Boti: Welcome back my friends. And if you like it and want to keep reading it, then review because the more reviews I get, the faster the next chappy comes up. The less, the slower. Sorry, but I want reviews. My others aren't getting a lot which is why I haven't updated them and it's a little depressing...
Disclaimer: For the four hundredth time, I don't own Transformers or any songs that I randomly add to the chapters. The song part is just a heads up if I start adding them to the chapters.

Chapter Four
Music blared from the med bay and Ratchet was gone, so I didn't really care. I was stuck in here, working on Jazz to just try and keep busy. He was almost perfect, except he wasn't online. Ratchet said he may have found a way to revive him but it was a long shot. Still, I listened to my favorite song, using it as a second distraction.
Hold it together
Birds of a feather
Nothing but liars
And crooked wings
I have the answer
Spreading the cancer
You are the faith
Inside me
I cringed inwardly as I realized that I got a little off key. Still, after crying nearly all night, who could blame my voice being a little off. And I felt weird as I sang, like something was shooting through my arms. But Ratchet said I would have a few bursts of electicity running through me every now and then, so I just kept singing.
And oohhh
Don't
Leave me to die here
Help me survive here
And oohhh
Don't remember
Remember
Crap, another missed note. I wonder what Jazz would think if he were still online. I wanted to meet him and I heard he was a music fan and he would probably be wailing me if I kept missing notes. But my voice was strained so give me a break.
Put me to sleep
Evil Angel
Open your wings
Evil angel
Oh
I'm a believer
Nothing could be worse
All these
Imaginary friends
Hiding betrayal
Driving the nail
Hoping to find
A savior
For some reason, my eyes burned from fresh tears at that. Casey had been avoiding me and when I caught her, she screamed at me. Said she didn't want to turn into a freak like me. And that really hurt. But like the line said, I'm hiding betrayal and hoping to find a savior.
And oohh
Don't
Leave me to die here
Help me survive here
Well oohh
Don't
Surrender
Surrender
Put me to sleep
Evil Angel
Open your wings
Evil Angel
Oh
Fly over me
Evil angel
Why can't I breath
Evil angel
Never missed a note. Awesomeness but I also didn't realize that I had a listener. It really didn't dawn on me, even when I looked at Jazz's face and saw two blue optics staring at me.
Put me to sleep
Evil angel
Open your wings
Evil angel
Oh
Fly over me
Evil angel
Why can't I breath
Evil angel
After another guitar solo and music, the song ended and I sat back, rubbing the energon tears off my face. My skin was resistant to it so I never got burned. But it was still awkward to cry a fluid that wasn't clear.
"Not bad. I'm sure if you hadn't been crying, you would have been better."
Stomping feet met my ears as I screamed, jumping back from the blue optics staring at me. Of course, in my stupidity, I also happened to unintentionally jump off the berth, but the hand of Jazz, the one mech we were trying to revive, caught me as the med bay doors opened.
"Jazz?"
"One and only. What's going down?" Jazz replied as he set me down on the counter. All that was going through my mind was Oh my god I had an audience as Prime hugged his second officer. I could feel the joy in the air but I also felt eyes on me as another bot turned off the music.
"Hallie, how did you revive him?" Prime was watching me as I broke down. I felt like screaming. How the hell did I revive him? All I was doing was singing and working on him.
"I...I don't know. I was just trying to finish fixing the rest of the injuries and singing. That's all," I stared at my grease covered hands as Ratchet approached me. He did another scan, probably checking for any more changes, before lowering his head to my level.
"Did you feel something different about you?" he asked me. I contemplated his question for a moment before nodding once. I started to explain that as I was singing, the electricity that flowed through my body was stronger and it was focused around my arms. I just thought it was normal.
"Did you ever think of Jazz?"
"Um, yeah. I thought how he was going to beat me senseless for missing some notes cause I remembered someone saying he was a music fan," I answered. That got Ratchet thinking as he looked at Prime, obviuosly sending some private comm to him. Prime, in turn, had that same look of sending a comm to Ratchet.
"Interesting," Ratchet looked at me. "It seems your thoughts had somehow acted as a reviving mechanism. You wanted to meet him and therefore, you reactivated him."
"Thank you, Hallie," Prime looked at me as I stared at him. I felt a little weird with Prime, Ratchet, Jazz, and...
"When did Bumblebee get here? Oh, sorry. You're welcome, sir," I changed my sentence since I saw Ironhide walk by the doors. He had continued to glare at me but his glare changed to shock when he saw a silver bot looking back.
"Yo, Ironhide. How's the explosives?"
"Jazz? Ratchet did it?"
"No, that human chick revived me. I don't know the details but as I was saying..." Jazz's voice faded away as he walked with a shocked Ironhide down the hall. Prime quickly followed out, which had me looking at Ratchet confused. Bubblebee walked up to me, patting my head before doing the same.
"Jazz was Prime's...boyfriend."
"Bonded, you mean?"
Ratchet sighed before nodding. He looked like hell for a mech as he pulled a massive chair up to the counter and collasped in it. His hands rested on the counter and I patted one before sitting on the counter top.
"That was weird," I said, trying to fill in the awkward silence. Ratchet looked at me, something in his optics telling me that he wanted to ask me something. But the look disappeared as he scanned me again.
"No changes yet. But I can sense your body's stress. Something is about to," he told me, looking away. I nodded as I stared at my hands. Sometime over night, my bones had changed to metal. According to Ratchet, the metal was the strongest form of Cybertronian metal. So I couldn't break any bones. Again, not so bad, and the heavy feeling of my body on human bones went away.
"Thank you for keeping me from disappointing Prime. He would have been devestated if I wasn't able to bring Jazz back," Ratchet still didn't look at me. Poor Ratch. He had been going under some hell by the government. Apparently, Galloway - ah crap, I mean - he-who-must-not-be-named found out about my changes. He wanted to put me under human eye but that meant poking and prodding things that didn't need to be poked or prodded. Ratchet's been refusing to tell them anything or how my changes were caused.
"I'm a mess, aren't I?"
Ratchet looked at me as I said that, seeing my sad eyes. I always seem to screw up. When I broke rules, I did it knowing what I was getting into. And when I didn't mean to screw up, I caused severe problems for everyone. And now Ratchet was being forced to protect me.
"It was not your fault. You didn't anticipate the poison."
"But it hurts me to know that you're the one having to clean up my mess."
"Why do I hurt you?"
Ah hell. I bit my tongue at that question, not wanting to tell him. I liked Ratchet...okay, who am I kidding. I love Ratch. He was such a kind mech, when he wasn't chasing another with a wrench or jumping your arse for not taking care of yourself. And he was encouraging me in his own weird little way. Which helped.
"Hallie?"
"Nothing, Ratchet," I finally spoke. For some reason he seemed a little upset but nothing else was said as we just sat there, allowing the silence to stretch out between us. That was until my stomach did that weird revving gurgle noise, which had Ratchet chuckling at me.
"Come on," he picked me up and took me away for lunch or dinner. Whatever time it was. I really hope I can adjust faster. Things are getting to damn complicated.
