Prime Blood: Swiped Away Chapter 9 (shot run out, time for Sideswipe to return. Casey enter his battle again with a transformation of her own)

Casey is awoken less than an hour later. Sideswipe is groaning in pain. His right arm hangs loosely at his side. "Swipe?" She's asking if she can help. He turns to her and she can see the tattoo is almost a solid silver plate. He is reaching for his jacket. But his legs give way. She hurries to his side. She knows what his is looking for. "Are you sure? Or is it time to go back?"

He desperately shakes his head. "Not yet. I need just a little bit more time."

"Why?" She is pleading for his life.

Tears are coming down his face, "I need you. Just a little longer, please." She reaches inside the jacket and finds the case. She opens it up. There is one last canister.

"I won't be responsible for your death."

"No, you won't. You have been taking far too good of care of me," he tries to smile. Then he holds his hand out for the syringe. She hesitantly gives it to him. He takes it and puts the tip in his mouth ripping off the top. Then with his wedding ring flashing in the moonlight jams the syringe directly into the eye of the tattoo. She sees the green liquid disappear. The syringe drops from his hand. She gathers up the pieces and puts them back into the case and back into the jacket. He is still sitting on the floor letting the serum do it's job. She helps him up and back under the covers. She strokes his brow and smiles at him.

"I'll get you something to eat."

"Fudge, just bring me the fudge."

She shakes her head, "You need something more than sugar, silly."

She starts to move away and he clasps her arm tightly. His strength is returning. He orders, "Bring me the fudge." She is curious but she does as he says. She also brings him some apples and hot tea.

"What is with the fudge?" He puts a piece in her mouth and then slowly lets a piece be savored in his mouth. She doesn't understand.

"It's a symbolic thing. The first one of us who went through this change, was given fudge as a gift. It was something his mate used to ease her through troubled times. It was a gift of love. It was a way of saying, 'I leave you with love.'" Casey doesn't say a word. She just takes another piece and shares it with him. Then she curls up beside him wrapping her arms around him.

This time when she wakes up, she knows time is up. The sound of trouble can be heard. Sirens, helicopters and such. She can see Bee trying to fight them off. But worse is the groan of Sideswipe crawling towards the stairs. He is so weak he can't walk. She hops down and quickly dresses into her favorite clothes. She comes to his side and helps him down the stairs. She tries to lead him towards the front door.

He shakes his head and points to the cabinets under the loft. "Here. It's here."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm here." She looks at him like he is crazy. He staggers towards the cabinet and yanks one of the doors open. She can see a huge hunk of metal in there. "Help me. Quickly."

She goes around and pulls the doors. The wooden doors are on tracks and they slide them all the way against the marble walls. He tells her, "Go back and get the swords and your gun. You are going to need them. Hurry."

She dashes back up stairs and gets the weapons from the trunk and returns down the stairs just in time to see the most amazing sight. He clearly had not wanted her to see this. He didn't look back. He couldn't or he never would have moved forward.

He took his staggering steps forward arms out stretched. Reaching. As soon as his hands touch the chest there is a flash of blue. The metallic body shutters to life. She jumps back against the fireplace wall. He rises up from the cabinet, thus destroying the loft. He reaches over and grabs a box that was stored with the shell and ingests it. He takes a few deep breaths and rises up, standing on two wheels. Balance. He rolls his head. Then he shakes out each wrist. He swords become visible. But then he retracts his left one. He looks down at his flexing fingers. There is a dark band with a silver eternity symbol impressed on it. Slowly he turns to her. He holds up his hand to show her and smiles. "No matter what comes our way."

She steps towards him. In response, he kneels to her level. Now it is her turn to stroke his face. "You are very good looking. But you knew that, didn't you?"

"And you are brilliant. I am so glad we had this time together."

"Will I see you again?"

"I'm sure we will. But right now we need to separate. They will pick up my larger signal any moment. You shouldn't be with me. They will think you are, of course." The building begins to rumble and both of them know trouble is on the way. "Go. Don't look back. Take the car." She nods.

He tears the curtain down and leaps through the glass wall. She watches him do a very graceful summersault to the ground below dropping as a Corvette. She smiles wirily. No wonder he liked that car so much.

