A/N Humans come in this chapter. Setting the stage for future chapters a little bit. This story has gotten an AMAZING response to both this and Warlord's Affair, and I thank all those who have read and reviewed these stories.
Rose was sitting in the base's awkward human-sized living room watching TV. Well, she wasn't really watching anything, more like channel-surfing, trying to find something to watch until Bee and Arcee got back.
Just as she was about to give up and see if Bulkhead wanted to do something she heard Bumblebee and Arcee's engines revving up the ramp into the base.
When the yellow and black muscle car opened his door, Rose saw a small human wearing red glasses step out. His hair was brown with a wind-blown craziness to it. Two humans stepped off of Arcee, a girl and a boy. The boy looked older than the other two, and more responsible. The girl was asking Bulkhead rapid-fire questions and making the big bot quite uncomfortable.
Rose heard other conversation going on and decided to get a closer look at the humans. Her Carrier was explaining how they'd ended up on Earth. Rose had been online when they'd left their home planet, but she had been too young to remember it very well.
Rose walked down the steps to the main floor. 'They're a very small species, aren't they?' she thought as she approached the humans. "Hey kiddo, I was wondering when you would get curious enough to come check out the humans." Bulkhead said his vice filled with relief. Rose could tell he was happy to have the human female's attention off of him, even for a moment. "Hi, I'm Miko. What's your name, and why are you so small?" the black-and-pink-haired human questioned almost before Rose knew she was so close. "My name's Rose and I'm so small because I'm a lot younger." She said, not seeming in the least bit offended.
Hours later the humans left, so did Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Arcee. "Rose, how do you feel?" Ratchet asked. "I'm fine; although, I am a little tired." She tried, and failed, top stifle a yawn. "Well then, off to berth with you." Optimus said as he scooped up his daughter. "Night, Ratchet." Rose grumbled, already starting to fall into recharge.
A/N That's it for early stuff. The next chapter skips WAY ahead to the end of season one. You may have figured out that what I do follow, I follow VERY loosely. Anyway, hoped you enjoyed Chapter 2 of Warlord's Bloodline, please leave a review and let me know what you all think so far. And just a reminder this is unbetad.
