Sorry for the long update guys. Not only doesn't my Microsoft word works anymore but I have been busy with coursework and exams. Damn school as well as loss of muse along with my brother being in hospital and baby-sitting my little sister. So please enjoy this very very late chapter.

Chapter 21

"SUNSTREAKER! SIDESWIPE!" my father yelled in anger as he chased after the lambo twins.

I laughed slightly at the sight of him before I turned to talk to Jazz, who was smirking at the sight of my dad. Dad was covered in bright hot pink and orange paint, with smiley faces and confetti coming out of his cannons; that had made everyone look at him in confusion when he had entered the main hanger before some laughed behind their hands or just out loud-like me-and cause Prowl to glitch at the sight of my different coloured father. The twins laughed and pointed before my dad started to chase them, threating them and saying they were not anywhere near me for a month because of it.

"Remind me to remember this moment," I told Jazz as we watched the twins be beaten up by my father.

"Yo old Hide looks pissed," Skids said as he walked over to us. "Karen ya father won't be too happy bout this."

"Ya don't say," I replied before I saw Ironfist pulling my dad away from my boyfriend and best friend. "Thanks' uncle. I thought someone else would stop him."

"Karen get back here," Ironfist said as he chased after me as I laughed. "I'll teach you to call me uncle girl."

"AHH! HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!" I screamed laughing as I ran, making some of the soldiers stop and laugh when they figured what was going on.

"Another normal Saturday at base," Will say as he watched us all. "Epps this is normal what happened to abnormal?"

"It went away the moment we met this guys Will and you can say that again about this being a normal Saturday," Epps replied as he reached out a hand and grabbed me as I ran past him. "Okay you two we have a base to run and our new director is coming in two hours so go and sort out the others."

"I thought Will was in charge?" I asked teasingly before I ran off to tell the guys to sort themselves out with Ironfist after me.

"Optimus we have a new director coming," I announced as I climbed up the platform to be level with the autobot leader. "Get ready for a possible glitch head guys."

"Karen watch your language," my dad scold as he walked past us, scooping me up as he went. "Mind helping me with a car wash Karen?"

"Sure dad does this got to my allowance?" I asked smiling sweetly, as he placed me on the ground.

"Your college fund that has decreased for some reason," he said glaring at me accusingly before he transformed into his GMC truck and his hologram appeared in front of me.

"Had to buy that paint for Sunny as he wouldn't shut up," I replied defensively, "And you didn't say I couldn't dad."

He sighed before he handed me a sponge as he deactivated his hologram as some music left his speakers as I removed the pink and orange paint as I slightly glared at the twins as they whistled innocently as my dad growled.

"Dad why not give them a taste of their own medicine," I suggested as I stood on back to reach the top of his cabin. "Get the others to help."

"I think I might," he replied as he splashed me with the hose pipe as his hologram laughed at me as I chased after him

Forty minutes later

I sighed as I hopped out of the shower and pulled on my white tank top and blue shorts before I felt two arms wrap around my waist and place a kiss on my hair.

"Sunny what you want?" I asked as I turned to face the yellow twin's hologram.

"Everyone is after me," he replied, pouting sadly. "That idea has become mine and Sides nightmare."

"You don't have nightmares or dreams," I replied as we went into my room as Sides lay on my bed staring at us both. "Sides move."

"Oh but Karen we need your help," he pouted as me and Sunny sat by him.

"Hey I'm helping them get you two," I said smirking as I switched on my stereo. "Ask the other twins."

"Sunny your girlfriend is mean," Sides moaned as I went to find my dad.

"Dad they're sulking," I said still smirking as he walked into the apartment. "So how the pranks coming along."

"Piece of cake," he said. "Prowl is gonna glitch at the end of it."

I laughed as Annabelle and Sarah walked in. Sarah holds a couple buckets of paint that made me frown as Annie placed a bag of paint brushes and rollers on the table.

"Dad what you doing?" I asked as Sunny and Sides disappeared at the smirk over my father's face.

"Like I said Karen this pranks are going to wish they were never sparked," he said. "Well with a spark for pranking," he quickly added as I glared at him.

I nodded before my phone rang. Picking it up, I saw that it was Mikaela making me frown as I answered it.

"Hey Keala what's up?" I asked the moment I answered it.

"Karen can you come and get me please?" she asked hoarsely. "I need someone to talk to."

"Sure what's wrong?" I asked as I went to find Mirage as he was going the way she lived.

"I tell you when you get here," she replied. "And hurry please."

I frowned as she hangs up on me; not before I heard her give a sob as I found Mirage.

"Rage can you give me a lift?" I asked as he looked down at me. "I need to see Keala and you're going past that way."

"No problem Karen," he replied as he transformed into a red Ferrari. "Let's go chichi."

