When the next morning came, Saphira checked to see if there was any further information regarding the Qatar attack. She didn't see any updates made, and there was no message for Fury or Natasha regarding the attack at this time, so Saphira assumed there was no progress made. And as Saphira was still struggling to decipher the virus that was involved in the Qatar attack, since she was no closer to deciphering the language that was held within this virus and it was bothering her quite a bit. But she could only keep trying to translate it, despite not having any closer answers.

On top of that, she was still thinking about what had happened the previous night. Especially as the camaro had not returned to the house, and Saphira had no idea where it was right now. She wasn't sure if she should be worried about it doing something or not, but she was on edge ever since she returned home. She thought about calling Natasha to tell her what had happened, but she knew that Nat was helping with the Qatar issue.

Saphira wished she wasn't here in L.A making a blog site to try and get outside help, which she doubted she would get. She did write a blog post with vague mentions of the giant iceman Archibald has claimed to have seen in the Arctic. Saphira at least now knew that he might not have been lying due to what she had seen the previous night. And if Archibald did see one of these bots, it meant they were alien.

It is actually nice to find something that is strange. Being mutated like me, it actually makes me feel like I'm not the only strange thing in this world, and it's a good feeling. But I do not know the intentions of this thing, because it clearly wanted me to buy the camaro.

And that certainly made Saphira think that it was not a coincidence. She posted up the blog the night before she got the car, and it was definitely creepy. And it also meant that the bot had direct access to the internet, and it must have been pinged after she made the post. Regarding, Saphira did hope to find some answers as it was very important that she would do that. If this bot had something to do with the Qatar attack, she needed to find the answers.

So Saphira spent the morning looking at each symbol of the language and looked at the English alphabet to try and put letters together. But if one symbol was a word, that would be more difficult. So Saphira did consider translating into older languages first before translating to English to try and make it easier, but she felt it would only make things more difficult. And she didn't want to drive herself up the way.

Though as she was sitting at her desk taking her time going through the symbols, she heard an alert from her computer. She looked up and checked to see that there was a security breach alert. She was surprised, as Saphira had not been looking for any security breaches, but she did have access to the classified mainframe with one computer, and she had a program running in the background constantly for security breaches.

She checked to see what the alert was, and she was surprised to see the exact same virus, and saw that the alert was coming from Air Force One. She grabbed her phone to call Fury and waited as the phone rang until Fury picked up. "Saphira, I hope that you got…"

"Sorry to interrupt, but whoever created the virus during the Qatar attack a couple days ago, is now hacking into Air Force One. You need to shut down the server or alert the security on board now!" Saphira felt bad for interrupting Fury, but she had to tell him.

"Shit…" Fury seemed surprised and began to shout. "Contact Air Force One! They got a bug on board hacking the system! And contact John Keller to inform him of the hack, and make sure that they can land that plane to get the president to safety!" Saphira smiled, glad that she was able to inform them of the hack. "Seems like you still got the programs on, Saphira. I thought you were calling to tell me some news about them symbols you are still working on. But it seems we got multiple issues."

"Yeah. But this virus and these symbols are the same, so they are connected. I am trying a different approach today, but it is not going well. Just make sure that they don't get any data from the mainframe, because I don't think we need a pile of problems right now." Saphira glanced at the window, knowing she had her own problem to deal with. "Have you heard more about the Qatar attack?"

"No, there is no other information yet. But we are investigating, and we have other people taking a closer look at that virus." Saphira was unsurprised, as this was serious. "And with this latest attack, things are definitely heating up. The military is heating up, and preparing for an attack, once we determine which government is responsible."

"But I don't think these symbols are Earth symbols, Fury. These are alien."

"I know, but try telling my superiors that. I have been trying to stop a war from happening on my end, believe me." Saphira did believe Fury, but she hoped it wouldn't come a war between countries over this. "Just do what you need to do, Saphira. I bet that car we bought the other day has something to do with it."

"Yeah…I think so too."

"That almost sounds like you know something." Saphira smiled and chuckled a little. "Hey, I am not Black Widow, but I have known you a long time, Saphira. If you know something, you should probably tell me now."

Saphira grimaced and she was not sure how to respond to him. "Uh, well…I am not sure yet. All I can tell you is that the car is not an ordinary car. But I need more time, Fury. It seems like we don't have a lot of it right now. But I will do my best. I am hopeful I will have an answer before the end of the week."

