Point of view: Ratchet
Myself and Miriam had just gotten back when a BOOM! was heard from the direction of Wheeljack's lab. I looked down at Miriam, she was looking around franticly obviously trying to find someplace good to hide I said to her in a reassuring way "that would be Wheeljack and the explosions happen all the time… and I have to fix him almost every time"
"oh, ok then, good to know" she replied. Then I thought of a problem, if Wheeljack was messing with chemicals again it would be too dangerous for Miriam to stay near me. Then came the next problem if I left her by herself as soon as Galloway saw her alone, she would be in prison so fast that Blurr couldn't even say [thedecepticonsareattacking!ohno!ohno!ohno!] I had to leave her with someone but she was still scarred of everybot and human that walked by. I had to pick someone she would feel safe with so that ruled out Ironhide, she also had to be with someone who wouldn't leave her behind as a joke so that ruled out Skids, Mudflap, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker, or someone that would get distracted and accidently leave her behind and that ruled out Jazz. Then there was someone in high rank but Optimus and Prowl were too busy. I thought about all this as we walked down the corridor leading towards the recroom. When we got there I was pleasantly surprised to find two mechs that fit the criteria well, mostly because one could turn invisible and the other could create holograms they would be able to protect her better together then apart. I walked in and stood in front of them so they would listen real close. I commanded
"you two have to keep Miriam safe while I fix Wheeljack." Mirage looked surprised then asked
"why does she have to be kept safe, there's no decepticons about? I don't understand why." Before I spoke Hound answered the question for me "it's because she's a "terrorist" and worth a lot of human currency."
"So far Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Galloway have tried to bring her in for the reward but Ratchet got in their way and now Galloways probably after her."
"Yes and I need both of you to watch her while I repair Wheeljack and clean my medbay so if Wheeljack has anything harmful to humans on him it won't hurt her" with that I finished the conversation with them and turned and let Miriam walk onto my hand I told her that she had to stay with Mirage and Hound and that if she came to my medbay before I came for her there would probably be some sort of toxin that could kill her, she reluctantly agreed and I set her back down on the ground and left hoping everything would go ok.
Point of view: Miriam
I wasn't sure if these two would be ok or not. I decided to give it a try but make sure they didn't do anything that could put me in danger. There was silence for a few minute then the green one said "my name is Hound and this is" whack! The blue one whacked Hound in the head with his hand
"hey I can speak you know." He said it in a fake hurt tone "my name is Mirage. I am glad to finally meet you"
"mm hm" I responded I still didn't like the thought of staying here in the open and I defiantly wasn't going to ask to be put on one of their laps yet.
"Hey your coming with me to a nice cozy cell, but don't worry you won't be there long because you have a death warrant" I turned around and Galloway was right there, he snapped a pair of handcuffs on me and smiled triumphantly. I looked from him to the cuffs then ran and dove into the smallest place I could find. I heard the man yell from behind me and start to run after me then he yelled for a different reason, he was being blocked off by Hound's hand and Mirage was nowhere in sight. Galloway snarled at him then pretended to go one way then changed course towards me. When he was 10 feet away he crashed into thin air almost like there was an invisible wall, Mirage suddenly appeared between me and Galloway then said in the most menacing tone he could muster
"you will not touch that girl again or else Ratchet will get very angry and when Ratchet gets angry... lets just say I would like to be on Cybertron and even there might not be safe. I will tell Ratchet you put hand-cuffs on her and we'll see how much money you would pay to be out of this solar system." Galloway started to walk away in a huff and turned around to say one thing
"you will pay with your lives for helping a terrorist" he then stomped out
"what a sparkling." Hound said
"you know that's an insult to sparklings that have ever been sparked" Mirage answered
"your right but as long as he don't know what sparkling means he can't truly yell at us about it. But right now we better check to make sure she's alright" at that Hound and Mirage came towards me. I did not want to come out and nobody was going to make me come out not until I was sure it was safe. They tried coaxing me out for an half an hour but I still wasn't budging I had gotten the hand-cuffs off in about 10 minutes my fastest time. Mirage finally gave up and called Ratchet
Point of view: Mirage
"I give up!"
I yelled. this human girl was as stubborn as they come. I and Hound tried everything we could think of to make her come out but it was no use I had to comm. Ratchet to get some ideas so I did "Ratchet?"
"What is it Mirage? I'm busy"
"well Galloway scarred Miriam into a small space and she hasn't come out for 30 earth minutes. We can see her but can't reach her plus, we don't want her to lose our trust by making a grab for her"
"did you try chocolate?"
"Yes."
