Well, I decided to update this story because I can't watch Transformers because of the super bowl. I hate it... Disclaimer- I don't own Transformers or The Secret Saturdays. Credit given where credit is due.
Chapter 14
Iris led Zak to her favorite place; the beach at the edge of the island. "Come here; look, but stay quiet, she instructed, leading Zak over to a giant boulder to duck behind. They peered over the boulder and watched. Slowly, hundreds of sea turtles arrived on the beach. "Watch," Iris whispered as she stepped out from behind the rock. The turtles turned their attention to her as she started glowing black. Rocks started moving and rearranging themselves, creating a kind of fortress for the turtles. Iris relaxed, and the turtles started climbing all over their new little playground, clearly content.
One turtle came to Iris and she gave it a pat before walking back over to Zak. "That was...pretty cool," Zak admitted. I've been practicing. It's really hard to control; it seems like everytime I master something, my powers expand too much and I have to be stabilized. Like that old saying, 'one step forward and two steps back.' I'm doing a little better, though," Iris replied. "Just...don't tell my parents. Ratchet will blow a circuit if he finds out what I've been doing." "Yeah, speaking of which, what's the deal with this whole...setup?" Zak asked as they left the turtles behind. Iris sighed and walked along the rocks, jumping from one to another as Zak walked across the sand beside her. "Well, my mom...I have no idea what happened to her...and my older sister and I were left with our father. He remarried, and his new wife had twin boys. We lived in a suburb of Mission City, and the Decepticons attacked. Somehow, I survived. The first thing I saw when I woke up was actually two Autobots; Ratchet and Ironhide. I started calling them 'Dad' and 'Daddy' and Ratchet called what I did 'imprinting.' All the Autobots kind of became attached to me and some even started calling me 'pride and joy of the Autobts.' Ratchet made them help him and Ironhide raise me, and after that, it was official. I might as well have been sparked by Ratchet and Ironhide," Iris explained.
"Oh. So...basically, your parents are giant alien robots?" Zak asked hesitantly. "...In a sense, yes. But I love my family and wouldn't change what happened, ever. Not for anything."
Review please!