"You'd better. The council is on my ass about this, and I need something to ease my headache. No amount of Advil is going to solve that right now." She chuckled lightly in amusement and Fury chuckled back at her. "Yeah, it's funny for you, since you don't have to deal with it. But I have to go, as the hack has been cut off, but now I need to deal with ensuring the plane lands and so on."

"Hopefully you can find what was on the plane, but I get the feeling it won't happen. Try and have a good day, Nick."

The man let out a deep sigh with a slight groan. "Try is the important part. You do what you can to help figure this out, Saphira. This is now part of your assignment. Good luck."

With that, Fury hangs up and Saphira looked at her computer to see that the alert was gone. She was glad, but also knew that this was a lot more serious. She did not know if any data had been stolen, and what information could have been stolen. Regardless, if it was in regard to her post, it could be information regarding Archibald Witwicky. That would be the only thing she could think of that would make sense.

So for the next two days, Saphira spent a lot of hours trying to decipher the symbols. She tried several methods to try and translate the symbols, but nothing seemed to work, and she grew more frustrated each day. And she was also paranoid about the camaro, and it did not come back over the couple days she had been doing her work. She still did not know if she should trust it or not, but she would find out if it did come back.

But without having a car, and Saphira checked to see she was needing some milk, bread and eggs, as she had been having eggs and toast for breakfast each morning, and made herself either coffee or hot chocolate, so she needed to go to the store. Saphira had not even had time to check other car dealers for a new car right now, but she was not entirely bothered, as the shop was in walking distance and she didn't want to waste money on a taxi.

And she also really needed to get out of the house and give her mind a bit of a break, so walking to the store was beneficial, and she was going to enjoy it. She put on a pair of denim shorts and a navy, long sleeve, shirt, as she had been wearing her pyjamas for the past couple days, and made sure she looked decent before grabbing her bag to make her way to the store. It was a nice afternoon, and she smiled as soon as she stepped out of the house.

But as she walked to the path, she spotted the camaro driving towards her along the street. She was shocked to see it again, and she was immediately on guard, and she backed away and turned away, hoping it might just park in the driveway and she could go to the store without worry. But as she walked the opposite direction, she did not hear the car turn, and she glanced back and she was shocked as the car was driving close to the side of the road and it was definitely following her.

Realizing that it was, Saphira began to run along the path. She knew she was using some her additional strength to run faster than an average human, but she needed to try and shake the camaro. And it was still following her. It wasn't speeding, but it was driving fast enough to keep up with her. And it likely knew about the road rules to a point, as Saphira did not know how long it has been on Earth for.

But as she ran along through the neighbourhood, Saphira knew she had to go somewhere that did not have civilians around. She didn't need anyone hurt or killed while she was here in L.A. Fury would have her neck if that were to happen, even if it meant that she had something to tell him before the end of the week. Saphira had to think of somewhere, and as she continued to run, she soon spotted it.

It appeared to be a construction site, or a dumping ground for unwanted things, like cars, tools, jerry cans and so on. It became more obvious it was more of a dumping ground as she got closer and ran through an open gate. She glanced back to see the camaro following her, and she looked around to see what she could do before running towards a large, cement, cylinder to run through, knowing the car was too small to fit, but she didn't stop as the car would get around.

So she ran to the left and skidded behind a rusted van as the camaro drove by, and she hoped that it didn't notice she was there. She listened and waited as the car drove by, and it seemed that it didn't notice her as it drove away. Saphira was relieved, but as she thought about running back the way she came from, she knew that the camaro knew where she lived. So running home would make no difference, as it would find her anyway.

Saphira at least had a moment to gather her thoughts and think of a way to at least stop the car, though she wasn't sure how. She was stronger than humans, that was true, but she doubted she was strong enough to even hurt this bot. Maybe a dent, but that is it. Saphira thought about her fire breath though. It might do something. She moved out from behind the van, looking around for a moment before she looked at the rusted van, wondering if any of the abandoned cars around here still had fuel in them.

If I can spill enough fuel around, maybe I can lure the car into the puddle and burn it…

Saphira checked the tank of the van, and it was empty, which she somewhat expecting. Abandoned cars tended to be targeted, and get their tanks emptied, so she wasn't sure how many would still have fuel left. So she began to look around the area carefully, while making sure to stay fully alert, as she could still hear the engine of the camaro as it drove around looking for her. She was surprised it had not transformed yet.

