To say that Jack was having trouble recharging would be an understatement. He hated it, but he just couldn't get rid of the dreams, the nightmares and the wars. It had gotten to the point where Bumblebee was starting to stay up with him, because the screams always woke him.
"Riptide, might I have a word?" Optimus asked and Jack nodded, leaving the tired Bumblebee and going over to the autobot leader who walked outside with Jack in tow.
"At this moment in time I believe it would be easier on both yourself and Bumblebee if you didn't share the same room as him anymore" Optimus told him and he blinked, optics shuttering for a moment before nodding.
"Okay" He replied and Optimus sighed, looking out at the desert as the sun cast an orange glow across the horizon, sending hazy waves of heat up into the sky.
"Instead you will be sharing a room with me"
Confusion flashed immediately over Jack's features and he stared confused at Optimus.
"Your going to face much worse than nightmares with the primes, and as I have already experienced it, it would be safer and easier for you to room with me until everything has settled down again" Optimus explained and Jack nodded in thought.
Well, only two more days and I have to tell them…or Bee will blow a gasket…
"Optimus sir, we've just received a signal from Rosestorm"
Optimus pressed his fingers to his helm to respond whilst Jack just tilted his head to the side to listen, he was worried that Rosestorm had contacted them at all.
"What does it say Ratchet?" Optimus asked and Jack stared at the horizon, or more particularly at the approaching dot in the sky.
"It's addressed to you Riptide, it says; 'I know all your secrets, I know your deepest darkest desires and your worst nightmares. You cannot change facts, nor can you change the truth. Until we are one, or until we are dead"
Jack glared at the dot as it landed in the distance and he turned to Optimus who was still blissfully ignorant.
"Optimus sir, can I have some time alone to think?" He asked and Optimus nodded.
"Do not stray too far Riptide, we must remain hidden" Optimus warned and Jack nodded.
"I know sir"
Optimus left without so much as a backwards glance and Jack glared at the dot. He knew it was her, because it flashed closer at an impossible speed.
Jack felt the electricity build up in his systems, and he bent his legs, before sprinted forwards at a speed unknown to mankind.
The collision sent dust flying into the air, but instead of floating back down to earth it held there, caught between two colliding forces that should never collide.
Like the same side of a magnet, they repelled each other with their similarities.
While the dust hung in the air the two of them did not, Rosestorm crashed her arm against Jack's shoulder and he kicked her in the stomach plating. Rosestorm vanished and appeared behind Jack who turned and caught her kick, using her momentum to throw her but before she landed she vanished again and came crashing down on top of Jack.
"Little boy, keeping secrets, cannot win cannot win" Rosestorm muttered in a darker voice than Jack was used to hearing but he ignored it.
"Can and will" He snarled and the onslaught continued.
Arcee felt strange, it was almost as if she was floating, but she couldn't be floating. She could feel the cool surface of a berth beneath her. She slowly clenched her fingers, feeling the cool berth beneath her fingers and twitching her head to the side as she did so with a gentle sigh. This was so comfortable, she could recharge here forever-
"Arcee? Can you here me?"
She groaned and weakly used her arm to push away at the offending speaker and rolled onto her side.
"Come on Arcee, wake up" Ratchet tried in a gentle voice and she groaned again and opened her optics to glare at Ratchet.
"ngh" She grunted and Ratchet beamed and looked up.
"Optimus, Arcee's awake" He called and there was a sudden rushing of feet as Ratchet helped Arcee sit up.
"Easy, you took quite a bit of damage, you wont be out in the field for a while" Ratchet warned her and she nodded.
She wasn't going to forget that anytime soon.
"How long?" She asked, and Bumblebee chirped his answer.
"Five days"
She nodded and looked down at Raff and Miko and frowned.
"Where's Jack?"
This took too long, sorry.
Bio team2, I agree, she is drabbling, and I'm getting kind of bored of writing it so now it'll be less drabble and more nonsensical nonsense.
Richard'sQueen aka LGFS, I don't have work, just homework, and that's pretty damn annoying so I understand. Thank you, I hope it continues to entertain you.
