I don't own transformers, only my character!


Attack

I start awake when I hear a sound, and quickly glance at the clock. "Two in the morning. Joy." I grab my robe and start toward the bathroom when I hear an alarm. "That can't be good." I stick my head out in the hall to see several people run past. "Definitely not good." I sigh. "But, I have to see what's going on in here before I can investigate the alarm." I knock on the door. "You okay in there?"

A miserable voice answers back. "I will be."

"You need anything?"

"Not at the moment."

"I'm going down the hall to see what that alarm was. Try to get some rest. If you're still not feeling well when I get back, I've got something for you." I sigh before tying my robe tighter and leaving the room.


SHATTERDOME

"Mako? What's going on?"

"Kaiju. Category three."

I sigh. "Oh, joy."

"Where's Graham?"

I turn to Charlie. "Alarms woke you too?"

He nods. "Dani stayed in the room with Cody."

"I wish I was going with them."

I have to force myself to not slap Kade. "No you don't." I sigh before turning back to Charlie. "He wasn't feeling well."

"He hasn't been for a couple weeks now, but he won't tell me what's going on." He sighs. "Boulder said he had agreed to be the test subject for one of your Cybertronian experiments. Are you sure nothing went wrong?"

"I'm sure. Doc and I are working on it, Charlie. I've been doing everything I can. After all, I trained with Ratchet."

"I know." He sighs.

"We'll clue you in as soon as we know something." I lay my hand on his shoulder. "He's gonna be okay. Trust me."

"Thanks."

I turn toward my room. "Since I'm not on a jaeger team yet, and I'm not here to be anything but a medic for the jaeger teens, I'll get back to bed until they need me for something."


SUITES

"Graham? I'm back. Where are you?"

He leans out the now-open door to the bathroom. "What was the alarm?"

I sigh softly. "Category three kaiju in the Breach. Gips and Striker got sent out. Kade wanted to go with. Dani, Blades, and I will be able to handle any injuries." I sigh at his look. "I'll use my avatar form against the Kaiju Blue. Blades can help the jaeger teens otherwise, and Dani can help the humans if anyone gets hurt." I sigh. "But those rangers are good at what they do. I'll work on Ratchet once I've had more sleep and you're feeling better." I walk over to him before kneeling. "Your dad said you'd been feeling like this for a few weeks." I pull out a bottle I had found hidden with some quite helpful medical tools in Ratchet's frame—deep enough so no one could find it—before taking out a tablet and handing it to him. "Ratchet used to give this to carriers when he was training me. It should help with the nausea."

"Thanks."

I nod before helping him up and to his bed. "Just try to get some rest. I'm going to try and get a little more sleep before I have to get to work." I sigh. "But let me know if you need me for anything. I'm here for you."

"Okay."

I cover him up before climbing back into my own bed. 'I hate mornings with a passion.'


SIX HOURS LATER

I climb out of bed and get dressed before walking out to the main part of the suite to find Graham working on something at the table, using a laptop. "Looks like you're feeling better."

"That pill you gave me did the trick."

I smile. "Good." I walk over before laying a hand on his shoulder. "Whatcha workin' on?"

"My Gremskey Tech homework." I look down at him, confused. "I can still take my classes using Cody's com-tab. Dad doesn't want him using that here anyway."

"Griffin Rock tech isn't supposed to be known about here in Hong Kong, I know. I didn't mention the tech—besides that Doc Greene made it—when I told Gipsy what happened with Humungado and Ravenous." I sigh before smiling slightly. "Feel like walking down to the cafeteria for breakfast?"

"I guess I could use a break." He sets a book on the table before standing. "Let's go."


CAFETERIA

We get our food before sitting down beside Dani and Kade. "Hey, Sheyenne!"

I smile. "Hey, Dani. Kade." I walk over to join them.

Dani smiles. "Morning Graham. Sheyenne told us you weren't feeling well this morning. I was sure you'd still be in bed."

"Sheyenne found something to help."

I shrug. "It wasn't that important. I woke up to find him working on homework."

"What?"

"Morning, Raleigh." I shrug. "He's working on his PhD."

"I've been taking classes at Gremskey Tech through videos and email."

"And, what did Dani mean about—"

I sigh. "He hasn't felt good for a few days. It's not contagious, but he's been preferring to take it easy." I smile. "So… I take it Gips and Striker were fine?"

"We all were. It's a lot easier facing kaiju with a sentient jaeger."

"I think we know what you mean." Dani sighs. "We've been working with our bots for almost four years now."

"And you?"

I shrug. "Didn't really have a Rescue Bot. Wasn't there to be a rescuer, but to hide from the past." I sigh. "But I did really love helping out in either case, and I came to love working with the bots from the time I first met Optimus." I smirk. "Besides, I'm technically one on my own. I trained as an EMT, and I'm a techno-organic."

"Like Gip?"

I shake my head. "Not exactly. Biggest I get is fifteen feet, and I don't have an in-between form."

"Are you done with that?"

I look up to Graham. "Yes. Thank you." I sigh. "I need to get to work on rebuilding Ratch."

"I need to get back to my homework."

I nod. "Just don't work too hard." I sigh. "And come see me in a couple hours, even if you're still feeling fine."

"All right." He sighs before walking toward the suite.


MEDBAY, TWO HOURS LATER

I'm standing off to the side of the medical bay in my Cybertronian form, working with the Cybertronium, and not having the best of luck.

"Sheyenne?"

I look up from the Cybertronium to see Graham at the door. "Hey." I return to my human form and walk over to him. "How you feeling?"

"Tired."

I motion to a chair. "Did you get your homework finished?"

"Just have to email it to my professor."

"Good." I turn back and glare at the frustrating metal with my arms crossed.

"What's wrong?"

I sigh heavily. "That metal is more confusing than it's worth. I know they're made from it, but I can't figure out how to use it to make the necessary repairs." I shake my head. "It's like I need Ratchet's help to revive Ratchet, which, though appreciated, will definitely be impossible."

"Maybe Doc and I can help."

I sigh softly. "Graham, you don't need to be exhausting yourself."

Graham lays a hand on my shoulder. "I'll be fine." He sighs. "Besides, you look like you're close to a meltdown."

I sigh before leaning against the wall. "You're getting good at that." I close my eyes. "You do have a point. Ratch and I were closer than you and Boulder—if that's possible. Finding out Lockdown…killed him…was too much for me to handle. Even when it was just a movie, I couldn't bear it." I look over at the body lying on a large berth. "God, Graham…"

"We'll figure it out. I need to email my paper first, then I'll have Doc and Boulder come back with me and we'll see what we can do."

"Thanks, Graham." I sigh softly. "But if you start to drift off, I'm gonna make you get some rest."

"I think I can handle that."

I sigh. "How did you handle this while I was gone? Seems like things have been difficult for you over the last couple of weeks."

"Dad only had me on calls if Boulder and I were needed, and I spent a lot of time at Doc's."

"Because he knew what we were testing, and you didn't have to worry about blowing anything."

Graham rubs the back of his neck. "Well…"

I cross my arms. "You know what I meant. The secret. What we're testing." I sigh. "Losing your breakfast was not what I was referring to." I smile before laying a hand on his shoulder. "Now, go on. I'm okay, and you need to get Doc and Boulder."
