It took everything to just keep her face from going red, Alexis was not about to let herself become embarrassed again. It was quiet but that wouldn't last not with the smirk on Galvatrons face. Now she got to thinking, if he was going to try and embarrass her then two could play this game. She kept her expression as straight as she could but it was almost as if the Decepticon overlord could see right through it.
"Now... Where can we begin I wonder?" He stated smiling a usual fanged grin.
"Oh I don't know, I think the question is... who is going to start?" She regretted saying that seeing his smile widen.
"I believe we both know the answer to that."
'Unfortunately we do...' She readied herself on what he was going to ask.
"Now.. I think I'll go back to my first question."
"Oh my god..." She pinched the bridge of her nose, still trying not to blush in front of him. Why did he constantly try to embarrass her with this? Was there really something he was after.
"Oh please you knew this was going to happen." He stated rather bluntly.
"Okay I know. But can we avoid this question until later? I really don't want to answer it.."
"Well that's too bad isn't it? Because I'm afraid you will be answering it one way or another."
"Yeah I know... Wait hey! You started the last conversation! I should be to start this one!" She snapped pointing an accusing finger at him. He merely raised an opticbrow at the human girl, where did she get as brave as she is right now?
"Fine do whatever you want."
"Yes! Okay now let me think.." He acted like rolling his optics, what kind of crazy question did she have in mind? It was really ridiculous what she asked at times, that it was usually pretty hard to understand that her human mind was all that spread out. He watched the girl try to think of something, now there was something about this scene that looked very interesting. After watching her, he felt as if there was something special about her, he just couldn't pinpoint what it was. There was a reason he was still alive and he felt it had something to do with this girl, this one human female fleshling. And what made this even more interesting to him was that she was the same human girl that was with the Autobots and who had softened the spark of one of his most powerful and loyal Decepticon seekers. There was something definitely different about her, yet he couldn't figure her out.
She was thinking hard, what could she ask that he would be able to answer. She was looking downwards at his metal armor, trying to think of something. There was a lot about him that she knew he wasn't telling. She was going to figure out one way or another what she didn't know about him. Alexis may have been a bit terrified of him but then at the same time she was very curious. What made him so terrifying that it scared some of the Autobots when they were on Earth. When her friends were in trouble and that was when they first found Highwire, that was when he appeared. She admitted that back then she was very afraid of him, he was huge and just had that terrifying look to him. The fangs, clawed hands and the red optics, yeah that would scare anyone. Finally she thought of something and looked back up to find that he was staring at her, almost like he was trying to examine her for some answers.
'Okay like that isn't creepy...' She thought. "Hey Galvatron.."
"What?"
"You know that's really rude to stare at people."
"I'm not staring at you, I'm waiting for you to ask your ridiculous question."
She pursed her lips together in a straight line, for someone as scary as he was, he sure wasn't afraid to be rude.
"Okay.. Here it is... Even when the war was started on Cybertron, was there anyone you cared about?"
"No."
"That was blunt. Are you sure there wasn't?" She pressed the question further to see if it got some kind of reaction. His expression told her that he looked really bored, and that was not helping her one bit.
"I'm positive."
"...Really?"
"Yes."
"Can you give more than just a one or two word answer?"
"Why?"
"Because it's getting on my nerves.."
"Good maybe I can get a reaction from you... And are you happy that was more than two words." He smirked, watching her expression fume. He didn't think it was fun to irritate a human girl.
"Okay now you're being a smartass.." She glared at him. He laughed loudly, he had to admit that this was fun. She had to glare at him, what was so funny about him being like this? Did he really enjoy making fun of her? Telling by his laughing she guessed so.
"Now you and I are on the same level."
"I am not."
"Oh really?"
"Yes really! Now can you be honest and not give me a really dull answer to this next question?"
He stopped laughing but he held a wicked fanged grin.
"Depends on what it is."
"Now really I need you to be perfectly honest when I ask this. How old are you and Optimus really? I mean yes I know transformers can live like a thousand years or so but what is your age in human year terms?"
He had to think here, he knew what he was but Optimus? Really what was this girl thinking?
