"Chatting and Spells"
"Flashback conversations and nonverbal spells"
Autobots talking
Lennox couldn't believe his ears, Harry had taken to passing him the Directors board emails and one of them were instructions to 'Contain or Detain' Galloway's actions. The man had bungled several missions that had involved a pair of Decepticon Twins known as 'Nutz' 'Boltz' they couldn't pronounce 's's' properly due to Skids getting a lucky shot to the speech control of the hard drive embedded in the Autobot's head.
Flashback
It was a simple 'Smash and Crash' but Galloway had turned the mission into one of the targets strength. The result was NEST lost ten men when it could have been two or three. What made it worse was the fact that Donnelly was one of the men who died and one that Harry and Will had served with back when things were much simpler and the American/British military were some of the best equipped forces in the world.
Harry knocked on Donnelly's fiance's door, he had written the letter personally. It was a new unspoken rule within NEST, if a man died in duty the letter was written by the comrade's sergeant or closest friend who then personally notified the deceased family.
Charlotte Donnelly opened the door, Charlotte was Patrick's twin "Harry! Where's..." Her face paled and tears began to well in her eyes as she opened the door to her brother's home and he stepped inside.
Jason; Donelly's toddler son crawled upto Harry inquisitively and Harry scooped him up "Charlotte is Miranda home?"
Miranda just then entered through the backdoor arms laden down with dry washing when she saw the military uniform of her fiancee's commanding officer in her living room "Can I help you?"
Harry pulled off his hat "Ma'am, I have some bad news that needed to be conveyed personally..."
Miranda's hands trembled and the washing fell to the floor, Harry flicked his hand and the washing levitated itself onto the kitchen table, Harry made his way into the kitchen, Miranda soon was holding a cup of tea laced with brandy "What is this news?"
"Your fiance tragically died in the line of duty." Harry said bowing his head deeply.
"How did he die? Why did he have to die?" Asked Miranda getting Harry to gulp.
"You knowing this could get me into serious trouble but fuck it. He was part of a top secret task force made up of British, American, French and German finest warriors against an alien threat. He died fighting trying to take the enemy down however he died because the Director re-wrote the entire rules of engagement." With that Harry left feeling positively sick.
Galloway had heard and tried to exercise his command over the twenty seven year old, who hit the man in the jaw.
End Flashback
"I, Major William Lennox second the Captain's claim." Called Lennox getting a friendly scowl from Harry, it appeared he had wanted to back his fiancee but the aftermath of him actively using the cube left him panting, drained, soaked with sweat and unable to move for a while without assistance.
"You okay sir? Give me your arm." Mark shouted making his way over and pulled his commanding officer to his feet.
"Tired and drained don't worry about it. Just so you know you've just become my walking and talking crutch."
Mark looked blankly at his commanding officer "Sir?"
"You're familiar with the first paragraph of the binding documents when you enlisted in this division..."
"The Power Cube, you really need to change the name of it sir. Sounds like something from the show Power Rangers that my boy loves watching...But I digress sir. I understand the external power source that you absorped to deny the enemy."
Harry nodded "You're familiar with the character Ben Parker's last words?"
"Great power comes great responsibility or as my daughters favorite fictional character says 'Great power comes with the need for a nap'." Mark replied getting a grin from the young commander.
"Exactly using this power drains me a lot. So I use it sparingly." Harry explained to his British second in command who nodded.
"I'll keep it quiet sir...We moving out? Since the shard is gone what's the plan?"
Harry groaned tiredly "I need to pay my beneficiary a visit and give him a briefing."
(College)
A member of staff knocked on Ben's dorm room "Mr. Brown, your benefactor is here to see you. Something about inspections of records." Ben nodded and left the room giving a vague response to Spitz about his deal.
Ben's eyes widened when he saw Harry sitting their. Despite the man being in scuffed boots, ragged worn jeans and shirt looking nothing like the man he first me, he still cut an imposing figure.
"Don't worry I've seen your results and so far pretty good, lowest mark a 92%. However I've told you on the phone you're going to need to protect Sam Witwicky correct. I need you take this it's for yours and Sam's protection. Reinforcements are coming units Skids, Mudflap and possibly Bumblebee will be arriving to back you up. I'd send operatives but we have more pressing matters on hand."
Ben nodded and took the Sig Sauer and stashed it into his jacket pocket and headed back to his dorm room where his assignment was waiting. He needed to film and write a simple mirror programme that could be downloaded onto a computer. A blue print and plan was also required, Ben simply copied his already existing programme and copied down a small section of the coding and programming and repeated the process a few times under the calm and steady hand of Spitz.
(Astronomy/Astrology Classroom or Sam's class)
The professor bit into an apple and swung his pocket watch and he began "Space, Time, Gravity, We're going on a journey together, you and I, today. All you eager, nubile, young minds on the cusp of adulthood..." Colan began to speak and a sharp ringing in Sam's ears began.
"...I shall be your consort, your guide, your chaperone into the Heart of Darkness..." The ringing increased and Sam's arm rose up as if controlled by a magnetic force and no longer under his own control.
The class giggled distortedly, Colan chuckled "Welcome to Astronomy 101." Sam's hand began to flick over the book, suddenly Colan's voice came in loud and clear.
