Hi guys! Wow, I'm so happy that so many of you are enjoying my story! It means so much to me guys! ) thanks for all the great reviews/suggestions/comments. They're all really great!

Disclaimer: do I have to? (Ratchet, Lyn, the twins and everyone else nod their heads.) Oh alright, if I must…I do not, never have, never will own enough money to own or even claim to own the Transformers. (Eyes Lyn warily) I only own… (Lyn cocks her eyebrow) gulp…I only one DVD of the movie. That's all, I swear!


Lyn gazed at the giant mech in front of her. He was by far the largest of the robots there, his blue and red flame armour standing out from the others. He had an aura of authority around him, and she found that she could be quite easily intimidated by him, if it wasn't for the soft calmness that shone in his optics. She immediately saw why he was the leader. He commanded with respect, earning respect, or at least that's what she figured. He looked around the room.

"At ease," he commanded, his deep voice seeming to reverberate around the room. The noise soon escalated again. Lyn heard him chuckle.

"You must be the young lady Ratchet and the twins rescued the other day?" he asked. Lyn looked up, her bright green eyes meeting his soft baby blue optics. The red Lamborghini grinned.

"Yes sir. My name's Lyn Xanders," she replied, trying to inject a little confidence into her voice. He seemed to have sensed it and smiled.

"I'm guessing that you have met the rest of the Autobots?"

"Yeah she has, Prime. Took her round myself," Sideswipe replied for her. The red and blue mech nodded.

"Very well. Have you met the other humans?"

"Well, I met the teenagers, but Ratchet told me that there are three adults here, as well."

"There are. I believe Ironhide is bringing one of them in as we speak." As if on cue, a black GMC Topkick drove into the lounge. A man with brown/blonde spiked hair jumped out before the car transformed. Lyn's eyes widened in shock. She soon overcame it when she took a good look at the man. Ironhide looked to her, growled at Sideswipe and then followed Optimus to give his report.

"Sideswipe, put me down?" she asked. He nodded. As soon as her feet touched the floor she practically ran to the man.

"Captain William Lennox. Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?" she asked, stopping a couple of feet away. The Special Ops Captain turned around.

"Lynx? What are you doing here?" he asked, giving her a quick hug. She hissed as pain shot through her side. He immediately let her go. "What happened? And how do you know these guys?" he asked, concern in his eyes.

"Let's just say that I had a not so friendly encounter with a police car," she smiled. Sideswipe, who had been looking confused at the time, asked them the one question that had been plaguing his mind.

"Erm, don't really wanna interrupt but, how do you know each other and why Lynx?" Will and Lyn exchanged knowing glances.

"Well Sides, this young woman here, her pop's an old friend of mine."

"He was in the army as well, only he was a medic. And my nickname's Lynx because of my initials- Lyn Xanders, Lyn X, so- Lynx." The red Lamborghini nodded slowly, his optics suddenly widening.

"Wait, you said your father was a medic for the army?" Lyn nodded. His expression changed to mock disappointment. "Aw, that means you're related to a human Ratchet!" he groaned. An indignant shout behind him soon caught his attention. Said medic was stood not more than ten feet away, hands on hips and beginning to look rather peeved.

"Oh, heh, hey Doc." One step forward by the medic had Sideswipe hightailing it out of the lounge. Lyn laughed and shook her head. She turned to Will.

"So how are you?" he asked.

"Well, you know, a little sore, but on the whole I'm fine." Will smiled. He was about to say something when he was interrupted.

"Oh, hi Ratchet. How are things?"

"Not bad. Lyn, I need to take you back to the med bay and give you a quick check over." Lyn frowned slightly.

"But, I'm fine Ratchet. You don't need to…"

"You're heart rate seems to have peaked, and you're core temperature has risen. I need to check the injuries to make sure that they're not infected."

"But…"

"I'm not arguing." The tone of his voice immediately stopped whatever argument was forming. She sighed.

"Oh, alright. Evidently there is no arguing with you. Catch you later, Will."

"See you around, Lynx." The CMO and the paramedic left the lounge, making their way back to the med bay. Bumblebee crouched next to the army captain, his two charges next to him.

"What was all that about?" Sam asked.

"No idea." Mikaela looked up to Bumblebee, a knowing look in her eyes. She smiled along with him.

In the med bay, Lyn was sat on the table again. She sighed in irritation.

"For the last time, Ratchet. I'm fine. I'd know if there was anything wrong. I've been a paramedic for long enough. It was probably just because of the excitement." Ratchet grunted.

"I don't care. My scanners picked up something, and I'm going to find out what." Lyn sighed again, suddenly feeling very tired.

"Fine, do what you want." Ratchet looked at her, concern in his optics. Something wasn't right with her. Her heart rate had gone down now, but her core temperature was still the same. She yawned.

"Actually, now that I think about it, I do feel tired. I think I'm going to take a nap." With that, she lay down and almost immediately went to sleep.

"Lyn? Lyn, wake up. I need you awake so that I can check you properly. Lyn?" There was no response. Cursing under his breath, Ratchet conducted another scan. Her heart rate had slowed and her breathing had deepened. Maybe she has just gone to sleep? He thought, against his better judgment. Activating his holoform, he knelt down next to her, checking her injuries at close range. There didn't seem to be any signs of infection. In fact, there was hardly any sign of injury! Apart from the slight break and the scars on the back, legs and arms where she had suffered burns, there was hardly anything to suggest that only three days ago, she had been severely injured. Scratching his head in confusion, his holoform disappeared. She hadn't gotten any worse, to say the least. What confused him was how her injuries had gone down. Very odd. However, as confused as he was, he couldn't help the small smile from crossing his lips. She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping, and the way she had laid down, with her auburn hair fanning out slightly behind her, was enough to melt his spark. She was quite beautiful. Shaking his head, he got back to the job in hand.

Making sure she was comfortable, scanning her and trying to treat her in the best possible way he could, Ratchet finally sat at the work bench. He didn't want to leave her side, even for a moment. He told himself that it was because he didn't want anything to happen while he wasn't in the room. He wanted to be there in case something went wrong. His spark told him otherwise. He was confused, which rarely happened to him. What had happened to her? Why did she suddenly lose energy? And why was he worrying about her when he hardly even knew her? With a sigh, he stood up and walked to the door of his office.

"Ratchet?" Quickly turning round, he saw Lyn sitting up.

"Lyn? What happened?" The paramedic looked to the CMO.

"You tell me, you're the medic." Ratchet walked back up to the berth.

"You lost energy and just…fell asleep. I couldn't wake you. You had me worried." She could see the concern shining in his optics. She blushed slightly, looking down at the berth. "What's the matter Lyn? Is there something you're not telling us?" Lyn sighed.

"Well, in all honesty, I don't really know what happened. Something like this has happened before after I was injured on a routine patrol of the city. I was out for almost a day, or so I was told."

"Do you have any idea why?"

"All I know is that when I did wake up, any injuries I'd suffered had almost healed. Just like that." She snapped her fingers. Ratchet was listening intently.

"Did you not tell anyone?" he asked. Lyn's head shot up, and the look in her eyes almost screamed indignity.

"No! How could I tell anyone? Human's do not heal that fast. If I told anyone, do you know what they would do to me?" Ratchet shook his head. He knew that she wouldn't exactly be treated kindly. He sighed. Lyn's expression softened as she smiled slightly. He had been worried about her. She could practically feel the relief emanating from him. She sighed softly.

"Hey, Ratchet?" Her brow was furrowed slightly.

"Yes, Lyn?"

"When can I go home?"
