Chapter 20
I don't know what kind of girl I am...
Blurr burst through the medbay doors in a state of pure panic. Shockingly, no wrenches flew near his direction.
'Tai!' He exclaimed in horror at what he saw. There she was on the med bay table, just in her underwear which consisted of a pair of hot pink boy shorts and a black bra. Her face, which was usually so tan and full of life, looked pale and cold. On her chest, attached to a suction cup was a wire that led to a giant heart monitor while an oxygen mask covered her nose and mouth.
'Whathappened?' He asked the Autobot leader and medic. 'Whyisshelikethis?'
'We do not know yet, Blurr.' Optimus said, hoping to calm down his distraught teammate. 'But Ratchet is doing all he can to figure it out.'
'Ironhidesaidshewassick!' Blurr exclaimed loudly. 'Isshesick? Isshedying?'
'No...she isn't dying!' Ratchet snapped. 'I can honestly say, however, I have never heard or seen anything about this in my entire career as a medic.'
'What?' Both Optimus and Blurr asked at the same time.
'I have examined her structure very closely.' The medic continued, enlarging the scan of Tai's inner body. 'This is astounding...'
Before he could continue, Tai than shot up into a sitting position and let out a loud scream, her blue eyes wide. 'Blurr!!' She yelled out in terror, not seeming to notice her guardian was standing right beside her. 'Tai! I'mrighthere!' He exclaimed in worry. He had not seen her like this since her father was killed.
Tai looked over at the sound of the familiar voice, and immediately burst into tears. She ripped the wires and the oxygen mask off of her face, much to Ratchet annoyance, and literally leapt into Blurr's hands.
'I saw her....I saw her...' She kept muttering over and over as Blurr held her up to his face. 'She's...me....I'm her...'
'Tatyana, what are you talking about?' Optimus asked in alarm.
Tai looked up at the Autobot leader with watery eyes. How was she going to tell him? Would he believe her?
What about Jazz?
Blurr?
Sam?
'Tatyana,calmdownandtelluswhathappened.' Blurr gently stroked her cheek with his large thumb. 'Whatdidyousee?'
Tai just shook her head vigorously, and kept her head lowered. She shivered slightly and looked down at herself. She now seemed to notice that she was just in her underwear. Her eyebrows rising, she turned her gaze to Ratchet and glared.
'Any reason why I'm practically naked?' She asked slowly, glaring at the medic.
'Well Tatyana, the reason is that it was much easier to read your vitals without your clothes in the way...but sense you are back to normal, here..' He handed her the clothes and her shoes, which were now clean and patched up.
'Tatyana,please...' Blurr begged his charge as she snatched the clothes back and covered herself. 'Justtellus...tellme...'
What he saw made his spark break; Tai brought her skinny knees up to her chest and started sobbing hysterically...deep, gut wrenching sobs that made her whole small body shake. Blurr looked up at Optimus and Ratchet, who both wore looks of love and sympathy for the girl.
'His daughter...I found her...' She sobbed out. Now Blurr was confused; whose daughter?
'Sweetie,whatareyoutalkingabout?' He asked, stroking her hair gently with his large fingers.
She looked up with red rimmed eyes and tear stained cheeks. 'I remember now...I fell down this crater, I saw a big, bright ball of light crash into the field by our house..' She took a deep shuddering breath. 'I saw her...she was hurt, badly...'
Optimus felt his spark beating incredibly fast at her words...could she be talking about who he thought she was talking about?
'She touched my hand...she turned into liquid and light, she's inside of me...' Tai closed her eyes tightly as more tears leaked out. 'She is me...'
'Tatyana...' Optimus said in a gentle tone, reaching down and gently lifting her chin up with his pointer finger. 'Who is 'she'?
She opened her eyes and looked up at the majestic leader with her bright blue eyes.
'Your...daughter.' She said slowly.
Sam was still pacing frantically back and forth, his hair standing up every which way from him running his hands through it over and over. He looked up when he saw Optimus walk in, his head down, his optics shuttered.
'Hey big guy...how's Tai?' Epps asked.
Instead of answering however, the leader just transformed and drove away. Lennox and Epps glanced at one another. 'What's up with him?' He asked as Ratchet walked in with Blurr behind him, who was holding Tai protectively against his chest.
'He is...troubled...' The medic sighed softly.
'I wanna go home...' Tai muttered out, sounding upset and exhausted. 'Will you take me home?'
Jazz heard the heartache in his new lover's voice and he felt his spark shatter into small pieces. All he wanted to do was hold her against him and take her pain away, but how could he?
'Ofcoursemylittleduckling...I'lltakeyouhome...' Blurr smiled and placed her on the ground carefully before transforming into his new charger mode. That got a small, excited smirk on her face as she climbed into the back seat. The back door opened for Psyche, who immediately climbed in and settled herself next to her owner, who stroked her ears for comfort for both her dog and herself. 'See ya at home Sam...bye guys...' With that, Blurr drove off in the direction of the Witwicky house.
