Jetstorm and Slipstream woke up to see that they were in an armored vehicle. Since there was no windows they could not tell where they were. They had to wonder what was Drift going to say when they were not back in time. While Drift was still strict he was not as strict as he used to be, but they still followed his rules. How were they going to escape?

#####

Drift was pacing back and forth in the scrap yard. His students were late. While he always gave them extra time incase they spotted humans and had to hide till they left. He could not hide the feeling that something was wrong. He was worried, and he could not help it. Ever since Bee told them about MECH he became more concerned for his minion's safety.

Throughout the months Drift had asked Bee for more facts that he might have forgotten to tell the

others about. Each fact made Drift's spark ache as he rememberd them. They had learned about their

biology, and they were merciless. Not caring weither they hurt a Cybertronian child or not. Drift

knew Bee had tried to cheer him up a bit by saying that there was a good chance that they had no

idea that when he was attacked back then they did not know he was a child at the time. But that

did little to help ease his fears.

######

They had tried the doors and cutting a way through, neither idea worked. The door was only able to be opened from the outside, and the walls were all too heavily armored to break through. They had attempted to get in touch with Dirt but the signal could not get through.

Jumping at the sound of a light 'THUD' that came from the roof of the van. Light footsteps had made their way to the back of the vehicle. The door opened and the girl they had seen before had jumped into the back of the car. She still wore the hood over her hair, and even though it was night she still had her sunglasses on. Without saying a word she motioned for them to get out, through the open doors that were healed parallel to each other.

Before they could asked her what was going on or even her name she put her finger up and brought it to where her mouth was telling them to not say a word. Then redid the motion. Jumping out of the armored truck they saw the girl do the same, except she also closed the doors, and jumped into some bushes near by.

Jetstorm and Slipstream ran toward the girl who saved them from MECH. Reaching her they helped her to her feet.

"You should come back with us to our base." Slipstream said

Jetstorm nodded "Especially if you are injured."

The boys saw the girl shake her head and made the same movement she did in the van. She walked off deeper into the woods. Instead of fallowing her like they wanted to do, they knew they had to get back to the scrap yard. They were late enough as it was.

Reaching the wall to the scrap yard that served as their base they both gulped and entered, knowing that they were going to be in trouble for being late.

"I found them." Grimlock called and the others ran to where the Dinobot was.

When Drift reached them, they both looked down to the ground, they knew that he would be disappointed. Seeing his feet both boys lightly flinched even though they both knew that Drift would never harm them, no matter what they did.

Drift saw them flinch and that they were looking down to the ground. "What happened?" He asked softly. Knowing that if he yelled it would cause more harm than good at the moment. When neither of them answered, instead of getting upset, he turned to Bee. "I think that it would be wise if we talked alone."

BumbleBee nodded and replied "Okay, lets go guys and give Drift and his students some space."

Slowly the team left the three alone with the leader, being the last to leave. Once Drift was sure all of them were gone he returned his attention to his pupils.

Sitting down on the ground he said again "What happened?"

This time they looked up at him, and fidgeted a bit where they stood, looking a bit guilty. Even though they had nothing to be guilty about. Looking at eachother, and then Drift again they both sighed. Knowing that they would more and likely stay here till Drift got an answer.

"W-W-We think MECH had attempted to capture us." Jetstorm said so softly that Drift almost missed it.

"Why do you think that?" he asked holding back his desire to comfort his boys.

Slipstream spoke up "B-Because we were shocked and then woke up inside an armored truck. We tried to escape but it seemed as if the truck was made to hold something like us inside."

Drift nodded "How did you two manage to get away from them?" he asked trying to hide the fear and concern he felt. Had those humans harmed his students?

"The girl we all have been seeing saved us." Jetstorm answered

"From what we witnessed she is trying to keep her identity a secoret from us. Keeping her hair and eyes from view." Slipstream added

Drift nodded glad that they were both safe and silently thanked that girl. Whoever she was. He was glad that now they were safe, back at the base, and that they had relaxed and were not stuttering like they were when they came in.

####

The hooded girl exited the forest and jumped up onto the balcony that went to her room and entered it. Glad to know that her roommate was still at the library. Taking off the hood to reveal brown locks of hair that had a slight wave to them. Removing the visor and placing both of the items in the trunk by her bed. Just in time for the door to open, jumping on her bed she picked up one of her text books and opened to the page that had the bookmark placed inside.

