Hey Tulip here, I realise there are some mistakes in my last chapter, but I don't know why, it was fine on my word doc, but when I uploaded it, it spazzed out on me L, will try and fix it though!

DISLAIMER! Me no own, you no sue.

BOLD ITALICS- Autobot/ Decepticon comms

Italics- Thought

Optimus sighed as he drove along, the other Autobots in tow. Ironhide was one of his oldest friends, and didn't doubt what he had told him, but were they Autobots or Decepticons that Ironhide had discovered? They appeared to want to protect the two human children, which either meant they were Autobots and didn't realise who Ironhide was, or, these humans were in grave danger.

"Optimus sir, I've got the signals, but I can't read the signal properly, they've been scrambled by something" Chromia called over the radio, and Optimus sent a thank you in return. He hoped that these humans were not in any danger, from what Ironhide had told him, they appeared to be two ordinary humans with no idea what was going on, and hopefully it would stay that way.

"Sir, message from Ironhide coming in" Ratchet snapped Optimus out of his thoughts suddenly.

"Go ahead Ironhide"

"Roger Optimus, the human girls were washing myself and Bumblebee-" Optimus heard Skids and Mudflap snicker "- When they found a piece of Decepticon weaponry lodged in my grill" Optimus stiffened.

"What happened?"

"They said they recognised it, but that they couldn't remember where from"

Optimus paused, this was a development, these humans, appeared to know about the Autobots and Decepticons, if only subconsciously, this, was not good.

"Bumblebee, Ironhide, keep an eye on them both"

"Roger that Prime"

Clara sighed as she finished Marks bike, it had taken them three hours, about one hundred litres of water, and a change of clothes, but they had finally finished washing all four vehicles.

"Done, now, let's tell William, I want some cash!" Lucy cheered and they put away the buckets and sponges and knocked on Williams door, and he opened almost instantly.

"We've finished cleaning your truck and the Camero" Lucy told him smiling and he smiled back and nodded, but Clara could see the suspicion and concern in his eyes.

"Hey you are" He said, handing them both twenty dollars each. Lucy and Clara grinned and thanked him before going back to their house to discuss the strange piece of metal they had found.

"It does look strangely familiar, but I have no idea what these symbols mean" Clara confirmed examining it for the millionth time.

"I know, and it's bugging the hell out of me, think we should ask Will? It was in his truck" Lucy suggested and Clara shook her head staring at the piece of metal, where had she seen those symbols before?

"Come on, I'm going to the shop, coming?" Lucy asked and Clara sighed, put the piece of metal down and nodded slipping on her shoes and following her sister out the door and outside.

Clara glanced around, she had the strangest feeling they were being watched, and Lucy had noticed it as well.

"Are we being watched?" Lucy asked looking around for some man dressed all clad in black.

"It feels like it" Clara murmured and stepped out into the road.

Only to be hit by a police car.

For a moment, the world was spinning, and she couldn't hear anything, but then the painful reality caught up with her, she heard a crashing sound, and realised it was her, landing painfully on the bonnet of the car. She heard Lucy screaming, people running, and someone getting out of the car.

Her head hurt, her arm hurt, and she couldn't breath.

Lucy watched as the police man grabbed her sister round the throat, and started jumping on his back in a desperate attempt to get him to let go.

"Get off me fleshling!" The man snarled but Lucy held firm, and started scratching his face and biting into his shoulder, he snarled and knocked her off before kicking her in the gut, maybe her cough and splutter before he turned back to Clara, who was just getting her bearings.

The hand grabbed her throat again and Clara attempted to kick them off, she could hear yells, men yelling, and the man, he was talking to her.

"I know it's you, tell me where it is!" The man snarled in a low voice, but Clara responded by trying to punch him in the face, but she couldn't muster the strength and he just batted her hand away.

"I know it's you sparkling, where is the piece!"

"LET HER GO!"

The hand released her throat and she slid off the car and started coughing and spluttering, hissing as her wrist jarred painfully, she looked at it, it was purple and swelling, sprained at least, she looked up at the man, only to see two other men beating the holy hell out of him.

Barricade growled at his two opponents, he had hoped the two unknown signals had been friends, but they were obviously foes. One of them, the one disguised as the Motorbike, was tall, had dark brown hair that was almost black, a dark pair of glasses on and light skin, the other, the Ford, had blue hair that wasn't as short as the others, and stuck up in a sort of curve, curving to the left slightly, and he had bright blue eyes.

He glared at them both, then at the child he had been targeting for Lord Megatron, he snarled in defeat, let his holoform vanish, and drove away, leaving skid marks on the ground.

Clara blinked up at her two saviours, she knew them, where did she know them from?

"Blurr, Prowl" Lucy stated bemused at the fact she knew who these people were, and then, they just, fizzled out of existence, and Lucy and Clara were left, standing alone, as an ambulance pulled up, and dragged them both inside, with their mother claiming that a man had randomly attacked her precious babies.

Ironhide could only stare at the two vehicles, Blurr and Prowl, that's what the human had called them. But it couldn't be them, they were dead…weren't they? His holoform stepped out of his vehicle mode, as did Bumblebees, he looked like, what's the human expression? A kid in a candy store, at the prospect of seeing his old friend, Blurr, alive and well. They walked over to the two vehicles, where their two holoforms fizzled into existence and stared at them warily, or in Blurrs case, angrily.

"State your name and allegiance" Prowl ordered them and Ironhide huffed a grin, still as stern as ever.

"My name, is Ironhide, this is Bumblebee, and judging by the looks on your faces, we don't need to state our allegiance" Ironhide chuckled as their angry looks went to joyous looks, or in Prowls case, a small smile, that was about as happy as he got.

"BUMBLEBEE!" Blurr yelled and hugged the smaller male, Bumblebee laughed and hugged his friend back, Ironhide patted Prowl on the shoulder and Prowl sighed in relief.

"I apologise for the message I sent you before, we are protecting the two humans, and our security has been broken for several Earth years, we could not tell if you were friend or foe" Prowl explained and Ironhide nodded, but Bumblebee frowned.

"Why are you protecting those humans, when they don't know what we are?" He asked and Blurr shifted from one foot to the other, they had some explaining to do.

Clara wasn't totally aware of what had happened, according to what the police had told her, some emotionally unstable person, had hijacked a police car, and had randomly targeted Clara because she had red hair, and his wife, who had just left him, had red hair.

Yeah, she didn't buy it either.

"Lucy, what were those guys called again?" Clara asked, the hospital had kept her over night, but said her injuries weren't severe, as long as she didn't use her wrist or walk around too much she was free to go.

"Prowl and Blurr" Lucy told her and Clara nodded, those names, she knew those names!

"And how do we know that?" Clara asked and Lucy shrugged her shoulders, they sitting in the front garden, staring at the six vehicles parked in front of them, the same four that they had washed, plus a silver Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept and a cherry red Ferrari 458 Italia.

"Twins" Clara muttered and Lucy nodded staring at the two new cars.

"I see what you mean Ironhide, being stared at is unnerving"

Ironhide agreed with him, but when the red headed girl had muttered 'twins' and the dark haired girl had nodded, he's become even more wary of them, Sam Witwicky was inside talking with William about approaching these girls, after the incident with Barricade and the finding of Blurr and Prowl, they were starting to worry about them, they were in danger.

"So, we talk to them in the morning, agreed?" William finished, it was getting dark, and Sam would be staying in his spare room tonight, to save having to go back and forth from base. Sam nodded, and called Optimus, he would want to be there.
