"OH NO!" Vector Sigma shreaked in panic as she carefully looked over him while she covered her mouth with one servo. "I made him glitch!" She wailed in dispair. "Does he hate me that much?!"
"Jack is just overwhelmed at the moment, no doubt due to the cybertronian customs." Optimus tried to reason with the hysteric white femme.
"Wait, so you all can get married multiple times?!" Fowler asked in utter shock.
"That is correct William Fowler." Vector sigma told the human as a worried look crept into her optics.
"It was made so to...to keep energon-shed to a minimum, you see Femmes get over-protective and jeolus to others weither they be Mech or Femme."
"To be clear Fowler, homosexuality as humans put it, not a big deal on cybertron, both Mechs and Femmes can be sparked." Arcee explained bluntly, at that comment Raf went pale and Miko stiffened a laugh. "I know for a fact that Knockout and Breakdown are bonded, it's just natural."
"So... the cons...are gay?!" Miko burst out with laughter, leave it to her to point out something and turn it into a joke of some kind or another.
"Wait, hold up, what's sparked?" Fowler asked blankly, all the bots and Raf averted their eyes from the man.
Eventually Bulkhead mimiced a coff. "Uh... I think the term is pregnant."
Fowler passed out with a loud thud. Miko, Raf and Sierra went paler in the faces and Arcee raised an optic ridge at the agent's sudden unconceousness. Even in her shocked state, Miko still took a photo.
"Ugh...fraaaaag." Jack groaned as he rubbed his helm weakly. "What...what happened?"
"You found out multiple marrages are aloud on cybertron." Miko beemed, wanting to see him clitch again.
"Well, when in rome..." Jack sighed with a shrug.
"I thought this was america?" Vector sigma asked blankly, earning a chuckle from Miko.
"Uh...it's an expression like shouting 'by the all-spark' or 'by the pits of koaon'." Jack explained as he got back to his pedes. The container of Optics still in his servo as he closed the lid tight and sighed. "Uh listen, The expression is When in rome, Do what the romans do, it means to follow the customs of the area."
"I see, so you wish for me to follow earth customs?" Vector Sigma asked innocently. "If that's what you wish."
she added with a smile as she pulled a holographic panel up and glyphs shot by on it. After a few moments she giggled and looked at Jack before winking. "My my, you are a lustful one aren't you?"
"Uh..." Jack didn't know what she was talking about...wait, the device wasn't connected to the internet, was it? Please primus don't let it be so!
"Mating in the back of a transportation? Mating with three femmes? I think I'll try all of these." Vector Sigma smiled seductively at Jack. Miko forgot all jeolicy, she just laughed and laughed loud, Raf was left looking clueless while Sierra and Sam bit back laughter, even Optimus cracked a smile. "I think you'd love to meet my twinspark Flareup, she's a fun kind of femme and would get along well with you."
"Jackson, I believe you and Vector Sigma should...discuss, this in private, I am sure your mother and Rafael's parents do not wish for him to hear of such talks." Optimus reasoned as he gestured down to Rafael with his massive servo.
"Come on smooth operator, I'll help fill you in." Arcee smiled as she grabbed Jack by his arm and pulled him down the halls with Vector Sigma following with the crates under arm and a grin on her face. They stopped by a door which Jack recognised as his new room which ment he had to open it with a code, which he did.
Inside the room was a massive berth, Jack wondered why the bots gave him such a massive place to sleep but it turned out it was a setup by his mum and his Brother Bumblebee to get him to sparkbond. There was also several boxes he'd yet to unpack from his old house which was destroyed and only some things were salvagable, then there was the massive bot sized desk and a private double washroom, he was sure now that his mum HAD set this up and on purpose too.
"It seams that you have an officer's room." Vector sigma stated sounding impressed. "You must be just like your sire to deserve this."
Arcee nudged him in his arm and he gave her a 'what?' expression with she smirked and nodded in Vector Sigma's direction. Jack put two and two together, his aunt was trying to get them together, just as she and Chromia had apparently done with his mum and Optimus.
