I'm gotta kick this off with a long chapter, anyway I hope you enjoy.

It's a year later and everything normal. Well as normal as you can get with an Alien robot as a boyfriend but everything change the moment that Sam and I touched the All-Spark sliver, some for worst but some for good. Everything works out in the end right? Almost always. - Nora Pax

X.X 1 YEAR LATER X.X

Dad and I would spend a few days a month normally just the two of us doing stuff as a family, he would use his holoform of cause. He has soft brown hair with bright blue eye's and his skin is pale like mine but not as much.

I would normally spend time with all the Autobot and we bonded becoming more of a family. Seeing Jazz, Hide, Side and Sunny (Who are twins and new to Earth and the pranksters, we got along quite well) and as well as the other set of twins Skids and Mudflap. Ratchet as meh Grandpa. My little Novablade was growing and was now a galaxy 4 phone.

Everything was normal. Well as normal as it can get with an alien robot as a guardian. No, I don't mean my boyfriend Bumblebee. I moved out of the house when I turned eighteen and Dad rather had Bee stay with Sam. So now I have Jazz as my guardian. Though I visit Sam almost everyday, I miss my sweet Bee.

Today my lovely brother goes to collage. Lucky boy. You wondering why I don't? I already have work, my own business -fixing car's- and I'm getting a lot of money. Though I don't have a really big house, more of a small one floor with a big garage for Jazz to stand and for me to work on cars in.

I was dressed in a blue short belly top that was lose and hight waisted black shorts. After everything that happened in Mission City I decided that it would be best if I stand in better shape. The main reason was because I helped with moving the guys into their base and a lot of boxes needed moving, which was quite the work out, ha ha. On top of that I'm stronger then girls my age. Just saying that brings back memories of when Sam and I went back to school, I had be wearing a top like this one. Let's just say I got a lot of attention from boys -not something I really wanted.

Anyway moving on, I walked out the garage door to see Jazz in his car form ready for us to leave. Novablade on my shoulder.

"How ya doin' lil' lady and N'va?" Jazz asked. I smiled at him and opened the door.

a chirped, "Good!"

"We're cool, Jazz. And you?" I ask and sat down in the drivers seat.

"I'm good now you're sitting in me." He joke flirted. We did that a lot, we're best friend and we both know he was joking, he knew I only saw him as a brother.

"Don't let Daddy hear ya. He'll have your bumper." Jazz and I both burst out laughing at what little Nova said.

"Let's go. I want to see my sexy boyfriend and my idiot of a brother." I said and started 'driving'. I still call Sam my brother even if were not blood related, after what I found out. I call Ron and Judy by their names, we had got into an argument but we resolved it.

"Nova, sweetie can you stay here?" He nodded. When we reached the house, I stepped out and walked to the door just when Sam and Ron came out. Mojo the Chihuahua and Frankie the female French bulldog ran past me.

"Come one, Kiddo, we're on a schedule." Ron said to Sam, both walking past me. They didn't even say hello, that hurts, it wounds me.

"Slow down, Dad. Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?" I rolled my eyes at Sam. "Did you rent the room out?"

Probably. I mused.

"No, I got another idea for your room and it rhymes with 'home theatre.'" Should have seen it coming.

"Hello to you too!" I yelled at them and went in the house. I found Judy crying holding some baby shoes. I breathed deeply in and went to stand next to her. She hugged me and when Sam came in she turned to him. Sam looked slightly concerned for her... I think.

"Look what I found. It's your little baby-booties. You can't go." I snorted unwillingly and tried to cover it with a cough and took a bottle of water from the table. She held his head in her arm's so Sam had to bend a little forward. Then Ron walked in.

I listen to them talking about Sam having to come home for every holiday thingy. I started out the kitchen window.

I turned to them as Ron slapped Judy's butt, "My poor innocent eyes, doomed!" I yelled, covering my eye's.

Sam then went onto talking about how Ron shouldn't do that in front of us. Judy went up stairs and started crying again. Ron then pointed at where Mojo and Frankie were, saying, "You'll see a lot of that in collage, too." Sam turned to me and I gave him a warning look.

"Just don't cheat on Mikky or else..." I trailed off and he nodded, looking scared. We followed Ron out and Sam still didn't get it until they were outside when he said.

"Yeah, well, I'm a one-women kind of guy."

