Chapter two: On big step out the door.
It had been a too short weekend for Zea's comfort, she had stayed mainly in her room, only coming out, when needing food or the bath room essentials. Her parents had done the main 'Coax Zea out of her room', they were very good at getting people to stop acting stupid and do the smart thing. There points that they would throw across to you were always very good ones. She had grumbled to herself many times about them being always right, and the fact everyone in her family seem to always be right. She could never get the right words across, while they skipped around what she did say and then flung it back with more power, more punch and more meaning, ending in the restore of falling flat on her face, and regretting every minute of being and idiot and trying to win, in the verbal wars of family conflict.
Zea wasn't good with words, something she guessed Dyslexia was to blame or her own stupidness.
Zea had hardly seen Jamie during these trips out of her room; while most people they would of gladly tried dodging there older member of the family that they ticked off, but Zea wasn't like anyone else, she wanted to apologize for her actions but Jamie would usually be out at work during most of the day so the only time was now.
Creaking forward to Jamie's room and easing the door open quietly.
Jamie was quickly packing her things into backpacks that were littered across her room. Usually it would have been ten times tidier then Zea's but today, cloths, books and all kinds of belongings were spattered across the floor. If Zea's parents hadn't already left yet they would have been shocked at the state of Jamie's room like they usually were with hers.
Zea, had already gotten her things together; the black backpack on Zea's back was a clear example of that, it contained her lunch box and other school things that she was going to need to get through the hard day of Monday school classes.
Mondays, Mondays were never a good start to the week; it was like jumping of a cliff and learning how to fly, after spending too long in the nest, the week would push you out from comfort and partly safety home setting to the rough and tumble world that your parents try to hide from you during your younger days, "Reality".
"Hey sis…." She stuttered looking side to side before carrying on. "I want to apologize for my actions, Friday night, that was really selfish of me, and I had no right the way I acted, could you please forgive me?"
The only reply was a mumbled grunt, "Sure, see you when I see, now goodbye, hope you have a good week and any other day I'm not here" Jamie chimed back not taking her eyes off what she was doing to look at Zea.
Zea sighed, if she had cute anima cat ears instead of her own ears, they would be pointed down wards in disappointment. "Well, see you, when I see you" turning on her heel and exiting out of the room heading for the front door. Wearing a black overcoat that was the same as size as her purple one, a dark green T-shirt hid underneath the soft black cloth and green camouflage trousers made her look like someone out of an action movie. Hair loose swaying side to side, this picture would of look better if she was wearing her dark sun glasses, but they had suffered from a milled stepping on, and were recovery from the super glue surgery.
Turning the knob and bringing it forward so she could be let out, speaking her final goodbyes to basically no one, it just felt good to say it, before on to the gravel and into the big wide world know as earth, but sometimes can be referred to as hell.
The suns light blinded her for a few seconds before eyes adjusting, and setting the straight course for school, no matter how regrettably…
Getting to school was easy, no matter how many times Zea's parents had warn her, no stranger, had dared gone near Zea. She like to mockingly guessed that it was her aggressive reputation, had spread to the streets, but that could also be a bad thing, despite this, she was always careful when going and coming from school, for maybe some day some idiot would try something.
As usual things went smoothly making half way till she got the funny sensation of being watched. Looking around quickly there wasn't anyone up at these hours, so why were her senses saying she was being watch? The only thing on the street was a yellow Lamborghini. Sudden warning bells started to ring through her mind, a yellow Lamborghini? Oh come on, that story was either a dream or an illusion caused by lack of sleep deprivation.
So why on earth was her senses warning about a car, then the sudden memory of that Demon car movie flowed quickly through her mind and remembered mockingly the name of it, "The Car". Funny enough the Lamborghini was right beside her, alongside the road the sun gleaming off its bonnet.
"Wow, to think my 'Spidey senses' were going off, due to a dum car, what ever next a tree, then again it was right about that fern, it did fall down that night….gaahhhh! What am I doing, I'm talking to a car, I must be going crazy, it's only a stupid car!…" Turning her gaze to the yellow Lamborghini, glaring down at it, daring the car to do something, then if anyone had been watching her at that moment, they would have noticed her grey blue eye's changing to the colour to that of a bright ice blue, her pupils narrowing as she looked at the car.
