You guys make me wonder what you think about this fic. XD

The last thing she felt when Cade had restrained her was pain behind her neck before everything went black. The darkness had swallowed her like when she was little. She was blinded by that darkness as her little feet carried away, running from the screams her ears had picked up. Gunshots and creaking noises had faded as the memory left her mind.

The next thing she knew when she came to the conscious world was a great burning sensation from the rough surface she was laid on. The sun had did a great job in heating it up. It was scalding hot with its roughness... This makes her wonder whether she preferred being in the air, cool and calming or driving with the grounder mechs. After flying with Starscream and his trine to many times, maybe it being airborne grew on her.

She tried to open her eyes but they felt so heavy. Exhaustion has gripped her and the adrenaline was long gone in her systems. She couldn't help but sigh as thoughts keep nagging her, she really wanted to know what was currently happening. Sounds of metal on metal was filling the air and the ground was currently shaking out of the masses that it was enduring.

Oh how she prayed. She knew that Cade was in a fight right now... She prayed that the mech doesn't get even more hurt or get deactivated once everything around her calm down again. She also prayed that the other 'bot leave them alone... Cade wasn't doing anything bad. He was just taking her childish aft home earlier and her hard-headedness just have to kick in that time. Oh how she regret that... if it weren't for her, they wouldn't be in this situation, won't they?

She doesn't hate the black Mustang after what he did. After living with the Decepticons under his guardianship, she had adapted that they have a different way of showing their emotions and care for others. Some may say and show that they don't care... but truth to be told, they do. Holding her down earlier was one of those actions that he shows that he cared for her safety. She had sensed his stress and distress as she kept on ranting on and on at him making the situation worse.

She admitted that she was being overly hysterical. She loathed herself for being a pain in the aft at the time like that. He was over the edge that time and there she was, taunting him until he fell and exploded. She noted it to say 'sorry' and give the mech a relaxing wash and wax once they get back home but after patching up whatever slag he had accumulated from the fight. She hopes that it will end sooner. The sooner done, the less damage.

Not to long though, she suddenly want to scream as her brain registered physical pain that is of no comparison to what she had felt when she had gone through with her life living alone. Something exploded behind her and then something big had hit the shocked girl at the back of her head.

Pain once again soared to new heights as her body accumulated more injuries and cuts...

Dizziness raided her head like the time she was playing with the Constructicons...

Fear had blanked her mind at the thought of Cade, whether he was alright or if he was alive from that explosion...

Drowsiness caught up with her as the feeling of blood seep down her neck and along other parts of her body.

Worry added in to the mix for the Cons because she could feel her heart pump slow and her breathing got harder and harder to do.

She had realized that she was about to die. Die... Something that she had wanted for so long until she had met Cade and the Cons. It changed her perspective of life. That word was long gone after they have unknowingly given her something to live for... but now, it was coming back at her in full force.

She wanted to cry right there and then. She still hasn't thanked the faction for keeping her and making her life brighter. She wasn't even given the chance to do what she had silently promised to them, to Cade. She was leaving them, those who had taken to like her as a human when no other did.

Her heart wailed as grief and drowsiness took her to oblivion.

There was a beeping... Voices were flowing around her. She could feel something holding her. She was awake but her body wasn't. Her head was also pounding. It hurts to the pit but she kept on thinking 'What was happening? What is happening?'

Her thoughts faded though as she felt a needle had plunged itself on her wrist. The drug that was in it was cold and forceful as it enter her systems. Soon, she found herself no more in the world of the consciousness...

"The girl is waking up, Sir Rachet." After the stunt in Egypt, the human medics had come and held great respect for the metal medic. Saving someone also from a 99% chance of death added to that overflowing feeling. A human medic in the name of Thea had her eyes focus on the girl as she saw the body twitching and convulsing when she had came in to check upon their delicate patient that was still on intensive care.

