Let's just continue.
No big words, you all know what has happened till now.
"Why in the world do they have to appear right now?!" Agent Fowler was about to inform the military base, but he saw Alley's optics widening.
"This is not only MECH!" She pointed at the screen.
"You are right, this ID is known to our system. But it's old..." Ratchet said. He started a program and a file appeared. It showed a picture of myself, five years ago. When the system recognised the ID number, Ratchet was not sure how to react. "MECH... And Jane?! How is that possible?!"
"It isn't..." Bulkhead muttered, but Miko jumped from her seat. "It is! Her parents, her real parents!"
"But why should they..."
"Ratchet, open the groundbridge." Optimus ordered and as soon as the swirling vortex appeared, two green-dressed and masked soldiers stepped through, holding me between them.
"Jane!" Jack was too fast for anyone to stop him. He stopped in front of the soldiers.
"Could someone explain us, what has happened to our daughter?!" The female voice sounded muffled under the mask. "She appeared like this, in our living-room!"
Jack still stared at me, but the male soldier, my real father, talked directly to him. "I am sorry for what has happened the last time we met, but right now we need your help ... or Janys does."
Jack and the male soldier lifted me and carried me over to the camp bed where I had lain before.
"She ... She is alive!" Jack suddenly cheered.
"What?!" June and Agent Fowler ran over.
"Mom?" Jack asked and looked at June. "Will she...?"
"She is weak, but she won't die. Not again."
"Wait, die again?!" The female soldier asked in shock.
"Jane was attacked and we thought ... She was hit pretty bad and we thought her to be dead. Then she disappeared and this happened!" He pointed to me. "She seriously was dead!"
"I cannot believe we actually allowed her to live this life." The woman said.
"You know what would have happened if we would not have given her away. She is our daughter!" The man answered.
No member of the team was happy to have the two MECH soldiers around, but they agreed to it because they all were my family.
"I can't tell if she needs any help. This is too weird, her readings don't make any sense! Ratchet, she is half cybertronian. What do you think?" June had turned away from me and looked into Ratchet's optics. He let his red scanner light flowing over me and had a quick look at his monitor.
"For a cybertronian, this is absolutely normal, but for her..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Her human part has disappeared. I am not getting any readings of her former appearance."
"She is gone?!" Jack gasped in shock. "But... Then Staria must have..."
"Jack, calm down. This means nothing." Alley said and kneeled down before him. "Maybe you should know, Shockwave always tried to extinguish her human part. Whatever he has shot her with, he may have succeeded, but he did not want her mind to be gone. The power of the stars is strong in her, but all these power makes a cybertronian become a dangerous weapon of mass destruction."
"And how long have you been hiding this from us, sister?"
"All the time, Arcee... Jane didn't want you to know. She still is scared of what has happened on Cybertron."
"So all we can do is wait for her to wake up?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
Sceptical, Miko looked at the two femmes and without saying a word, she moved to the room where I lay. None had noticed that she had moved.
"Jane, you need to come back. Please, we need you. Now more than ever!" She whispered, gently holding my hand.
I heard her, but as much as I wanted to open my eyes, I couldn't. I was not strong enough. But I felt something, a power so great and strong as mine, but it was not mine.
Looking at me in shock, Miko had stepped back. Blue fog came out of nowhere and swirling waves of pure cybertronian energy surrounded my body.
"Guys, over here! Now!"
"Miko, what has happened?" Ratchet has been the fastest.
"I don't know! I did nothing!"
BOOM.
Causing a shockwave of energy, I lost control over my powers. Luckily, the kids were protected, hiding behind Ratchet's foot.
"What was that?!" Agent Fowler and June ran into the room. "By my star spangled shorts, what is going on in here?!"
They stared at the blue foggy wall in front of them.
"Would you ever stop saying this?" I laughed and stepped out of the fog.
"Jane!" I fell into his arms. "Thank the Allspark, you are alive!"
"Let me overthink. Go with your star spangled shorts, dad."
"Dad" I heard two familiar voices gasping and turned to the door.
"You are still here?"
"You are our daughter."
It felt weird to be hugged by MECH soldiers, but for a second, I forgot why I had been mad at them.
"Jane!" Jack stood behind my parents. I looked into his eyes, seeing something more than just a happy boy. "Jack!" I jumped into his arms and before I had moved, he had kissed me.
"Man you really know how to get yourself into serious trouble." Miko laughed at his confused look. "Dude, she has two fathers and you just managed to kiss her in front of both of them! I bet not even your own mother knows that you two are a couple! That's so not gentleman-like!"
"You... You know?!" Jack stuttered.
