(Firefly's POV)

It has been a few days since Windblade and I arrived in Bumblebee's base. I was sitting near the Alchemor with Fixit talking about how he can improve the defence system very easily and not waste energon. Everyone was busy at this time of day. Drif's mini cons were training near the Alchemor so I could study their moves. Bumblebee was on patrol nothing exciting there. Strongarm was reading her rule book which is actually not that bad, if you have a passion for being an officer of the law. Sideswipe was probably planning a prank or waxing himself which reminded me of my younger brother before he went MIA. Grimlock was talking to Windblade about something, and for some reason I couldn't look away from her, with my head tilted a little to the side, my eyes roaming her beautiful body, from her face, to her lips, to her chest, to her waist and to her gorgeous wings, it made my spark rate rise really fast. I think she started to feel like someone was watching her so she moved her sideways to the left and saw my eyes looking all over her body. Then I shot my head up and as our optics met the world around me started to slow down and I think my spark stopped beating for a moment. I started to feel my cheeks burning blue out of embarrassment and shyness, so I looked away to avoid her gaze on me. Thank Primus that Fixit wasn't paying attention and asked me a question to distract me from embarrassing myself more.

"So, how are you enjoying Earth so tar..par..far?" Fixit asked me.

His glitches were a bit annoying but I don't blame him. I looked at him and down at the ground, then back at him again with a sweet smile.

"I think it beautiful. There's so many new places to explore and-"

I was interrupted by a loud, blaring alarm. I had to put my servos on my audio receptors.

"What is that noise!?" I shouted as nicely as I could. Everyone ran towards us with determined looks on their faces, that made me a little nervous. And Fixit answered my question.

"That was the proximity alarm, it goes off whenever there's a Decepticon near."

"Oh" I sighed in relief.

"Where is the Decepticon Fixit?" Bee said with a serious tone, that made respect him more for some reason.

It's hard to say, all I'm picking is a Cybertronian life signature, I don't know if they're Autobots or Decepticons." Fixit informed us.

Grimlock smirked and pounded his fist into his palm while he excitedly said "I f they're Decepticons I will take em' down."

Bumblebee just turned around and pointed at Windblade which made me a bit scared.

"Windblade, you and I will check if this Cybertronian is a threat or not, everyone else wait here until we come back." Everybody started to disperse and go back to their hobbies or whatever they were doing beforehand. Bumblebee was about to transform but frowned when he saw Grimlock's expression on his face, I guess he felt bad but I know there was something deeper going on, and my theory proved right when Bee put a servo on his shoulder. "Sorry Grim, but those signatures," he looked at the holographic map then back at Grimlock " they are near a campsite and your disguise won't exactly fit in a forest."

Grimlock looked at the ground sadly, then he lifted his head and nodded to show he understood. "If they are Cons make sure you punch them super hard for me!" He smiled

"Sure" He chuckled.

(This conversation happened while Bee and Grim were having their talk)

Windblade was waiting for Bumblebee to finish his talk with Grimlock while looking at the sky. I sneakily and gently placed my servo on her shoulder which snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked at me and smiled. "Be careful, I still need my teacher." I said worriedly.

Windblade smile faded but smiled again, but this time understandingly and nodded.

Bumblebee finished his talk with Grim and walked toward us. I removed my servo from Windblade's shoulder. "Ready?" Bee asked. She nodded "Then let's rev up and roll out."

And with that they transformed and sped of in car and plane mode out of the scrapyard.

Sideswipe and Strongarm both looked at each other and walked towards me. Sideswipe was the first to speak. "So..Windy told us that you're here to help us catch the Decepticons, right?" He raised an optic ridge.

"Uh.. I guess so," I try to say innocently as possible "If you need my help," I placed my servo over my chest "I would be hounored to assist."

"We would appreciate it." Strongarm said.

There was a slight pause. Then Sideswipe broke the silence. "Windy also told us you were a soldier in the war."

I looked down at the ground slightly before looking back up with a smile and nodding. "Yes. But I wasn't in the war for a long time since I got severely injured and put in stasis. And because I was still a neutral and no one wanted to make the decision for me to become an Autobot, which I would've gladly accepted, I got sent off world with the last evacuation group for my safety, and because I was still in stasis." I said the last part with clenched fists and surprisingly an even face.

"You up were a neutral?" Strongarm asked softly. I nodded. There was just awkward silence, until I got curious (again).

