Jack awoke to the sound of something hitting the ground with a clang.
Instincts kicking in, Jack's hand flew to the knife at his side and he leapt to his feet, drawing his fathers knife.
He stumbled a little, his depth perseption off, but he quickly became accustomed to it and readied himself.
"Calm down, you are safe."
It took a few moments for the raven teen to remember the voice, but then he placed the voice to the name.
Jack slowly lowered his knife before putting it in its sheath. He then turned his gaze to Vukova.
The large wolf Maximal gazed down at him, optics calm.
The onyx haired teen couldn't help but feel safe, and his tense muscles relaxed.
"Hey! He's awake!"
Jack jumped in surprise when a female voice yelled this, and he turned, stunned to see Miko standing in the doorway.
The black and pink haired female grinned as she ran over to Jack.
"Hey! How are you feeling?"
Jack blinked in surprise, then ponderd what to say. He wasn't very use to talking to people.
"I...I feel alright, everything considered." He finally replied.
The sound of many large footsteps brought Jack's attention back to the entryway as the door hissed open. Raf and some Maximals came in, the Maximals, unlike Vukova at the moment, were in their humanoid forms.
One of them moved forward and lifted Jack.
Jack, paniced at the firm grip around him, immediately began to strugle, letting a low growl roll from his lips.
"Put me down. Put me down!" The teen repeated over and over, surprising everyone as he managed to wriggle out the bottom of Stragle Tooth's hand. The medic quickly caught the teen in his other hand, scowling.
"Stop moving, I need to scan your eye to see how far it is in the healing process!"
"Please, calm down. I promise, on my life and honor, that none of us will harm you."
Jack's eyes snapped to Vukova. Even if he'd been blinded completely, the sencerity in the Prime's voice came in waves, and he grudgingly relaxed.
Stragle Tooth scanned the teen, silent for a moment before speaking.
"It seems to be healing quickly, for a human. But it would most likely be in your best interests if one of us helped the healing process along."
"You can do that?" Jack asked quietly, the curiousity in his voice evident.
"Our glossa's can produce a liquid that can speed the healing process for wounds inflicted on both Maximals and humans."
"Your...your what?"
Raf spoke up.
"Glossa's are like their tongues. So to help you heal up, one of them has to..."
The onyx haired teen blinked, then realization hit him.
"No. Nonononono, no one is licking me."
"One problem with that dude." Miko suddenly said, moving so Jack could see her while Stragle Tooth set him down and transformed, his shape being a wolf (though smaller than Vukova).
"Maximals don't take 'no' for an answer when it comes to healing."
Jack yelped, darting away when Stragle Tooth went to put his paws on either side of the teen.
"What in the-? Come back here! Now stop being rediculous!" Stragle Tooth scolded, chasing after the surprisingly spry teen.
"Wow, I knew he was good in gym, but I never knew he was that fast. Miko commented, watching with amusement as Ratchet skidded, nearly running into one of the machines lining the walls.
After a few moments of watching the hilarious sight, and Miko busting up with laughter, Vukova finally stepped in.
Jack yelped when he was grabbed by the collar by a set of strong fangs.
Vukova placed the teen between his paws, trapping him and releasing his collar. He then began to lick at the wound.
Jack stayed silent, glaring heatedly at the still laughing Miko. Though he oddly felt honored and content as the Prime continued to help heal his wound.
He was lucky that the liquid wasn't messy, nor as wet as he expected. It was more of a salve than anything.
"So, your name's Jack, right?" Raf asked hesitantly.
Jack glanced at the younger teen, then nodded.
"That's right."
"You're the one who walked out in the middle of history class last week, when the teacher said Maximals were simply machines."
All eyes and optics turned to the teen, who raised a brow at Raf.
"That...is also correct."
"So, you don't think the stories are right either?"
Jack sighed, not comfortable with the practice of socializing.
"No, I think that people are too scared to see past the metal and fangs. But obviously." He paused, giving the tongue that lapped at his wound a pointed glare.
"The stories are far from true."
Jack tried to sqwirm away, but Vukova simply moved one large, metal paw over the teen's legs, preventing any escape.
Jack growled deep within his throat, crossing his arms unhappily as the Prime continued to lick the blinded eye.
The Prime stopped and stared at Jack in slight surprise, never having heard such a feral sound come from a human. He then returned attending to Jack's eye.
"What about my mom? She doesn't know where I am and-"
"Dude! Relax! Raf used your cell and called her, saying that you were friends and having a sleepover." Miko cut off, grinning.
"Is that true?" Jack asked, looking at the younger male, who nodded.
"Then...Thank you. I don't like to worry my mom, I prefer to not be a burden to her."
Raf blunked, flushing in embarassment, but then grinned.
"No problem."
So this was the last chapter for this thing! I'll try and put out another story using the Primal Max verse soon (and expect to see inter-dimensional transportation in there too!)
I hope you liked it!
