She's mainly at the house, but yes, i've been meaning to put her in here and now i can!


Clint walked into an office, "Agent Bowler."

"Ok what do you want?" He asked very annoyed.

Clint raised an eyebrow, "SHIELD was wanting to know what exactly happened when you were a spy at Mech."

Bowler grumbled something under his breath, "Look, I already gave them my report and told them that I was unable to uncover anything."

"Unfortunately SHIELD and I don't agree with you." Bowler just glared, "Look, there have been some incidents and I need to know who agent William Fowler works for."

Bowler gave him a daft look, "You SHIELD's second best spy, you should know that."

"I know he works for Unit E but what does he do?"

Bowler held no expression in his face, "You know as much as I Clint. Had I known anything I would have told SHIELD."

"So what happened that made you scrub the mission?"

"I was found out, there was no point in staying since I was caught."

"Ok fine, what do you know about Mech?" Clint pushed.

"What's with SHIELD's sudden interest in them? I thought they were a minor terrorist group not worthy of their attention?"

"Let's just say there were some incidents that grabbed our attention." Clint relaxed into the chair but held a firm gaze on Bowler.

"Oh?" Bowler asked.

Clint nodded, "You've heard of Steve Rogers?"

"The supper soldier created during WWII, I've heard of him and how SHIELD recently pulled him out."

"Ok, well apparently he encountered someone, Jemina Archer." Bowler's eye twitched a bit at the mention that name, "While he was recuperating there was a precarious incident but he was very much kept out of the loop. It raised SHIELD suspicions and Natasha and I were sent to investigate."

"I thought you wanted to know about Mech, not Ms. Archer?"

"Do you know her?" Clint asked hopefully.

"Not very well, Fowler knows her better than I do." He admitted, "Why?"

"She knew about SHIELD, and there was something else. I don't know what but she was hiding something."

"If its information you want on her I'm the last person you want to talk to, I don't tend to keep tabs on people."

Clint nodded, "Well, thanks anyways." He got up to leave, Bowler was hiding something. He knew more than he let on, when he twitched at her name…he knew there was something else. His mission wasn't the failure he reported, he could tell that, but it was obvious he was hiding it from everyone. With one last look at Bowler he left.

Clint hopped into his car and started the engine then drove away, heading towards Jasper. He looked over at the file sitting in the passenger's seat, it held all the information they had on Mech and Silas. He read over the part where it talked about Silas' fascination with alternate dimensions. He mulled it over for a bit, no, that's impossible. If they had managed to break into another dimension Bowler would have said so…He turned the radio on and began flipping through channels, normally restricted but working for SHIELD has its perks. As he was flipping through them he found one on a military channel that caught his attention, "Aim for the creepy crawly." A deep voiced man commanded. The sounds of gun fire filled his radio for several minutes.

"Thanks for coming agent Fowler." A young male voice said. Fowler? He tracked the signal to Jasper.

"If I had known 'cons were involved I would have called in Prime." The older male responded.

The younger one came back, "That might have been too much for mom to handle in one night…but it looks like Jemina got ahold of them, good." Panic then filled his voice, "Fowler they've got Jemina."

"All units spread out and…ah, not again!" Fowler yelled.

A new voice filled the radio, deep and at the beginnings of a growl, "Agent Fowler, is Jemina with Jack?"

"No, she isn't." The younger voice, Jack-Clint assumed, answered, "Optimus, M-mech still has her."

"Where did you see her last?" Optimus asked.

"At the hanger but…" He stopped and all chatter over that line ended.

Clint's eyes hardened, looks like he might finally get some answers. He gunned it, the gas petal on the floor, and speed as fast as the car would go to Jasper. He arrived at the coordinates that the transition had come from in about ten minutes. He pulled into a cement factory and looked around, quickly he parked his car then got out, grabbing his quiver and bow. Carefully Clint moved throughout the compound and eventually he made it to a hanger. He went inside but found nothing out of the ordinary, walking back out he moved closer to the silos where the concrete was mixed. As he got nearer he found the ground had been practically destroyed, looking closer he saw the indents of very large bullets. He combed the grounds for another hour but found nothing.

Growling he made his way back to his car and opened the channel again. After skimming through channels for a bit he found another channel being broadcast on, "Cleanup crews reroute to highway sixty-five, you might want back up." Fowler's voice Clint recognized. Clint smiled and sped away towards said mess.