"What do we know about the stars? Virgo: The Virgin." This was said with a wink to one of the ladies in the front row "Orion, the great hunter. These are no mere sparkly diamonds or maidens fair..." Wierd symbols began to spring up on the pages of Sam's textbook.
"to wish upon! NO! They are made up of raw, primal, untamed energy." People were now beginning to peer curiously behind; around and over their desks to look at the now transfixed, spaced and frantically flicking Sam who had long ago stopped paying attention.
"Let's loot at Albert Einstein's work, He was a Professor once, like moi..."
Sam's book slammed shut "Energy, mass and temperature..." Sam's hand shot up not to similar to Hermione in her first potion's class if Harry had been observing.
Spitz lost his grip as Sam stood up as if he was possessed "Young man there are no questions until I have reached the climax of my lecture."
Suddenly unable to control himself Sam blurted something that would suddenly earn him the professors ire "Einstein's wrong!" Sam deteriorated rapidly into what appeared to be nonsense to the class about seventeen other dimensions and into equations that quantum physisists and mechanical experts would have trouble understanding. Suddenly the words started to stop flowing out of his mouth and it ended up looking like he was having a severe panic attack.
As this was going on 'Alice' or Pretender and detected a faint pulse of energon and decided to investigate and Spitz pulled out his camera and began snapping endless pictures at the glyphs Sam had drawn on the blackboard.
"Young man I will not be punk'd. Not in my classroom and especially in front of the dean. I am the alpha and the omega in this classroom now get out and anyone else who thinks they may suffer from a panic attack."
Leo grabbed Sam's books and followed. Sam raced back to his dorm room where he was lodging with Ben and Spitz and it was only Ben who knew that Harry had organised it so that he could keep an eye on Sam.
Just then Sam burst into the room as his eyes glazed over and suddenly began scribbling all over the walls "Sam what are you doing?" Asked Ben as he pulled out the camera and began recording everything Sam did. He needed to get this information back to Harry ASAP, the autobot reinforcements hadn't arrived yet and he had a bad feeling in his bones about what was to come.
There was a knock on the door and Spitz entered with Alice. "Boys could you leave us alone?" Asked Alice with a sickly sweet voice "You'll know when to use it." Harry had told him so Ben kept his hand away from the back of his jeans where his Sig Sauer was kept hidden.
"NOW!" Screamed Alice and her eyes flickered red and her tongue lashed out which had barely half the size of a normal human tongue attached to a metal whip.
Ben pulled out the handgun only to find himself thrown bodily out of the room, hand gun flying from his hand along with the video camera. Too make matters worse, Mikeala arrived with a tool box in hand, she plucked the camera and hand gun out of the way "Who are you two?"
"I think I'm in love." Declared Spitz only to be hit by Ben harshly.
"That's Leo Spitz, I'm Ben Brown, Sam Witwicky's room mates now give me back the fire arm." Commanded Ben only to find it being placed to his temple.
"Who are you?" Growled Mikaela cocking the gun, Ben smirked the safety was still on thankfully.
"Ben Brown, N.E.S.T., charged with watching, recording and now protecting Samuel Archibald Witwicky from the decepticon forces." Announced Ben calmly pulling out his wallet.
Suddenly a scream of terror came from Sam's room and Mikaela effortlessly booted the door down. It appeared Sam was enjoying the blonde girl's ministrations "Sam you are so dumped." Screamed Mikaela furiously.
"Okay boy time to go." Ben called pulling Sam away from the girl praying she wouldn't transform...but she did. Ben pulled Sam away firing the handgun at point blank range. The bullets slammed into Alice sending her out the window.
"You...You...You JUSTSHOTHER!OHMYGODYOUJUSTSHOTHER!" Screamed Spitz only for Sam to hit him around the face.
"Mikaela! She was trying to suck my brains out!"
"Okay you three let's go. She's gonna be back and I want plenty of distance between the four of us." Snapped Ben pulling out his phone.
"Come on! Come on! Here." He murmured to himself as he pressed the green button.
"Lennox speaking." Called Lennox from the phone end.
"Sir, it's Ben. Ben Brown sir, I'm on the run with Witwicky, some dark haired girl and my room mate. Where is back up! SHIT IT'S COMING." Ben screamed down the phone line.
(N.E.S.T. Base)
Lennox quickly deciphered their asset's garbled tones of fear and statements "The girl is Mikaela Banes, Witwicky's girlfriend who also knows about our allies...Bring your room mate along with you. What does this decepticon look like? Your backup? I didn't know you were assigned backup, because of that I'm giving you and your colleagues free liscence to do what ever is needed to get yourselves out of danger and to Diego Garcia." With that he hung up.
(College)
Ben hung up and looked behind and got a good view of what was once Alice. In her place was a seven foot tall flimsy looking decepticon, Ben quickly dialed Lennox back and informed him of what she looked like.
"Who was that to?"
"My other benefactor. Anyways Spitz you're coming with us, you do as I say, when I say and you don't ask questions. Same for the pair of you. Good news we have a liscence to do what we need to do to get away. As for backup...outstanding news, we ain't got any. So let's get the fuck out of here."