A few seconds she blinked surprisingly, looking very shocked at what she could see, the car was generating a red aura, a fiery one of that, it flickered like flames of a roaring fire the tips of these flames were white and glowing. Her eye colour quickly changing to white, staggering backwards from the car, before turning away and running at full pelt to school.
By idiotic grace why couldn't I just been a normal child?
Quickly glancing over her shoulder back at the Lamborghini, the aura sight dying away, and returning her vision back to normal, before nearly ramming into a well placed lamp post
That car had an aura, an aura! Only living things have auras that car must be a living thing but how, or it's been affected by so spiritual matter, but even that makes no sense! What dose it mean, or do I need my eyes check up on again or is this some kind of dream and I still in bed?
These questions probably would never be answered, she sighed, Zea was totally unknowing that her eyes had change back to ice blue again, where the colour stayed, not tinting into any other colours as Zea ran down the old concrete block streets to her school……
Mean while, back at the yellow Lamborghini…..
The yellow Lamborghini shuddered for a bit.
"Who's she calling a stupid car?"
"Remember Sunstreaker, this is there world" Spoke a Datsun Police Car rolling up along side the Lamborghini.
"Yeah whatever Prowl, what do you think the femme was going on about 'Spidey senses' and all the rest, it was pretty weird, even for a human?"
"I don't know, but I did record the situation"
"Why?"
"Her reaction towards you, she mite of figured out that your, not a normal earth vehicle"
"So wait does that mean we have to go off and catch her before she tells anyone?"
"I'm sending a com link to Ratchet now about it, see what he thinks, maybe it would be best that you follow make sure she doesn't go to any of the earth authorities"
"Easy said and easy done" Sunstreaker roaring his engine to life and speeding forward leaving Prowl by himself. The tactician sighed, it was typical that on the orn he was leaving, that something would occurred, the words 'Murthy's Law' came across his screen mockingly, he grumbled Sideswipe was going to stay in the brig for the rest of the orn for his little 'leaving present', a computer virus that keeps showing the lines from 'Murthy's Law' across his viewing screen.
Sighing again, before tapping into Ratchet's frequencies to form a com link
Prowl SIC to Ratchet Chief Medical Officer: Ratchet I want you to do an analis on human's capability of optic's changing colour
Ratchet Chief Medical Officer to Prowl SIC: What's happen? Sunstreaker better have not killed any of the beings on this planet

She had just made it in time for class, schools started early at Mountain Bay city, due to the sun rising earlier here then most places, more sun light meant more time to work or be in school.
Heading for her desk she received many odd stares and looks from her class mates, she didn't bother asking why, most gave her that look any way, fearing that she'll come down with a raving fit and beat them over the head with her books.
Sigh, will they ever get over that one instance, that jerk call me mental and everyone knew I was having a bad day already, trouble was bound to happen, you just don't provoke the bear, when it's been stung by the bee…
She decided taking off her overcoat, and hanging it over the chair, while doing this she didn't notice someone sneaking up behind her, till they tap Zea on the shoulder.
"Gaahhhhhh!" Flinching forward and nearly falling over the chair, she turned around and glared at the perpetrator who had dared tap her.
It had been one of the boys from the other day; she didn't recognize him then, but now she did. His name was Nick Scott and he was Dean's cousin. Jet black hair washed over his jade green eyes his pale skin, covered in brown freckles. He wore a black T-shirt and brown baggy trousers, despite his looks he was a quite the intelligential person, one of the few class members that had been able to earn her respect.
The fortunately they were at equal height or Zea's glare properly would have a greater effect on him.
She, soften her stare, letting it relax, while her lip stayed in the usual neutral position as it was usually was.
"Oh sorry Zea, didn't mean to make you flinch, but your eyes are very different today"
"What do you mean?" Raising an eyebrow, his voice contained no hint of mockery, which would have, easily slipped out, giving away that it was a trick, but instead there was a large hint of nervousness. She had to give him credit for daring to tap her on the shoulder and ask a question.
