The arrival in Jasper

Jack Darby sat in his garage, surfing the web on his lap top for any sign of his missing friend, Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots.

"Anything?" Jack's motorbike, and Autobot, Arcee asked and Jack shook his head.

"Nothing to do with you guys, only fake photos of aliens." He explained and kept searching through the photos, before the door to the garage opened and Jack's mother emerged with a serious look.

"Uh, Jack? You might want to turn around." Arcee explained, so Jack did just that, but before he could get a good view, June (Jack's mother) grabbed his ear and pulled him out of the garage.

"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow! Mom! I need to go to the base and..." He tried to explain, though in response June's grip tightened.

"The autobots can wait, you're coming with me to meet our new neighbours." She pushed and Jack groaned at the thought of meeting some people that he would likely never talk to again, but due to the pain of his mother's grip, he reluctantly came along.

"Mom, I reeeeaaaally meed to get back to the base." He said as they exited the house.

"No." June pushed as they walked onto the footpath and over to their new neighbours house. June knocked on the door and soon after it opened to reveal, a woman with dark hair sitting in a wheelchair.

"Oh, you must be our new neighbours, I'm Paula." She said with a smile and June shook her hand.

"I'm June, this is my son Jack." June said and Jack waved a hand in response.

"Just a second, Artemis! Come meet our new neighbours!" Paula yelled into the house and in about 10 seconds a girl wearing a black shirt and grey pants emerged with the longest blonde hair Jack had ever seen.

"This is my daughter Artemis, Artemis these are our new Neighbours June and Jack." Paula explained and Artemis simply waved a hand with her eyes closed.

"Hi." She said simply and Jack smiled for a split second in response.

"So what brings you to Jasper?" June asked politely.

"Some peace and quiet, we came from Gotham and, as I presume you know the city's crime rate is higher than most others." Paula explained and June nodded in response before noticing Jack's lack of care.

"Jack, why don't you show Artemis around town?" June asked and Jack redirected his attention to her.

"Sorry but I have to help some friends unpack, they moved here as well." Artemis explained and Paula looked at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Jack can drop you off." June said with a smile and Artemis shrugged in response.

"Sure. What's the address?" Jack asked and Artemis wrote it down on some paper and handed it to him before he noticed that the address was next to his best friend's. Jack lead Artemis back to his garage where Arcee lay dormant, Jack tossed Artemis a helmet before they mounted the Autobot and Artemis noticed the symbol on Arcee's screen to be the same one that Levi had on his suit when he first woke up, though she just passed it as stolen by Cadmus. They took off without Jack having to look at any sort of navigation, after all it was Raf's new neighbour. They quickly arrived and as they did Jack noticed Raf exiting his house.

"Thanks for the ride." Artemis said as she walked up to the house next to Raf's.

"Who's she?" Raf asked a she walked over to Jack and Arcee.

"New neighbour, looks like she's a friend of your new neighbours." Jack explained and Raf nodded in response. Artemis walked up to the house and knocked on the door, hoping she came to the right address, but as the door opened she knew she did.

"Artemis!" M'gann said happily as she opened the door completely and hugged her best friend.

"Hey M'gann." Artemis said with a smile before Connor walked over.

"How's Jasper so far for you?" He asked with a smirk but before Artemis could respond Levi walked out.

"Levi? What're you doing here?" Artemis asked and he quickly noticed she was Tigress.

"We got him out of the interrogation room, but Batman wouldn't let him stay at the watchtower, so we took him in." M'gann explained with a smile and Artemis looked over too Levi who also smiled before she smiled as well.

"That's nice, but what about Prime?" She asked before Levi's eyes glowed and the holographic Optimus appeared.

"We fused." Levi said with a smile and Optimus disappeared. Artemis walked inside and the four began to talk, or rather three as Levi listened to their call backs to Artemis' time as an archer at Mount Justice.

"It must've taken you a few trips to get all your things here." Artemis said as she examined the boxes everywhere.

"Actually, it turns out that Levi and Optimus could transform into the Bio-ship, so we only had to make one trip." M'gann said and Artemis redirected her attention to Levi with a smile.

"You're full of surprises, aren't you kid?" She said and rubbed his hair.

"You could say that." Levi answered with a smirk.

"You guys get a training room as well?" Artemis asked and M'gann looked at her in surprise.

"Batman called us earlier and mentioned training, but from what I can tell we don't have one." Connor said as he looked around and Levi got an idea.

"Optimus, can you scan the house?" He asked and within a split second his eyes glowed, after a few moments they returned to normal and he stood up before walking over to the fireplace. He placed his hand on a brick and it pushed in before sliding open to reveal some sort of elevator.

"Found it." Levi said with a smile before the fireplace went back to normal.

"Well Levi you're probably going to be the only one using it." M'gann said with a small smile.

"You aren't?" Artemis asked and she shook her head in response.

"I don't want to go back into battle, I want to settle down for a while." She explained and leaned back.

