Hey everyone!
Man this chapter is belated. To be honest I have had this chapter
written for like a week, but I'm back to working 40 hours a week and
its finals! Bright side is that since its finals week that means I'm almost
done with school which will give me more time to write about Bia's
adventures!
"What are you and you're sock-full of dust gunna do? Make the enemy sneeze
to death?" Leo yelled, exasptered from his spot beside Bia, who was quickly
growing annoyed as she was squished between the two men.
"Would you just stop yelling! He's working on it ok!" She snapped at the boy
whose constant exclamations were often accompanied by flailing limbs which
had knocked her more than once in her overly sensitive side. "You are working
on it, right Sammy?" she asked, peeking her head between the two front seats,
only to recline when a swat on the nose from the irritated boy who sat in the
driver's seat. With a pout she crossed her arms "Fine, see if I ever defend you
again." She caught his gaze in the rear view mirror and stuck her tongue out at
him which he returned. Both were startled from the childish antics however
when Mikaela yelled out,
"Sam!" His attention snapped forward to let out a startled 'whoa' as a jet nearly
skimmed bumblebee, who took a sharp right to avoid collision, thus tossing Bia
into Leo's waiting arms.
"I knew you could resist my Latin charms" Bia scoffed pushing off of Leo.
"As IF! Viejo Cochino!" she snapped back at him, switching into Spanish.
"Those are alien markings. That plane aint friendly!" Simmons warned from his
spot on Bia's left. Mikaela stuck her head out the passenger window and cast a
look behind the group.
"He's coming back!" she warned re-entering the vehicle.
Bia screamed as shots rained down on them, Bee doing his best to weave
through the bullets. She craned her neck back to try and see through the back
window, only catching a glimpse of the jet as it soared over head.
More shots came down on them and Bia clenched her fists, fear bubbling in her
stomach. One wrong move by Bee and they were toast. A soft whimper caught
her attention and she looked to see a shaking Leo, then all hell broke loose in
the speeding Camaro. He began screaming and crying which in turn caused ever
other person in the Camaro to scream back at the boy to tell him to shut up.
Simmons began than began to threaten the boy with a Taser, jabbing at him
over Bia's head with the sparking device. That was where she drew the line, she
turned the Simmons and with a snarl grabbed the Taser from his grasp and then
stabbed it into the crying boy's neck that let out a series of Ow's before falling
limp, his head lolling to the side. Silence filled the car and everyone turned to
look at the small girl who still held the Taser at the ready. She looked back at
them with a raised brow before clicking the Taser off and stuffing it into her
pants pocket.
"What?" Another volley of shots rained down on them bringing everyone's
attention back to the matters at hand.
Bee swerved, his back end fishtailing in the loose sand, sending the unconscious
Leo straight into Leo's chest.
"Bee!" She whined, trying to push the boy back into a sitting position to no
avail. As he fell again, face first into her cleavage the effects of the Taser began
to wear off. She shuddered heaved the boy off of her after he began to mumble
and nuzzle into her breasts. "I call shot gun next time." She said bitterly,
glaring up at Mikaela who sat comfortably.
Bia couldn't hold back a cry when the jet came crashing down to earth,
transforming as it did, Bee barely skating through its legs before avoiding a
missile that was let loose as the bot fell to the earth.
"The dust, hide in the dust!" Simmons commanded. The train of cars
disappeared into the cloud of dust and quickly swerved to a stop once out of
range of their assailant. Everyone piled out of the car, including the now
conscious Leo.
"We got to split up, Bumblebee you're the decoy, lead the Decepticons away."
Sam commanded "I'm going to get to Optimus." He was speaking to Simmons
now who quickly took up his role.
"I'll help draw their fire with hooey and Looey there," he motioned to Skids and
Mudflap "You need to get to those soldiers" there was a moment of a solemn
air. "I hope that dust works kid." He finished. Sam nodding and turning to
leave. He reached his hand out to Bia, but she didn't take it.