Probably asked to do it…She thought, most would never dare go near her, and he was the only one, able to talk to Zea without out trouble arising.
"Well there Ice blue?" He said calmly
"Their, what…!" Instinct telling her to dash to the girl's bath room and look in the mirrors to see if it was true, but it was also telling her, she'll look like silly doing so and class had already started.
"It's okay Zea, I don't mean it in any offence" Looking worried at her reaction. "I just mean there different, oh and before I forget, I want to apologize for my cousin actions Friday, he can be an idiot sometimes"
There was a pause of silence before Zea replied.
"No I should be apologizing, I over reacted and took it too personally, I would like to apologize to him" Her voice quiet and clam as she spoke.
"Well, I-"
"Mr. Scott please return to your seat, the class is in motion"
"Yes, Mrs Rainwright, very sorry" He spoke quickly glancing at the teacher then back at Zea, before quickly hurrying over to his seat, two desks across from where she was, at the back, by the window.
"Okay, class I would like you to open your maths books to page 65, exercise 1B, and I don't want to hear a word out of you, and that goes double for you Sarah!"
"But Mrs Rainwright that wasn't me I swear!"
"I rather you not swear, but I'm still giving you a warning"
Some odd muffles coming from the girl named Sarah another blonde in the class but much lighter the Zea's.
"What was that Miss. Riverspout?" Mrs Rainwright, glaring down at the pupil like, which had just spotted its prey and was homing in for the kill.
"Err…nothing Mrs Rainwright!" The girl spoke shakily.
"I hope not, young lady" The teacher turning her gaze back to the rest of the class, scoping the area before trotting off to her desk.
Zea, sighed it was going to be a long day…
Math class had gone smoothly, English had been amusing when someone had let the English room guineapig loose and they spent half a lesson trying to catch it.
As the bell rang just as things were settling down, the students rushing up off their seats and out of the door like a mad herd of gazelle running from a lion. As always, slow and steady taking her time as she reach the door.
Zea preferred it that way, so when she got out and on to the corridor it would be clear of noisy and bustling teenagers, wanting nothing more than to escape the close spaces of the class room walls and on to the open concrete playground where most people just chattered or played soccer.
She thought jokingly, if any of the kids here, explain to an alien about school, they'll probably think it was some kind of prison, and in some schools they probably are, right.
Then the memory of the car and what she saw, flickered into her mind, she had almost forgotten about it due to the hamster event, but now it wouldn't leave her alone. Pondering Zea decide she was going to get her morning tea, and then head off to the library where she'll do some research before next lesson starts.
Glad with her decision she headed off to where her bag was hidden, placed in a spot that no one knew about, she didn't want anyone prying around in her things and stealing them like what happen in the last school, so now Zea was taking precautions of keeping her stuff safe.
Taking several rights and passing the library till she reached a dead-end, here was the old part of the school where they still had wooden floor boards, checking that no one was around before going down onto one knee and lifting up, one of the floor boards where hidden underneath, was her school bag. Safe from peer members and rats, surprisingly, she lifted it out, placing the floor board back in place before unzipping the zipper of the bag and shoving her hand in and searching for the snack that was placed in her lunch box.
Her hand going over the smooth plastic surface of the container, soon finding the metal clasp and opening it, finger tips soon finding the plastic cover of an intact KittKat and dragging it out to the surface of the bag and into the open. Zea gleaming at her prize, before shuffling in the bag again to clasp the lunch box together, before zipping the bag up again.
Zea didn't have time to take off the floor board before she heard the voice of the school bully behind her, Kittkat crunch in Zea's hands before dropping it to the floor.
"Well what do we have here, psycho girl having her morning tea on the floor?"
Quickly jumping off the floor and putting herself in a fighting position, she was prepared to take on this bully.
"Girl what's your problem, can't stand me?" The bully was a bit shorter then her, wearing a blue T-shirt that just covered his belly button, black jeans, short blonde scruffy hair that pointed upwards, dark blue eyes. He was a bit bulkier then her, but that never mattered, she could take him.
