Chapter 4
"Optimus…" Ratchet said, approaching the Autobots leader.
"What is it Ratchet?" Optimus asked.
"I've just finished running scan's on Halo."
"Is there something wrong with her?" Optimus asked, worried for the human.
"Well, not that I can see, except, well, she seems to have the energy of the All Spark inside her, and I don't know how that will affect her in the long run. There's also another type of energy that seems to have been with her, her entire life in her body. That doesn't seem to be any problem though."
"The energy of the All Spark? At what level?"
"The exact same."
"So she's basically the new All Spark?"
"For now, yes, but like I said, I don't know how it will affect her in the long term. Right now, she seems to be coping, but I don't know if it will last."
"What do you propose we do?" He asked.
"I say that we just keep a regular monitor of her vital signs." Ratchet answered. "I managed to get hold of her records, she appeared out of no where a few weeks ago, after disappearing years ago. Her statement to the police says that her childhood wasn't the best. I don't think that she should have to deal with the knowledge of the true extent of the energy inside her."
"But she will know that she healed Jazz, or brought him back from off lining at least." Optimus said.
"Yes, but what if we just tell her that healing is the limit. At least for now. She deserves a chance at a normal life."
"You're right, Ratchet. But the others need to be informed." Optimus said.
"I'll go get them." Ratchet said. He found the newly repaired Bumblebee with Sam, Mikayla, Lennox and Epps, and then he found Jazz sitting next to Ironhide who was sitting protectively over the still sleeping Halo. He helped Jazz get onto Ironhide's truck bed when Ironhide had shifted into alt mode and then they all rejoined Optimus and he and Ratchet explained what was happening.
"She's a new All Spark?" Ironhide asked.
"Yes. But we've decided to not let her know the full extent of her powers for now." Optimus said. "Like Ratchet said, she deserves the chance at a normal life."
"That's a good idea." Ironhide agreed.
"She mentioned earlier several attempts on her life by the man who killed her parents." Bumblebee said. "The way she said it was as if she was expecting him to show up."
"We'll have to make sure those stop." Jazz said. "Can't have people attempting to kill her, can we?"
"Definitely not." Optimus agreed. "Bumblebee, is it possible for you to keep an eye on both her and Sam?"
"She lives just across the road, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Good. If we hear of anything that could indicate an attack on Halo, then we'll be there in no time, but for now, there's no need to think that they will be coming after her here. They couldn't even know where she is."
Draco sat at a desk, studying the spell he would need. He, Hermione, the twins, Neville, Luna, Bill and Charlie were all learning it. He believed he had it down to perfection. He could do it. As well as the other spell. He stood, and pocketed the small book. Halo had to be warned and he would be the first to go find her. And he would go tonight.
Halo woke up slowly. She felt her new energy, rushing through her veins. It was at the same levels, but it was not overwhelming to her now. Halo rubbed her eyes, and then ran a hand through her hair as she woke up.
She looked round, and her eyes landed on Ironhide. "Morning." She said, groggily.
"It's more like afternoon." Ironhide said. "How are you feeling?"
"A little tired, but that's it. Nothing I can't cope with. I've come out of fights with far worse than a little tiredness before."
"Well, I had still better get Ratchet. Wait here. He'll want to see you before you do anything."
Halo inwardly groaned as he left. She hated being examined. It was never because she was sick. It was always because someone had tried to hurt her.
Ironhide was soon back with Ratchet who ran some scans on Halo. "Well, you seem to be fine, apart from some mild fatigue."
"So, I'm fine? No side affects?"
"None."
"Bloody hell, that's a first." She muttered.
Ratchet and Ironhide chuckled at that, and she pushed herself to her feet. She stretched before asking the main question on her mind. "So, how is Jazz and the others?"
"Jazz is on the mend, Bumblebee is all fixed, and the others are all fine. They got off very well." Ratchet said.
"Good to hear. Any idea what I did?"
"We believe some of the energy from the cube fed back into you, allowing you the ability to heal Jazz. I believe you still have that power."
"Just heal?"
"Apparently." Ratchet said.
Halo nodded. "So, where are the others?"
"This way." Ironhide said.