"Good, cause if you hook up with another women I'll feed you to the Cons." Ron turned to me with a frown and Sam with a look that made me think he peed his pants.

They continued on that topic until Sam's phone rang.

"Hey, beautiful." He said, I smile. I was happy they were together. Now I think about together. I glanced at the garage where my boyfriend was staying. I noticed Sam go back into the house and I went up to his room.

"I love it when you say 'camshafts'. Whisper it to me." He said

"You know whenever I am with Bee I don't even do things like that... when you're around. Will you do that for me too please?" I mocked-begged.

"You call him Sexy all the time." He said in a matter of fact.

"And you call her beautiful so we both state the obvious." It's true, Mikaela is beautiful and my boyfriend is one damn sexy car. Sam laughs, probably because she did whisper it to him.

"It's my Witwicky charm." I snorted at Sam and looked down curiously when I heard something fall.

"Wait, hold on. Wait, hold on a second." Sam picked it up and my eyes widened as I recognized the signs on the metal piece.

"Mikaela, I think a sliver of the Cube got stuck on my shirt." I went up to Sam and when to take it off him. Suddenly the tip of the shard sparked making me jump back as a tingling sensation went through my hand to my arm. Sam, as well, let go. The sliver began to smoke. It fell on the ground... and through the floor. The small hole began to catch fire and Sam tried to step on it while I yelped and ran out the room.

"Fire in the hold!" I screamed. I ran in the kitchen and screamed as red optics looked at me. One of the small bots started shooting at me, followed by the rest. I ran to Sam's room closed the door behind me, leaning against it.

"What's wrong?" He asked me while pouring a bottle of water over the fire.

"We've got a little problem." I said.

"What is it?" He asked as he pushed me away from the door and opened it.

"No!" I screeched as those mini Con's tackled Sam to the ground. They shot at him and me. I shrieked at the stings of the bullets. We jumped through Sam's window onto the roof. We jumped off the roof when they were shooting at us again. The little Con's followed us out of the house and began shooting at Ron as well. We all crawled behind the fountain, using it as cover.

I ignored Ron and Sam scream, "Bumblebee!" Bee shot through the wooden door and transformed. He looked around and began to shoot at the mini Cons. I glanced over the fountain seeing Judy run out of the house with some pans on her head... seeing nothing so she bumped against one of the flower pots.

"I told her not to hang them that low." I said frowning.

"Bumblebee! Get in the garage, GO!" Sam screamed. I punched him in rage.

"How dare you talk to him like that!? He just saved our sorry asses!" I screamed at Sam. He ignored me and Bee whirled and clicked, motioning that he didn't do anything wrong. He was right, Sam asked him for help and he did a great job.

"Mama!" I looked over to see Novablade running towards me, kneeling on one knee I picked him up and held him to my chest.

"Is Mama okay?" Nova looked up at me worried optics. I smiled and nodded.

"Yep, thanks to Bee." His optics brightened at Bee's name.

"Daddy!"

"I need you to transform for me, sweetie, okay?" He nodded and transformed like I asked. I put him in my pocket.

Walking out to greet Mikky, Sam walked over to her as well. "What happened?"

"Come here. Listen, I need you to take the Cube sliver and put it in your purse." He said, putting the small sliver in the tub in her purse. Judy called for us so we went up to her.

"Hey, Mikaela. I have a bald spot." She said, showing Mikaela her bald spot. I just stared weirdly at her.

I walked off as it was for Sam anyway. We then walked into the garage and I yelped as Bee hit himself across the head.

"Don't hit yourself." I yelled and ran up to him taking his hand in my two hands. He purred at me before looking up at Sam with wide optics.

"Yeah, you know you're in trouble." Sam said.

"He still having voice problems?" Mikky asked with a small smile.

"My poor baby!" I said hugging his arm making him purr again. I swear he's like a cat. I thought to myself amused by his actions.

"Bee, I want to talk to you about the collage thing, okay?" Sam said, making me frown. Didn't he say anything to Bee then?

"I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!" Bee said though the radio and did a little dance.

"Hey, I'm not taking you with me." Sam said, taking Bee by surprise. He sadly whirled and looked at him with an expression that broke my heart.

"I'm gonna wait outside, okay?" Mikky said and went out.

"Nora can you-" Bee loudly whined and put a hand over my body shaking his head. I patted his chest, making him look at me.