He arrived shortly and would have been sick if he hadn't been trained to handle this kind of thing. Several cars were either crunched, on fire, or abandoned; while their passengers and drivers were laid strewn everywhere. Several firetrucks were putting out the car fires and even more paramedics and ambulances where carrying away injured. He wandered through the chaos and found a half reasonable, green clad soldier crawling out of a troop transportation truck. Quickly Clint walked over to him, the first thing he noticed was that his clothes were severely burned. Not burned as in caught in a fire, burned as in streaks emanating from a point on his lower abdomen. Defiantly not normal burn marks, "What happened here?" Clint asked in a very commanding tone.

"You don't know?" He spat, obviously in pain. Clint's gaze hardened, "I see the military doesn't even keep their own informed."

"Then do us a favor and fill in the gaps."

"Why should I?"

Clint nocked an arrow and pointed it at his thigh, "You'll save yourself a whole lot of pain."

The man didn't answer for a second then, "They caught us."

"Who?"

"The transformers. I don't know how but they did."

Clint raised an eyebrow, "How did you get those burns?"

"She shot us with our own weapons." He spat.

"Who is she?"

"Project Novae Terrae (Nov-I Ter-I)."

Clint was getting tired of his three word answers, "What is project Novae Terrae?"

"It's what will give Mech the advantage to win the next war." He hissed.

"What war? Is she another supper soldier?!"

"It is the war brewing between the new world order and the newest…And you could say that; except project Novae Terrae is faster, stronger, and far more dangerous." The man answered, smiling under his mask, before crumbling to the ground in exhaustion.

Two paramedics came over and took the man away, "Who are you and what are you doing here?!" One of the paramedics yelled.

"I work with SHIELD and was sent to investigate some strange, occurrences."

"Well you're done here now move out of the way! SHIELD, has to interfere with everything…" The medic mumbled as he began checking the men still in the back of the truck.

Clint left and drove back to Jasper, he most defiantly had not been expecting that. Though he had learned more in one night than he had in a month. Project Novae Terrae…the thought of someone being better than Captain America, the thought scared him. And that someone was a she! Then a thought struck him, Jack, Fowler, and Optimus, whoever he is, was downright worried that Mech had kidnapped Jemina…and that soldier said that Novae Terrae was a female. There's no way that girl is a super soldier…is there? Clint battled with his thoughts the rest of the way back to Jasper.


Tony groaned as he laid his head back on the couch, he was so bored! Natalie had come over earlier and Pepper had insisted, more like demanded, that he come up and speak with her. At first she kept asking about Jemina but after a while of him not answering anything she had move on and was now talking with Pepper. Jemina, Raf, hm…wonder how their doing? Tony pulled out his phone and dialed Raf's number, it rang for a bit until he finally picked up, "Hello?" Raf's voice came through, very uncertain.

"Hey Raf, what's up?" Tony asked, grateful the kid had picked up, he could relieve some of his boredom now.

Raf's voice caught, "Uhm, a lot. Something happened and…"

Stark's face paled a bit, "Raf, are you ok? What happened?"

Natasha heard Tony talking but didn't show it, at this moment in time, "Oh I'm fine…it's Jemina. Oh Raf quit worrying, I'll be fine." Tony could hear Jemina yelling.

"What. Happened?" He growled.

"Had a little run in with Mech…" Jemina began to answer before Ratchet cut her off, "Jemina Arwen Archer! You will stop using your powers this instant!" Jemina's voice sounded desperate, "But I'm sooo booorrrrred."

"Did she pass out because she overexerted herself again?" He asked.

"No," Raf sounded shaky, "She got shot."

"What!?" Tony yelled at the top of his lungs, making both Pepper and Natalie jump and both looked equally worried, "She was shot!? Who did it? I swear I'll shut them down so hard they'll never even have hope they can start back up."

Pepper had heard that threat before and she knew he would do it, she just wondered what had happened to Raf, "You'll have to get in line, Optimus is already ready to kill him." Raf said in a barely audible whisper.

Tony stormed out of the room and headed down to his lab/workspace/garage, "Raf tell Ratchet to open up a ground bridge, I'm coming over." Once he entered his lab he called out to JARVIS, "Jarvis, I want this sector on lockdown, no one gets in…and I mean no one."

