We were standing in the center of the main hanger I was on Sunstreaker's shoulder looking to Optimus. I tore my eyes away from him when I got the feeling someone was watching me again.

I turned around to see all the Autobots just staring at me. I frowned, and turned back to Sunstreaker. "Sunny why are they just staring at us?" He turned around to look at them.

He sent them a nasty glare, then turned back around. I saw Jazz walk up to us I waved at him he sent a wave back my way. As I turned to look at Optimus my vision switched to the X-ray vision.

In shock at the sudden switch I yelped and fell backwards. I felt someone catch me, but I couldn't see who it was. I tried to switch my vision back, but it wouldn't switch.

It would almost switch then jitter back to the X-ray vision, almost like a tv that lost connection.

"Kat what is wrong?" I looked to the voice in fear. "I can't see right." I rubbed at my eyes vigorously. "Switch your vision back Electric." He told me I could tell it was Sideswipe talking which mean he caught me. "I tried I can't."

I felt him hand me over to someone else. "It's ok Kat it will come back." I knew that was Sunstreaker talking I nodded at him. He held me close to his spark.

I whimpered quietly I was scared I was never going to see again. "Is she ok?" I knew that was Optimus' deep voice. "Yes. Her vision switches to an X-ray type vision we're she can only see electricity."

"Ok… We have readings that newcomers are going to land in approximately 5 hours in a place called Death Valley.." He slowly drifted off after saying death valley, no surprise there though. I thought I should explain why it was called Death Valley.

"Optimus it's only called Death Valley because it's one of the driest places in the US, and years and years ago some pioneers went, and tried to go through the valley some gave up and turned back, a few decided to keep going there way through one pioneer ended up dieing before he could make it out. The rest of the pioneers made it out one pioneer looked back at the valley and he said, 'Good-bye Death Valley.' "

"That's good." I nodded "I'm going to have a team come with me to meet the comrades. Ratche, Ironhide, Jazz and Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are coming." I felt Sunstreaker stiffen. "What about our charge." When he said that my vision popped back I looked at Sunstreaker he was glaring at them.

"She will be coming along to." I felt Sunstreakers grip tighten around me in a protective manner. "Isn't that dangerous." He finally gritted out through his teeth.

"No not really since they're from our fraction, but it's also a good time to start the experiments." He had a very valid point. Sunstreaker still narrowed his eyes. "When do we leave" I asked trying to change the subject.

"We leave in 2 and a half hours." I nodded. "Come on guys lets go." They both grumbled, and started walking away. We went straight to the training room. Something was telling me they weren't too happy.

"Guys you have nothing to worry about." Sunstreakers holoform popped up in front of me. "And why is that, and don't say cause they're Autobots because where there's an autobot, there's a deceptiscum."

I put my hand on his shoulder and nodded. "True, but I do believe I have the world's best guardians, and I'm sure my powers will kick in if I'm in trouble." He looked me with a frown that ended up turning into a smirk. "I do believe I'm more than just the best. I'm awesome, handsome-"

Sideswipe popped up beside him. "Vain. don't forget vain." Sideswipe budded in, I laughed at him. Then Sunstreaker turned around and slap Sideswipe. I know he was surprise because he reeled.

"Ow, why'd you slap me?" Sunstreaker just smirked. "I didn't slap you I high fived your face." I laughed at him, and shook my head. Something's telling me he's been waiting to do that.

Sideswipe only glared at him, then he smirked. I figured they were talking over their twin bond. "You wouldn't." Sunstreaker finally growled which had me turn my attention to them.

"Try me." Sideswipe said with a sly smile. I sighed another fight was about to break out. Sunstreaker lunged at Sideswipe, but he easily dodged it. I went over to the shooting range. I picked up an Akdal MKA 1919, and loaded it up.

"Hey be careful powerful gun you got there." I looked up to see a middle age man with short hair he was extremely buff, and had scars litter over his body. He was wearing a military uniform. "Well Ironhide I had really long time to practice using this gun."

I aimed for the target I made sure my goggles were in check. I took the safety off the gun and I fired 9 rounds. All hitting the bullseye, I smiled at my perfect score. "Wow femme got aim."

I smiled at him. "Wer ya learn ta shoot lik' that." I smiled at Jazz then hugged him. "Me and my best friend went out and learned how to fire guns with ease."

