Well, here's the first chapter! Hope you like it! I worked on this all day and then some. Let me know what you think about Robyn as an OC and if she can be improved.

Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers Rescue Bots.

Robyn's PoV

What does it mean to be a hero? I wouldn't know, I just do my job everyday and that's keeping everyone in Griffin Rock safe. That doesn't make me a hero. Being a hero is doing things beyond the call of duty. But that was all I did: my duty. And that's all I could ask for. Things I did in my down time were gymnastics and cooking. Now I know that my chocolate cake is top notch, not to blow my own horn, but it's no reason to think of me as heroic. Even so, if anyone had to be called heroes it was the Burns family. Not me. I was a Burns-Anderson. Not actually related. Probably wondering how that happened huh? Well I ain't gonna tell yet and there's nothing anyone can do to make me. I'll talk about it in my own time and my time only. Only Charlie had heard me even make a whisper about it and even then I was twelve. Cody doesn't know what happened fully, just that there was an accident.

"Robyn, we're all going out on patrol. You coming?" Charlie asked me from downstairs when he currently was. I was up in the bathroom putting my hair into a ponytail so it wouldn't get too messed up when I was out riding. Instead of going around in the police car like Kade, Graham and Dani did with Charlie, I had my own motorbike which I got three years ago.

"Uh, yeah. I'm coming now." I called down as I tightened my bobble and double checked my leotard wasn't showing through my shirt. Thankfully it wasn't. It was one of my more bold ones so the brightness of the colours may have shown through my satin long sleeved blue police shirt and black skinny leather-ish pants. No offence to Charlie, but I wasn't going to wear the same type of trousers as he did. His were really out of fashion. When I was satisfied with how I looked, I bounded down the stairs, grabbing my helmet that I hung on the banister.

"What did I tell you about leaving your helmet on the banister Robyn?" Charlie repeated for the thousandth time this month alone as I passed him in the kitchen, heading to the firepole.

"What!? It's easier and quicker than getting it from the garage each time I need it." I protested as I wrapped my arms around the pole, helmet strap hanging around my arm.

"Not when you're going to the garage to get to your bike anyway. Please put your helmet on the shelf down there."

"No promises." I laughed, sliding down the pole, silencing any further conversation. Don't get me wrong, I really do respect Charlie and I'm super grateful for him taking me in and calling me his own, but it was just easier to grab it coming down the stairs! Once I was down in the bunker, I swung my leg over my motorbike, pulled on my helmet, revved the engine and pulled out of the firehouse garage where the rest of the Burns', minus Cody, were waiting for me. "I'll go downtown and report anything I find." I shouted slightly to make sure I was heard over the sound of the engines.

"Just make sure you're at the dedication ceremony this afternoon. You're helping me present the new emergency vehicles" Charlie answered. I just gave him a thumbs up before rolling down the drive and onto the main road. Unlike everyone else, I wasn't getting a new rescue vehicle. Guess I'm just not important enough to get one. Not that I would've taken one anyway. I saved up for this thing for years.

"Ugh, sorry I'm late Charlie. Mr. Pettypaws was stuck in a tree again." I explained to the chief as I rushed up on stage where he was currently waiting, along with a large crowd chatting away, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

"It's fine Robyn. You're just in time. You remember your lines right?" he asked me. I nodded confidently.

"I may forget when I put my keys most of the time, but I'm not that forgetful." I joked. "But seriously, I lost my house keys this morning. They're in the bunker somewhere." words carried on spewing out of my mouth. Mayor Luskey clearing his throat stopped me from carrying on any further as the ceremony was beginning. I took my place next to Charlie with my arms behind my back.

"Thank you for coming folks. Our town has a long history of being on the cutting edge of new technology." Charlie started.

"Now thanks to the people in D.C., we give you the lastest in emergency response: the rescue bots!" we announced as the floor behind us opened up and the four new vehicles rose up from the ground, able to be viewed by the public. There was a red firetruck, a blue police car, a green bulldozer and a yellow helicopter. Not too shabby. The guys in D.C. really outdid themselves. The crowd burst into applause.

"Robots, transform!" Charlie ordered and one by one, each of the emergency vehicles folded in and out on itself to form a… very very tall robot with their own colour schemes. Even I had to applaud to that. They were impressive to say the least. "These robotic rescue vehicles will streamline our resources." he added on before nodding to me.

