"So, let me get this straight, this thing that you call the… Allspark somehow merged with Sari's key card and now she can somehow bring you guys back to life whenever you die? Weird," Tyla said from her spot leaning against the wall on the overly large, grey bed the alien robots claimed to be for medical purposes.
"That's… a crude way of putting it, but yes," the leader of the bots, Optimus confirmed, looking to Ratchet who grumbled something about it being the gist of it all. The latter bot was still wearing that strange eye patch thingy on his face, using it to get a closer look at Sari's key. If it had been her, Tyla knew she would have felt uneasy, but oddly enough, Sari stayed pretty calm about the whole ordeal.
"Does that make me a superhero now?" Sari asked, electing a smile from Tyla. Of course that's where someone her age would go with the news they just received about bringing someone back from the dead. Tyla only hoped that wouldn't develop into a saviour complex later down the road.
"What's a superhero?" Bumblebee asked, having been chewed out by the bigger bot, along with Highdrive, about sneaking in two human girls without so much as asking permission first. In their defence, Tyla argued that they didn't have time to do so, considering the state Prowl had been in when the two of them snuck into the two younger bots.
"It's kind of like a cop, but a really cool one with like superpowers and stuff," Tyla tried to explain, pulling out her phone to search up a picture, only to find that her phone wasn't picking up on any signals below who knew how many metres of water. "Crud."
"Basically like you guys but less… robot-bits," Sari explained in her own way. The bots still seemed pretty confused but accepted the comparison for now. Sari turned her attention back to the one the older of the two medics. "So does it?"
The old bot huffed, removing his monocle, and setting it aside on the berth. Tyla nearly took a step back when she noticed that the monocle was nearly half Sari's size. Just how big were these robots really?
"Something like that, but that doesn't mean you're invincible or something. We still don't know how durable you humans are."
Tyla flinched at Ratchet's choice of words but only shook her head as she answered what she felt was truth enough. "Oh trust me, we're not."
Alarm crossed the six robotic faces in the room before Tyla ended up on the receiving end of Sari's elbow. "What she means to say is that we humans are very durable. You can't squash us that easily, you know."
Tyla parted her lips to interject before the big green one that had called himself Bulkhead earlier sighed in relief. "Phew, that's a relief. I'd hate for that to happen to you."
"Well… I wouldn't go so far as to say we're indestructible," Tyla managed to correct, earning a glare from Sari, to which she responded with a look of her own. The younger girl conceded, knowing that they would have been in big trouble if the bots hadn't shown up when they did back at the factory. "But as long as you don't purposefully step on us, we should be okay."
The bots nodded their understanding. After a short silence, Highdrive looked up to Optimus, reaching the taller bot's shoulder in terms of height. "So, what happens now, sir?"
Optimus frowned some in thought, "I guess we need to start setting up a base and figure out what we're going to do from there. There's nothing much we can do besides that for now."
" In that case, I know the perfect place," Sari grinned.
