of the atmosphere and go to space if he wanted to. Cybertronians where vastly superior. So, what was she up to.
Mika smiled behind her oxygen mask getting woozy as the jet couldn't supply any more air but she held firm and suddenly pulled back flipping the jet with the last weak boost of the thrusters backwards. Looking up, trough the canopy she saw the yellow class of Starscreams cockpit and flipped him off. She had no idea if the jet could see her but she didn't care. The Blackbird jet dropped like a stone and right when she was behind the enemy fighter jet she fired her last rounds manually.
Starscream was still gawking at the trick and to the fact that he just got -flipped off- by a human when he got hit bt something. Normaly the bullets wouldn't harm him much, but she had managed to hit a fuel line. It burst, spraying energon all over. Cursing he tried to get his auto repair systems stop the leak but knew he had to return to his base to get it fixed. That little insect had gotten him again but instead of going after the now crashing jet he decided to just watch, as he was sure she would eject out of the plane.
Mira nervously tried to re-ignite the engines. Flicking switches and re-setting her DEEC and SIC. "C'mon C'mon you can do it girl" she muttered to herself as she heard the engines starting to splutter as the altitude lowered.
From the ground her air commander watched nervously for any sign of life when he saw the familiar black jet tumbling down. "Fuck!" he cursed clenching his fist. Optimus feared the worse and looked at Ratchet and Ironhide to see if they could do something, both shook their helms sadly as they couldn't stop the plane, it was going to fast and there was nothing but empty wasteland, so they couldn't get a hold of the plane before it crashed.
"Why is she not ejecting!?" Ortega snarled in frustration. Larry answered with a sad smile " if given a choice she would not eject, you know her commander" he said gently, his brown eyes fixed on the little dot still tumbling down.
Mika got the emergency systems working, and hearing bitchin betty warn her to -pull up- was the most lovely thing she had heard that day. "I'm working on it betty" she spoke to the warning system her arms shaking with the force of trying to stabilize the plane.
When she hit the 100 meter mark she muttered a small prayer and hit her thrusters, the thrusters activated and with a loud whoosh the engines flared to life halting her fall before leveling the jet.
"pfew that was close" she said with an exhausted but pleased smile. Because of the re-set her COM systems had also been activated again and she could hear a cursing commander on the other side. ""nice to hear you as well commander"" she said.
""Mika, jezus fucking Christ you scared the shit out of me, don't do that again EVER"" he said sounding immensely relieved. ""What, survive?"" Mika said smirking. ""Don't get smart with me young lady and get your ass on the ground!"".
""Larry and Tom ok?"" she asked cautiously ""they are safe and on the ground blackbird"" came reply. ""Good, Blackbird X-14 coming in -over-"" she said before beginning her descend.
Up in the air Starscream watched as the femme managed to recuperate and land unscathed. "heh, silly femme" he said and blasted off back to base to visit knock-out, thinking of what excuse to use for the very human bullet holes and burst energon fuel line. The medic would never let it go if he told him he got shot by the human femme, again.