Saphira couldn't find any car with fuel even after ten minutes of looking. As she reached an old Cadillac and was about to check the tank, she jumped and looked up when she heard a police siren going off for a moment. She widened her eyes as she saw a mustang, cop car rolling towards her slowly. She realized how this must look, and she didn't want to be in trouble, so she knew she should cooperate with him.

She brushed the dust from her shirt and made sure her bag was secure before approaching the car. "Sorry, officer. I-I know how this looks, but I am not trying to steal any fuel from these cars. Uh…" She glanced around to see where the camaro might be. "I was followed by someone, and he's still driving around. It is a yellow camaro…" Saphira screamed as the cop car revved and drove forward slightly, making her step backwards in shock before falling as the car got too close for comfort. She scrambled backwards as the cop revved and jolted forward several times. "What the hell?! This isn't necessary!"

She gasped as she scrambled back into a large, heavy, wooden box and looked back to see that the cop had stopped moving forward. But as she was about to speak again, she gasped as the headlights began to extend out suddenly with sharp, pointed tips aimed at her and the lights move towards her slowly. Saphira grimaced as flashes from her past filled her vision for a moment, but only briefly, as she realized this was not a cop. This was likely the same thing as the camaro, and now there were two of them.

"Alright, alright! What do you want from me?!" Saphira shouted at the car desperately, which made it stop for a moment, and she watched the headlights retract back to the car. She was relieved, but only briefly as the cop began to transform right in front of her. She stared in shock, watching how the bot transformed and how each piece moved quickly without hinderance. And when the bot finally looked at her, he had red optics, and he was growling at her. "Shit!" She scrambled to her feet and ducked as the bot tried to grab her. "I need to call Fury!"

Though as Saphira ran from the bot, he chased her, and while Saphira was running a lot faster, the strides of the bot was far more than hers. The bot seemed surprised she could run faster than a normal human, but he caught up to her, as Saphira tried to grab her phone from her bag, and he backhands her in the back. She screamed as the hit stung and she was thrown into the windscreen of a nearby car. She landed on it hard, hearing the glass shattering behind her, and she stared at the bot as he ran over to her.

He stopped in front of her and punched the ground beside the car, making her flinch and stare at him in shock. "Are you MystiqueLife120?!"

She was confused for a moment, as the bot raised his fist at her. She had not expected him to talk. "Huh? W-What are you t-t-talking about?"

He narrowed his optics with a sharp growl. "Are you MystiqueLife120?! I will not ask again!"

She realized he was talking about her blog. "Um…y-y-yes…what about it? It's just a blog."

The bot huffed loudly, and she grimaced as he leaned a little closer to continue speaking sharply to her. "The glasses!" She widened her eyes in surprise when the spoke of the glasses. "Where are they?!" Saphira shook her head, knowing she didn't have it with her. He growled and she saw him raising his fist higher, and she quickly rolled backwards over the roof of the car as he punched the windscreen. "Get back here!"

Saphira scrambled to her feet and jumped off the car just as the bot flipped the car behind her. She was going to try and get her phone out from the bag again, but she wasn't faster than the bot following her, and she knew he would catch up to her. And he knew of the glasses, and she didn't want to lead him home. But that meant he didn't know where her house was, and the camaro might actually be friendly.

But while she wasn't sure if that was the case, she continued to run and jumped over a few cars to try and slow the bot down. She jumped and skidded to a stop, just as she saw the camaro speeding around a corner, and she yelped as the back of the car nearly swung into her side, and she watched as the camaro spun around sharply and tripped the bot. She was relieved, though watched as the camaro stopped next to her and opened the door.

She was hesitant, but only briefly, as the other bot roared and stood back up and she scrambled to her feet and jumped into the passenger seat. The door closed and she gripped the seat as the camaro sped forward, making her feel the lurch as it sped forward, and she had no idea if this was a good idea to trust this bot or not. But as the camaro sped forward, Saphira looked over her shoulder to see the other had transformed back into the cop car form and was following them. He had the lights on, though she could not hear over the engine if the siren was going on.

I certainly don't want any cops involved, because they would probably become pancakes if they do.

Saphira looked at the dash as the car continued to drive along the road, and she noticed that the car was not driving onto the main road. This dirt road was leading towards an industrial area and a nearby wharf, and there appeared to be construction or renovations going on in the area. Saphira hoped that the car could lose the cop, because she had so many questions for it right now, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to give the glasses to any of them.

