Chapter 29

Reawakening

"Hm-hm-hm." A large transformer hummed as he sat on a bed in the med-bay. One leg was crossed over the other and the bot continued humming as he flipped through a large newspaper with his equally large hands.

"Man this print is small!" The transformer exclaimed as he brought out a pair of reading glasses and balanced them on his nose.

A soft noise came from the corner of the room. The bot looked up, surveying his surroundings.

"Hm." He shrugged it off as he continued reading.

Emrial groaned again and rolled over. She saw a large figure sitting on the table next to her. She tried to focus on who it was. Her vision eventually cleared to reveal a hauntingly familiar bot.

Emrial sat bolt up right screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Wha?!?!?!" The white Autobot was so startled that he fell off the table. Grabbing the edge of it he pulled himself up.

"Settle down! What's wrong?" He tried to calm the girl who still was hollering at him.

Emrial stopped, noticing that all that covered her top half was bandages she pulled the covers up around her and started shouting again. "WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!" She yelled.

"Hey, hey. Take it easy. The name's Jet Fire." The large Autobot said soothingly.

Emrial stopped, and took a deep breath to calm her nerves. "What happened? Where's Red Alert? How long have I been here?" Questions came pouring out of here.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. One at a time!" Jet Fire held up his hands. "I just arrived here about two weeks ago. Red Alert said that you had been injured in battle. He's been keeping you in stasis so your wounds could heal. You weren't supposed to wake up yet."

"How long have I been in 'stasis'?" Emrial quivered slightly as she was taking all this new information in.

"Hmm." Jet Fire scratched his head. "I dunno. 'Spose about...maybe a month or two..."

"What? I've been out of it for that long?!" Emrial couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Hold on. I should go call Red Alert." Jet Fire walked over to the com- link panel on the med-lab computer.

"Red Alert?"

There was a short pause before a sleepy response.

"What is it Jet Fire? Can't it wait until AFTER my recharge?" Red Alert yawned.

"Negative, Red, ol' boy. We got a situation down here."

"What's going on?" His voice was more frantic now. "You haven't been playing with my experiments again have you?!?!"

"Heh, heh...no." Jet Fire laughed sarcastically. "I told you before. I've learned my lesson. It's that girl."

"Emrial?"

"Uh, yeah...I don't see any others lying around."

Chopper hopped up to sit beside Emrial, chuckling in the background.

"Well, what about her?"

"She's woken up."

"Oh, for Cybertron's sake why didn't you say so?! I'll be right down!" Red Alert signed off.

Jet Fire turned back to face Emrial. "Red's on his way."

Emrial laughed with Chopper.

"What?" Jet Fire tilted his head.

Emrial continued giggling. "Your funny!"

"Hmm, never thought of me that way..." Jet Fire scratched his chin.

Emrial and Chopper burst out in another fit of laughter.

"What's so funny?" He looked back at them.

"Just that! The things you say. Your attitude." Emrial smiled.

Jet Fire couldn't help but chuckle a little bit too.

Just then, another bot interrupted their conversation.

"It's my watch, you can go recharge now." He muttered.

Jet Fire turned more serious. "No, that's okay Star Scream. Red's on his way. She's awake now."

"Good." The former Decepticon shuddered as he walked away. "Just keep her away from me!"

Emrial gasped as Star Scram exited the room. "What's he doing here?!"

Jet Fire sighed. "He's changed sides. Megatron betrayed him, and while he's not a very good team player, we had to accept him."

"What did he mean by 'watch'?" She asked.

"Well, you see..." Jet Fire scratched the back of his head. "Red said that someone always had to keep an eye on you to monitor your life support systems. Since Red couldn't stay here 24/7 we developed a shift system where we take turns watching you."

"You mean, Star Scream's been alone with me being helpless?!" Emrial gasped.

"Yeah..." Jet Fire didn't quite catch on to what she was saying.

"Do you know what he could have done? For sure he would kill me at first chance!" She shuddered.

"Hey, hey. Cool your jets. Star Scream has changed now. What's between you two anyways?" Jet Fire assured her.

Emrial sighed. "To make a long story short, I had a sword, he had a sword. He didn't like being defeated, but he was anyways. Apparently I hurt his pride..."

Jet Fire chuckled. "Yep, you sure got that right. He does have lots of warriors pride, and the ego to go with it."

The large doors to the med bay opened and Red Alert entered. He nodded to Jet Fire. "You can leave now."

"But we were just striking up a good conversation!" The large transformer whined.

"There'll be time for that later. I need to tend to Emrial's medical needs, and no doubt she wouldn't like you watching." The med-bot glared down the aerial leader.

"Oh." Jet Fire scuttled away quickly. "Let me know when you're up and about." He winked back at Emrial before making a quick escape.

"Red Alert, so much has happened." Emrial looked up at her old friend.

"You don't even know that half of it." He replied grimly as he set about removing all the monitoring wires and such from Emrial.

Ahem, I am going to skip the medical examination because...err...I want this story to remain just between G and PG, no higher! Thank you-

"So, how am I?" Emrial asked as she pulled her familiar old baggy long sleeved shirt over her head.

"Considering how badly you were damaged, you're healing quite nicely. But I'm afraid I'm still going to restrict you to stay inside the base, the med- bay preferably, and not to do much physical activity." Red concluded.

"How badly was I injured?" She looked up at the science officer.

Red Alert sighed, rubbing his forehead he hesitantly continued. "You had a hole almost straight through you, just like Smokescreen did, only you're not metal. Your organic parts were fatally wounded, and you were going to die."

Emrial froze with fear. "Really? What happened? And what happened to Smokescreen?"

Red painfully drew in a breath. Telling patients about their critical condition was not one the med-bots favorite jobs. "I'll have Smokescreen talk to you later. As I was saying about you, you were fatally wounded and we're going to die. You had lost a lot of you bodily fluid that the humans call blood. I had pretty much given up hope on you when..."

"When what?" She pressed.

"It's sort of hard to explain. I don't know what exactly happened, but you started to heal yourself."

"Really?" Emrial studied her hands.

"So, you're still in the process of healing. It was sort of creepy, though. For like the first few weeks the hole was still open and we could look inside you and see your heart pumping and stuff like that. It was really gross and eerie."

"Glad to know that. Thanks for sharing that, Red." Emrial stuck out her tongue as if she was gagging.

"Well, I should let you get some sleep. Don't do too much. You're body is still healing and it's very fragile right now." Red dimmed the lights.

Emrial nodded as she pulled the blankets that had been given to her around her. She closed her eyes and began dreaming. She couldn't wait until tomorrow when she could talk to Jet Fire again. She sighed as she drifted off to sleep. "Jet...Fire..." She smiled.

Chopper sat beside her friend until the early hours of the morning, when she herself drifted off to recharge. "I'm glad you've come back to us." She smiled, placing a comforting hand on the organic's shoulder. "When you are healed, then we shall discover..." Her thoughts trailed off.