It was 3 days now, if anyone wondered, since the incident with Barricade kidnapping the girl. The group of medics' hopes were dwindling as their patient stayed in her comatose state. That was then... but this was now! The girl's eyes flew open with an unfocused daze. She was just starring ahead of her but her hands were gripping the sheets. Soon, she was holding turning to her side and was making effort to get off the berth she was in. Thea had held her breath as she stared in horror when their patient's face didn't contort to a painful expression. With 3rd degree burns like that all over ones body, she would still be screaming in pain even if she had already been resting for 3 days nonstop.

When Rachet had arrive, Thea was cautiously helping the girl to sit up, avoiding touching the burns which was hard if you ask her. Their patient was covered with those form top to bottom, it was amazing that the face was still void of emotions. The human medic turned away and fetch some glass of water to quench the throat, she theorized that maybe that was why their patient was silent. She even had helped the girl drink it when the patient made no move.

Thea stepped away from the berth after instructing the girl to stay. Her hand brushed the other's head affectionately as she gave her a worried glance. Even if she had met the girl just about two days ago, she had come to love the girl. She had cursed the Con that had put their patient in this. (If they ever knew who the girl was... how wrong she was to think of that.) 'Let us hope that she still has the chance to make it through with this...' she thought.

After giving him the space, Rachet started to asked the girl what she was feeling or is there anything still hurting. The questions were asked because he had also seen that the girl was not responding to any pain or showing any sign of discomfort. With the string of questions, there was still no response even if Thea had aided him. This made him worry even more. 'Is there something over looked in the girl's operation?' the medic thought. He was sure that she would be fine once she had awaken.

A minute later when Rachet was still at loss or was checking something in his data, the girl's void expression turned to something that showed that she was really tired. Thea immediately ran to the girl's front and asked again what she was feeling.

"Who are you?" The girl asked in mono tone. Thea saw the frown on those bruised lip. The girl's phoenix eyes that held fire when she saw the vid from the other Yellow Autobot, was still in a daze but starring at her unfocused. The eyebrows were forming wrinkles on her face showing pain.

'Oh Primus... If I ever saw that Con, I'll really slag him.' Thea didn't really think of how... (she spends too much time with Rachet)

"I'm Thea Anderthal... Pleased see you awake now, little lady." She gave the girl a smile. Then, she saw the girl's eyes landed to Rachet which had come out of his stupor to observe.

"Who are you?" She asked again but it wasn't directed at her. Thea almost looked hurt when the girl's tone had change and her face seemed to brighten when she saw him.

"I'm Autobot's CMO, Rachet. Now, how are you feeling, youngling?" The chief made no dilly-dallying when it comes to his work.

Half an hour passed when Rachet had deemed the girl stable. As an hour flew by... the other Autobots and some soldiers came.

Then it had dawn on them... they had all been asking what she was feeling and all, but not what her name is...

"What's you're name again?" Epps was the one to ask. That question had just flown out of his mouth because he was bidding the other's farewell. Another Decepticon activity needed his team... He just there to ask the human medics to give him some pain killers, it was a bonus meeting the girl that went through shit she wasn't even suppose to go through.

Everyone turned to Rachet (Autobots) and Thea (humans) as they waited for the answer.

"Umm... that was overlooked." Thea nervously let out a weird laugh. She turned her head to the girl who was facing Epps and asked "What's you name, sweetie?"

The girl blinked and tilted her head. "Name?" She asked like it was something new to her.

"Yes... name...?" The medics faces began to show realization. Rachet was also there when he had heard what she had said.

"What is your name?" Rachet asked as she looked up at him.

"You know us by Rachet and Thea... how about you?" Thea added to give the girl an idea.

"Umm..." The girl had lost herself in thought for a minute when she shook her head.

"I don't know..." She said with an uncertain tone.

"How does she not know, Rachet?" Que asked. He was one of those new arrivals that was still not called out to the field. Rachet was an exception to stay on base and keep repairs on going and available to all 'bots.

Later, they found their selves delving into the world wide web or any network where they could get information about their patient.

It seems that the spike in activity of the Decepticons were taking a toll on them all... not only those on the field... to have left the information on the girl slip out of their minds and processors.