"Now, one team with one bot and one human can do the work of an entire police force, fire department, emergency response unit and engineering core." I explained to the attentive crowd. As I listed off each team, one of the Burns stood next to their respective robots. "Each robot is programmed to respond only to the command of its handler." I continued.

"So you can sleep at night, knowing that Griffin Rock is protected by the very best technology and humanity have to offer." Charlie finished off. A few photos from Huxley later and we were done.

"I was so sure I was gonna stumble on my words. That is not as easy as you make it out to be chief." I smiled at him once people's attention were more on the robots than on the family. Then, all of our comms started going off. Charlie answered.

"This is the chief, go ahead." he responded. "Fire at the natural history museum." before he could even finish the end of his sentence, the firebot transformed back into his firetruck form. That's weird.

"What in the…?" I thought aloud.

"I didn't tell it to do that." Kade commented just as confused as I was.

"It's new technology son, bound to be some bugs." Charlie explained to Kade… too quickly. He answered way to fast then for my liking.

"...Well come on slow pokes! We got a fire to put out." Dani announced, running to her helicopter.

"See you there." I said begrudgingly. I hate it when we have to put out a fire.

"You join in on clean up Rob. Don't need you slowing us down." Kade commented, making me glare at him like murder did it's victims.

"Shut up Kade." I hissed before forcefully shoving my helmet on and running over to my bike.

When I reached the museum, the rest of the team were well underway and it was obvious there was a lot of friction between the Burns and their new bots save from chief.

"Nice for you to show up once the fire's out Robbie." Kade teased as we were all heading into the museum.

"Don't call me that. Are you sure the fire's out?" I asked cautiously, hugging myself as a way of comfort knowing that there was no fire left in the building. Once inside, there was water dripping everywhere from Kade's handiwork. "So what happened here exactly Graham?"

"Looks like a short started the fire but this should hold for a while." Graham explained as he fiddled about with one of the circuits in one of the displays. "The cyberwire's too much for these old circuits." he continued.

"Well it's just a good thing nobody got hurt." Charlie said. Then, sparks started coming from one of the displays above Charlie and Graham before the head of a dino started falling towards them.

"Look out!" I yelled, acting on impulse and pushing both of them out the way, my own body falling on the floor. But before the dino made impact with my ribcage, the firebot shot its hand through the broken window and stopped the dino head from falling. I looked up to it to see the red bot almost staring at me.

'I swear there are eyes behind that visor.' I said to myself in my head.

"I didn't tell it to do that." Kade repeated from earlier.

"I'm not complaining." I muttered.

"Robyn are you okay?" Dani asked me, helping me up.

"Your robot was still in rescue mode. You gave it the directive to save lives, so it did." Charlie pointed out to Kade.

"Your welcome Robyn." Kade sassed.

"Oh bite me." I spat at him, crossing my arms in a huff.

"Thanks Robyn." Graham thanked me. I just smiled.

"We better head out." Dani decided. The others nodded and followed her lead. Quickly I turned to face the thing that saved my life, only to find it still looking at me. It was kinda creepy. Nevertheless I sent the robot a smile.

"Thank you." I whispered to it.

"What was that Robyn?" Charlie asked me, snapping my head to his general direction.

"Nothing!" I called back to him, turning back to the robot, but it was gone. "Huh." I uttered to myself before jogging through the museum to catch up with the others already at the entrance.

It was later on in the evening when we were all having dinner. That firetruck robot was still sticking to the front of my mind. Why did it look like it was looking at me? How did it have eyes underneath a visor? If there;s eyes in the design, why's there even a visor there?

"I still don't get it, how did Kade's robot know to-" Cody started speaking before Dani cut him off.

"Hey pass the carrots would you?" she asked Graham. "I noticed a glitch or two with my coptor but at least I had it under control."

"A glitch is one thing. What I saw-" Cody tried again, but this time he was cut off by Charlie, making me annoyed. I know they aren't doing it on purpose, but they must hear him right?

"Kade, Dani, Graham, Robyn, you guys did great work today." Charlie praised us, but I saw it made Cody feel even worse.

"Can I be excused?" Cody asked Charlie before running off.

