Here you go another chapter. Still would love to hear what you guys think a good song would be for Amity and Prowl. Still would love a drawing of Amity and/or Prowl. I changed my mind. It can be whatever you want.
Chapter 9
"Where is Optimus?" Ultra Magnus and his team arrived back on earth tree days after Amity woke up. Ratchet called them, and informed them about Prowl's 'Dream'.
"He's at the hospital." Ratchet said. The Guard looked at him oddly.
"It's a human medical facility."
"Why would he be needed there?"
Ratchet told them what happen with Meltdown, and what happened to Amity.
"Is she all right sir?" The twins asked in worry.
"Yep, the kid is stronger then she looks. She woke up a few days ago."
"May we go see her, Ultra Magnus sir?"
"Very well, tell Optimus and Prowl that I need to speak with them."
Ratchet told the twins where the hospital was and flew off.
"That's what the organic gets for playing with fire." Sential said.
Ratchet gave him a dirty look. "If you like your face the way it is, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."
Prowl was reading on the couch, and Sari and 'Bee where watching TV. Amity was sleeping soundly on her bed; the doctor gave her some more painkillers, as well as her medicine to keep her wound from getting infected.
Optimus was about to leave when the Jet twins came in.
"Optimus Prime sir, we came to see Amy. Is she all right still?"
Optimus smiled at the young bots. "Yep, she's sleeping now though."
The Jet twins looked through the window. "Is she going to be able to see?" They asked in a worried tone.
"She will, she will have a scar though."
"Oh, almost forgot." JetFire said. "Ultra Magnus wants to speak to you and Mr. Prowl." JetStorm finished.
Prowl heard the twins and came up to the opened window. "About what?" He asked. The Jet twins shrugged. Prowl went over and padded the end of Amity's bed as a way of saying good bye. "Very well." He said leaving the room.
The twins stayed with Bumblebee and Sari. They were able to fit in the room if they ducked. They sat cross legged at the end of the bed, watching the TV.
Amity opened her eye and saw the twins. "Hello boys." She said, slurring her words.
The boys turned around. "Amy is now awake!"
She laughed a bit. "Look, I'm Zuko." She said pointing to her eyes.
The Jets laughed, but then stopped. "Why you joke?"
"It's just the way I am, you should know that."
"Do you remember anything about the other ship you saw?" Ultra Magnus was asking Prowl about the vision he saw.
"All I remember is that it was orange, and I saw a ship that resembled the bounty hunters, Lockdown"
Ultra Magnus nodded. He was hoping for more. "We have recently learned that there was another breakout attempt. It was the one known as Blitzwing. Luckily we were able to stop him. Somehow a device was smuggled in the prison; we have identified the work by the Decepticon known as Swindle."
Prowl closed his eyes and tried to remember something. He knew he heard something about Swindle, but it didn't matter know.
"What was it supposed to do?" Jazz asked.
"It was a sonic generator, meant to harm all audio respecters besides the one who held it."
Megatron punched the wall of his prison cell; it was so strong it didn't leave a mark. Why is it taking my mindless follows so long to get me out of HEAR! He thought to himself. If I am in here long enough, I'll end up as crazy as Blitzwing. He knew he needed a way out, but how? Nobody ever came into his cell. Only Ultra Magnus once; his energon was delivered from under to door. That's what they're hoping for, that I'll go nuts. When I find out who is ruining all of my escape attempts, I will rip them open.
"How you feeling Ams?" Jazz asked. He picked her up from the hospital about ten minutes ago, and he was on his way back to her place.
"My eye is still sore and the bandage is making it itchy."
"How long do you have to keep it on?"
"I don't know, I have a check up with doctor in a few days."
"Well, keep taking your medicine and maybe you can get it off sooner."
"Those pills knock me out faster than Bumblebee on days Ratchet has to give him a physical." Jazz chuckled. "But I won't forget because Prowl won't let me." She continued laughing a bit.
"He only does it because he cares."
"I know it's weird. I've never had anyone really care about me."
"Whys that?"
"I'd rather not talk about it."
"That's what you say about everything. Come on, you can trust Jazzers." He said, he hated the nickname she gave him, but he hoped it would help.
"Let's just say my dad's line of business was more important to him then his only daughter."
"You ever gonna tell me what his line of business was?"
"Maybe, one day." She said looking out his window.
"I still don't get why we can't throw he a welcome home party!" Bumblebee complained. Him, Bulkhead, Prowl and Sari where all at the plant.
"She's been the hospital for over a week, she's tired, and the drugs she's on makes her even more tired. Besides, this isn't even here home. The docs just don't want her alone." Bulkhead stated. Bumblebee scowled. He knew he was right. The doctors told them her vision would be impaired for next few weeks, and recommend her staying somewhere else for at least one week. Prowl wasn't there when they informed them, but Ratchet was. Everyone was surprised when he told them he invited her to stay with them.
Jazz honked when he entered the base, he transformed and Amity was on his shoulder, holding a duffel bag. Jazz sit her down on the floor.
"How you feeling?" Sari asked.
Amity rolled her eyes, and looked at Prowl. "Now I know how you felt." Prowl chuckled.