"It's just be for a minute, okay?" He reluctantly let me outside. I stopped however when I saw Mikaela strip.

"Whoa! Your boyfriend is still inside you know." I said. She looked up and me and grinned. "You know I don't go that way. I have one sexy bot in there," She giggled and looked at me.

"You really love him don't you?" She said.

"Of course, why not." I looked at her white dress a small blush on my face from her question, "Nice dress by the way," She thanked me and took some flowers in her hand.

Sam came out, "Nora can you.." I nodded and went inside but stopped beside Sam.

"You know... the Witwicky Family is really selfish... I'm kinda glad I was adopted." He gasped. I know I hurt him but hell, he deserved it. I went in the garage and Bee looked up at me.

"Sweetie, I won't ever leave you, you know that." He whirled softly and nodded. He transformed back into his alt-mode and suddenly I was pushed back by Bee's holoform. He pushed me against the wall and leaned his body into me, his mouth hungrily against mine. I kissed him back with the same as him, letting him tongue explore my mouth.

"I love you Sweetsparks. Promise me you won't leave me." He whisper against my lips.

"I love you too and I promise." I said. He smiled and kissed me passionately. I moaned deeply, enjoying the feeling of him against me.

"Why don't you come to my house?" I asked when we pulled back, his blue eyes darkening with passion and desire. I grinned and slapped him shoulder lightly.

"Not in that way, idiot. I mean come live with me. Jazz needs some company as well." His eyes still spark with desire sparked with hope.

"Really?"

"Of course, Sexy. So are you coming?" he grinned at his nickname and kissed my jaw.

"I'll take that as a yes." I moaned. This was going to be interesting.

X.X.X.X.X

We didn't go with Sam to his collage because of Bee still upset that Sam left him. Just the look in his eye made me want to punch Sam. Again...

So Bee, Jazz, Novablade and I went back to mine, where I was currently working on a car with the others watching me in their holoforms -expect Novablade who didn't have one yet- and listening to Jazz's music.

"Lil' Lady, do you mind comin' with us to NEST?" Jazz asked, I looked up from my space under the car.

"Sure, I want to see Dad and the others." I replied as I got out from under the car and cleaned my hands that had oil on them.

"Then it's best we go now. They are all coming back from the Shanghai mission." Bee said. I nodded and stood up with them and went to their alt-mode. I picked up a sleeping Novablade and stepped into the passenger seat of Bee, relaxed.

X.X.X.X.X

We soon arrived at the base just when soldiers and a semi came out a plane. I jumped out of Bee and walked over, the door opened and Dad's holoform stepped out.

I smiled and ran over, he let out a laugh as we hugged, "We'll have to talk later I'm afraid Nora." I smiled again and shrugged.

"Meh, I'm cool with that, Dad," I waved and walked over into the hanger, Dad and the others drove in. Walking passed the coffins, I bowed my head in respect of the fallen.

I walked into the place where there was a higher level so we could talk face to face with the bot's... kinda. We were still too small. I was surprised when I saw not one of the Autobots in their normal forms. What was going on? I narrowed my eyes as someone I didn't know passed me. Epps walked up beside me and the man looked like someone who could be annoying, irritating.

I watched Dad click and shifted into his normal form. He slightly turned to looked at us.

He is a badass leader.

3rd Person

"You gotta wonder, if God made us in his image, who made him?" Epps said. Nora nodded at him and glanced at all the Autobots who were unusually quiet making her worried.

"General, our alliance has countermanded six Decepticon incursions this year, each on a different continent. They're clearly searching around the world for something. But last night's encounter came with a warning." Optimus Prime spoke looking down at them. Before playing a voice recording.

"The Fallen shall rise again."

"The Fallen. Meaning what?" A human voice asked.

"Someone who fell on their butt." Nora whispered to Epps, who grinned down at her.

"Origin unknown. The only recorded history of our race was contained within the AllSpark and lost with its destruction." Optimus said.

"Excuse me!" The guy next to Epps yelled and climbed up the stairs. "With this so-called AllSpark now destroyed, why hasn't the enemy left the planet like you thought they would?" Nora warningly narrowed her eyes at the man, not liking the way he spoke to her father.

"Director Galloway, our National Security Advisor. The President just appointed him liaison." Will said, rolling his eyes

"Well, I guess I didn't get that memo." A voice came through the TV.