"Then did you try offering her a kitkat bar"
"uh... well, no, we didn't know that you would give her sugar."
"yes I let her have sugar because she hasn't had any in a long time and frankly her body needs it the first night she came the only way I got her to talk to me was to give her candy"
"ok we'll try that and when you come to pick her up we'll tell you why she got scarred into the corner… and one more thing I think Redalert's cameras always watching her every move isn't helping with the situation"
"ok I'll comm. Redalert and tell him to stop watching her. And if when I come for her she is in worst condition physically or mentally I shall make your lives miserable, got it."
"Yes ratchet I got it and I will tell Hound"
"good, now I have to get back to my patients before I run out of patients" Ratchet ended it there and I started explaining to Hound what Ratchet said and that we needed a piece of candy.
Point of view: Ratchet
I had just placed Miriam with Hound and Mirage and I was nervous. But I was approaching my medbay and couldn't worry about her right now. When I entered Wheeljack was awake and only needed an arm and a leg reattached to his chassis. Then I noticed 4 more lying on the floor I didn't recognize any of them but they did have the autobot symbol on them. "Who are they?" I asked
"I think they're from another universe" said Wheeljack
"Wheeljack! I am going to make you reattach your own limbs for this! And when you're done I'm going to ripe them off and reattach them myself! Also I am going to lock you out of your lab for a month and I think Optimus would agree with me!" I was irritated and now I had more work then I could ever imagine. "Wheeljack get to work attaching your limbs on while I tend to these 4" he stared at me like I had gone crazy but he got to work away way. {Now to get to the new bots and make them some medical records} I thought to myself then got to work with the blue one with a big chin. It had been about 35 clicks and I was just about to get to work on the white one when I was commed by Mirage.
"Ratchet?"
"What is it Mirage? I'm busy"
"well Galloway scarred Miriam into a small space and she hasn't come out for 30 earth minutes. We can see her but can't reach her plus, we don't want her to lose our trust by making a grab for her"
"did you try chocolate?"
"Yes."
"Then did you try offering her candy"
"uh... well, no, we didn't know that you would give her sugar."
"yes I let her have sugar because she hasn't had any in a long time and frankly her body needs it the first night she came the only way I got her to talk to me was to give her a candy"
"ok we'll try that and when you come to pick her up we'll tell you why she got scarred into the corner… and one more thing I think Redalert's cameras always watching her every move isn't helping with the situation"
"ok I'll comm. Redalert and tell him to stop watching her. And if when I come for her she is in worst condition physically or mentally I shall make your lives miserable, got it."
"Yes ratchet I got it and I will tell Hound"
"good, now I have to get back to my patients before I run out of patients" with that I ended the comlink and commed Redalert
"Redalert"
"yes Ratchet"
"stop watching Miriam's every move. I've heard that it's making the current situation worst"
"maybe, but one can never be too sure with a"
"a traitor to the country. But Redalert I do not believe she is a terrorist, I think the human government is just looking for someone to put in the hot seat and Miriam is innocent"
"but" Red whined nervously
"no buts if you don't turn the cameras to their original position I will make sure that your next checkup is a painful one! Got it."
"... Yes Ratchet I got it"
"good and if I hear anymore slag about cameras watching Miriam's every move then you will know what it like to be Sideswipe and Sunstreaker!" and with that I ended the conversation. {Now where was I, oh yes I was checking this white one's spark-beat.
Point of view: Hound
{Ratchet allowing sugar. That's new.} I just couldn't wrap my processor around it. Ratchet allowing sugar, I was very confused, before when anyone even said sugar he would go on for hours about how sugar wasn't good for them and all that slag. But now I had to go to a department store in order to buy a kitkat bar for Miriam which was nothing but sugar. Once I got there my holoform got out and walked into the store. While I was in there I was getting the weirdest looks from the humans that walked by, so before I paid for the candy bar I walked over to the clothing section to look for a mirror. I found one and what I saw was not what I chose for a holoform, it was bad, it was the human version of Megatron, Adolf Hitler. I gawked at my reflection for a couple more nanokliks then walked towards the pay counter. I paid telling the clerk that my appearance was a prank by some teens then left. As I pulled out into traffic I thought {this means war, and before I go to base I'll pick up some animal manure} I drove to the nearest farm which was a little out of my way. As I was putting it in myself the farmer was looking at me strangely so I said "two teens pranked me so now I'm going to use this to get them back" he nodded his head in understanding, smiled then said
"I know how you feel" then waved good bye as I drove off. As I entered base all the soldiers I passed took one whiff and started gagging. I had to give the kitkat to Mirage so I went to my quarters to drop this load off. As soon as I entered the recroom Mirage came over and suddenly backed up saying
"whoa don't come any farther you smell like a barn yard"
"yes I do but Sides and Sunny changed my holoform to Adolf Hitler so I'm going to get them back"
"yes well couldn't you do it without the smell… I think my optics are burning"
"well boohoo I happen to like the smell" I retorted
"did you get the chocolate or not?" Mirage asked weakly
"yes I did. Here" I turned on my holoform and walked close enough to him so he could bend down and take the candy. As I was about to turn around I noticed Miriam starting to come out of her hiding spot and I pointed to her so Mirage would look.
