~Story Begin~
Luka fixed the clothing that Will gave her. He suspected that if Luka were to go into the base with her previous clothing, it might throw everyone off—considering how revealing her assassination uniform was. Also wearing a soldier's military uniform might seem odd for her as well as entering the base in regular, daily clothes for the first time. So in the end, Luka fixed the black tie to her shirt and slipped into the black blazer. She looked in the mirror. She top part of her body was in what people would assume a business look. A white button up shirt, black tie, and black blazer. However on the bottom, Luka wore her black shorts with her knife holsters attached. She also kept her thigh length boots. To an outside person, she looked as if she belonged to the mafia instead. As Luka gazed into the full length mirror, she couldn't help but remember what happened a few moments ago.
A few moments ago...
"During your stay at N.E.S.T., you will be the nanny of my niece and nephew who are staying at the base," General Morshower declared while looking down at Luka. Luka's eyes widened as she looked up at the general. Was that even possible?
"Are you insane General!?" The Secretary of Defense screeched, "You trust an assassin to take care of your niece and nephew!? She could kill them!"
"But she didn't take Annabelle," the general retorted. "She aborted the mission because she couldn't bring herself to capture her and her mother. If she can do that, then I'm sure she won't purposely harm them."
"Excuse me..." Luka spoke up as she was just as confused as the Secretary of Defense was. "Why would your niece and nephew need a nanny and should I even ask why children are in a military base?" Will chuckled a bit and rubbed the back of his neck as he glanced at the leader of N.E.S.T. The general sighed softly and smiled wryly towards Luka. It seemed as if he was almost embarrassed to even answer Luka's question. But nevertheless, he straightened up and answered.
"My family knows that I'm a general so as expected, they knew I was in the military. My niece and nephew wanted to visit and stay at a base since they were interested in what the military does. Of course their parents turned down their wish, claiming it was too dangerous as no one would watch them. I certainly have my own duties so I cannot watch over them, and neither can the soldiers at N.E.S.T. The children continue to ask me whether they can stay with me for awhile and they used grades, excuses such as Christmas and birthdays to let them stay. So their parents had enough and decided to send them over. It's only been a week and everything has been busier because soldiers have to work as well as watch over the kids," General Morshower glanced at Luka. "And since Will decided to take you into N.E.S.T., I might as well hire you as a nanny for my niece and nephew."
"Trust me, our workload has increased since the kids arrived," Will nodded at Luka, rubbing his neck. "So you would actually help us a lot if you became the nanny for the kids until they leave."
Luka stayed silent as she listened to the men. They wanted her to watch over children? She told them that she grew soft for kids, not that she was capable of watching them. Kids had a lot of energy to them as well as a lot of emotions, Luka didn't. As an assassin, Luka had to numb herself with a lot of emotions so they don't get in the way. She was void of any emotion, however, she kept her morals. And those morals are what got Luka to abort her mission. So here she is, free and standing in front of the two men when she could have escaped. Well, she could try to escape, but it would be meaningless as the entire area was guarded and she would only get locked up once again. So, she decided to hear them out on this nanny job.
"Once the children go home, you will then work at and for N.E.S.T, understood?" General Morshower concluded and glanced at her. "Now then, will you take the job?"
"I know it seems weird, asking you to become a nanny, but we would appreciate it greatly. We have other duties and we have to train recruits. We don't have a lot of time to go in between to watch the kids," Will explained. "So the bots might crush them..." He mumbled.
"But I...I may be soft for children...but that does not mean that I can take care of them..." Luka spoke up softly. Her chance of freedom was by going through this job.
"I think you can manage, you just need to get used to them and, you know, open up," Will smiled a bit. "So are you going to take the job? It's better than being locked up in here you know?" Will looked around the room and patted the wall as he made a small joke.
"..." Luka was silent at first, but weighed her options. If she refused, she would be locked up in here for sure with nothing to do, but think of escape plans. However, if she took the job, she would only have to adapt to watching over two children and interacting with them. That, and she would have more freedom. Sure she would be kept in a base, but while watching over children, she would be able to roam around. She had decided. "I'll take the job."
The general and Will smiled a bit and nodded. The general went off to confirm with the officials and agree to their terms with holding her at the base in Diego Garcia. Will stayed behind and looked at Luka. He took note of her uniform and cringed at the overloading questions the children will ask if they saw her wearing something like that. That, and the recruits' eyes would be wandering and they would be distracted. He also took note of the knife holsters and the Japanese katana the soldiers held. He knew that it would scare the children or it would make them curious, but he knew that the now nanny would not take the job without them. He won't deny it either, staying at the base is dangerous for children so Luka might as well serve as a guard for them as well.
"Let's get you something different to wear," Will nodded at Luka and motioned her to follow. She blinked and followed, but was confused.
"Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" She asked, unsure why she needed to change.
"Let's just say I rather avoid having a mouth load of questions asked about you and I don't want wandering eyes if you know what I mean," Will answered, leading her to a room. He left and then returned with a bag and tossed it to her. "You can adjust the bottoms or whatever, but change into the top." He also placed the knives and the katana on the floor.
"Why are you giving me back my weapons? Wouldn't that give your superiors suspicions?" Luka raised an eyebrow and glanced up at him.
"Hey, kids are at an army base, things could happen. I won't deny that. You might as well be a nanny and guard while you're at it," Will shrugged and smiled a bit. "It won't be so bad. Get changed and I'll meet you here in 15 minutes. Then, we'll be heading out."
Present time...
Luka was done changing and she strapped the knives to the holsters on her thighs. She glanced at her katana, then remembered that she couldn't strap it to her back so she placed it in the bag with her assassination uniform top. She picked up the bag and walked out to meet Will. When he noticed her, he smiled and nodded.
"Good enough, let's go," Will motioned as Luka followed. She glanced back at the room before following him out to a hangar where a plane was waiting for them. General Morshower was waiting for them. When he noticed the two, Will saluted in greeting whereas Luka just bowed her head. She had to show at least some gratitude. The general acknowledged her bow and started boarding the plane. Luka blinked before she followed inside, glancing at Will.
"Where is this base that we are going?" She asked and Will chuckled.
"Diego Garcia."
At Diego Garcia, the autobots were waiting for Will's return. While some of the autobots were busy, a few of them decided to play with the children. A certain yellow bot became a jungle gym for the two children who climbed up to his knees and swung around. Suddenly all of the autobots arrived at the hangar, leaving Bumblebee confused. The children stopped and hopped down, wondering who was arriving. A black van pulled up as General Morshower and Will stepped out.
"Uncle!" The children cried out and ran towards him, hugging him around the waist. The general chuckled and bent down to hug them back. Soldiers and recruits came out to greet their major for returning. The autobots stood back and watched.
"Everyone, we want you to meet someone," Will called out and waved over to the van. Everyone stopped what they were doing and glanced over to the car. The door opened and everyone watched in confusion as a young woman stepped out. Of course, some of the soldiers and recruits eyeballed the woman's legs and their eyes trailed up from the legs to the woman's face. "This is Luka Bucaneve."
"Uh Will? I don't have anything against women joining the army, but what's she doing here? I didn't get a notice about an incoming soldier," Epps walked over to Will, confused as everyone else.
"Don't worry about it, you'll know in a short while," Will chuckled and pat his friend's back. The general looked at the kids and motioned them to Luka.
"Kids, this is your nanny from now on during your stay at Diego Garcia."
