Chapter 7
A New Identity
The next morning Optimus woke up before Adrianna. He looked to his chest seeing her curled up sleeping silently. He watched her sleeping peacefully and smiled a little bit. He didn't want to wake her, not knowing how she would react. He found out waking up Sam or Mikaela resulted in yelling at the face. So what he did was lay his head back down and waited for her to wake up…he did a scan over her body seeing she had not gotten much sleep in the past due to her job and her ex-boyfriend. He let out a tired sigh and watched her sleep.
After hours went by Adrianna finally woke up. She looked around where she was and stretched letting her back pop and other body parts that needed popped. Optimus watched her in satisfaction and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes actually…not everyday you sleep on the chest of a giant robot…but I actually slept peaceful…so what are we doing today?"
"Well…we need to change your identity completely….maybe get your haircut and let Mikaela do stuff to your hair so that people won't recognize you. Then Ironhide wants to give you target practice." he sighed.
Adrianna laughed a little bit and said, "Sounds like fun…so when does it start?"
"Right when you wake up." he replied and picked her up carrying her out of the room.
"Wait! I need to change!"
Optimus walked into a room where Mikaela had a breakfast waiting and asked, "Now do you think Optimus would let you start your day without breakfast?"
Adrianna looked at Mikaela and then up at Optimus who was smiling down at her. He laid his hand out on the floor to let her go to the table and eat her breakfast. He stood up to his full height and said, "Once you get finished eating go get dressed and come find me in the training room."
"Yes sir." she replied and sat down at the table.
Mikaela set down a plate in front of her and said, "You've had a tough time the past few days, so I thought I'd fix something."
"Well thank you. I really appreciate it, though you didn't have to do this."
"I know, but I wanted to. I thought it would be nice." she smiled at her.
Adrianna looked down at her plate full of eggs, grits, biscuits and a piece of sausage. Sam suddenly walked in and saw the huge breakfast on the table and his mouth started watering. Mikaela looked up and saw him walking into the room and smiled and asked, "Where have you been?"
"Um………..sleeping." he muttered.
Mikaela only laughed and said, "Here this is probably the first time and last time I fix this kind of breakfast in a long time so take advantage of it."
Sam eagerly sat at the table and started filling his plate and looked at Adrianna and asked, "So how did you sleep? I mean….sharing a room with a giant robot must be hard."
"I slept very nice actually…" she whispered and started eating her breakfast, "This is really good Mikaela."
"Thanks….I made this when I was at my grandma's and when I saw my dad…my dad loved this meal. Since this is full of nutrition I thought it would help you today with practice and everything."
"Well that was very sweet Mikaela. I'll have to fix you guys a secret family recipe…but crap….its in my house." she sighed.
Mikaela looked over at Sam and then at Mikaela and asked, "So what do you think about Optimus?"
"He is really nice. I really like him." she replied.
"Would you ever consider in dating him?" asked Sam.
Adrianna looked at Sam and then Mikaela and exclaimed, "I don't know the bot and plus we're not the same species."
Sam and Mikaela looked at one another and said, "Oh well…its okay to look onward to someone new. Ironhide is actually encouraging him to move to a different species because there are no longer females of their kind."
Adrianna looked at them and slowly started to eat her meal again. Once she finished she exited the room and got dressed. The conversation from earlier was still in her head. She threw off her pj's and then put on some sweat clothing that Sam had bought. Mikaela had gotten mad at him for doing so, but what Mikaela didn't know was that she needed clothing like this. She walked out of the room and slowly walked to the training room and saw the Autobots training very hard.
Her mouth fell open seeing many, many Autobots. She had never known there were so many. Of course she knew there were many of these alien creatures. She started walking in trying to avoid the training robots. Of course being close to a wall walking is not the best place to be. Two Autobots were fighting and one threw the other towards the wall. When the Autobots saw it was too late to stop. Adrianna's whole body went numb and she couldn't move. Just as the Autobot came near a giant hand quickly grabbed her and pulled her out of harm and held her to his chest.
