Eva washes up after her job then hears a ringing. She thought it was her phone but it wasn't it. Then she looks at her Autobot symbol that she turned into a belt and found the source. "Hello?"

"Eva I won't be able to pick you up today, something happened at base. With the Autobot signal, you should be able to drive in alone."

"Good to know, see you there." She turns off her com and continues to pack.

"DARBY!"

Eva groans as she knew who that was. "Hello Jacob, is it that time of the month, already?" She turns around to see a dark-skinned man with tattoos on his arms and piercing in his eyebrow. Also around him were four other men.

"You know the drill, I challenge you and once I defeat you, I will finally gain respect out of these men." 'And then I gloat about to everyone in the neighborhood.'

Eva makes an odd look on her face then back to serious. "Oh Jacob, I've been kicking your butt since grade school. All I want is to be left alone, that's all I ask."

"No more stalling Darby, let's fight." Jacob and Eva began to walk around in a circle.

Jack and Arcee were about to leave for the highway when Jack saw the action. "Oh man, not again."

"What is it, Jack?"

"It's Jacob Ascot. He wants to be the tough guy in Jasper."

"But that position is already taken by someone we know." They both laugh.

"And he is challenging her right now… you wanna watch?"

"Jack, rule #1 is no using power for personal gain… but this is my only chance to see humans fighting. Let's go." Arcee drives to the shop.

Jacob and Eva continue circling for a minute when Jacob launches at her. "You're going to get it, Darby." 'left punch' Eva dodges and lets his weight be his enemy.

'What the what is going on?' Something was wrong with Eva but she didn't know what it was.

Jacob then charges at her again. 'Right kick' Eva continues to play with him and makes her first punch in his arm. "Ow… grrr why you little…" 'You are going to die.' He takes out his knife.

"Hey, that's not fair." He runs at her but she elbows him and takes his knife away from him. "I told you it wasn't fair." She puts the knife in her pocket. "Now, who's the best?"

Jacob groans as he stands up again. "You are." 'This isn't over, Darby. Not by a long shot.' He and his crew walk away in shame.

"And don't you forget it." Eva then sees her brother and his partner. "Hey Jackie Chan. I thought you'd be at the base by now."

"Wanted to watch you kick butt, that doesn't involve any cons or MECH."

"Aww that's so sweet. I'll get ready and we'll drive together." Eva ran back into her shop and lifted her seat to reveal a secret space for stuff. She puts in an unopened package while rolling her eyes as she closes the hatch.

When the Arcee and the sibling arrive at the base, she transforms and walks to Eva. "I have to say, when you bring the pain, it's a little too much. Even if it was only for humiliation."

"Hey, Jacob has it coming every month. He's not the only one out for me, but I always triumph in the end." Eva starts to climb up the ladder. "So where's my partner? I need to have a word with him."

Ratchet looks up from his computer. "He's waiting for you in the lab." Eva starts to walk away. 'And boy you are going to be surprised.' Eva stops and stares at him for a sec before running to the lab.

Eva enter the lab and widens her eyes. "Optimus… is that…" She climbs up the ladder and sees a glowing light blue flower planted in a metal pot in a glass ceiled case. "An Enerchid."

Optimus smiles. "Yeah, the last of it's kind. It belonged to your mother and I think she would want you to have it."

Eva walks over to it and sees the pedals look like flowing circuit board. "It's beautiful, a real-live flower from Cybertron. What does it smell like?"

"Like fresh energon from a flowing river." 'I wish I could take you there.'

"Life and time have strange turns, maybe we can go there some time."

"Huh?" Optimus shows an odd look.

Eva felt her hair stand on end. "Oops, I did it again." She turns to her partner. "I think I have grown a new power. …the power to read minds. It's kind of freaking me out."

Optimus looks at her with wondering eyes. "Are you sure you are freaked out?"

"Well yeah, you would too if everyone was talking with their mouth closed. Why?"

"Eva… your hair isn't light purple. Your hair is light purple when you freak out."

She checks her hair and widens her eyes. "Now that you mention it, it didn't turn light green from when I was fighting this morning, or light blue when I saw my brother. What's wrong with me?"

"I think after you took in that radiation, it affected your CNA."

"My wha?"

"It's kind of like what you humans call deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) only our is called Cybernucleic Acid."

"Aka CNA. How do you guys know I have that stuff?"

"Only CNA can handle the heart of Cybertron, so later on, we will do a few tests on you."

Eva chuckles at that. "Good luck, my skin is impenetrable to all needles. I can't even get a hair cut with scissors because they breaks when snapped. How will you even get CNA out of me?"

