A/N: Waddup mah Peeps! Bluefeather4299 here with a new Chapter! WOOT-WOOT!

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers. Hasbro does. I only own any and all OCs mentioned in this story, however brief an appearance.

Wolfimus Prime: LOL yeah. Hope you like this chapter. Full of more attitude-prone Alex :).

Guest: Please read the A/N at the bottom for the list of Bots Alex meets as there are too many to introduce. Hope this satisfies your curiosity :).

'Blah'=thoughts


Alex stares at the large forms in front of her. One of them steps forward.

"I assume you're Alexandra?"

Alex blinks. 'Giant TALKING robots. Of COURSE.'

"The word 'robot' is highly offensive you know." Alex looks at the one who spoke, a lime green and red robot who was the Rescue Hummer before.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize I said that out loud. Tell someone who cares."

She turns to Lennox, ignoring the sputtering robot behind her.

"Alright. I don't know what you put in my drink this morning, but I'm leaving. Thank you and goodbye." She moves to the front entrance of the hangar, when something picks her up.

"Hey! Put me down you overgrown toaster!" A quiet chuckle reaches her ears, and Alex comes face-to faceplate with two blue orbs.

"Do you really want me to? It's a long way down for a fleshy." Alex growls, and her foot lashes out, slamming into the metal in front of her.

She feels herself fall, and hit the ground, immediately tuck-and-rolling. The teen turns to the group in front of her. She bows down dramatically at their stupefied expressions. Alex straightens, looking at the metal forms, and puts her hands on her hips.

"It really can't be that amazing to see something like that. Now since I'm here, and honestly have nothing better to do or go, do I get your names? Or do I have to guess?"

That snaps everyone back into reality. The one who stepped forward before, and apparently knew her name, kneels down.

"Apologies. My name is Optimus Prime, and this is my Team." He gestures to the lime green and red robot and a black and silver robot.

"This is Ratchet, my CMO, and Ironhide, my Weapon Specialist. I believe you have already met both." That's when Alex realizes that she had kicked Ironhide. 'Oh well.'

The introductions continue, and Alex zones out halfway through, her subconscious filing away names with faces. Suddenly, a statement brings her back.

"Now that you know about us Alexandra, you will need a Guardian." Alex's eyes narrow behind her sunglasses.

"What? First, my name is Alex. NOT Alexandra. And second, in case you didn't notice earlier, I can take care of myself fine. I don't need some glorified trash compactor keeping an eye on me." Optimus sighs.

"Be that as it may…Alex, the Decepticons will eventually find out about you. And therefore, you will need someone to help Ironide keep you and the Lennoxes safe."

"Let's get something straight. I don't need a Guardian. I'm not even going to be here long. Once my Dad comes back, I'm gone." Alex glares right at Optimus, daring him to try and object.

Everyone holds their breath, not knowing the outcome. When Optimus speaks, his voice is filled with nothing but patience for the teenager in front of him.

"I understand your reasoning. However, until your father returns, you will be staying with the Lennox family. That is why I have decided Mirage will be your Guardian." Alex looks over to where the maroon-colored Mech is leaning against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, and emotionless ice-blue optics staring right at her.

Alex huffs, "Fine. I'll have a Guardian. But that doesn't change anything."

Optimus nods, and everyone disperses. Alex watches as her newly-appointed Guardian pushes off the wall, gives her a single glance, and leaves. Alex snorts and walks out of the Hangar. She leans against the wall, watching all the soldiers move around, doing their respective jobs.

'Guardian huh? Yeah right.'


Optimus steps into his office, jumping slightly at the sight of Mirage. The red spy is standing in front of his desk, arms crossed and a slight scowl on his face.

"Prime, we need to talk."