After watching him fall from the penthouse, fold and drop to the street below she felt the hair on the back of her neck straighten up. He rounds the corner and tears off down the road. But from above she sees something fall and follow him. She knows this is not good. She reaches for his cell phone. There was one entry: ME. She knows that has to be.. She tries calling it: No signal. So quickly she grabs his car keys knowing the other 'Vet is still in the garage. She flies down the stairs and hops into it. He may drive like he has done this for years, but she actually has. She's just glad it's in a sports car and not a boxy armored SUV for a change. She peels out of the garage and takes all the back routes. She knows exactly where he is headed.

Even so, she arrives at the dock side warehouse right on his tail. He unfolds and fires off a round from his back at the plane following them. The plane unfolds and Sideswipe starts a fist fight with him, but his growl is to her, "What are you doing here?"

She doesn't answer. She can't. Why was she here? He is more than capable to defend himself. But then two more come in and unfold. Sideswipe whips out his sword. He decapitates his opponent and swings ready to take on the next one. Ironhide and Ratchet come out ready to help.

Casey backs the Corvette into one, tripping it. Two more come in. So now it is four Decepticons vs. one human and three Autobots. She takes the car at full ramming speed towards another.

She hears the bellow too late: "NOOOOO!" from Ratchet. She is hit with a box of some kind of green goo. Then a Decepticon fires a round off at her. The whole Corvette and Casey with the green goo goes end over end into a stack of sealed barrels. The barrels explode. The last she hears is the shwing and cry of another enemy going down. Then she is consumed by the flash of blue and green.

~~Casey has no idea how long she has been out but she hears soft voices talking. She carefully opens her eyes. Her sight is very different. She feels like she is looking through a computer enhanced screen. Everything is in hydefintion clarity. She raises a hand to her head to push the visor from her face. But the hand before her looks very odd. It looks… like a robot? Did the explosion take her arm? She raises the other one. It looks the same but his one has a blue cube stone embedded right next to the fused metal black band with the eternity symbol. Computer enhanced virtual reality with her weeding and engagement rings? The arms look so much like Sideswipe's before he leapt through the glass wall. She starts to hyperventilate. Then she cries out, "What's wrong with me? What happened?"

The voices in the next room sigh, "She's awake!" Then Casey sees Ratchet, Sideswipe and Ironhide come into view.

Ratchet carefully helps her sit up, "How do you feel?"

"I… I don't know? How should I feel with prosthetics?" Ironhide chuckles. She glowers up at him. Two red dots hit his chest and then line up to a single point. The others jump back. Ironhide stops laughing instantly.

"Look, I'm sorry. I know it's not funny for you, but if you could see yourself…"

She whips her head around to the other two. Sideswipe smiles, "I think you look just fine. Absolutely beautiful." The undisguised attraction radiates from his tone as he glides closer to her. Casey nearly blushes at her husband's blatant compliment in front of everyone.

"You would," Ironhide mumbles and steps away, returning with a very reflective surface and holds it in front of her. She is shocked by what she sees. She is a robot. Taking a close look, she notices she kind of similar to Sideswipe: silver and lean. But she has a dark helmet, like her own hair once was. She even has dangling earrings of swords. Casey looks up to Sideswipe who gave her the compliment. She smirks to him.

He shrugs, "I have particular taste. Good taste." Then takes her hand and kisses the back of it, thumbing her "rings", making it clear they were still bound by those vows.

She laughs lightly and then turns to Ratchet, "What happened?"

The doctor sighs heavily and then scratches his head, "Well, here's what I can figure. The crate you were hit with contained the antidote. The barrels you landed in were Energon. Sideswipe said his Cybertronian swords were in the car as well. It fused with your human body. This is a first for us. You have become one of us. I can't imagine why that happened. There must be another piece to the puzzle we are missing. But with more research, I might be able to figure it out. Or we may never know. Anyway, how do you feel?"

She stares at him, "Are you serious? You just hit me the idea that I am actually one of you. And you ask me how I feel?" He nods with a smile. "I think I need a few minutes."

Ratchet and Ironhide withdraw. Sideswipe bows and starts to leave but she catches his hand back as he twists to leave. He is surprised that she asks him to stay. He places himself in front of her. She looks down at her own feet. She giggles and sees they are wheels like him. He smiles. She looks back up at him, "I always did like roller skating." He takes her hands and helps her get her balance. She leans into him and embraces him. "Will I stay this way or will it be temporary like you were?"

