Sorry about the delay, work, collage and of course GTA 5 have been keeping me busy. I'll try to update more often as best as I can.
There is music in this chapter. Just copy and paste the URL on Google or the Address bar. Or don't do it. Be that way. I don't care. (I care immensely.)
Jack, whose faceplates were now tingling with heat looked in shock at Airachnid. He was honestly speechless in the predicament that he was in.
Arcee looked at Airachnid with slight fierce optics. She tightened her grip on Jack ever so slightly.
Airachnid glared at Arcee before setting her optics on Jack. She noticed a small strand of Energon going from his lips to Arcee's.
Airachnid's optics began to moisten, she quickly left the room without another word.
Jack snapped out of his shock. "H-hey wait!" He called out. Arcee looked at him with slight shock.
Jack looked at Arcee with a slight sheepish and nervous smile. "U-uh I'll be back." Jack softly pushed Arcee away and made his way towards the door. "I-I'll talk to you later?" And with that, Jack left the room with a nervous wave.
Arcee looked at the closed door before looking down with a clenched fist. "How could I be so stupid?" She whispered.
...
Jack hurried down the corridors, trying to find Airachnid.
He bumped into Bulkhead instead.
"Whoa Jack...what's going on?" He asked Jack.
"Have you seen Airachnid?" Asked Jack with a slightly hurried tone to his voice.
"Um...I saw her go through the entrance, she seemed upset. What happened?" Asked Bulkhead.
Jack immediately ran toward's the entrance of the base.
"Jack!" Called out Ratchet as he continued to work at his console. "If you are looking for Airachnid she is on top of the base."
Jack stared at Ratchet before quickly making his way towards the roof. "Thanks Ratchet!" He called out before going around a corner out of sight.
Ratchet smiled softly before chuckling. "Be easy on both of them kid."
...
Jack opened the large Elevator doors leading onto the top of the large rock formation that the abandoned missile silo used as cover from the public eye.
He looked around before walking towards the edge and looking out at the landscape. It was a nice dusk moment towards the end of the day.
But then something caught his eye. To his right was a figure sitting on the edge of the cliff. A slender and dangerous figure. Airachnid.
Jack quickly hid behind a large rock before peering over it to watch her.
She had one knee bent towards her and one leg off the edge of the cliff. It looked like she had a small object in her digits. Playing with it slightly. Contemplating it with a stoic face. Dried Energon tears below her optics.
What was that about?
But Jack swallowed as he looked at her frame. The deadly beauty the sat before him. The sun hit her frame in all the right angles. Showing all the curves in all the right places. Her dark purple. Almost Black armor gave her a sleek and... dare he think. Sexy elegance?
Jack shook his head before deciding that Airachnid probably wanted to be alone.
So he turned around and began walking silently back towards the door before a well placed rock placed itself right in front of his pede...he tripped on a rock would be a simpler explanation.
Jack fell down face first onto the hard ground.
Airachnid jumped and ready'd her blasters before walking slowly towards the direction that the noise appeared from.
"I don't appreciate being sneaked up on." Said Arachnid with a bitter tone.
"WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE MY NOSE?!" Yelled Jack as he clutched the area where his nose would have been.
Airachnid's optics widened. "Jack?" She whispered.
'Wait a second.' Thought Jack. 'I don't even have a nose. Not anymore.'
Jack clentched his fist and gritted his teeth. 'But that's beside the point.' He thought. 'I AM SICK OF HITTING MY FACE EVERYTIME I GET INJUR-'
Jack's optics met with Airachnid's.
They stared at each other before they both looked away abruptly. Airachnid with a small blush. Jack with a face full of embarrassment due to his clumsiness.
Airachnid glanced at Jack with a small smile before she remembered him kissing Arcee.
Her smile dissipated.
"Uh..." Began Jack. "I saw you were upset about something. I thought you wanted some help..."
Jack sighed. "Uhhh...is everything okay?"
Airachnid scoffed slightly. "I'm fine." She said before walking back to the cliff side and sitting down.
"No your not." Said Jack with a firm voice. He then smiled. "Please let me help."
"Go away Jack." Replied Airachnid in her own 'Firm' voice.
"Not until you tell me what's going on-"
"FRAG IT JACK!" Airachnid shot up and quickly made her way towards him. "JUST LEAVE!" She yelled.
Jack looked down at her. "No."
Airachnid was shaking with anger. "How can you be so stupid!?" She said. "I tried to kill you. Why don't you leave?! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"
Jack looked down at Airachnid's shaking body.

"I could ask you the same thing." Said Jack.
Airachnid froze.
"Why are YOU here?" Asked Jack before bending down slightly to Airachnid's optic level.
"Why did you become an Autobot?"
Airachnid felt a chill go down her spine.
She backed away slowly before looking down.
"I'm not sure." She said. "It just felt...better for some reason." She said quietly.
A few seconds of silence passed before Jack chuckled. "That's why i'm here with you. You've changed quite a bit since the last time we 'met'."
Airachnid looked at Jack with shock.
"I enjoy helping people out with their problems." Shrugged Jack. "I don't know...it feels good."
Airachnid had a blush on her faceplates as she stared in a trance at Jack.
He was perfect.
He made her feel...appreciated.
Loved even.
"I'm sorry that I have to throw this out but...how was your past?"
Airachnid suddenly received a large jolt of pain to her helm. She fell to one knee.
"H-Hey are you okay?" Jack rushed over to her side.
Airachnid flinched at the pain before looking over at Jack. She saw the genuine concern in his optics.
Her spark fluttered.
"You know." Began Airachnid. "That question."
She smiled slightly, her purple optics shown a bit brighter.
"You are the first and only one who asked that question. Genuinely."
Jack smiled at Airachnid and placed his servo on her shoulder and squeezed slightly.
Airachnid looked down at his servo.
Her optics began to moisten.
"I'm scared Jack." She whispered.
Jack raised his optic brow. "Scared?"
Airachnid nodded slightly before opening her subspace and revealing the small object that she had in her servo moments before.
A small data chip.
"All of my memories are in here. Everything before Megatron...changed me."
Jack's Optics darkened. "Megatron? What did he do?" Asked Jack in a stern voice.
"I don't know." Said Airachnid as she finally looked up at him, optics filled with tears.
"I'm scared."
Getting closer and closer to the main synopsis of this story. Airachnid's past. I'm going to feel like such an asshole writing her past. Some parts won't be pretty.
Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW.