"Forgive the interruption, General." Galloway said, "Excuse me. Coming through. Excuse me. Excuse me, soldier... Um. After all the damage in Shanghai, the President is, um, hard-pressed to say the job's getting done. Now, under the classified Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act, you agreed to share your Intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry." Nora rolled her eye at the man.

"We've witnessed your human capacity for war. It would absolutely bring more harm than good." Optimus said pointing to Galloway.

"But who are you to judge what's best for us?" The man challenged, Nora was going to say something but Epps lay his hand over her mouth receiving a glare from the girl.

"With all due respect, we've been fighting side by side in the field for two years." Will said, looking at Galloway.

"We've shed blood, sweat and precious metal together." Epps said, taking his hand away from Nora's face revealing a sneer.

"Soldier, you're paid to shoot, not talk." Galloway said, making Nora almost scream out in anger.

"Don't tempt me." Epps said. Optimus looked down at him and his daughter.

"Easy." Optimus said. He could feel Nora's anger though his parental bond.

"I understand they arrived here after you sent a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House." Galloway continued.

"Let me stop you right there, Mister Galloway. It was vetted right here. And in my experience, the judgement of both Major Lennox and his team has always been above reproach."

"Well, be that as it may, General, it is the position of the President that when our national security is at stake... No one is above reproach. Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified NBE-One- aka Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss, surrounded by SOSUS detection nets and a full-time submarine surveillance. We also know that the only remaining piece of your alien AllSpark is locked in an electromagnetic vault here on one of the most secure naval bases in the world," Galloway said, not noticing Nora was creeping up on him, ready to pounce when ready.

"And since no one can seem to tell me what the enemy is now after. Well, there's only one clear conclusion!" Galloway turned to Optimus and pointed to him.

"You! The Autobots! They're here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that? The Fallen shall rise again? It sounds to me like some thing's coming." Everyone looked between Galloway and Optimus. Optimus looked pissed off, and Nora could feel his anger ever so slight. "So. Let me ask, if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave? Peacefully?" He asked. Nora was now shooting daggers at him with her eye's. Will noticing the dangerous looks of Nora and stepped back.

"Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honour it. But... before your President decides, please ask him this: What if we leave... and you're wrong?" Optimus said back.

"That's a good question." Will whispered to him.

"And who are you to judge them?" They all slowly turned to a strong female voice. "You don't know them as good as I do or any of these soldiers and we know they would never harm a human or anything at all without a reason." Nora held back a hissed, her voice strong and commanding. A leaders voice.

"And who are you girl? You should not be here." He hissed back.

"That's Nora Pax, Sir. She is one of the three that met the Autobots firsts and is the daughter of Optimus Prime" Will Said

"I don't care for reasons, these bots are my family and friends, that is enough of a reason." She said calmly bringing all men and bots on edge. They could all here the determination. She sounded like her father. Like a leader.

"Really? What will you do when we sent them back into space? I can easily imagine that when a bot is missing here they are with you, right?" Nora held her head high with a determined expression, but Optimus could feel her anger. He held back a smile at how well she was holding it back. "You are only a distraction to them." Galloway said, and Optimus looked down at his narrowing his eyes.

"Galloway, you are mistaken. Nora is not a distraction to either me or my Autobots, we are highly able to perform our duty even in the company of her, the only Autobots that are not here are guardians of her and Sam Witwicky. If you continued you are signing your wish for a broken nose." Optimus said in are deep voice causing Galloway to turned to him before back to Nora. Nora who no longer had her sunglasses on, staring at him a sneer on her face. He quickly covered it and scoffed, "She is still not allowed on this base."

…

CRACK!

"How dare you!" Nora scream, she had punched him, making Galloway fall to the ground with a broken nose. Oh, Optimus was right, some soldiers winced as they thought that. Will tried to calm her down but with one look he back off. Even her father hesitated to interfere.

"Keep that thing away from me!"

"THING!?" Nora roared. "I'll give you thing! I'll make sure you can't ever make kids and I'll feed you to the Decepticons." Optimus now jumped into action as she went at Galloway again. He grabbed her with one hand as she screamed at him.

"Let me go Dad! Let me the frag go so I can kill 'em!" Nora yelled and punched his hand. She surprised everyone as she hit Optimus with a wrench.