"We could make this easy, you give me your lunch money and I'll leave, no need for the punching"
"Billy, I don't have any lunch money, for the main reason so that you don't take it from me"
"Then I'll just have to take your lunch then" He grinned evilly, thinking he was so smart.
"Over my dead body, and you know you can't take me on a alone"
"Did I ever say I was alone?"
As he spoke to boys from came from one of the other corridors and walked up to either side of him, Billy looked smug, Zea just smirked.
"You could give up now, and we won't have to hurt you"
"You forget…" Kicking, her bag into a corner "I don't give up, and I wouldn't give up to a bunch of idiots like you, who have sad lives and have nothing better to do then be git's and cause problems" She growled, her stare turning into the famous death glare, the two boys beside him flinch.
Her hands click as she clenched them, while unknowingly her eye colour changed to a dark blue, she growl slightly to make herself more menacing, fear factor was good to clear off enemies but so far today it wasn't working.
"Okay guys you distract her while I get the bag" order Billy as he step forward only to have a fist fly into his face. His lip was bleeding, and the smirk that was there had turn into a scowl.
"Come any closer and you'll be getting the same" Her voice like a menacing growl filled with anger and intent, the other boys looked shaken, oh they had heard the rumours, and now they were staring at it.
"Leave now, and you won' be hurt!"
"Don't listen to what she says, she's only a girl!" barked Billy, covering the mouth slight with his left hand.
The other boys had stepped forward easing closer to her, she lung for one, but he quickly dodged out of the way and went around behind her. She snarled quickly turning around to be hit in the back by Billy, the pain was short and quick but it didn't matter to her. Swinging her arm round at him, knocking Billy over onto the ground before turning on the other boys, one had dared try and take her bag from the corner and soon fond himself in a headlock, and a fist very close to his face.
"You all leave now or he gets it!"
Snarling, the boy tried to struggle but found that some of the rumours about her were partly true, you can't escape her headlocks or what some like to call the deathlocks, for once she had a hold of you it was very hard to escape it.
"Please, please let me go, I promise never to bother you again!" He begged. Everyone knew begging put her off and she let go, the boy scattering off down the corridor not turning to look back.
"Anyone else?" she smirked
"Yes me!" Billy had gotten himself off the ground and had charge at her, slamming his fist into Zea's face, causing a black eye and making her go slamming into the wall behind her.
Right eye closed and squinting with the left, she made her attack. Slamming another fist into the side of his face before kicking him in the knee, that resorted, Billy falling over backwards. Now the other boy was on the offensive, tackling her and slamming Zea back into the wall.
"AAaaaah"
"Heh, had enough Barbie?" he sneered.
She growled the colour of her eyes had turned to black and small flexes of red appearing. Pushing him off and wrestling to the ground, Billy had escaped her attention and had grabbed Zea's bag.
Zea was doing well, throwing several punches to his head and chest, but a well placed kick had her winded on the ground.
"Ha, not so tough now…!" Kicking her hard in the side, making Zea roll over onto her front, arms grabbing Zea from behind and keeping them behind her back. Before being able to do a thing about it she was lifted onto her feet, where Zea was punch in the face by Billy again causing another black eye. She was also kicked in the gut and the left knee, before being drop to the ground and kick two more times.
"Let's leave her, we've got what we wanted, now lets go get that cowered for ditching us!"
They thought Zea had been defeated, but they had forgotten Zea doesn't give up, they had only walked two meters away when a they were tackle from behind and force to the to the ground, bag quickly snatch out of Billy's grip and before he could do anything Zea ran off down the corridor...
Zea was limping but she had to carry on, it would only take a few moments for the boys to return to there feet and be after her, right now she didn't have speed she needed to escape.
Groaning, as the pain starting to thrust through her, quickly limping to one of the doors on the sides and slipping in, shutting it behind quickly as she did.
Leaning against the door, and sliding to the floor, gasping for breath as tears ran down her cheeks, pain starting to emerge all over, iris changing back to ice blue.
She dare not sob encase they heard her, but the tears she could not hold back, dripping down onto her overcoat and making it damp, while she listen for them carefully. Sounds of running footsteps grew louder, her heart racing for a few seoconds worried that they'll find her, but fortunately they past.
