Boti: Okay, they are still on vacation and I have banned Snarf from visiting for the day. Anyways, I own nothing from any show that is mentioned in the chapter. Or on the others. Enjoy!

P.S. In some of my other chapters, my name is Moonlit. Now, on my poetry club, I am known as MoonlitDispair. (Yes I know dispair is actually spelt despair, I misspelled it on purpose) SO! Please don't freak out. I had this all typed out before I got internet. I am trying to catch it, but if I don't, you now know with this reminder.

Before I forget, I don't own Transformers. I just screw around with the characters, add my own, and twist the plot. It's really fun! Tee hee hee!

Chapter Four

Stream filled the air as she relaxed under the running water. She felt the grim of the previous day finally being washed off her skin as her mind filled with unnecessary thoughts. She continued to think about the fear that Optimus had but she shook her head, immediately dispersing them. She saw no need to dwell on it.

After her shower, she quickly dried off and went into the room. Mikalea was nice enough to let her borrow some clothes, a tank and a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. Ava knew she wouldn't stay for a chat since she still had to go work on a less that cooperative Bumblebee.

Ava finally noticed the Wal Mart bag that sat next to the bed and she opened it, finding some rather tempting langurie. A note joined the collection and she felt herself sigh as she realized who wrote it.

Maybe looking sexy will

get your hubby

going. And put on some

make-up, too. You look

pale.

Shadow

"Leave it to you," Ava mumbled as she allowed her towel to drop to the floor. She wasn't really in the mood to play around or even look tempting for someone who would just run away without so much as a word. It tore her apart to think that he feared losing her. She wasn't going anywhere.

"A-Avella!"

Her head immediately turned to the sound of her name. Optimus was standing in front of the door to the room with a rather dark red face. His eyes were wide in shock as she noticed that his hand was still gripping the door nob. His knuckles were beginning to turn white.

"What's wrong?" she didn't even think as she approached him, fear clawing at her. She didn't understand why he was so paniced as she hugged him, hoping to give him some sort of comfort. She vaguely heard the sound of an engine revv, followed by a horn sounding off in the background.

"Avella...p-please cover u-u-up," Optimus felt control slipping through his fingers for the first time in his life. He didn't think that seeing her like this would cause his sanity to stand so close to the edge of a cliff. His processor immediately began to think of ways to please her and he couldn't help from shaking.

"What are you talk-" Ava paused in her sentence to quickly look down, spotting the reason for his reaction. She didn't heisitate to turn and run, picking up the towel to cover up. She began to scream as Optimus quickly vanished from the room.

"Oh my god," she breathed after a moment, calming herself down. She couldn't believe that she had unwittingly walked up to her husband completely naked. She should have known...

Her thoughts paused as it dawned on her that she was acting rather pathetic and stupid. Optimus was her husband. He could see her like this anytime and she shouldn't be so scared.

"Damn," Ava hissed, immediately knowing that her reaction would cause Optimus to take things slower. He would think that he had scared her by seeing her in the state she was in. Ava knew he was probably thinking that right now as she slipped into her clothes. She kept her make-up simple as she continued to give herself mental kicks in the rear before leaving the room.

The main hanger was bustling with people and she spotted someone in a suit complaining about something. She didn't listen to the conversation as she spotted Optimus, making her way past the soldiers. She had noticed that his holoform was glitched a bit, which immediately made her concerned. If he was glitched, then that meant that his alt form had suffered some damage.

"Optimus?" she got his attention as he smiled at her. He didn't make an attempt to hide the exhaustion in his eyes as she grabbed his hand.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," he told her. She continued to stare at him, hoping to get the truth from him.

"Who the hell is this? I thought I made it clear not to allow more kids in on the information of their existence," the man immediately stood in front of Ava. She saw he looked like some official and his attitude was pissing her off. He quickly pointed his finger into her face, screaming at her.

"I want you off property and you will never speak of this ever. Do I make myself clear?" he narrowed his eyes at her. Ava did the same, quickly standing at her full height. Her face was inches from his as she hissed out, "I am not leaving and you can't make me."

"How dare you. I'm-"

"A mere insect in this damn war. SO CAN IT!"

Silence spread throughout the building as all eyes fell upon the scene. Amused looks and silent cheers were noticeable as Ava continued to stand up to the man whom had told her to leave. Lennox immediately ran to the source of the situation as the man opened his mouth to call for someone to escort her off property.

"Hey, she can't leave."

"Why not?"

"Sir," Lennox waved his hand toward Ava, "this is Avella Prime. She's the current princess of Cybertron and the wife to Optimus Prime."

At his words, Optimus transformed and immediately placed his hands on the ground on both sides of her form, challenging the human. Ava, again, didn't flinch or move as he stepped back from the girl.

"Is this some kind of joke? She's a human. She can't possible be the ruler of these aliens."

His words and complaints were silenced as Ava stared back at him. Her whole attitude went from anger to fury in a matter of seconds as her fists clenched at her sides. She felt her whole body tense up at the word alien. He had insulted her people, her husband. Her very heritage.

