The next day, Eva worked on a few cars.

"That should do it Mr. Martinez. All it needed was a new wire."

"Thanks Eva, what would Jasper, Nevada do without you." The middle aged man paid Eva and drove off.

"Well that's it for today. No one called after 1 and there are no reservation so it's closing time." Eva started to close up when she heard a small horn outside her shop. She turns around to see Jack and a teen girl on a familiar blue motorcycle. "Going to see what's happening next?"

The blue motorcycle moved a little. "You got it. Grab your bike and let's go."

Eva nods and heads in the shop. She gabs her motorcycle and 3 helmets, giving one to Jack and the girl, then turns on her watch. "I'm going out Judy." The garage door started to close. See you soon Eva. They began to drive up the highway and meet up with the yellow bot. "So what's with the other girl?"

"She caught us when we were talking?" Jack had an annoyed look when he said that.

Eva nods with understanding. They got off road heading for a mountain with no tunnel. Jack was scared but Eva just kept her cool as she trusted the bots. Then a trap door opened revealing a secret bunker. "Whoa" was all Eva could think of when she got a look around. Big computers along with two other bots. One she remembers seeing but the other bot that looked like a ambulance she doesn't remember. Jack and the girl took off their helmets but Eva still had hers on.

"I thought there were three."

"Haven't you heard, human multiply."

Eva shakes her head at the bad joke. The other girl, turns out her name is Miko, questioned everything about the green bot which name's Bulkhead. Eva too had a million questions in her head but doesn't want to scare the bots with them. One question did come out when Raf started to talk.

"So if you guys are robots, who made you?"

The ambulance bot rolls his eye. "Pah-lease."

Eva made an annoyed face. She and this bot were definitely not gonna get along. Her thoughts were interrupted when heavy footsteps were behind her. She looked behind and saw the tallest bot she had seen so far. "Whoa big rig."

"We are autonomous robots organisms from the planet Cybertron, also known as Autobots."

Jack stepped forward. "Why are you here?"

"To protect your planet from the Decepticons."

The blue bot, named Arcee, stepped in. "The jokers who tried to bump us off last night."

Eva was starting to get a little nervous. "Okay, why are they here?"

The big boss knelt down to the humans. "A fair question, Eva. In part, they are here because our planet is uninhabitable. Ravage by centuries of civil war."

Raf walked next to Eva. "Why were you fighting a war?"

"Foremost, over control of our world's supply of energon, the fuel and lifeblood in both Autobot and Decepticon alike. The combat was fierce and endured for centuries. In the beginning, I fought alongside one whom I considered a brother. But in war, ideals can be corrupted. And it was thus… that Megatron lost his way."

Eva saw a hint of sadness in his eyes. He and this Megatron must have been really close before the war. Her thoughts were interrupted when Miko spoke.

"Is there gonna be a quiz?" Eva nudged her a bit. "Hey."

"So what does Megatron…or any of this have to do with us?"

"Megatron hasn't been seen nor heard from in some time. But if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." He stands up and walks to the other bots. "And since you know of our existence, as of last night, I fear that the Decepticons know of yours, especially you Eva."

Eva gave a nervous. "Sorry, I got carried away. All I could think of is protecting my brother and Raphael. But you have to admit, one human wins a beat down over a…Decepticon?" Arcee nods. "Yeah that, it's kind of awesome."

Jack puts a hand on Eva's shoulder. "Eva, I don't think we should do this. I think we all should just go."

Miko got mad at that sentence. "Are you insane? I'm living a dream here in bot-swana. And I'm not gonna allow you or anyone us to shatter it."

"It is best that you four remain under our watch… at least until we tell our enemies' intentions."

The ambulance walks up to him. "Optimus, with all due respect, the human children are in as much danger here as any where."

Eva made small glare. "Excuse me, I'm a legal adult. I have a driver's license to prove it."

"They have no protective shell. If they go underfoot they will go… squish." He stomps startling the humans.

"Then for the time being Ratchet, we must Watch where we step." Eva smirks at Optimus. Now there's a bot she can relate to.

A alarm began to sound off and everyone looks to the screens. Jack panics a little. "What's that?"

Bee turns around. "Our roof proximity sensor has been activated."

Raf explains to Jack and Miko. "Proximity sensor. Someone is up top."

