But we cannot interfere with his investigation without repercussions." Prime said. He glanced at Kit, then Compass.
"Believe me, I know how you feel." his optics twinkled conspiratorilly.
"So, what now?" Jade, Driveby, and her group all looked to Alpha, Omega, and Compass.
Prowl glanced at his computer, and typed something. "Well.. I thought you might like to know. That soldier who was supposedly..."
Prowl stopped and glanced at Jade.
"Anyhow, I thought you might like to find him." Jade grinned. "Really!!!!?"
"You found Michael Brandt?!!" she squeed, jumping up and down.
((my apologies to anyone of that name. I was just trying to randomly come up with one))
Prowl smirked and nodded. "YESSS!" Jade jumped up and down.
"BOOYA!" she yelled.
"But." Prowl stopped her.
"I only found a record of his credit card being used in Canada. It could have been stolen. And If it was him, he could be anywhere in Alberta." he added. Jade stopped bouncing, but still grinned ear-to-ear.
Kit smiled. She then sighed.
Alpha hugged her daughter. "Don't worry, Kit."
"So, who are you gonna send to find him?" she hinted.
"I have to do a little more research before I can find his residence. He's most likely going by an alias of some sort." Prowl replied.
Jade looked at the others. "so, what's our next move?" she asked
Alpha shrugged.
Kit shrugged.
Omega shrugged.
"I dunno." All three said.
Compass looked at Prime for a moment, before letting his wings droop slightly, glancing at Kit. He turned and left, heading for his bunk
"Don't tell anyone you saw us. Not even the twins. Kay?" Jade called after him.
"Wait!" Alpha hurried after Compass. She grabbed his arm. "don't go. You can help us out here."
Kit jumped down and walked over to Compass. The sparkling smiled softly.
Compass looked at her, then at Kit.
"Help you with what?" He looked at her tiredly.
"I don't know, but you don't have to..." Alpha trailed off and sighed. She looked at Compass and let him go. "Never mind."
Kit hugged Compass' leg.
"No, no, I'm sorry." He sighed heavily and put an arm around her. "I'm just a bit lagged and tired today. I've been worried about you." He leaned down and picked up Kit in his other arm.
"I think we all need a recharge. Or some energy." Beacon said, sitting down.
Driveby looked at Compass. "Could you get a few energon cubes from the rec room and bring them back here?"
Alpha smiled. "Don't have to worry about me...much." She grinned.
Kit hugged Compass' neck
Compass nodded lazily, and handed Kit to Alpha before heading down to the rec room, his feet giving off a slight drag as he walked.
Alpha sighed. "Poor Compass..."
"Yeah..." Kit nodded. "Poor Compass..."
Compass hummed gently as he headed into the rec room, walking directly towards the energon stash, before dipping down and piling up a few for himself and the others.
Alpha sighed and then hugged Kit. "Everything'll be okay..."
Kit snuggled into her mother and looked at the others.
"I may just be saying this cause I'm tired, too." Cap said; But if it takes one to three months for Klutch to drag us out of the country, we have plenty of time to plan out defense." he recieved glares from HT and Driveby both.
"I am not spending three months in a dinky, dark, dank cell!." HT snarled.
"Okay,okay, just a suggestion. sorry.." the little bot looked away. "We didn't do anything wrong, so why should we be worried?"
the group sat down crosslegged on the destop as Prime left to go take care of some other things. and make sure Sunstreaker and Sideswipe weren't 'having fun' with their 'guest'.
Cliffjumper looked up as Compass trudged into the rec. room, noticing the bot. He nudged Brawn. "Hey, seen your girlfriend lately?" he sneered.
Compass jerked up instantly, and turned to glare at the minibot. He fanned out his wings and narrowed his optics dangerously. "Excuse me?"
Haven't you heard? she turned traitor, and went to the Decepticons." he seemed happy to relay the news.
Brawn put in "I wonder if Starscream has a new girlfriend." and snickered.
