"Sometimes you just have to just have to smile, pretend everything is okay, hold back the tears and just walk away."

In this world you are taught not to trust anyone from the day you are born till the day you die, and in if I was honest not trusting anyone is the rule I live by. So, with this rule I built my walls day by day, never letting anyone close because I didn't want to get hurt. Listening to orders and not getting killed in the process was always my main objective and I always believed that was how it would be until the day I died.
However, that all changed when that one person broke my walls down, the same walls that I spent 10 years trying to build. Karma, you see that's what happens when you build walls so high, blocking the world out thinking you can get away without a scratch, when the truth is it just makes it hurt more when they're broken down.
"Hey, my name is Tony Stark. What's yours?" A boy around 15, my age, spoke holding out his hand expecting me to shake it. His brown hair and hazel eyes glowing with happiness and 'innocence.'
Looking at him I hid my feelings of loneliness and said, "Go away," my voice, as always, holding the usual coldness. I expected him to run for the hills like everyone else did, however he just stood there eyes still glowing with happiness and hand still raised for me to shake.
"Did you not here me?" I snapped, wanting to be alone once again.
He scoffed, "Of course I did," he said as if I should've already known, "I'm not deaf or stupid."
"Really? Because you don't seem to get the fact that I want to be left alone."
"Well, I don't believe you." He smirked, as if he caught the lie of the century. "Now, why don't you tell me your name?"
Sighing, I looked around the library. Please somebody save me! I mentally scream. If I was left alone with this kid one more second I was going to snap his neck. He gave me a look that I assumed worked with all the other girls. I mentally groan.
"Isabel." I state simply, hoping he would go away and at the same time wishing he would stay.
"What?" he asks as if he hadn't been expecting an answer.
"My name is Isabel, Isabel Blood."
After that day, he seemed to show up in the same spot every day as if waiting for someone. That someone, unfortunately, was me. Though, as the days went by the past irritation with him slowly became a weird longing. The longing was something I didn't understand it was something I never felt before… and that for some reason it made me become frustrated because I had no idea what this feeling was.
Then it hit me, and I was not happy about it!
After his dad died I started to see less and less of him… Till one day I stopped seeing him altogether left only with a note. The note had my name written across it in his mangled scrawl.
Dear Isabel,
~0~
12 hours! 12 damn hours trapped in that small plane having to listen to the constant sound of Tori and Luke sucking each other's faces off, Mike's loud snoring, and having to feel 'Monkey Ears' kick the back of my chair mumbling something. Though I pulled through and took it, however this is something that I will NOT endure.
"What in God's name do you want Phil?" I 'asked' him.
He was wearing his trademark suit and tie with a smile that just screamed 'I know something you don't.' I hate that smile.
"I have a new assignment for you." He states simply.
"Would you like to elaborate or are you sending me in blind?" I snap.
He turned and headed down the long corridor, as if expecting me to follow. Of course, I did. With my team just a few steps behind me, Phil stopped at a door. As we reached him he opened the door. There was a young man in the room looking out the window. I felt as if I should know him but didn't know from where.
"Isabel Blood," Phil started, "meet Tony Stark." As he turned to look at me, his cocky grin dropped and I knew it was true.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me!" I scream staring at the boy I used to know, now a man that looked as if he were about to run for his life. And believe me, if Tori hadn't held me back he would have.
Phil stood there for a second with a confused look on his face, well that's a first. "I take it you two know each other?"
"Oh, they know each other." Tori says from behind me.
"Anthony Gabriella Stark!" I scream. He groaned and buried his head in his hands as I yelled his middle name. "I'm going to slowly kill you, you bastard!"
"Hey! That's sexy bastard!" he yelled back at me, pointing his finger.
"Tori, I swear to the Lord God of whatever you believe in, if you don't let me go so I can chop off that finger of his and make it more useful-"
"You'll what? Kill me? Like I haven't heard that threat before." She said in a bored tone.
I kept struggling trying to get out of her grasp. "Isabel, we should talk." Phil said, grabbing me away from Tori's iron like grip and into the hallway and away from the man I wanted to kill.
"Phil-"
"Don't you 'Phil' me, Isabel. Now look, I don't care what it is that you two have going on between you guys, but knock it off."
"I can't work with him. I will not work him, and I will not be going back inside that room no matter what!" I turned to walk away, but before I could even take a step away he pulled me back.
"You are on this mission." Ugh! Not that voice! I groaned. "And whether you like it or not you will be going back in there and getting this mission done with him!" Now he knows I can't run away! Damn it, Tori, I blame you! If only you hadn't held me back he would've been dead!
Speak of the devil and he, or she, shall appear. I thought as I saw Tori exit the room.
"You know for secret spies and all, you suck at keeping your cool. We can hear this whole conversation from inside." I glared at her, but not for saying that.
Returning my glare she spoke, "Pl-uh-ease, because killing him would've totally solved all of our, well your, problems Izzy."
"Yes, actually it would have." I nodded my head with a smile thinking what could have been.
"Ladies, I know I'm gorgeous but it's time to move on," Lord pain-in-my-ass said, coming out of the already opened door.
"Thank you, Stark. Now, Isabel if you would?" Phil said, motioning me to go back inside and take a seat.
Mumbling something under my breath, I moved back into the room to see Luke and Mike both with identical shit eating grins on their faces. "Say one word and I break your necks."