Saphira though didn't want to be rude to the bot who saved her, so she looked at the dash to speak. "Uh…thanks…not sure whose side you are on yet, but I think that friend of yours has anger management issues." There was no response, and she yelped as the camaro swerved suddenly, and she glanced back to see that the cop had tried to swerve into the camaro. "Ugh…and I only wanted to get some milk and eggs…"

She glanced back at the following mustang, not knowing if either bot has names, and it felt a little awkward. But she didn't particularly care about knowing the pursuing bot as much. She did not know how the camaro was going to outrun him, as so far, they both were only speeding along the dirt, gravel road and kicking up a whole heap of dust. She glanced at her bag, wondering if she should call Nick, but it might be a bad idea now she was now inside one of the bots.

I hope this yellow camaro is friendly…he probably is. He could have hurt me the other night…and he certainly would have seen my scaly face.

She shrieked as the camaro swerved again, and she gasped as she saw the camaro was speeding towards a warehouse with stained windows, and she tensed with a grimace as he drove straight through the window and shattered it. She saw that this building looked like it was being renovated, based on all the tools and painted stands on the inside of the building. But as it was late afternoon, no one was here. They had all gone home for the day, and Saphira was glad, but now there was evidence of someone being here.

Saphira knew that driving into this building would not stop the other bot, so she wasn't sure what the plan was. She said nothing, as she didn't want to be a backseat driver and annoy the bot. She just gripped the seat tightly and she didn't even put a seatbelt on, as she worried that would not be a good idea at the moment. Saphira was at least able to keep herself steady in the seat, even though she was not used to this kind of driving.

She looked over her shoulder briefly again before looking ahead and yelped as the car drove through a shelf full of cinderblocks, and she heard the blocks braking and hitting the roof of the car. She groaned loudly, knowing there was going to be a mess. And she still did not know what the plan was, and she tensed as the car spun around suddenly, just as the cop was about to hit them. She smiled a little as the camaro sped away, since the mustang had to spin around to catch up to them, and the camaro was able to drive through the door before the other bot did.

"I hope you can lose him now." Saphira looked ahead as the car was approaching a wharf and turned right to drive up a ramp.

She looked behind and she could not see the cop yet, but she knew he would be following them. She figured that the car would hide in the warehouse ahead, but as the camaro drove between large pipelines and barriers, it seemed that it would not be the case. It did seem the camaro was going to try and hide from the other bot, and that was good, but Saphira was still unsure how things would go. And she was prepared to defend herself as best as she could if she had to.

The camaro soon came to a halt and back up in front of a warehouse, shutting off the headlights. When that happened, Saphira jumped as she heard the doors locking. She tried to unlock the door and frowned when they would not budge. "Really?" Saphira lowered her arms and shook her head in disbelief. "Okay…just so you know, I don't like confined spaces, and I would appreciate not being locked in for too long. If it's for my safety, just tell me." There was silence and she groaned. "Ugh…great…"

She rubbed her forehead in frustration, and she was now definitely thinking she made a mistake jumping into the car. She saw the flashing red and blue lights reflecting on the pipes and ground ahead of her, and the cop drove by, and it seemed to not see them. But he certainly was still looking for them. But it came to a stop suddenly, and Saphira guessed that he likely noticed them, and she shivered as she stared at the cop.

There was no movement from either car, and Saphira stared nervously, until she heard the sound of the car ignition trying to start. She had not realized that the engine had shut off, because she was not even thinking of that at this time. She did not know if that was deliberate, and she doubted this bot needed to function with the engine on anyway, but she wasn't sure. She didn't know the biology of the bots yet.

But it didn't take long for the engine to roar to life, and the tyres screech as they spin suddenly as the car sped forward. Saphira watched as the cop backed up suddenly, trying to block them, but the camaro just passed the rear bumper and Saphira sighed in relief, though glanced back to see he was still following them. Saphira groaned as she had a feeling this was going to be a very long night, given she guessed she would be stuck in this car as it sped through the city to try and play Keep Away with the other bot.

To her surprise, once they reached an open area, the car swerved suddenly and Saphira shrieked as the door opened, and she was thrown out onto the cement. She groaned and looked back at the car, flinching as it began to transform in front of her. She stared in shock as he stood up and he was facing the cop, who was still speeding towards them, and he raised his fists, ready to fight and protect her.

Saphira stood up, grabbing her bag, and backing away quickly as she did not want to be involved with the fighting. Especially as the cop sped towards the yellow bot, and he transformed before launching himself at the yellow bot, slamming into him and the two bots smash a small, office building before they began to throw fists at each other. Saphira backed away quickly, with the red optics of the police bot glaring at her briefly, before he focused on the yellow bot.

