Chapter 2
Mikaela got up into Optimus; and she had a big grin on her face. She ran her hand over his steering wheel; and her other hand caressed his leather seat.
"Now, I do believe I am going to take you some place quiet so we can talk, alright?" she asked as Optimus remained silent not sure what to make of this human.
She was the correct human he needed to find to get the glasses from; but this was very shocking that she knew who he was.
:::::::…. Optimus Prime to Ratchet, come in, Ratchet…..::::::::
::::::::….. I am here, Optimus; did you find her….:::::::
Silence….
::::::… Yes, but she appears to know who I am; she is driving me someplace isolated…..::::::
:::::::::… Do you intend to reveal yourself to her…..:::::::
::::::::… Soon yes…::::::::
::::::::….. Alright, we are all spread out over Earth, we will meet where you wish for us to go….:::::
:::::::…. I will give you a location meet me there in 24 Earth hours, alright….::::::
::::::….Alright Prime, be careful….::::::::
:::::::…. Alright, I will; Prime out…..::::::::::
Mikaela reached over and turned the radio on; and started to hum to the song she put on.
"Miss Mikaela Witwicky, how did you know who I was?" Optimus asked.
Mikaela smiled then.
"I just did, it's kind of a long story so am I wrong when I say you were looking for me?" she asked.
Silence…..
"No, you are not wrong, Miss. Witwicky; your ancestor Captain Archibald Witwicky discovered something he shouldn't have." Optimus said.
"My great, great, great grandfather found Megatron and he touched something on Megatron by accident and it zapped him. Then when he was zapped the location of the Allspark was imprinted on his glasses; and you need those glasses before Megatron gets them, right?" Mikaela asked.
Optimus was stunned; he wasn't sure what to say.
"Did I stun you into silence?" Mikaela asked.
Optimus chuckled at her question.
"Perhaps a little bit, Miss. Witwicky," Optimus said.
"Mikaela, you can call me Mikaela or Kaela for short if you want too." She said.
"I am Optimus Prime, as you already know. I am taking you to an isolated area my men are on their way as well." Optimus said. "I know, you had an area picked out; but other humans cannot learn of our presence." Optimus said.
"I know," she said.
Optimus on his way to the isolated area learned more about the human female known as Mikaela Witwicky.
"Can you tell me how you knew who I was now?" he asked.
"Not really, it would confuse you. I am not even sure I understand it; I just was given a chance at something special and I am not letting that chance go." Mikaela said as her hand gripped his leather seat once more; and Mikaela could have sworn she heard him groan slightly.
"Please do not distract me," he said as she smirked.
"Sorry," was all Mikaela said.
Although her sorry sounded very snickerish to Optimus; as he tried to figure Mikaela Witwicky out.
"We are almost at our destination, Mikaela Witwicky," Optimus said as she grinned and waited for him to talk more.
"Okay my turn, can I ask you something?" she asked.
"Affirmative," he responded.
"Are you going to be my guardian?" she asked in a hopeful tone of voice.
"Would you like me to be?" he asked her.
"Yes," she answered. "I would love that," she added as her heart slammed against her chest like a missile slammed into a building.
"Then I shall be your guardian," he replied as Mikaela once more broke out into smiles.
"Thanks Optimus," she said.
"You are welcome, Mikaela," Optimus said as he pulled up to the destination he needed to be in.
Mikaela got out of his cab and watched him transform; she so never got tired of watching him do that. He was so majestic when he stood; there was just something about Optimus Prime that she just loved.
Mikaela sat on the ground and sat Indian style; while Optimus watched her and then sat down near her.
"You miss your home planet, don't you?" she asked.
"Yes and the Allspark is the only way to bring it back to its full glory," Optimus said as Mikaela glanced up at him.
"Something else is bothering you, what's wrong?" Mikaela asked.
Optimus sighed then, and she watched him.
"I do not wish to burden you with my problems," he said softly.
Mikaela narrowed her eyes then; men were the same no matter what species they were.
"I asked so it's not burdening now is it?" she asked.
Optimus peered down at the human female then; and he smiled sadly at her.
"I have become very lonely over the vorns, all I have ever known was fighting and it is slowly taking its toll on me." Optimus said truthfully stunning Mikaela; she never knew any of this before.
Optimus paused briefly with his conversation; but Mikaela didn't interrupt him she allowed him to take his time.
"My men whom you shall meet shortly I must act a certain why around them; I am what is known as a Prime on our planet. Primes are not made they are born; and chosen by Primus himself. "
"Who is Primus?" Mikaela asked.
"Our God," Optimus answered.
"My brother, his designation is Megatron. He is the leader of the Decepticons; he believed he should have been prime and hated me ever since. He was the reason the Allspark had to be launched; but in doing so I doomed my race." Optimus replied.
Silence hung over them now, Mikaela didn't know what to say to him. She could feel his pain though and it broke her heart.
"We used to be so close as sparklings and younglings; but then when our Sire started to give me attention because of my nobility as a future prime…. things just changed badly." Optimus explained.
Mikaela was confused about some of his vocabulary he used; so she questioned him on certain things.
"What are sparklings and younglings; and you said Sire what's that?" Mikaela asked.
"You'll have to forgive me; I fall back on Cybertronian terms and phrases. Sparklings and younglings are another name for what humans call babies and teenagers; and the term or phrase Carrier and Sire is what humans call parents." Optimus stated.
"Oh okay, now I understand." she replied.
Mikaela looked away from Optimus; but then looked back up at him. He had a good heart and was so compassionate. She remembered how he was with Sam; and then she remembered Sam was not even here now. She was the Witwicky Optimus and his Autobots needed not Sam; and the funny thing was she liked that idea very much.