"Where did she get that?" Will asked loudly. "Who gave her the wrench? Ratchet did you give her one?" Ratchet honked, saying 'no' but his frame seemed to vibrate with contained laughter.

Optimus looked down at her in worried and let on finger of his other hand slide over her back.

"Please Nora, calm down." He said. Nora calmed down and she looked up at her father, but she looked back over at Galloway with a sneer.

"If you say any bad word about my family again, I will bring you down, you son of a glitch." She hissed, pointing the wrench at him. Optimus was surprised, she had been hanging out with the Autobot and yes they cursed a lot around her but she never used Cybertronian curses.

Optimus slightly smiled down at Nora, who was now reaching to the small yellow and black mech. Optimus knelt down and let her jump of his hand, she smiled at him and walked over to Bumblebee.

Galloway noticed how Bumblebee nuzzled her and purred. "Is that her guardian?" He asked Optimus, holding his broken nose.

"No, he's my boyfriend. You got a problem with that?" She asked.

"Say no." Will whisper and Optimus shook his head as a 'no'.

"N-no." Galloway stuttered.

She smiled and nodded, and he watched and a smaller bot called her Mama and she set him on her shoulder. Nora and Bee left the hanger.

X.X Nora's POV X.X

I narrowed my eyes and watched Sam walk into a collage party with some guys. I was seated in Bee's alt-form. Dad had asked Bee and I to get Sam and to meet him somewhere as Dad needed to talk to him.

"You big idiot." I whispered and looked back at Bee's radio. "I'm going in. Mind helping me get him out if I can't?" he revved his engine making me smile. I climbed out of Bee and cautiously walked up to the party, trying to ignore the stares of guys. I shouldn't have put on his outfit.

I was wearing a dark blue dress that ended just above my knees, small black heels and a leather jacket. I was also wearing my bumblebee necklace that Bee gave me as a birthday gift last year and some bangles. I also had some eye-shadow on, a golden purple colour and a soft pink lipstick.

I only wanted to impress Bee, not the other guys who were drunk out of their minds.

"Hello, beautiful." He slurred. I looked at him disgusted, smelling the alcohol.

"Have you seen Sam Witwicky somewhere?" He rolled his eye's but pointed to where I had to go. I chose to trust this drunk guy. When I saw Sam I felt anger. There was a girl all over him. I stepped silently over to them.

"Relax. I just want to have some fun." She said.

"And I want you to back off." They sharply turned around to look at me.

"Is this your girlfriend?" Th blonde said. I just stared at her. Sam was so going to get it.

"No, my friend." He said looking at me angrily. I was hurt by what he said, but pushed it aside, I turned my gaze to him with a eyebrow up giving him a 'what the hell are you doing?' look.

"Sam you've gotta come with me." I said seriously. He shook his head and began to mutter 'no' and 'I don't want to you to be here'.

"Now!" I demanded but he just turned around. You know I can scare an alien robot, right? Well that's because they are smart. Sam? Not so much.

"Fine by me." I said and walked out he party, grinning as Bee drove up to the window letting his alarm got off. Sam ran out and looked at the car.

"Houston, we have a problem." Came through Bee's radio.

"Freshman!" I looked at the boy talking. "Is that your car in our bushes?"

"Yeah?" Sam asked the guy wearing a white shirt and had a smaller guy next to him wearing a red and black strips shirt.

"Is that your car in our bush?" The white shirted guy demanded.

"No, there's a friend of mine, he just went to get a tighter shirt." Sam was stuttering trying to get out of the situation, I let out a snort, yeah right.

"There isn't a tighter shirt! We checked." The shorter guy remarked fist bumping the guy in white, "Now how about I park my foot in your ass?"

Okay nobody talks to Sam like that and gets away with it.

"How about I shove a pole up yours?" I stepped out from behind Sam to glare at the guys they looked shocked to see me standing there threatening them, "The car's mine, got a problem?"

"Oh well no baby doll.. How about you and me in the back of your car?" this guy was staring at me with a look that made me want to puke, he started walking closer with his little follower guy, Bee revved his engine loudly in disapproval.

The guy in white stopped right in front of me, backing me up against Bee. Bee's door was opened though so I could fall in if needed.

"No, I have a boyfriend." I snorted with a glare as Bee's engine revved in warning. Did I forget mention that his holoform appeared in the diver seat?