Closing her eyes in relief, she had force them open again Zea knew she couldn't stay here, getting to nurse was her priority now, nothing else. Easing her self up, using the door as a support, every bruised screaming as she tried to stand. Opening the door slowly and carefully, looking right and left down doth ways of the corridor before stepping out and making the steady pace to sick bay.
She was only a needed to pass one corner to reach sick bay, but that's when she heard there voices.
"Don't worry she's bound to show up here, we'll get her then"
It was Billy and obviously they were around the corner, breathing quietly she peeked round. He now had a whole gang of boys with him.
"Oh fish sticks" Zea whispered, sleeking her head round the corner again, but sadly someone must have seen her.
"Billy, I saw her head around that corner!"
Curse it
She sprinted into a run not caring about pain or anything else, running at full pelt bag on back, head for the exit.
Nick and his cousin Dean who had the same cloths he was wearing on Friday, stood near the entrance of the school building, the bell was about toring and they couldn't be late for there next class.
"So that's what Zea really said, I thought she'll send back a death threat then an apology"
"Maybe there's more to her, then meets the eye"
"Yeah whatever, she's still weird"
"You could give her a chance?"
"What, psycho girl, no way am I going to try to be friends with her!"
Just as Dean finished, Zea came bursting through the front entrance, tripping over on the stares and landing at the bottom, she quickly recovered and got back onto her feet before running off again.
"I wonder what her problem is..?." Dean raising and eye brow before being pushed over as a stream of boys budged past him.
"See!" Dean pointing at the mod making chase after Zea "That's why we shouldn't be friends with Zea, there's a whole gang after her!"
"We should do something, I having seen the gang that big since….well never, I'm going to go after them"
"What are you crazy? They will kill you!"
"Well its better then wasting our time here when we could do something!" Nick, jump down the steps and ran after where the mob had gone, Dean sighing and rolling his eyes before doing the same and following his cousin.
Sunstreaker was bored, he was very bored, and a bored Sunstreaker isn't a Sunstreaker you would like to hand around with or meet. He had followed the human femme in a human settlement, that after looking up on the 'World, Wide, Web' was what humans called school, and it was where they dump there younglings for several hours each day for 13 years before heading into another teaching settlement where they would learn to get jobs. The system reminded him of the 'Nursery centres' and 'Youngling centres' specially designed areas of neutral territory where younglings and family units were refuge….well before the Con's blew it all up. Growling to himself over memory of that loss, despite being a war torn, Decepticon killing, maniac, the thought of all those slaughtered innocence was even grieving to his own spark.
He watch as the youngling humans played, some kicking strange circle objects back and forth, sometimes the object would end up in one of the odd shaped structures and a whole bunch of them would cheer in their strange langue while others moped. It was amusing, watching them duck and dive for such a simple object and kicking it in all directions, but it probably would be better if it was a Decepticon head being tossed and kicked all that would be more amusing. Imaging to himself, the object being Starscream head and himself kicking it around, but his enjoyment was short lived as the same femme from earlier came running across the concrete field and heading for the back of the settlement.
Roaring his engine to life and following along the fence line…
"Bad day, bad day, bad day…!" She whispered heading for the back of the school, to the tree, it may not be a life threatening situation but all Zea's instinct, senses, and her self was saying use the tree to escape.
Yeah it maybe her one option for a life crisis but right now she'll call this a life crisis, a whole gang of boys chasing you with the soul prepose of beating you up.
Gasping for more breath as she saw the tree in her sights, but as Zea did, she noticed that her speed was lowering the pain was returning, body begging to rest.
No, not now!
Clenching her teeth just before she flung her self at the tree, gripping on tightly before climbing, Zea dare not look down, knowing to well she was greatly afraid of heights.
One branch, two branch, three branch…………..There's my branch!
Sunstreaker slowed down as he watched the femme jump to a very large organic planet which he had discovered in the human langue was called a tree, she started climbing it, a large group of males now had arrived heading for it too. One was barking orders to the rest to climbed, while she had hurriedly getting onto a low branch that stretched out over the barrier that surrounded the settlement complex and was easing her self along it carefully.
"Give up Zea, we've got you now!" sneered Billy.