He holds her close and leans his head against hers and softly worries, "I don't know, darling."

"I don't want to leave your side," her voice nearly trembles. Safe in his arms, she is ready to show her real fear: separation from him.

But he knows she has to face these facts. "We are not civilians. We are warriors."

"Do you think I would be accepted? Do you think I could do the job?"

He strokes her head and tips her chin to face him. Then emitting all the pride he can for his wife, "I know you can, Casey. I have no doubt."

"Who do I answer to? Human or…"

"Me." They both turn around to see Prime in the doorway. "Ratchet, I want a full scan. Now. She needs to know what she is dealing with." She looks to Sideswipe. He just nods his head for her to go with Ratchet.

A couple hours later, Ratchet calls Prime over and secretly talks to him. He keeps pointing to one spot on his computer. Prime strokes his chin pondering. Then a big grin comes across his face. He calls Ironhide in. They both look at it carefully. Finally Casey can't take it anymore. She rolls over to them.

"If there is something you have found out about my body, I think I should have a right to know."

"Agreed," Prime clearly states. "Sideswipe, get in here," he orders, knowing he was outside the whole time.

Prime points to the screen. There is a white dot in near the center of the chest. "Do you know what that is?"

Sideswipe shakes his head, "No sir. I've never seen one of those before."

"Zoom, in Ratchet." Prime orders. Ironhide keeps his arms crosses with a hand over his mouth. He knows. She looks back and forth between all the beings in the room.

"By the love of the All Spark!" Sideswipe gasps softly.

Prime chuckles and put his hand on Sideswipes shoulder, "No, by the love of you two." He puts his other hand on her shoulder. "Congratulations." Sideswipe actually falls over backwards onto the ground. All but Casey laugh.

"Sir, what are you talking about?" she finally asks to her new commander respectfully.

Ratchet tells her, "That is a pod containing a new life. In human terms, you are pregnant. That was the missing factor I was looking for." Now it is her turn to fall over backwards. But Prime catches her before she hit's the ground. He helps her sit on the ground beside her…. Mate. She looks over at him.

Sideswipe is starting to come around, reaching to stroke her face. He smiles up at her, " A new life? Us?"

She laughs, "Please don't tell me anything else new. I think my head is going to explode with all I have to assimilate as it is."

Prime kneels between them and pats both their shoulders, "You know what this means for all of us?" Sideswipe nods heavily and shoots a glance to Ironhide, who gives him a curt nod. Casey on the other hand doesn't understand. But she does know that if it is a big deal for Prime and Sideswipe, it must be a huge deal.

But they don't have time to ponder. The pounding of incoming explosives can be heard. They all stand up quickly and get their weapons charged. Bee comes in and lets them know the Decepticons are back for clean up duty.

Casey whips out her pistols from her wrist, "Then lets go kick their cans."

Everyone bellows at her, "Not you!'

She threatens them with her armament, "I swear, don't you dare treat me like a pathetic woman." Ironhide, Bee and Ratchet go to hold off the invasion.

Sideswipe turns to her directly holding her back by the shoulders, "You don't understand. When we lost the cube and our planet, we lost the ability to create new life. Our war is to defend a dieing race. We are all that is left. You carry hope for our future. You could have the last one of our race." Her body sags at the weight of what she carries. Now she understands why he was so shocked. They created a new life.

Prime pulls out his own gun and hands it to Swipe, "Get her out of here."

"Sir, we need you too. Why don't you take her back? You understand this…"

Prime clamps the weapon onto Sideswipe's back, then clenches his face in between his large warrior paws so Sideswipe has not choice but face Prime eye to eye. Then in the most tender voice Sideswipe has ever heard Prime use, "I understand far too well what is at stake. Get her out of here. That is not an order. It is the plea of…" he swallows hard then he tells Sideswipe in their own language, "It is the plea of a lost mate." With that, he steps back and sets his own hands to blazing swords. Prime walks out to the battle leaving Sideswipe to follow his orders unargued.

"Come," is all Sideswipe can manage to get out to Casey. He feels like the Earth's gravity just doubled. Casey doesn't argue either and follows him through the back door. Dropping to their wheels, head through the warehouse district. Casey drops to a convertible '68 silver and black Stingray. Sideswipe, with Prime's gun mounted to his trunk, keeps her directly in front, rotating the cannon firing off at any Decepticons trying to follow. They make it to the main street, then to the highway. A couple miles down the road, a yellow Lamborghini slides up to his side nearly nudging Sideswipe. "Well hello, brother. So what is going on? Curious attire you have there."