"Did you both just want to know about my past, or war stories, or.." I trailed off.

There was a brief pause before Sideswipe spoke up "Windblade told us that you're gonna help us but but you needed training, so she told us to teach you while she's away on a mission."

I smiled sweetly at both of them. "Thank you, I could use as much help as I can get."

"Ok, first off you pick a weapon. What's your weapon of choice, or which weapon are you mostly skilled with?" Strongarm asked me.

"A bow and arrow" I replied without hesitation.

"Wow, old school huh?" Sideswipe quipped.

"We need to ask Fixit to make you one." Strongarm stated.

"Is he capable of making that sort of weapon?" I was doubtful that Fixit could make it.

"Let's find out"

We walked toward the Alchemor and asked Fixit if he could make another Decepticon Hunter. Luckily, Denny recently got a shipment of Platinum and other materials to make one. So yes.

———————————————————————————

While Fixit and Denny were making my Decepticon Hunter, Sideswipe decided to tease me.

"I know how you were checking Windblade out." He teased me.

I blushed a little looking away from him, stuttering "I w-was not" I said softly.

He crossed his arms and had a smirk that said 'you-can't-hide-anything-from-me.'

After a moment I finally spoke, because I couldn't take the silence "..Maybe"

Sideswipe only laughed "You make it so obvious," he stopped laughing then he asked "can you tell me what your brother was like?"

I could only look away from Sideswipe for a moment then look back. "Well...he was...umm...like you." I said with a smile.

"Handsome?" He smirked.

I chuckled at that "That's what the Autobots thought of him at least. You two would've been good friends." A sad smile crossed over my face at the thought of two trouble makers in the scrapyard.

Meanwhile with Bee and Windy...

No One's POV

One they arrived at the coordinates they transformed and drew their weapons out. Bee then commed Fixit.

:Fixit, we're at the coordinates, any sign of the signal?:

:Yes Lieutenant, they're inside the abandoned warehouse, and I concluded that it's only one signal.:

:Don't worry we can handle that: Windblade reassured. :How's the weapon for Firefly getting along?:

:Almost finished, we just need to adjust a few wires and it should be ready for her.:

:Thank you Fixit.:

:Yeah, thanks Fixit, Bumblebee our.:

"Ok let's check out this warehouse."

Windblade nodded and followed Bee quietly into the warehouse's front entrance. They had their blade and Decepticon Hunter ready for battle, should there be one. Once they were inside Bee spotted the one Decepticon he didn't want to see. Steeljaw. He saw him since he was in front and Windblade was behind, but they both had expressions of anger written all over their faces. Steeljaw didn't notice them yet so Bee decided to end that.

"Steeljaw, what are you up to this time?" He questioned harshly.

Steeljaw turned around to face them and chuckled lightly.

"It's good to see you too Lieutenant," he 'politely' said, then he turned his gaze on Windblade "I don't believe I know your name.."

"Windblade" She stated with a not-so-friendly face and voice.

"Well it's nice to meet you. I heard you added a new Autobot to your team Bumblebee, I can't wait to meet them when the time comes." He said in sickening way.

Bumblebee sneered.

Windblade tightened the hilt on the blade she was holding and sneered. In her mind she knew she would not let anyone near Firefly who would want to hurt her. Her spark rate started to increase and almost blushed, but she kept her composure. "That's not going to happen because we're going to take you down!"

Then both of them started to run toward Steeljaw.

"Not today!" Steeljaw smirked, transformed and drove for the shelves and knocked them down on the chasing Autobot.

"Watch out!" Bumblebee cried out.

They both leapt out of the way just in time, otherwise it would've scratched their paint and crushed their bodies. Dust flew in every direction around the two bots that were momentarily unconscious. They both awoke coughing their intakes of dust out while they stood up.

"That was close," Windblade said as she dusted her body of the dust with her servos. "I wonder what he was doing here."

"I don't know, but I don't think it was good." Bee replied solemnly.

When they were outside the warehouse Fixit commed them. What good timing.

:Fixit to Bumblebee and Windblade, good fews..pews..news, Denny and I have finished Firefly's weapon. Did you find the source of the signal?:

:We did. It was Steeljaw, he's up to something and I don't think it's good. We need to be prepared if he will show up again.: Bee replied.

:By the way, thanks for building Firefly's weapon. When I come back I'll start training her.: Windblade said happily.

:Your welcome, I'll inform her right away.: He signed off.
