I don't own Transformers animated
"Come here Shadow, don't be afraid, I'm Swiftwind, Blitzwing's and Starscream's mother. I just have to ask you a question. Is it true that you don't have parents?"
"Yes."
"Well I have another question for you. Do you want to be their sister?"
Shadow looked up and turned to face Blitzwing and Starscream, they both smiled and nodded. She then turned and face Swiftwind.
"Yes, I want to be their sister."
"Then I'm your new mom, come lets go to your new home."
Shadow smiled and hugged her new family.
"Come on sis, we'll show you around."
"Vou are part of our vamily now, vou are our sister."
"It's awesome, I always wanted a family!"
"Well now you have one. Come along, we have to give her time to get used to her new home."
"I'll show you around!"
"And I vill help!"
The kids all ran together following their mother, to a house near the edge of the city.
Shadow woke up startled, Blitzwing and Starscream were her brothers, and also she was adopted. Who was her mother and Father? What happened to them? She shook her head and got up from bed. She made her way to what she thought was the kitchen, finding that there was no kitchen or human food, she decided to practice her fighting skills that her imaginary dad taught her. Her opponent was a piece of scrap metal that she found.
She placed it outside and started punching and kicking the scrap of metal like it was a matter of life and death. She couldn't still get it out of her head. Finally she punched through the metal scrap. She placed it on the ground, her hands were hurting badly and so were her legs. She sighed, picked up the metal scrap and continued to hit it. She didn't mind that there was a hole in it, she just pretended like nothing was there. She continued to beat up the scrap, without noticing someone on the tree near her, who was observing her skills with great interest. After five minutes, she gave up. She picked up her piece of scrap metal and made her way inside. The only reason that her fists weren't bleeding is because of her being half robot, but there was some pink liquid was starting to come out, also her legs felt numb.
She came in and saw that the rest of the autobots were awake. She smiled, she was going to tell Ratchet about the pink liquid, but she was going to let then wake up first. So no one would ask, she left the piece of scrap outside, near the building.
"Good morning Shadow! So how's your room?"
"Awesome! Thanks Bumblebee."
"No problem! Hey wait a nanoclick!"
Shadow stopped dead on her tracks, she turned around and face Bumblebee.
"Shadow! You're losing energon, and lots of it! Look!"
She looked down and saw her hands and they were overflowing with the pink liquid.
"There wasn't that much before."
"Ratchet we need your help! Shadow's losing energon!"
Ratchet came in the room, still unaware of the gravity of the situation.
"Why are you worrying so much, I bet it's a small cut."
When he finally saw the energon his eyes went wide.
"By Prime, come here!"
Shadow quickly went with Ratchet to the medical bay. Ratchet picked her up and placed her on the huge metal table.
"How did you do this?"
Shadow faced the floor. Ratchet cleaned away the energon and wrapped around both her hands with bandages.
"Well, what happened?"
"I was practicing my fighting moves."
"And how come you lost so mush energon?"
"What's energon?"
"You organics call it blood, we call it energon."
"Oh. Well I was practicing on a piece of scrap metal?"
"And why did you do such a stupid thing?"
"I was trying to make my fists and legs stronger, so that I could fight robots, in case my lasers don't work."
Ratchet sighed and shook his head. He muttered under his breath something that Shadow couldn't hear.
"Well, you can go now."
"Thank you Ratchet."
Shadow slowly climbed off the table and made her way back to her room. She passed the TV room to tell Bumblebee that she was okay and didn't have to worry about her hand. Instead of going to her room, she went outside to take some air. She sat down near a tree, and stared into space.
"Where did you learn to fight?"
Shadow jumped, from the sudden appearance of the voice.
"My 'father' taught me, but it turns out that it was just a programming."
"Still, your fighting skills are quite impressive."
"Thank you."
"I was wondering that if you had proper training you have he possibility of becoming a cyber ninja."
"I would like too, but who can teach me?"
"I can teach you. I learned from the best."
"Prowl, I don't think I might be the finest of students, but it's worth a shot. When do we start?"
"Tomorrow first thing in the morning."
"Okay, then see you tomorrow."
Shadow walked back into her room, the only place she could think for some privacy. She lay down on her bed, and thought about the resent events that happened. She was a half robot. Starscream blasted her off a building. Then saved by Blitzwing. Then found out that they were childhood friends. Then discover that she was frozen for some years and reprogrammed. Her childhood was a lie. She found out in a dream that Blitzwing and Starscream were her brothers, and that their family adopted her. Then that she bleeds something called energon and that she is now learning how to become a cyber ninja. And all of this happened in the course of one night and a morning. She turned around and found a clock and found out that it was 8:00 A.M. She groaned it was too early. She crawled under her blanket and closed her eyes. A short nap would do the trick. It would rest her mind about the events that occurred.
"Wow, your house is huge!"
"You mean our house, you live here now."
"Yeah, ve must show vou vour room!"
They both lead her to a hallway.
"That one's your room Starscream and that one's your Blitzwing."
'Yeah, and this one's yours!"
The door slid open revealing a big room. It was very spacy; it had a bed, some drawers, a desk and a lot of room to play. A huge smile appeared on the small girl's face. She turned around and hugged them both.
"Thank you! It's perfect! It's the most amazing thing I've ever had! Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"Well I see that you showed Shadow her room."
"Yes! Thank you! Thank you Swiftwind! It's amazing!"
"You don't have to call Swiftwind, call me mom."
"Okay mom."
"Come along everybody, it's time for dinner.
