"Talking"

Chapter 8

Vay was glad that they were all out in the public, definitely when he saw each of the holoforms and people get out of the cars. First was the GMC Topkick, who Mikaela told him was Ironhide. At first Vay thought it was the man who got out of the passenger's side. He was different than what Vay thought he would have been, Brown hair slightly spiked, slight fuzz growing around his neck and face, and was dressed in military issued uniform. The way he held his self was one of in charge, yet a demeanor of a loving father.

Then stepped out the holoform of Ironhide.

Vay was surprised that someone who was a Weapon Specialist would create such a rugged holoform. His head was completely shaved, no kind of hair what so ever. Like Bumblebee, he had bright blue eyes, and was relatively short. What he didn't have in height, he did have in bulk.

He wore a simple black t-shirt, with the sleeve's almost busted out because of his muscles, and faded blue jeans. Along the Holoform's arms were a tattoo sleeves, with a lot of symbols that didn't look readable in any kind of language. His Boot's hit the ground when he hopped out of the driver side of the door, and his brown boot's made a loud thud against the pavement.

Vay looked back as Sam got out of Bumbleebee, and Bumblebee did the same with his Holoform. Vay looked further down the street at a stalled out Nissian police cruiser, who he assumed to be Prowl. The people on the street started to give weird looks at all the assorted group of people, and cars. Vay sighed, as he hopped off Barricade, and grabbed his books along the way. Mikaela copied him, and both turned as the group of four made their way toward the.

Vay watched as Sam rushed up to Mikaela, and looked her over, "Are you okay?"

"Sam, I'm fine." Mikaela sighed, embarrassed at her boyfriend's open affection. Vay focused on the man who came up to him in the military uniform, and held out a hand toward him.

"Hello, my name is Will Lennox." Vay stared at the man suspiciously, but still shook Will's hand.

"Vay Sealo." Vay replied, and Will nodded. Barricade opened his passenger door, and his holoform jumped out, and the door shut. All eye's turned toward the 'con, and Barricade just stared back. Vay sighed heavily as he looked over to Ironhide's holoform.

"Can you wake up your friend, I need to explain some things, and I already had to do this twice today." Vay requested, and Ironhide snorted.

"Listen, Prime requested us to get both Mikaela and you out of here, with the 'con dead or alive." Ironhide crossed his arms, daring Vay to backtalk him, which he did.

"Well since I don't know who Prime is, or really you are, I don't see why I need to comply." Vay shot back, and Will frowned.

"You do realize you do not have much choice correct?" Will asked the clairvoyant, who looked crossly at him.

"You cannot force me to go somewhere, which I don't I have a clue where said place it, against my will." Vay revolted, and Will sighed.
"You were helping a Decepticon, or am I mistaken?" Will asked, a eyebrow raised. Vay gritted his teeth, and curled his toes in his shoes to stop from doing something he would regret.

"Hey, I'm the one who asked for his help." All eyes snapped back to Barricade, who looked bored. "So what he helped me, I was just trying to get repaired by you all's Medic's assistant." Barricade stuck a thumb toward Mikaela, but all eyes stayed on Barricade.

"You could have easily had one of your fellow scum help repair you!" Ironhide yelled at Barricade, who just proceeded to get interested in his holoform's nails.

"Maybe I could have, if I wasn't considered a traitor." Barricade stated nonchalantly, and it seemed almost everyone froze at his statement. After a few minutes of awkward silence, the Nissian down the street, revved it's engine. Vay quickly turned around to see the SiC peel down the street. Vay heard Ironhide say something in some kind of language, and his holoform disappeared. Vay watched as Prowl made his way down the street, at a alarming rate.

Vay turned around to ask Barricade what was going on, but the holoform disappeared, and he realized that Barricade was trying to move. Suddenly Vay saw something in his mind eye.

Prowl was hurtling down the street, toward Barricade, who for some reason wasn't moving. Barricade was out in the open, since Ironhide and Bumblebee parked on the opposite side of the road. Vay watched as Prowl sped head on into Barricade, and a sickening crushing sound was heard. Vay saw that the front part of Barricade had collapsed inward, and a dark blue substance had painted the asphalt beneath him.

Vay shook his head, as the vision went away, and looked at Barricade, "You have to move, NOW!" Vay shrieked at the 'con, who just groaned.

"What do you think I'm trying to do? Having a slagging energon party?" Barricade yelled back, as he tried to move again and wouldn't.