"Even your mother gets a check up. Ratchet knows what to do." Optimus holds out his hand. "Let's go see what the others are doing." Eva nods and jumps on his hand. "By the way, what this about a fight this morning?" He puts her on his shoulder.

"Eh, some guy always come to me once a month to challenge me and I kick his butt… every time… for over 10 years. Jacob can never catch a break. But I felt like I was cheating this time since I was reading his mind."

"Your mom's powers always come in random times. Usually when emotion levels rise, your mind powers must have struck when you felt discussed of Jacob."

"Yeah… oh before we enter the room, guess what?" Optimus stops. "I talked to my dad yesterday."

"That's great to here. Did you forgive him?"

"Not yet, but I'm getting there. But I found out what my Cybertronian name is, promise you won't tell anybody, especially the kids." Optimus nods. Eva looks around making sure nobody was around and leans into his audio scepter. "Starfire."

"Aw that's a beautiful name. Why not tell the others?"

"Because there is already a Starfire in this world, well a cartoon Starfire. They would laugh at me if they heard my other name is Starfire."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. Your mother probably didn't know that the name was in a comic book."

"That's the thing, dad told me she did. A princess from another planet with extra ordinary powers. Now that I think about it, it's the perfect name, but I can't tell them that."

"No worries, I won't tell anybody." Eva nods as they enter the room. She sees Miko talking to Bulkhead and she jumps off Optimus. "Whoop." He grabs her and set her to the ground. "Remember, casualties."

Eva smiles and rolls her eyes. She runs to her bike and gets out the package. "Hey Miko. I just got a package from Nakadia Inc. Please tell me this isn't what I think it is?"

"Yes! You got it!" Miko grabs it but sees it isn't open. "You didn't open it."

"Yes, because I had an odd feeling of what it might be."

Jack and Raf lean on the rails. "What did Miko do?"

"She made me a costume."

The boys started to laugh. "You mean that day when you and Miko were 'designing outfits' last week, she made a real costume out of it?"

"Apparently so." Eva gives the package to Miko. "I'm not wearing it, Miko."

Miko pushes it back in her arm. "Come on, at least try it on. You'll look great." Eva looks at the package then back at Miko. 'I really hope she wears it, it took a lot of work from my parents company to make it for her.'

Eva felt guilt on her face. So she sighs and opens the package. "Fine, but only this once."

"Yes. Oh gotta go, Bulkhead is taking me to Greece." She runs to Bulkhead and they drive into the ground bridge. Eva rolls her eyes as she run off to put on the costume. She looks at the costume in the box and smiles at it.

About a half an hour, Miko and Bulkhead come in with information. "Where's Eva, How did the costume fit?"

They hear foot steps coming down the hall and everyone looks in that direction. A pair of blue almost knee high boots step into the light, then a short sleeveless red dress was shown with her Autobot belt-buckle and then black arm guards shown on her arms. Eva had no mask on but had a gold hair band in her hair. Everyone's jaws were dropped and/or eyes were widened. "Well, how does it look?"

"You look great, Eva." Miko runs to her and hugs her. "You really look like a real superhero."

"Really think so? It does feel comfortable."

Raf walks up to her. "You look really nice Eva. Like Wonderwoman and Supergirl mixed together."

Jack walks up to her. "The only time I see you in a dress is when you are sneaking out on dates."

"Exactly why I made it into a dress. Eva does better sneaking around when she's in a dress."

Jack takes a better look at her. "Are you wearing… pantyhose?"

"Yeah, I never told anybody this, but I love dark pantyhose because they make my legs look more darker." She looks up at the bots and twirls for fun. "So, what do you think?"

Each bot was confused Eva takes a look inside. 'What do I say? I don't know anything about human fashion.' 'She always looked good in red and blue, do I say that?' 'I'm still not talking to her.' 'You can hear what I'm saying, can you Eva?' Eva shakes her head and looks at Ratchet.

"Eva, that was not nice to peek into our minds."

"Huh?!" Everyone looks at her.

Eva scratches her head. "I'm sorry, it just happened this morning."

"How did you find out, Ratchet?"

Eva looks at Bulkhead. "It's okay that you don't know human fashion, Arcee I thank you for liking my colors, and enough said Bumblebee."

"Whoa, she really can read minds." Bulkhead gets worried. 'I hope she doesn't peek in all the time.'

"I'm trying to control it Bulkhead, until then just try to keep distance if you have nothing nice to think about."

Optimus cuts in before things got out of hand. "Bulkhead did you find anything during your scouting mission?"

