I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING
Jack's Burden Comes Out
Autobot Omega Base 1
"Go home Jack, I will deal with you tomorrow", Arcee said.
But, Jack said.
Go, Arcee said.
Ratchet opened a groundbridge back to Jack's garage and Jack walked through the vortex and into the garage, Jack walked opened the door into the house from the garage and went up to his room Jack's dad was probably sleeping, he went up to his room, and went to bed. Jack woke up the next day, showered and looked at his body to see scars all over him, some were from fighting the decepticons and bullies, some were from the fryer at work, but the rest and there were a bunch, they were from his father beating him, he walked into the garage, to see Arcee wasn't in the garage, Jack grabbed his backpack and walked to school. He went to the first period which was English and sat next Raf.
"You okay dood, " Raf asked.
"Raf I don't know what it feels like to be okay for a long time, that isn't the first time someone has been disappointed in me that I've looked up to, it wasn't the first time and it won't be the last", Jack said.
Raf looked at Jack with tears in eyes only to feel bad for his friend, when he looked at Jack he saw what looked like a mark, like a brand new scar was developing. Jack sees the look on Raf's face.
"Don't cry man, I'm gonna be okay, " Jack said smiling at Raf.
What's that mark on your neck, Raf asked.
"It's nothing, just something from the battle I got, I got a couple more just like it, " Jack said.
You shouldn't have those, Raf said.
"Well you can wish in one hand and crap in the other, besides ain't the first one I got and won't be the last, " Jack said.
All of a sudden Vince comes over and starts to bully them.
"So what are the nerds doing today, " Vince said.
Jack whispers to Raf to ignore them and they'll go away.
"I'm talking to you foureyes, " Vince said.
Raf didn't say a word. Raf took a drink from his water bottle, Vince whacked it out of Raf's hand. Raf went to go pick it up when Vince shoved Raf to the floor and Jack snapped. He grabbed Vince by his throat and pinned him to the table next to them, Vince was at least three inches taller than Jack and was at least 40 more pounds then Jack.
"IF YOU WANT START SOMETHING YOU COME TO ME MOTHERFUCKER AND I WILL RIP YOUR FUCKING THROAT OUT," Jack screamed. Jack cocked his shoulder back ready to punch Vince.
"Let him go Jack, " said.
was a big man who had served in Afghanistan who taught kids english.
Jack reluctantly let Vince go.
You should send him to detention, Vince said.
" , that is every bit of your fault so you should be lucky that I don't send you to detention, " said.
"Everybody take your seats, " said.
After they all sat down, Raf whispered to Jack.
Thanks man, I've never seen you that mad before, Raf said.
Well when you mess with my friends you mess with me, Jack said.
They went on through the day till about lunch time Raf and Jack sat down, and all of a sudden Miko came out of nowhere.
"OH MY GOD YOU ARE A HERO," Miko squealed.
"What are you talking about?" Jack asked.
She whipped out her phone and showed a video to Jack and Raf, it was a video of Jack pinning Vince to the table and screaming in his face.
Oh scrap, who else has seen this, Jack asked.
Like the whole school, Miko said.
Do not show the bots, Jack said.
Why not?, Miko said.
Jack moved some of his to show a small scar under his hair.
"Me and Vince always used to fight back in the day, and my father would hit me every time we fought and got in trouble, saying fighting was prohibited under his roof, " Jack said.
I didn't know i'm sorry, Miko said
"Just don't tell the bots anything, especially Arcee and Optimus okay, " Jack said.
Okay, Miko said.
The school day was over and the kids walked out to see Wheeljack,Bulkhead and Bumblebee.
"Hey, look Wheeljack's back, " Miko said.
The bots were in their holoforms, Miko ran up and hugged Wheeljack.
"Hey I missed you too wrecker, " Wheeljack said.
Hey Jack, Arcee, Bulkhead was cut off before finishing his sentence.
Yeah I know, go home, Jack said.
"No wait here she's gonna pick you up and she wants to talk to you, " Bulk said.
"Well you tell her if she wants to talk to me she knows where I live, " Jack said.
Jack wait, Bulk said, but it was know use when Jack was walking away.
Jack got about to the alley way before he saw a pipe come across and hit him in the face, the people that jumped him drug him into the alley. Wheeljack Bumblebee and Bulkhead immediately took off and went into the alley to see Jack was being beaten, and they threw the people off him, the thugs ran off, Bee drug Jack from the fight and was inspecting his wounds. Without a word Jack got up, grabbed his bag, and started walking away.
