Chapter 4

"So this is the Medbay. I will help Camilla pass her Degree in Nursing and I will expect assistance from Louisa, when she isn't on duty with Prowl. Marion shall be Prime's PA; Primus knows he needs help with all the extra work he's had to do, and Kirsty shall train with Lennox and Epps." Ratchet, now in holoform, smiled.

"Why do I get the short straw?" Kirsty huffed.

"Well maybe if you had a brain you might have been able to do something more useful." Sunstreaker added snottily.

"That's enough out of you!" Ratchet warned as he marched towards the twins who quickly ran away.

"Yeh you better run bitches!" Jazz shouted after them, laughing.

"Come, I'll show you to your rooms." Prowl smiled.


After the girls had unpacked, they all went about their duties. Kirsty had finished early and decided to go for a walk.

"And where are you goin?" Bumblebee ran up behind her.

"Need to take all this in. Been such a crazy few days." Kirsty smiled.

"Everything will be ok." Bumblebee put his hand on Kirsty's shoulder.

"Get back to your post Bumblebee." Ironhide's holoform appeared behind them. Bumblebee slunk off.

"You didn't have to be so nasty, he was only being nice. Didn't anybody tell you manners cost nothing?" Kirsty told Ironhide before walking away. Ironhide followed her.

"You humans are such a hostile race." Ironhide grumbled.

"Shudup." Kirsty snapped.

"Don't go too far, you'll breach the boundaries." Ironhide grabbed Kirsty and pulled her back, making her trip and they both fell to the floor, rolling over one another down a small hill.

"You pleb!" Kirsty coughed as dust settled.

"Typical, I get the blame!" Ironhide complained whilst on top of Kirsty.

"Get off me." she huffed.

"Hmm, we always end up in the same position." Ironhide piped up as he lay there.

"You wanna try a new one? How about my foot up your ass? Now get off me!" Kirsty complained as she tried to push him off her but Ironhide stayed put.

"What are you two doing?" Prowl asked accusingly.

"I'm being held against my will! Arrest him, you're a copper!" Kirsty screeched, making Ironhide jump as he was not expecting her to lose her temper. Ironhide got up and walked away.

"It's nearly recharge time. Don't stray too far. I will be watching you." Ironhide warned as he walked away. Kirsty stuck her tongue out.

Lou was stressing about all the work the Autobots were making her do. She had been glued to a computer monitor for hours now. Her clothes were wrinkled and she had bags under her eyes behind her reading glasses.

"Bloody stupid... ahhh!" she stressed as she slammed her hands on the desk.

"Bloody hell, chillax." Kirsty piped up from the doorway. She was still dressed in her night clothes.

"I've been up all night trying to get it all done! Sometimes they forget we're only human." Lou said.

"I know, I'm trying to get out of weapons training with Ironheart, I mean 'hide." Kirsty smiled making Lou laugh.

"You're such a shit at times, you know that right?" Lou laughed. Kirsty nodded before walking away.

A file popped up on Lou's screen that she had never seen before. She clicked it open and began to read it.

"Oh my god!" she gasped.


Marion was happily reading an ebook she had Ratchet download for her when Lou burst through the door, face bright red with anger.

"What Kirsty done now?" Marion asked not, amused.

"You need to come and see this." Lou ordered.

Back at Lou's desk, Marion read the file on Lou's monitor and looked at Lou concerned. Marion marched straight on to the shooting range where Kirsty was training with the NEST soldiers and Ironhide's holoform.

"You stupid woman! I could have shot you!" Ironhide yelled.

Marion ignored Ironhide and grabbed Kirsty and dragged her out of earshot of Lennox, Epps and Ironhide. The men couldn't hear anything that Marion whispered to Kirsty but they could see by Kirsty's face it wasn't good news. Suddenly Kirsty threw down the old AK-47 she had in her hands and charged at Ironhide. She began punching him hard. Lennox grabbed her and dragged her away violently.

"Don't scrag her like that! She's not a rag doll!" Marion screamed as she went over to help Kirsty but Epps stood in her way. Marion's foot shot up and kicked Epps in-between his legs. The struggle between Lennox and Kirsty stopped. They both stood there in shock.

"Get in there Maz!" Kirsty half laughed the sentence. Marion marched over to them both and Lennox instantly let Kirsty go. Bumblebee and Millie ran towards them.

"What's going on?" Millie asked out of breath as she looked at Epps rolling around on the floor in pain.

Prime was having a discussion with the Lambo twins in holoform when Ironhide's holo ran to him. Blood ran down his face and his left eye had already begun to swell.

"Ironhide! What is it?" Optimus asked.

"The humans have gone mad! Kirsty attacked me and Marion attacked Epps! You must come quickly!" Ironhide spoke fast, trying to hold the anger out of his voice. All four 'men' ran to the main building.

As Prime entered the lab, he heard angry shouting from the other end. He quickly ran to find Lou Marion, Kirsty and Millie screaming at Prowl who then began to spaz out because there was too much information being thrown to him at once.

"What is the meaning of this!" Prime raged.

"I was about to ask you the same!" Lou screamed back and then pointed at the computer screen. The Autobots and soldiers gasped.

"I thought you had deleted that." Ratchet said to Prime.

"So did I." Prime said before hanging his head in shame.