Damn it, he needs to live for some reason! Vay screamed in his head, and forced his body to move. A thousand things went off in his head, but a few seem to be understandable than others. One, he was probably going to die. Two, if he didn't die, he was going to be in a severe amount of pain. Three, if he did die, then he wouldn't have to worry about the visions anymore.

Vay Jumped in front of Barricade, arms held out. He was crazy, he knew that, and apparently so did all the other random people on the sidewalk thought so to. He heard Barricade ordering him to get out of the way. He heard Sam and Mikaela yelling at him to stop being so stupid. He even heard Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Will trying to command him to move. The clairvoyant didn't care though. He knew that Prowl would hit him, even if he applied his breaks, and Vay didn't need a vision to tell him that.

Vay closed his eyes, and waited. He heard the screech of tires, he heard the constant yelling for him to move, and he felt a great wave of relief flood through him.

Then Prowl hit him.

Vay flew through the air, and landed on Barricade's windshield, and made it spider web. He felt shards of glass break off into his back, cutting through the leather jacket. Intense pain shot through his body, and Vay groaned. Vay slightly opened up his eyes, and everything was so blurry. He tried to move his hand, but he couldn't. A group of faces came into view, but he couldn't make them out. He heard voices, but Vay didn't care. He was tired.

He just wanted sleep.

Everyone freaked when Vay closed his eyes, and Will changed into his Major Lennox attitude. "Ironhide, Bumblebee, carry Vay to Bumblebee and put him in the backseat. He is going to need medical attention stat." Ironhide and Bumblebee nodded, and moved on separate sides of the unconscious teen, and picked him up. Will toward Prowl who did not have a holoform out, "Prowl you go with Bumblebee, Optimus is going to need a direct report from this situation. Ironhide and I will hook Barricade up so-

"Will, the human has glass shards all in his back!" Ironhide yelled across the street, and Will cursed. Mikaela and Sam were both over by Vay, holding unto his ripped leather jacket, and looking down at the blood stained white shirt.

"Lay him on his stomach; we don't have time for this!" Major Lennox yelled back, as he tried to control the crowd that was trying to see what just transpired. As he heard doors shut, he looked back to see that Mikaela and Sam were inside of Bumblebee, as him and Prowl drove off. As he forced the crowd to dispersed, he turn around to get a towing cable out of Ironhide, and surprisingly heard something shatter under his boot. He picked up his boot, and saw the shades that Vay had been wearing.

Will picked up the shattered shades, and was surprised when he was tapped on his shoulder. He turned around to surprisingly see Barricade's holoform out, and he was holding out his hand. "I will hold onto those." Barricade said bluntly. Will deposited the broken shades into the holoform's hand, who walked toward Barricade's passenger side.

Will focused back on going over to Ironhide, who already had the towing cable and was bringing it back over to Will. "Thanks." Will muttered, and Ironhide nodded.

"How are you holding up?" Ironhide asked, and Will shook his head.

"I can't think about that right now Ironhide, we need to get Barricade out of here." Will muttered, and his guardian sighed.

"You need to talk about it sooner or later Will." Ironhide stated, and walked his holoform back to him. As the holoform got in, Ironhide drove around the street, and move ahead of Barricade, and parked. Will got on his knees and searched for the place to attach the cable, underneath Barricade, and found the spot.

"Hey! You be careful organic!" Barricade growled, and Ironhide snorted.

"The only reason we are helping you is because how that stupid human jumped in the way of Prowl." Ironhide retorted, and Barricade remained silent. Will hooked up the other end to Ironhide, and moved to the passenger side. Ironhide opened the door for him, and after the door closed, Ironhide slowly began to drive off. Will took out his phone, and dialed in Sam's number

After a few seconds, Mikaela picked up, "Will, it's bad, Vay's heartbeat is slowing down considerably, and we are still ten minutes away from the base."

"What's happening?"

"It's worse than we thought, there's a bone sticking out of leg, the lower part, and it was concealed by his pant." Mikaela explained, and Will sighed.

"Just get there as fast as you can, Ratchet will find a way to help him, I'm sure." Will reassured, and Mikaela sighed.

"We can't even do much, were putting pressure on his wounds, but it isn't doing much." Will heard something on the other end of the phone, and Mikaela cursed. "Bumblebee said his vitals are dropping."

"Tell Bumblebee to kick his aft into high gear, we need his explanation why he jumped in front of Prowl ." Will Commanded, and he heard a yes sir from Mikaela. He stopped the call, and sighed.

"So how is the human doing?" Ironhide asked, as he 'drove' himself, and Will shook his head.

"By the looks of it," Will muttered, "He is probably going to die

Ratchet was organizing his tools, when he got a ping from Bumblebee's open Comm.

