Hi, I have one more sorry to update before I can go to bed. I will update it too. Hope you like it.
I took him back over to our corner and sat down before placing him on my leg so we could talk.
"Sam, what bothers you?" I asked. He looked up at me in surprise.
"Nothing." he lied, looking ashamed.
"Sam, I know there's something on your mind. And I'm afraid it's what I think it is. Just starting at the bottom, we aren't going to leave you on this planet when we leave just because you didn't tell us before hand. Next, we aren't going to force you to come so we can haul you off to Cybertron. Just because you r the All Spark doesn't mean Optimus's obsession over free choice doesn't apply. You know it dose. You can still stay if you want' or come with us if you want."
He looked down and I knew this, or close to it, was what he was worried about. "I know. I'm just paranoid."
"You don't seem completely un-paranoid yet. We won't forget who you are just because of what you are. And I also don't plan on letting you go anywhere alone," By alone I mean without me, "until we have Starscream caught."
"I kind of figured that." He looked up at me. "And I also figured you wanted to know more."
"Naturally. You are my charge." He looked surprised at the word. I had taken on the title of his guardian. I wanted others to know I had some relation to him and wasn't just some giant alien robot best friend. "And I want to know all I need to." He smiled and nodded, willing to give me this information.
For the next few hours we talked, I learned of the little things, and all the while, his blood slowly began to radiate All Spark energy. Before I knew it, it was night and he was getting tired. People had started to power their systems down and I decided to follow their example.
The next day, I brought Sam to get his breakfast.
"Oh, they're back." Ironhide, who had come over to talk with us, looked toward the human entrance. Sure enough, a variety of people came through, and you could tell it was a group assembled to try and take Sam once again. I looked down to see Sam was finishing up.
"Ok, they came way too early this time." He sighed, walking over to dispose of his bowl and spoon before heading back over to me. I quickly lifted him up and walked over to where conferences were to be healed until our base was finished. The humans all got settled, there were some new ones this time, actually, I think the only one that had come before was Lennox. He was head of NEST and requested to be in these meetings on our behalf.
"I don't think that is necessary. We have a seat for Samuel." A lady motioned to a seat near child services. I only paused in my putting the boy on my shoulder. I adjusted me armor to be sure he wouldn't fall and was comfortable.
"I think it is." I sat down to be more eye level with them, the Autobot-human conference room at the NEST base was to be made so we could stand and they would be about eye level.
She gave me a look, but didn't object being as she was too intimidated. "We have come to further discuss the placement of Samuel Witwicky."
"What else is there to discuss?" I was no diplomatic; I was just a scout that has taken over the responsibility of caring for this boy and being his guardian. "He is staying with me."
"Excuse me, but this time, we wish to speak with the boy personally." she glanced at me, then at Sam. "You are actually not needed at this meeting."
"Well I'm certainly not leaving." I said. There's no way I'm leaving him to the demise of these government people. She ignored me and addressed Sam.
"What is your view? What is your personal preference? You can either stay with the aliens, we can find your parents, or you can go to a foster home."
"Well, how do you even know my parents are alive?" He asked.
"Do you know?" a new guy asked.
"Yes. They kicked me out. I want to stay with Bee and the Autobots." He said, trying to make it clear he did want this.
"Now that we know this, which doesn't mean a thing, give me reasons not to take you off to a home." the mech, man, glared at my- the boy. I did recognize him from the last, he didn't like us.
"Well, my parents kicked me out, so I can't go back there. It's child abuse waiting to happen." I flinched, never going to happen. "Why can't I stay with the Autobots?"
"They are aliens. Aliens taking care of a human. You tell me." the first femme, woman, said.
"They can take care of me perfectly fine. Bee has been. I've been with them for about two weeks." He said. I suddenly remembered how he was when I first found him. Scared of everything, untrusting. I was happy I had not stopped working with him. For now he was acting as though he knew us his whole life.
"Two weeks? But they only landed on Earth a week ago." the man objected.
"Well, I' uh, met them before then."
"How?" he asked. "Abduction?" He was trying to get dirt on us.
"Well, uh, kinda. But not by the Autobots. By the Decepticons."
"But there haven't been any recorded of any meteorites for months before this." And I know they would have researched this.
"It was a year ago. The Autobots rescued me when the Decepticons took me to their home planet. Bee found me and since then, he's been taking care of me."
"Right, about your parents. Would you care to explain why your parents kicked you out?"
"Uh, will you take top secret?" he didn't want humans to know. "Why don't we stay on topic?"
They wrote something down and eyed Sam. We haven't heard the last of that.
"Why should we dub an alien fit to take care of a human?" She asked.
"Well, he is my guardian." Sam paused, "Do you know how old I am?"
"How old are you?" he man asked.
"I'm 17. Almost old enough to live on my own. Seriously, if you put me in a home, I'm moving out the day I turn 18 and moving in with the Autobots."
"But until then, you are underage and we have no reason to let you stay with these aliens. The law states you must have a parent figure, someone with custody of you."
"Let me say this slowly." He said the ext words slowly. "Bumblebee is my guardian." he spoke normally again. "He isn't a parent figure, if anything he's like an older brother, but he's my guardian. You have no reason not to let me stay." This seemed to take down all the points they had.
"Alright. We will schedule another one of these next week. We have something else we need to do." more like they need more time to think of a reason to take him from me. Why do they hate us so much?
I cycled my vents and stood up as they all made to leave.
"Hey, kid." I paused to look at Lennox, he was talking to Sam. "Good job."
"Thanks." he smiled. I raised a hand to take him off my shoulder and put him next to Will so they could talk. "You want to know about before we landed, don't you?"
"You know it. But don't tell me anything if you don't want to. I'm also curious as to why your folks kicked you out."
"Sorry, I really don't want to talk about that. But I am getting hungry, how long was that?"
"Only about thirty minutes. Didn't you just eat?"
"Uh, yeah. But I didn't eat too much. Cut short for this." He walked back over to me. I lifted him up. I could tell he wanted away from the questions. "See you later." Will waved before turning to go.
"Nice." I commented.
"I thought so. I hope I don't have to do that again. They are really annoying." He sighed and leaned back. I took us over to the rec part of the larger room that was thoroughly giving me the creeps, this was the room Megatron had been healed in, and it was still cold.
Sam shivered a bit as we walked past the center, where Megatron was, and I shifted him closer to my spark and heated my systems.
Everything was going well, I had to say. So far they were failing at taking my human away and our base was doing tremendous progress. I sat down near the human entertainment area, video games, board games, books, stuff like that. Sam went over to get a book and came back over to me. I expected things to go well, until I overheard Ironhide and Optimus's conversation. The first to be expected to come are Skids and Mudflap. That won't strengthen our relationship with the humans.
But more importantly, our vacation from the two had just been cut short.
I hoped you liked it. I'm sorry for not updating yesterday, I plan to have another chapter up today, along with my other three's next chappys. R&R