Adrianna had her eyes tightly closed and was shaking all over. Optimus looked at everyone who had stopped practicing and said, "Practice is over now….go."
Everyone quickly left and Optimus gently held Adrianna in his hands making sure she was okay. After doing a quick scan over her fragile body he asked, "Are you okay?"
Adrianna quickly nodded her head and held tightly to him not wanting to be put down to where she could be almost squished. He looked down at her seeing she was gripping to his chest. He smiled a sad smile and gently rubbed her back. For someone so tuff and willing to do anything for someone, she was quite frightened out of her skin at the moment. He slowly held her out from his body and asked, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Y-y-yeah." she stuttered.
"Are you sure because we can do this tomorrow."
"I'll be okay…just let me get over the fact I was nearly squished."
"I'll punish them for that. I had told everyone that you were coming and to watch out for you…I'll have to punish them for that. I'm truly sorry for what had happened."
"Its okay…so who is going to train me?"
"I am." replied Optimus setting her down carefully on the ground. Adrianna slowly stepped away from him making sure that he had enough room to move around.
"Wait Optimus….you told me Ironhide was going to teach me."
Suddenly Ironhide walked in the room and said, "Yeah, I'm teaching you how to use guns while Optimus here will be teaching you some what you humans call 'cong fu' moves and the uses of the sword."
Adrianna looked at the two giant robots and asked, "How are we going to do this?"
Suddenly the two Autobots transformed and opened their doors and let humans out. Adrianna looked at the two humans walking toward her. One was very muscular and had many battle scars all over his body. He had blazing electric blue eyes and had black hair. The other was taller than the other and was also muscular. He had a wise look on him and had electric blue eyes and black hair that had a tint of blue in it.
"Optimus? Ironhide?" she asked.
The two nodded their heads and walked over to her. Her mouth dropped opened and asked, "How?"
"Ratchet made us these holoforms so that we can blend in society better." spoke Optimus.
"Wow…that's amazing…so what are we going to start first?"
Ironhide and Optimus looked at each other until Ironhide said, "We'll have a target practice and I'll help you what you need to do then Optimus will teach you his stuff."
Optimus smiled and stood back and watched the two practice and Ironhide would help her here and there. Since she was a police officer she knew how to use a gun, but Ironhide was the weapon specialist and knew everything about them. After an hour of practice it was Optimus's turn to teach all he knew. He showed her the stances for martial arts and taught her some moves. She was a fast learner and she would try to hit him, but he'd block her. Once in a while she'd his chest, but was always thrown to the ground.
Then Adrianna jumped on him causing them both to fall down. Adrianna was on top of Optimus and he had his arms wrapped around her. The looked at each other for some time feeling very awkward They slowly got off of one another and stood up. It was quiet for some time and then Optimus said, "I think that's enough for now….we will pick up on sword fighting tomorrow."
"Okay." she replied and ran out of the room. She ran to the hang out made for them humans. There sat Mikaela and Sam talking about stuff. The two of them turned around and saw Adrianna standing there and her face all red from embarrassment from what had happened earlier.
"Hey Adrianna what's the matter?" asked Mikaela.
"Nothing." squeaked Adrianna.
Sam and Mikaela looked at each other and then back at Adrianna and Mikaela said, "There's something wrong. How was training?"
Adrianna looked at her new younger friend and said, "I'd rather not talk about it."
Mikaela walked over to Adrianna and spoke, "How about we get this off your mind whatever it is okay?"
"How?"
"Well I bought some red hair dye. Then we can style your hair and make fake ID's."
"Well the hair dye and styling it sounds good, but how will you make the fake ID's at?" Adrianna asked.
"The Autobots have friends in the military and since they know about you and the Decepticons they'd be willing to make you a new ID."