"Whoa whoa whoa where are you going, " Bee asked.
Redneck here Bee's voice doesn't work properly and so his speaking lines will look like this and Jack is smart enough to understand Bee.
Going home, Jack said.
No we need to get you back to base, Bee said
No, I'm going home, Jack said.
Wheeljack grabbed Jack's arm.
"You're going to base, I don't care if I got drag you there, " Wheeljack said.
Jack reached into his bag and pulled out a 45 colt revolver and pointed at Wheeljack's head.
"When we get close to your vehicles I'm gonna blow a hole in each of your radiators, have fun driving back to base like that, and if you do get me in one of you guys I'll put a bullet in my own head, " Jack said.
Wheeljack let go of him.
"Oh and uh if you follow me home i'll put a bullet in every one of you, " Jack said.
The bots were speechless as Jack walked away.
They sped off to the base, they walked over to Arcee after they got there .
What did he say when I told him what I told you? Arcee asked.
"Well he said that you know where he lives and you can go to him, " Bee said.
Excuse me, when I get my hands on him I'm gonna, Arcee said, before being cut off.
"He walked off and jumped, and drugged into an alley, " Wheeljack said.
WHAT, Arcee said.
"We went after them in our holoforms and threw them off him, Bee drug him out of the fight, he got up grabbed his bag and was walking away I grabbed his arm, and I told him he needs to come back to base, and he he reached into his bag and pulled a gun and cocked it and pointed at my face, he said you can either let me go or I plow a hole in all of our radiators, and even if we get him inside he'll put a bullet in his head, and if we were to follow him he would shoot at us, " Wheeljack said.
Oh my god, Arcee said.
"What do we do?" Bulk asked.
I'm going to his house, Ratchet open me a bridge, Arcee said.
Ratchet opened a groundbridge to Jack's garage.
When Jack got home he saw his father in his chair with a bottle of Whiskey in his handle. His dad saw Jack's face.
"Boy get over here, " John said.
"What have I told you about fighting boy, " John said before taking a drink.
I got jumped, Jack said.
Bullshit, John said.
John started yelling at him, unbeknownst to them Arcee came through the groundbridge, and had heard John yelling at Jack.
I'm going to my room, Jack said.
Arcee could now see what was happening and she started recording what she could see. John Grabbed Jack and threw him against the wall, and Jack cowered to the ground.
Please stop, Jack begged his father.
Arcee Energon boiled, but she knew she couldn't blow her cover. John poured what was left in the bottle and poured it on Jack.
Get up boy, John said.
When Jack got up, John clenched his fist and punched Jack in the eye.
You are the reason your mom is dead, your failure and a let down, go to your fucking room, John said.
Jack scampered up to his room. Arcee sent this back to base.
The bots watched, then they realized why Jack is the way he is, he has to live with that.
Sir, I want to take him out of here tonight, Arcee said.
I don't think we should do that, Optimus said.
Why, Arcee asked.
Because it can expose us, Optimus said.
"FOR FRAG SAG OPTIMUS I'M NOT LOSING ANOTHER PARTNER, IF I HAVE TO I WILL KILL HIS DAD, " Arcee angrily said.
"Arcee I understand, bring him to the base tomorrow before school, " Optimus said.
Okay Arcee said.
That night Jack took some make up and covered up his bruises and all the scars that his dad gave him, after he was done he grabbed the photo of him and his mom and started crying, Jack then went to bed.
Bzzt Bzzt Bzzt, Jack woke up to hear his phone ringing. He picked up to see it was Arcee and that it was 5:45 in the morning, he picked it up.
Arcee do you know what time it is, Jack said Groggily.
I know we need to talk, Arcee said.
If this is about the Smokescreen thing can we talk about this on the way to school? I have work today, Jack said.
Jack we'll talk about that later, it's about your dad what he did to you yesterday, Arcee said.
How much did you see, Jack asked.
Enough, get dressed there is a Groundbride waiting for you in the garage, your dad already took off, Arcee said.
Jack hung up, Scrap, he said.
Jack got ready for the day, got dressed, grabbed his bag, took his gun out and hid underneath his bed. Walked down stairs cracked a Busch Light open, drank it, reached under the sink, grabbed a pack of Marlboro's and lit a cigarette, finished it and walked through the groundbridge. He walked through while wearing a sweatshirt with a hat, bluejeans and square toe boots on.