"Sunstreaker?" Sideswipe nudges him aside. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey! Don't mess the new paint job." And nudges him back.

"So who is the topless hotty in front of us? Friend or foe? Escort or prison transport?" Casey pulls and expert 180 and goes nose to nose with the Lamborghini, while still moving in reverse. Sunstreaker revs the engine and nudges her. "You have no idea who you are messing with, dearie."

Casey doesn't need Sideswipe to defend her. She starts to pop up to protoform but now her mate barks, "Casey don't! Stay in disguise." She barks a laugh at him. He grimaces, "You know what I mean. Keep it low key until we get back."

"Just tell me who this yellow yutz is." She swings back around like normal traffic.

"Yellow Yutz?" Sunstreaker bellows and goes to ram her.

Sideswipe nudges him off again, "Don't touch my mate!" The Lamborghini's breaks smoke leaving a streak nearly a quarter mile long. The Corvettes don't stop. They pour on the steam even more. Sunstreaker has to peal out to catch up without a word.

It had bothered him that neither command or his twin would tell him why they had been separated. I freaked him out that their telepathic link had been quickly severed. But when he could feel the familiar hum come back online earlier today, he defied orders and blew in to find out what the slag was going on. But Sideswipe take a mate? That was just too much for his processor to process. Sideswipe has a Pit of a lot of explaining.

~~ Just outside of the city, Sunstreaker tried to send his brother a message: Swipe?

Not now! Sideswipe's retort is firm.

Did I do something? I'm sorry if I did! Sunstreaker tries again. Sideswipe's only response is Prime's barrel raised and pointed directly at him. Sunstreaker backs off and remains silent the rest of the way back to the base.

The three part team makes it back to the Virginia base in one piece and no further trouble along the way. As soon as it is possible, they protoform. Casey gets a good look at this new Autobot. Sunstreaker is giving her a very nice look-over. Sideswipe is not please by his brother's looks towards Casey and steps in front of Sunstreaker, "Cool it, brother."

Casey cocks a hand to her hip letting her mate know she can handle this type of cocky flirt, "Ah ha, another brother?"

Sideswipe turns to her narrowing his gaze to both of them, "Sunstreaker is my twin. We emerged together. Side by side. We are very rarely apart." Then he embraces his brother warmly. It's good to see you. I'll explain all this later.

Relieved, Sunstreaker sends back. She is gorgeous and feisty. Has she got a sister?

Instead of answering, Sideswipe pulls back a bit and laughs heartily shaking his head. The joke wasn't that good, but Sideswipe found it hysterical. Casey gives them both a careful look, what did she just miss?

Sunstreaker taps Prime's gun on his back, "Nice up grade."

Sideswipe sighs returning to the tense moment. "I have to return it. Prime's." Sunstreaker's eyes go wide. Sideswipe puts a hand to Casey's chest. He can't say it at first, "Casey carries… there's…."

Casey finally gets it out for him with her left hand on his on her chest, "It seems I'm pregnant."

Sunstreaker looks at them like they are crazy, "Yeah right."

"Sunstreaker, I'm not kidding. There's a pod in her. It's mine." Sideswipe opens a panel on her chest and clear as day, there's a small little white/silver pod with a slight blue glow and a strap of red to it in her chest next to her own blue spark. Then he closes the panel.

Sunstreaker bows his head gently to Casey, "I will help protect you."

Casey is frustrated and steps back from both of them, "I can take care of myself." They both follow her as she tries to walk away.

"Casey wait!" They call after her. Sideswipe puts a hand on her elbow while Sunstreaker puts a hand on her shoulder. Casey yanks her arm from Sideswipe's grasp and pulls Sunstreaker's arm, flipping him over her shoulder to the ground. Then she shoots a foot back and smacks Sideswipe in the chest knocking him to his rear.

She pulls her pistol-fists out and aims one at each of them, "Back off. I won't be hovered over. I understand the gravity of the situation, but you don't understand mine. So you all better give me room to breathe, or I will leave. Prime will give me that right."

"Not carrying a new Autobot life, he won't," Sideswipe carefully gets up.

"MY offspring. And I can change my mind to stay," she barks back

He leans in, "OUR offspring."