"Oh com' on, let's have some fu-" Before he could even finish his sentence Bee's holoform shot of the drivers side, punching the guy in the face.

"You ever look at my girlfriend like that again, I'll fraggin kill you." Bee warned darkly, engine roaring, wow he's extremely sexy when he's jealous...

I wrapped my arms around his waist, half hiding myself behind him with a smirk on my face.

"Man you gotta' learn to shar-" Bee only turned around and glared at the follower to make him shut up.

Bee quickly turned me around and pushed me into the car, I quickly climbed in the back with him. Sam was in the drivers seat.

"You have a ride? Bro, why are you holding out on us?" Some guy came out the door.

"I've only know they 27 hours, besides not my car." Sam told him.

"This is gonna really change our lives. You have no idea." The guy continued as a familiar blonde caught my attention at the passenger window, Bee tensed up as she leaned in his window.

"I love Camaros." She practically purred, oh my god, not doing this.

"Go away, my car! Back off you baka!" I growled at her, Sam really knows how to start trouble jeez...

"I can't do this right now, okay?" Sam told her cause she ignored me, Bee wrapped his arms around me tighter.

"Don't be a wimp." She opened the door and got into Bee, both of us glaring at her.

Sam not wanting to argue just quickly 'took off' in reverse then shifted into drive to speed away. As we were driving I wanted to just kick this bitch in the face, I could tell Bee had the same feeling as he was really quiet, glaring at Sam through the seat.

"My first car was my dad's 92 Z28." She said out of nowhere, who the fuck cares?

"Yeah?" Sam asked glancing over at her very so often.

"The roar of the engine, it just tickles me." She smiled at Sam, lifting up her short dress even more.

"We shouldn't stare.." Wow Sam, "I mean, share stories with each other at all."

"Come on, Sam. Just one ride." Well she's bold.

"Your a cheatin' heart~" Bee sang through the radio, Sam hit him and he made a weird sound and the music changed to the Jaw's theme song.

"Don't. Don't!" Sam yelled hitting the stereo, glaring back at Bee and I. I was sitting there with my hand over my mouth trying not to laugh.

"She's a super freak, super freak She's a super freak~" Bee kept going, the girl looking at the radio with a weird look.

"Is your radio broken?" She asked.

"No, my concentration is." Obviously.

"Keep going, babe." I whispered, he silently nodded and held me closer kissing my neck passionately.

"We've not cheating. Not yet." She brushed her hair out of her face as I fought back a squeak. God dammit Bee.

Suddenly the seat she was sitting in started jerking back and forth, I nearly broke out into laughter as it stopped and she looked at Sam.

"Is something wrong here?" She questioned slowly.

Suddenly the seat flung forward and the girl's head was sent forward slamming into the dashboard.

Pfffffffffffffffff!

"God! You okay?" Sam asked as Bee started playing a song.

"Houuuuusssee~" It almost sounded like the song said 'ow'

"Ow." She said in tune with the song, making me lose it.

I started laughing so hard that my sides were hurting and Bee joined in.

X.X.X.X.X

It was morning by the time we finally stopped and we were at a cemetery. Dad was standing a bit farther back so he wasn't noticeable. When Bee stopped Sam hopped out, Bee's holoform and I quickly followed. Bee helped me climb onto of the wall, to which I sent him a smile before he deactivated his holoform.

"You won't give me a day, huh?" Sam called up to Dad, why is he being so rude? "You won't give me one day in collage?"

"I'm sorry, Sam, but the last fragment of the Allspark was stolen." Dad told Sam, did Dad seriously just apologize to Sam?

Wait the last shard was stolen? – I was right! The line wasn't safe! God dammit, this is all Galloway's fault!

"Like what? Like Decepticons stole it?" Sam asked as images started to flash across my eyes, shit!

"We placed it under human protection at your government's request, but I'm here for your help, Sam, because your leader believe we brought vengeance upon your planet. Perhaps they are right. That is why they must be reminded by another human of the trust we share." Dad's voice sounded different and with each symbol that flashed across my eyes I could hear other Cybertronian talking, it was strange I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I could hear them.

It was hard to pay attention to both the voices and the conversation going on in front of me. It actually kind of hurt my head a little, I had to stop everything from spinning.