"I don't know.. I think I have to believe that he and I are around the same age, I can't tell you in human year terms seeing as it really isn't important..."
"Is there something you have against Optimus now?" Alexis knew that the two of them were enemies and she was great friends with Optimus. Truth was that she actually saw Optimus as more of a father figure to her. He had a gentle way to keep her and her friends safe from the Decepticons, so she understood that there was a rivalry between the two war bots. But other than that there was nothing she could see to why the two still hated each other, Even though Optimus had tried to gain Galvatrons trust before several times and he didn't budge. Galvatron looked at the girl and there was no expression what so ever, that seemed a little odd to Alexis.
"What do you think?.. We've been adversaries since the war started and ended. And I can tell you Prime doesn't even know I'm alive on this barren wretched world. Frag he thinks I'm still stuck somewhere inside Unicron!"
"Whoa okay... take it easy I didn't mean to touch a nerve there..."
"Excuse me? You're the one who brought it up!"
"Okay! Okay! I brought it up! Don't throw a fit over it!"
"I'm not that immature to do such a childish thing.."
"I didn't say you were immature..." She had her hands in front of her sitting up now. 'But he sure does act it at times... who would have thought that the overlord of all the Decepticons would be kind of immature like this? I sure didn't expect it.. maybe it's a guy thing..'
"Now are you finished asking questions?" He asked very impatiently. She folded her arms and sighed, yet she gave one nod. He relaxed back and she still stayed in one spot.
"Alright then I believe I get my say in this. Again I'm going back to that first question to which you seem so uncomfortable with.."
"I..I'm not uncomfortable with it! I just don't want to talk about it!" She stated quickly, unfortunately unable to try and fight back a incoming blush. He smirked at this, he was going to get her looking quite embarrassed when he was finished.
"To which you are admitting that you're uncomfortable with it. I can see right through your little act." His smirk widened as soon as the little red blush was visible on her human face. "Now... Where to start with this..?"
"Okay... What are you trying to find out?" She asked before he even had the chance to ask the question. Now he looked to her with a confused expression, this embarrassed little girl was now trying to stop him from humiliating her? Now this was getting interesting.
"Excuse me?"
"First do you mind putting me down on the ground again?"
"Why? Do it yourself, you're not helpless I've watched you.."
She sighed and calmly and carefully started getting her way back to the ground, she slid down to his lap and then jumped off his knee to the ground. She felt warm enough at the moment. Now she looked back up to him, either way she was still flustered. She had the feeling she would have to run after she stated this one thing.
"Now.. Listen why are you really so interested about my virginity?" She felt her face getting really hot. He blinked once and really looked confused, the way she asked that question really threw him off guard.
"Why..?" He asked sounding a bit unsure.
"Okay look you really want to know why I'm asking this?" She stated. For once he was beyond confused, what was with this human girl? "Galvatron I swear I think you're a perv when ask that.."
"WHAT!" He bellowed. Now he was flustered, this was something he didn't expect. For one he was lucky to hidden in the darkness of the cave, seeing as he felt a bit embarrassed at what the girl had just called him. She jumped, knowing that she should be ready to run sometime soon.
"Y-You heard me Galvatron..." She stated.
"How dare you think that you weak human girl!" He stated starting to get to his feet. She gulped and started backing up, she was going to make a break for it. Alexis knew he was angry but she didn't expect to see him flustered over the whole ordeal; she couldn't really see the expression clearly of what he was wearing but she could clearly see that he was angry.
"Galvtron really now... think about it.. You don't go asking females that question okay..?" She said still backing up slowly as the tyrant was now on his knees.
"Maybe if you got your head on straight, you wouldn't even be thinking about that! I think we've had enough time to sit around and do nothing.. We're leaving." He growled. This girl was pushing her luck a bit to far, and he was very close to snapping on her. He shot out his hand to grab her, but she squeaked and avoided being caught by mere inches. He growled as she sprinted out of the cave, now he had to chase her down again.
