Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers, Percy Jackson & the Olympians, the Avengers, or Supernatural. If I did, I would be rich. The only thing that is mine is story.
Primus watched over the two young men that would be the protectors of Earth from the human and humanoid alien threats. She watched them, yes, but her attention was mainly focused on the Leader of the rebellion forces of Cybertron during the civil war. Megatron had crash landed on Earth a couple hundred years ago when he had gone after the Allspark. She had used her power over Earth's elements to freeze his circuits and machinery when he crash landed entering Earth's atmosphere in the North Pole. She sensed had when Archabild Witwicky had found Megatron during an expediction through the Arctic before WWII broke out, he accidently got his glasses imprinted with cordinates of the Allspark that had been found by humans a few years before. President Roosevelt had had the Hoover Dam built around the Allspark and Megatron in hopes to keep the radiation and energy levels hidden.
And she sensed it when the Autobots - led by Optimus Prime and on the side of the light - follow the beacon that the Witwicky man had accidently triggered when he had touched Megatron's hand. She knew that the Autobots and Decepticons would not reach Earth until the Earth year of 2007… which would be the same year Tony Stark would be trapped in a cave and emerge a changed man.
As Primus watched Bucky fall from the train, and into the hands of HYDRA, she knew that she had to intervene, if not physically, then mentally. She had a soft spot for heroes and good people. She entered Steve's mind first.
Steve.
Steve jerked and looked around the train car wildly for the voice that had spoken… A voice that was female and vaguely familiar.
"Who's there?" He asked, secretly glad that the Howling Commandos were not in this train car to hear him talking to himself.
You met me, once, Steve, as well as your friend Bucky. Although it was only for a few short moments.
Steve racked through his mind but could not place the familiar voice. "I'm sorry but I don't remember you."
Primus sighed. It doesn't matter at the moment. I wanted to tell you that all hope for Bucky is not lost. You will find him again in the future… although it will not be a future that either of you two will fit into. When you see him again, he will not recognize you. He will be nothing more then a husk of a man, a killing machine that does anything his creators bids he do.
Steve started to panic at the thought of what would happen to Bucky. "How do you know all of this, ma'am?"
Primus ignored his question. Couldn't he just be grateful that she was helping him? Men were so ungrateful, Artemis had always said. When you see him, all you have to say is Primus and he will be free from control and receive all of his memories again. Remember that word, Steve, or else bad things will happen.
Steve felt the prescence that had been in the back of his mind leave. "No! Wait!"
But Primus was gone, already working her power on Bucky's mind and then she was gone.
Everything was coming to a head. Her first children - the Cybertronians - were about to end their several millenium old war, her second children - the Archangels and Angels - were wanting to jumpstart the Apocalypse, and the Avengers were going to be formed around the same time all of this happened. It was going to be an interesting century.

2007
"Hey Percy! Wait up!" Percy turned around to see a brown haired teenager coming towards her through the hall.
"Hey Sam!" Percy said with a smile as she turned with her school books in her arms. Thats right. Percy aka Primus was going to high school… voluntarily. She must have been losing her marbles the day that she decided to enroll a couple years ago. But her power over Fate had pulled her and told her to do so and at Tranquility High School for some reason. But it wasn't all bad. She had befriended a young boy named Sam who was coincidentally the descendant of Archibald Witwicky. "So, did you get your A?"
Sam caught up to her and they walked out of the school together and towards Sam's dad's green car. Ron had given Percy a ride today since she offered to go with them if Sam got the grade for Ron to take Sam to get his car.
Sam grinned and shoved the piece of paper in front of her face. "A- but it's still an A! Are you still going with us or do you want us to drop you off at your mansion?"
Percy rolled her eyes. "It's not a mansion, Sam." Just as they arrived at Ron's car.
Sam showed the paper to his dad as he got into the back and allowed Percy to get in the front. Sam had used to have a crush on Mikaela Banes but when Percy came to town and befriended him. Him, the guy that he doubted Mikaela even knew existed. And, if he were honest, Percy was definitely ten times prettier then Mikaela and the other girls at school.
"Dad, does Percy not live in a mansion?" Sam asked.
Ron glanced at the two of them.
"I'm afraid Sam's right, Percy. You do live in a mansion and if Judy didn't love Sam and I so much, I think she would move in with you."
Percy grinned at Ron. "I wouldn't have any problem with Judy coming to live with me. I love her cooking. Especially those blue chocolate chip cookies I convinced her to make a few weeks ago."