"Oh…" There was a sudden rubbing on the back of Adrianna's leg. She looked down and saw Luna there. She laughed and picked her up and asked, "Where were you this morning?"
Luna looked up at her and just meowed. Mikaela laughed and said, "So you wanna get rid of your brown hair and have beautiful red hair?"
"Sure why not."
The dying process was not as bad as Adrianna had thought…she thought it was going to be much worse, but guess Mikaela had done this many times before she didn't mind. Mikaela started cutting her hair and made sure Adrianna's eyes were closed as she did so. When she was able to look at herself she barely recognized herself. Her hair was shorter now, and had lots of layers put in it.
"Wow…" she kept looking at her hair.
"You like it?"
"Like it? I love it!" she exclaimed.
Mikaela laughed and said, "Let's go show Optimus."
Right when she had mentioned Optimus's name Adrianna's face went pale as a ghost. Mikaela saw this and said, "So you do like him?"
Adrianna looked at Mikaela and said, "No I don't."
Mikaela just shook her head and spoke, "Come on. We'll get you a new ID soon, but first I need to take your picture…" Mikaela grabbed a camera and took Adrianna's new picture and then said, "I'll send it to the military to make new IDs for you. Now let's go."
Luna trailed behind the two and went to find the Autobots. When they entered the room there were all the Autobots talking and arguing. Adrianna saw this and said, "Maybe we shouldn't do this…we can wait until they're done."
"Nah! It'll be fine."
Hearing the small voices coming from the doorway and saw Mikaela and another girl.
"Hey Mikaela, whose your friend?"
Optimus had heard this and walked over to Mikaela and asked, "Why did you bring someone new here? We can't let many people know of our existence."
"Well hello to you too Optimus."
Optimus looked at the girl recognizing her from somewhere, but couldn't put his foot down. Adrianna saw this and said, "It's me Optimus…its Adrianna."
Optimus basically did a double take which made Adrianna laugh. Optimus looked at Adrianna and then at Mikaela and said, "You did a good job."
"Thanks."
Adrianna looked at Optimus and gave a small smile…she could sense her heat rising to her face and feel it heat up. Optimus chuckled a little bit and stood up and asked, "Have you gotten a new identity yet?"
"No…the military is going to take care of that." she replied.
Mikaela looked up at Optimus and then at Adrianna and said, "We better go."
At that time Luna went running away from her over to Ironhide.
"Luna! Luna! Come back here!" Adrianna cried and ran after her.
Ironhide had heard Adrianna call for her cat and looked down to see Luna at his feet meowing. Ironhide chuckled and gently picked up the cat and held her to his face. Luna purred and rubbed against his fingers and heard Adrianna calling for her. Ironhide looked down at Adrianna and asked, "Looking for something?"
"Give her here Ironhide." Adrianna exclaimed.
Ironhide looked down at her and then bent down holding out his hand to let Luna jump off and jump into Adrianna's waiting arms. Adrianna then walked off to her and Optimus's bedroom and stayed on the ground until Optimus came in holding giant paper and said, "It looks like you'll be known as Miss Natasha Blake. You are a school teacher and you teach elementary…."
"Thanks for the information." she replied.
Optimus looked down at her and smiled and bent down to her and held out his hand and whispered, "You look tired."
"I guess I'm a little tired." she yawned.
Optimus set her on the bed and she crawled up to the pillow and Luna laid next to her. Optimus smiled and sat down at his desk and started typing on his very large computer. The typing of the keys slowly made Adrianna go to sleep even faster dreaming of things that had happened earlier and stuff she hadn't thought about in so long.
Optimus got into the bed after he had done his work. He laid down and faced a sleeping Adrianna with her cat. He smiled a small smile. He remembered earlier when they had been training…they both were embarrassed. Of course he could see now that they were going to change her identity and train her more advance than any human would. He gently caressed her back and then closed his optics.
Yes, she has a new identity. I hope all of you enjoy this chapter. I worked very hard. Please review and no flames please!