She leans in, "Then sue me for custody!"

Sunstreaker gapes at the femme, "Where did you find her, Swipe? She sounds so… human."

Sideswipe ignores his brother and tries to reach out again for her, "Casey, wait."

This is where Prime and the others come in. Ratchet laughs seeing the stand off between Casey and Sideswipe. "Looks like the honeymoon is over."

Casey sees them. Swiftly, she rips the gun off Sideswipe back (with a yelp from him) and rolls right up to Prime. She thrusts the gun back into his hands, "You and I need to talk."

Prime raises a curious eyebrow at her, "I thought you were used to military command structure?"

She laughs, "Oh this has nothing to do with command structure. This has to do with freedom and how I've lost all of mine." She glances back to her overprotective mate.

He secures the gun and gestures to her, "Let's walk." Sideswipe starts to come but Prime holds him back with a hand. Sideswipe is resigned to waiting with his brother while his mate walks away with his offspring.

Prime latches his hands behind his back. He is pretty sure where this conversation is going to go. He has had it before. But he also knows it is best to just listen. "Tell me, Casey."

"In less than a week my life has gone from mess up to upside down and inside out." Prime can't help but chuckle. He wasn't doing it to be rude, it just was very picturesque. "I am used to running the protection and surveillance teams. Not being in it. I can't live that way. I understand the precious gift I carry. It has been a dream of mine to be a mother… some day. But…" she waves her hand around at all the Autobots standing around watching her. But her gaze stops on one in particular. "I don't want to stop anyone from doing their job. I just ask no one stop me from doing mine." Now it's her turn to laugh looking down at her new body, "Like I have a clue what that is!"

Even Prime has to join the laugh this time. He stops and she faces up at him. "Casey, I can't promise you that they won't stop worrying about you. I can't tell you how excited we were the last time this happened." She raises and eyebrow at him, this time. He makes a quick glance at Ironhide. She catches the meaning quickly. "But you and I both know this Cybertainium issue isn't done. We are still going to need you on that. I won't assign Sideswipe to your side, but he will have to be in on it. He was part of the recon team."

She nods and sticks her hand out, "Fair enough." He takes her hand in return.

He walks her back to the group, "You had best talk to your mate about names."

"Yeah and my husband better watch it or he will find his backside laying beside his brother's, again." She smirks up at Prime. Prime just laughs heartily.

~~ When they arrive back, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe do not like the fact Casey has been laughing with their commander. She comes up to them softly. Then shoves Sunstreaker in the chest and leans over to leave a kiss on Sideswipes lips. Then with very gracefully she rolls away with her arms behind her back. They all watch her with the grace of an ice-skater, leap off the ground, tuck the leg up to her waist, do a pirouette, land still spinning with her hands over her head like a ballerina. Then she rolls on the other foot, switching back and forth, forward & backward to the hangar. Then just to really push it, she picks up speed and drops to a crouch, all her weight with one wheel, the other leg tucked up to hip and spins.

Sideswipe knows what she is doing. "Show off!"

She wiggles a finger at him daring him to come over and challenger her. The hoot call goes out from the NEST team. Sunstreaker nudges Sideswipe. Sideswipe growls at the ribbing. He crouches down in his runner's stance and pushes off towards her. She smiles at the challenge. He arches around towards her, she giggles and back peddles from his arc. Quickly Sunstreaker, Prime and the others back away giving them plenty of room to parley. As he comes closer, he retracts his sword. In response, she retracts the pistols. He is now face to face with her. She's rolling backwards while he is face to face, nose to nose moving forward.

She whispers, "So now what, husband?" He smiles broadly and wraps an arm around her waist. She leans back into his arm. It looks like a dancer's move. But she reaches an arm around his neck pulling him further down. She lets her other hand arch over her head to the ground. She pulls him further forward. He will have to put a hand down, or else skid on his face. He drops a wheeled elbow to the ground. That was just what she needed. In a flash, she slips her hands to his hips and yanks. This shoots her out of his hold and through his legs. With all his weight on one elbow and the weight suddenly released from his left arm, he goes skittering to the pavement. She gracefully shoots through his legs rolls to her front and pushes herself upright. She smirks down on him.

