Now most humans when they see a car they think nothing more, it's just an average car that drives by day by day. But as this new green car drove by the people of Jasper, they didn't know that their thinking of it being a normal was totally and utterly wrong.

Now Matilda knew that her car was special. She knew for some time now, but she didn't mind. Wasp was like family to her, and she would do anything for the speech impaired mech. So when he needed repairs, she mended him. When he need a new coat of paint, she do it without asking why. And when the big guy needed to refuel, she would buy him enough gas to keep him filled for days.

And that was where they were going right now. They had passed a gas-station when they first entered Jasper and Matilda knew that not too far from it was also a burger joint. As Wasp pulled up to the station and parked next to a pump, Matilda stepped out and saw some very out of place vehicles.

One was a large green hummer parked on the side of the gas-station building. It was a dark green than Wasp and extremely larger. Where Matilda stood taller than Wasp in his car mode, this hummer was massive and stood maybe four or five inches taller than her.

Next to the hummer was a bright yellow and black car. Oddly enough this car looked to be the same make and model as Wasp had scanned over. But all the windows were tinted and looked to be kept in better shape than Wasp. True, Matilda kept Wasp clean and dent free but this car just seemed to have that forever brand new look to it.

And not too far from the other cars was a motorcycle that Matilda knew for a fact belonged to the boy named Jack she had ran into. It was a dark blue with pink highlights here and there, a small window guard, and was propped up on its kickstand.

Staring at them for a moment, Matilda had a feeling that she was stared right back at. Shrugging her shoulders, Matilda turned back to Wasp and began to fill his tank. Once the pump stopped, meaning Wasp's tanks were filled, Matilda turned to head into the building. "I'll be right back." Matilda said and Wasp signaled her with a quick turn of the wheel.

Entering the building, Matilda saw that it was filled with assorted items of food, knickknacks, and other things. And off in a corner of the building, next to a drink dispenser was Jack, Miko, and a little boy with wild brown hair. Walking over to the three, Matilda smiled and saw that Jack had seen her too as he waved to her. "Hey Jack." Matilda said as she finally reached them.

"Matilda, hi." Jack said. "What you doing here?" Pointing outside, Matilda looked at Wasp who was waiting patiently. "I needed to fill my car up. Hope I get my paycheck soon. I only have enough cash left to buy me a few meals from drive ins." Matilda said and Miko nodded. "I know right? Gas prices are crazy these days." Nodding her head, Matilda turned to look at the smaller boy who had a big pair of glasses on.

"Nice to meet you." Matilda said as she held her hand out and the boy took it. "You too. Names Rafael but people just call me Raf." the boy, Raf, said with a smile. "Cool name Raf. Suits you." Matilda said and Raf smiled up at her. "So Jack and Miko told me that you are working at the auto-shop?" Matilda nodded. "Yup, ever need help with vehicles just call me."

Nodding his head, Jack turned his attention to the green car parked outside. Something was still off about it. Maybe it was Arcee's paranoia getting to him. "So... you have the day off or something?" Miko asked, bringing Jack back to reality to see Matilda shaking her head. "The shop doesn't open till later. So I figured I give the town a look around. You know, find my way around." Matilda said and everyone nodded.

"Well at least you don't have to worry about getting lost. Jasper is a small town, one minute you're at the school the next your at the library." Jack said and Matilda nodded. "That's cool." Walking up to the cash register, Matilda paid for her gas while Jack and his friends paid for their junk. "Well, it was nice talking to you all, but I got to go. I'm heading to that K.O place for something to eat." Matilda said as she walked out of the building.

"See you later Matilda." Raf, Miko, and Jack responded together as they made their way to their vehicles. "She's nice." Raf said and Jack nodded. "I think Jack likes her more than he's letting on." Miko spoke up and it made Jack's cheeks go bright red. "Really Miko?"

As the three kids made their way to their guardians, they all saw that they were all turned a bit and were all facing towards Matilda's car. "What's wrong guys?" Jack asked. "Something's not right with that car over there." Bulkhead said and the three humans turned to see Matilda climbing into the drivers seat before it quickly drove off. "What about it?" Raf asked.

"Can't say. It... just doesn't feel right." Bumblebee spoke as Raf stepped into the back seat. As Miko climbed into Bulkhead's passengers seat, the Asian girl watched as the green car stopped at the red light. "Could it be a Decepticon?" she asked. "Can't say," Arcee said as Jack took his seat and put on his helmet. "Never heard of a 'Con having a human as a pet."