The video shows a helicopter landing on the roof with a middle-aged black man heading for the elevator. "It's agent Fowler."

Eva was startled a bit. She heard that last name before. "I thought we were the only humans who knew about you guys."

"Special Agent Fowler is our designated liaison to the outside world. As he tend to visit when there are… issues. It may be best if you do not meet him at this time." Eva and others hid underneath the stairs.

The elevator reaches to the bottom and Agent Fowler walks in all mad. "7 wrecks, 34 fender benders, a 3-hour traffic jam, and a particular note numerous reports of two motorcycles of unknown make, a black and yellow custom muscle car. Anything you care to get off your tin chest, Prime?"

Optimus quickly glances at Eva who covers her mouth after seeing Agent Fowler. "We have the situation under control Agent Fowler."

"They're back, aren't they?"

"If you are referring to the Decepticons, I have doubts they ever left. Your planet is much too valuable."

"What about the other, motorcycle? Now I know one of them is Arcee, but what do you make of the other one. Do the cons have a two-wheeler on their side now or do we have another bot on our side?"

"It's difficult to explain agent Fowler. This rogue cybertronian can be anything." Eva made a smirk. Who knew that the ultimate leader was not so perfect after?

"If this is getting out of hand, then it's time to wake up the pentagon."

"Hear me, Agent Fowler, we are your best, possibly your only defense against the Decepticon threat."

"Says you."

Bulk stood up for Optimus. "Hey fleshy. Did anyone get splattered on that freeway? Team Prime knows when to use force." He rips off some sort of device from Ratchet's lab counter. "And how much to use." He squeezes the device until the head of it pops off.

Ratchet got angry at that. "Bulkhead, I needed that!"

"Enough!" Everyone looks at Optimus. "Military involvement will only result in catastrophe. Perhaps you can condone widespread human casualties Agent Fowler. I, however, cannot."

"Then do us both a favor and handle it, Prime, under the radar." He walks over to the elevator and steps inside. "Or I will." The doors to the elevator closed.

Eva and the others came out from their hiding place. Bulkhead walk toward Optimus. "Pretty big bearings, for a human."

"Agent Fowler is concerned for this world, Bulkhead, as he should be."

Eva was trying to keep her cool around everyone. She now remembers where she met Agent William Fowler.

Flashback

Eva and her dad were riding in their motorcycles around Nevada for her 18th birth-week. They decide to take a break at an inn for the night. While they were checking for bed bugs, a large knock on the door scared them.

"This the police! Henry Dawson! You step outside the room with your hands in the air…" Her dad opened the door. "…To give your best friend a big man hug."

"Will! It's been forever!" They hug and Eva was confused. "How's the wife?"

"We split up for the life in the marine. What about you and your second wife?"

"Same here. I couldn't get over my first and June found out. Now my ex and my son completely hate me." He heard a throat being cleared and looked at his daughter. "Oh right. Will, remember my little baby I showed you almost 2 decades ago. Well this is her right here on her 18th birth week."

"This is Evangeline? My how they get so big so fast." He hold out his hand to her. "Hello young lady, my name is William Fowler, but since you're the daughter of my best friend, you may call me Uncle Will."

Eva smiles and shakes it. "You can call me Eva."

End of flashback

Eva began trying to scratch her head but the helmet was still on her head. She really didn't want to take it off, especially the condition she is in right now.

"Eva, are you okay?" Eva turned around seeing Arcee looking at her.

"Yeah my head is just a little itchy."

"I may not know much about humans, but I know that you can't scratch your head with a helmet on your head. Just take off your helmet."

Eva grasped on her helmet. "NO!" Everyone stopped and stared at her. "I'm sorry but I can't show you my hair right now. I… I don't wanna scare you."

Arcee kneeled at her. "Eva, it's just helmet hair. We won't judge you."

Eva looks around seeing all eyes on her. "You guys might as well find out sooner or later." Eva takes off her helmet and lets down her once black hair and is now a shade of light purple.

Everyone was shocked at this. Jack ran to comfort her. "Eva, what's wrong? Your hair only turns light purple whenever you feel scared or stressed."

"That man, Agent Fowler, I remember him. He was dad's best friend since high school. And he still is. Jack if he were to find out we were here, he might tell dad about this."

Optimus knelt down to her. "I highly doubt it, Eva. We are a secret to be kept from the world."

