(OC POV)

"This. Is. Awesome!" I squealed with an excited expression as I walked onto the tarmac of the Autobot's base, clapping my hands before I took off towards where said 'Bot's were getting off their planes.

"Whoa there femme, take it easy." a silver mech said as I streaked past him as I made a beeline for Optimus' alt mode, a laugh leaving me as I waved at him and kept moving towards the leader happily.

"Aileen." the deep baritone greeted me as said 'Bot stilled and then broke apart in his other form, electric blue eyes staring at me softly moments later as the wheels on his legs spun.
"Hey there handsome, where have you been all my life?" I said with a flirtatious wink as I rested my body against Ratchet whom still hadn't transformed, a snort coming from said medic before he moved away causing me to stumble slightly.

"Don't start." the medic simply said before rolling towards what I'm guessing was command central, a smile coming to Optimus' lips as he glanced at the retreating medic before focusing on me.

"Come." the leader said before he held out his hand which I immediately jumped onto trustingly, a soft exhale coming from the 'Bot before he rose to his full height and moved towards the building.

"Whoa." I whispered as I looked down at all the bustling soldiers moving beneath us quickly, the Autobots expertly moving around the small humans as they went about their own business.

"And who is this?" a nasally voice barked out that reminded me of a crazy old cat lady that I lived by once, both Optimus and I turning to the catwalk to the left of us and seeing a lady in a suit.

"Who are you?" I said curiously as I leaned forward in Optimus' hand a bit before he cradled me to his chest, the lady glaring at me coldly before looking up at Prime with an expectant eyebrow raised.

"Who is this, Prime?" she said as she crossed her arms over her chest in an attempt to be intimidating, her heeled foot tapping the metal floor of the catwalk as she immediately became impatient.

"This is Aileen O'Brien. She saved my life. Unfortunately, she has lost-" Optimus started before the rude lady interrupted him and waved her hands quickly, soldiers and Autobots alike stopping to see the confrontation starting to happen.

"I don't care what she did, I want to know why she's here without clearance." she barked out as the lowered her glasses and looked at us from the top of them, her thin skin blushing as her anger got the best of her causing her to glare at us angrily.

"Hey, you don't have a right to treat him like that. He along with his team has given everything they had to protect us, and all we've ever did was give them grief. The least you should be doing is kissing his ass for saving our own without asking for anything in return." I said as I leaned closer to the catwalk from Optimus' hand with a glare on my face, my tone sharp and my body tense as I refrained from launching myself through mid-air at the woman. She merely sputtered at the though that I actually stood my ground against her firmly, Lennox and Epps walking up to her with amused expressions as Optimus shifted.

"Breath Mearing, we got alot of shit on our plate already. Leave the girl be, she's the least of our problems." Lennox said as he grabbed her shoulders firmly and led her away from me with a grim expression, Epps winking at me before he followed his friend and the woman down and off the catwalk.

"Damn femme, you got some guts. I like you." I heard a deep voice from below me causing me to look over Optimus hand on curiosity, seeing the same silver mech from before on the tarmac when I ran by him in excitement.

"Everybody does babyboy." I said as I rested my hand in my hand and sent a wink down to him with a smirk, his eyes becoming wide as he more than likely just realized I was flirting with him.

"Enough Aileen, you're going to give the youngling a glitch." Ratchet said as he led away the silver mech with a hidden laugh as he looked at me, Optimus shifting again as Ratchet glanced at him before disappearing out the door.

"What's a glitch?" I said as I looked up at Optimus as he slowly moved to leave the hanger as well, an amused rumble moving through him as he smiled at me before kneeling down outside.

"It is...complicated." he said as he transformed into his semi-truck form and the passenger door swung open, my eyebrow rising in confusion as I climbed into the truck and settled into the passenger seat. A man suddenly appeared in the driver seat as soon as I buckled my seatbelt, a gasp leaving me as I jumped back in fright at the stranger in the cab with me.

"What the hell?" I said as I clutched at my chest where my heart was beating rapidly at the scare, the man turning his head to show a bright blue gaze focusing on me intensely.

"This is a holoform." the man said as I heard Optimus' voice come out of his mouth as he spoke softly, my eyes widening as I leaned closer with amazed eyes and searched his body. He was wearing tight blue jeans and a tight dark blue v-neck with short sleeves, dark brown cowboy boots on his feet and a matching leather jacket with red flames on the sleeves. Long black straight hair reached his shoulder and slightly covered his gaze and ears, said gaze an electric piercing blue set between a strong brow and sharp cheekbones. A hint of stubble was on his chiseled jaw connecting to his trimmed muttonchops, his large hands that were on the steering wheel strong and thick with slight hair. Beneath the tight clothes he wore you could see the muscled body hiding as if shy, his pecs and torso chiseled with muscle and his legs thick with muscle while his arms were hiding. But just that little bit was enough to make any woman swoon and get hot and bothered, me included if I was being honest with myself.

"Damn Optimus, you trying to get attention everywhere you go?" I said with a wink as I languidly ran my gaze up and down his body just to emphasize my words, the...holoform's cheeks turning a deep red as he started fidgeting and looked away from me to the steering wheel.

"I...am uncertain to what exactly you are implying." he said as he looked at me curiously and forgot his embarrassment for the moment, my eyes rolling as I looked away and looked down at my own tore up clothes with a grimace.

"Just drive Prime." I said as I tilted my head back and closed my eyes.