"Oh right." Miko runs up the stairs taking out her phone. "We found something alright, a picture of something called an Energon harvester."

A few minutes later, Miko's picture was on the main screen and the harvester was circled. "It is indeed an energon harvester. A powerful tool created by the ancients to remove raw energon from any source."

Raf was confused. "Greek Gods knew Autobots?"

"Or… were the Greek Gods Autobots… in disguise." Eva chuckles as she makes it to the top. Everyone looks at her. "What? If aliens and zombies exist, don't you think there are other things out there?"

Jack puts his hand on his forehead and shakes it. "I forgot my sister was a superstitious person."

"Well that is a possibility, the ancients must have used the art of a given era to conceal messages. This fresco was likely a signpost indicating a harvester's location hidden somewhere on this planet."

"You have no imagination." Eva then worries a bit. "But if this device can actually remove energon for anything… and you all have energon pumping inside you…"

"In Decepticon hands, the harvester would be a devastating weapon."

Eva was so worried, she even realized that she was clutching on the rails so hard that it was crashing in. 'Oops.'

Miko tries to cheer up Bulkhead. "See? You were a genius to total that painting."

"Miko's not wrong. How can the 'cons find the harvester without the fresco?"

Eva taps her watch. "Search for Greek God golden orb." A hollow gram screen show up and searches the internet. Everyone again was surprised at her. "I may have been tampering with some of the technology that was here." A result showed up. "Aha got something. This is in a museum with the same god and a familiar orb." She taps the picture and it enlarges. "Is this the real thing?"

Optimus only said one thing. "Call Agent Fowler."

After trying for 3 minutes, they still couldn't contact him still going straight to voicemail. Even Eva tried his personal number and still nothing. "Sorry, no answer."

"Without Agent Fowler's direct aid, we will have to confiscate the harvester on our own."

"Yes, finally I can beat up some cons."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Confiscate, as in steal museum property?"

"I know it sounds… illegal, but that never stopped me before. Jack, we have to retrieve it before the cons find out and they will do whatever it takes to get it, even take innocent lives."

"But how are they gonna get without getting caught? Museums are public, and they have guards and security cameras."

"No problem." Miko buts in. "We're small enough to sneak in, and we are not a government secret."

Bulkhead starts to get worried. "Miko, I'm not sure that's wise."

"But it may be our best option, Bulkhead. The longer we debate, the more time we give the Decepticons."

"I'll get into my normal clothes."

Miko grabs her. "Come on, this might be our only chance to test out the costume. It can withstand fire and sharp objects."

"You're not giving me any option, are you?"

"Nope."

"And Eva." She looks at Optimus. "I don't think you should use your powers on this mission."

"Oh, come on Optimus. I want to help."

"You will, by helping the children on retrieving the harvester. You have… more experience in breaking into places."

Eva rolls her eyes. "Fine, but I will need my gear."

After an hour, the Autobots were getting into position around the museum. Miko was excited, she can finally join a mission, with permission. "Autobots, confirm positions."

"Westward ho."

"Good on the east."

"Southside covered."

"Maintain your guard. Eva, Jack, Miko, Rafael., I will have a clear view of you. Once you secure the harvester, contact Ratchet to bridge you to base."

"I got it." Eva was mad that Optimus made her on retrieval instead with him.

Ratchet activates the bridge. "Now, since you'll bypass all points of normal entry, you won't need to worry about setting off the alarms, but take care to avoid any security guards."

The humans enter the museum on a moving platform looking for the orb until they found it. "Target sighted." They look at Optimus and he gives the signal that it is cleared. Eva uses her spy gear her dad gave her last year and uses the grabbling hook. Miko gives her the phone and Eva uses it to mimic the picture on the camera. She gives a hand signal and the kids head for the harvester. As Eva descends to the ground, she sees a bright light driving next to Optimus. It reveals to be a red European style sports car. She heard of a red Autobot, but he was dead. So who was this guy? All of a sudden, another car shows up and shoots a missile at the museum. But Optimus grabs it to stop it, but it makes a crack in the window. "Oh man, that's not good."

Then out of no where the red con hits Optimus a Taser like staff.

"It's cons."

"They got Optimus!"

Eva was now looking at the kids. What was she gonna do now? She taps her belt. "Autobots, we're under attack at the front. Engage!" Just as she says that, the big car charges at them. "Oh no. I have to do something, but what? What can I…" She didn't notice, but her hair started to glow and then all of a sudden, she ends up 30 feet in front of the con. "Whoa!" She didn't anything and punches at the car and he ends up flipping over her.