"You don't understand. My dad is in the military. If Fowler finds out, so does he." She instantly covers her mouth the moment she realizes what she said.

"Wait, what? I thought after dad left, he became a musician." Eva turned away from him. "He lied, and you knew about it? Why?"

"It's suppose to remain a secret. I found out when dad was leaving. An old enemy of his found out where he is and the best way to keep us safe is to leave us."

Jack was mad about this and climbed to the computers without looking at his sister.

Eva's hair turns into a shade of blue as she lets out a small tear. A metal finger touched her face. She looked up to see Optimus. "Everything is gonna be okay. Between you and Jack also between you two and Agent Fowler." Eva smiles a bit.

Arcee walks towards them. "I know this is probably a bad time, but I can't get it off my chest. Back at the fast-food place, Jack said that you made your bike. Did you really make that thing?"

They all look at her motorcycle. Eva smiles with pride. "Yeah with my own two hands, and with some help from my dad." She whistles loudly and the motorcycle comes to her. "This baby won the blue ribbon in the high school science fair and a full scholarship to Western Nevada College."

The mood was changed when they heard Ratchet complaining. "Blasted earth tech. Cliffjumper's life signal just popped back online."

Eva climbs the ladder as Miko starts to talk. "Who's Cliffjumper?"

"How is that possible?"

"It isn't. Another bug… the system chock-full of them."

"If there's any chance Cliff's alive." Arcee had a bit of hope in her voice.

"Ratchet, prepare sick bay. We may need it." Optimus then puts on his mask.

Miko then got curious. "Hey, what can we do?"

"Remain with Ratchet." Both Miko and Ratchet moaned in disappointment. Ratchet activated some sort portal. "Autobots, roll out!" They transformed into their vehicle mode and drove into it disappearing into it.

"Cool catchphrase."

"What just happened?"

"I transported then to the coordinates via the ground-bridge."

Raf got curious at this. "What's a ground-bridge?"

Ratchet his eyes. "A scale down version of space-bridge technology. Since we don't currently have the means or the energon required for intergalactic travel…"

"You're stuck here on earth." Jack starts to feel sorry for them.

"With the likes of you yes. But I constructed the ground-bridge to enable travel anywhere from here to anywhere on your planet."

Eva train of thought rolls away. Then she hears the most creepiest voice down the hall. "Evangeline, Evangeline" For a moment, she thought someone was calling her name. Then a small blue light appeared around the corner. Her hair turns into a shade of orange. She looks at Ratchet and the others still bickering at each other then quietly walked down the stairs following the light. "Evangeline."

The small light flew down to her face. "Um, hello. Who are you and how do you know my name?" The small light said nothing and then flew down the hall still calling her. "Oh you want me to follow?" She looks at the others then continues to follow the strange thing.

They continue down the hall until they stop at a closed room. The light called her and went through the side of the door. "What the what?" Eva puts her hand on the wall but went right through. "Whoa, an invisible door. Now I've seen everything." She went through and saw what looked like an old laboratory. There were lots of dust everywhere and old giant equipment. The blue light flew to her then flew up along side a ladder. Eva took that as a sign to climb up the ladder. "What is this place?" The blue light flew to a screen and landed on a table. It turned out to be some kind drone.

The screen turned on and young robot that looked like Arcee but with different colors and a few distinctive features. "Hello Evangeline, my name is Flame-shot. You might recognize that name as your mother's motorcycle, well that is me, I am your mother's motorcycle; in fact, I am your mother." Eva's hair turned completely white. She couldn't believe what she is hearing. "If you are watching this, it means that I'm dead. It also means that the Autobots have found. I have programed this computer to help you if you have any questions about what is happening to you. Listen to me, my daughter, only you can control your own destiny. Only you can decide who you want to be. Don't let the anyone, especially Optimus and your father, tell you what you are meant to do. You should know there is a power inside you that can be deadly but it can also bring light to those who use it with love. Don't let fear stand in your way, let your heart Guide you. Goodbye and good luck." The screen shuts off leaving Eva with tears in her eyes.

"I knew that my bio mother wasn't June and my bio mother was different from other people, but I never knew that she was an alien from outer space. My life gets weirder every day." Her thoughts were interrupted with the sound of an explosion. "Oh no. The others, I better get over there." Then she remembered her hair. "I am cool. I am calm. I am collected." Once her hair was back into its original black color, she left the room to join the others at the command center.

