Rated M due to violence, sex, and coarse language.
Disclaimer: I don't own the G1 Transformers, only the plot and the OCs are mine.
Things are in motion, Katheryn asked for help and all her family will help, so important decisions will be made.
By the way...Cyclonus and Galvatron are human size since they went to Texas, Rumble and Frenzy's normal size is human size, now Laserbeak is the size of an Eagle.
How about reading the chapter?
Important decisions...
The next morning Katheryn is at her parents' house, Drake countered but without any avail... Paul's word is final because he knew that Drake wanted to control the things around him.
Drake tries to argue " But it's my duty to take care of my wife!" Cyclonus approaches, "Really human? From the state of how your Sparkmate looked, you must have treated her very well." Cyclonus' voice denotes sarcasm, Drake replies, " What are you insinuating Robot?! That I don't know how to treat my wife?" Cyclonus finishes, " Yup." Drake well wants but can't fool Cyclonus who remarks, "I am a Cybertronian... be careful of what you say...human vermin."
"Katheryn will stay here to recover, then return home." Diane assures him, "But if you come here ahead of time, or if you do something that puts my daughter's Cats and her house at risk, I will kill you myself." Drake knows that Diane can be very scary so he comes out saying, "This isn't going to stay that way!" Galvatron points the fusion cannon at him, " Yes... get out before you do target shooting." Drake leaves Diane's house, everyone scoffed at him.
The next day, Katheryn gets up early, takes her morning shower, and when is done facing the mirror, seeing the marks that Drake has inflicted over their time being married, a tear runs down her cheek followed by another... another, until she cried compulsively.
Galvatron notices due to his refined hearing and goes straight to the bathroom...
When he enters, sees Katheryn wrapped in a towel on her knees crying compulsively, " Hey... Katheryn, are you okay?" But she continues crying, Galvatron takes her in his arms... hugging her, "It's okay, he won't hurt you anymore." She cries clinging to Galvatron, who is there for her.
Although he doesn't tell her anything, he lets her throw it all out there, he knows that humans who suffer from these kinds of things usually have their emotions repressed, for fear of being considered weak.
Outside the bathroom...
"What's up with my cousin?" Kate asks a little worriedly. She leaves there going towards the bathroom... when comes across Galvatron hugging Katheryn who was simply wrapped in a bath towel, "What's going on Galvatron Sir.?" He explains, "I heard a cry and went to investigate, I found her crying." Kate smiles, "It's part of the healing process, let's let her cry." They both hear a faint voice, "You must think I'm weak." Kate replies, "You're not cousin, the strong ones cry from time to time, so cry what you have to cry." Katheryn just says, "I want to fight Drake and put him in his proper place." Kate replies, " And you'll do it, cousin.
Wipe away your tears and pull yourself together, right?" Katheryn nods as Galvatron helps her up, "First I have to get dressed." Everyone takes the cue, leaving it alone.
In a matter of minutes, she composes herself, gets dressed, and then goes to the kitchen to eat something, and everyone was at the table except Diane, Paul asks, "How do you feel my daughter?" Katheryn just says, "I'm in tatters Dad, but I want to fight." He asks another question, "Are you in a position to fill up a report against Drake and make your statement?" She nods, "Yes... I have to grab the bull by the horns." Another crucial question is asked, "And have you thought about filing for divorce?" Katheryn just says, "I was tempted to give him another chance but men like him will never change, yes I will end the marriage." Diane had heard that "I can't believe what I'm hearing." But Katheryn replies, "Yes... It's true, now I ended my life with him, for good." Diane asks curiously, "What made you change?"
Katheryn closes her eyes taking a deep breath, "You may not believe it, but when I was unconscious in that hospital bed... I was in the total darkness of my subconscious... I saw the images of being assaulted by Drake over and over again... Until my other "me" appeared which made me that I didn't deserve to live like this so that I could return to the life I had before I got married.
I wanted to live my life to the fullest... full of color and without fear." Paul doesn't believe what he hears but continues to hear, "This" inner self showed me the right way out of this darkness and I jumped at the opportunity.
Then I was floating on myself... and when I saw Kate by my side, I saw that I had people who would help me get through this ordeal." Kate was looking at her with bulging eyes, "My... God..." Then Katheryn continues, "But what hit me inside was when I looked in the mirror after the shower... the black marks scattered across the body and face inflicted by that beast... then I broke... and I wept to realize that the man I love no longer deserves my love and dedication." Linda holds her hand, "Sister-in-law... I will always be here for you." Katheryn only says resolutely, " I will fight and for that, I will have to become stronger than my aggressor.
I'm going to do it step by step, and the first thing is to give part of it and make the statement." Kevin just says happily, "Let's celebrate sis." She raises her hand, "Hold there bro... We'll celebrate when this is over!" Diane smiles, " Finally my daughter is returning to her old self." Everyone gets up going outside because there would be a lot to do.
Over the next few hours, Katheryn goes to the Sheriff's Office where she reports Drake for domestic violence, and gives her testimony to the tiniest detail that left the detectives and Sheriff horrified because they never thought Drake could do such a thing.