He saw the bots look at him.
I was about to come get you, Arcee said.
"Hey guys sorry I'm about yesterday I just didn't want it to get worse when I got home for being late, " Jack said.
"It's okay kid after I watched what happened to you, I don't blame you, " Wheeljack said.
Where's the gun, Arcee asked.
Not on me, Jack said.
Let me see, Sara asked.
Sara is a world class hacker that works at the base, she hacked into the autobot base, and was asked by the government to go work there.
Jack gave her the bag she searched and found a knife but no gun.
Why do you have a gun, Sara asked.
Do you see what I live with, Jack said.
Your breath smells like alcohol and your shirt smells like cigarettes, Sara said.
You'd be right, Jack said.
"A you are under age B where did you even get that stuff, and C smoking cigarettes can lead to cancer, " Sara said.
A I don't give a fuck, B my dad's a drunk, C I can get struck by lightning tomorrow, and D I live every day Like it's my last, " Jack said.
Jack, where's the bruise on your eye, Sara asked.
Jack took a wet wipe and put it to his eye and wiped the make up away to show a nasty a black eye.
Oh my god, Sara said.
Come here, let me take a look at it, Sara said.
All of a sudden Agent Fowler appeared.
Prime, Fowler said.
Fowler noticed Jack was being patched up.
What happened to him, Fowler asked.
My father, Jack said.
His father is a drunk, Sara said.
Oh my god, Fowler said, walking over to Jack.
"You know we could take him from his dad and put him in a group home, " Fowler suggested.
"You do that I'll track you down and tear you a new one, besides he's gonna be gone for a month he's got work he's gotta go do, " Jack said.
After Sara patched Jack up, she pulled Arcee,Optimus and Agent Fowler aside.
You know what happens to kids that live like that, they get killed, Sara said.
Yeah I know that, but the problem is, if we put him on the stand he won't testify, Fowler said.
Why, Arcee asked.
"A He ain't no snitch and B I think he's scared of his dad, I bet he's got more scars like that, Arcee why don't you try to talk to him, " Sara.
I'll try, Arcee said.
Arcee walked over to Jack who was talking to Smokescreen about the other day.
Jack, you ready to go, Arcee asked.
Yeah I guess, Jack said.
They took off out of the base and down the highway.
Jack I'm sorry about your mom, you do know what loss is, and I shouldn't have acted like i did to you, Arcee said.
It's ok, Jack said.
Why didn't you ever tell me that your father abuses you, Arcee asked.
I thought I was only a liability, Jack said
Arcee pulled over and told Jack to get off and she transformed and kneeled on one knee.
"Jack you're not a liability, you're my partner, and when I'm around you My spark races, I am always happy when you're around I don't know where this is coming from, I understand If you don't feel the same but I figured I should at least tell you, "Arcee said.
Arcee I fell in love with you when we tangled with Airachnid, Jack said.
Really, Arcee said.
Yeah, Jack said.
They both leaned and kissed each other, she pulled away smiling.
We need to get you to school, Arcee said
Do we have to, Jack said.
Sadly yes, Arcee said.
She transformed to her bike, and Jack got on, and they sped off.
Jack, are we a couple, Arcee asked.
What, it caught him off guard, do you wanna be, Jack asked.
Yeah, if this is what it means to be a couple, Arcee said.
If you wanna be then yeah, Jack said.
Sadie appeared, Arcee's holoform.
Give me your backpack, Arcee said.
Sadie?, Jack said.
Yep, Arcee said.
Give it to me, Arcee said.
We're doing 80, Jack said.
Give it to me, Arcee demanded.
Okay, Jack said. He then handed it over to Arcee, she put it on her back.
I've dreamed about doing this for a while, Arcee said.
She then took her arms and wrapped her hands around Jack's pecs, and took her helmet placed into Jack's back.
ARCEE what are you doing, Jack asked.
I've seen other couples do this, and I've wanted this for a long time, Arcee said.
"You can do that, but you need to be taller and your boobs need to be bigger, your helmet digs into your back, " Jack said.
Okay, Arcee said. Sadie transformed into what Jack asked her to, and rested her helmet on Jack's shoulder.
I can get used to this, Arcee said.
Me too, Jack said.
They sped off to Jasper High School.
