Chapter 23.
Crossfire.
(Jack POV)
I was up then I got a signal from Airachnid. What does she want?
So I got the coordinates. Then I headed to that location with the Mark 6 and find her there.
"So what did you call me here for?" I said.
"Well, you coding finally finished the job. Keep undercover there for about till now. Megatron just tried to kill me with Dreadwing and Breakdown," Airachnid said.
"So why call me?" I said.
"Oh, Got me out of that programming not my body can't get rid of these things they put on. But My scans see that you got some rash on you," Airachnid said.
"How do you know about that?" I said.
"My scanners can easily get passed your suit, Show me," Airachnid said.
"Cortana, Do it," I said.
Then got out of the suit and pulled up my sleeve where Airachnid came down to my level. Somehow she had a human form filter on it.
"Strangle, I have never seen this on a person before," Airachnid said. "Where did you get this,"
"Vector Sigma, Went we got Optimus memories back," I said. "Been like that but it's gotten bigger since then,"
"Well, I can say this, I just scanned your arm, It looks like to is being changed," Airachnid said.
"Changed in what way," I said. "Are you still going by Airachnid,"
"No, Aira, Works better," Aira said. "But to your first question, Underneath your skin, it been changed into metal almost,"
"But it's been getting worse, It's almost like it's spreading," I said.
"It is," Aira said. "Eventually it will cover you entirely, But I don't know what it's doing yet,"
"You said you've seen this but not on a person, Did it making Dreams, Memories almost," I said.
"No," Aira said.
"Can it make old memories come back," I said.
"Yes, It's happened before," Aira said.
"What happened to them," I said.
"Nothing new. They were Cybertronians, It didn't changed them that much, Just a bit stronger," Aira said. Then She tried to break my skin.
"OI, Easy," I said.
"It's defiantly changing you, I felt metal underneath. Bad news I couldn't tell what the metal is yet," Aira said.
"Great, What about these memories I've been getting, It's like they are familiar but also but strange. Like I was actually there, but I don't remember it," I said.
"Have you seen any places names in them," Aira said.
"One actually, Some place called Torchwood," I said.
"Have you tired to search it up," Aira said.
"No," I said.
"Try that," Aira said.
"What about you, Now that you are free from the programming, Maybe you can join us," I said.
"Bad idea, I killed. I don't know how many of Arcee partners but I can still see myself doing it. I need to check somethings out first," Aira said.
"Fine, Just contact me on that channel again when you want to talk or about joining up," I said. Then I got back into my armour after I pulled my sleeve back down. Then Headed home. Where I ran into Arcee. In her human form.
"Where were you," Arcee said.
"I had a meeting," I said.
"With who," Arcee said.
"Her," I said.
"What. You to see Airachnid alone," Arcee said.
"She goes by Aira now, But yes and I was right, She was programmed by the Cons, But She could see everything that it made her do," I said.
"Wait, So Airachnid was programmed but she could still see what she was doing," Arcee said.
"Yes," I said.
"By the All Spark, But She killed so many of my partner, almost killed you. This is going to take time," Arcee said.
"Aira knows that too," I said.
"Listen, I need to head to the base," Arcee said.
"Go, I'll take the Bridge, I just need to do a few things," I said.
"No, I'll be back in what 2 hours," Arcee said.
"Yeah, that's great," I said. Then Arcee changed back into her Vehicle form and Activated her Human hologram and drove out.
"Cortana, Search anything to do with something called Torchwood," I said.
"I have something," Cortana said.
"What is it?" I said.
"According to this Torchwood has been known to handle extra-terrestrials threats. Even like the one in Canary Wharf. With somethings called Daleks and Cybermen," Cortana said.
Then I saw Daleks are the Tin can and the Cybermen as metal people almost.
"There was reports of a Girl there and her Mother name of Rose Tyler and Jackie Tyler on the listed of the Dead," Cortana said.
Then I saw a blonde girl which was extremely familiar as was the other woman.
"Then Torchwood came back in Cardiff. Till one day the building in the bay exploded which was confirmed as Torchwood Base of operations, 3 People escaped from the blast, One was taken in for questioning and. Then 1 of them Dead in Thames House. Ianto Jones," Cortana said.
Then I saw this one guy in a suit dead on the floor cold. and 2 other people.