She sees Arcee walking into some kind of device while Optimus was talking to the teens. "Earth customs, I haven't considered. But the issue of your safety remains."

Eva walks up the stairs as they talked. Ratchet caught her before she could go far. "And where have you been?" His eyes still on the screen.

Eva made her cool face and leaned on the stair bar. "You got boring, so I decided to look around the place while you complained to the others."

Ratchet groaned at this. "Oh great, another one."

Eva was about to question what he meant when Optimus called. "Ratchet?"

"Busy." That was when Arcee got out off the container.

"Arcee, you will accompany Jack."

Arcee makes a fake complaint. "Oh still dizzy."

"You're fine, says you physician." Arcee groaned at this. Eva tries to hide her smile.

"Eva." She turns to Optimus. "I will accompany you."

"Sounds great. My protector matches by bike." Eva walks down, to her motorcycle then puts on her helmet "Let's ride." The motor starts and Optimus transforms and follows her.

Eva and Optimus stop right in front of the shop. "Here we are. My home sweet home. What do you think Big Rig?" Optimus say nothing for a while. "Uh…Optimus?"

"Eva, are you sure this is where you live?"

"Yeah, the old man gave it to me as a graduation gift from Western Nevada University. Ever since then I've had a lot of customers than I can count. Everyone just loves my work, well that or my figure. But hey, if they try to touch I'll break their sense of touch. I'll tell you everything tomorrow." She turned on her watch. "Judy, I'm home." Welcome back Eva. The garage door began to open for her to go in. "Thanks again for letting me and the others into your lives. I know it must be hard for some of you."

"We Autobots have known so much back on our planet Cybertron, but there was one thing on this planet that taught us something even more important… family. I am too glad you and the children are joining our family."

Eva smiled put her hand on his door. "Good night big rig." She begins to push her bike toward the garage.

"Good night Eva." He begins to drive away as the garage door closes all the way.

Eva puts her bike away and then heads for her room. Her phone begins to ring and she saw the title Jack. He wants to talk about what happened today. She takes a deep breath and answers the call. "Hi Jack look I'm sorry that…"

Jack interrupts her quickly. "It's ok but right now I have to say I'm sorry, and that I didn't mean to."

"What are you talking… hold on someone is on the other line." She switches it to another. "Hello?"

"Evangeline Rose Darby, why would you buy your brother an expensive motorcycle and not tell me about it?"

Eva was confused a bit but then realized that Arcee must have been exposed in her vehicle mode. "Mom, I can explain…"

"Eva, I worry when you are riding a motorcycle, but now I have to worry about Jack too."

"Mom, he's sixteen. Every time I pick him up from his work, he gets embarrassed in front of the girls. His words not mine. Then one day, I notice looking at a certain blue motorcycle and you know how I can read faces and it said I had to have her. So I worked twice as hard and I bought her for Jack's birthday. But he came to work, saw it and ruined the surprise. So I decided to give it to him 3 weeks early." June was silent for a bit. "And hey, at least he already has a helmet."

June sighs. "Tell him it was a family budget and I completely forgot about it."

"Deal. Good night mom."

"Good night."

Eva then switched to Jack's line. "Wow, that was intense."

"I owe you big time ."

"How about you forgive me about what happened earlier and I'll forgive you of what just happened now." Jack was silent for a bit. "Sorry I know it was a long shot…"

"No it's okay. Arcee and I talked about it before mom got home and she convinced me to forgive you. So yeah, I forgive you."

"And I forgive you. Also, mom told me to tell you that it was a 'family budget' and she forgot about it. So if she asks, give a hug for thanks."

"Got it. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Eva hangs up and lies down on her bed with a sigh. "Well that's one worry off my back." She looks to her lamp stand and sees a picture of her and her dad one arm hugging and making peace signs. "And one more to fix." She then falls a sleep with her clothes still on.

Now that you've read this chapter, you all know Eva's condition. Her hair can change into different colors. In case you didn't get the colors that you saw.

Light purple – Fear or stress
Blue not light nor dark – sad
orange – confused or curious
white – shocked
black – calm and cool

Why does her hair change color? You will find out soon enough.