Both the Sheriff and detectives reported, "The day you went to the hospital we collected evidence at your home that corroborates what you told us.
We also collected physical evidence that was present all over your body, the marks you had were measured and we were able to match them with some objects that were used on you, Katheryn." She closes her eyes, "Glad you did." They continue, "With the physical evidence that we have collected, in your home, that you and your friends have collected, we can put Drake in prison for many years to come." She is pleased and relieved, " We will investigate Drake thoroughly. " Shortly after she leaves the Sheriff's Department, going to her attorney's office to handle divorce papers, she was also doing the accounting of her assets that were all in her and her father's name, giving Drake no chance to take from her anything.
Rumble is always with her, were it not for Drake showing up with his henchmen, "How about going to make some shopping Rumble?" The human-sized mech answers, "Sure, why not!" Katheryn laughs, "Perhaps the ladies will come to you!" The mech said, " Oh yes... the human femmes are always over me when I go to Earth." And he winked at her, which earned a laugh, "I barely know you, but you've got humor!" He looked at her, "You need it a lot, Katheryn. How about going shopping as you put it?" A nod, " Yes...yes, let's go then." So Katheryn takes advantage of Rumble company by going to the sports store to buy a tracksuit, because for the next few weeks would be very hard, she would train with her cousin who is not for jokes.
Meanwhile, Drake is at the bar drinking a beer, when one of the friends appears, "So Drake, what did you do this time?" The other raises an eyebrow, " What do you mean by that?" The other replies, "It appears that your wife went to the Sheriff's Office to press charges and made her statement." Drake just laughs, "She?! My wife is weak and not brave enough to denounce me!
How did you know that?" The friend only replies, "I have friends working in the department, and they told me." Drake smiles, "Oh yes... That's how you got rid of the other domestic violence complaints." But the friend only warns, "If I were to be you, I wouldn't rely on it, because a wounded woman is quite capable of defending herself to the last consequences. " The other is in total silence but continues to drink his beer, " If she does... she doesn't know what awaits her. " The friend leaves, learning that Drake is a coward, and decides to fight for Katheryn, after all, she has always welcomed him, and does not think it is fair for Katheryn that Drake abuses a good and hard-working woman... he regrets helping Drake conceal crimes against others, and swears he would no longer defend him.
He makes his decision... and goes to the Sheriff's Department to make his statement and tells him that he threatened his wife, among other kinds of things that Drake is doing... bad things.
At Kate's uncle's house...
Katheryn arrives along with Rumble, who helped her carry the groceries, and has a big smile on her face, Kate raises her eyebrow, "What happened to smile?" Her cousin replies, "Let's just say Drake is going to suffer in the very near future." Kate waits for her to tell her everything, "Well... I filed a complaint against Drake for domestic violence and gave my testimony.
If you saw the horrified look of the Sheriff and the detectives when I told them everything from the beginning of the marriage." This time it's Kate who keeps listening, "Both the Sheriff and the detectives said that the evidence gathered at the scene, on me, and the evidence we collected will be enough to put him behind bars for many years to come...this time will be not archived.
And there's something else, cousin." Kate asks, "Which is it?" Katheryn advances, "He will not be entitled to anything, since everything is in my name, and another thing, we married with separation of property." Kate gets a twinkle in her eye, "He'll be plucked." Katheryn nods, "Yup... All the money I have in the bank, which is a good amount, is all mine, he won't even see a penny." Kate has a twinkle in her eye saying sarcastically, "Poor thing... he will be going to be plucked after the divorce!" She bursts out laughing, pleased with her cousin's intelligence, "Kate this is not about intelligence but about common sense." Kate knows Katheryn is right.
Then the girl pulls out of her bag a pair of gym equipment, a pair of leggings, a tight t-shirt, and a pair of sneakers.
"You bought your equipment from what I'm seeing." A nod, "Great... tomorrow we will start your training, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Rumble, and Frenzy will help too, they will be your training partners." Katheryn replies, "I can't wait, Kate." The girl is aware that they will use human holoforms to teach her how to fight.
She's excited to learn from them, and that they won't be soft on her, because over the two years she's been with Drake she's suffered horrors without being able to defend herself.
Knows she's going to get it during practice, but that's part of her learning and this time she will endure everything related to the training, the woman let out a smile.
Kate notices this, "Why do you smile Kathy?" The other girl replies, "Oh, I'm just imagining his face when I see that he's going to get hit by me." Kate puts a hand on her shoulder, "Don't let yourself be blinded by revenge, for you can't think clearly." Katheryn agrees and listens, "Let's organize our lessons and talk a little bit about this problem, because I know it affected you psychologically, and this is also important in your training." Her cousin immediately agrees.
"I know during this training session I will have my arse whooped but it will be worth it." Kate says, "Oh Kathy we're not going to hurt you... a lot." The two of them start laughing.
As promised, everyone starts making the training plan, it will be rigorous but also rewarding... Katheryn feels that everything will be in her favor, and she will fight for it.
Things are starting to get composed, niiice!
