phew! two chappies in one day! this is for not updating this sooner but i have this massive projet that i have to work on as well. i'll try to update soon.
oh! heads up! i am writing another story along with this one. so if you like the whole family stuff you will most definatelty like this story. it's about a girl who has not only crossed dimensions but finds two sparklings and takes them in to care for them, now she has to hide them from her family and figgure out a way to raise them.
i know! again with the dimensions? but i just think there arn't enough of them out there that arn't about some really tough character who takes shit from no one and saves the day. i try and make my characters more realistic, just like i was taught.
I flew far and I flew fast. I slowed for no reason and only focused on the horizon where I could feel Jazz and Prowl. The fear that had overtaken me when I was spotted still gripped at my spark and urged me onwards. I ignored the warnings about overheating and energon levels that flashed across my vision. I just wanted to be with my Ama and Aita. Wanted to feel the warmth of their sparks. Hear their calming trills and croons and whirs.
I caught sight of something glinting in the sunset light and I shot towards the two forms below me. Just as before, I couldn't stop myself in time. Transforming when I was near to Jazz and Prowl, I was unable to stop before I went careening into Jazz's chest plates. I paid the exhaustion and slight pain no heed as I pushed myself as far as I could into the warm, dented, silver metal. My audios were filled with comforting croons and whirs and my spark drowned in love and safety. I sensed more than felt when Prowl wrapped his arms around both me and Jazz and I leant into both sets of chest plates that I was sandwiched between and greedily relished and calmed with the love they sent to me.
"It's alright lil' Ri, your safe. No one will get ya." Jazz whispered softly to me as I closed my optics and my half visor dimmed.
"you are safe with us sweetspark." Prowl added as my body relaxed and the exhaustion and hunger I had been ignoring came back with a vengeance. The two much larger mechs must have sensed it or something as I was suddenly handed an energon cube. I briefly wondered how much we had but quickly forgot that thought and drank the sweet pink liquid that I was quickly growing to love.
Without a word I finished my energon and down with Jazz and Prowl. I lay between them and tried to hold onto consciousness but it was just too much and I quickly left the waking world and slipped into recharge, as they call it.
The flight back to America was long and boring but we got there and were now driving through a town called Gillette in Wyoming. We were on the outskirts of the town, in a much less populated part. We passed a house every now and then but all and all this part of town was calm and quiet. I was currently in my human alt and inside Prowl as we looked for a suitable place to sleep. There were no forests for us to hide in because we were in Thunder Basin National Grassland and all around there was, you guessed it, grass. Every now and then there was a small group of trees that could maybe hide one cybertronian but definitely not two of Jazz and Prowl's size. We turned into a gas station and restaurant mix parking lot and stopped in parking spots side by side.
I sat inside Prowl for a few minutes, thinking over what to do before deciding that I wanted to go for a fly. I opened the door and simultaneously sent calming feelings towards my Ama and Aita. I walked away without a word and walked towards the sidewalk. Walking for a few minutes, I found a place for me to transform into my RQ-170 Sentinel and took to the sky, twirling and rolling and simply enjoying the wind along my sensitive wings.
It was only when my head suddenly made a loud BLIP that I was ripped from my high. It wasn't really my head that went blip, but instead it was a sensor, and that sensor told me that there was a cybertronian nearby. I made slow circles, trying to lock onto the weak signal. It was not a flyer that I could tell, so it would probably be better if I was on the ground.
With the night as my cover I dove to the ground and swiftly transformed into my human alt and running towards the weak signal. I slowed to a walk as I felt I was getting closer and glanced around. What was a cybertronian doing here? Was it a decepticon or an autobot? Who was it? I turned a corner and stopped dead in my tracks. There, sitting in a driveway of the house five doors away from me with a man and a teenage boy around 16 leaning over the engine, garage lights illuminating their work on a dinged, scratched, dented, fading and all around hunk of junk sunshine yellow Lamborghini miura p400.
That annoying blipping stopped as soon as I saw it but I was frozen in shock. It seemed that every day I would have something going on in my life. Can't I at least get some time off? Obviously not because the disguised cybertronian in front of me was none other than Sunstreaker, the mech I was hopping was alive and was going to search for as my next self assigned mission and reunite him with his twin.
I took a shaky step forward, still not believing my luck, and made my way slowly towards the two working men. From what I could hear with my sensitive audio receptors the older man was a friend of the family and was teaching the younger boy how to fix the car. His parents were home in the house they were in front of and did not like the idea of their son being outside at night working on the car.
A plan formed in my mind and I absently thought that this was just like the Brennen situation. I looked down at myself and frown at the clean clothes that appeared with my human alt. after a bit of concentration I had changed my clothes to look much more ragged. My jeans tore more and looked as if they had dirt on them, my white and black shirt tore also with the same dirty appearance. I no longer looked like I was wearing shoes and my hair became messy in its braid. My visor sun glasses stayed the same though.
I walked slowly towards the working pair and took on a lost look, my alt form adjusting to look as if I was starving.
"ex-excuse me, but do-do you, maybe, have something I could eat?" I murmured softly but I knew they had heard me as they both snapped their heads to look at me with wide eyes.
The younger of the two was the first to act. He said nothing as he jumped forward and grabbed my arm and started to pull me towards the house. I put a bewildered look on my face as I was suddenly standing in front of two new people, a blond man that looked like the boy and a black haired woman who I'm guessing was his wife.
I stood there and stared at them as the boy started to explain that I must be homeless and that I was starving and he wanted to help me. I was astonished that there were people out there that would help someone without a second thought.
"What's your name dear?" the short woman asked as she stepped in front of me.