"I'm gonna go check on him." I decided after a minute of him not coming back. I excused myself from the table and went to go look in one of the few places he'd be. I quickly slid down the firepole all the way into the bunker where Cody was at the bottom.

"Hey Cody, you-" I started but he shushed me, pointing to the bots who were… alive. What. The. Hell?

"...Those humans will never understand us. We'll never belong here." the red one was saying.

"I know what you mean." Cody inputted.

"Cody!" I exclaimed. Why did he just let them all know we're here! Fast, but not fast enough, the four robots slid down their visors and became still.

"You guys need to drop the act. We've seen you." I told them, gaining more confidence now and moving over towards them slightly.

"Don't even bother. You're not fooling anyone. Trust me, living in Griffin Rock, I know robots." Cody told them.

"We know robots." I added, not wanting to be left out.

"We know robots and you guys are the worst robots we've ever seen." he finished. They all started shifting a little.

"We've failed our mission, our cover is blown! If these humans knows, they'll tell the others." the blue and white police robot exclaimed sadly. Sadly? So these guys are definitely more than machines that's for sure if they can feel emotion.

"Are you kidding? And waste the chance to know something they don't?" Cody replied, walking over to stand by the coptor bot. "I'm the best thing that could've happened to your mission." he continued.

"Am I dead meat to you, or what?" I asked Cody in disbelief. He keeps leaving me out as if I'm not here!

"Sorry Robyn. We're gonna teach you everything you need to know about Earth." he corrected himself.

"Can either of you teach me how to make my human stop yelling?" the copter bot asked hopefully.

"Dani? Yeah, that's not gonna happen. It is Dani after all." I answered.

"I'm Cody by the way, and this is Robyn, my older adopted sister." Cody introduced us to the copter bot, shaking his hand.

"I'm Blades." Blades replied. At least I can stop calling him copter bot. Do the others have names too?

"Boulder." the bulldozer introduced himself.

"Classified." the police bot stated.

"That's Chase." Boulder informed us.

"And I'm Heatwave." Heatwave introduced himself. "So Cody, Robyn, now you know what we are, name one good reason we shouldn't leave this planet right now." Heatwave added.

"Um… in case a dino head tries to kill me again?" I suggested pathetically. "No?" It was then I noticed his eyes. "Hey, so you do have eyes! I thought I was going crazy. Thanks for the save earlier, but why were you staring at me?" I asked Heatwave, looking at him with general curiosity.

"...Part of learning about humans. We have to study you." he replied after a few seconds of silence.

"Wait, I know, follow me." Cody said, heading towards one of the tunnels. We were all soon going through the tunnels until we came out on a ridge. "There's tunnels like this one all over the island. And they all lead back to the bunker. Great for sneaking out." Cody told them. Boulder said something about carbon which I didn't quite catch but I guess he liked it. "Yeah, I guess it is. So why would you want to leave?" he asked Heatwave who couldn't find a response for that.

"You know what, if you guys are gonna stay, you need to learn how to act when in public. Y'know, so people won't discover you're not robots like we did. Mainly because you won't be living in their garage, but my point still stands." I realised. "Cody, what movie's playing at the drive in theatre tonight?" I asked him.

"Alien Invasion 2, why?" he asked, confused.

"Who's up for a field trip?" I inquired, smiling brightly.

"This is what everyone's gonna expect you to act like." I told them as we sat on a small hill behind the theatre, but close enough we could see the film. Cody was sitting on Heatwave's tyre guard eating popcorn while I curled into Boulder's scoop-y thing. Cody slid off the bot to demonstrate.

"Lock your arms and legs like this. You all try." Cody told them, forcing me to move from my comfy spot. It takes a while to make metal warm with your own body heat, doesn't he know that? Now I'm cold. They all transformed and started walking around like real robots. Not that they weren't real robots to begin with. All but Heatwave were doing it.

"Heatwave?" I asked him with an 'I'm waiting' tone.

"Really?" he sighed before walking around all robotic. From behind him I could see… Blades doing the robot.

"You taught him that, didn't you?" Cody asked me with an unimpressed look.

"No I did not. Wish I did though." I corrected him. We made Blades cease dancing.

"Look you two, I understand what you're doing. But I just don't get how talking-like-this is gonna make my ride along respect me." he told us.

"The trick with Kade is to make him think he's in charge. Trust me, I've been doing it for years." Cody told him.