Zea quickly looking back over her shoulder some boys had already climb the tree and one was right behind her. Snarling and making loud aggressive growling noises, it made the boy flinch back but it didn't stop him completely, reaching his hand out to grab to her, only to get kicked, and flung back.
"I'm warning you….LEAVE ME ALONE!" Zea's voice deep a menacing her irises flexing to blood red
"Don't listen, Zea's only bluffing, she's really just a scaredy cat!" Barked Billy, Zea growled to herself, if she was stronger fitter ad wasn't hurting all over, she would of jump down from that tree and attacked him. She did not like being called a coward, yes she may be retreating now, but this was just strategy, for one there were a lot more of them, then her, and fighting right now would be really bad idea with all the bruises she already had. She'll probably slap her self latter for running but right now senses were telling her to jump, and so she did.
Slipping off the side and landing hard on her feet, wincing at the pain before running off across the road limping, the school bell echoing at her back along with the shouts and insults too.
Zea hadn't travelled far, ducking into an empty alleyway and leaning against the old brick work wall, ruined posters covering it, while the smell of damp and moist air inhaled through her mouth. She'll wait here for a bit, regain her energy before trekking the long trek home, where she'll have a shower and rest in bed before calling her parents. Zea closing her eyelids and lowered the speed of her heart rate taking long slow deep breaths at a time, she didn't notice the sound of the yellow Lamborghini driving up close beside her till the tingling warning bells in Zea's head went off again. Bolting her eyes open and jumping half a meter when she saw the yellow Lamborghini beside her, Zea quickly gaining to her feet, and staring at in shock. Irises no longer red but that of the ice blue, it took Zea several minutes to finally say something.
"Oh krip, how'll did you get here!"
"I fell from the sky" Sunstreaker couldn't resist saying that, to see the human femme face like that was priceless.
"You what…?" Her face turning from shock and surprise to Death glaring and angry.
"…If this is some kind of joke, it isn't funny!" She growled.
"No, joke fleshy"
This time in was Sunstreaker who was surprised, from the other side of the human was a white garbage truck. Zea quickly turning around, and getting lights shone into her eyes, she staggered backwards and landed on Sunstreakers bonnet much to his displeasure.
The white garbage truck started shifting and disjointing, forming into a metal giant, several feet taller then her, two round red orbs gleaming down at Zea from a face with an evil grin on it.
Zea's senses going haywire, saying she needed to get away, but one was saying stay put, everything will be alright, and for some reason she felt like trusting that one, more than the rest.
Suddenly the Lamborghini reversed behind Zea, she landed flat on her back painfully due to the bag. World blurred in her vision, she regrettably felt helpless, quickly rolling over to her front and crawling along the ground, to what Zea believed to be a wall.
More sounds of shifting metal to her left made Zea glance to where it came from, widening eyes as she stared in shock as the once yellow Lamborghini turning into a to be a giant metal being before her eyes.
"Get out of the way human" It snarled, dark blue glowing orbs staring down at her, nodding before quickly rising to her feet and heading straight for the exit. Heart pounding glancing back, to she the two giants go head to head, the yellow one taking a chunk out of the white one's chest. Now seeing them from afar, she now saw that they were robots.
"Woah real giant robo-"
Slamming straight over a white and blue bonnet and landing on the other side face first into the tarmac. Gasping for breath she struggled to her feet, but found she couldn't.
"Are ya, all, right?"
"Yeah….I'm...fine" She said trying not to groan, or have the sound of an in pain voice coming out her throat. She didn't care where the voice had come from Zea only wanted to get off the tarmac. The sounds of tearing metal roared around them.
"Well, I goin't' 'ave to get ya outta here, it's too dangerous, for the likes of ya"
"Like I haven't….noticed" Zea grumbled.
"Get in"
"Where…?" Staggered to her knees and looked around, the car that she had encountered was actually a Porsche 935 Turbo, and its right front door was open.
"Oh, sorry" Zea said before hoping in. Her vision was blurring again, but the feel of the driving wheel alerted her she was in the driving seat.