"I'm going with Bee." She stated simple, causing Sam to stutter out a chorus of
no's while shaking his head frantically. She planted her hands on her hips and
set her face in a firm scowl. "Why not?"
"Because it's not safe! No, you're coming with me where I can make sure you're
ok!" She rolled her eyes at his remark.
"Sam, I can barely breathe, yesterday I was spitting up blood, and you think it's
better for me to run across the desert with you? You can't protect me if
anything happens, and I'll just slow you down." She shook her head "Nope, I'm
staying with Bee." Sam stomped towards Bumblebee who transformed and
looked between the two Witwickeys who stared up at him.
"Tell her!" he commanded "Tell her it's not safe and she can't go with you!" Bee
looked to Bia who stared right back up at him. She had changed since last
night, the fear was gone, and instead he saw determination in the brown eyes
that looked up at him. He couldn't deny her now, not when he was the one who
encouraged her that she would get the chance to prove herself. Perhaps this
was her chance, and who was he to deny her that. He groaned and looked to
Sam.
"But Sam…" Those two words sent Sam into a tizzy and Bumblebee looked to
Bia for help. She smiled broadly up at him, sending warmth through his circuits.
She stepped forward and put a gently hand on Sam's shoulder. He spun around
to face her and she quickly wrapped her arms around his waist in a tight hug.
He quickly returned the embrace and she smiled into his chest. He was always
so small when they were little, now he towered over her, having to bend over
slightly to reciprocate the hug.
"I know you scared Sammy, and I know you just want what's best for me, but I
have to do this. Everyone else has someone watching their back except him. I
won't leave him alone. He saved me Sam, when I ran from him, when I was
afraid from him, and now I need to return the favor. You have to let me go."
She whispered just loud enough for Sam to hear, but he didn't let her go, in fact
he held on tighter. Bee whose advanced processors had been able to pick up on
Bia's whispers gently bent down and rested a finger on Sam's shoulder. The boy
looked over his shoulder at him, inner conflict clear on the young man's face.
"Sam, I will protect her. No matter what" Sam stared back at him, still torn and
Bee sighed. "With my life if need be." Bia's head shot up at that, and she stared
at him, mouth open and eyes bewildered. Bee returned his full gaze to Sam. "I
promise" and he did. He promised to himself right then and there that he
wouldn't let any harm come to his new companion as long as his spark still
burned. Sam sighed and looked to Bia who had regained her composure and
looked up at him from her place around his waist.
"Don't do anything stupid, ok?" she smiled up at him and gave his torso another
quick squeeze. "Speak for yourself Sammy" he smiled and hugged her back.
"I don't mean to ruin the moment," Simmons chimed in "but I think our friend is
coming back to say hello." They looked up to where Simmons finger pointed and
in deed Starscream's figure was steadily getting closer. The two cousins split
up, and Sam watched as Bia made her way to Bee, smile on her face.
"Bee!" Sam called out and Bia froze mid-step, waiting for him to take back his
blessing. He cracked a grin though "have her home before eleven, and no funny
business!" Bia laughed and turned back to Bee who gave a salute and
transformed back into his alternate mode, popping his passenger door open for
her.
"Excuse me! I'm driving" Bee let out a whistle and he quickly opened the
driver's door which Bia slid into before kicking up a cloud of dust as Bia stomped
on the Gas with a Whoop. Sam paused for a moment to watch his best friend,
and cousin disappear into the dust before Mikaela tugging on his arm drug him
away to his mission.
Looks like Bia is back in action!
Favorite part of this chapter? What do you think will transpire between
Bia and Bee now that their finally alone. Will the B's (Bia and Bee ;))
reunite with the group heroically, or in less than desirable
circumstances? How do you think Bia will react to Sam's death…thing?
Bia is getting close to meeting up with the rest of the Autobot clan, how
do you think that introduction will go?
Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for your patience!