"Maybe we should call Ratchet?" Jack asked. "Maybe he can scan over the area." Agreeing to this, the group drove off down th path the green car had taken; trying to catch up and follow it. "Ratchet," Arcee spoke out into the comm. link. "Scan over the town. We think there might be a Decepticon driving around."

"Will do." Ratchet responded, and quickly began to scan over the area from the base and his computers. "I don't see anything. The only spark signatures I see are you three... wait a second." the medic said as he typed something into the computer. "There is another signal nearby, but it's being masked. Poorly masked I might add." Ratchet responded and that made everyone go into a state of shock. "How far is it, Ratchet?" Arcee asked, finally seeing the green car in her sights.

"Only a few feet away from your current position. Don't engage it, wait for Optimus and myself to come. I can bring the children back to base."Ratchet said but none of the three bots listened as they drove a bit closer to the car. Seeing that they had some followers, Matilda had an uneasy feeling going through her. "Hey Wasp, let's skip going to that drive through."

At hearing this the green mech became confused, for he had not seen the vehicles following him. "Wasp asks why?" Wasp asked and Matilda peered into the review mirror. "Just trust me." Matilda said and Wasp did as she asked. He always trusted her so if she said to skip the drive through, he would skip it. Driving past the K.O burger, the Autobots and their partners noticed that the green car wasn't stopping.

"Matilda said she was going to K.O." Jack said and it worried him now. "Ratchet, how far are you and Optimus?" Bulkhead asked, wanting to get Miko out of here if something was going to happen. "We just entered Jasper. Drop the children off at the school, I'll be there to pick them up." the medic spoke out and they all took a left turn to head to the school.

Seeing that she was no longer being followed, Matilda sighed. "Ok, I think we're good Wasp." she said and Wasp was now starting to worry. "What wrong Maudy?" Wasp asked and Matilda shrugged. "It's nothing, I just thought-" But Matilda never finished as she saw in the mirror a large semi truck and the green hummer from before. "Oh shoot."

Finally looking behind him, Wasp saw what was making Matilda worried. "Wasp being follow." Wasp said and his mind began to work over time. This could be more of his kind, Cybertronians, but what if they were Decepticons? Not wanting to find out with Matilda possibly getting hurt, Wasp made a turn that began to lead him out of Jasper.

But that did them no good as the two vehicles still followed them and to top it all of, coming out from nowhere was the yellow and black car along with... Jack's bike? But it had a different driver, Matilda noticed. This driver was wearing a full body bike suit with a matching helmet. That was not Jack.

"We have to loose them." Matilda said as she pointed off road. "Go there Wasp." Matilda said and Wasp did as she told. Driving off road, Wasp and Matilda were shock to see their followers still coming after them. "Pick up the speed Wasp." Matilda said and Wasp didn't need to be asked twice. Speeding up well past 60 miles per hour, Wasp soon found out that no matter how fast he went he was still being followed.

"Well what do they- Wasp look out!" Matilda shouted just as out of nowhere an ambulance appeared and nearly crashed into them. Quickly turning to miss it, Wasp spun around until he was face to face with these stalkers. As all the vehicles slowly drove up to Wasp, Matilda had just about had enough of these guys. Opening her door and stepping out, Matilda stood in front of Wasp which brought everyone to a halt.

"What is your deal?!" she shouted with her hands on her hips. "Why are you following us?!" The Autobots were in shock. They didn't expect the human to come out. To be honest, they had all thought she was a prisoner of a Decepticon. "Well?! Are you guys going to come out or am I gonna have to come over there and make you?" Matilda shouted and it was then Wasp saw something.

On the semi's grill was... an Autobot symbol! These were Autobots! His kind was here on Earth! Not even thinking if he should transform or not, Wasp transformed and stood behind Matilda with a shock expression on him. "Wasp?! What are you doing?" Matilda asked and once the name was spoke the rest of the Cybertronians transformed and stood in front of Matilda with their weapons drawn.

"It's a Decepticon!" Bulkhead shouted out, his gun already warm up to shoot. "Whoa! And I thought you were big Wasp." Matilda said in awe at the bots that stood in front of her. "Lower your weapons!" Optimus shouted out. "The human could be harmed." And it finally processed in Wasp's mind what was happening. Looking down at his chest plates, he saw the horrible but still a bit visible Decepticon symbol.

He never really thought about taking it off before, on account that he wasn't sure if he would ever see his kind again and that he just never thought to take the stupid thing off. Another marvelous mess up his problem solving defect brain did for him.

