A Day Later.
As Nick looked around the F-22's subsystems, he found some bad code in the jet before he suddenly screamed before his laptop exploded. He looked at the fried laptop with a ghost white face and shivered. "Holy crap!" That's all the man could get out. I ran over and saw a final massage scroll across his screen before the computer died and a swirl of smoke drifted up from the fired tech. "Stay out of my systems, pervert!" -SW. "'My systems'?" I asked as I turned to look at the F-22 off to my left as I thought with a calm expression on my face as Nick slowly got out of the cockpit and I moved off the jet to give him some room.
Soundwave's POV
"Pervert?" The human called Nick said with a hint of sadness. "I would never!" I could feel his glare at me. "Come on, Beautiful. I was just trying to fix a few bits of damaged code." Joel punched the human and he staggered on his balance prosthetics (crutches) and glared at the other human. "Get lost, Joel. If you want this beautiful bird to fly properly like she's supposed to, you will let me work!" Nick touched my left wing tenderly and looked at me sadly. "Some people don't know the freedom they have." He then thought. I wish I could know what it's like to fly, no equipment to keep you stranded on the ground to be able to go anywhere... I then laughed mentally as I saw Starscream in her Hard Light Holoform look at me with a raised eyebrow. These Trinemates want to fly, but they can't. I want to see if we can help them later on... I thought to her with a small unseen smile.
Alex' POV
I football tackled Joel and slammed him onto the floor as I started to punch Joel with a fury burning in my eyes. "You think it's FUNNY to pick on people that are different?!" I yelled at him as I continued to wail into him. I knew Nick could handle himself, but I hate bullies. My friends that know me know that I'm a chill guy, but there are three lines you don't cross with me. 1. you don't fuck with the girl I'm dating, and if you do you better pray to God or what ever deity you believe in, because if I found out you harmed my girl... Not even the Lord Almighty can save you. 2. Mess with me all you want, but leave my family out of it. Especially my Mom. 3. Don't slander my name. The third point is flexible, but the first two lines are like the Ten Commandments: Nonnegotiable.
I felt someone pull me off of Joel and I shot my elbow back, still in my rage. I heard a feminine grunt and I stopped my struggling as I felt the slender arms fall from around my waist as I then kicked Joel once for good measure before I turned and walked away to cool off with a heavy sigh. I pulled out my Mp3 Player as I cycled through my songs and landed on Take It Out on Me by Thousand Foot Krutch as I slightly laughed at the words in the song. I saw a girl about a year younger then me walk up and sit down next to me as I paused my music and pulled out my earbuds. "How are you today Miss?" I asked her as she turned to glare lightly at me. She hit me in the arm and replied to my question. "I am fine Mr. McLane, Though I could have done without the elbow to the gut..." she said to me as her glare changed into a small playful smile. "Sorry about that... When I get that pissed I tend to lash out at whoever's got a hold on me..." I explained with a light smile. "You shouldn't let guys like that get to you." the girl said to me as she introduced herself as Brittany and I told her my name with a bigger smile.