His eyes narrow as he comes to a crumbling stop. He quickly recovers and comes towards her again. This time he comes in low and lifts her off the ground by hoisting her waist to his shoulder. Then he spins around hoping to rattle her. Once again she grabs his hips and flips her feet completely over his shoulder. She may crash to the ground on her rump, but she was out of his grasp. He stops spinning and drops to all fours pinning her to the tarmac.

"Want some help, brother?" Sunstreaker bellows.

Sideswipe doesn't even respond. He keeps her in his target lock. "We should have sparred as humans. It would have been fun."

She reaches up, latching her arms around his neck, "What was last night?" He growls at the memory. Then she kicks him in the ankle. He drops to one knee. Then he drops the other knee and presses her to the ground with his weight. This is getting too personal, temperatures are beginning to rise. Prime clears his throat to call an end of the session.

Sideswipe hears the unconventional order. He starts to rise. But Casey wasn't done. She lets a hand trail down his arm. She silently releases one of his swords, then inches it under his chin. "You aren't going to patronize me."

He stands up. She stands up to him too. He brings the other sword out. Slipping it under hers, pushes it away from his face.

"And you won't do anything rash?"

She makes another thrust and he blocks her, "What do you call rash?"

He makes a move to disarm her, but she blocks his blow. "Anything that will leave me seeking revenge for yours or the offspring's death." She knows there is something very serious in that tone. He steer her gaze to look at Optimus. Oh, she gets it right away. This team has been there and done that. But there is more.

They exchange three or four more blocks, "And I won't have to go searching for your murderer?" she counters.

He grasps her wrist, "This is war."

She grabs his over hers, "Yes it is. For life. For freedom."

His voice goes serious while they both are locked in blocks, "Casey, let me get this clear. True I used to only wanted to come back so there would always be one more Autobot to see the next day with one less 'Con. But there is no way I am going to let Sunstreaker or Ironhide raise my son." He grins, "Maybe Prime, but that's the end of my limit." Casey can't help but smile at the joke. They both back off and just watch each other. Is either one going to make another move? She turns the sword around, handing back to him. Truce.

Then they roll back towards Prime side by side. Sunstreaker comes to her other side, "So Casey, have you got a sister?"

She smirks up at him, "Not one who would put up with you. She's a real fighter."

Sunstreaker rubs his hands together, "Oh yeah, just my type." Sideswipe smacks him with the flat of the sword over his head. It makes a great gong sound.

Casey turns to Sideswipe and laughs shaking her head, "In laws. Can't kill 'em but they're every where you go."

What's that suppose to mean? Sunstreaker yells.

Sideswipe cringes, "Ah Casey, we need to talk."

Casey freezes and turns to him, "How many surprises do you have?"

Sunstreaker smirks, "Oh… quite a few. I can tell them allll to you."

Sideswipe shoves his brother away with a palm to the face and an order, "Leave me alone for a few minutes."

Prime chuckles, "Sideswipe, Casey, ten minutes. Then debrief. Sunstreaker, what are you doing here?"

"Ah well sir, see when I couldn't reach Swipe through the link-"

Sideswipe is already leading Casey aside when she asks, "Link? Why doesn't it sound like a com link?"

Sideswipe rolls his head, "Because it isn't. We have a telepathic link. But it was broken when I went human, thank goodness. Silence for awhile."

Casey stops him faces him directly, "Telepathic, not com?"

Swipe shakes his head, "No not com. Nothing can break it, well almost nothing." he glances back to Sunstreaker looking rather forlorn and drops his head.

Casey can see the look now, "No body told him?" Sideswipe shakes his head. "He came looking for you?" He nods. Then Casey gets it, "Dear Lord, he thought you were dead!" Sideswipe nods sadly. "Instead you come back with me." Another nod. She looks between Sunstreaker trying to defend his spark to his commander and her mate feeling guilty for not telling him. She pushes past Sideswipe and embraces Sunstreaker tightly. Prime stops and just watches as Sunstreaker carefully returns the embrace.

"I'll smack him with you the next time he pulls a stunt like that! Him too," she thumbs towards Prime. Prime scowls.

Sunstreaker sighs and sends his brother: Okay, I really like this femme. Has she got a sister?

Sideswipe smiles back, Yeah, but she's a human.

You're full of slag.

"Sunstreaker, I got a secret to tell you. I wasn't always a 'Bot." Sunstreaker pulls back curious. "I was a human this morning." Sunstreaker passes out.
