Boti: I had no inspiration for this chapter until today. Which really was absolutely nothing. I just felt like writing and an idea pushed its way to the front of my mind. So let's go!

And DemontaDark, was your screaming a good scream or a bad scream. I was a little confused. Anyways, I gotta shut up...

Golden Rule: NO FLAMES! All flamers will be publically mocked. And believe me, I'm that mean. But nice reviews are appreciated and loved!

Disclaimer: Me no owny blaka blaka blaka yadada! Damn...

Chapter Seven

"Hallie? Hal, can you hear me?" (nickname is pronounced like hail)

I groaned as I finally opened my eyes, my head throbbing once again. Damn it, why did I have to faint? I never faint unless for a good reason and what could...oh yeah. Prime's my paps.

"Hallie."

"I'm here, Ratch," I whispered, trying to keep my voice from making my head pound. After a few seconds, I was able to focus on Ratchet, who was using his human holoform for once. I had seen it from a distance a few times, which was still rare, but even then, I liked it. And now, being able to study his features, I found that I liked it even more.

"Hello handsome," I grinned at the holoform. His black hair was messy but still kept trimmed, his physique looked almost sculpted, and his arms were buffed (though not to the point of overdone). Not exactly what I had pictured his body to be but it was absolutely perfect.

The one thing that slightly ruined the picture was his glasses. They weren't all that noticeable, kinda like Superman Clarke Kent, but a muscular man made to look a bit nerdy? Come on now.

"Done examining me with your optics?"

"Eyes, Ratch. Humans call them eyes," I corrected while trying to sit up. It was a bit difficult since Ratchet didn't want to help me. Of course, his excuse would be for us to strengthen our bodies instead of remaining sissies. Okay, the sissy part is mine but that was basically how it sounded to me.

"Of course," silence greeted us as I stood by the bed, keeping my arms out for balance. My new body quickly adjusted to the new position and my center of gravity was quickly discovered. So, walking became easy almost instantly. Thank Primus. Crap, twin speech.

"How's Prime?" I found myself asking as Ratchet disappeared, only to reappear several feet taller. And not human at all but I didn't care. He was a sexy mech!

"Still shocked and yet accepting. He had always considered you a daughter, especially when punishments for you fell to him," Ratchet placed his hand on the counter where I was located and I crawled onto his hand. He looked at me up and down, obviously checking for anything else that needed medical attention.

"I'm fine," I protested when he went to reach for something. He sighed, knowing that I wasn't going to need an immediate fixing. Not like I battle Decepticons anymore. Just Galloway (I gave up calling him the other).

"Dingle berry been by recently?"

"He left 3 minutes 25 seconds before your awakening. Said he wanted to speak with you privately, which was immediately declined. If he wants to speak with you, then Prime or I will be present at all times," Ratchet huffed as he turned toward the doors, "I don't trust him."

"So that's what I get to do? I get to talk to him now?"

"Unfortunately. He had learned about the poison somehow."

"Skids and Mudflap?"

"Yes," the word was dragged out in a long sigh as Ratchet made his way through the corridors. I did the same, only sighing and not speaking. I didn't want to speak with Galloway. Who knows what kind of bull he'll spin to get me strapped to a table.

~WWWWWWWWWW~

"And I said no. I'm not some freak experiment. I was shot in the god damn leg!" I screamed at the damn government official. They were trying to pin the Autobots with experimenting on humans. Which was absolutely bull shit.

"But Decepticons have plasma cannons or whatever they are called. You would be blown to smitherians, not standing here changed," Galloway sneered at me. I sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of my nose before standing up. I placed my chair next to him and brought my foot up to rest on it. Before anyone could say anything, I pulled my pant leg all the way up to my thigh (thank god I shaved today) and showed the scar.

"And that bright orange scar isn't proof that I was shot with a strange alien bullet?" I spat. Galloway looked at the scar for a moment before huffing in defeat. But I knew that I wasn't done yet.

"Well, we have a sample of that poison and the bullet that was removed from your body. We will need to run tests and such with you as a... idea of what will happen," Galloway looked at me as I backed away from him. How the hell did he get a sample of the poison?

Before I could deny his statement, large hands landed on the ground in front of me. I looked up and saw Ratchet leaning over me, his optics daring the human to try. I hadn't expected Ratchet to act so rash but with it just being Prime here with us, Ratchet could announce whatever he wanted without fear of it spreading to Ironhide or the others.

"Not all humans will change. A very small margin will. I ran my own tests and found that she was able to change but the reason for it is unknown. Only when others change will I be able to pinpoint the exact reason. But I doubt that will ever happen," Ratchet looked like an animal eyeing its prey as Galloway stumbled away from him. He looked at me then back to the medic before looking at me again.

"You're dating," it wasn't a question. Just a statement of fact as I nodded. Galloway didn't seem all that surprised. Of course, I am now Cybertronian therefore it would only make sense to hook up with another Cybertronain.

"My answer remains the same. No, I will not help you test this poison on others. No, I will not go so you can analyze my body. And no, I will not help you pin the Autobots with something that they couldn't control," I turned my back on him and walked away. I heard Galloway yell out that he was going to get me somehow, but I didn't listen. He was a prick and I hope to Primus and God that someone puts him out. Before he puts out the others.
