The door cracked open and I stepped around it. "Its Rossi. Everything is ok, put that down." Emily sagged some, tucking her gun away. "Now tell the others to leave, except Reid. I need to talk to him." She looked confused before doing as asked. "I found Rossi, he wants us to pull out, except Reid." A few clicks of static sounded from the radio before Hotch spoke from it. "You're sure everything is ok Prentis?" She looked at me and I nodded. "Yeah Hotch, everything is fine." "OK, we're pulling out. Reid is staying in the living room." I sighed. "Thank you. You can go too." For a second she watched me before finally turning and walking away as I followed. Reid was standing in the middle of the room just as stated when we stepped out of the hall way. "What's going on?" "Just wait. Thank you Emily." She nodded and closed the door behind her, leaving me with Spencer. "What's this about Rossi?" I glanced his way. "You know how you were insisting that you saw metal under Jazz's skin when he caught the guy at the mall. Let's assume you're right." He looked confused and a little excited. "OK!" "Good. Now I really need you to relax and not get too wound up. Apparently something happened with Samantha that Jazz didn't even know was possible. She's OK, but she's not the same as before. What you saw in the mall was just a disguise to blend in like you thought. When Samantha changed Jazz was worried that us leaving would upset her more than she already was. You with me so far?" He nodded rapidly. "So Jazz really is a robot!" "And now Samantha is too. Because they were together something reacted that I don't really understand, but it changed her into one of him. He was very adamant that I not bring you down unless you were OK with her. So, you good?" Another quick nod of his head was given and I sighed. "Its really weird but I can't wait to learn about them! I always thought that those sightings of robots were real and just being covered up! Now I get to see one in person! Think of how much we can learn from them!" He bounced some and I'd be hard pressed to miss how excited he was. "Just calm down, Samantha is still trying to come to terms with this and is pretty upset that her body doesn't work the same as before just yet. She doesn't need a lot of excitement right now." He stopped bouncing, calming some before nodding and I lead the way back to the basement.

Jazz POV: The floor squeaked softly as the sound of 2 sets of foot falls moved our way. Sam had calmed down a lot in the short time he was gone and was just enjoying her cuddles now. "Close up yer spark lil lady. They're coming back now." She shifted some before it spiraled shut just after mine. Her helm fins flicked around sharply before standing straight up like a crest when Spencer and David came into view. Spencer took several quick steps toward us before David caught his arm. "Remember, you need to calm down." He was excited? I hadn't expected that. "Its OK. Don't imagine him asking questions will bother her. Just didn't want him to take it badly and hurt her." The spot next to me was filled almost instantly and it was hard not to see he was having trouble keeping his hands to himself. "Ah don't mind." He frowned but I took his hand setting it on my shoulder before he was going all over my frame. For several minutes Samantha's helm fins had slowly been lowering on top of her head until they were pinned to either side like a cat when it was angry. "Ya might wanna stop now." Spencer glanced up at me, hands still resting on my knee joint until Samantha jumped forward, batting them away as I laughed. She nearly tumbled from my lap and I just caught her as she grumbled at him. "OK OK. Simmer down ah won't let him touch meh anymore. Yer gettin pretty testy there lil lady." I bopped her nose and her optics crossed, trying to see my finger. A little grunt escaped and she grabbed it in her mouth before tucking herself against me as I rubbed either cheek. "Ya need a nap and more transfluid to heal up yer struts." Little denta nipped at my plating, chewing and sucking on the captured digit as I watched her fight recharge. I never thought I'd have a sparkling, much less like this. "What's she doing?" "Working on stretching her jaw cables and plating. She won't be up for much longer. Even though she was grown up as a human she's just a sparkling now and has to start all over again." Spencer tipped his head lightly, watching her before running a finger through her helm fins making them stand straight up. She whirled loudly and I just caught her before she managed to bite him. "OK. She's getting cranky, wouldn't touch her right now. Just let her calm down and get some recharge. Ah'll tell ya anything ya wanna know." His eyes brightened and he reclaimed the few steps he'd lost to sit on the couch once more as I answered all his questions.

Several hours later found us watching a new tv David had picked out and set up. Sam was still recharging and Spencer had finally gotten most of his questions out of the way. Now he was just watching us in awe. I was glad he wasn't opposed to her like this. It would've have caused her a lot of pain if they had left. A sharp whirl came from Samantha and she jumped slightly, grumbling before finally settling back into recharge. I chuckled lightly, rubbing down her helm as she sucked a little harder on my finger. "She really is just a baby..." "Ah think she'll have times where she'll be just her usual self, but she'll also slip back if she gets stressed or tried." Spencer watched her for a long few moments. "Too bad you don't know more about how this works. She seems happy though." I nodded, petting her fluff. "She took far better to the change that ah'd hoped. Right now her biggest upset is not being able to walk and do the things she's used to. She'll get stronger though, it won't take her long to be running about like before." A smile curved his lips up and he reached over to pet her helm as well. "I hope she doesn't stay so touchy over people being around you." That made me laugh. "She'll probably get worse. She's got meh coding and mechs and femmes of the meh same coding tend to be very possessive over who ever they see as a lover. Lil lady is just doing what her frame demands of her and right now ahm not worried about fighting her coding. She has enough to worry about." A soft squeak sounded from her as I slipped one finger into her hand so she could hold on. "So do you have different countries like we have?" My helm tipped side to side a little. "Sort of. There's major cities that are each ruled over by a family of nobles that protect the land. Each city has a different type of coding that is dominant there. Like meh city of Polyhex. Most bots there have coding that makes them more rough and dominate than other cities. One the main traits is the possessiveness we feel toward our lovers, we don't much like others getting too close or lovey with them. On the plus side there's not another decent that takes better care of them. Meh coding type is very attentive, don't do well in polygamy though. Bots from Iaconian and Praxian lines do best with 2 mates. They also share a lot of the same coding with minor differences between them. Like Prowl, he's a Praxian, if lil lady ran into him he'd almost certainly take her in as his sparkling. Iaconian flyers would do the same, but they would also watch over any bot that was carrying or going through a heat cycle. Prowl wouldn't do that. There's two classes of bots from Iacon, flyers called Seekers and non flyers. The non flyers don't usually share the same drive to care for Sparklings but they still do well in polygamy groups. Seekers and Praxian's don't do well without 2 mates. They tend to become depressed and sparksick far easier than others when deprived of one or both mates. That often leads to temporary bonds being formed even though the members have little to no interest in each other. It helps to settle their coding." Spencer was quite for a moment before nodding. "Your culture is really interesting. Guess it makes sense that you guys wouldn't all be the same." I smiled, roughing up his already messy hair. This had worked far better than I'd expected...