"Err…this is the-" Another clashing of metal and what sounded light laser fire, and the door beside her slammed shut, and the engines roared to life, zooming forward, and making Zea disputably fumble around for the seat belt.
"Ah ha, found it!" Clicking her self in and amazingly let relaxing a bit, vision starting to come back, but first she had to ask.
"Umm…thankyou..?" She nervously spoke, "But where are you taking me?" trying to sound calm. "I've had a really bad day, and being kidnapped would just be adding the cherry on the top?"
"Don't worry, I'm jus takin ya some where safe" the voice was cheerily, Zea senses went alerting her of dangers quite the opposite really, it was more like telling Zea, she had just found someone she could trust and maybe befriend. A small smile crossing her face, despite the seriousness she felt happy?
"I wish I knew where safe was" Zea's voice tinted with a bit of mockery but not aimed at anyone, her vision returning to normal she looked around the car, there was no one else but her.
"I'm guessing your like the ones back in the alleyway?" She asked calmly.
"Yep, we're called Cybertronian's, we're from another planet far away from yars"
"I can guess that, but why are you here?" Looking at the dashboard
"That'll 'ave to be explained lattar"
"I just hope latter doesn't involve my demise"
"Why would we do that?"
"I don't know, probably because I know about you and your buddy back their?"
"Hey, nothin, is goin to happen to ya, my promise"
Zea blinking, a few times confusedly
"Your, making a promise…?"
"Yeah"
"I just hope you keep your promise, every person who has ever promise me something has never kept it, always ending in a bit of a betray"
"Then I'll be the first, to keep it"
"Strangely I believe you will, by the way my names Zeaner Grey, but every one calls me Zea"
"Hiya Zea, 'im' Jazz"
"Well it's nice to meet you Jazz" Covering her mouth as she yawned. "lol, sorry, today has been very hectic for me, I've run several blocks, chased hamsters, been beaten up, fell down some stairs, had to run from a gang who wanted to beat me even more, climbed a tree and jumped out of it, had my soul nearly scared out of me by a yellow Lamborghini, and is exhausted beyond I've ever been before" Taking in a deep breath as she finished. "Sorry for blabbering, I'm not usually like this" Breathing in heavily again, Zea all this time hadn't even payed any attention to the world outside the vehicle as it blurred past.
"It's alright, but why would anyone want ta beat, ya up?"
"Because..." Breathing in again "…I don't like the idea of others trying to steal my things by threatening me…" another breath "…I'm too headstrong to give up and let them win.." Deep breath this time "…yeah they out numbered me, but I couldn't let them have their way, despite everything, I've let jerks push me around in the past, I'm not going to let them push me around now!" there was a few minutes of silence but Zea still had a bit more to say "Sigh, sorry, I know this is all probably very meaningless to you, I'm very sorry I'll shut up now" Leaning back as much as she could while still having a backpack on her back.
"Na, what ya say is interestin, yar very determined, so no need ta say sorry"
The pain had now become a numbing sensation taking over her body she had ignored it first, but and forcing Zea to want to sleep.
"Sorry, I just fell like I'm always doing something wrong…" eyelids, stuttering to keep open.
"Well, ya not Zea, so need to be dissin yar self"
"I guess….sorry I can't seem to stay awake, the numbness of the pain is making me sleepy"
"Ya, goin to be alright?"
"Yeah, it's just my natural, body trying to shut things down so I can heal"
"Ah stasis, lock"
"Wha?"
"Stasis lock, is my species way ta self heal too"
"Oh" Zea saying sleepily, eyes fulling closed, mind drifting away from reality.
"No, need ta fight it"
"Yeah, but I'm sure you wouldn't want some being sleeping inside of you"
"I wouldn't mind"
"You sure..?"
"Yeah"
There was silence for several minutes, Jazz curious, he spoke again.
"Zea, ya there..?"
Still nothing, Jazz turning on his sensors, he discovered that Zea was fast asleep she had even slightly curled up onto the seat as much as she could. His, sensors even picking up, the injuries Zea had several bruises and a broken rib.
It was a bit odd to have a small being sleeping in you, but it wasn't discomfort able.
He was about to tap in a com link to Sunstreaker when he received a com link from Ratchet.
