Zirconia: I don't care if Jazz died, I brought him back. Thank you xMoonStorm for helping me out with the fluff and stuff.
The stuff in italics are usually her scanner or a flashback.
"So you came from a planet called Cybertron during a war that ended up here on Earth?" Jason took another sip of his sweet tea as Michael continue to ask his questions. The humans along with the holograms had decided to go into a resturaunt and discuss the situation. It had been awhile since the humans had ate anything so the holograms sat with them at the big rounded table in a mexican resturaunt, "So this mega guy is dead?"
"Yes." Optimus nodded, his long dark blue hair spilling over his shoulders when ever he moved his head. He was sitting beside Jazz who was wearing his sunglasses and occasionally twirling a finger around one of his dread locks, "Why is a human working with the Decepticon's?" He stopped twirling the dread lock and sat up straight, laying his head on top of his arms on the table, "It doesn't make sense for Decepticons and humans to get along."
"I'm pretty sure she was the one who shot Alexis the other night." Bumblebee saw the lights flicker but paid no attention to it and shifted his blue eyes over to Angel across from him. He could tell something was bothering her but Ratchet soon snapped her out of her trance, taking her small pale hand in his large one with a gentle smile. Bumblebee couldn't help but smile as well. Ratchet had an attraction to this human, he could tell. He seemed so much happier with her.
Ironhide brought Bumblebee away from his thoughts when he punched his gloved fist on the table, talking about the human from earlier, "Dog gone it! Why th' hell would they have a human! They hate humans! It isn't at all like 'em..." He brooded, resting his head in his hand as his elbow propped on the table. He was glaring off into the distance. The lights flickered once again only this time everyone noticed it.
"Someone needs to put in a new light bulb." Jazz snorted. The sound of a soft thunderclap filled their ears. Angel tightened her grip on Ratchet's hand who just rubbed his other hand up and down her arm comfortingly. Ratchet was suprised that they had even heard it over the sounds of the many conversations going on in the section of the resturaunt they were in. Ironhide looked up, not taking his head from his hand, "Lovely..." he muttered sarcasticly.
Everyone seemed to huddle together in the restaurant as the rain pounded the roof. It was loud, but not bad, the lights flickered from the wind's speed. at the round table everyone chose someone close by to scoot closer to for comfort, there was a possibility that it wasn't just a bad thunderstorm...
Angel moved closer to Ratchet, gripping his hand tighter. Beside them Mikaela did the same with Sam. Bumblebee leaned against Ironhide taking comfort in his broad form. Ironhide rolled his eyes a bit but didn't pull away, he was his 'guardian' after all. Jazz saw this and decided to create a scene by throwing himself on Optimus and fake crying loudly, "Hold me!! I'm scared!"
"Jazz...get off me."
Jazz let go of him holding his sides while he laughed. Prime on the other hand wasn't to amused, his hologram's eyebrow twitching. Ironhide ducked his head covering his mouth to hide a smile of amusement. Ratchet wrapped an arm around Angel, who snuggled into his holograms fire jacket. A grin spread across Ironhides features as he looked at his companion and the human girl, "Getting nice and cozy, eh?"
Ratchet blushed slightly as he brought the human female closer, trying his best to ignore Ironhide. This caused him to snicker softly, thinking it both cute and amusing that Ratchet had fallen into the same situation Starscream had. He remembered the scene before him before they left. Starscream was sitting against a wall with the young girl in his hand, holding her close to his spark. He also remembered hearing them confess their love to each other a few weeks before hand. It had shocked all of the autobots but no one let him know they had heard his lecture on how he would love her forever. Ironhide suddenly stood, "We need to check on Alexis and Starscream!" His action knocked bumblebee over in the seat and surprised everyone else.