Quickly picking Matilda up, Wasp began to back up. "No Wasp Enemy." He tried to explain but it appeared that they didn't believe him. "Yeah right. And that 'Con symbol is a lie, right?" Looking at the bot who had spoken, Wasp froze. That yellow and black bot was... it couldn't be, could it? "Bumble-bot?" Wasp spoke out and it only made the angry look on Bee's face burn more. "Long time no see, Wasp." Bee said as he held his blasters up still.

"You know this 'Con Bee?" Bulkhead asked. "I did... once. But that was before he joined the Decepticons." Bee said and it made Wasp spark sink. His old time friend, one he trusted more than any other bot, thought he had left him for the Decepticons. "I know him too." Arcee said as she glared at the green mech. "This fragger blaster my arm off in battle once."

Now Wasp knew that this was not going to end well. And, even though his problem solving wasn't the best, he knew it was best if he got himself and Matilda out of here. Quickly transforming, Wasp drove off with Matilda in his seat and dare not look back to see if the bots were following.

"He's getting away!" Bulkhead shouted but was stopped when Optimus placed a servo on his shoulder. "We cannot endanger a human in this conflict. It is best if we get him alone and then confront him." the Prime spoke but his attention caught sight of the anger filled optics of Bumblebee. "Something is troubling you." Optimus spoke to the scout who let out a loud and irritated beep.

"Wasp is a no good backstabbing lier. He saved my life once and right after that he joined the Decepticons. Me and him were the best of friends... but I guess that was a lie when he joined the 'Cons." Bee said as he crossed his arms over his chest plates. "I am sorry to hear that." Optimus spoke, understanding the feeling of loosing someone close to you. "It doesn't matter. The quicker we get him under lock and key, the better."


Driving quickly into the garage, which Matilda had opened, Wasp parked inside while the human quickly shut the door. "What was that?!" Matilda shouted as she turned around to face the green vehicle. "Why did you go and transform like that?!"

Not really thinking it was the best to transform now, Wasp gave off a wine but couldn't find the right words to say. Whenever Matilda was mad, which rarely happened with him, Wasp was unable to find his words and all that came out was gurgled noises and scratchy tones from his voice box.

Sighing loudly, Matilda tried to cool down. She knew that Wasp would never answer her when she was like this. "Okay, Let's take a minute to breathe here." Matilda said as she sat down on Wasp's hood. "Now, can you tell me who those guys were?"

Thinking as best his distorted mind could, Wasp tried to work the words out. "Wasp knew bots. Wasp worked with bots be-fur... be-fur this." Wasp said, finally transforming, and tapping the side of his helm which was damaged. At hearing this, Matilda became a bit shocked. Wasp had never told her much about his past and hearing that he knew some of those bots before she found him was shocking.

"I see..." was all Matilda said in response. To be honest, she felt hurt. Hurt that there was others out there who lived on Earth and knew Wasp and that they wanted to harm him. Hurt because Wasp never told her about his past coworkers. Hurt that... that all this was so confusing.

Taking a seat on the mech's crisscrossed legs, Matilda sighed and hung her head. "Why did they attack you Wasp? Friends don't do that." Thinking on it, Wasp pointed to the Decepticon symbol he still wore. "Why would that mean anything?" Matilda asked. "Two war sides." Wasp said, "Wasp and they on one side. Wasp then made to change sides."

"So... were you on the good side or..." Matilda couldn't bring herself to say it. Wasp wasn't like that. The kind to hurt people. Heck, whenever the green mech saw an animal in the road he would slow down and avoid it. "Good side, first. Bad side... later." Wasp said with a sad tone. "Wasp no want to be the bad guy. Wasp was forced into being bad guy. Wasp no want to hurt people... Wasp no want to hurt Maudy."

Placing a large digit under the small human's chin, Wasp lifted her head to look her in the eyes. "Wasp no real bad guy. Maudy knows this, right?" Smiling at the desperate look in Wasp's optics, Matilda nodded. "I do. And we can work through this. When we see them again, we can fix this whole mess."

Nodding his helm, Wasp felt something drip from his helm and Matilda saw what it was. "You broke that line again Wasp." she said as she stood up and inspected the open wound. "You are going to have to chill on the driving for a bit. That get away you did was too much for it." Jumping down from Wasp's leg, Matilda walked over to a pile of metal and picked up a piece.

"After I fix that, I need to open the shop. You going to be okay sitting outside for today?" Matilda asked and Wasp nodded, albeit slowly. "Okay, now hold still. You broke off the whole metal covering I did last time so this will take a bit."


As the day passed, the Autobots were in high alert. A Decepticon was found driving through town, with a human, and to top it all off Bumblebee knew this mech. "He is a no good mech. Next to Starscream, Wasp was like his second in command in telling Autobot secrets." Bee said as everyone stood in the main room discussing the strange mech they had seen.

