We walked into the hangar type building...well...they walked, I clung onto Sam while hobbling along after Mearing. A thought entered my head and I smirked. "What do you think Carly wound say if she saw me clinging all over you?"

Sam looked over at me looking exhausted...I didn't pity him, we were all tired. "Uh..well...I would assume that if she saw that you were injured she wouldn't mind?"

"It's all an act if you ask me..." I muttered looking away, nodding silently.

"Sorry?" Sam asked looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. "I didn't hear you."

"You weren't supposed to." I smiled, patting his head before looking forward after I heard an all too well known voice.

"Well, well, well. Charlotte Mearing." Simmons said rolling up on his electric wheelchair or whatever you called that. A scooter meant more for old people. I always knew Simmons was a old coot.

"Agent Simmons. Former Agent Simmons. So. I see you survived Washington." Mearing greeted oh so nicely as always.

"Washington, Egypt, heartbreak. I survive. I will survive. They're bringing everybody in, kids." He looked at Sam and I before circling Mearing. "Putting all the intel on the table. And if you think deporting nine Autobots is gonna solve a damn thing-"

"It's out of my hands." She cut him off before walking off, we all of course, followed after her.

After a bit of walking, rolling and hobbling Simmons decided he had enough of the view he's been having do decided to share it with everyone else. "Moving up in the world, huh? Your booty looks excel-launt."

He was put to a stop when Mearing aropped walking and turned to him. "You ever say a word to anyone about what happened that night in Quantico, I'll cut your heart out." She threatened.

"You already did." He whispered to her.

I gagged. "Okay...we should get-"

"Sammy, listen to me. Don't let them exile us." Wheelie begged from a cage. I blinked and looked over at them as well.

"Don't let them take us, Ellie." Brains added.

"It's a Decepticon trap." Wheelie continued, glancing at me then at Sam before they were both taken away.

"Ellie....I told you earlier...that I trusted you and your judgement...should I continue to?" Sam asked him, watching them.

"Of course Sam!" I spun to face him. "I know what I'm doing...I've stopped a lot so far haven't I?"

"Yes...but you also let a lot to happen...I'm done with this." He turned to me. "I want this over."

"And it will be....one day."

--------------------------------------------------

The road seemed long.....endless. I looked out the window then shifted to look behind us. Bumblebee directly behind us with the others behind him. I sighed...I knew Sam was going to be pissed off at me once he sees me not stop the ship from getting blown up with the Autobots supposedly inside. Not like I could stop it anyway...

I looked forward again just as the SUVs rolled to a stop, Sam getting out and soon helping me out. So nice. Sometimes. Others he plain terrible.

He helped me hobble over to where Optimus was waiting for us. The Wreckers setting everything up as we said our goodbyes.

"Check the nitrogen levels. We're booking out of here." Leadfoot told the others.

"Optimus?" Sam asked as we finally approached him, me grabbing the railing letting them talk.

"What your leaders say is true." Optimus said simply, looking up at the sky.

"Aye." Que sighed before walking toward the ship.

"This was all my fault. I told them whom to trust. I...was so wrong." Optimus told us. I shook my head silently. It wasn't his fault...he didn't know Sentinel was going to betray them.

"That doesn't make it your fault. It just makes you human for a change." Sam paced in front of him with talking, looking nervous as hell...then again I would be too. I glanced at the 'watch' on his wrist.

"Remember this. You may lose your faith in us, but never in yourselves." Optimus spoke the chilling line that I whispered along with him because I couldn't help it.
Oh...how wrong he was.

As Optimus began to walk away Sam started making these odd sounds, gripping his wrist in pain. He took a few seconds before calling up at the big blue and red bot. "I need to know how you're gonna fight back. I know this is strategy, I know you're...you're coming back with reinforcements, something, I know there's a plan." He paused, looking back at the men and woman by the SUVs before back up at Optimus. "You can tell me. No other human will ever know." I instantly caught the real meaning of his words...Optimus obviously did too.

"There is no plan."

"If we just do what they want, how are we gonna live with ourselves?" Sam asked him seemingly frantic.

Optimus bent down slightly before speaking. "You are my friend, Sam. You always will be..but your leaders have spoken. From here, the fight will be your own." He stood straight before turning away, glancing over at me.

I smiled and waved up at him.....adding a quick wink to show him that I knew exactly what they had planned. He vented before walking off toward the ship.

"All right, hustle up! We launchin' at dawn." One of the Wreckers called out...I wasn't paying attention, I was watching the young yellow bot walk over toward Sam.

Bumblebee bent down to speak to Sam better before voices from the radio sounded. "We're gonna do whatever we can. Make it like it was. You will always be my friend, Sam. I gotta be going on." Tears came to my eyes as I watched them...as much as I disliked Sam...seeing him cry was saddening. Especially as you're watching him and his guardian of years...his first car...say goodbye.

I watched sadly as Bee stood up, met my eyes with his baby blue optics, waved all before looking back at Sam and walking away.

Sam came over to where I was and knelt down while holding onto the railing and started crying. I sighed, patting his head, hearing Simmons roll over annoyingly louder than necessary as I watched the Autobots. I happened to notice the cat bot trotting around under the ship beside Ironhide before I heard Simmons speak.

"Years from now, they're gonna ask us. 'Where were you when they took over the planet?' We're gonna say, we just stood by and watched."

"Like hell I am." I growled.

A/N: YAY! I did it! I was worried I wouldn't have been able to write them as I said I would but...here you go! Hopefully you guys enjoy it!
Thank you SO much for all the patience you've given me. Wifi was out and we moved but now I'm back but I can't promise when I'll update. I'll try to do it often but again, I can't promise.
