Sabrina's POV
We arrive at the base. I see Miko and Jack get off of Arcee. Then Rafael gets out of Bumblebee.
"Arcee, you said there were two boys." Ratchet asks.
"Miko, probably just eavesdropped on a conversation and saw Arcee."
"Wow, Sabrina, you're good," Arcee says.
"Thanks, so is Optimus going to give us the run down on why you guys are here? I need to practice my violin so I can prove to Priscilla Collins that I am a better musician than she is." I said.
"Who is this Priscilla Collins person?" Cliffjumper asks.
We all had turned around when Optimus walked in the room. "Cliffjumper you'll have to wait a few minutes before Sabrina can answer your question." he speaks.
"So, what planet are you robots from?" I ask.
"Cybertron." Cliffjumper says.
"Why are you and the others here on Earth, Optimus?"
"Cybertron does not have the means to support life after centuries of civil war," Optimus answers, "And to protect your planet from the Decepticons."
"I take it the Decepticons are those purple cars that tried to blast Brandon and I yesterday."
"Yes, where is your little brother?" Cliffjumper asks.
"Dad is watching him. I only babysit Brandon when dad is working late."
"What caused the civil war to break out on your planet? What were you fighting over?" Raphael asks.
"Over our planet supply of Energon." Optimus answers.
"I take it Energon is your version of our blood. If you don't have it flowing inside your body, you can't function."
"Exactly Sabrina, wow you are smart." Cliffjumper compliments.
Optimus continues to explain what happened during the war on Cybertron. Miko starts to get bored and asks if there is going to be a quiz after he finishes his lecture. I give her a friendly shove before I ask the most important question of all. "Why did you bring us here? We didn't do anything wrong, except for Miko, the rest of us were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"I fear that Megatron may return to seek revenge. If he does, your planet could become like Cybertron barren and unable to support life."
"I'd be okay if Megatron could erase all little brothers in the world."
"Come on Sabrina. I'm sure that you don't mean that." Jack says.
"Brandon goes into my room without asking. Then makes it like a bomb went off or break things - like my science fair projects. Dad just baby's him and yells at me when I get mad at him like I'm the bad guy."
"He should be here as well, so we can protect him, and the rest of you until we can figure out what the Decepticons are planning."
"Optimus, not to sound ungrateful or anything, but bring a four-year-old here is not a good idea. He would just get hurt, and I'd have to take the heat since I'd be in charge of him. Plus, I have a bad feeling that Ratchet isn't too keen on your plan."
"Sabrina is correct, Optimus, if these human children get caught underneath our feet." Ratchet says.
"You could squish us."
"We will be careful where we walk." Optimus says in a reassuring tone.
A few seconds later, an alarm goes off. Honestly, it's much less annoying than my alarm clock in the morning - well the morning my dad let's me sleep in it that is. "I thought that they would have deactivated all the security measures on this missile silo. Considering the Army, abandoned it several years ago."
"We reactivated them when we moved in." Cliffjumper says.
Ratchet pulls up the image from the camera, "It's Agent Fowler, along with Agent Tucker and his wife."
"Agent Tucker?" Miko says.
"Sabrina, your last name is Tucker right?" Jack asks.
"Yes, but my parents aren't cool enough to be secret agents." I answer, "Optimus, I thought my friends, Brandon and I were the only humans that knew you existed."
"Agent Fowler and his teammates were assigned to be our liaison to the outside world," Optimus explains, "They only come if there are issues."
"I guess you want us to hide."
Optimus nods. We run away and hide underneath a fleet of stairs close to where Arcee and Bumblebee are standing. We lean against the wall and I peak my head out when I hear the elevator door slide open. I see Agent Fowler then my mom and dad exit right behind him.
"Prime, what are you 'Bots doing out there?" Dad snaps.
"I had complaints from my superiors about a three-hour traffic jam." Agent Fowler adds.
"Not to mention the seven accidents and 34 fender benders. Also reports of a speeding motorcycle of unknown make." Dad continues.
"You forgot about them mentioning a custom black-and - yellow muscle car." Agent Fowler says as he finishes my dad's rant.
"Calm down you two, no one got hurt. I'm sure Optimus has everything under control." Mom says.
I quickly lean back against that wall as I attempt to wrap my brain around the fact that my mom never went to fight overseas. She and my dad have been keeping it a secret that they are working for the government as secret agents. I guess their lesson that secrets and safety don't go together was a lie. I set my violin case down in between me and Miko. She accidentally kicks it away from the wall with her right foot.
"Miko, way to blow our cover." I whisper.
"Sorry." She whispers back.
A few seconds I hear the universal signal that kids know you're in trouble when my mom shouts, "Sabrina Lilah Tucker, get out here right now," I slowly walk over to my violin and pick it up. I go over to the stairs and stand in front of them.
"Agent Fowler, we have to talk with our daughter."
"I understand. Prime, please do all of us a huge favor and handle this under the radar before we resort to using the military." Agent Fowler says.
After he leaves, my parents turn their attention back to me.
"Sabrina, how did you get involved in this?" dad asks.
"Yesterday, when you told me to pick up Brandon. We were walking home, we got attacked. Then Cliffjumper showed up and saved us."
"Thank you Cliffjumper for saving my family. " Mom says.
"You're welcome, ma'am." Cliffjumper says.
"Dad, did you hire a babysitter to watch Brandon?"
"Yes, I did." Dad answers.
"I guess I have to say goodbye to everyone, don't I?"
"No, Sabrina, I believe that Optimus is right. The Autobots are more capable of protecting you from the Decepticons than your father and I can." Mom says.
"Thank you, mom."
"You're welcome, but remember I want you home before 10:15 tonight."
"I will be home on time, I promise."
My parents leave to meet up with Agent Fowler. I walk back down the stairs to join the others and see a shocked expression on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't believe you have a 10:15 curfew on a school night." Jack says.
"Why is that so unbelievable?" I ask.
"Because my Curfew is 10 pm."
"My parents are slightly less overprotective than your mom, I guess."
I walk over to the area where the TV is. I set my things down and take my sheet music out of my book bag as Miko walks up to me.
"Sabrina, have you noticed that you don't look like your parents?" she asks
"Yeah, so what. Some children look like their parents, and some don't, why do you ask?"
"I was just curious if you ever considered that you're adopted?"
