Siren Song

Chapter 4 - Awkward, Simply Awkward

If I had learned one thing from Siren that night, it was; sometimes necessary to turn on some fake charm. Sure I wasn't some curvy, tall rouge convertible, but how hard could it be? After all, I actually knew my targets much better than she knew them.

Before I continue; I just want to say how horribly embarrassing it is to write about this aspect of the night. I would even go so far as to skip mentioning this or make something up if Optimus hadn't said that every detail I remembered about the night was important in my report. I still can't believe I did this… this has to be illegal; at least by earth standards it must be. Do the ends ever truly justify the means?

I started things off by clinging to Jetfire's leg and trying to imitate that annoying pout-y tone of Siren's "I want to know the big secret Jetfire."

He seemed more confused than anything and for a second I started to wonder that maybe I didn't have the situation figured out after all; those were an awkward few seconds.

"We must be telling her brother!"

"But we cannot we promised Siren!"

"Promised Siren what Jetstorm?"

"That we wouldn't tell about the-" Bumblebee slid in front of the twins

"No! She was my friend first I'm telling her!"

Suddenly it didn't seem like getting everyone to talk was the hard part; no the hard part was getting them to talk one-at-a-time. I think it's just best if I skip all the awkward things that were said and never need be repeated. I'll just skip to the very end when Jetstorm told me everything I needed to know.

"But you'd tell a cute little technorganic flying femme any secret right?" I cannot believe I said that.

"Oh of course! Siren's name not really Siren!"

That was when Sentinel jumped into the picture; and I don't think all the sweet talking in the world would've gotten him on my side; besides I still had some pride in myself and I wasn't going to even dream of flirting with him.

"No you can't betray Siren! I'll have you dismantled!"

"For not helping a fugitive? Sentinel get your bolts straight and start doing your job." I sighed "It's okay Jetstorm, you should tell me everything you know. Unless; you're trying to say Siren is better than me, can she fly Jetstrom? Well can she?"

"No, no tiny flying technorganic is so much better than Siren!"

I laughed "That's what I like to hear; now you were saying about Siren's real name…?"

"It is Thunderblast. She is Decepticon; stole an Autobot shell, very dangerous; surprised she is not attacking us while we are weak." Of course Jetstorm said this as if he was talking about something not potentially very dangerous.

I figured her not attacking us but making so much trouble in the city was because she wasn't used to the body just yet.

"So then Jazz, was she arrested in an Autobot shell or Decepticon's?"

"Don't know if I'm supposed to let ya' in on this."

"But Jazz, you're my favorite Autobot. And all this time I thought you thought I was cute." Please, someone just kill me now.

"But you areeeeeee! When we arrested her she was in her original shell she must have switched after she broke out."

"I thought I was your favorite Autobot; I've known you longer!" Bumblebee stopped for a second before gasping "You've slept in my alt mode!"

I sighed trying to keep the 'sweetness' demeanor up "It's true, I know; I know. You are my favorite Autobot."

"HA! Take that you fraggers!"

"You're all my favorite Autobot," I paused for a second "Well Sentinel isn't included in that."

"Don't want to be; the only bot for me is Siren; and with the rest of you out of the way well that just makes things easier for me!"

"But her name's not even really Siren."

"Don't care." he was being more of a pompous idiot than normal; I was glad to see him go.

"We don't need you anyway; now that I've got everyone else on my side," I paused for a second to work on the pout-y optics trick Thunderblast had been using earlier "You guys are on my side right."

Cue the collective; and slightly disturbing "Yes of course we will follow you to the end of the universe!"

"Jetfire, Jetstorm; do either of you know the bot who's shell Thunderblast is using?"

"Yes her name was Firestar;"

"We were never in notice that she was pretty until now."

"Right then, but even if it is another bot's body there a new rule. You can't call her pretty anymore. She's just a robo-slut; you guys don't even know where that thing's been even if she hasn't had this particular body for a while."

The guys seemed to understand this rule and with in a few minutes were saying she was ugly to boot, the power of persuasion is amazing!

"So what were Firestar's powers like?"

"Mostly magnetic, and she was fast too but that's about the only bizz' I knew of her powers."

I nodded and turned to Ratchet "So Doc Bot' what do you have to combat that? We can't have a bad Decepticon tearing up Detroit now can we?" KILL ME RIGHT NOW JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY!

Ahem…

He nodded and went straight to work on him EMP generator. "It'll shut them down completely for at least three to five solar cycles."

"Awesome! Now is there anyway we can undo what she did to you guys?"

Jazz casually nodded "Yeah we got a remedy on the ship… but I don't want it this is stellar!"

I sighed "And that sentence is exactly why we're heading straight over there to give it to you before we go after her again."

Now if only it could be so easy; ushering a bunch of love-sick mechs to an Autobot sized spaceship in downtown Detroit that is.

Naturally Sentinel and Si- I mean Thunderblast were there to stop us.

"Sariiiii! What do I do? I really like her!"

"But Bumblebee I thought you liked me! You've known me longer." yes I said this with the pout-y attitude and everything. Gag me with a spoon.

Every single one of them looked like a zombie; and I couldn't help but wonder, "Is this where protoforms come from?"

"Aww come on you guys, come to Siren."

"Your name's not Siren!" I yelled and glanced at the others, obviously taken in by her; yet again.

"But she's so pretty; I don't care what her name is." Hearing Prowl say things like this is the stuff my nightmares are now made of!