"Have you been here all this time?" Chelcey asked

"Why?" she replied "Is that a problem?"

"Well no, but I thought you'd be in the library."

"Nope."

"Girl, we need to find you something to do besides study."

"I don't always study."

"Track don't count." Chelcey deadpanned

The brunette shrugged her shoulders to the blonde.

Sitting down next to the girl on the bed she looked into blue eyes. "Tonight we are going to go to a party and you'll met guys and we will have so much fun."

With a playful smirk the girl shoved her room mate off of her bed, with her foot and laughed as she sat up, her straight hair sticking up all over and some of it fell over her face. Causing the brunette to laugh so hard she eventually fell off the other side of her bed.

"Serves you right." she said her laughing room mate. Once she stopped laughing Chelcey helped up

her friend "Seriously, your always in here and on occation go for a walk, so your ashmia won't get

worked up. We need to get you to a party. You know met some guys."

"I have guy friends." she stated

"Yeah, three." Chelcey said "and two of them don't even go here."

Picking up her book she retorted "So"

"Please, one night."

Even with her back turned she could tell that her friend was giving her the puppy dog look. A look she herself had used many times in the past, along with a look that practically said 'We all know how this will end.' Sighing she gave up "Fine, we'll go."

Squealing with happiness her sorority sister jumped up with a clap of her hands. "Thanks, girl you won't regret it." she said as she ran off to get one of their other sorority sister."

With wide eyes she mumbled to herself "I already do."

######

With the news of their almost capture Drift had his students stay close by him and another who had a vehical mode outside of the base. During their time at the base they spent it with Drift, and Russell. Although they missed the freedom to walk around alone they knew that it was for the better that they stay close to someone who actually had a vehical mode to escape.

Right now they were hanging out with Russell, staying close to the base. No one could really blame Drift for being over protective over his mini con students; they were almost kidnaped and taken far away from him without him even realising that they were in trouble, before it was too late to do a thing to stop them.

While Jetstorm and Slipstream were annoyed that Drift was constantly keeping them close, they understood. Even they did not want to travel too far from their master, but they also did not want to go everywhere with him all the time. At least at the scrap yard he was not as overprotective, as he was in the field. Though the two had to wounder who and where was the person that saved them.

####

The brunette walked in between her raven haired friend and her blonde friend. Regretting that she had allowed Chelcey to talk her into coming to a party on campus. Her blue visor covering her eyes from view. Chelcey had stopped asking why she always wore those sunglasses whenever she was outside. Especially at night in a bright area. At least she never wore them over her eyes in complete darkness she just held onto them, either keeping them on her head or in her purse. The raven haired girl patted her brunette friend on her shoulder to get her attention. After getting it she pointed to a boy with lighter brown hair then she had.

"Hey, person." the boy said with smile.

Smiling at her friend with a slight laugh she replied "Hey Jay."

"Forgot her name again?" The raven haired girl teased

"No, I haven't." Jay defended

"Then what is it?" SHe demanded

"Okay, hey..."

#####

Bee knew that it was not his place to question Drift on how protective he was being over Jetstorm and Slipstream. He sympathised and had commanded that the others should not bother Drift and them right now. Considering that Drift and his students had gotten back to Earth only six months ago so BumbleBee understood where the samurai bot was coming from.

They had just returned to Earth and then a few months after they got back into their routine they were kidnapped. The yellow bot understood that the boys did not want to be too far from Drift either. Now whenever he had them all split up into teams Bee always let them stay together. He even noticed that Drift never seemed to scold his students when either of them to scared into the other's arms anymore. Instead he would actually move a bit close to them in certain situations and ignore it all together in others.

Once when he was finishing his late night patrol, he returned to base and had seen that Drift had allowed his students to sleep closer to him then they normally would. While they all knew that MECH had no idea where their base was. The two just felt safer when they were closer to Drift, and Bee could not blame them. MECH had scared them, and with what they learned about them. The threat the team of humans heald had shaken them up when they were kidnapped.

Thinking back to what Drift had told him. Jetstorm and Slipstream had both told their teacher about the mysterious girl; that the Bee Team had been seeing all around during their missions, had rescued them. She had her hair and eyes covered, Bee kept thinking the girl had to be on of his human allies that helped out Team Prime. Except if the girl was Miko she would not hide her identity, while Ava would do that she would be concerned with the minion's health and make sure they got back safely to their base. Not walk away.

Seeing Drift coming over to him Bee stopped walking and waited.