::Bumblebee, what is it? I am very busy-::

::Ratchet, we are going to need a open medical treatment as soon as we get there!:: Bumblebee interrupted, and Ratchet jolted in surprise.

:: Human or Mech? :: Ratchet asked, his Medic training kicking in.

:: Human, and he is damaged, badly. ::

:: Is it Major Lennox, or Samuel? :: Ratchet asked, as he dashed around the Makeshift Medbay, preparing supplies.

:: Neither. :: Bumblebee answered, and Ratchet paused confused.

:: Then who is the human? :: Ratchet asked, as he sent messages to all medical staff available at the NEST base.

:: The one we were all suspicious about, Vay Sealo. :: Bumblebee answered, and Ratchet grunted.

::How did he get damaged?:: Ratchet used his holoform to get a makeshift operating table ready, and the humans he had message had started to rush in.

:: Prowl was about to ram Barricade, but he jumped in front of Barricade. :: Bumblebee stopped, as Ratchet could understand the rest that was unsaid.

:: How soon will you have him here? ::

:: Three minutes. ::

The NEST operatives had the gate open when they saw Bumblebee and Prowl had sand clouds behind them. They sped through the gate, and quickly made way toward the part of the Base that held the Medbay. Mikaela was in the backseat with Sam, pressing down on the wounds, to stop blood flow, without pushing in the glass or messing with the bone any more than they had too.

Bumblebee turned a curve, and saw Ratchet a group of medical officers standing out beside a trolley and IV stand. Bumblebee pulled up, and swiftly stopped, along with Prowl. Prowl transformed into his Bipedal form, and on his faceplates were an unreadable expression. Bumblebees opened his doors, and allow the medical team to get Vay out back seat as swiftly and safely as possible. When the medical team had gotten a unconscious Vay out unto the medical trolley, and after Sam and Mikaela had gotten out him, covered in Vay's blood, Bumblebee transformed into his Bi-pedal form.

The four stood there and watched as they rushed Vay into the medical bay, and leaving them outside. They saw a dust cloud far off, and the groups straighten up as they realized it was Optimus. The Peterbilt truck made its way toward the group. When Optimus arrived near the group, he transformed into his bipedal form, and looked them over.

"Samuel, Mikaela, Please go with Bumblebee, Prowl and I need to have a talk." The autobot leader requested, and Bumblebee lowered a servo, in which both Sam and Mikaela got onto. As the scout carried them to another part of the base to get clean, Optimus was was staring directly at Prowl, battle mask in place.

Prowl, Optimus switched over to their native tongue, and was deathly serious, what in your processor were you thinking?

Prowl straighten up, and looked at Optimus unemotionally, He was a Decepticon, Decepticons usually lie, had to eliminate the threat.

Optimus crossed his arms across his chasis, Elaborate.

Barricade had convinced Vay Sealo that he just wanted to get help. Prowl explained, The organic believed him, and somehow succeeded in getting Mrs. Banes to help him. It was illogical to believe that it was the truth, so I did only what I had to.

Which was? Optimus asked, and Optimus saw a flicker of rage across Prowl's faceplates.

I had scanned him, and his hood and front bumper was weakened, so a Hard enough impact would make it collapse, and cutting energon lines. This would have offlined him. Permantly.

Optimus waited a few moments so he could fully sink this in, and released a heavy sigh, and how did the organic get injured?

He jumped in front of the Decepticon, trying to protect him. Prowl stated ruthlessly, and just shrugged, He aided a Decepticon, so he is n-

Enough! Optimus ordered, and Prowl remained silent, We are here to protect the humans, Prowl. Humans are very similar to us, they have a large capacity of wanting to help. You also went against my orders, if you capture him alive, than do so. Prowl, Jazz's death affected us al-

NO! Prowl interrupted, and Optimus took a step back out of shock, You do not realize at how much my spark is bearing right now. Bondmates are supposed to die together for a reason. You would understand if something happened to Elita-one. Prowl offlined his optics, as a shaky servo ran across his chest plates, and he dipped his helm. To have your Spark to constantly search for that bond, when it is not there no more. You're always captured in grief, Prime, and knowing that there is nothing you can do, just makes the matters worse.

Optimus watched as Prowl's frame shook. Optimus placed a servo on Prowl's shoulder, I cannot say that I understand, but Prowl, Prowl onlined his optics, and glanced up at Optimus, Would Jazz be happy?

So, ummmmmmm, I know something you wouldn't really suspect so early on, but… ummmm….Review?