"Prowl!" I couldn't think of anything else to do but cling to his leg – this was beyond humiliating. "I thought I was cool and interesting!"

"But she's sexy."

MY NIGHTMARES SPAWN FROM HERE I SWEAR THEY DO.

"But I'm adorable right? Besides! I saved your spark when we first met." I glanced around and noticed the others didn't seem to be paying me attention besides Prowl "and besides, you're a cooler ninja-bot than Jazz."

"Really?"

"Really! I'd place my bets on you in a fight. Bumblebee once said he'd have to go with Jazz because he's elite guard but you're just so much more of an obvious winner."

With Prowl back on my side I had to think fast about how to get everyone else back too/ "Come on guys! I'll cry if you take her side." You know, that wasn't entirely untrue… a bit of a stretch but there's only so much annoyances one little technorganic can take in on night.

And now everyone but Sentinel seemed to be back under my control, even though Jazz and the Jet Twins couldn't possibly know what crying was.

Sentinel was ready to fight to defend his- "Love" and suddenly I felt like I was in that old Pokemon show.

"Ratchet, even if it's not fine tuned go a head and aim your E.M.P. for Sire- I mean Thunderblast! Optimus, you Bumblebee, and Prowl keep Sentinel Busy! Bulkhead, Jetfire, Jetstorm you guys stay on hold to take down Thunderblast if the E.M.P. doesn't do that for us; if it does go help stop Sentinel. Jazz your ship's not far is it?" he shook his head "Good then, go get that remedy and get back here !"

"Bumblebee use your thundershock!" okay even in that situation I really couldn't resist. Don't judge me! It had been a long, disturbing night.

Everything seemed to be going perfectly according to plan, Ratchet's E.M.P. not only capped off Thunderblast's magnets but it also knocked her out, then after throwing a pair of stasis cuff on her; just to be safe everyone went after Sentinel.

The thing was, Optimus was about to put a pair of stasis cuffs on Sentinel; when Jazz came back announcing he brought what I asked him to bring; I gave an order for Ratchet to see to use it on himself; after which I had to explain to him to use it on Sentinel before everyone else since Sentinel was causing the major problems.

I only turned my attention away for one second to make sure Siren was secure; and that's when I blacked out.

So when I was coming to, I already had a pretty good guess of what happened; but everyone else made a point to tell me why I blacked out.

Can you guess why?

Can you really guess why I blacked out?

Those damn stasis cuffs! Sentinel knocked them away from Optimus and they just happened to fall directly over me! This was just not my night.

So, Sentinel apparently knocked the cuffs around the moment that Ratchet gave him with the antidote – or whatever. So yeah; he was probably in his right mind when he did that. Yeah needless to say; I was quite inconsolable for the rest of the night; which also happened to be very early in the morning; I got to watch the sun rise as I tried to explain the details of the night to them. None of them could remember a thing! Well besides Prowl who I should mention is a faker! A horribly cruel faker! So I basically had to deal with Sentinel's first-time reactions to me twice!

Yes somewhat empty threats were made, yes the blame for the night was pinned on bot after bot, and yes I did tell Sentinel Prime to go lick Unicorn's rusty gears. (Bumblebee taught me that insult.) Disrespectful? Well yes, yes it was but I think any bot of a sound processor could see my frustration at this point! Did my comment stop him from making more comments and acting like a total slag-head? No, no it did not!

Now I could always agree with the report sent in by whatever undercover agent you've got on earth now. I could always say that in that last confrontation Sentinel Prime was aiding a Decepticon fugitive; but the big guy was right to tell me not to write such a thing. Even if Sentinel Prime is a big scared-y cat jerk! He did not aid a fugitive knowingly; he's only guilty of being too scared of organics to have been manipulated by me into doing the right thing.

I hope you've enjoyed reading this poor attempt at a report more than I enjoyed living that night. I know it's far from formal and probably filled with human-y things that you don't understand at all; or that I didn't explain. Someone had to write a report of the situation to bail out Sentinel's sorry aft, that someone also had to have had a clear head and good memory of the night and that someone just so happened to be me.

So closing remarks:

Thunderblast, I want you to take that robo-slut, get her back in her original shell and dismantle her! Show no mercy!

Sentinel, he's an idiot; I hate him… why am I helping him? Honestly, I don't really know.

Stasis cuffs, they border line cruel and unusual punishment for tiny technorganics. I say they get a remodeling.

I will end this message now for my friends owe me at least a week's worth of ice-cream, free rides all over Detroit, crazy stunts that one can only pull off with an Autobot, round after round of Keytar Hero, and whatever else I can think of. This will only begin to make up for that horrible night.

Technorganic; Sari Sumdac.

After reading the last part of the report Ultra Magnus was able to get the main point about Sentinel not actually being a traitor; however, he was beyond confused for the most part. Perhaps next time he'd just listen to the agent's opinion of the situation even if it did peg Sentinel Prime as a traitor it wouldn't cause a processor ache. Hopefully the technorganic never pursued a career in writing.

Again thanks everyone who's faved/alerted/read/reviewed/anything I've left out here. I kinda liked writing in this POV so maybe I'll do it again sometime.

As for Thunderblast... go look the character up... on TF wiki. I decided around chapter 2 that it would be boring is Siren was really Siren... and well isn't it in teh spirit of TFA to do a tie in to anther series?