"The Leader Captain Jack Harkness, and one other went to a SAS base to stop whatever it was that killed their operate. And sent the other one back to Cardiff. One more death was reported. By Captain Jack Harkness. I young man age of 16 at least. Dead to fight of the Species known as the 456. From taking Earth Children. Then He disappears after that. No signs of that person since," Cortana said.
"What was he name?" I said.
"Harry Tyler, Son of the Rose Tyler that died at Canary Wharf," Cortana said.
Then I had some many images in my mind like it had just be thrown into something. Then They stopped.
"Jack, Jack, you there," Cortana said.
"Yeah, Yeah, Am here," I said.
"What happened?" Arcee said as she was in the Garage again in her Human form.
"I was Talking to Jack, then he just keep blacking out," Cortana said.
"It was like. It was like getting flashbacks," I said. "Ow, My head," as I put my hand on my head.
"Jack, Jack," Arcee said. "Cortana, Call June, Tell her to get here now,"
"Already calling," Cortana said.
"Jack, Speak to me what is it, What's wrong?" Arcee said.
As I saw this Blue box and it felt familiar to. A Tardis. What is a Tardis, why did I call it that. Then I blacked out.
(Arcee POV)
Jack just lost consciousness. But I got him and went into the House and put him on his bed. Then called base.
"Arcee to Base," I said.
"Go ahead, Arcee," Optimus said.
"Optimus, Something has happened to Jack, He just lost consciousness. Saying that he was getting flashbacks of something. I can use Ratchet here," I said.
"What can I do?" Ratchet said. As I got his jumper off. Then saw a rash.
"Ratchet, there is a silvery rash on his arm I have never seen before since after we got back from Cybertron. He never used to use jumper till he got back. Ratchet I need you to check this," I said.
"Okay, I'm on my way," Ratchet said.
"In human form," I said.
"We will be Arcee, Stay with Jack," Optimus said.
"I'm not going anywhere," I said.
"Arcee, Jack," June shouted as she came in.
"June in here," I said.
As June came in.
"Arcee, what happened," June said.
"No idea, I just got back from the base, Jack complaint about having Flashbacks in the garage as Cortana was talking to him, Then he just lost consciousness. I got him in here, then I saw this," I said.
"What is that?" June said.
"No idea," I said. "I've never seen this on him, Since he got back from Cybertron he has been wearing jumpers ever since, Maybe this happened back on Cybertron. Could it of being the suits,"
"No, Jack was trained in Zero G Combat training and he never got a rash from those suits. It's not them, What ever this is," June said.
"Maybe Ratchet can find out, He and Optimus are on they way here, I just don't know what else to do," I said.
"You really care for him don't you," June said.
"I think I've fallen in love with him," I said.
"He is going to be okay," June said.
"I hope so," I said.
"Well from everything I've got his is fine, But he is still unconscious, But his heart rate is fast. I can hear 4 heartbeats," June said.
"4 Heartbeats," I said. Then I scanned him. "June, Jack's got 2 hearts,"
"What, But his is human," June said.
"From this he isn't, Actually Part Human, the other part nothing in the database," I said.
"What is going on here?" Ratchet said.
"Ratchet what is the Rash on his arm," I said.
"Back up June so I can scan him," Ratchet said as June moved over next to me. "By the all spark, This isn't a rash,"
"What is it?" Optimus said.
"This could of only came from Cybertron, Something on Cybertron has pumped full of some kind of liquid Cybertronian in the rash," Ratchet said.
"What, Would that not kill him," June said.
"No," Ratchet said. "From what I can tell, It is changing him,"
"Into what?" I said.
"If these readings are right. Then Jack is being changed into one of us, But that has never happened before," Ratchet said. "But it is spreading slowly,"
"Can you stop it," June said.
"No clue how to, If I try anything it could kill Jack," Ratchet said.
"There's one more thing, June was checking Jack pulse rating and there was 4 Heartbeats. I scanned him and found 2 Heart Binary system, But no matches on our species database. But Jack does read as Part human," I said.
"There is nothing I can do right now apart from getting back to the base and ran tests on his blood samples maybe find a way to slow maybe even stop it," Ratchet said.
"Then head back to base Ratchet, Arcee Since jack is like this, you are off duty till Jack is back on his feet again. We can manage," Optimus said.
"Got it, Not like I would leave Jack. Not like this," I said.
Then Both Ratchet and Optimus bridged back to base from the garage.
"So there is a chance now Jack can be changed into like you Arcee. But now it is like Jack isn't my son, his father didn't have 2 hearts. Nor do I so who really is Jack," June said.