As Saphira turned to run, she saw a much smaller, skinnier bot jumping from the police bot's chassis and it shrieked something at her, but she didn't understand what it said. She turned to run, mostly to avoid the bigger bots fighting, as she yelped upon hearing the yellow bot being hit and his feet landed on the ground heavily, which she felt while she ran. She didn't have to try too hard to keep away from the little bot, but it was persistent.

She figured she could get away from all of the bots, as with the two larger bots occupied, they would not need to look for her. But she knew that the yellow bot saved her and was prepared to protect her, so she knew running probably was not the best idea at the moment. At least, she didn't want to seem like she didn't care. So she would deal with the little bot when she was further away from them.

But the small bot managed to snatch her bag from her and Saphira stopped, looking back at it to see it emptying the bag. "The glasses aren't in there!" Saphira snapped at it, and the bot looked at her and hissed, and she saw the optics it had were blue instead of red. "Why do you need them anyway? I assume you see fine without any."

The bot hissed and lunged at her, Saphira stepped back and yelped as the bot landed on her and she felt her foot sliding down a hill, making her fall back and the two rolled down the hill. The small bot was clutching her shirt as they roll down the hill, and Saphira grabbed it and tried to pull it off, but she heard ripping of her shirt. She growled, yanking the bot off her just as they land on the bottom and she threw it from her.

She stood up, glaring at the bot as it hissed at her. "At least I you're a little one, I can definitely beat you." The bot hissed and ran towards her, making Saphira smirked a little as she began to shift. The bot skidded to a stop with a shriek of surprise as it watched Saphira's skin change to light, green scales, long, silver claws unsheathe from her finger tips and her face shape changed, with a small snout and her eyes changing shape. She grinned, flashing her sharp, white teeth. "You weren't expecting a shape shifter, were you?" The bot seemed unsure of what to do for a moment, before running at her. "Oh well…"

Saphira hissed and ran at the bot, though the bot lunged at her with his claws ready. Saphira caught the bot in the air and slammed it into the ground, holding the skinny abdomen and the bot swiped at her face. She hissed feeling the sharp claws scratching her face, piercing the soft scales, which she was not expecting. She opened her mouth and bit down on the right shoulder, causing the bot to screech as she bit through lines and yanked on the limb to pull it from its socket.

When she got a mouthful of its blood though, Saphira pulled back and grimaced, spitting it out from her mouth. "Ugh!" She stuck her tongue out a little with a light gag and spat on the ground and shook her head. "Wasn't expecting blood…" She hissed as the bot swiped at her face again, digging its claws into the scratches she already had and she stood up, pulling the bot's hand from her face. "Stop that!"

She slammed the bot back onto the ground and stamped on its chassis. It clawed at her leg with its left hand and she swiped her claws at the neck, cutting the lines and pulling the body free from his neck. She was surprised that he was still twitching, and he seemed to be trying to move away from her. She wiped her mouth with the make of her hand, grimacing as the taste of its blood was still on her tongue.

She glared at the pitiful sight at her feet before she kicked the bot's head, launching it over the hill and listened to it scream. She took deep breaths and rubbed her cheek with a grimace. It has been a long time since anyone or anything was able to hurt her, and she guessed that it could be because of the metal they were made of, or simply because they were alien. It didn't matter, but it stung badly. She groaned shifted back her human form, flinching as she heard loud thuds in the distance.

Seems like those other two are fighting. I could just leave…but…the yellow bot knows where I live.

Saphira placed her hand on her cheek again, knowing she needed something to stop the bleeding, even though she could heal faster than a regular human. She sighed and began to walk back up the hill. She looked down and frown, seeing the cuts in her shirt and she could see her black bra underneath. But she had no other shirts. She could only cross her arms as she walked up the hill to get her bag.

Though as she reached the top of the hill, she saw the yellow bot was walking in her direction. He must have beaten the other bot, and she was relieved, but she was still worried. The bot's right arm changed from a canon back to his hand, and his blue optics look in her direction. His expression softened before he seemed alarmed, as he likely spotted the injury on her cheek. She had no idea what this thing was, but he protected her, and she owed him at least her attention for a short time.

I have no idea what I have just been thrown into. But Fury is not going to believe this when I tell him. Hopefully this bot can tell me what is so special about some dead man's glasses.