"Very well sir." Jarvis answered as a ground bridge appeared and Tony went through.

Natalie had followed Tony until he reach the hallway to go into his lab, it was locked. She tried to get in but the AI was surprisingly hard to hack. Pepper came down, "You're not going to be able to get him out for a while, he's ticked and needs time to cool down."

I'm sure he is, Natasha thought, "Thank you for allowing me to drop by but I'm afraid I must be going." She excused herself and left, she had a plane to catch. Clint had called the day before about finding new information on their previous case. She couldn't go at the time because Fury wanted someone to check in on Stark but now she was free, maybe she would learn what had Tony so upset…

Tony walked through the bridge and felt his stomach turn, he hated and loved that thing at the same time. Once he had his bearings he walked further into the base, "Thanks Ratchet." He quickly ran up the stairs to the platform and saw Jemina laying in a hospital bed staring at the ceiling with a look of pure boredom, "What…happened?"

She looked at him, "Kidnapped by Mech, shot in the shoulder, you know…just a normal average day." Jack lost the race against Miko then she quickly whispered, "Hay Jack, pass me the remote!"

"Ep, ep, ep! No! You're still not allowed to move your shoulder." Ratchet scolded.

Raf came over as Ratchet and Jemina then got into a very heated argument, "So, how are you?" He asked.

Tony just stood there for a second watching the two, "I was fine until I called you, why didn't you call sooner?! Or at all!?"

"Kinda forgot." Raf shrugged looking at Jemina.

"How is she?"

He shrugged, "Ratchet won't let her move her shoulder for another day and hardly lets her out of bed...to sum it up, she'd going crazy. For now she listens to Ratchet, as she defiantly doesn't want to reopen that wound," Tony gave her a curios look, he knew reopening wounds were bad, but Raf made it sound life threatening, "The bullet cut threw a major artery…"

"Ah," He said nodding his head, "Is she arguing with him just to have something to do?"

Raf nodded, "I think so. She talked to the other 'bots when they were here but there was an Energon stockpile they found and left to raid. Ever since she's been arguing with Ratchet for the heck of it."

Jemina seemed to have gotten pretty mad, "Ratchet, just because I write right handed doesn't mean I can't do anything with my left! It's called being ambidextrous! If you don't think that's a thing just ask Jayce, he's ambidextrous too!" Ratchet hmphed then turned around and began ignoring Jemina.

"Bored much?" He asked smiling.

"I'm going to have to go to the loony house if this keeps up." She sighed.

Suddenly a very girly scream was heard throughout the base, all heads turned to Ratchet as he jumped several meters back, "Jemina I swear upon the Allspark that that thing is going to be stepped on!"

There was clattering on the stairs and a black and white mass pounced onto Tony, pinning him to the floor. When he looked up at what was pinning him, he too very nearly let out a girly scream. Pinning him down was a very, very large dog…and it was growling not three inches from his face, "Aja, come!" Jemina commanded.

The dog looked at Tony for another second then bounded away to Jemina and jumping onto the bed with her and laying down. He got up and looked at the dog, if that's what you could call it, the thing was huge! Probably reaching three-and-a-half to four feet at the head, "What is that thing?"

Jemina laughed from her bed, "It's my dog, Aja."

Tony edged away from the bed and sat down at the table, keeping a watchful eye on the 'dog,' "What breed is it?"

"Border Collie/Timberwolf mix." She answered stroking its head.

"You live with a wolf and you still go shot?" She shrugged.

Suddenly Jemina perked up and looked down the hallway, "They're back Ratchet, and they got some Energon."

"Jemina…" He growled, "Rest."

"I can't help it Ratchet! Not all of my powers are used consciously." Ratchet huffed and turned back around.

Optimus came rolling into the room, towing his trailer behind him, "Bulkhead!" Miko yelled running down the platform, "Smash any 'cons?"

"Only a few Vehicons," Bulkhead said transforming.

Optimus activated his holoform and walked up the platform, "How are you doing Jemina?"

"Bored." She sighed.

Optimus turned around to face Tony, "Tony Stark, I didn't expect to see you here."

"When I hear that someone I know just gets shot I tend to get worried." Tony said, shooting a glare at Jemina.

Optimus smiled a bit, "I hope we didn't pull you away from anything important."

Tony snickered, "Heck no! You saved me from a cruel death of boredom."

"Ha! Finally!" Jack yelled.