Alexis stirred around in her sleep, moaning from the pain she was feeling. She heard a familiar voice whispering her name. She peeked an eye open to see a blurry hologram of a human Starscream holding her in his arms, "Starscream?" He nodded as she was brought closer to his body. He took in the fact that she was still shaking from the pain her wounds had caused and placed her back onto the bed she had been laying on. Her upper body only had a few bandages wrapped around her chest and her left shoulder wrapping around her arm whole left arm down to her wrist. More than enough of her upper body was showing but he was never the type to blush. A tear made it's way down her cheek, "It hurts...what happened?"
He frowned and explained, "You were shot. By who we do not know, but when we do they shall pay for harming you..." He held two words 'my love'. She tried to move and wrap her arms around him but stopped when more pain shot through her body. He moved where she couldn't, leaning down close to her so she could hug him. "Try not to move to much...your wounds might reopen.."
She pulled his hologram closer to her, laying him nearly on top of her as he smiles gently and brushed his lips over her forehead. She pulled him closer to her, tears streaming down her cheeks from the pain as she wrapped her right arm around his neck.
Starscream wiped away her tears with gentle hands before he places a soft kiss to her lips. She attempted to force her left arm over his neck but failed miserably as her fingertips went as far as his shoulder when she gasped at the sudden pain that shot through her whole left side. He pressed her arm back down carefully, his lips wandering down her neck. He wanted her to relax and stop trying to move. The pain along with his kisses made her dizzy, forcing her to lay back down onto the pillow. He only smiled against her skin, gaining the result he had wished for. He continued, finding a soft spot at the base of her neck, softly beginning to suckle it, hearing her moan quietly. His hologram form was actually warm, unlike the others. She found herself unable to move as he continued to cover her neck with light kisses. He paused as he heard a noise... Looking up just in time he saw more holograms coming into the room panting lightly as they had obviously hurried. Mikaela jumped at seeing what they had walked in on, "Uhm...ok guys? I think we should of knocked first. Sorry! Sorry!"
Everyone was either blushing or blinking several times as they weren't sure they were seeing correctly. An overall murmur of 'Sorry' was said as the door was pulled closed by Ironhide, the one who had rushed in in the first place. Starscream looked to the door for a moment glaring a bit, he looked down to Alexis, "I'll be right back.." With that he went to yell at them for barging in like they did. Alexis nodded a little, half drifting between sleep and awake, letting Starscream leave her.
The group looked up to an upset Starscream like 'uh-oh...' expecting to be yelled at. He inhaled and let it out slowly, turning his gaze back to them, "I expect there is a good reason for your barging in like you did..."
Everyone pointed to Ironhide, as it had been he who suddenly jump up and came here. He was also the one who opened the door. Bumblebee grabbed his two humans and left, he had no part in this anyway. Ironhide looked at Bumblebee, leave a flat glare on his features, 'Oh jee, thanks Bee,' was the thought that ran through his head. Angel just hid behind Ratchet, holding her ears. She didn't want to hear it. She didn't even know him that well, anyway. Jason and Michael approached Angel, "So, how are you going to explain to the chief about about that one vehicle you always claim?" He nods his head towards Ratchet. Ratchet was wondering about that as well, but it was more important to attend to Alexis first. Angel walks into the room where Alexis was sleeping. She kneeled down next to her and pulled her blanket over her bandaged chest as Ratchet kneeled down beside her. He murmurs quietly, "At least she is sleeping... She needs to rest plenty so she can heal."
Blue eyes gazed at the young girl sleeping in front of her, memories from long ago playing through her head, "Why was it her that was shot?" She reached a hand out to move a strand of hair out of the girls face, "Why couldn't it be me instead?" She pulls her hand back, "She doesn't deserve this..."
She looks down, falling completely down onto her knees, her palms placed on the cold floor holding herself up.
Ratchet placed a hand to her shoulder, "Sometimes we can not help what happens... this is one of those things."
"She was aiming for me...but I moved, causing the victim to be Alexis."
He crouched beside her wrapping her in his arms, "You listened to your instincts. There is nothing wrong with that"
Mikaela stood behind them, quietly in the doorway. She could only imagine how bad her new friend felt, and Ratchet...she'd never seen him act so...in love...before. She decided to leave the two alone and went back to the main room of the base. Angel looked up at Ratchet, "Should we just let her sleep now?"