She followed the two Autobots, and saw the others in another hanger. They seemed to be on an old military airstrip. An abandoned one.
Everyone was there, and Halo's eyes landed on her Impala.
"Who brought my car?" She asked.
"I did." Lennox said. "It was a nice drive."
"I know." Halo said nodding. "Sirius left it to me, along with others, with a note saying he fixed it up." In other words, it could also fly if she needed it to.
"Your Godfather seems like a good mechanic."
"Oh he was." Halo said, thinking about the bike back in her old world. "So, what now?"
"Now, you can all go home." Optimus said. "The Deceptacons are gone now. It's safe for you to return."
"Well, that's good news." Sam said.
"It's going to be a bitch to catch up with the school work." Halo said.
"If you say that then I'm dreading it." Sam muttered.
Mikayla laughed.
"Trust me, she's the one who knows university standard work. If she's worried, we should be."
"It's only a few days, Sam." Mikayla said.
"Yes, but how far in the courses have the class gone?" Halo asked, as she grabbed Sam's wrist, and looked at his watch. "How many hours drive from home are we?"
"Three." Optimus answered.
"Well, if we go tonight, we can get back before the sun sets." Halo said.
"That's probably a wise idea." Lennox said, "Before people start to really wonder where you've gone."
"We'll see you to the highway." Optimus said.
The Autobots all transformed, except Jazz, and Halo caught hold of her keys, which Lennox had thrown at her. She climbed into her Impala, which she had chosen from the collection because of her love for Supernatural, and she followed Bumblebee, who had Sam and Mikayla out of the hanger.
The Autobots left her, Sam Mikayla and Bee after they reached the highway, and then they were on their own. Halo was quick to put on one of her favourite CD's and soon she was listening to ACDC highway to hell.
"I'm on a highway to hell!" She sang, when it reached the chorus. She spent the journey singing along to songs, while driving.
The sun was just setting as she drove up her drive and killed the engine. She locked the car behind her, and entered her home. She heard someone moving round, and gripped hold of a well placed baseball bat. Someone was looking round her house, and she raised her bat, and hit them across the back, and they fell to the ground with a pained cry. She turned a light on, and she saw a familiar blonde.
"Draco?" She gasped. He turned round, and pushed himself up.
"Yes it's me. What the hell was that for?"
"I just knew that there was someone strange wandering round my house!" Halo said.
"Sorry about that." He said.
"And I'm sorry about hitting you with a baseball bat!" She said hugging him. He hissed, and she went back. "Oh, come and sit down."
They sat down on the sofa, and she was ready to start her interrogation. "Draco, what are you doing here?"
"Everyone knows what the veil does now. And the spell to control when you land in this world. But the thing is, Fudge is sending people after you, so is Voldemort, and so is Dumbledore, but they'll all be looking for you here. You can be safe at home. At least, for a while."
Halo stood and began pacing. "Draco, in the last several weeks, over a month now, nearly two, this place has become my home." She said.
"But what about the Wizarding world?"
"I'm nothing really to most people there, Draco, you know that. Just someone to fight Voldemort, or a scapegoat. I cant go back, and you know it."
"But-"
"Draco, please!" She begged. "I have a life here. One that's better than anything I dreamed of." Tears leapt to her eyes. "I can't give it up! I just can't!"
"Alright, but why don't I stay for a while?" He asked. "See what this new life of yours is."
"Alright." She said, sitting down. "We'll have to come up with a story for you though."
He nodded and they began to plan. After a few hours they decided he would be Drake Lewis, one of the few friends she'd had in her old life. When they were done, Halo ordered Chinese take away, which Draco discovered he loved, and then Halo prepared the spare room, where Draco would stay while he was here.
Before she got to go to bed though, she got a call.
"Halo, you there?" Came the voice of Lennox.
"Yeah Lennox, I am."
"You get home alright?"
"Fine. I got an unexpected visitor, but nothing bad. He was one of my few friends, really. Before, I mean."
"Well, is he safe to be around?"
"Perfectly, look, I'm going to go, I'm shattered, and I'm going to bed."
"Goodnight, Halo."
"Goodnight, Lennox." She said.
She went to bed that night, so tired that she brushed the pain in her scar away as being a headache from tiredness.