Miko looked upset, "Yeah, don't expect it to last."

Jemina smiled as they started playing a new game, Jayce playing against Raf. Raf had a definite lead when Jayce's car suddenly shot passed Raf's and won. Jayce laughed gleefully while Raf just looked perplexed, Jemina just smiling mischievously. Tony shook his head, sneaky girl, before he walked over to Optimus' holoform which was giving a stern full in Jemina's direction, "I swear she's worse than Clifjumper at times." He mumbled.

Ratchet apparently noticed Optimus' look, "Jemina…" She gave him a look of 'what are you going to do about it?' "How's your shoulder feeling?"

She huffed, "It feels fine Ratchet."

"How are you doing with the pain?"

"I said before, there isn't much. Just a dull throb, I'll be fine without any pain meds. I can't think straight with them."

"Very well." Suddenly the proximity alarm went off. Ratchet check the incoming vehicle, "It is Nurse Darby."

Tony looked confused, "My mom." Jack explained.

A car pulled into the base and June got out and walked up to the platform, "It's a bit more crowded that I remember." She mused then walked over to Jemina, "How are you doing?"

She just looked at her for a second then, "Who."

"You of course," June said checking her arm.

Jemina huffed, "Ma quiltra alkes who, i Zhan dieles za alkes shuta Ratchet alkes galastple ka toh dielkple!"

June looked up in surprise and every other head turned to look at Jemina. Tony broke the silence, "W-what?" He choked.

"Et? Di zinno de eskessa Zentradian?" She asked smiling.

Jayce groaned, "Not aaagain."

"Do you know what she is saying Jayce?" Optimus asked.

He shook his head, "No, but I know she's speaking in Zentradian."

All the 'bots looked thoughtful for a bit. Tony leaned over to Jack and Miko and asked, "What are they doing?"

"Probably looking up what Zentradian is." Jack shrugged.

Optimus was the first one come back to the world, "Figure out what it is Optimus?" Raf asked hopefully.

"Not really. I found it…"

"But there's barely any words there, defiantly not enough to make more than a few very specific sentences…" Arcee said before Bee cut her off.

:And she only spoke a few words that were on the list.:

"That's because she made it up, finished it up I guess." Jayce said shrugging.

Miko almost looked horrified, "When? And why?!"

"I got bored in school so I figured why not?" Jemina answered her.

"She spoke English!" Tony cried.

"Oh, tou un." She said glaring at Tony.

"Ok, I may not have understood what you said but I know the tone for 'shut up.'"

"Good." She chuckled.

June finished checking her arm, "It's good, but you still aren't allowed to move it for another day."

"Deeee!" She cried hanging her head. Aja sat up and began licking her, "Gah! Stop it!"

Tony laughed, "I better be getting back before Pepper gets to worried and Natalie tries to break into my lab."

Jemina looked at him in the eye, "She's at your house?"

"Yes, well, she was. I don't know if she's still there. She's really interested in you, any ideas on why?" He figured he may as well ask.

"Yeah, but…did you say anything."

"No, I actually kept my mouth shut." He smirked. Ratchet activated a ground bridge and Tony went through and came out in his lab, "I've really got to figure out how they do that." He had Jarvis unlock the lockdown and sat down.

Pepper came down a minute later, "You ok Tony?"

"Yeah, just needed to check in with Raf."

"Is everyone ok?" Tony nodded, "Then why aren't you saying anything?"

"Just thinking, I'll be up for dinner in a minute." Pepper nodded and left, "Jarvis, bring up all files on Mech."

Jarvis brought up a few skimpy files, "This is all sir."

"This is pathetic. Jarvis check all systems for any information on Mech, and I don't care if you have to hack into SHIELD to get it." Tony ordered before leaving for dinner.


So I will put when Aja comes to the base for the first time in my next chapter of AWNW, Ratchet's reaction will be good ;-)

Also Novae Terrae is Latin for New World-at least, that's what google said...

TRANSLATIONS!:

"Ma quiltra alkes who, i Zhan dieles za alkes shuta Ratchet alkes galastple ka toh dielkple!" (My arm is fine, if I am dying it is because Ratchet is boring me to death!)

"Et? Di zinno de eskessa Zentradian?" (What? You don't understand Zentradian?)

"Oh, tou un." (Oh, shut up.)

"Deeee!" (Noooo!)