He transforms and looks mad. "You will pay for that fleshy."

"You must be Breakdown, allow me to break you down." She activates her fire power and runs at him. Then the gang show to join the party. "What took you so long?"

"We need to talk about proto calls Eva, that is how we do things." Arcee then was hit with a missile.

"And you need to have eyes in the back of your head."

"DUCK!" Eva ducks and sees Bulkhead flying over her head and he hits the red con which breaks a column and breaks through the window causing the alarm to go off.

She runs to Optimus lying ton the ground. "Optimus, are you okay?"

"Major head ache, but okay." Eva sighs in relief.

'Whoa who is that red hot gadget?'

Eva looks up and stares at the red bot. "Who are you looking at, con?" She throws a fire ball at him and he back away. "Remind me to never look into a con's mind again."

Optimus gets up and nods. "Looks like you can handle some of your powers. Ready to kick some aft?"

Eva widens her eyes then shows her battle face and nods. After a few minutes, the cons nods at each other and bolt off. Arcee charges off after them but the other stop after hearing the kids.

"The cons have the harvester."

"And security has Miko."

"What, why didn't I see that?" Eva shakes her head.

"I'll go get her."

"Bulkhead, Eva, Miko may be contained but she is safe from harm. We must round up at base to discuss what is going to happen next."

As they return, Eva runs up the ladder. "Eva." She rolls her eyes as knew this was coming. She looks at Arcee. "You can't just command us like that. We only follow Optimus's orders."

"Oh, I thought since he and I our partners, you guys can listen what I say… just kidding. But still, Optimus needed help and I think I made it clear that he was in trouble."

Optimus walks up to her. "I trust Eva with my life. For now on, Eva is my second in command." Eva widens her eyes.

"Whoa, seriously? That's so cool, yet so scary. Are you sure that is okay?"

"Like I said Eva. I trust you with my life." Eva smiles but then feels sad as she hears the hurtful thoughts around her. 'Don't worry, that will pass.' Eva looks up at Optimus again and nods.

As Optimus sends the bots to different places to scout, Eva sits down on the couch messing with her hair. First her hair stops showing her emotions, but now her 5 minutes visions stopped and now Miko is stuck at the museum security. "What am I gonna do? What will disappear next, my fire power? My telekinesis? My limb enhancers?" She stops freaking out for a sec. "Actually I can live without those. It's kind of freaky." She hears Bulkhead sulking again and sees a device near him. Using her limb enhancers, she grabbed the device before Bulkhead could smash it. "But they do come in handy."

"Come on, Eva. I needed Ratchet to say 'I needed that'. It makes me calmer."

"There's no need for violence Bulkhead. Ratchet has a plan to help Miko." Eva uses her limb enhancers to give Ratchet the device.

"That still creeps me out, but thank you Eva. With my frame wielder, I'll be able to make the replica a lot fast."

Bulkhead was still sulking. "I shouldn't have taken Miko to that… the painting wasn't the only we found in those ruins." Eva stood up from the couch. "Starscream's not dumb. No matter what kind of tool he has, he's gonna takes the easy route."

"OF course. I'll call Optimus."

"No time, we have to move now before Starscream gets any ideas."

"Okay, but take Eva."

Eva stares at Ratchet. "Me? But what if my power get all wonky again."

"As I recall, you didn't any powers to take down before." Ratchet gives her the pack she usually carries around. "These were your original power, brain over bran as the humans would say." Eva takes the pack and smiles. "Oh, and I believe you need this, I fully charged it." He gives the hoover board to her.

Eva nods. She looks at the boys. "If I die, you should my parents gave me a cybertronian name. they named after the alien princess from the comics."

Jack chuckles. "You mean, Starfire?"

"Yes, and I think it's a lovely name and my mother chose it." She jumps to Bulkhead's shoulder. "Ready when you are."

Bulkhead nods and they went into the bridge. The first thing they see is Starscream taking all the energon from a fellow Decepticon. "That is just sick."

"Tell me about it. We better grab it before he takes another life." Eva gets on her board as Bulkhead runs ahead.

Bulkhead accidentally steps on some pottery alerting the two vehicons. "Oh scrap."

"Here we go again."

"Back for seconds." Breakdown activates his harm while the other one gets out the Taser staff.

"You get Breakdown, I've got the other one." Eva rides to him with her brass knuckles in her hands. She leaps from her board and punches his face.

'Oh Primus that really hurts.' "You better not have scratched my paint." He begins to fight her. She get out her tanto and fights back. 'Oh great, it gets harder every time I see her.' Eva tries to block out his thoughts. 'Come on, Knockout, focus. She may be your zing, but she's also an Autobot.'