She felt the ends of her hair curl up as she felt her whole body shake. Everyone watched in surprise and fear as some invisible force surrounded her. Her eyes changed to a bright red as her crown showed itself upon her head. She hadn't realized that it had disappeared while she had showered. But to see it now, it made the man who realized his mistake change his mind.

"Princess? So you're the ruler of the al...Autobots. I am sorry for insulting you, your majesty," he quickly changed his words, trying to avoid conflict. She felt her body immediately relax at his apology but Ava crossed her arms as Optimus lowered his head slightly, hovering it above her form. She made it clear to him in her stance that she was still angry and that it was best for him to leave.

"Why wasn't I informed of her appearance? The president would probably want to meet with her to discuss the current conflict on our planet," he quickly turned away from Ava, finding something else to bitch about. She heard Lennox saying something about a man named Galloway and cursing him under his breath as he followed the strange man. Ava pinched the bridge of her nose before turning to look at Optimus. He was looking down at her as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Was that really necessary?" she asked. He knew that she meant the whole transforming/challenging thing. She could have handled herself with the chicken. In fact, she felt like she could change him into a chicken. She immediately began to wonder how many thank yous she would get if she had the ability to do it.

"I believe it to be necessary," he transformed again, immediately standing by her side. She felt her insides jump from his holoforms sudden appearance but she sighed, ignoring it. She quickly approached his alt form, lifting the hood to expect his 'engine.'

"Avella?"

"You're hurt and I need to see if I can patch it up until Ratchet can fix the problem. Now, if you're going to try and stop me, you might as well stop right there. I am not going to let you," she glared at him, challenging him to even try. Optimus's lips twitched as he looked at her. She looked sexy irritated and he couldn't help the images that appeared.

Ava saw that he was preoccupied with his thoughts, totally oblivious to the kind he was having, as she noticed that a tube was leaking. She wasn't sure if it was energon or not but she quickly looked around, spotting duck tape resting on a container. She had to hold back the giggles that were wanting to escape as she picked it up. It was a neon pink color and the reason why she was laughing silently in her mind.

After her amusement died down, she hopped up on his tire and leaned over. She reached down, realizing that she had to move a few wires in order to reach the injury. A rather large one was in the way and as soon as she touched it, gently tugging it to the side, Optimus's horn went off. Ava jumped in surprise, yelping as her head hit the hood.

"Ow!" she yelled, covering her head. She couldn't hear anything as she looked at Optimus, one eye closed. He was covering his face, trying to hide from the world. He hadn't meant to sound off his horn but being a robot, many of his wires were sensitive. And the one she had was one of the few that were beyond sensitive.

"Please don't do that again," she looked at Optimus as her hearing returned. She cautiously leaned over again, reaching for the large wire again. But she was aware of her surroundings more and realized that Optimus's form was shaking. The shaking got worse when she was able to move the wire and it finally hit her. She was turning him on!

"Oh," she whispered as she patched the leak. She watched it for a moment, making sure it wasn't energon (which could cut through the tape in seconds) and allowing herself another few seconds of giggles at the sight of the pink. Slowly, she stood up, but not before purposely letting her hand caress the wire that had caused her hearing loss on the way back up. She felt his frame shutter as she hopped down. When she looked at Optimus, he was glaring at her but she saw the passion and lust hidden in the holoform's eyes.

"Avella," he warned as he disappeared, only to open the passenger door again. Ava hopped in, seeing Optimus sitting in the driver's seat. It was weird seeing him pretending to drive as he went into the large elevator. It started to move to the lower floors, but instead of the doors opening, everything halted as he looked at her. His fists were clenching the steering wheel tightly as he growled at her.

"What were you thinking?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Avella, you know very well what I am referring too."

His eyes stared into hers as she continued to pretend that she didn't do anything. He was losing control and it was beginning to drive him nuts. What she was doing was near torture.

"Optimus, please, don't be afraid," she whispered. He closed his eyes, ignoring the innocent invitation. She had no idea what she was offering him. He would be selfish. He hadn't seen her in so long that he wouldn't hold back.

"I can't, Avella. I can't take you like this," he smacked his head against the wheel. He felt his insides shaking from the difficulty of holding back. How could she just offer that without knowing the consequences of it?

"You know, this attitude is what made me cry when you left," Ava shot at him. She watched him look at her as she crossed her arms. She was normally shy about things like this but he was her husband. She shouldn't, couldn't be afraid. He wouldn't hurt her anyways.

"I made you cry?"

"You didn't kiss me good bye so what do you think?" she snapped, leaning back into the seat. She couldn't look at him. Her abdomen was twisting in an uncomfortable feeling at her actions toward him. But he needed to get over this whole situation.

She stiffened when she felt his hands on her arm. She looked at him as he sighed, reaching out to caress her cheek. The touch seemed far to real for it to be a holoform as she shivered. His fingers were sliding down her neck, leaving a path of cool skin. But he quickly pulled them back, not wanting to tempt his control any further.

"I am sorry," he finally spoke as the elevator continued to go down. The doors opened and Ava grumbled as they made their way to the med bay. She would have to try and tempt him a bit further. Even if that meant making his control snap.