"This isn't my war." What? How could you, Sam?

"Not yet, but I fear it soon will be. Your world must not share the same fate as Cybertron." Dad's voice was soft as he spoke, "Whole generations lost."

"I know, and I want to help, I do, but I'm not some alien ambassador, you know?" What? "I'm a normal kid with normal problems. I am where I'm supposed to be. I'm sorry. I.. I really am." How could you decline him, man I swear when Dad speaks your heart/spark is so touched. For me at least anyway.

"Sam, fate rarely call upon us at the moment of our choosing." Dad told Sam as Sam came over to me to grab me hand and drag me back to Bee, but I pulled my hand out of his reach, struggling to stay on my feet thanks to the headache and symbols.

"Your Optimus Prime. You don't need me." Sam shook his head attempting to reach for my hand again, but I pulled away quickly.

"How could you Sam? After all he's done for us, he's asking you do something so simple-" Sam cut me off.

"He's strong enough with out us. Let's go." Sam shook his head.

"No Sam. I'm helping him, He's my family. Just like the rest of the Autobots. That's what family does Sam." I took a wobbly step closer to Dad.

"Fine, do what you want. He doesn't need me." With that Sam walked back over to Bee, Bee drove a bit closer and let out a whirl.

"Go ahead Bee." I told him with a gently wave earning another whirl before he took off again, I couldn't help the upset feeling that lingered in my chest.

"We do, more then you know." Dad was talking to himself, but his statement was directed to Sam.

"I'll do whatever I can, Daddy." I said up to him as I turned to face him, oh my Primus these voices wouldn't stop.

"I thank you for that, but I fear with your involvement as well something else could happen." Dad looked down at me with a gentle look.

I looked down and flicked back holding my head, I hadn't noticed I'd dropped to my knees until Dad knelled down next to me in worry. I could barely hear him call my name, I could feel this weird bubbling in my chest. What the hell?

"My child, do not ... afra-d, I ... sorry but so-me—ing is bl-cki-ng me ou-" Primus voice had started talking but something was stopping me from being able to hear him properly. It was then I felt my head become empty almost, as if Primus' presence was not there or locked away for some reason.

Suddenly everything stopped and I could surprisingly see, hear, and move perfect again.

"Nora! What is wrong?" Dad called out at me again.

I felt like I should tell him what was going on, but something in the back of my mind was telling me not to. To say the least it was like the voices from before were telling me not to, even though they weren't there. Regardless I'll keep it to myself, I.. I think I should tell him about what happened to Primus' presence...

"I'm not sure." I told him climbing to my feet slowly, just to make sure I didn't get dizzy from getting up to quickly, "But I'm okay now."

"Are you sure?" He asked deeply, optics still filled with concern.

"Yeah, is it okay if you drop me off at Mikaela's?" I suddenly changed the conversation, luckily he wasn't prying me for answers and shifted to this conversation with ease.

"If that is what you wish." With that Dad made his was to the street and transformed, the passenger door opening to let me in which I eagerly hopped in.

Upon getting in, he was quick to take off. His holoform was activated so it didn't look fishy with a passenger and no driver. He was dressed in a causal white top with a jacket and jeans.

"Have to been experiencing what you did earlier?" He asked softly, eyes never leaving the road.

"No, that was the first time." I sighed, knowing I was going to end up telling him.

"What happened to you." He asked.

I let out another sigh and told him what I had heard and seen, he thankfully didn't interrupt me the entire time I spoke, but I did notice how his expression changed at some parts. When I finished I let him think on what I told him.

"It's very possible that the Cube is giving you information, and it's caused Primus to be pushed out for a limited time to make it easer, I'm not sure on that part, Sweetspark." Dad told me a few minutes of silence had passed.

"I know they mean something, I just don't know what." I told him, "It's kind of like a riddle"

"For now focus on what's ahead of you and don't dwell to much." He told me with a gentle smile as I moved so I was propped up against the door, my feet in his lap.

"I'll try." I sighed.

X.X.X.X.X

I didn't realize I had fallen asleep on the dive to Mikaela's until I opened my eyes to see Dad's holoform leaning over the middle seat, shaking me gently to wake me up.

"Nora. Nora, wake up." Ha called out to me shaking me a bit more finally noticing my eyes were open he continued to speak, "I just got a com from Ratchet, I'm needed back at base."

