Alise's heart cringed at the sound of the pained screeching. She knew exactly what it was coming from.
"Bee?" she whispered to herself, and then she ran, passing all the people in front of her, barging through the set of doors. She found herself in a large room, full of people walking about. She looked around wildly for a moment and then her eyes fell on the center of the room. Her heart stopped. There was her Bee, strapped to a large metal table, while men were around him, spraying the white smoke on him. There were also large machines above him, electrocuting him and making him yelled in pain. The rest of the party raced in behind her.
"BEE!" she screamed. Only some of the people in the room stopped to look at her, and then she heard Sam, Lennox, and Epps yelling at the men who were spraying Bee to stop, Sam actually pushing one of them out of the way. Alise ran to Bee, quickly jumping onto the platform he was on and she climbed onto his chest. The men who hadn't stopped spraying him finally ceased, seeing the human climbing up on him.
"Bee! Bee!" she said, kneeling on his large chest. He wasn't moving. Alise eyes started to swim in tears. "Bee, please! WAKE UP!"
She was vaguely aware of the curious looks she was getting from the others in the room, but she couldn't care in the slightest. She knew that to her, Bee wasn't just a friend to her anymore.
When Bee still wasn't responding, she inhaled sharply, her heart pounding. "No, no, no!" she started saying mournfully. The tears started to fall down her face and onto his armor. She let out a stifled cry and placed her hand on Bee's cheek.
Please Bee, don't be dead! She screamed inside her head, the word 'dead' not wanting to escape her lips.
She dropped head, hushed sobs shaking her. She felt so much pain inside that she though it might kill her. She felt a similar pain before, after her parents had died. But this pain… this was directly in her heart. With her hand that wasn't his cheek, she started to make small circles on his armor, just out of a comforting habit. It didn't do much for her though.
However, she heard a quiet whirring. She looked up.
"Bee?" she whispered. Hope suddenly presented itself inside of her. She watched as he slowly opened his eyes a little. She gasped, and when he saw who she was, his eyes widened.
"Oh my god, Bee," Alise breathed. Now with his eyes open, he looked exhausted and in pain, but his mouth opened a little upon seeing her, a dazed expression on his face. Alise took her hand and placed it on his other cheek. She placed her forehead on his, some of her tears falling on his face.
"Oh, Bee, I'm so sorry," she cried. "I'm so, so sorry." She glanced over him, assessing the damage and she looked and saw dark marks all over his body. She gasped. "They burned you?" she cried out, horrified. Bee didn't say anything and just kept looking at her with that dazed looked. She heard a clanging sound and saw that Bee was trying weakly to lift his arms but was shackled to the platform he was on. She turned to the crowd watching her, furious.
"God dammit!" she yelled at them. "Let him GO!" She let out another string of colorful Spanish curses afterwards. Alise noticed one of the soldiers cringe.
One of the men looked at Simmons, who gave simple nod. He pulled a switch, and the shackles were opened. At first, Bee didn't seem to know he was released, back then he slowly sat up. Alise moved so that he could without her falling down. When she was standing up straight on one of his legs, he bent over her, so that their foreheads were touching again. Alise put her hands back on his face and Bee took one of his fingers and brushed lightly it through her hair. His expression suddenly changed. His eyes lit up and he smiled brightly at her, finally seeming to realize she was there with him. She did the same to him and Alise brought her arms around his neck (as much as she could) and she hugged him tightly. He also embraced her back, only using minimal pressure so that he wouldn't hurt her. However, when Bee did this, the sound of cocking guns was heard from the side of them. Alise and Bee looked up, Alise moving closer into Bee and him placing his hands in front of her protectively. They saw the Sector 7 agents pointing guns at them.
"Hey, hey!" Sam started to yell at them. "What are you doing?" None of them put their weapons down. One of the agents raised their weapons and Alise gasped. This sent Bee into action.
Bee gently grabbed Alise and she was quickly placed onto his shoulder. Bee's right arm turned into a canon, and he aimed it at the crowd below them. The agents kept their ground, however, and the men who didn't already have their guns cocked did just that. Canon still aimed, he started to stand and move off the table, his other hand placed over Alise on his shoulder, keeping her from falling and getting hit with anything that might be shot. Luckily before any shots were fired, Sam ran forward.