'I haven't heard anyone call her that since her Dad...' Sam said in a sad tone as the bright blue autobot drove away.
'Think she'll be okay?' He asked to anyone who was listening.
'She will be kid..' Epps patted his shoulder. 'She's a tough girl, from what I've seen, she can pull through anything.'
Jazz watched as his love drove away. 'I love you, Tai...' He muttered to himself.
Tai, who had her head leaning against the cool glass of her big brother bots window, smiled as she rubbed her chest as a warm feeling passed through her. 'I love you too, Jazz...' She sighed, her hand still stroking Psyche's head.
After getting pampered by Judy, who had learned about what happened when Sam called her, and getting hugged by Ron, Tai was up in her room. No amount of Animaniacs that Bumblebee bootlegged for her, no amount of Caramelldansen, or anything for that matter could cheer her up. Why had Optimus just gone and left?
Did he hate her?
Where did he go?
All these questions were running through her mind, making her head hurt. But there was one question that kept haunting her thoughts; What was she? Was she human? Was she Cybertronian? Could that explain why she was so intelligent for her age? Why her skin could suddenly heal itself like Wolverine?
'What am I, Psyche?' She asked her Great Dane, who was laying in her new dog bed that Ron got for her. 'What's happening to me?'
Her cellphone made a noise, indicating she had received a text. Sitting up, she reached over and touched the screen. It read Jazzyman. Smiling, she opened it and it read: Look out the window.
Raising an eyebrow, she walked over and looked out of her large window. There was Jazz in his Alt mode, right on the lawn, flashing his headlights at her to get her attention. She waved. What are you doing? She texted back.
I wanted to see you...you seemed very depressed and I was worried..:3
Well you don't need too silly bot...xD My uncle is going to freaking kill you when he see's a car on his lawn!
Wanna go for a drive?
Sure...let me get dressed...no peeking...
XD!!
After getting dressed in a sky blue t-shirt, a black cropped vest, and a pair of skinny jeans, she ran outside and met the silver mech. She quickly placed a sticky note on her recharging guardian that simply said she was with Jazz and try not to worry to much.
Jazz honked his horn in approval as she sauntered over to the drivers side in a goofy way and climbed in.
'In the words of Gary Gilmore, 'Let's do it!'
After stopping at a 7-11 to get her the usual blue raspberry slurpee and a bag of Tim's jalapeƱo chips, they finally reached the usual lookout for hormonally stressed out children. Tai got out with her snack and drink, sitting down on the warm dry grass. She heard than felt Jazz sit down next to her.
'Thanks for bringing me here, dude.' She said with a smile.
'No problemo, gorgeous...' He smiled cheekily at her. She blushed and looked over at the setting sun; this had been one hell of a day for her. First she had a 'heart attack', found out something very crucial about her past, found out she was part robot pretty much, and got herself a boyfriend...botfriend...type person.
After wiping her fingers on the ground to get the chip dust off, she leaned against Jazz's big metal thigh, taking a deep breath.
'You okay baby?' He asked in concern.
'Oh yeah!' She smiled up at him, showing off her now blue stained teeth. 'Never better actually...'
She than frowned when a thought suddenly occurred to her.
'Where do you think Optimus went?'
Jazz furrowed his optic ridges as he looked in the direction to where his leaders energy signal was. 'I thin' he went somewhere to clear his processor...' He said, gazing down at his beautiful human friend.
'I hope he comes back soon.'
With a single claw, he gently stroked her long swish of bangs away from her face. 'He will babygirl...he will...'
Optimus had no idea how long he drove...but quite frankly, he didn't care. He finally stopped when exhaustion creped over him like a blanket. After making sure no one was around, his transformed and stretched to his full height. His processor ached horribly and so did his spark.
How could this have happened?
Did this mean that he had found his long lost sparkling? In the form of a human teenage girl?
'Oh Elita...' He muttered, looking up at the now starry sky. 'What do I do now?'
He remembered before the war when the sparkling was produced. She was so small and fragile, yet so beautiful and perfect.
It broke his spark to know that Elita would never get to see her.
He than made a promise to himself; he didn't care what she was now...human or not, she was his sparkling. His precious little girl, as human fathers would say. Transforming back into the peterbilt truck, he rumbled back down the steep hill and headed back to the base.
Little did he know, a pair of sinister red optics were watching his every move.
'Girl's location found.' The raspy, evil computerized voice said with a smirk.
Okay sorry it took me so long!
And sorry for the shortness!
But my computer is sickly with a virus and my Dad is going to get a new one very soonly!
Please don't give up on me!
I love you all!
Peace!