"Same, but I might come and assist every once and a while." Connor said as he rubbed Levi's head and messed up his hair.

"Is he alright to come patrol with me after dark? With your permission of course." Artemis said formally and M'gann smirked at her friend's joke.

"It's fine, as long as he's home before midnight." She said with a stern look and Artemis nodded in response with a slight smirk before redirecting her attention to Levi.

"What d'you say kid? You up for the challenge?" She asked, and he nodded in response.

That night

Artemis stood on the roof top of the largest building she could find in her Tigress uniform without her mask, she was waiting for Levi who should've arrived half an hour beforehand.

"First night on patrol and he's already late." She mumbled as she looked out over Jasper, secretly hoping something would blow up and give her some excitement, before she spotted a blue and red truck pull into the alley way just next to her.

"Took you long enough!" She yelled and put her mask on before jumping down, within a few seconds the truck morphed into Transformer.

"Sorry, Connor and I were training." He apologised and she smirked.

"Doesn't really matter, only thing I've seen that comes close to breaking the law is a sport car pulling a sudden stop at a red light." Tigress said and Transformer shrugged before he morphed on some jet packs and flew to the top of the building while Tigress climbed up.

"Batman told me the only big threat close to this place is a group of ex army agents called MECH." She explained before looking out over the building, to see a familiar blue motorbike driving into town.

"Optimus said that name sounds familiar to him, but he doesn't know why." Transformer explained and Tigress redirected her attention to him and gave him a surprised look. After a few hours of waiting Transformer spotted a group of guys follow a girl into an alleyway just near them.

"Got something, a group of guys just followed a girl into an alley, nothing wrong there." He explained with a bit of sarcasm in his voice for the final part.

"You can take them." Tigress said and he nodded in response before morphing on some boosters and flying over to the top of the building where the group had cornered the girl.

"Called it." He mumbled and decided to make an entrance.

"Listen girlie, we're gonna take this nice and slow, now take off all your clothes." A man holding a knife said to the girl and Transformer rolled his eyes before placing two fingers in his mouth and whistling loudly.

"Hi!" He said with a smile before dropping down behind the group as the directed their attention to him.

"Nice outfit kid, now get lost before we snap your neck." One of the men said and Transformer smirked.

"I'd love to see you try." He said and the group completely turned away from the girl and got out as many weapons as they could.

'No killing.' Levi thought to himself and Optimus' head nodded. The men raced in and tried to hit Transformer with him only making the simplest of movements to dodge, and after a few minutes he got bored.

"Time to finish this." He mumbled before one of the guys went to hit him with a rod, before he caught it and kneed the man in the stomach. Slowly he began to take the men out one by one until only one of them remained.

"Please, I swear I'll stop!" He begged and Transformer just stared him down.

"Get out of here, before I change my mind." He said sinisterly and the man nodded before he raced away. Transformer turned to the girl who was hiding behind some trash cans in a corner, he walked over and looked at the girl, but before he could do anything he saw a flash of light.

"Optimus!" Someone yelled before the light faded away and Transformer looked down at the girl, she had long blonde hair, blue eyes, had a green t-shirt over a white top and a necklace with a pendulum around her neck, she also looked to be around his age.

"Are you ok?" He asked and kneeled down next to her and she just gave a simple nod in response.

"Thank you." She said and he nodded in response before taking off for the building were Tigress was.

"How'd it go?" She asked and Levi removed his mask and nodded.

"Good." He said, not even mentioning the flash of light he saw. After a few hours of absolutely nothing the two decided to call it a night and Levi jumped back down into the alley before transforming into the bio-ship and taking off for his home in camouflage mode. He quickly arrived and transformed above the house where no one could see him, before he dropped into the backyard in his normal clothes and walked in through the back door. He looked around to see darkness until he turned on the kitchen light to dimly light the room, and on the couch he saw M'gann sound asleep with a blanket over her.

"Right on time." He heard someone whisper and turned around to see Connor leaning against the kitchen counter with a smile on his face.

"You didn't have to wait up for me." Levi said with a smile and Connor shook his head.

"I didn't, she wanted to so I stayed up with her, it's ironic, I wanted to go to sleep and she ended up falling asleep first." He explained and Levi nodded in response.

"Connor? Levi?" M'gann said faintly as she sat up and stretched.

"What time is it?" She asked and walked over looking dazed.

"Midnight." Connor responded and she nodded in response.

"How'd everything go?" She asked and Levi sighed and got a serious look.

"Something happened." He said remembering the flash he had and M'gann and Connor got worried looks.

"Nothing harmful, just , weird." He explained and the two gave him a look as to go on, so he explained everything that happened.

"What did the voice sound like?" M'gann asked and Levi thought about the question.

"A deep male voice." He explained and Connor sighed.

"You should get some rest, we'll think about this tomorrow." He said with a smirk and Levi nodded in response before he left for his room.

"What do you think?" Connor asked and M'gann shrugged in response.

"I don't know." She responded simply.