Ron and Sam moaned at the thought of the cookies that Judy had made with Percy's recipe. They had been the best cookies they had ever eaten. But Judy only ever made them when Percy came over. Hopefully, she had made some for tonight.
Conversation stopped as Ron pulled into a Porsche dealership. Percy smirked and learned back in her seat to let Sam freak out.
"Sam, I've got a little surprise for you."
"A surprise? What kind of…?"
"Yeah, a little surprise."
And que the freak out when Sam realized where they were.
"No. No, no, no, no. Dad! Oh, you got to be kidding me."
"See?" Ron asked. "Yeah, I am. You're not getting a Porsche."
Sam's face was so disappointed, that Percy couldn't help but let out a laugh. She knew that Sam was trying to glare at her but all he did was pout at her.
"You think that's funny?" Sam asked Ron instead.
Ron chuckled and glanced back at Sam. "Yeah, I think it's funny."
They drove out of the Porsche dealership and back out onto the road and towards their real destination. Sam was still harping about what had happened but Percy knew that if it had happened to anyone else, Sam would be laughing his butt off. And she knew that when Sam had his own kids, he would do the same thing that Ron did to him and find it just as funny as Ron did.
"What's wrong with you?"
"You think I'd really get you a Porsche for your first car?" Ron asked.
Percy then felt a familiar thrum run through her veins as she tuned out the father and son duo. She hadn't felt that feeling in so long… And it was filled with so much light, unlike the darkness of when she had felt Megatron crash into Earth. It was an Autobot, a young one. A name popped into her mind as she stepped out of the car and scanned her eyes over all of the cars there.
Her dark sea green eyes that she inheritated from her father landed on a yellow Camaro with black racing stripes. Bumblebee, a young scout under the leadership of Optimus Prime.
She could only assume that the war between her first creation was coming to a turning point. And her first children weren't the only ones reaching the point where everything was about to change. Sam and Dean Winchester, sons of John Winchester, a family of monster hunters, had been reunited in their search for their father. And Tony Stark had just entered the desert in where he would be spending three months held captive.
Percy walked over to the Camaro and ran her hand along the side of it gently, glad that she had used some of the power of Hephaestus to create a ring that hid her power from everyone and everything. To the world, she was just a regular seventeen year old girl with absentee parents and lived in a mansion with a team of butlers and maids. When in reality she lived alone in her house and had hired three maids that rotated everyday to clean the house.
Percy felt Bumblebee shudder slightly under her touch and smirked to herself. But she turned to shout across the parking lot whre Sam and Ron were still talking to the lot's owner. "Hey, Sam! Come check this car out!"
The three men came over and joined her. "This ain't bad. This one's got racing stripes."
The man nodded, half-listening to Sam and staring at the car in clear confusion. "Yeah. It got racing." The man started talking to himself. "Yeah, what's this? What the heck is this? I don't know nothing about this car. Manny!"
"What?" another man shouted, emerging from the garage he was working in.
"What is this? This car! Check it out!"
"I don't know, boss! I've never seen it! That's loco!"
"Don't go Ricky Ricardo on me, Manny! Find out!"
Sam had gotten into the autobot and was examining the inside. Percy just stood off to the side, sensing that a guardian bond was forming between the human and cybertronian, even with Bumblebee in this form. She tuned back into the conversation when they started to talk about how much.
"No I'm not going over 4."
She piped up. "I'll throw in 500 if you'll match me, Ron." Ron, Sam, and the other man looked at her. Ron thought it over. Percy was very smart and was really good at making others do what she wanted them to do by talking circles around them and causing headaches. So, Ron decided to save himself the headache and agree with what Percy was proposing.
"Agreed. I'll go 4500 with Percy making it 5."
And as the salesman and Ron shook hands, Sam hugged Percy tightly.
"Oh, thank you, Percy! Thank you! You just saved me from being a 40-year old virgin."
Percy pulled back and her eyes twinkled at the boy. "You know what your father says. No sacrifice, no victory. My sacrifice was my entire day and five hundred dollars. My victory was seeing you happy."
Sam just grinned at her. Percy turned to Ron before he could follow the salesman into the office to sign the papers. She placed 500 dollars into hand and let the two men silently continue on to their destination.
"Are you ready?" Sam asked a few minutes later as the two friends sat in the front seat of San's new car. Percy grinned at him.
"Always, my friend, always."