"Okay, are we-" I didn't finish my question as a yawn forced it's way out, but Dad already knew what I was asking.

"Yes, but I must leave now." Dad told me as he pulled up next to Mikaela's Dad's workshop/garage.

"Okay." I nodded to him quickly opening the door as I let out another yawn behind my hand, "I'll see you later Daddy."

"Goodbye, be safe." Dad nodded at me before I shut the door waving him off.

All of the guys that worked here at the shop already started to leave which was a good thing, that meant I didn't have to sensor everything to human stuff when I talked to Mikaela. Well that is if her Dad left yet as well.

I quickly turned and started walking into the garage, Mikky had her back turned to me she was walking over to a table with a computer on it. She didn't see me standing by the door, her father did though.

"Mikaela! You have company." He told her finally drawing her attention over to the garage doors where I stood, shocked was written all over her face as she jumped off her stool.

"Hi Mikky!" I waved to her with a smile on my face, her face went from shocked to excitement as she quickly darted over to where I was not even giving me a second to brace myself.

"Nora!" she practically shouted at the top of her lungs tackling me to the floor.

I let out a loud 'oomph' as we hit the floor roughly. With a grunt we both sat up before looking at each other and laughing. When I came back from the base I would always get greeted like this, just for the simple fact that Sam said Mikaela would never do something like it. Though I think it's a habit now.

We both got up from the floor as our giggles came to an end, both help each other up so we were standing.

She sat down on the chair by the desk while I leaned on the desk, when Mikaela's phone went off.

{Come on, check that out.}

"There you go." She mutter annoyance in her voice "Yes, Samuel?"

It was silent for a few moment before Mikky spoke again.

"I can't believe you're gonna stand me up on our first web chat date." She let Sam speak again, saying, "What- you finally hit puberty?"

I cover my mouth to stop me from laugh out loud.

She sat up straight suddenly "Since what?" I stopped laughing and watched Mikaela. "Yeah, I have it. It's in the shop safe. It's fine."

"I do!" I nearly jumped out of seat looking around, that's where my bed feeling was coming from, something obviously said something, "You're hot, but you ain't too bright. There we go. Yeah, that will work. Ooh- damn- son of a bitch! What are you looking at, slobber puss? Ah- what the... This place is a freaking house of horrors! Ooh... pain... it hurts..."

I, obviously, wasn't the only one to notice the sound of whatever it was talking, Mikaela was looking over to where the shop safe was, just like I was. Novablade shot up quickly, he was quick to change his hands into blasters. I silently got up as Mikaela whispered for Sam to hold on before she moved closer to where the noise came from. I was the closest though, thankfully not being noticed I stood close behind her. There was a bot trying to break into safe!

I quickly darted to the bot with Mikky right on my heels, I somehow managed to get a pair on tongs? in my hand, scaring the shit out of the bot making it scream bloody murder. He fell off the little pedestal he was making to climb and fell back. I took this as an opportunity to grab hold of it by it's neck and picked it up.

"Is that the best you got, huh? Is that the best you can do? Ah!" It shouted at me trying to kick me, but I just slammed it into the table.

"What are you doing here, you little freak?" Holy shit, Mikaela literally pulled out a torch from no where and torched the bots left eye!

The fuck?!

"Aaa! That's my eye, you crazy bitch!" He yelled at Mikaela.

"You gonna talk now?" She held up the torch once more.

"Ow, ow, ow! I seek knowledge from the Cube." The bot hurriedly said as he out his now dangling dead eye back into it's socket, "The Fallen demands me!"

The Fallen again?

"What knowledge?"

"You got the shard. I need the shard, gimme the shard, I need the shard, gimme the shard, they're gonna whack me! I'm gonna be dead without that shard!" He tried to push back against the table, but my hold wasn't letting up any time soon.

"Easy, warrior goddesses, I'm just a little salvage-scrap drone!" Yeah sure.

"And we're your worst nightmare." Mikaela replied moving away from me to kick a tin green box over, I quickly picked him up again and threw him in the box.

Mikky kicked the top closed while I quickly locked it, making sure he couldn't get out. Mikky grabbed her phone again, talking to Sam.

We ran out, and I grabbed the box with the bot in. We hopped on her bike, Noveblade in my pocket. Then Mikaela set off, with me holding on for dear life.