He smirked at me then ruffled my hair. "Where are your guardians?" I rubbed the back off my neck sheepishly, "Well they kind of got in to another fight so I decided to let them fight it out."

Ironhide and Jazz shook their heads. I just went over, and grabbed a different gun. "Wow a Saiga-12 I don't know if you can handle that kid." Ironhide said. I turned and shoot him a smirk, then put my glasses back down took the safety off, and….FIRED. "Electric you're a good shot."

I turned to see the twins watching me I took off the glasses, and put the gun back. "Thanks." Sunstreaker just grumbled, "Come on we got to get ready and go it's a 2 hour drive to the valley." He growled then stormed off.

"What crawled up his tailpipe and died?" I asked I had heard other autobots say it so this seemed like the right time to say it. They all ended up laughing at me. "He's.. just made that he has to do a bet."

I cocked my head at him, "What's the bet?" Sideswipe abruptly stopped laughing. "I'll give you a hint he has to tell you something." I looked at him even more confused. "Ok." I piped up in a strangely good mood. Well that was until Sunstreaker came back not looking any happier when he left, and his eyes land on me.

He stormed over to me, but I knew he would never hurt me so I kept my smile on my face. "Hi Sunny feeling better." He growled at me, it actually scared me the glare mixed with the growl.

"Don't call me. That! understood. Now I said let's go it's almost time to leave!" He yelled at me, I shrank back trying to get away, but he was pulling me.

He was really starting to hurt my wrist, I whimpered. "Sunny-" He growled and tighten his grip on my wrist painfully. "I said Do. Not. Call. Me. THAT!" I nodded in fear, a tear rolled down my face as he tighten his grip, until a pop was heard through the whole training room. "Sunstreaker! Stop you're hurting me!"

I cried out trying to pull away, he just pulled back. I screamed in fear, I felt the electricity run through me until it shocked Sunstreaker. It was getting rid of the threat which was him at the moment.

"What the frag?!" He sneered at me. He let go of me, and I fell. He examine the nasty shock I gave him as he did that I scooted away trying to stand. I couldn't see straight tears blocking my vision.

I had finally gotten up, and I ran to the far corner, and wiped at my eyes trying to get the the tears to leave. When I was able to see again I saw all the Autobots were there now. They probably heard me all were looking dumbfounded even Sunstreaker. I watched him to if he was coming for my. "Kat I'm so sorry."

He took a step closer his words didn't register in my brain I was in fight or flight mode right now. He keep getting closer. Flight.

"No! Stay away from me!" I shouted at him, and I ran as fast as I could to get out of there. Then strong arms wrapped around me I looked up to see Ironhide.

I let him hold me as Optimus, Prowl, and Ratchet walked over to me. "Calm down youngling, tell us what happened." I was in complete terror if I told Sunstreaker might hurt me again.

So I cried and cried, until someone grabbed my wrist which had me cry out in pain. Ratchet took it gently and scanned it, "Broken." He clarified. "Well I would think so, how hard he was holding her."

"Ironhide do you know what happened?" Ironhide nodded. "Yeah me, Jazz, and Sideswipe." So the three of them started explaining what happened"

When they were done I had finally got a hold of myself. "Optimus I don't want the twins as my guardians anymore...I..i...I don't feel safe with them." I finally said as quietly as possible I saw both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe cringe.

"Very well youngling I was going to relieve them of their duties of guarding you any way they clearly don't know how too. Sunstreaker will be dealt with, and kept away from you."

I nodded my understanding. "Can I still go with the group to meet the newcomers." Optimus nodded then looked to Jazz. "Jazz would you mind being Catherine's newly assigned guardian?" Jazz looked at me then smiled I couldn't find it in me to smile back.

"Of cours Big bot." Optimus then turned to Sideswipe and Sunstreaker his eyes narrowed dangerously, "Sideswipe, Sunstreaker you both are relieved of your duty, Sunstreaker I want you in my office now." He growled. Sunstreaker gulped, but nodded he gave me one last glance then deactivated his holoform.

"So as ya ne' guar'ian hows 'bout we mak' ya faget taday." I looked at my new guardian then nodded.

Oh Sunny screwed everything up again, but this time will she forgive him.

Who thinks they know who the newcomers are?

And what's going to happen in Primes' office?