Placing my hair out of its messy bun, I positioned my sunglasses on top of my head as he drove to Tranquillity away from our base in the mountains. Ever since the cons located the shard in September we have made four different bases in the states as well as others scattered across the globe. The common one was the one we used for the last year or so for civilian safety and so that I could attend school without changing schools. One of the bases was underground and none of us knew the location apart from Prime who wouldn't tell us unless he had to.

I sighed, as Rage's hologram looked at me from out of the corner of his eye as he drove down the dirt track before he reached the interstate. It was no secret that Mirage hated being a guardian for any of the us humans but as Optimus had made it stern that he had to deal with it he did but he vented to Sunny about it.

"So enjoying Earth?" I asked as he opened his windows.

"It is nice but not at all like Cybertron," he replied. "But it has some charming features and the fact that your dad meet you mom here. I heard about the pretender and how you reacted about the wreckers nearly being hurt."

I sighed sadly as his windows lowed a bit me due to the heat. The humid air and heat made me smile slightly as he neared the city limits of Tranquillity. Rage gave a growl as a couple of teenage boys drove past us and throw some insults at Rage.

"Karen do not speak a word to this to anyone," he said as he quickened his speed and slammed into one of the cars before driving off.

I heard another car's engine try to overtake us as he increased his speed and tightened the seatbelt around me as he turned a corner and left the other cars to eat his dust as we made down a main high street as his engine slowed down a bit before we reached the garage Mikaela and her father owned and worked at.

"I'll see you later Mirage," I said as I got out of the car and make my way into the car shop to find the nineteen year old.

Some of the staff nodded as they saw me and pointed to the one area of the garage Keala was always in whenever I came here. As I reached one of the doors that she would be in I saw Sam and a blonde girl. When Sam saw me he paled slightly as I figured what had happened as the girl just looked annoyed; well she was getting her white high heels covered in grease and car oil.

"Sam please for the love of Primus you have not done what I'm thinking," I half pleaded as he backed away from the half angry glare I was giving him.

"Well...you see... just punch me already," he stuttered out as I clenched my hands into fists.

I punched him in the jaw and stomach as the girl gave a scream as I belted up Sam.

"Karen no," the voice of Mr Banes said as he pulled me away from Sam. "He isn't worth your time. You're here because of Keala not him so leave him as he is."

I nodded as Sam got up and looked at me in regret as he left the garage.

"I should cut his dick off and make his gold digger eat it," I half growled as he opened the door to where Mikaela was.

The room was quiet with no sound of anything in there as some of the tools were scattered on the ground. Wheelie looked up at me as I made my way to the only chair in here where I could see the top of Mikaela's head. I made my way over to her and beckoned for Wheelie to follow me. Ever since Egypt he had always been with Keala and also acting like a beacon for any of the bots that crashed landed here so that Keala and Wheelie could contact base or me.

"Keala?" I asked uncertain on what to say to her. "Hey you want to talk about it?"

She looked up at me and I saw that her brown eyes were full of tears. I sighed, feeling anger at the fact she was one of the strong willed people that I know and she had been resulted to this.

"Hey his jerk and you deserve better," I said as I wrapped an arm around her and hugged her. "Come on. What happened to the girl that can face down cons and walk away with some scratches and bruises and still be able to look after her father and be one of the best mechanics on Autobot base? I tell you who, you Mikaela."

"Thanks Karen," she said as she wiped away some tears. "You're right. I shouldn't let Sam get me down. I'm young and single and he cheated so why should I be the one crying. "

"So where's that smile?" I asked, smiling.

She smiled slightly and gave a small laugh as Wheelie hopped onto the table.

"Now that's Warrior Goddess," he said laughing along with us. "Hey Karen want to see my new friend?"

"Does it involve that laptop that everyone is talking about?" I asked as he pointed to laptop sitting on Mikaela's desk.

"Yeah," he replied. "That police car autobot was here earlier saying that I had to teach him how to behave and all that slag."

I nodded as I touched the laptop and watched as it did the transformation process I had seen so many times but still fascinated me on how the metal twisted and moved to form the body of a transformer. When the transformation had finished I was meet by two bright blue optics staring me in curiosity as I stared back.

"Hello," I said gently.

One rule I had learned from new Autobots was that some could be jerks, shy or just downright rude but also some could be nice, loud and have a reason to make the base laugh at silly and tough times. This autobot looked at me in confusion before it raised its left hand servo and waved it at me. I waved back, smiling softly as they walked closer to where I sat on the floor.

"Hello to you too," he replied. "Names Brains and you must be Karen, the weapon specialist's daughter."

"Everyone knows that," I said smiling. "How you looking Earth Brains?"

"Well Sam was a jerk and dumped me here," he replied. "Mikaela and Wheelie I like as they are showing me around Earth, and you I've heard from reputation as being able to give your father a run for his ammo."

