Chapter: 2

I was awoken by someone knocking at the door at 9AM "what!" I called sleepily

"We're going out to try and sell one of our designs to a major video game company; we'll probably be out all day." one of my brothers yelled through the door.
I faked a sleepy grumble "ok fine just leave me alone" I heard him walk away, down the stairs, and out the door. I reached over the edge of the bed, touched the floor and sent out a volt of investigative electricity. The electricity went through the whole house and returned letting me know that everything with-in the house was as it should be. I got out of the bed, made it up, then warped to base.

I transformed and walked into the medbay so I could check on Sideswipe. When I walked in Ratchet was asleep and Sunstreaker was trying not to nod off. I stepped over the mess that was still on the floor and approached the table. By this time Sunstreaker had stood up and walked closer to the edge so he wouldn't wake Ratchet by talking. I examined Sideswipe's vitals before quietly speaking to Sunstreaker "Has there been any change in Sideswipe's condition?"

He shook his head and sadly looked to were his sibling was lying then turned back to me "no nothing…"

"Ok, tell Ratchet I was here when he wakes up" I then warped into the room with the rest of the former mechs.
I warped into a room of chaos; all the men were yelling at each other, some trying to fight and others holding back the ones that wanted to fight. "What's going on here?!" They all froze for a couple seconds then started trying to talk over each other. I brought my wings forward and glared at the group until they became quiet.

The only one still yelling was Redalert. He pointed at me and yelled "I keep trying to tell all of you, she is not on our side, she is a Decepticon and all she is waiting for is for her master to come!" he stopped and stared at me as if waiting for me to deny everything.

I sighed then said in an un-amused tone "Yes I am a Decepticon and yes I am waiting for Megatron to get here. I also killed my brothers and plan on painting myself pink and purple."

Redalert was quiet for a couple seconds then yelled triumphantly "I knew it see" he turned to his comrades "she admits it! I knew that she was just trying to trick us into a false sense of security while she plotted with the Decepticons. Now she has killed humans and told the Decepticons where we are! We should have left her for dead when we had the chance! Now she will have us all killed and the Decepticons will take over the earth and we will not be able to stop Megatron when he destroys this planet like he did Cybertron!" He was once again quiet waiting for everyone to agree with him.

Jazz then said "Red' she just said she killed her brothers and was planning on painting herself pink and purple"

"Yes and she also admitted to being a Decepticon"

"She could never kill her brothers and she would never touch pink as a permanent color. Remember when the twins got her that one time and she nearly took their heads off?"

"She was only covering the fact that she loved it so we wouldn't suspect she was actually a Decepticon"

"That doesn't even make sense!" Just as Jazz was about to say something else I told him

"Just give up he has an answer for everything you could ever throw out." All of them nodded their heads in agreement and Redalert started trying to convince them that I was the enemy and that they should be trying to take me down. I transformed into my human pretender mode and pulled out a syringe I had prepared for myself before leaving base last night. Redalert was so deep in the 'panic zone' he didn't even notice that I was approaching him. The others had figured out that I was going to try and give him a sedative. They started inching closer in order to help secure the jumpy security director. We were almost within arms-length when he noticed us

"I knew it you are all Decepticons!" he took one of the nearby sharp can lids and started trying to use it on the others.

"Redalert we are not Decepticons now put that down!" Bluestreak yelled as he dodged Redalert's attacks.

"No!" At that point he finally got close enough to Bluestreak to slice his arm. Everyone froze in disbelief as Bluestreak cried out and crumpled to his knees holding his now bleeding arm. By now Redalert was running for the door. I warped in his way only, to my extreme surprise, to be flipped out-of his way. I saw the door opened and close.

Jazz then appeared above me, offered his hand and said "By the way, if he wasn't so paranoid, with his hand-to-hand combat skills, he could have won the war all by himself a long time ago"

I grabbed his hand and he pulled me to my feet, I brushed myself off then said "Well then I guess I will just have to use my current size advantage… that or go get Ratchet" I then handed Jazz the syringe and transformed. Jazz looked up at me then the needle in his hand then point to himself with his empty hand I nodded. He looked back at Bluestreak who was now getting help from the others for his arm.

Jazz looked back up at me and asked "Why me?"

"Because you have charm, talent, and you volunteered yourself by helping me up and accepting the syringe" Before he could say anything else I grabbed him and walked out of the room in search of Redalert. Down the hall a bit I placed Jazz on my shoulder then asked "How are you all holding up?"

He shifted a little in order to gain a better balance then said "Tensions are a little high but otherwise we're cool. Why did you come back? I thought your brothers were home at this time of the day?"

"I got lucky; they had to go pitch their next big game idea to a big time company." Just then Ethan came around the corner; he looked extremely confused

"OK… Three questions… Why did that guy's voice sound familiar?" he pointed back the direction he came "Where did the Autobots go? Who is that? And why is he on your shoulder?" I crouched down, removed Jazz from my shoulder and placed him on the floor next to Ethan. They looked each other up and down then Jazz said pointedly

"That was four questions not three."

Ethen's jaw dropped "J… Jazz!"

Jazz nodded his head, Gave a sideways smile then said "In the flesh… literally."

I interrupted whatever Ethan was going to say next "If you go to the rec. room all will be explained but right we" I pointed at Jazz then back at myself "have to catch Red' and give him a sedative because the situation is stressing him out too much and he is now convinced that we are all Decepticons." I picked Jazz back up and placed him on my shoulder "Hopefully he doesn't figure a way back up to his control panel. If he does then I will be dodging bullets." I then stood up and stepped over Ethan.

Before I went around the corner Ethan yelled after me "Wait, how did it happen?!"

I paused turned back to him and simply said "How else, Wheeljack." It was obvious that he had a moment of revelation when an 'Oh' appeared on his face; I then started down the hall.
