I don't own Transformers.

I sat in the huge bird cage that Starscream had nearly thrown us into. I wasn't going to talk until Raff woke up. He, unlike the idiot who took us, understood early Shakespearean. Can anyone say "Secret language"?

Just as this popped into my head, the boy awoke. "Art thee, well, dear friend?" I asked and watched Starscream look confused. Raff looked around and I saw he was without his glasses. "Tis your friend. Doth thou knowest where he is?" he shook his head "Nay, but as my vision fail my hearing soars tell me, my lady, where for art we?" I smiled. "Trapped is our souls, like birds in a cage. And the warden is none other than one worse the he who has nursed me." Raff nodded and laughed.

After about ten minutes of talking complete and total nonsense in Shakespearean to each other, Starscream gave up any hope of trying to decode the practically dead language. I watched him leave and smiled "The coward runs for another day. Now, let get serious here." Raff nodded "I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna play Cinderella and wait for my Prince Charming to make the first move. I getting out of here." Raff stood shakily "How? We're probably miles off the ground, in an iron cage that was designed to hold us." I smiled sadly "I've been in tougher spots. And, because of that, I'm always prepared for anything." I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a small wasp shaped robot. It flew out of my palm and into the lock that kept the door closed. "Lucky Lock-pick will have that lock cleared in no time."

Sure enough, the tiny bot came back and the lock was undone.

I paced the base in a nervous mess. Raff was gone, Wasp was here, and another girl was missing as well. The others watched me pace for the hundredth time and Wasp stood "Well, I'd best be off. Knowing Air, she probably has them out by now and. . ." just then his com. rang "Hello?... Oh, hey, Air. We were just talking about you... Yes, we... How did I know you were going to say that?... Stop that... Okay, send me the location and I'll be there soon... Yeah, yeah, bye." Wasp turned to us. I pretty sure we were all shocked and showed it. "What she doesn't like to play Cinderella. Anywhosen, Air, and Raff are on the outskirt of Jasper," he informed us before transforming. I quickly followed suit. I still didn't understand how he couldn't hate me after what I did. But, I didn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

We sat outside a gas station waiting for our rides. "So, why did Mr. big-and-ugly take you?" I asked. He sighed "It's kind of a secret." I rolled my eyes "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." he sighed again "Fine, my best friend Bumblebee's an Autobot. That is the best thing I can think of." I watched him for a moment then grinned "Well, that's awkward. My best friend and guardian is Wasp. Your friend wrongfully sent him to jail." Raff paled. "Bee wouldn't do that on purpose!" he yelped. "I figured. Wasp and I think they were both set up."

At that moment, two identical cars pulled up. The green transformed into my worry-prone protector and the yellow Raff's. "Are you two alright?" asked Wasp. I nodded "In desperate need of a good nap, but unhurt." Raff glared at me "Speak for yourself. Ratchet is going to blow a gasket when he sees I fractured another rib. Bee, you better cover me here." the yellow bot beeped and nodded.