"He is still your son, You raised him, June. Whatever this is maybe he may remember how this is happening to him when he wakes up," I said.
"Me too," June said. "I don't want to lose him even if he is not my son,"
"I don't want to lose Jack either, but what is really happening to him in there," I said.
"I have no idea," June said.
"I'm stay here tonight," I said.
"Stay with him as long as you want. I have to head back, Just call me if he wakes up," June said.
"I will," I said.
Then June left and then I was feeling tired so I was about to get in the bed next to him as.
"Arcee," Cortana said.
"Yes," I said.
"We are getting a comlink from Aira," Cortana said.
"Give me the coordinates, Call me if Jack wakes up," I said heading out and then and change out of my Human form and back into my Cybertronian form then Cortana opened a bridge and I went through where I found Airachnid there.
"What are you doing here? I was expecting Jack," Airachnid said.
"Jack lost consciousness, when he was getting some kind of Flashbacks," I said.
"What?" Aira said.
"Not the only thing, Did you know about the rash on his arm," I said.
"Yeah noticed it on my scanners," Aira said. "What about it?"
"Ratchet just had a look at it. It's slowly changing jack into one of us," I said.
"What, Okay, That's new. He was asking if it could make memories, Dream," Aira said. "But I told him no, That it couldn't then asked him of he saw any places where he could search up. Jack only said one name. Torchwood,"
"What's Torchwood," I said.
"No idea," Aira said. "You should get back to him,"
"Yeah, I should," I said. "Cortana, I need a bridge,"
"I would come but doubt the others would like that," Aira said.
"Or me," I said as the bridge opened. Then I walked through and then Cortana shut it down and I went back to my human form. Then went into to Jack's room but he still hadn't work up. So I went and got into the bed next to him. Then I fell asleep.

When I woke up, Jack still hadn't work up.
"Cortana how is Jack's vitals'," I said.
"They are still in the green, But he hasn't woke up," Cortana said.
"What is happening to him?" I said.
"No idea, but from what I can tell, both of his Heart are beating, there is even brain activity too, I can't tell why he isn't waking up," Cortana said.
"Then what is going on in that brain of his," I said.
XXX
After 2 Weeks, Jack was still the same, He hasn't woke up. June comes home everyday hoping Jack is awake, but he still isn't. I have no idea still what is happening to him. Jack was human, Now he suddenly has 2 hearts and a rash on his arm which has take over that whole arm. Apart from his hand.
I had calls from Airachnid too, Seeing if Jack is up. Even She has me calling her Aira now. Now she wanted me to convince Optimus into letting her join up.
I was in the garage watching things just in case.
"Cortana, Jack," I said.
"Still asleep, But Vitals' are stabile," Cortana said.
"What the hell is going on, 2 Weeks Cortana, and he hasn't woke up," I said.
"What if those Flashbacks he had are getting into order and the only way for Jack to get them right is to be like the way he is now," Cortana said.
"Let's just hope, He wakes up soon," I said.
I talked to Optimus about Aira, he wanted to see her first. So the next time, I got a comlink, I'll send him to talk to her, himself. I am still not leaving Jack. 2 Weeks ago, I thought I was falling in love with him, But I fell in love with him long before that. Back when we first fight against the controlled and Programmed Airachnid.
"Arcee," Cortana said.
"Yes," I said.
"Jack Vitals' have spiked, It looks like he is waking up," Cortana said.
"About time, Call June let her know," I said.
"Will do," Cortana said.
As I went to his room and found him up.
"Jack," I said.
"Hey, Cee," Jack said.
"What happened to you?" I said.
"I was remembering," Jack said.
"For 2 Weeks," I said.
"I was out for 2 weeks," Jack said.
"Yes," I said. "Optimus took my off duty to keep an eye on you. Not that I minded. What happened,"
"I was remember before I woke up here, everything, From back then. I'm not human Cee," Jack said.
"I knew, What is that other side of yours, I know your part human but you have 2 hearts and Not June or Tony Stark had them," I said.
"Because They weren't my parents," Jack said.
"Who is?" I said.
"My Mum, She's human, Rose Tyler. Dad, Well, His is a Timelord, Where I got my 2 Hearts from. He just went by the Doctor," Jack said.
"What about you? Who were you before," I said.
"Harry Tyler, But I can't go and use that name anymore, To be honest, I kind of like using the name I had for the pass 16 years here," Jack said.
That's all for this chapter.