"Are you okay?" he asked Bee, concerned. "They didn't hurt you, right?"
Bee chirped angrily at him. Sam cringed a little.
"Listen to me," he continued. "The Cube is here and the Decepticons are coming."
Bee tensed a little more, realizing what Sam was saying, but he couldn't take his eyes off the crowd of agents.
"No, no, don't worry about them," Sam interjected. "They're okay. Right?"
Bee whirred and made an even angrier chirp. Alise started to run her fingers along his shoulder to try and calm him down, but it was having little effect.
"Bee, I know what they did to you-" Sam started to say, and Bee made what sounded like a mockingly agreeing sound and then with his head, he angrily gestured to Alise on his shoulder.
"And I know what they did to her, too," Sam said sadly. "But they're not gonna hurt you now. Or her."
Bee looked a Sam for a moment and relaxed slightly, but he was still very tense. Bee started to walk forward a little, his arm still a canon. Sam started to talk to the agents.
"Just back up a little bit. He's friendly. He's fine," he said as Bee walked a few feet forward. "Okay, come on. Put the guns down." They slowly did as he said and he turned back to Bee. "They're not gonna hurt you."
Bee stopped walking and his canon turned back into his arm. He took one last look at Sam, and then he turned back to Alise, who smiled at him. Bee put his hand out in front of her and at first she thought he was going to put her down. However to her delight, he brought her to his face and he nuzzled her affectionatly.
"'I thought you were (static) gone,'" he voiced sadly, so quiet that only she would be able to hear. It tore at her heart to have him sound that way. She started to tear up a little again, but as one ran down her cheek, Bee took his massive finger and gently wiped the tear away. Alise smiled, and placed a light kiss to his nose.
"Not this time, Bee," she whispered too him as she placed her forehead to his once more. A light purr came from him. However, their moment was cut a little short when Sam coughed expectantly below them.
"Uhh, Bee," he said awkwardly. "We gotta go."
Bee's face scowled and he let out an annoyed chirp, but he just placed Alise on his shoulder once more. She buried her head in his shoulder when she sat back down.
"Here, come with me," Sam said once more. "I'm gonna take you to the All Spark."
Everyone in their party started to follow Sam, but as they started to walk, Alise still on Bee's shoulder, she heard a laugh from below. She looked down from Bee to see it was Epps, Lennox right next to him, with a smirk on his face. Seeing that she was looking at him, he spoke to her.
"You girl, are something else," he said, making Alise scrunch her face in confusion.
"How so?"
Epps laughed. "Punching federal agents, befriending alien robots, explicitly cursing out a crowd in Spanish..."
"Oh," Alise blushed. "You understood that?"
"I didn't, but he did," and Epps pointed to a soldier behind them. The soldier looked up at her.
"You would make a sailor blush with that kind of tongue, ma'am," the soldier said. "You speak it very well though, but you don't look as though it is your native language. How do you know how to speak it?"
"I know how to speak a lot of things," Alise mused, mostly to herself. Lennox looked curiously at her.
"Really?" he said. "Like what?"
"I speak Spanish, Russian, French, and Italian, and know sign language," Alise said, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.
Epps looked taken back. "No way!" he said disbelievingly. "You have to be shitting us! You don't look older than 25!"
Alise blushed and looked down. "Nope," she said modestly.
Lennox and Epps exchanged a look and they both shook their heads in disbelief. "What's your name again?" Lennox asked her.
"Alise," she said. She asked them the same thing. She already knew, but she wanted to hear them say it from themselves.
"Captain Will Lennox," Lennox said.
"Sergeant Epps," Epps responded.
"Good to meet you both," she to them and they both nodded at her. She then moved back more onto Bee's shoulder and propped herself up against his neck once more. She started to trace the circles in his shoulder again and he looked over at her affectionatly.
"'I'm glad you're (static) okay (static) bell.'"
She smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"You too, Bee," she said and she cuddled more into his neck, as they continued to walk towards the All Spark.