Alexis ran through the wind, it had calmed down a bit but not by much. She struggled to move forward, she knew that she was in some major big trouble. She found it harder to run through the wind when it was coming right at her. Now she felt lost she didn't know where she was and she fell right into the snow bank. She got back up brushing off a lot of the snow and then gasped hearing the sounds of giant footsteps coming in her direction. She sprinted once again, she had to get away and there was no way she planned on getting caught again. The wind wasn't helping one bit, she was constantly fighting against it trying to run. She didn't know where she was going, all she could was run straight. She glanced back and could have sworn that she had seen the Decepticon overlord's outline in the snow. Not even paying attention to where she was going, Alexis tripped over something and fell face first into the cold snow. She groaned and just stayed put for once, she gave up. A shadow descended upon her and she didn't bother looking up already knowing who it was. She heard him chuckle making her glance up at him. He was already kneeled down and he carefully picked her up by the back of her jacket.
"You really are a pain in the aft... And how ironic that you led me all the way to our designation."
"Huh? I... did?" She looked around, trying to figure out what he was talking about. Setting her back on her feet, Alexis looked back up at him with a confused expression on her face. She put her hands on her hips, trying to understand what he meant. Galvatron merely groaned, for a human girl that he knew was smart was acting quite foolish.
"Yes you did child... Now how do you re-open the gate?" He stated standing back up fully. Alexis had to think for a moment, she remembered that the Autobots programmed the warp gate to also open on her commands as well as her friends. After a few seconds it came to her, she dug into her pocket for her small phone.
"What... are you doing?" Galvatron was doing the best he could to keep his temper down. If the girl was going to make a call at this time, it would be far to far-fetched for even him.
"I'm going to activate the warp-gate.."
"With that little device?"
"Yes... This is how I'm going to get it working.. I'm not transformer you know, we had to have a way to open the gate somehow you know." She started tampering with the phone and then finally she managed to figure out how to get the gate to respond to her phone. Galvatron now carefully picked the girl up again by the back of her jacket. After pressing a few of the buttons, Alexis got the warp-gate to respond to her phone.
"Okay! Hang on it's opened!" With that both of them felt the tug of the warp-gate as it opened. Before they knew it, they were both in the safety of the warmer Autobot HQ. Alexis had to let herself settle down, after all it was a very wild ride for her. Galvatron was unaffected and placed the girl down, but as soon as he placed her on her feet she fell straight on her butt. He gave her a look before standing up.
"Don't give me that look.. my legs are not that stable yet..." She said. Her legs were really shaky and she didn't dare try to stand up just yet, that may have been quite ugly to try.
"Humans.." Was Galvatron said as he walked away from her. After awhile she stood up and was a little shaky but it was better than before. She looked towards the door and then started wondering, was she ever going to see her friends again?
"Hey Galvatron.."
"What do you want now?" He asked sounding pretty impatient.
"Are you... ever going to let me go?"
"Huh?"
"I mean... to where my friends are and everything..." Alexis kept her gaze on the door, hoping that he would have the right sense to let her go.
"Hmm.." He did realize that he was going to have to let her go some time. Then again he had enough alone time with the girl to actually consider letting her go, keeping her here would have drove him crazy. "I suppose so.."
"R-Really?" She glanced to the Decepticon leader hoping that he would let her go.
"Yes you can go on one condition.." He met her gaze.
'I knew it.' She thought keeping her gaze locked with the Decepticon overlord.
"You will return here when I call you through that phone.."
"When I'm in school you know that's impossible..."
"I'm not finished." He interrupted. She kept her mouth shut and kept listening to him. "..Again I will let you know through that phone when I need you and you will when you have a lot of time come back here. Is that clear?"
"It's crystal clear." She stated. 'Huh.. I thought that would be worse..'
"You will refer to me as 'sir' do you understand simpleton?"
'Damn, is he serious?' She thought giving him a look of her own, but she agreed on that. He nodded and turned on his heels, heading towards the door. Glancing back around the girl was still standing there. He raised an opticbrow at her.
"What are you still doing here?"
"Huh? Wait you mean that I can..?" Her eyes widened slightly.