Luke opened his mouth to speak but, in the corner of my eye, I saw Tori give him a sharp glare, causing his mouth to quickly shut. Mike however didn't have anyone that cared enough to save him.
"So, Izzy, I hear you have a boyfriend? What did he do to make you want to kill him? I mean it's not like anyone else would want to date you."
"That's it!" I went to jump across the table to kill him, only to have Tony to hold me back this time. "You are not in the position to be holding me back right now."
"Oh come on, Isabel, you know you like it." He whispers, breathe brushing my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.
"Alright children, settle down." Phil speaks from his position at the front of the room. What the hell? When did he get there? Ninja much… "Now take your seats so I can brief you on your mission."
Heading for my seat I see Tony start to sit down at seat, my seat, only for him to quickly move from it and head to the opposite side of the room when I gave him the look. That's right you better move pretty boy.
Taking my seat the lights dim and an image pops up out of nowhere on the wall. "As you all know we are not alone," Phil starts off.
"Yes, we know that. What does this have to do with any of us?" Luke asked.
"If you shut up and listen you'll find out," Tori hissed, smacking the back of his head.
"Thank you Tori," Wow he sure is saying thank you a lot today. "Now, these guys are called the Autobots," new photos popped up on the wall, each different than the last. "These, obliviously, are the good guys. They at this point in time are the only things keeping us humans safe from the Decepticons. Unfortunately, not everyone cares to see it this way. They rather blame the Autobots for bringing the Deceptions here in the first place-such as Mr. Galloway."
As Phil continued to talk I read the names under the photo trying the sound on my tongue. "Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Prowl, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Skids, Mudflap, Arcee, Chromia, and Elita One," I read off each of the names under my breath.
"And these are the Decepticons," once again the images changed and more names popped up on the screen. "It has been told that Megatron, or N.B.E-01, crash-landed in the Arctic Circle and was frozen solid for thousands of years. He was then later discovered by an explorer named Archibald Amundsen Witwicky. Captain Witwicky accidentally activated Megatron's navigation system and caused the coordinates of the AllSpark to be etched onto the explorer's glasses."
Once again Phil just continued to talk and talk and somewhere along the way I realized that I probably should have been paying attention, but I decided against it. Oh well, I'll just have Tori brief me on what just happened. So, instead of paying attention I read through the names once again, "Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, Skywrap, Starscream," Ewe, "Thundercraker, Hook, Blitzwing, Triggerhappy, Reflector, Knockout, Bonecrusher, Thrust, Ramjet, and Dirge."
"I want you guys to infiltrate the base. Make friends," he said looking directly at me, "get them to trust you, find out every little detail you can. This is what you guys were trained to do, so do it, but have fun. And also, I need you guys to keep an eye out for anything suspicious-out of order. If you find something do not engaged, report it back and await further orders."
"So, once again what does this have to do with us? I mean why do we have to do it?"
"Everything, Luke, because you see it happens to be there are new openings on the team of army recruits, they need four, and you guys fit the description. Well, that and also I just love torturing you guys. " He ended in a devilish grin making me shudder.
"Wait four? There are five of us…" Luke trailed off, completely blocking out the part when he said that he loved torturing us. Good job Luke, good job.
"No, there are four, Tony isn't joining he is just making you guys weapons."
"Riiiiight… So- Ouch! Would you stop hitting me?!" Luke exclaimed when Tori's hand made contact with his head.
"Yeah, right after you stop asking stupid questions."
"That'll never happen," I mumble.
"Now, you will be leaving for your flight at 0600. I have left files on everyone important you will need to know in your rooms. I want you to know it cover to cover. Also, I gave you guys new identities so learn it and get used to it. You are dismissed." He said, starting to leave till he abruptly stops. "Oh, and by the way, make sure no one finds out the truth till I give the word to do so." He adds before leaving.
"Wait… they don't know about us?" When will he stop with the damn questions…? I give Tori a look saying to explain it to her dumb boyfriend.
"No, they don't. The transformers are only a level 3 classified, whereas we are level 6."
"If we are level 6 then what is Tony?"
"None. Since he decided to tell the whole world that he was Iron Man he dropped back to level 0," I responded to that question.
"Zero? Then how is it that he knows about us, or for that matter the Autobots?"
"Well, isn't it oblivious? It's because my sexiness is a crime so they just had to bump me up to a level 10!" Ah, there's the sarcastic remark I was not waiting for.
"No, that's not it. Tony here must've snuck into the data base to find out what S.H.I.E.L.D was hiding from him, and in the process, Phil must have had caught him doing it; resulting in him having to help us." I hear Mike finally speak up, and say something actually intelligent!
"That wouldn't surprise me. Tony always was one of those people who felt as if everyone's business was his and that he had the right to know every little detail," I gave a fake smile before standing.
"He what?" Luke asks.
"Tori? How do you date someone that stupid?" I ask her.
"I ask myself that same question every time he speaks." The brown headed girl nodded solemnly.
"Hey at least I'm not as bad as you when you're drunk!" He retorts.
"How did this go from having an amazing conversation about the handsome and talented me to her getting drunk?" Tony chimes in.
"Honestly I don't care about any of this. I'm just glad that my time with you," I point to Tony, "is almost done."
I turn and strut out of the room feeling a pair of familiar eyes burning a hole in my back.
"Oh and I do best with long range weapons. Just so you know." I smirk to myself the leave for my room.