"Actually, I think it was just mum and 'bee setting me up." Jack admitted nervously. "The worst I've ever done to the cons is blow up their ships."
"Oh, you're good." Vector Sigma smiled fondly as Jack sat down on the berth. "You are stunning, just...
I don't know where to begin, you're loyal, you're intilectual but not too much to the point where you are boring and you're brave, taking on decepticons and scraplets unarmed and outmatched, I am impressed."
Jack looked at Arcee pleeding with his optics at her to help, unfortunately she seamed this would be a good time to leave and close the door behind her. Jack mentally groaned, it HAD been a setup this whole time and Arcee was in on it!
"Are you alright?" Vector Sigma asked Jack. "If I've offened, I am sorry I was just following customs and my spark..."
"Your spark?" Jack asked in confusion. "h-how?"
"I keep track of the knowledge of all primes Jackson, including your fathers, when I first herd of you,
admittedly, I had my doubts, thought you'd become splatter in a week..." Vector Sigma stated, Jack muttered a bit in annoyance at that comment. "...However, I was proven wrong, a first for me. Me smartest being on cybertron asides Solus and Alpha trion and I was wrong!" She laughed.
"Real assuring." Jack said sarcastically.
"I am sorry...I-I...I have offended you, I'm sorry." Vector Sigma apologized, leaving Jack stunned, didn't Arcee once tell him that Femme's will do anything to prove themselves to their partners, like she had done with cliffjumper years ago, only for him to have his spark snuffed out. "I'm an ugly discrace!"
"You're not an ugly discrace." Jack told her, then realised, he'd been played.
"I'm not?" Vector Sigma asked.
"No, no you're not, Megatron or frenzy, now they're ugly." Jack tried to smile. He once might of wanted to pull fun of Vince but he's gone now, murdered by Jack's derranged great aunt Airachnid with the help of a vehicon who chaced vince right into one of her snairs where she finished him off, by the time Jack and Arcee arrived, all was left was a headless corpse with torn and tattered clothing.
"I'd say." Vector Sigma smiled kindly, Jack had to admit she was cute when she did it. If miko were in the room she'd say something along the lines of 'Dude...just ask her out already!'.
"Look, if you say no, I will understand but I wish to try this human corting ritual called a 'Date'
with you, I believe it is a custom here and you were raised by local customs?"
Jack nodded, he was pretty darn sure where this was going, it was the same trick he'd seen in a movie before, the kind of movie his mum would scrap him for watching. Then again, he'd seen worse, Like the time Miko tried hitting on Ratchet just to see his reaction, that was horrifying beyond anything he'd seen, even Vince's remains. "Fine, one date BUT you'll need a human alt form or a earth based vehicle mode, hologram at the very least, if I'm seen in public dating a cybertronian, people will flip out, ask questions or pester me at school forever!" Jack groaned the last part, earning a sympathetic look from Vector Sigma, had she gone throgh simular?
"I have access to pretender alts yes, a humanoid yes and a quintisession." Vector Sigma replied after looking over her holographic device, there was a screech of Joy from outside the room and a groan from Arcee, a very agitated groan. Jack cringed, Miko had been spying!
"Uh, hold that thought." Jack told Vector Sigma as he got up and walked to the door and opened it.
It wasn't Miko it was a grey, red and gold femme with a flame patern up her body. She was a two-wheeler alright, same frame type as Arcee too but she had wings. Like bird-like wings made of a gold frame and red crystal-like pieces of metal. "SIS!" She cried joyfully as she lunged at Vector Sigma and the two embraced in a tight hug. Knowing the situation of most Bots, they probebly hadn't seen eachother in centuries, maybe even malenia.
"Flareup!" Vector Sigma smiled as she swung the smaller femme around her playfully. "How've you been?"
"Bored as scrap." The new femme pouted then looked at Jack. "wow...what a cutie!"
"Uh...hi?" Jack asked nervously. "Uh...flareup, right?"
"yes!" She squeaked in joy. "Oh you are too handsome! Ugh...why is it all the good looking mechs are high-ranking and ignore us?"
