Lockdown
I was told to stay put when Peter went to get Shadow and Starscream who were visiting the boys. I really didn't know what to make of this mech to be entirely honest. He had similar facial markings as I did, so I knew he was what I was (And still am). He was a half-blood, a mixed breed. Half Autobot, Half Decepticon, stronger than both. Other than that, he was mostly orange. I didn't know him, but Bumblebee, Prowl, and Sari knew him.
"Dude, if Ratchet were alive, he'd so kill us" Bumblebee admitted.
"Who is he?" I asked.
"Probably the biggest mess on legs. But he's kinda loveable when you get to know him. He was a huge mess when we first met him. His name's Wreck-Gar and he used to scare the sanity out of me" Sari said.
"He's a Half-blood" I added.
"A what?" Sari asked.
"Lockdown, you can't be serious? I mean, Half-bloods are extinct, right?" Bumblebee didn't believe me.
"Not exactly. I'm a Half-blood, so is Shadow and our boys are gonna be too".
"Dude, then he can kick our afts!".
"Not exactly. He's kinda what humans would call…what's that word again? I know it starts with an R, but-".
"You mean retarded?" Sari asked, "What's a Half-blood?".
"Cross between an Autobot and Decepticon. They've got a ton of energy and have enough strength to kill both kinds" I answered, "By the way, yeah, retarded, that's the word I'm looking for".
"What'd we miss?" Shadow asked, "Who's that?".
"Biggest mess on legs" Sari answered, yet again.
"What?".
"His name's Wreck-Gar".
"Oh, well, is he dead?".
"That's the thing, we don't know" Peter told her.
"Well, poke him, see what he does".
We all poked him, and he didn't seem to move until Prowl got him in the side and he just started laughing. He had been faking it the whole time. Playing possum as Ratchet once called something like that.
"I got you guys. I win!" he said.
All I had to do was hear that voice once and I was instantly annoyed, but Shadow just adored him. Once again, maternal instincts were kicking on.
"Aww, aren't you the cutest little thing? I'm Shadow Wing, but you can call me Shadow".
"Oh Primus, don't get him started!" Bumblebee tried to warn us.
Too Late…
"I am Wreck-Gar, and I dare to be stupid!".
Shadow gave out a silent squeal as she embraced him. "I can't help it, he's cute. I just love hugging him! It's weird, but I like it".
"It's just a phase, Lockdown…It's just a phase, she'll get over it and we can move on with our lives".
Or Not…
"Can we keep him?!" Shadow asked.
"No!" I said, "Absolutely not".
"Why not?".
"Because he looks like a nuisance".
"I am wreck-Gar, and I'm a nuisance, whatever that means!".
"Yes, you are" I admitted.
"Nuisance or not, we're keeping him. We can't leave a little cutie like this all alone. He needs someone to take care of him. And who else better to do it than us?".
I couldn't argue that. The mother of my children had spoken…the Nuisance was staying, much to my discontent.
