I do not own anything but the plot and my ocs.

I am open to ideas on things you would like to see.

Now on with the story...

(Autobot Base)

Back at the base everyone was waiting for the others to return. While they were gone June and Fowler had arrived together, they had been going out for awhile. The first thing Fowler said was "Where's Prime? We need to talk!"

"He is out checking in on a signal we picked up earlier. You will just have to wait!" Ratchet barked back. "It that's even possible for you." He added under his breath.

.:Ratchet. Open the ground bridge:. Prime commed in.

.:Opening ground bridge now:. Ratchet replied.

Once all the Autobots were in the base Ratchet prepared to shut it down.

"Hold on Ratchet! Two others coming in as well." Prime said as Natalie and Nightstrider entered the base.

"SWEET! A NEW BOT!" Miko shouted as she made her way over but soon stopped and jumped back."Wait a minute, you're not a Bot! You're a Con!"

"Correct." Nightstrider said in a bored voice.

"How did you catch her Bulk?" Miko asked rabid for details.

"Catch her? Ha! Nobody can get beat my momma!" Natalie shouted out in amusement from behind Nightstrider. Out she stepped, clutching her stomach as she laughed. "She's only here because I am!" she said. The humans in the room were shocked to see the girl in the company of the 'con and calling her mom. June looked concerned and suspicious while Fowler looked like he was about to shit a brick.

"Nat. Be careful. We don't know them that well yet." Night warned her as she eyed the bots in the room.

"Oh stop fussing Nights!" Natalie sighed in false irritation.

"I can't. Not when I'm surrounded by the enemy!" Nights replied still eyeing those around her.

Fowler had finally gotten over his slight brain constipation, or at least enough so that he was able to form speech. "P-P-PRIME! W-what the hell!? Y-you brought a C-con here!" June was glaring daggers at him for his language usage and Prime looked like he was annoyed that he had to explain every thing to him.

"She has come peacefully and has no interest in joining with Megatron at this time," Prime explained as he looked over the humans gathered there.

Miko, who had been studying Nightstrider ever since she first spoke up had just noticed that her Decepticon symbol was different than the others that she had seen. "Hey, why is her symbol different?"

The Autobots all tensed up and looked like they weren't going to say anyting when the 'Con in question answered her. "It is because I am an Elite Decepticon. I was trained by Megatron himself in the art of death. I know more ways to snuff a spark than there are ways to save them, some without even using any kind of weapon at all. I am very likwly to be the most dangerous Decepticon you will ever see short of Megatron himself. Because of my advanced training I was given this emblem to mark me above the rest. I was given the right to kill anyone short of the officers above me. I was able to call my own shots on the battlefield and hunt down whoever I chose. I am a killer. Does that answer your question fleshling?" Her blood red optics were burning holes into the head of Miko as the girl backed away quickly, hiding behind Bulkhead.

(Arcee's pov)

As we stood there watching her after her outburst I found myself looking her over. She was not to bulky, not to thin. She could obviously take care of herself. She even kinda looked hot. 'Wait! Did I just think of her as hot? She's a femme, and a 'Con no less! Get a hold of yourself Arcee!' I then looked down at Jack and saw him staring at Natalie. The look in his eyes said it all. He was attracted to her. I looked at Natalie and saw the same look, but better hidden.

"I believe it would be best if we all introduced ourselves." Prime said after an awkward silence. "I. . . am Optimus Prime."

I decided to step forward next. "The names Arcee."

Bulkhead was next. Then Ratchet, Bee, Jack, Miko, Raf, June, Fowler, Natalie, and then Nightstider.

"So what is with you and the 'Con?" Jack asked Natalie as she walked over to the group after the introductions were done.

"Well, we met about six years ago while I was living on the streets in L.A." Natalie began. "She came upon me one night while I was laying in an alley around midnight. I guess she thought it was odd for me to be out at that time. She activated her holoform and came to ask me why I was out. After she asked me I just stared at her for awhile, then I decided that it couldn't hurt to talk about it. You see, my parents didn't want me any more, they said that I was to expensive so they kicked me out. When she heard that she told me to come with her. I followed her to a purple car and she drove me out of town."

"Heh. I remember that night quite well. I took you out past that old gas station and into that shed." Nights put in with a smile forming on her faceplates.

"Yeah and then you just disappeared from the drivers seat after telling me to get out." Nat continued. "At first I thought you were going to kill me but I got out anyway. Then as soon as I was out she transformed and told me about herself and offered to take me with her. Well obviously I wasn't going to pass up on that offer, it was way better than the streets of L.A."

"I still remember the look in your eyes when I transformed that first time." Nights laughed.

"After awhile she asked me if I wanted to stay with her indefinitely, and I said yes. We've been together ever since, and I have never had to worry about being harassed by anyone anymore." She finished as she walked back over to Nightstrider and patted her hand on her pedde.

"Yeah and if they did, they wouldn't have liked the results." Nightstrider said in an ominous tone. The Autobots were now only slightly shocked while June was crying softly at how sweet that sounded for an out of this world being from another galaxy.

"Wait a minute! You were kicked out 6 years ago?" Fowler asked slowly.

"Yes?" Natalie responded.

"How old are you?" Fowler asked after that.

"16"

"So you were only ten when they kicked you out and when you met this Night-smiter?"

"NIGHTSTRIDER!" Natalie yelled at him after he butchered her mom's name. Fowler jumped back a bit at the sudden anger coming from the girl in front of him.

"Okay! Sorry!"

"No. I'm sorry. I over reacted. It's just that we're very protective of each other." Natalie apologized.