Eva stops. "Your name is Knockout?"

He stops too and backs up. "You really are the heart of Cybertron."

If Eva still had her hair colors, it would be white. 'Oh scrap, this con knows too much.' Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the harvester activated again. "Wha…" She sees her friend fallen to the ground. "Bulkhead!" She runs in between the crossfire.

Starscream laughs. "Stupid humans will do anything to protect their friends." All of a sudden, Eva started to glow green again. "Huh, what is going on?!" A green flash had all Decepticons fly back and the green flash revealed Eva with a strange looking staff. It was glowing green like her hair with a crescent moon topper and green whitish glow in the middle of the crescent. "Flameshot's staff? How is that possible?"

Eva looks at her new weapon. "Whoa, so cool."

Starscream gets mad. "Get her!"

Decepticons start shooting at her but using her staff, she was able to fight them and her fire powers were able to flow through it. "This… is…awesome!"

The rest of the gang show up again ready for battle but then they stop to watch the show. Arcee was the first to talk. "Is that what I think it is?"

Optimus just stares at it. "Flameshot's war staff, she summoned it."

Eva notices her team staring at her. "Come on you guys, not even I can handle these guys alone." They snap out of it and help out. Eva notices Knockout glancing at her before he drives away. She lets the team drive Starscream away. Eva runs to Bulkhead. "You okay, Bulkhead?"

"Yeah, thanks to you. Thank you… Starfire." He wink and Eva laughs.

As everyone enter the bridge, a red con was hiding, spying on them. "Starfire, what a beautiful name."

Bulkhead heads off to get Miko from the museum, while Ratchet looks at the staff. "Amazing, I knew you would summon the weapon one day, but your mother summoned it after almost 100 earth years."

Eva walks up to him. "What does that mean?"

Ratchet gives the staff back to her. "It means you are more advanced than her or those before her."

The staff disappears from her hands. "This is so unexpecting. I was trying to be more like her, not to out stage her."

Optimus stands next to her. "You don't have to be her, you can be you. Eva, it's not who want to be, it's what you want to be."

Bulkhead enters in from the ground bridge. "And what you are is a hero." He walks up to her. "For now on, you have my trust and support for you being second in command."

Eva smiles but then the mood changed big time. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

"Oh Frag." Everyone laughs at that. Miko runs up to her. "Yes Miko, I'm second in command." Miko was about to say something. "No, I won't abuse my power. No, you can't make me abuse my power." Miko was about to talk. "And no, you cannot make Bulkhead go dun bashing tonight because he has to rest."

"Stop reading my mind!" Eva smiles as she walks away.

"Oh Optimus, I need to talk to you about something."

"Um, as our second in command, you can say whatever you want to all of us."

Eva smirks. "Okay, do any of you want to tell me the cybertronian version of romantic embrace?"

All the bots widen their eyes in horror. Optimus immediately grabs her around the waist. "I'll take it from everyone. Ratchet, you wanna come along?"

"I am a doctor, I should probably join you." Eva chuckles and waves goodbye to the team.

After they left the room, Jack was the first to burst into laughter and Miko and Raf joined him. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry, but that was the same face my mother made when I was little and I asked her where babies come from." He continues to laugh along with the other kids.

Bee just huffs as he looks to where the trio left.

Optimus puts her down on the lab counter. "Is that what you were gonna ask us, or were just making fun of them?"

"Sort of both. I was fight with Knockout and I accidentally read his mind… again. but when I did, it was… odd. Nothing evil, but it kind of sounded liked he cared for me."

Ratchet walks up to her. "Decepticons will do anything to cloud your mind."

"Not like this, he called me a… what it… ping…sing…"

Ratchet and Optimus widen their eyes. "Zing? Is that were you gonna say?" Eva nods. "Oh man, that's not good."

"Hey, that's my catchphrase."

"A zing is almost like love at first sight. Once you have a zing, as the human say, it's death to you part."

Eva hair turns white. "Hey my color is back and WHAT?! Me and a Decepticon?! I mean sure, I love bad boys, I love sports cars, and my favorite is red, but really… Knockout? How come I don't feel the zing?"

Optimus calms her down. "My true love was Zinged to me and it took a while for me to love back. Your mother Zinged to your father and it took them a while to be together too. Either this will pass, or it gets bigger. My advice is to stay away from him during battle."

"Noted… but now that the question has popped in my head, what is the definition to romantic embrace to cybertronians?"

Ratchet groans.

Well that's the chapter. I hooked her up with Knockout, what do you think?