"Sorry, but we got my old room set up for you. Come on I'll take you to it." Sari pulled Amity's arm towards her old room. Amity gave Prowl a look that said Help me. Prowl just shrugged and smiled at her.
Amity looked in the mirror, it was almost time for bed, and she had to change her bandages. This would be the first time she saw her left part of her face. She looked at the clean bandages on the sink. She sighed and started to unwrap her face.
When her bandages where off, everything went blurry instantly, she couldn't see a thing. It was very fuzzy. She tried to reach for her new bandages but heard them fall on the floor. Damn it all she thought.
She felt around trying to find them but couldn't. She sighed and leaned back on a wall. Sari and Prowl weren't there to help her, they went to the store. She decided to just sit there and wait.
You got to get used to be able to trust people again Amity. She told herself.
Ratchet realized it was too quiet. He got up from his desk and looked around the base. The others were gone, either with the kids, or on patrol. But he knew Amity was still here. Maybe she went to bed? But Ratchet had a feeling she didn't. He walked around the halls, when he heard a small thump. He looked and saw it came from the bathroom. He walked up to the door and heisted for a moment.
"Amy, you in there?"
"Yea, just give me a minute." He heard a small thud, like someone tripping.
"You need any help?" He heard Amity sigh.
"Yes." She mumbled sadly. Ratchet shook his head. He knew the kid was so used to living on her own. He opened the door and got down. Amity was there leaning against the back wall. He saw her bandages by him and he picked them up.
"Come here kid, listen to my voice."
Amity tripped a little when she walked, but made it Ratchets hand he picked her up and started walking to the med bay.
"Thanks." She mumbled.
"No problem kid."
He sat her down on the berth and got a pair of Autobot size tweezers. He looked at Amity's face. Her left half was red and white, it was a little swollen. But it was her eye that made his spark fall a little bit. He never saw a human with hazel eyes, it interested him. She was a strong girl. When he looked at her workmanship on her cars and bike, and saw the blueprints, he was surprised by this girl. He didn't tell anyone, but he found a note on her desk next to the book he questioned her about. It was a date that was coming up soon.
Ratchet took her bandages and wrapped them around her face, she filched a little. Ratchet was careful, he didn't tell anybody, but he would practice working on small things in his room. He did it in case of something like this happened, or if Sari or Prowl got hurt.
"There you go kid."
Amity blinked her eye to clear her vision. She looked up at Ratchet. "Sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry about kid."
"Sorry for being a burden."
"Kid, you are one of the few people that I've never thought of taken a blowtorch to. You are not a burden. Helping a friend is just a part of life, nothing you should be sorry for." He smiled at her.
"Thanks Ratchet." She mumbled. Ratchet walked out of the room and came back in with her pill bottle.
"Here, you might wanna take this by yourself. I probably will crush the thing." He joked.
Amity dry swallowed her pill and jumped off the berth. She looked back up at Ratchet and gave him another smile. "Thanks again."
"No problem, just don't tell anyone. Don't want to ruin my reputation."
Amity awoke with a shock, she heard thunder. It awoke her from her nightmare. She hated thunder storms. She pulled her knees up to her chin, wrapping her arms around her. She looked over at her alarm clock, it was not even mid-night. She could hear the 'bots talking, but she couldn't hear what they were saying. She sighed and got out of bed. She walked in the opposite direction of the voices and found herself in the Med-bay. She noticed it had a large window; she jumped up and sat at the edge, looking out the window, and flinching every time she saw lighting and heard thunder.
Ratchet saw Amity walk path his room, she didn't notice him. He was getting ready to go to bed, annoyed by the others still up. He noticed she looked a little sad. He waited a bit and then followed her to the Med-bay. He was impressed when he saw how easily she got on the window. He watched her for a moment. She would flinch at lighting and thunder.
"Hey kid."
She jumped a bit. "Oh hey Ratchet, what's up?"
"Trying to get to sleep, but the others won't shut up. You having trouble sleeping?" He said walking over and leaned on the edge of the window.
"Yea, you could say that."
"You have a bad dream or something?"
"Your good at guessing."
Ratchet and Amity were silent for a moment. He knew she wouldn't tell him about her dream. "Hey kid, what are you doing tomorrow." Tomorrow was the date he found on her desk.
"I was planning on going somewhere by myself, but now that this has happened, I don't think the others will let me."
Ratchet thought about it for a minute, then remembered what Bumblebee told him, when they 'kidnapped' Prowl. "How about I kidnap you, you take me to where you need to go, and I'll just wait entail your done and drive you home?"
"That sounds okay."
Ratchet smiled at the girl. She was so different then Sari. Sure they were both headstrong, but Sari never really kept secrets from them. Amity seemed to put everyone else in front of herself, she cared more about everybody else then herself. She proved that when she saved Sari. Ratchet had a feeling that her jokes and comments, was her way of hiding something painful. He saw it plenty of times. He looked back down at Amity and saw she fell asleep.
"Goodnight kid." He said throwing a blanket over her.
What do you think? I always loved Ratchet. He seems to have a soft side but doesn't show it.
