CHapter 2: Reunions
As june was bringing her son into the house, both her arms around one of his. She was ecstatic, after so long her boy, her son was back, and she was going to make sure he stayed . June was about to ask her son what happened to him, what he has been doing these past thirteen years, and what was with the cloak?
When they made it to the kitchen Jack removed his cloak he had two pistoles alien in origin and a sword strapped to his belt. June grabbed on of his guns and wondered what it was because it doesn't look like a gun. She put her finger on the trigger but Jack yanked the gun from her hand and put it back in it's holster. But it was to late she already pulled the trigger and a blue blast shot from the gun and burned the corner of the ceiling.
"Mom there is a lot that has happened in the last thirteen years." Jack said.
"Ok….tell me." June said. Jack's face turned pale but he recovered and told her of the experiments the decepticons committed on him. Starting with experiment one and ending with his powers. And how he tracked her by hurting himself. June was tearing up the entire time.
Jack was getting ready to go to bed and he had nothing but shorts on. June walked by and saw they her son's body riddled with scars and prodes and messy scarrs. June walked away tearing up again knowing exactly how he got those scars and how he resisted the mind control implemented by the faceless decepticon soundwave.
Three weeks later
During the last three weeks Jack had started his life over from enrolling into school, to getting a driver's license and a job at the burger restaurant, Just getting to know his mother again. It felt good. But today Jack was ready to kill someone, first his school bully Vince tried to trip him in class but Jack's reflexes allowed him to avoid the trick, then some jerks were insulting him and making fun of him, yeah, he was not having a good day. As Jack walked out of the restaurant his mom called him to ask how his day was, when he got distracted by a beautiful blue motorcycle with some pink on it but hi didn't mind. "I love you." Jack said in his haze but he quickly got his conversation finished with his mother.
He hung up and got on the motorcycle. He smelled energon. Could it be an autobot or a decepticon? He got his answer when two purple cars went after him. The motorcycle drove off. Jack turned to grab one of his path blasters but he was off balance. "BRING IT CONS!" Jack shouted. The motorcycle dropped him off and drove down another alley. Another con went after him. THis was Jack's chance. He pulled out a path blaster and shot the con in the endion. THe con was now scrap. He stepped on it's hoode. "That's what you get for attacking my town con!" Jack shouted.
He heard a "Whoa" Come from a motorcycle come from beside him. Jack got on and figured out that it was a bot. "You have no idea autobot." Jack said. The two drove down the alley evading another set of cons.
THe two came to a ravine where Jack took a kid named Raf and brought him down a pipe line.
The following day Jack was walking out of school when he heard Raff call his name, "Look Raf, Let's just keep this between us and pretend none of it ever happened ok?"
"Jack look" Raf said as he pointed to a black and yello car and opened its door with a few chirps and whistles.
"I think he wants us to get in"
"No, Just me"
"How do you know?"
"Because he told me"
"WHAT"
"Your's is over there." Raf said has he pointed to a blue motorcycle, the same blue motorcycle from yesterday got into the car and drove off.
'Not again' Thought Jack in annoyance as he ignored the bike come in front of him. "Look autobot….I don't want any trouble." Jack said.
"Relax, I just want to talk to you there's a lot you don't know."
"Oh I know. I know that cybertron is dead. I know that energon is your lifeblood and flue." Jack said. THe autobot blinked.
"Look we need you to come with us because you are one of the few one of the only that have ever seen us." The autobot said.
"Sorry but not interested." Jack said.
"Optimus prime wants to see you for your own safety." THe bot said. Jack thought it through. He didn't want to risk showing his power yet so he nodded.
"Dude what are you waiting for? Go with!" A girl about fifteen with black hair and pink highlights, jack believed her name was mike.
"Scrap." Arcee said in a sigh.
"YAHOO!"
"And why exactly are we taking her?" Jack asked.
"Rules" Was Arcee's reply.
"Hey Arcee?" Jack asked
"Yes Jack?" Arcee replied
"Is there a chance you could keep my knowledge a secret?" Jack asked
"Sure."
As they neared a mountain jack was surprised when big doers opened up to reveal that the mountain was hoolo as the kids looked around they saw more bots, ne looked like it was a heavy hitter, mostly turned into a truck,
Going to skip after fowler visit and Jack making it home when his mom asked about the motorcycle
Jack told her about the location of the autobots their goals and how different they are from the cons. "Mom what do I do? I just want to be normal, but I smelled the energon from that motorcycle and when the cons attacked me I figured out pretty quickly that she is an autobot." Jack asked.
"Are you sure you can trust this cybertronian Jack?"
"I don't know. Mom I'm afraid."
June was very surprised by his answer. SHe figured with his powers and what he had been through, that Jack was afraid of few things. SHe was right.
"I'm afraid because if the bots figure out who I am….what I am….that they will capture me, and one of the things Soundwave taught me was never getting captured and to kill my captors." Jack said,
June was surprised by her sons answer. He wasn't afraid of them, he was afraid for them,
"Hey." She said as she puller her son into a hug. "We will deal with this together, one step at a time."
Jack smiled, glad he could count on his mother to tell him. "Ok but for now let's go to bed ok?"
"THat sounds like a great idea."
Next day
It was about four in the morning when Jack was awoken from his sleep by a nightmare about his past and maybe a vision but it was clouded and he could not see it. He decided that it would be best to think on the subject.
Several hours later he was brought out of meditation by the revving of an engine. Knowing who it was, he shot from the floor and grabbed the door to the garage. "Are you crazy? You'll wake my mom."
"Grab your helmet it's time to go."
"But it's saturday."
"You can watch cartoons back at base with bumblebee."
"What are cartoons?" Jack asked himself thankfully arcee didn't hear him.
THey arrived back at base just in time to see Optimus and Ratchet leave. "Optimus" Arcee said. "With all do respect playing body guard is one thing babysitting is another." Jack was paying attention to what she was saying. Rolling his eyes he walked away resisting his predatory instincts to scrap her for that insult.
"I'm going on patrol. Bee with me. Bulkhead you're in charge." Stated Arcee after optimus left.
Skipping to Fowers Capture and jack followed.
"Tell me the location of the autobot base Delta." Starscream said. Jack mumbled something. "What was that I can't hear you Delta." Starscream mocked. "Release me and we can take this outside." Jack said. Starscream laughed. "I sincerely hope you're intelligence did not decrease that much in the time you were away from your home." Starscream said. He moved on to Fowler and started torturing him. After starscream left he used his weak telekinesis to force the viacom guard to unlock both of their chains and kill himself. "No witnesses." Jack said. He left the room carrier fowler over his shoulder. He came across a computer lab where he found Miko and Raf. "Let's go." Jack said.