Reaching the yellow bot Drift asked "Have you figured out who was it that rescued my students?"

"I have some theories but until we know for sure that is all they are." he replied "It could also have been a person who assumed that they were children of our species and helped save them."

Drift nodded at what Bee had said. "Perhaps it was one of your human allies from before." Drift offered

"I have already thought of them. While it could be possible, it is unlikely. What are our chances of running into one or two of my old human friends from Team Prime. Here in this city." Bee replied

"Greater than the chance a random human decided to save two boys from a different species even if they thought they were children." Drift said "If it was a random human they would have had to see the whole encounter. If not then they would have walked away. Chances are it has to be someone that knows about the Autobots."

Drift's words were practically telling him that it was one of the two human girls from Team Prime. but which one was helping them out? If it was someone from his old team why were they being so secretive? Deciding to take a walk to clear his mind, he left the base. Telling Fix-it that he was heading out and to call him if any trouble came up.

His walk lead him to the forest that surrounded the college in Crown City. The campus was just turned into a university. The dorms, sororities and fraternities were still looking brand new. The greek letters, were made of metal and shined in sunlight. He paused when he saw the same symbols that were on the mysterious girl's jacket. BumbleBee sighed he desperately wanted to know if Ava or Miko was inside that house or not. What Drift told him made some sense, not a lot of humans were kind enough to help them out. Sure a bunch of humans were kind and caring, but how many would save two Cybertronian boys from MECH. From past experiences with the human members of Team Prime, told him that if it was one of them they would have stayed behind. Miko to catch up or to tease and remind him that he has human allies that he can rely on. While Ava would make sure that they are alright, staying to see if she could help out in anyway.

Walking away from the building before he could be spotted he headed back to the scrapyard. He missed the humans of Team Prime and wanted to reconnect with them. Unfortunately he could never talk to them again. Not as long as Decepticons like SteelJaw and Soundwave were around. Bee promised himself that he'd do whatever it takes to protect them, even if it meant disting himself from the group. Arriving

back at the scrapyard he was greeted by Denny and Russell, seeing the frown on the bot's face neither of

them greeted the returning Autobot.

The door alarm went off causing Bee to transform into his Alt. Mode before it opened. When it opened a white car pulled in. Stepping out of the driver seat was a girl with brown hair in a ponytail Her eyes were covered by a pair of black shaded sunglasses. Denny approached the girl with a to see what she wanted.

"Can I help you?" He asked

"Um..yeah..I think you can at least." she said and looked around a bit.

"So what are you looking for?" Denny asked

"Well my Sci-Fi club and I are making a small drone and we need a few extra parts, so I came by here to see if you had some of this things on the list." She replied her eyes unknowingly landing on BumbleBee.

Denny clapped his hands. "Well I'll see what we have." he offered "What'd ya need?"

Taking out the list out of her hoodie pocket she listed "A few scraps of metal, glass lenses, wireless transmitter, and well that about covers it.

"If you don't mind me asking, why does a Si-Fi club need a drone?"

Smiling the girl answered "To get some good sky shots for a project we are working on."

"Ok, well I'll go and get the items you requested and then add up your total." Denny declared and left, knowing that if the stranger did take anything BumbleBee would not let her.

Bee watched as the girl casually leaned against her car as she waited for Denny to return, after five minutes he realized that Denny has not returned yet and figured the items on her list was all over the scrapyard. Bee had to admit after the scrap yard was destroyed Denny did take it hard, but they did eventually rebuild the scrapyard. Though it was not as organized as before, and their sensors for Decepticons were still faulty.

When Bee snapped out of his thoughts, he realized that the girl was facing him, but he was unsure if she was looking at him. While her appearance looked familiar her voice did not. 'Why is she staring at me?' he questioned himself.

Denny had returned with the items that she requested, putting the parts in a box he handed it to her.

"So, what project are you working on?" Denny asked

The girl smiled "The project is the drone for one person in my sci-fi club and we will use the drone

to record different sky shots, especially night shots to make it look like we are traveling through

space. A friend of mine will add music to it." she explained

"So, how long have you and this sci-fi club been active?"

Raising an eyebrow at him she said "Since high school. We had a few other members but they left. Before you ask we could not get in contact with them, so we don't talk much."

As the girl left Bee waited until her car was completely out of site and transformed after the door closed. Transforming Bee looked at the retreating vehicle and shook his head.

"What?" Denny asked

"I...I-It is nothing."