Compass looked at the two, then flickered his wings. Picking up the energon cubes condensed in one hand, he stepped from behind the bar and held up the nailgun, pinpointing between Brawn and Cliffjumper. He shot, nailing the seat between the two with four consecutive nails, before stomping out.
"You better hope I miss next time, too."
"Why you little!" Cliffjumper sprung to his feet. "Hey! someone! he just tried to kill us! he yelled.
Brawn clapped a hand over the minibot's mouth. But Cliffjumper pulled it away.
"You're as bad as she is! Why don't you go join the Decepticons, too!" he yelled.
Compass' wings twitched consistantly. He turned around, facing the minibot. He tossed the nailgun aside, and went straight for Cliffjumper. Grabbing him by the neck using his magnets, he held him against the wall. He put his left foot against the wall beside him, and switched the poles around so that Cliffjumper's legs attached to them, preventing him from hitting the larger bot.
"For someone so dedicated for the Autobot cause, I honestly wonder why you are even letting either of them stay here if they are Decepticons. You're a Primus-fearing bot. Start acting like it. I'm not here to fight with you, but if you want to start one I won't hesitate to do so.
So Get. Over. It."
With a large snap, he flipped his magnets back and sent the minibot sailing into Brawn. He picked up the energon cubes and left, heading down the hall taking deep breaths, attempting to slow his intakes down.
Kit looked up at Prime. "Thank you, Uncle Prime. For helping me..."
Alpha smiled at her stepped back into the room and took an energon cube for himself before passing the rest around. "Sorry I took so long."
Cliffjumper glared, but didn't follow. "What did he mean by letting them stay here?" he asked.
Brawn shrugged. Cliffjumper gasped. "They're here! theyre hiding out inside the base somewhere!" the minibot ran out of the rec room to find Klutch.
"What happened?" Driveby asked. She and the rest of the group were back in their 'bot forms now.
Prime left, saying he had some other business to attend to, and called Hound to stay with Indy and keep an eye on her.
Alpha nodded. She looked at Compass and read through his mind, then frowned. She let Kit walk over to Jade before she buried her head in her arms and let out a ragged sigh.
"Al?" Omega asked, poking his sister.
"They think we're traitors..." she thought-sent
"I knew that much..."
"But you know what, Omega?" Alpha looked up, "If being a traitor means I stick by my friends..."
"You don't mind it."
"Bingo."
Omega smirked and sat down next to his sister. "So..."
"I'm gonna kill Cliffjumper and Brawn."
Terra played with the sand using her talons. She sighed. "So...what now?"
"I'm... not sure. I'll need to get back to the Autobots soon, or they'll worry."
"Can I...Can I come too?" Terra asked, looking at the femme.
Snow smiled. "Of course."
Terra smiled. "Thank you." She said, flapping her velvet wings.
"No promlem," Snow answered, glancing nervously at Orcus.
Orcus merely smirked and turned his back to the femmes.
Terra smiled a bit and then flew over to Snow.
The white femme smiled and turned around to lead Terra back.
"Just one thing though..." she said as they left the cave. She turned to look at Orcus again, then back to Terra. "Don't say anything about... him. The Autobots... don't like him."
Terra blinked, but nodded. "Okay..."
"He attacked two of the femmes I think..." Snow answered. "And me."
Terra blinked. "But...why?" she asked as she flew out of the cave next to snow.
"I... don't know. He just did," Snow answered, concentrating on finding her way back.
"Oh..." Terra muttered. She looked around and smiled a bit. "It's pretty out here"
"Yeah," the white femme smiled and looked around.
Terra looked up, red optics twinkling, and then looked at the femme next to her. "So...how'd you figure out how to fly?"
Snow shrugged. "I was trying to save the sparkling. I just... did. I can't maneuver very well though. Or hover."
"I see..." Terra said, looking at Snow. She then looked up, "So...SnowFeather...did you ever see any of the other experiments?"
The femme shook her head.
"Never. The only time I went near any other experiments was when I was going back to my cell. And I was usually being carried by then. I was in a Isolation Zone. I only ever saw the scientists and warriors. Or glimpses of the others."
