Author's Note: On the subject of camping: I have discovered that it is hard to sleep on the ground (stupid rocks).
And for anyone that was waiting for a review reply for a while, sorry, I was in the middle of the woods. No e-mail. I almost diiiieeeddd! ;D Naw, just kiddin'.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the crazy plot and the crazier OCs.
"... Why don't we explain after you put the gun away." Wheeljack said in his most calming voice, hands held up in a sign of his good intention.
"No, I think you're going to be explaining now, right after your friend gets his hands out of Optimus's head." Lennox gave a death glare at Ratchet who slowly backed away from the larger Autobot.
"It's okay, he was just fixing him. He's a medic." Elizabeth said in her most calming voice. Or at least she tried, her voice was a little squeaky with fear.
"What happened?" The soldier stressing his point by pressing the gun harder into Liz's head.
"To Optimus or to all of you?"
"Both." He growled.
"Optimus crashed helm first into a wall. As for all of you... We're still not sure about that." The Autobot Chief Engineer explained. "Yah see, this," He gestured in a circle the entire room. "isn't your universe-or our multi-verse, as I should say. It's an entirely different universe. And we're still not sure how we got here... But we're working on it!"
"Yes, in fact, your arrival has opened a world of possibilities!" Perceptor exclaimed excitedly. Elizabeth got a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. "It has confirmed that your-our universe is a multi-verse, which could complicate things when we try to get back... However we will work through it!"
Wrong thing to say. Despite the gun still being pointed at the back of her head, Elizabeth facepalmed.
"You mean you have no idea how to get back!" The soldier cried out.
Wheeljack also realized the scientist's mistake and winced slightly. Ratchet looked furious and reached for a wrench.
Perceptor continued on oblivious to the rising fury of the medic, and the man holding an armed weapon to the back of his friend's head.
"Ye-" A wrench collided with the scientist's helm. He fell to the floor, suddenly unconscious.
"Good. There are enough things that he's going to freak out over, we don't need Percy adding to that." Ratchet nodded with satisfaction. He turned to Lennox. "Now, are you going to let me work on my patient?" The human engineer gave the medic a pleading look. "And put the gun away?"
"... Sure." The Army Captain holstered the weapon. The aero-space engineer gave an audible sigh of relief. Ratchet continued his work on the Prime's helm. There was an awkward silence between the two engineers and the soldier.
"... So... Think we should introduce ourselves?" Elizabeth asked clapping her hands together. She was still sitting on the edge of the counter, so she flopped over backwards and extended her right hand to Lennox. "Hi! I'm Elizabeth, Elizabeth Arrows, but lately everyone calls me Liz."
Lennox eyed the the outstretched like it had personally offended him and his wife for a moment before taking it in a firm grip. "William Lennox."
"Hi! I'm Wheeljack!" Suddenly the after mentioned Autobot was standing over them. He extended his right hand that was the size of the man.
The soldier just nodded at him, touching the hand slightly with his own. "William Lennox."
"The bot on the floor is Perceptor, and despite the fact that we all call him it, he really does not like being called Percy or Perce." Wheeljack explained.
"We just do it 'cause we're his friends, and he's fun to tease." Elizabeth elaborated. She was still on her back. "Grumpy bot over there is Ratchet." She pointed.
Lennox's eyes widened. "He-he isn't..."
"Oh, shoot." The woman muttered.
"That isn't Ratchet!" The man shouted.
"I was hoping this wasn't going to happen." She bit her lip.
"How can that be Ratchet! Ratchet is yellow!"
With a loud bang the med bay doors flew open (Liz idly wondered if she could teach all the Autobots to enter a room less dramatically) and Optimus and Prowl strode in purposely.
"We heard shouting. Have they woken up?" The Prime asked, glancing at all of the room's occupants.
Lennox's jaw dropped at the voice.
For the second time in a matter of minutes, Elizabeth facepalmed.
XD Loving this chap.
Elizabeth's oddness/craziness started to peak out this chap. That's super important because it's what makes me want to write her more.
Review!