"Did you see how he scooped up that girl? Tell me that isn't a hostage." Bulkhead said to Ratchet who nodded his helm. "Best we find them quickly and set her free." The medic replied as he walked over to the computers and started a town wide scan looking for the green mech.

Off to the side, on the human walk area, Jack, Miko, and Raf were all in a tight circle talking about when they ran into Matilda. "It just seems odd." Jack started. "She didn't seem to be scared or trying to escape." Miko nodded as she peered at the bots to see them not paying attention. "She looked pretty laid back if you ask me."

"But she was with a Decepticon." Raf added. "Why would she or him be together?" Shrugging his shoulders, Jack turned to see Arcee looking at them in question. "You don't believe that she's in danger?" the femme asked. "We didn't say that, but the way she acted when she was around us and when we saw her in the shop-"

"Wait, wait, wait, what shop?" Bulkhead asked. "She works at the auto-body shop in town." Miko responded. "A real grease monkey." At hearing this, Optimus and Ratchet shared a glance. "Could you take us there." Optimus asked. "I... I guess. But it's a real public area. You guys would have to stay in alt-mode." Jack said and Optimus nodded. "Very well. We will go now and you can show us where you saw them."

Nodding their heads, Jack and Miko gave directions to the auto-shop with the rest of the team listened closely.


Back at the shop, work was alive and busy. A car needed a new tire, a truck needed a new muffler, and what appeared to be an old jalopy came in with engine troubles. But even with all this work to busy herself, Matilda was worried. What if those bots came after her and Wasp?

It wasn't like they had nowhere to run to, it was just that they needed to leave before they came after them... or more after Wasp.

Matilda knew she was no match for those war trained aliens. What could she do? Toss a pebble in their eye? Matilda didn't like to emit it but she was practically useless. The only things she wasn't useless for was watching over Wasp and knowing how to fix up a car.

"Yo kid, you okay?" one of the other works, Mark his name was, asked as he had taken notice that Matilda was staring at the wall with a wrench in her hand for the past twelve minutes. Shaking her head, Matilda turned to Mark with a forced smile. "I'm fine. Just thinking is all." Matilda said as she placed the wrench down on a table, why she needed it she couldn't remember.

"Must be a big something to think on if you found the wall interesting." Mark said as he slammed the hood down of a car. "You could say that." Matilda said as she walked over to the vehicle that needed a new tire. "Matilda, someone's outside needs to see you." Ted said as he came up to the young girl. "I think they said their engine's been acting up and they want a look at it. I can change this tire for you."

Nodding her head, Matilda walked outside but as she exited the building and made her way to the back she wished she hadn't. All over the parking lot was the vehicle modes of the bots that Matilda and Wasp had drove into yesterday, and two of said vehicles were surrounding Wasp. Walking up to her green car, Matilda could already see Wasp's driving wheel spinning in worry at being surrounded.

"What do you want?" Matilda asked to the green car that was parked on one side of Wasp. "We need to get you out of here." rolling down the window, Miko stuck her head out and Matilda could see Jack sitting in the driver's seat next to her. "Why?" Matilda asked. "There's no danger here." Hearing a door open, Matilda turned to see Raf stepping out of the yellow car that was on the other side of Wasp. "There is." Raf started. "Decepticons are not safe."

Letting out a huff, Matilda crossed her arms. "And like you guys are all that much safer? Who attacked who yesterday?" at hearing this, Wasp gave a soft rev of his engine, hoping to tell Matilda to be careful. "Decepticons cannot be trusted." a new voice spoke up, a white and orange medical vehicle pulled up and opened its door to show no one inside. "Now get in so we can get you away from this monster."

Glaring daggers at the vehicle, Matilda opened Wasp's door and slowly stepped inside. "I only drive with Wasp." she said and Miko looked at her dumbfounded. "Are you crazy?" the Asian girl asked. "If you guys want to talk to me, Wasp comes along too. I trust him more then I will ever trust you guys." Matilda said and if Wasp could he would have been smiling that he had such a loyal friend like Matilda.

"Very well," the large semi truck said from behind Wasp and Matilda. "If that is what you wish. Follow us." One by one, the vehicles drove off, The semi leading the way, Wasp and Matilda in the middle, and the yellow car and blue motorcycle taking up the rear. By the time the group made it outside Jasper, a large green swirling portal opened up before them and one by one swallowed them all.

As the drove through the portal, Matilda only had one thing on her mind.

That she had just made the biggest mistake of her life.