Point of view: Miriam
and it was working. I heard them talking and that like me Hound liked the smell I wandered {if he like this smell then I wander what else we have in common} I started to come out of hiding so I could savor the air. As I came out Hound pointed to me and Mirage turned to see what he was pointing at. I stopped then said "you know you could have gotten the barnyard smell instead of going to the store for a candy bar, the smell works just as well." I cocked my head the way a dog does when it hears something new then put a wide smile on my face. Hound's holoform then smiled and Mirage looked disgusted then Hound said
"I guess I'm not the only one that likes this smell" Mirage grumbled then told us
"you're both slagged in the head" then he threatened Hound in their own language. "Now do you want the candy bar or not?" I nodded my head and he put his hand down so I could grab the kitkat. I hesitated for only a second, grabbed the kitkat and wolfed it down. A few minute later Hound came back, and he smelled horrible, he smelled like air freshener, so now it was my turn to start gagging and telling him that he smelled terrible. He then smiled at Mirage and said
"now that's the first human that agrees with me on manure and air freshener, two in a row now to go clean this off before she runs away" he left and returned smelling good. He then said to Mirage
"I'll bet that when Ratchet hears of this he's going to glitch" Hound laughed at the thought, and before Mirage could say anything he asked me
"if you like that smell then I bet you like anything connected to biology?" I nodded my head yes enthusiastically then he asked "would you like to play an animal game?" I said
"yes"
"ok here's the game, and if you set it up while I fix my holoform I can play with you" I started setting up the game and as I did I heard Hound say to Mirage
"that's three" suddenly a person appeared at the game and started helping me set up the pieces. Once we were done he asked
"easy or medium?"
"What happened to hard?" I asked
"um well this game is a little difficult at the beginning so I thought..."
"you thought that it would to hard for me at easy. You insult me. Do hard and we'll see who quits first"
"alright but don't blame me if you can't get the first question" he responded in a sing-song voice with that we started the game.
3 hours later we had stopped moving the pieces and were just using the cards to ask each other questions so far I had matched Hound question by question and neither of us had missed one. Mirage was looking bored out of his mind, at one point he had turned the TV on, we both yelled at him and continued. The game was fun but, I was getting hungry so I had to stop and ask for something to eat, Mirage quickly volunteered and left in a hurry. While we were waiting for him to come back Hound had turned off his holoform and asked me "how do you know so much?" I answered casually
"I read about all this stuff online and in books." He put his hand down so I could climb on, and then sat on an Autobot sized couch. We talked for a little bit then Mirage came in with a plate of food and offered it to me. I ate in quickly then I and Hound where about to go back to our game when two Jets, a blue snow plow, and a white sports car went by at record speeds, and after them came Ratchet and another white sports car came pass and was obviously chasing them. I heard a squeal of tires and the jet sound coming closer and closer. I then heard what I recognized by now to be transforming and the two jets run into the recroom. As ratchet went speeding pass the two jets relaxed then suddenly they were lifted into the air by their necks.
"Hey, you be putting us down" the orange and cream colored one yelled
"to fight like real bot" the blue and gray one finished.
"Oh quit struggling, it's not going to get you free." Mirage said at the same time as he became visible. "Hound, give me some of your rope." Hound obliged with no hesitation, and then tied the two up quickly so Mirage could set them down on the autobot sized couch. I was watching this from my hiding spot; I moved to get a better look. Hound asked
"what are you doing? you're going to get someone hurt by making ground troops chase you around base like that and not to mention the sound... I wouldn't be surprised if a couple N.E.S.T soldiers went deaf because of you two.
"We be answering" the blue one started
"no questions until Sentinel Prime" the orange one continued, then together they said
"tells us to be answering"
"fine then I guess we'll have to wait for Ratchet to come and make you spill the beans." Said Mirage
"What is this spilling the beans?" they both asked together
"it's were Ratchet does stuff to that even Megatron would talk" snickered Hound.