"I'm not trying to ignore you." Jack detested and got a passionate kiss from Flareup. Jack's cooling fans kicked in, a sighn which ment he was embarrissed or blushing. The next thing he heard was a purring sound, like a large cat. The sound got louder as Vector Sigma started kissing him, then there was a sensassion of a pleasent electric shock and they all passed out.
When Jack woke up he noticed both femme in stasis either side of him holding him as though their lives er...sparks depended on it. Then, he heard it, the click of a camera. MIKO!
"Dude...somebody got lucky." Miko giggled. Jack's fans went into overdrive, if he were in his human alt mode at the time, his face would be as red as a tomato. "Too bad I didn't record it."
Jack sighed with relief, Miko didn't see anything...he hoped.
As Jack went to sit up, Vector Sigma wrapped her arms around his chassis(chest) and hugged him tighter,
it warmed his spark with the embrace so he returned it.
There was another click of a camera. "Instant blackmale." Miko smirked then sprinted out of the room,
Jack would of given chase, but nothing mattered to him at the moment, there were so many new emotions and unknown memories flooding through his mind, some from flareup's perspective, others from Vector Sigma's perspective. Jack new war could be terrible, but what they had seen and gone through, it was horrifying. Flareup had once been under his mum's command, she'd seen sparklings masecred by decepticons, SPARKLINGS! It was enough to make his energon boil, but he quickly calmed down, Flareup even though she was out cold still sent him reassuring fealings and emotions,
Jack sighed slightly as he looked at her. She had been through so much, it was impressive that she had been though all that and still tried to act happy, but Jack guessed it was just her way of dealing with the pain of it all.
"Sweetspark..." Flareup muttered. "Calm down...I...fine"
Jack smiled softly as he carefully removed their arms from around him, he had to get some energon soon,
his tank was almost empty. As he entered the main area of the silo he noticed Miko showing her phone to both Elita/June and Optimus.
"Jack, congradulations!" June smiled at him. "You're bonded!"
"Huh?" Jack asked as he rubbed his helm. "That's...married right?"
"Indeed it is." Optimus nodded as he walked over to Jack with three cubes of energon. "One for each of you,
next time, you may wish to lock the door, Miko had taken photographs of after..."
"Alright but how are we bonded?" Jack asked.
"Dude...you frag 'em, you marry 'em!" Miko piped up.
"Okay, so I just married two sisters...is that even legal?!" Jack called in shock.
"It is Jackson, they are splitsparks, twins if you will." Ratchet explained from his console. "When a splitspark becomes bonded, so does their twin, it's half the reason nobody wants to bond to Arcee, her sister Chromia and her were a deadly combination, both masterful assassins during the way, each of them capible of killing off entire baches of Vehicons with thier weapons."
"Remind me, don't make her mad." Jack shuddered before walking off with the three cubes of energon. In his room both Flareup and Vector Sigma were still in stasis but Jack knew they'd need the energon so he carefully woke them up, instantly he recieved kissed from both of them. "Need some energon?"
"I'm good for now." Flareup smiled as she patted her chest armor with both servos, which Jack didn't understand.
"Alright, Vector Sigma?" Jack asked the half-asleep femme. "Need some energon?"
"Yes please." She smiled as Jack handed her the cube of energon. She bit off the corner and began to drink it as Jack did his.
When they were finished they noticed Flareup had drunk half of the third cube but put the rest up onto the desk.
"Uh, flare, why did you pat your chest armor when mentioning your tanks?" Jack asked in confusion. "And why not just one tank."
"Jack, femmes have two tanks, uh, in place of female human anatomy in the area." Vector sigma explained.
"We've got tank boobs." Flareup smiled cheakily. Oh primus! She's like Miko! "Hey who's Miko?"
"Did she just..." Jack asked.
"Hear your thoughts, yes, that is a part of our bond we share." Vector Sigma explained.
Jack's helm sparked as his vission went blue, he had glitched again.
"Oh dear, he's glitched..." Flareup sighed. "Got a marker?"