"Yes! Now go!" He snapped. She smiled wide and ran out the door, he pinched the bridge of his nose and mumbled something about humans. She ran happily through the Autobot HQ, excited about actually being able to escape to her home. There she would feel a bit more refreshed and she would be able to see her friends again. Alexis couldn't wait to be out there. Finally she reached the outside and the sun rays hit her and she just smiled and laughed. It was beautiful here. She shaded her eyes looking towards the sky, seeing the white clouds passing overhead. She just jumped around happy to be back in the warm weather. She ran towards the hill and started climbing upwards, she started brainstorming things she would need if she was going to probably living at the base. Knowing Galvatron, she would have to be prepared. She reached the top and heard someone call her name, someone she knew quite well.
"Alexis!" She looked over and saw that one of her best friends was jogging over to her, with a wide smile on his face. She smiled back and he gave her a helping hand up the rest of the way. He hugged her, Alexis already knew that her best friend was worried about her after she went missing for the day.
"Oh my god! Alexis! Where have you been! Everyone was really worried you know!" Rad said as he pulled back from the hug. She sighed, she was going to have to tell them sometime and she decided that now was a good time as ever.
"Well... That's a long story..." She said.
"Hey I've got time.. Besides.. the guys and I had permission to skip school today." He said with a smile. She punched him lightly in the shoulder, giving him one of her famous angry looks.
"Rad!"
"I'm kidding! There was no school today for us. Apparently someone forgot to turn off the power and well.. we had a gas leak in the school. It was pretty damn hilarious actually. I swear I never have heard our gym teacher sound so funny before." He laughed heading over to a shaded spot under a tree, sitting down and then patting the ground next to him. She sat down next to Rad. "Anyways, we all heard this strange popping noise and then Mr. Rufus was like 'What the heck was that?' And then the principle said that everyone had to be out of the school because of this gas leak problem. Then Mr. Rufus swore. He said 'Damn janitors!' He said those exact words! We all pretty much laughed."
Alexis giggled at that, she remember Mr. Rufus when she still went to that school. That was before her father and her step-mother forced her to go to the all-girls school.
"Anyways.. We don't have school for a week now."
"Oh lucky!"
"I know! So, you wanted to tell me something?" Rad looked to her. She sighed and told her story. She explained everything, to where she had fell down the hill and ran into Galvatron for the first time ever. Boy Rad was surprised, like her, he thought Galvatron was long gone. She assured him that he was well alive and grouchier than ever. She continued her story about where she had tried to escape him by using the warp gate and yet he still followed her, she left out the part about the conversation concerning the two of them talking. Once she finished, Rad looked shocked.
"Y-You mean... He's in the Autobot's old HQ right now!" He asked.
"Yes.. And I have to return to him when he needs me or whenever I get the chance.."
"Okay but why would he need your help? I thought he hated us." Rad looked confused.
"Yeah so did I!" She stated. "But apparently he needs me for something.. I'm surprised that he survived though... I still don't get it..."
"I find even creepier that this whole time Starscream is still able to contact you... and you still have that pendant?" She nodded and pulled it out on instinct, looking at it. There was so much she didn't understand.
"So... Is there anything else about him we didn't know?"
"You have no idea... And you know I find so weird about Galvatron?" She asked. Rad gave her a look. "I told him we can have a conversation and you know what he brings up? Something about sexual education."
Rad fell over, looking wide eyed at Alexis. Then a wide grin appeared on his face as he hid it while still on the ground.
"You heard me Rad.. He asked me that. And he was trying to dig into my personal life about that! I flat out told him the truth, and hey to get him back I asked the same thing."
Her friend just laughed now, holding his sides. He was laughing hard, he had tears coming out of his eyes. Alexis couldn't help but laugh herself, it was a bit funny to know why the tyrant wanted to know that about her.
"What did he say?"
"He told me the truth and he didn't look embarrassed about it either."
"Oh man, that ruins the whole moment of that. I mean, who's straight-faced about something as embarrassing as that?"
"I have no idea." She shook her head, now she remembered she forgot to tell him about the dream and Starscreams warning. But she figured it probably wasn't a good thing to mention at the moment. But it worried her, what was this bad omen that was supposedly coming? Did it have something to do with her? Or was it something much worse? Was it about her? She didn't really want to think about it but it weighed heavily on her mind, something bad was going to happen and she had the horrible feeling it was going to happen soon.