"M-Marie ma-ma'am." I replied softly and the woman smiled as I was suddenly being pulled by her.
"Well Marie how's about we's get you some food ey?" the woman said and I was pushed into a chair.
"So why are you out here by yourself?" I turned and looked at the teen that spoke and I smiled softly. I don't have to lie with this question.
"I ran away." I replied simply.
"And why did you go and do a thing like that dear?" the woman said as she came back with a plate of food. "And no sunnies and the table." And with that said my glasses were snatched from my face. I was suddenly overcome with panic and my now glowing blue eyes. I scrabbled for the lost glasses and let out distressed squeak.
"Hey, hey, calm down. You can have them back later." The teen said but my eyes were locked with the woman in front of me, who was looking into my eyes, frozen in shock. The boy got up and walked around to his mum, asking her what was wrong, he glanced at me and he too froze.
"Please, please, give me them back! I need them!" I can't believe I brought myself to begging but it got me my glasses back and I swiftly put them on.
"wha-why-how are your eyes glowing!" the woman asked rather loudly but I didn't answer. Instead I looked down at the food, sensors telling me it was safe to eat it and my body would put through a bunch of processors that would get rid of it, so I ate quickly. I could taste nothing and that made me very sad but I could feel their eyes, watching.
They eventually stopped watching and gave me a room to sleep in. I spent the time waiting for everyone to go to sleep sending calming thoughts, yes thoughts, and what I was doing through the bond to Jazz and Prowl.
The house was dark and silent, you could hear a pin drop on the other side of the house but you couldn't hear me as I crept down the stairs and to the front door, opening it silently as I flicked on the lights, not really caring if it was weird to have lights on a 1 am. I walked up to the totalled yellow car.
He was awake and he was watching me. My sensors were very strong, very useful for scouting. I stopped in front of the car and knelt down. Reaching out slowly, as if he was a frightened animal, I placed my hand on the nose of the car. He didn't move, but at the touch I knew instantly what was wrong.
Scanners down, navigation down, transformation cog severely damaged, cracked spark casing, torn wires and dangerously low energon levels. All of this I could tell from a simple touch and I knew that that same touch would not heal him like it did Prowl. I smiled sadly at Sunstreaker.
"You're very strong you know? Having survived all this time with all that damage, having humans dig around your insides, you must hate that huh? Not to mention you don't even know where your brother is." as soon as I mentioned his brother his engine came to life, choked a bit, revved angrily, before becoming silent much too quickly. Then I heard a harsh, pained and raspy voice.
"What do you know human." I frowned slightly at the obvious mocking of humans but sighed instead at the vain mech. I transformed easily into my robot mode, adjusting quickly for the change in height. I heard the engine try to start again but I quickly died once more.
"It's alright, I'm not about to attack you or anything, I don't even have any weapons. And don't worry, it must be terrible having your sensors down." I soothed as I gently ran a claw like hand over his hood. I know I shouldn't push my luck by doing this but I felt that if I wanted him to calm down I needed to. To my astonishment it actually worked and I could practically feel him calm down.
"what side are you on?" simple enough question, I guess.
"Neither, but if I was to choose, which I know I will have to soon, it would be the autobots. No chance in hell am I going to side with murdering douche bags." I growled slightly at the thought of deceptions' but I knew that he was still wary.
"If you let me fix you up enough so you can move I'll give you proof." I said and hoped that he would agree, no way would I be able to fix him completely here. I may have gotten my knowledge from the All-spark but I was new at this and he would need rest in his bipedal form.
After a few minutes of hesitation he agreed and I instantly got to work. I ordered him to open his hood as I transformed my hands into medical tools. I was as gentle as possible, drawing on the new knowledge at every turn so I could give Sunstreaker back his ability to move.
It took a whole hour for me to fix Sunstreaker up enough so he could drive. I stood back and transformed down into my human alt.
"Follow me." With that I walked out the driveway of a family that would forever think I stole their son's new car. I jogged my way back to where Jazz and Prowl were, and then I ran past the place and to one of the small grouping of trees a little ways away from the road, with Jazz and Prowl now following behind Sunstreaker.
With the trees no surrounding us I turned back to Sunstreaker, Jazz and Prowl both coming to stop beside me. They both transformed as I did and I once more crouched in front of Sunstreaker, ignoring Prowl and Jazz for the moment.
"I said I would prove to you that I wasn't going to hurt you or your brother, and as you can see, I highly doubt Jazz and Prowl would let me get within 50 feet of him if I had the intention of attacking him." I said and I smiled brightly when I head a 'damn strait I would' come from Jazz.
"Now will you let me fix you up Sunstreaker? Because when I'm done I can happily send you to your brother and the other autobots without feeling as if you would go and get yourself more hurt." The only response I got was the hood pooping open so I could get access to his transformation cog, the next thing I was going to fix.
"so ya found 'im 'ey lil' Ri?" Jazz asked as he came to stand beside Sunstreaker's alt form.
"of course I did. You didn't expect me to leave him there do you? You and I both know the bond he has with his twin brother, that's why they call it a twin bond." I knew Sunstreaker was listening but I couldn't really bring myself to care and so I zoned out of the conversations that Prowl, Jazz and Sunstreaker were now having as I focused on my work.
It will take some time, longer than an experienced medic, but I wasn't an experienced. I was simply going off the knowledge I was given by the All-spark and I would use that knowledge as much and as well as I could. After all I hate it when others are in pain, so I guess it's a good thing I want to be a medic.
Hopefully in a few days I will be finished with repairs and I can leave Sunstreaker to rest for a while before I give him the directions. I just hope that everything goes smoothly.
With my luck, it probably wont.
