Song chapter today, sort of. It got stuck in my head so it gets stuck here. Mostly because the mental image refused to go away. Someday, when my scanner stops giving me fits I'll have my sketches up to go along with. But for now:

Chapter 83 - Levitate

(MPOV)

I woke automatically and started at the new surroundings before memory returned, I laughed softly and rolled out of my hammock, wandering barefoot to the door, cocking my head to the side at the sound of Ironhide's voice grumbling something. I walked toward his voice and stopped at the enormous door, covering my eyes.

"I can't reach it either," Ironhide grumbled, "Pitfire, I don't think even Optimus is going to be able to reach that."

"I could always levitate you," Ratchet stated.

"No."

"Oh come on, it's been vorns since I dropped you," Ratchet snorted.

"Still no." Ironhide grumbled.

"Am I allowed to look?" I called out curiously.

"Yes, but you should be asleep," Ratchet grumbled.

"It's three," I laughed, opening my eyes to see a mass of twisted wires spread out around the bots. "I'll go back to sleep in an hour, maybe." I could hear Optimus' familiar footsteps striding toward me.

(RPOV)

"What are you trying to do, anyway?" Kae asked curiously.

"Trying to set up central," Ironhide grumbled. "If Ratchet's building you a new body my niece, we're going to need a proper central this time."

"Optimus, can you reach that?" Ratchet added, looking up at the Prime as he wandered into the room.

Kae looked up to watch Optimus patiently reaching toward the frankly impressively high ceiling. "We could always levitate Ironhide," Optimus rumbled blandly.

"For the last time NO!" Ironhide growled. "Levitate Ratchet-"

"Only Kae's allowed to do that," Ratchet stated flatly. "One time deal because she didn't know how much I hate heights."

"Really?" Kae asked with wide eyes. "Did you want me to do it? I mean, so long as you promise to catch me if you lose control of the field..."

"Hah! Volunteer!" Ironhide bellowed gleefully as Ratchet grinned, handing her the pack. She strapped herself into it quickly and looked at the masses of wiring. Then up at the ceiling.

"So what, you just want them hung up or something?" she asked.

"Pretty much," Hide snorted, "we're going to run it through the building, hook up everyone's personal quarters into an energon collective."

Bumblebee promptly plunked down on one of the enormous benches, quietly playing a song and grinning. Kae looked over at him curiously, then grinned.

"Appropriate," she laughed.

"If I may?" Optimus rumbled with a broad grin of his own, holding his hand toward Kae as the chorus of the song began playing. Ratchet began laughing.

"You know I can take you straight to heaven if you let me, you know I, I can make your body levitate if you let me, you know I can make your body levitate lev-levitate, you know..."

"Let's do this!" she laughed and immediately began floating in the air, snapping her own levitation field around the mass, delicately lifting the wiring.

"What're these for, anyway?" she called down.

"EM field among other things," Sideswipe called up to her, "if you neutralize them it's fine!"

Kae began grinning as the energon in her system began reacting to Optimus', glowing beneath her skin. She reached out and caught the end of the fibres as they coiled, energon flashing along them. They began to glow, undulating amidst the fields.

"You know I can take you straight to heaven if you let me, you know I, I can make your body levitate if you let me..."

"Very pretty, my Kae," Optimus rumbled with a low laugh as Kae began to glow a bit more brightly. Ratchet watched in shock as the fibres untangled themselves before plunging into a proper weave. Kae was building a proper cathedral.

"There see? Like that!" Chromia stated cheerfully.

"She's remembering it," Optimus whispered, "I can see the images in her mind... she remembers the cathedrals..." The copper wiring began to glow alongside the neutralized neural fibres, twisting into intricate, beautiful designs. Kae was dancing now, controlling her field with the movements, beautifully in time to the music Bee was still quietly playing.

One of the neural fibres reached toward her, she grasped it lightly and fed it a massive surge of energon, they began growing, following conduits.

"Is she..." Ratchet whispered.

"She's hooking the rooms together," Optimus murmured in an awestruck tone.

"Into the berths if she's strong enough," Ratchet murmured. Kae smiled and directed the glowing, growing fibres into the connectors.

"What the fuck is that!?" a voice yelled outside the door. Ratchet jerked in surprise. Kae remained in the air, her arms outspread as she danced, glowing as brightly as the neural fibres and copper wiring, she and Optimus completely oblivious to their surroundings now as their energonic fields danced together.

Jacobs pounded into the common and froze, staring at Kae.

"Upgrading the wiring," Ratchet supplied blandly.

"It's Jacobs," Ironhide snorted, "We're wiring in the energon collective, it's not going to hurt anything, and we'll take it down when we leave the building."

"Oh, right, bit of warning next time, it's friggen creepy to see this stuff wandering around on the ceilings of it's own accord." Jacobs snorted, he looked back up at Kae. "Gotta admit though, that's just cool."

Kae chose that moment to fall still, looking around herself with closed eyes.

"I think that's it," she murmured.

"That's the lot," Ironhide agreed with a broad grin. She promptly disconnected herself and curled up in Optimus' palm, looking around at her handiwork.

Ratchet smiled as Optimus cradled the tiny Femme as the treasure she was. She turned and looked at her Optimus with a wicked grin.

∂Care to try it out?∂ she asked rather cheekily.

Ironhide began laughing, reaching out a hand to steady Optimus, just in case.

As always, reviews would be much appreciated. See you tomorrow folks!
