Jack sighed as he entered the base with arcee. It had been a week since aero became Jack's spirit. Suddenly Jack had a bad feeling like someone was planning something. He looked to miko who had sneaked through the ground bridge a few times over the week. Jack always thought miko was going to get into major trouble one day.

So with him keeping a eye on her he got distracted by Raf just as the bots were getting briefed on their mission. He felt aero warn that miko was making her move. Raf after being around jack had noted that he had some kind of sixth sense when ever something bad was going to happen. And judging by his look miko was up to something.

Both boys ran after miko to get her out of the danger zone finding themselves in a cavern or gorge where the bots were facing what looked like a zombie decepticon. Jack quickly grabbed miko with a cross look on his face. Just as Jack pulled her and Raf to the ground bridge another opened up and Jack felt a large shock go right threw him and flare. When he came to it was to the sight of the bots looking for them. Ratchet must have called them about them being missing. But why did he feel so strange and why was miko now in his face?

"Hey jack what happened to your eyes they are suddenly white" asked miko. Jack sat bolt upright and ran to the bots and noted they didn't seem to see him despite the fact he was making some noise in his rush to get to them. He gasped when he saw his reflection in the metal of Bulkhead's metal armor. Miko was right his eyes looked milky white just like a blind man but he could still see. He tried to touch bulkhead but he went right threw him. Like a spirit.

Turning his shocked face to a just as shocked Raf and miko they tried everything to alert the bots they were there but as if they couldn't here them the bots left back to base through the ground bridge. All was silent until jack turned to miko with a furious expression.

"Miko! What have you done" yelled Jack losing his temper for the first time at the Japanese girl. Now miko felt fear at the usually calm teen as he tried to calm down. She knew he had every right to be mad at her as she possibly damaged Jack's eyes with this stunt. Suddenly a loud thump sounded and as one the three turned to see the terrorcon approaching.

Jack turned to miko with a deadpan stare. "Miko remind me that if we ever get out of this situation I am going to kill you in the worst way possible because you really have done it now" said jack with a calm yet furious tone showing his temper got worse. She knew he was not going to speak to her for a long while. With that said the three humans ran off. Jack than remembered that flare and aero was with him but where is flare?

He and the other two panted as they managed to hide from the terrorcon. He felt some heat approach and saw flare run up to them.

"Am I seeing things or is that a red nekomata?" Asked miko.

"I'm seeing it as well" said Raf as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Oh great what now" said jack in annoyance.

"Uh you might want to hurry that thing is still looking" said flare aware that she should keep her connection to jack hidden.

The four quickly felt the ground tremble and ran soon after a chase happened with starscreams severed arm found. "Miko your phone we can still text the bots and get out you left your phone in the base" said Raf face palming.

Jack quickly sent the text explaining the situation and the four again ran and on finding starscreams arm again used it to blow off the terrorcons own arm making it faster but what no one noticed was that jack placed the arm into a card as the four saw a ground bridge open and jumped through. Jack saw by the two's reactions flare was only seen by him again.

"Jack your eyes" gasped arcee.

"Got zapped by both ground bridges might have took the blunt of the shock to prevent Raf and miko from getting the same thing. Oddly I can still see just fine but I may need to get my eyes checked just in case. Arcee can you put up your hologram while I get home. Mom might not believe me if I say I can still see. I hate lying but this is not what I expected" said jack.

Without a word he and arcee left with miko looking guilty.

"I really messed up jack is never going to speak to me for months" said miko as she felt Raf hug her.

"Jack had said this wasn't a game miko. I think his farther has a part in why jack is taking this seriously" said Raf. The bots learned about jack's past from arcee and bulkhead told miko and Raf to try and better their friendship.

Kagehime nodded. "Jack never knew his dad as he died before he was born saving the town from a gang. Just give jack some time alone okay" said Kage.

"Got it" said miko.

"Well by all accounts you are blind its all pointing to the nerves in your eyes are to damaged yet I'm wondering how you can still see" said the doctor.

"I'm not even sure myself" said jack. When he came home with arcee acting as a guide he explained that he still can see but like he thought June didn't believe him.

Arcee had to wait until June was in the house to get the car keys until she could turn off her hologram. Jack had said that arcee had headed home since June could handle getting him to a eye doctor. And so there they were after a eye chart test and a x ray of jacks eyes leaving three confused humans.

"So you can somehow see while your retinal nerves are pretty much damaged beyond repair how did they get so damaged" asked June.

"Miko found a flash grenade and somehow tweaked it to another level and arcee saw the flash. Miko didn't know it would land right at my feet when she tested it. You know the rest arcee brought me home and I'm not on speaking terms with miko for a while" said jack.

'It is scary how I can make convincing cover stories on the fly' thought jack.

"Well jack looks like I'm pulling you from school. Even though you can see I doubt you want the school to know" said June.

"That is the best bet arcee offered to turtor me at club" said jack.

"Science fiction club all jack could tell me it is located in a place where they can test science projects without harming the town. Guess miko wanted to see about how a flash grenade worked and by bad aim accidentally hurt jack. Arcee must be one of the club supervisors" said June to the doctor as a explanation.

"Ah don't worry I remember doing the same in my own SciFi club I once experienced the sensation of having my arm go completely numb from testing the effects of electricity which seems to have happened to jack. This miko somehow turned the flash grenade into a stun grenade fusion that both shocks and blinds. It will take jack about three months to get healed enough to have his eyes work. How he can still see like this is unusual. Try to see if you can see through your eyelids jack I think your sight is from your other senses getting enhanced" said the doctor.

"Whoa so I'm very aware of my surroundings right now great so I'm not going to be able to sleep until my eyes heal" said jack finding the doctor might just be right having closed his eyes and could still see.

"Yep just take it easy" said the doctor.

"Well thank you for the check up" said June.

"Yeah just make sure jack learns meditation that will have to simulate sleep for now" said the doctor.
