Gasping deeply James rolled off of Arcee as he caught himself. He was exhausted, But you didn't have a physical form anymore. Strange and weird we are long over used by him as he looked longingly up at the metal ceiling. He could feel The heart in his chest pounding as he came down from pure bliss. It was also fast but it was all of the best experiences he had in recent memory. Arcee didn't breathe at all, she just laid their with a blissful expression. Chuckling for a bit James continued to look at the ceiling above as he smiled.

"That was incredible, I don't know how but I'm not gonna ask" He said as he didn't want the moment ruined. Arcee patted his shoulder complementary and smiled warmly as her bliss began fading.

"Good job. 2 whole hours...that's impressive for a human" She commented as she eyes the nearby clock which read 12am. 7 more hours. She read as James smiled even more.

"Well I'm not constrained by my limits anymore" He added as she nodded in agreement.

No longer truly human in that regard he was unshackled by its limitations. He could also read her like a open book and she could do the same onto him. It was more symbiotic as the two coexisted knowing each-others pain and struggles from years of living in the universe.

"Don't go blaming yourself. My murderer is dead, it's best just to put it behind us now" James said as he felt her internal guilt.

Looking at him he saw the passive expression on his face, it was like he had control over his impulses. It reminded her of when Jack was getting into a heated situation with Vince only for James to disarm it like a negotiator. He looked at her now peeking deeper into what troubled her. Death of 2 partner's close friends that struck deep, She feared loosing Jack and luckily I took the brunt of it all. He mused to himself as she heard the whole thing.

"We got you crippled and you're ok with it?!" She said clearly still upset with herself that he wasn't in the slightest angry or resentful.

"I'm surprised you haven't pried it out yet" He said with a flat expression. "I had a failing heart, I couldn't afford the surgery and kinda just went with it. Aside from the mutilation which could've been fixed to an extent I was gonna die either by that or my heart" He finished pointing at his chest.

Arcee shook her head and suddenly he quickly grabbed her by the wrist. He looked deep into her optics as he let her look deep into his soul. She saw pain and forgiveness in him, a soul who had an understanding of his mortality and his bounds. Pulling her closer he ran his fingers down her arm and to her spark chamber. Placing a hand on her chest he looked longingly at her. Lost in her beautiful blue and pink optics he smiled as he felt blissful. Arcee's optics were locked on his eyes as she saw him smile. What kinda drugs was this kid on?. She thought as she wondered if he was taking notes from Prime which was impossible given how long he knew Optimus.

"I was gonna die either way Arcee, I wish I was joking but I would never joke about such a thing" He added sending the point right home.

Arcee nodded reluctantly as she broke eye contact. She believed him in his statement. No many would joke about such a thing, death was a too serious matter for many to joke about. He pulled his hand away and hoped off the bed with a grace he hadn't had in years. She watched him as his pale naked flesh glinted in the low light. He was better in bed than she expected, it was like a dream. It was very real for the both of them. It started in the shower and then made its way to the bed, he had knocked her up unlike anybody before. The various positions and even heated moments of pure unfiltered passion were the greatest she'd ever experience in her life. She quickly grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back onto the bed. She moved to his front and forced him down, kissing to her was child's play and she had other things in mind to kill time.

Ratchet went over the scans taken of James mind, it was odd. He had a 0.01 percent higher use of his brain which wasn't common amount humans at all. He from the records was intelligent and had a deep understanding of issues that plagued him to his very core. Ratchet also found one record of drug use, an experimental kind that set him straight as a fiddle and he admitted to only smoking weed on his birthdays and that only. Ratchet also saw he had taken a lie detector test whist saying that and came positive in the truth. James seemed to be blunt and truthful but would lie if he had no other choice in the matter. He lied to Jack for months about his heart condition and didn't want a fuss about it. It was odd but the financial troubles left James practically dead and accepted it even to his mother's dismay who now thought he was dead by the heart failure as requested. It was a death he was scared with, but it was a surprised he wished for it to be that instead of something more heroic which he in a way deserved for the pain he endured. Noble or stubborn he was persistent in keeping control of his emotions. Now he resides in Arcee's head. He mused as he remembered her volunteering first chance and he rubbed the bridge of his helm. It was a thing that had been done accidentally with Bumblebee which almost led to direct disaster and resulted in Megatron's return to consciousness. Luckily James was far from malicious and had a good head like Jack. Wonder how he would have handled in Fowler's position a few months back. He mused as he kept working.

Opening her optics the two saw the same concrete wall which laid in their view. James yawned in her mind as she rose to a sitting position. Rubbing her optics she yawned and glanced to the clock. 7 am and the world is still under our feet. James voice rang in her head and she nodded. A bit odd of a saying but given One good astroid could take out the whole planet or even a super weapon like a "Death Star" it made a person thank for not being dead yet.

"How ya feeling up there?" She asked aloud as she pulled herself to her peds.

He chuckled and she felt a kiss like sensation on his lips. Fantastic, it was all fantastic. He responded as he made it clear he enjoyed his time with her. She blushed blue as she remembered their mixed pleasure filled moans of lust. She smiled sheepishly as she walked to the door and stepped out. Ratchet was waiting to do a scan and to mainly check up on her occupant. She sat on the medical bed as she let Ratchet commit his scan. James didn't react as he waited for questions from the old doctor. Ratchet looking pleased with what he saw and slid the scanner aside. Optimus stepped into the room and began watching, clear fascination in his optics as he was seeing the closest thing to a symbiosis. Ratchet looked dumbfounded, he didn't know how to go about such a thing yet since he'd never done it before.

"How do I do this?" Ratchet asked himself aloud as he placed both hands on his hips.

"I could do it like this, just a simple swap of the controls" Arcee's voice said with the grounded reality of James tone.

Ratchet was taken aback as he looked into Arcee's optics to see a dull pain within. James now in control as Arcee experienced what he had when she was in control. It was cold and dark, she could only see out of her own eyes as James glanced to Optimus. So this is how he experience is it. She mused as it was a tad interesting on how he lived.

"Morning" James said as he put on a smile even thought it was a struggle.

Optimus gave a silent nod as he looked at the human who was given control. This is gonna take some getting used too. Optimus mused as he and Ratchet began.