"That would be best."
"Emergency, Respond w/Lights & Siren" Angel looked down at her scanner that was attached to her belt, "Fatal-static-MVA-" That's all she needed to hear. She looked up at Ratchet upon hearing the location, "It's not even five minutes away from here..."
He nodded, "Let's go."
Once outside she jumped in the hummer, Jason and Michael coming out of no where and jumping in with her, Michael up front and Jason in the very back, "Get this thing in gear, girl! Let's get goin!"
The three had thrown on their suits and equipment during the short ride there. Angel and Michael jumped out before Ratchet had even stopped completly.
Once in the
light, Michael caught his cousin just in time before she stepped on a
powerline. The MVA had cause powerlines to fall which resulted in a
huge fire in the wooded area the car had wrecked in. A familiar,
haunting smell filled her nostrils. She looked around and saw Adam,
"What happened?"
"A family was trapped inside the
car, we managed to save the three children before it exploded..."
Ratchet's
hologram form seemed to climb from the back of the vehicle as he
looked around. A loud snap was heard, Angel and Adam looked up in
time to see a large, flaming tree snap into, "MOVE! GET OUT OF
THE WAY!!"
When the tree fell it caught one firefighter, when
they ran to see who it was Angel nearly blacked out, "PHILIP!"
The man who raised her was still alive but was being crushed. Ratchet didn't hesitate, he jumped into the flames, helping the others that were moving the tree till they were able to help Philip from beneath it. He dragged the man to a safe distance and panted, "Are you with us?" As others came to help.
Angel ran to Philip and Ratchet. She leaped down to the stretcher they had put him on, "Philip!"
"Angel?" He reached out a bloodied hand and she gently grabbed it after taking off her gloves, "You'll be ok!"
"Angel, look after the others."
"But-"
"You'll make a wonderful chief."
"What?!"
"If I was able to have a daughter, I would hope she'd be just like you. But since my wife died, I just can't bring myself to marry another."
He had raised her after her family had died when she was three years old. He was all she ever remembered, she barely remembered her actual father. Her mother and sister had spent every minute of the day with her but she never saw her father that much because of his job. Everyone in her family was leaving her. He was the only family she had left other than Michael, Jason, and Adam...
"Come on Angelina! No giving up!"
The 15 year old girl giggled as she tried her best to make it through her training, "No way! I'm never giving up!"
"You only thing you have to fear is fear itself."
He reached up to stroke his fingers across her cheek, "I love you."
"I love you too."
He was put in the back of the ambulance which left instantly as soon as the doors closed. She turned around with tears in her eyes only to see a few firefighters looking at her, "What now, chief?"
"..."
"No giving up!"
"If God brought you to it, he can help you through it. He's always at your side, Angel."
"I've never been a leader figure..." She whispered to herself with tears streaming down her ashy cheeks.
"Believe in yourself, Angel. Never say never."
She looked up once again, "J-just...put the fire out before it gets out of control!"
Ratchet watched as she grabbed the firehose and helped the others put the fire out. She seemed to be in a trance the whole time. Jason made his way to Ratchet before they had left once the fire was out, "Take her back to the Autobot base with you, Michael and I will take over until she's mentally stable."
Ratchet nodded and saw Angel walk up to him almost as if she was a zombie. After that, everything seemed to be moving in fast motion around the two.

Zirconia: I typed all of this during a tornado warning/watch...I'm proud of myself. -flops on pillow- I type the scanner stuff as I hear it. Although...at the moment all I'm hearing is stuff about tornados and wind damage. Oh well, review if you wish. I know you have to go through some stuff to be a chief first, but ya know when people are watching something and they go, "THAT CAN'T HAPPEN!! NO WAY!! THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN!" and the person next to them shushes them and says "Relax, it's just a movie."
Just think that way with the fic. The author made it happen, get over it! xD