"Sure she does. Girls talk." I smiled and kissed him back.
"You two better keep that to a minimum." Raf turned away. "At least as long as I am around."
I laughed. "Alright. Promised." But then I saw June's concerned look. Her worries about the two MECH soldiers blew my happiness away.
"It may be time that you get to know my real parents. And maybe I should admit that I am knowing them for quite some time."
"What?!" Everyone said or thought it.
"Guys, meet my parents. My mother Judy..." The woman took her mask off. Her hair was just like mine and at all I was a younger copy of herself, except for her dark brown eyes. "... and my father Ray Simmons." The man showed his face. He wasn't even looking like me in any way, but our eyed had the exact same colour.
"Agent Simmons!" Agent Fowler didn't know what to say or what to do.
"Dad... I mean... William, please don't freak."
"When have you planned to tell me?!"
"Never, honestly. I knew you would be shocked."
"Of course I am! One of our highest-ranked agents is a MECH soldier!"
"Now it sounds like something bad... Don't worry, he's on our side."
"Hard to believe, my darling. Step away from them. Now."
"Aren't you overreacting? William, there are other things to worry about."
I looked up like I was searching for someone who was not there.
"Jane, is everything alright?" Alley foresaw that something was strange.
Without answering, I moved around myself, still seeming to wait for someone to appear.
"Jane, what's wrong?" Miko was a little scared.
"Staria." I whispered and within a second, the purple-blue femme stood where I had been standing.
In shock, the team stepped back but before one of them could have rose a weapon, the cybertronian body glew and I was back myself, then I turned into Staria again and back into myself.
"Jane, what is this?" Ratchet sounded worried.
"Staria... She... She is gone!"
"What?!"
"I can't control it! Shockwave must have killed her when he wanted to shoot me!" Again I turned into my cybertronian form and back.
"Jane, concentrate! You know you can do it!" I heard her voice but she seemed far away.
Concentrate! You heard her! Do it! Stop it!
And suddenly, I passed out.
XXX
"Mom, she is waking up!" The voice was male. Was it Jack? It must have been him.
"Give me some space, honey." It was definitely June. "Jane, can you hear me?"
"June." Why was I so weak. What had happened?
"Easy, Jane. Can you stand up?"
"Yeah, I think..."
She and Jack helped me standing up. I was a bit shaky on my feet.
"Are you sure you are alright?" Jack was holding my arm and I was not sure if I would have been standing without his holding.
"It has been worse."
"That's no answer."
"I know."
"Now how do you feel?"
"All in all, I am alright, but without Staria... I nearly miss her."
"You had felt her this much?!"
"She has always been there. She was talking to me, inside my head. Commenting everything ongoing. And now it feels like I lost something ..." I wanted to finish the sentence, but I fell to the ground, my eyes widened, starring into nowhere, and suddenly, I turned cybertronian again.
A scream reached my ears.
No, no! Not him! Concentrate! You have to stop! Staria is gone, you have nothing to fear! Control it!
I somehow managed to turn back into myself and saw Jack laying in front of me.
"No, Jack!" He was unconscious. "I am so sorry! Please, wake up!"
I felt Agent Fowler and my real father pulling me back. "Keel calm, Jane! You have to control it!"
They were right. I had to control myself. But I knew that I couldn't. I jumped and they lost their grips. And I was glad they did. Only a second later, I was cybertronian again. But I did not turn back.
"Jane, calm down. We know you don't want to hurt anyone." Arcee and Alley stood behind me, cutting my only way out. The other Bots circled me while Myra protected the humans.
I was trapped by my friends, what was the worse thing ever. They had driven me into a corner.
"No, you don't know what you are doing! I don't want to hurt you!"
Blue swirling fog and waves of energy danced around me.
"Jane, stop it!"
"That's not me! I can't use my power in this cybertronian form!" I nearly cried, but Bots can't cry. So I didn't.
I felt the pure energy touching my metal skin, hurting me. I was risking my friends lives.
Don't hurt them. Don't hurt them!
Whatever had caused the explosion, had saved my friends.
When the fog and dust had disappeared, the team gasped in shock.
"Jane!"
I was gone.
Oh well, that's it for today.
So that's why one of the MECH soldiers seemed so familiar to Jane. It was Agent Simmons, who turned out to be her biological father.
With Staria gone, Jane's powers turn uncontrollable and now she is gone herself. Where is the last of the stars? Will team Prime find her and when will Cybertron be restored?

Guest ~ thanks for the (I have to admit good) ideas but I neither will write a story about humanXcon nor will I write about Jack's dad.