I laughed, as Mikaela and Wheelie joined in at the last part.

"My dad is my dad," I answered. "He means a lot to me and I would do anything to keep him save. Even when he would tell me off for being reckless and getting hurt."

"Any more news on the Decepticons?" Mikaela asked.

"The last I heard, Megs and Screamer are somewhere in Africa or so and that they aren't causing any trouble at this common moment in time. The shard Sam gave to you is with Optimus and no one has any idea where he put it. And there have been some rumours of the cons making a new preed of warriors so that means the base is getting ready for that as well as sending a message to the Wrecker to be ready for any calls and also the moon and Mars team."

"Who is on the Moon and Mars anyway?" Mikaela asked.

"The Dinobots, Preceptor, Blaster and the Technobots are on the Moon, Omega Post 2," I answered before continuing. "The Airal bots, Protctobots, Hound, Brawl and Flare-Up are one Mars while Sky Lynx and Cosmos are somewhere in between and some of our guys dotted around Venus and Earth. I meet some of them last summer. Grimlock was very strange."

"Hmm... I'm guessing a dinobot?" Mikaela asked unsure.

"Yep and he is kinda like their leader," I confirmed. "I once asked Ratchet how they were made and he said don't ask that. Dad glared at their name while Optimus and Prowl looked at each as if to say I was asking for something a didn't want to know."

Mikaela smiled before my phone started to ring. Bring it out of my pocket and seeing the caller I.D I saw that is was Sunny. Pressing answer, I frowned as he usually texted me before calling me unless it was important.

"Hello," I said confusion clear in my voice.

"Karen you still at the garage?" he asked, concern and worry clear in his voice.

"Yeah what's going on?" I asked still slightly confused.

"We just got a breach in security and we need every ally and bot back on base," he replied. "Tell Mikaela and those two glitch heads as well. I and Jazz will be there in two minutes. I love you."

"I'll tell the guys. And I love you too," I said before ending the call. Wheelie Brains did you hear the conversation?"

"Yep and we're ready to go," Wheelie said as Brains told Mikaela who started to rush around to grab some tools and her bag.

I nodded as Brains transformed back into the Laptop I picked up and placed in my bag, while Wheelie transformed into a small monster truck and followed me out of the garage and onto the street just as Sunny and Jazz pulled up. Mikaela went to Jazz who was her guardian when she was on base, while I went to Sunny. He watched me as I opened his door and slide into the passenger seat.

"Hey," I greeted as he drove away from the kerb. "What happened to cause a breach?"

"No one knows," he replied. "Red Alert is confused and your father is worried, and Optimus believes that it could be the cons."

He muttered something else under his breath I couldn't hear, as I undid my seat belt and crawled into his holograms lap.

"Karen if your father or Prowl realises I let you not wear a seatbelt they will kill me," he said, as he looked at me.

"Well, if you put the driving seat belt over us, than they can't say that I didn't wear a seat belt," I replied, smiling.

"Good point," he replied, as the seat belt slide around us both as he placed an arm around me. "Your dad said he won't prank us until this is over."

"That's good," I said before his commlink started ringing.

"Sunstreaker here," he said, as he pressed a button on his radio console. "Go ahead Red Alert."

"Sunstreaker Primes order are to get Karen, Jazz and Mikaela to location Longitude 93 04'35 E and Latitude 13, 19'59 N. Prime and the others will meet you there," he replied, as we heard gunshots emitting through the commlink.

"Wait Red what's happening?" I demanded as Jazz pulled I front of us.

"Security Breach and something else," was his only reply. "Karen I know you want to know more but it isn't mine or Sunstreaker's choice. Please for the love of Primus get to the location for your father's sake. Till all are one."

"Tell the guys I love them and that they will get back here soon," I said, as some tear left my eyes. "Please Red Alert tell them."

"As you wish," he said before the commlink went dead.

Sunny watched me as I closed my eyes and hit my palm against my thigh as I cried in worry before he reclined his seat so that I was lying on his chest.

"Karen stop," he whispered as he brushed my hair. "Our family knows what it is doing… your mother knows what she is doing even if she hasn't been around for the last fourteen years."

"My mother?" I asked, confused as I looked at him. "What in the name of Primus has my fragging mother got to do with this?"

"Well… not my place," he replied.

"Sunstreaker tell me now!" I ordered.

"Your mother she works for a team that deal with the inter dimensions and galaxies," he said. "Your father and she weren't supposed to be getting together but they did. Due to that, she was allowed one year with you before she had to leave for a mission in planet X. That is the last we heard of her or Primal."

I frowned slightly as we reached a temporary base that would give us the transport to get to the location. My thoughts went to my father and my mother and I wondered if I would see them anytime soon.

Anyone guess where they're going? Please R&R