'My designation is... Oen?' that was what she said after she had woken up from sleep after that day. Rachet had noticed her use of 'designation' instead of name. She said that she can't remember all of her designation but Oen sounded somewhat right for her.

'Why use 'designation' instead of 'name'?' Thea had asked Rachet in confusion. The old bot didn't know either but told her that the term that the girl used was like theirs, Cybertronians. They stared at the girl for a minute who was slowly creeping away from medics sigh and just decided to monitor her. They couldn't ask her because she has lost her memory but Rachet feared that maybe she had already been captured by the Cons before they had found them. It was still a theory but it was a start.

Indulging again with finding her identity, they spent the day searching. The girl who was now known as 'Oen' was around the base somewhere, helping in every way she could after asking where was their storage closet with cleaning materials.

Rachet who had found out had immediately lashed at the unknowing soldier who had told her of the location. He cursed as she hid from his sight. She was ungodly good for even others who helped couldn't find her. They had found out later that the soldier that Rachet scolded had talked with her. The soldier was scarred for life after another lashing (from all of them)...

When lunch soon came, they were greeted by the girl wearing an apron and holding a scoop behind the counter. They couldn't help be amuse or irritated that time but with the girl smiling and greeting them like it was like any other day, they had let it go. They didn't even care to inform a still looking Autobot medic.

The NEST soldiers would smile at her and greet her but questions still nagged their minds as they look at the girl. Some patches were still on her body and bruises were still angry purple. They also saw that her hair was imbalancedly cut off (The left side was settling just besides the jaw line as the right was long as, ending at her waist) On her face, one of those patches was at her left cheek, a bruise on the corner of her smiling lips and a healing cut from the right of the forehead going down beside the eye. She was wearing a neck brace, limiting her movements but it didn't hinder her actions. Her left arm was wrapped around by a bandage as the other had a massive bruise.

They had silently promised to slag a Decepticon good if they are to face one. The unknowing girl just had filled them with vigor and strength to do their job even better. For the lives of those who are innocent! Boo-ya!

After being found by Rachet sneaking out, she was confined in the Med Bay and was locked in there for the rest of the day. As always, soldiers would appear to greet her on the way as Autobots had their repairs. Rachet couldn't help notice how his faction members look for him instead of Jolt who could also fix them.

The next time he had a patient that day for just minor injuries, he had thrown a wrench as the mech duck and escape the rampaging medic.

Thea who was now officially Oen's nurse, had monitored and followed the girl closely. She had noted that the girl was really kind and caring. Also, looking after feels not like a job but like as a bigger sister. She really felt more like at home with her, something that doesn't feel since the time she had left her house to work full time here.

2 days had passed while observing the girl, the nurse had noted that her charge wasn't afraid of any of the Autobots. Even at the first day seeing Rachet...

Oen's reactions were too bizarre... She would politely address or formally talk with others but with the Autobots, her expression brightens and her speech changes.

"Hey, Oen... Why do you keep doing that?" Thea asked that night when they were about to retire.

"Doing what, ms. Thea?" The girl was looking at her from her bed in the Med Bay.

"Why do you talk so formally towards us but when the Autobots do, you throw formalities away... Aren't you comfortable with us?" Thea had thought about reasons but it seems that everything leads to illogical ones.

When Thea had seen the look on the girl's face, she had regretted asking. The girl was now at another of her times being at a daze but not a minute later she got a response. "There is something in the back of my head, ms. Thea, that says that it is the only way I should address you guys... I don't mean to be rude but I just feel that what I am doing is right. It was telling me that it was right."

With that response, the girl said no more and when Thea was about to ask again, she relented and just left it for tomorrow. It was her charges 3rd day... the girl wasn't going anywhere without Rachet's consent...

Tomorrow... the world's savior and his guardian would be here for a medical check up. She would miss this event because she was to join the NEST team on their nth assignment.

The nurse left the Med Bay after looking warily at a slump Rachet.

Decepticons... darn it.
