Jack refused to let Reyna go to the base after that for a while. He didn't want anything more to happen to her. But every night, he'd tell her about his adventures with the autobots. The young girl seemed fascinated by the aliens. Sometimes she'd beg to go with him, but he worried that more visions would come and hurt her. Reyna was asleep in her room when a strange man grabbed her. She tried to scream but a firm hand was clamped over her mouth. A needle pricked her arm and it felt like liquid ice was going through her. She lost consciousness and collapsed.
When Reyna woke up she began to whimper and look around. She nearly screeched when she found herself wrapped up in a spider-webbed cocoon. She frantically searched for someone she knew and found June still out like a light. She looked up to find that the building they were hanging from was taller than she expected.
"Jack!" she screamed as her brother ran up. He climbed to the top and started to free June as she started to question what was going on.
"It's over Airachnid! I found them!" Jack yelled upwards. Reyna looked up and shrieked when she saw a giant robot spider.
"Ah, ah, ah! I said you had to free them!" she taunted. Reyna began to whimper and the spiderbot noticed. "Oh be quiet, your death will be fast and painful!" she cackled as Reyna began to cry. "Shut up!" she growled when the girl didn't stop making noises. Airachnid hit the child's head just enough for her to black out again.
**Reyna's Vision**
Reyna squirmed as she was removed from Elita's arms, into the ones of another bot. She looked up at the girl with wide eyes. She smiled back down at the little child in her arms before looking back up at a proud Elita and Optimus.
"She's adorable guys! I can't believe you had a sparkling!" the femme exclaimed. Elita chuckled at her.
"Don't worry, Chromia. Someday you and Ironhide will have one of your very own." Elita comforted her. Reyna remembered Arcee saying that she had a sister name Chromia. She looked up at the femme. A black figure appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around Chromia.
"Maybe someday." He said to Chromia. Chromia turned to smile at the man.
"Hey Ironhide! I didn't hear you come up!" Chromia exclaimed. Ironhide? Reyna didn't remember hearing about someone named Ironhide! Chromia handed Reyna over to Ironhide, who seemed nervous to be holding her.
"Scrap, it's been years since I've held a sparkling." He muttered. Elita, Optimus, and Chromia all gave him an encouraging smile.
"You're doing fine, Hide." Elita said. A loud siren blared, scaring Reyna so badly she began to cry. Ironhide seemed slightly panicked. Elita quickly took Reyna back and began to coo to her. "Be calm, my little shooting star." Reyna calmed as the others left the room. She knew there must've been decepticons around. Elita gave a sad sigh. "If only you didn't have to grow up in this war, StarRacer."
**End of Reyna's vision**
Reyna slowly opened her eyes and narrowed them to get used to the bright light around her. She sat up and looked around to find herself back at the base on the couch. June was standing near the railing talking to someone while Raf and Miko played video games on the ground near the couch. She turned and saw Jack talking to Arcee. Reyna rubbed her temples as she tried to get rid of the pounding headache.
"Hey Reyna woke up!" Miko chirped as she turned around to face the girl. She blinked in momentary confusion before realizing that it had only been a vision, not a memory. But why was she having visions as Optimus' daughter? She shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"Who was that spider thing?" she asked. Arcee turned and looked at the girl.
"That was Airachnid. If you can, avoid her at all costs. She's very dangerous and…she killed my partner Tailgate." Arcee explained, though the last part was strained. Reyna frowned, she remembered hearing Arcee talk about Tailgate in her visions, but she was usually happy.
"I have another question. Your other sisters' name is Chromia right?" Arcee nodded slightly. "Who's Ironhide?" Arcee laughed.
"What's gotten you interested in old Hide?" she asked. June gave a warning look at Reyna.
"Did you tell them about your visions?" June asked. Reyna looked down at her feet and nodded. "Why?"
"The robots in my visions look exactly like Arcee and Optimus." She admitted. June sighed but let the matter drop.
"Well Ironhide is Chromia's sparkmate. Did you happen to see them in one of your visions?" Arcee asked. Reyna nodded nervously. "What happened in it?" Reyna hesitated. She never told them in full detail what happened in her visions. June crossed her arms.
"Reyna, the visions are about them and you didn't tell them what happens in them?" June asked. Reyna lowered her gaze. Arcee shot a warning glare to June.
"No one here is offended by it, Mrs. Darby." Arcee retorted. Reyna fidgeted uncomfortably under the stares placed on her. She looked up to see Optimus walk in with a slight look of worry on his face. The look quickly disappeared as he caught Reyna's stare. Reyna went down the steps and approached Optimus.
"Hey Optimus I need to talk to you for a sec." Reyna said quietly. Optimus kneeled down and placed a hand on the floor so she could step on. She hopped on and he stood to his full height.
"What is it, Reyna?" he asked. She glanced back to see everyone doing their own thing so they wouldn't notice them.
"I don't know why, but you and that girl named Elita One are in every single one of my visions. It's really weird." Reyna said as she sat down. Optimus' eyes flashed with worry for a second before returning to normal.
"What happens?" he asked.
"I'm always held like a baby in them looking up at whoever is holding me. Every time someone talks to me they call me StarRacer." Reyna explained. Optimus froze at the mention of StarRacer. Memories of his long-lost daughter haunted him. Reyna noticed and sighed. "Why am I having visions as her?" she mumbled sadly.
"I do not know, Reyna." Optimus responded. Reyna sighed sadly, knowing that nothing was going to clear up the mess. The computer beeped and Ratchet started to type. Everyone gathered around to see it. "What is it, old friend?"
"A video message, from someone out near the planet known as Saturn," Ratchet responded. "It has an autobot signal."
"Open it!" Miko demanded. Optimus nodded so Ratchet played it. The image of a familiar female robot appeared on the screen.
"This is Elita One, I have found the signals of the autobots on Earth and request to join. Please respond soon. I am also with Chromia and Ironhide." The femme informed. A wide grin formed on Arcee's face.
"My sisters are coming!" she exclaimed happily.
"Carrier," Reyna whispered quietly subconsciously. No one heard her but Optimus worried about the young girl. Something kept nagging at him to protect her, no matter what the cost.
"Ratchet, can you lock in on her location?" Optimus asked. Ratchet nodded and began working. "When will she be near Earth?"
"In a week or so we can contact them." Even Ratchet seemed happy to have the new autobots come. Optimus placed back on the balcony next to the other humans while he helped Ratchet. June turned to Reyna.
"It's time to go home, it's almost 9 at night." June said. Reyna stared at her in shock.
"I slept for that long?" she squeaked. Everyone nodded and Reyna sighed. After all of the humans left Optimus was left alone in his room.
"StarRacer…where are you?" he whispered to himself sadly.
