I apologize but I have not worked on more of the story. My interests have just been jumping around and it makes focusing hard. I don't know if I'll get back into it but I did read over some of chapters and saw room for editing, though I might not obsess over that. Anyways, if you didn't see this in the Collection Pack, I hope you enjoy this here


Fowler watched in silence as the girl's eyes closed and her body slumped to the side as the sedative quickly took effect. It didn't surprise him by how fast it kicked in, even though it normally took a few minutes to do so. In fact, since the girl was so sick looking, it would have surprised the man if it hadn't reacted so fast.

For a moment the agent found himself unable to move as he looked down at the girl. Namely he was looking at the tears that plainly stained her cheeks. Seeing them made a pang of guilt swell in his heart as a new frown found its way on his face. While it was obvious that the man didn't trust the girl he didn't mean to scare her to the point of making her cry. Seeing the tears reminded him that, while he found her suspicious, the girl was still just a kid. Mind you a kid with strange morphing abilities but a kid nonetheless.

"Hot damn." He cursed under his breath, heaving a heavy sigh as he rubbed a hand down his face. Well, at least the hard part was over.

Now the only issue the man had to worry about was transporting the girl back to his base. Although, considering he had no idea how long the sedative would stay in effect, perhaps he'd ask to just be ground bridged. While it was unlikely the girl would wake up before he reached his base he didn't want to risk it; besides, the sooner he got her the help she clearly needed the better.

So, as if finally coming out of a trance, Fowler bent down and gathered the girl in his arms. Instantly he was caught off guard by how light she was. He had been able to tell earlier that she was likely underweight but didn't think it would be this bad. Heck, the girl couldn't weight more than a hundred pounds, maybe less! If that wasn't bad enough, now that he had a better look at her, he could see thin scars and marks covering her arms. When he got back to the base he knew he'd have to get the on sight nurse to fully examine her.

It wasn't as if the agent didn't trust Ratchet's judgement. In fact he fully believed the Autobot when he expressed how he believed the girl's kidneys had damage to them. It was just, by the Cybertronian's own admission, the Autobot knew very little about the human body. So, while the medic managed to catch the muscle strain and kidney damage, Fowler knew that there was no doubt a lot more wrong with the girl than what meet the eye.

Heaving another heavy sigh Fowler adjusted his grip on the teenager and spun around. As the agent started to walk back to the main room he glanced down at the girl again. He wasn't sure how he was going to explain the craziness to his superiors. While aliens weren't much of a stretch he didn't think they'd believe him if he told them she had strange morphing powers. The man also doubted the girl would willingly demonstrate her abilities like she did for him and the others. He wasn't even sure if he should admit what she could do or not; he wanted answers but he didn't want to scare the girl more than he already did.

"Come on, we need to go before he sees us."

"Stop pulling me!"

"Miko!"

As Fowler neared the first corner he resisted the urge to sigh; instead settling for hanging his head and shaking it. He should have expected that the kids would have followed him. Especially after all the stories he's heard about them sneaking through ground bridges to watch the Autobots fight with the Decepticons. Granted most of the time that was mostly just Miko, and the others have expressed they've tried to stop her. Still, if the kids would risk they'll lives by doing something that stupid why not this?

Before the man had a chance to call out to the kids, however, Miko rapidly stumbled out of their hiding place. In his surprise, Fowler just barely managed to avoid colliding with the girl as he stepped to the side. He also couldn't hide his surprise as he stared at the Japanese teen while she regained her balance in front of him. He hadn't expected that to happen though he had a good idea to how it happened. Obviously one of the boys had tried to pull her away but he lost his grip when pulled away.

"Um... whoops?" The girl responded sheepishly as she looked towards the agent. Finding no other reason to stay hidden the two boys sighed and stepped out to reveal themselves.

"What to go, Miko." Jack whispered and shot the female a accusing glare. Miko returned the glare and huffed as she stubbornly crossed her arms against her chest.

"Don't blame me! This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been pulling me." She argued and uncrossed her arms to jab the teen in his chest.

"Enough; I already knew you three were there." Fowler interrupted and gave the squabbling teens a stern glare of his own.
