×Chapter 11×
After 15 minutes of Ratchet checking my physical health to ensure I was fully okay before debreifing me.
Ratchet had finally allowed me to leave the medical room as long as I had Ron- I mean Ironhide and Will to keep an eye on me on the way.
I acted calm on the surface, but deep down I was panicking trying to find a way out of this damn place.
"Okay. Just in here Hazel" Ironhide informed me while William had walked inside the rec-room to prepare the Autobots for our meeting.
To be honest I was shitting myself.
Walking in the room reluctantly, I looked around for Ironhides holoform to sizzle off and left me standing there alone. Which was so not helpful.
I gulped and try to casually look around, my eyes spotting a line of many different type of vehicles that were clearly not general military vehicles.
My brown eyes caught onto the familiar black topkick; where I thought was just Ron's truck, but turned out to be a living specie's that IS Ron-I mean Ironhide. God, this is confusing.
"Hazel!" A pair of familiar voices yelled towards me, making me spin around a little to fast.
I was met in a bone-crushing group hug by Aneska and Nathan. We all let go of each over and took a step back. I let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Man, Don't scare me like that!" Aneska scolded, putting a hand over her chest where her heart would be.
Nathan faintly smiled at me. "Good to sse you Hazel." It was obvious he was in pain. Green eyes displaying the emotion clear as day. Bandages were wrapped around his stomach and head, guilt ran through me instantly.
"I'm sorry-" They cut me off. "For what? it wasn't your fault Hazel, We were in it as a team!" Aneska stated with pride and loyalty, Nathan nodded in agreement. This made me smile at the pair and nod slowly, it helped, but the guilt still remained.
"Sorry to break up the reunion, but we have business to discuss" William spoke up where he stood next to a man with the name-tag of 'Epps'.
I nodded while facing William, but froze hearing metal steps behind me. "Oh shit" Aneska automatically cursed out loud, gaining an amused look from Epps. The raven haired girl looked straight up at the source of the loud steps.
Nathan and I followed her gaze instantly. My heart leaped out my throat, there stood a red and blue robot who was obviously the leader they called Optimus Prime.
The prime stared down at us with a soft gaze, obviously trying to not intiminate us too much. It barely eased my emotions.
"This is Optimus Prime" William happily introduced Optimus, proud of working with the Autobot. "Prime is leader of the Autobots"
"Autobots" I heard Nathan whisper lowly next to me. Obviously just as startled as me. I started to sweat, clenching and unclenching my hands.
I really didn't want to have a panic attack, but my body was so not agreeing with me.
Optimus blinked slowly while kneeling before us, perhaps to make himself to appear slower. "It is a pleasure to meet you Hazel Lennox, Aneska Ventian and Nathan Stewart."
I fought back a pathetic scream even as my legs shook furiously from my fears. Pale hands trembling while my fingers fiddled anxiously at my jumpers zipper.
Aneska placed a hand on my shoulder when she noticed, looking at me with a worried look. "I think you need to sit." she whispered quietly, nodding to a chair.
I nodded and fell backwards, not even bothering to move to the chair, knowing my legs would just give up on me. I landed hard on the ground, before sitting cross-legged and remained deadly quiet.
Optimus did some type of mechanical sigh at this, obviously not happy of my fears towards them. The Prime stood his full height once again and gestured to the other vehicles. "I shall introduce you to my team."
One-by-one they all transformed, all different shapes and sizes. Aneska and Nathan slowly joined me on the floor. I think this was all too much for us three, especially after the near-death situation in Mission City.
Optimus cleared his throat in some weird way. "My first in command; Jazz"
"Yo! What is up!" Jazz hyperly gretted himself, his visor glowing a bright blu as he did so. The mech held a bright smile on his face-plates.
Aneska instantly focused on the silver bots hyper energy. Good and positive vibes already leaking off the bot.
"My scout; Bumblebee. He is Samuel Witwicky's guardian" Bumblebee did a whirl and a couple of beeps. This is where they explained about his voice-box situation.
We had nodded slowly understanding. I then looked at Samuel and his girlfriend; Mikaela Banes, stood nearby Bumblebee and waved at us. We all did a small wave back for a simple greeting.
"My Medical Officer; Ratchet. Whom I assume you three have already met, but in holo-form." Ratchet did a simple nod at us and crossed his metal arms over his chassis. "Greetings."
Optimus continued. "My Weapon Specialist; Ironhide. Where he is your families Guardian Hazel".
"Feeling Lucky Punks!" Ironhide threatened, to twirl his cannons at us that glowed a bright gold and blue aura.
"Easy Ironhide" Optimus ordered when he noticed my face going pale with Aneskas and Nathan just stared in shock.
One by One; Optimus introduced his team members. Second-by-Second it all slowly clicked together and made sense.
The Autobots saved our home planet, but lost their's in return. The Decepticons had killed my family and a lot of others as well, but in the end; I couldn't get my head around it.
It was too much to handle. I felt like curling up in a ball and crying, but no, I did not. I just sat there expressionless allowing this all to slowly, very slowly, sink in.
Finally having courage to speak up, I ask a simple, but important, question. "Will Nathan and Aneska have guardians?"
Optimus did some type of mechanical hum, before nodding his helm. "Yes, as the Decepticons are still out there and can endanger your friend's safety." Optimus seriously stated, before facing Aneska and Nathan. Where their jaws were slack in shock and surprise.
"Aneska; your guardian shall be Jazz", Aneska slowly smiled and slightly waved back at the small silver bot. Jazz fluttered his digits back at her in a type of wave in return.
"Nathan; your guardian shall be Arcee" Nathan awkwardly nodded and forced a small smile at the femme Autobot who saluted at him.
Slowly getting to my feet, I could the whole introduction was going to an end. Thank goodness.
I brushed the dust and dirt off my clothes, before freezing hearing what seemed to be an explosion outside. Fear lit up in my eyes instantly.
Everyone froze in alert and tensed, waiting for intel on the situation, before planning any orders. A few seconds passed until Ironhide groaned with Ratchet.
"Terror Twins."