"And don't worry, if he does something you don't like, I'll sort him out." I added with an evil grin, punching my palm.

"Robyn!" Cody exclaimed in shock.

"What? I was kidding… mostly." I winked. A roar made it's way through the street, making all of us turn to the source.

"Is that part of the film?" Blades asked us. A dinosaur then came onto the street next to the theatre and started wrecking things on the road.

"Oh my god, how is that thing here?" I thought aloud in shock.

"I know I'm new here but aren't dinosaurs extinct?" Blades asked in general.

"This one's about to be." Heatwave replied, making a move towards it.

"Wait Heatwave, look if anyone sees you taking down that dino on your own, there goes your cover. And your mission." Cody warned him, forcing him to stay put. Soon we found out the machine was attracted to light and got it to follow us to an unpopulated area by the bots sirens and headlights. Both Cody and I were inside Heatwave after he decided to not leave us on the hillside.

"I'll comm link the chief in." Heatwave told us through the console.

"This is the chief, go ahead." Charlie answered.

"Dad, first don't worry, I'm with Robyn and the rescue bots. And you're not going to believe this but… they're not robots. They're from another planet. They're aliens!" Cody explained briefly to Charlie.

"It's true Charlie."

"...How long have you known?" he asked us. What?

"Wait you know!?" I asked in surprise. The chief then spoke with Chase before returning to us.

"Cody, you're not driving are you?" he asked.

"You really think I'd let him drive? I don't have a death wish! Besides, Heatwave's driving." I told him. Once we reached the forest, we cut all the light and cut the engines, hoping the dino wouldn't find us. Charlie, Dani, Kade and Graham soon did though and took the bots off us.

"Stay here you two." Charlie told us before getting into Chase and driving off.

"Like hell I am! I'm just as much an emergency responder as anyone else. Come on Cody." I said, grabbing Cody by the wrist and dragging him in the same direction as the others went. Cody kept talking to everyone on the comm link on how to interact with their bots and how to stop the dino. After consulting with Frankie Greene, we had a plan to stop the dinosaur. Cody and I had to hide in the bush until the machine was trapped in the cage. We managed to hear and see Kade freaking out at Heatwave talking which was a riot. He then went up to the top ot the ditch they were in and he set his siren on full brightness, attracting the dinosaur's attention off of Chase and onto him. The dinosaur came chargin but he easily flipped him over into the ditch.

"Wow. He's strong." I thought aloud, making Cody look at me. "What? He is. Come on, they're dropping the cage." We got into the ditch, getting mud all over the back of my trousers unfortunately and cautiously made our way to the struggling, trapped dinosaur.

"I hope Frankie's right." Cody uttered before reaching for a panel and pulling the kill switch. Thankfully it worked and the dino stopped struggling.

"Now, how do we get this back to the museum?" I wondered aloud.

"Think anyone will notice?" Graham asked as we all witnessed the dino in the most unnatural position ever back in the museum.

"Nah." I said making our way out of the museum. As we went down the steps, Charlie stopped us.

"Wait, I want a picture of my heroes." he said, Cody moving away sadly as he said so. "All my heroes." he added. We all joined him, save for Kade.

"Come on dad, just because he answered one call doesn't mean he's part of the team." Kade pointed out.

"Yes, it does." a familiar voice interrupted, making Kade scream. "Or we're not." Heatwave added, removing his visor. Dani and Graham also freaked out which was fun to see. "Cody and Robyn are our liaisons on this mission. They're the reason we're even giving this place a chance. Are we clear?" he got all up in Kade's face growling. I so wish that camera was recording right now!

"Dad, did that robot just talk back to me?" Kade asked Charlie.

"What do you think?" I asked sarcastically, rolling my eyes. "My brother ladies and gentlemen."

"Something's definitely wrong with the robots." Dani added.

"We can't use technology prone to malfunction." Graham pointed out.

"They're not malfunctioning… They're aliens."

"WHAT!" *click!* The camera went with Kade, Graham and Dani pulling shocked faces, Charlie smiling normally, Cody taking up the entire lower part of the photo and myself holding up a thumbs up, leaning on Heatwave's leg.

Oh yeah, this was gonna be interesting.

And that's the first chapter! Hope you liked it! Please review!
