Third Person Perspective

>~<•>~<

"Ok, time to steal from a museum." Jack sighed, sounding like he really didn't want to do this. (Y/n) smiled slightly, trying not to laugh. She was also trying not to laugh because she knew he felt uncomfortable breaking laws and such, considering he was a well behaved teen with a strict mom.

"Yup!" Miko said, elbowing him. (Y/n) looked over to them and smiled. She turned back to Percy and kissed him gently on the forehead.

"I'll be right back okay?" She assured with a soothing voice. Percy wasn't worried though, he knew his sister was tough, but he loved the affection nonetheless. He giggled and nodded.

"Okay, sissy." (Y/n) smiled and rose up. Her and the other three went to the groundbridge with the bots. The bots went through the first portal, then they went through the second.

(Y/n) was scared at first to go through the portal, a small discomfort inside her after going through. Though, she didn't have another thought about it as she was wowed at finding herself in a museum. She teleported. This was insane to her, probably one of the coolest things ever. This gave her an idea...

"Opah..." Miko said suddenly. Optimus flashed his headlights and suddenly they were raising up to the security camera. She then took an upside down photo of the statue and hung her phone on the camera.

'Smart...' (Y/n) thought as they then went over to get the energon harvester. As they were moving it onto the moving platform, a loud irritating noise came from outside. Then the sound of cracking glass filled the soundless room. The 4 turned to see Optimus transformed and looking at them, behind him, kind of hiding to the side, Knockout.

A soft gasp escaped (Y/n)'s lips as Optimus was suddenly electrocuted by some rod thing. She was shocked. (Y/n) then watched as he stumbled and fell. The con jumped on his back and now all three were staring along with her.

"It's cons..." Raf announced in a shaky voice.

"And they've got Optimus." Jack replied, wide eyed. (Y/n) bit her tongue and looked away.

"Get back to the mission at hand..." She whispered snappily. The two nodded and got back to it. Miko still staring, making the others look back. Two explosions were heard from the parking lot.

One thing happened and then Bulkhead got thrown back and domino effect and Knockout hit a pillar and the glass— SHATTERED. The alarm was ringing and Raf, Jack and (Y/n) finally got the harvester on the cart. They went down and Miko got off to run ahead, (Y/n) decided she would as well to keep an eye on Miko.

Once that gate opened, (Y/n) was about to turn when she saw the guard and put her hand up to tell the boys to stop moving. She bit her lip as she watched Miko get taken away.

"Not good..." Jack muttered. Two legs were soon seen from the open crack of the garage door. "Arcee!" He said, the three now jogging over to meet their Autobot friend. (Y/n) froze like a deer in headlights once more as she saw that it was not who they thought it was.

"N-not Arcee..." She stuttered, taking a step back.

"It's Soundwave!" Raf gulped. The three helplessly watched as Soundwave took the harvester and flew away. (Y/n) felt an anger inside of her while the other two just seemed relieved to still be alive. The three then ran out.

(Y/n) somehow felt this was her fault. She was supposed to be an adult and yet now one of her friend's is taken by security. They were soon outside and her thought deafened ears somehow heard Raf shout to the bots.

"And security has Miko!"

"What?! I'm going in after her!" Bulkhead said with a snarl on his dermas.

"Bulkhead. Miko May be detained but she is safe from harm." (Y/n) looked between them, an internal cry saying that it wasn't okay that she was there. "Ratchet, send us a groundbridge."

A frown fell upon (Y/n)'s lips as she got into Optimus' passenger seat and they drove through the bridge.

"Are you alright?" Optimus asked as they drove through.

"Yes, I'm fine, just not happy about Miko getting caught, but she'll be fine." (Y/n) replied with a small shake of her head and a sigh. She got out once they arrived and went up to the platform once more to be with Percy.

Optimus soon sent the others off with a notion of caution. (Y/n) then watched as he went through the groundbridge. She noticed a small shift of his rear view mirror before he disappeared in the sea of green and blue.

Agent Fowler's voice rung out through the base as the call was sent to voicemail once more. Bulkhead was upset, Jack had a worried look, and Percy was hovering over Raf while sitting on (Y/n)'s lap.

"Bulkhead I needed that!" Ratchet yelled after a loud crunch was heard throughout the base.

"We could free Miko! If we could just return the harvester to the museum!" Bulkhead said, desperation in his voice.

"So the Decepticons can just steal it all over again?" Ratchet asked, sass in his voice. Bulkhead had a troubled look in his optics.

"I am so dumb!" He vented.

"So how are we going to help Miko?" Jack asked, hearing this, (Y/n) looked over to watch and listen.

"By returning this replica to the museum. The construction of which would be going a lot faster if Bulkhead hadn't just mangled my frame welder!" Ratchet yelled, clearly upset.

"We're already trespassers and thieves, why not add forgery to the list!" Jack replied sarcastically. (Y/n) tried once more not to laugh.

"I wish I'd never taken Miko to the— the painting of the harvester isn't the only thing we found at those ruins!" Bulkhead said, clearly a lightbulb had gone off.

"I'm sorry?" Ratchet questioned.

"Starscream's not dumb! No matter what kind of tool he has, he's going to take the easy route." Bulkhead exclaimed. He then took a bridge back to the ruins.

(Y/n) felt slightly better and continued using Raf's computer to try and contact Fowler. Percy looked at the groundbridge in curiosity, but kept to himself. He peeked once more when he saw all the autobots return through the bridge. Though, just as soon as they came, they left.

And a bonus: Raf and (Y/n) finally got through to Agent Fowler. Both of them, and Ratchet updated him in what had happened. Fowler seemed upset, but said he'd be over as soon as possible to help.

"Easy Bulkhead." Optimus comforted as he helped him through the groundbridge, Bumblebee on his other side. Before (Y/n) could even ask, Arcee responded to her unasked question.

"He got a little drained from the energon harvester." Percy went over to (Y/n), looking a little upset and she picked him up.

"Is he going to be ok...?" Percy whispered to (Y/n).

"Of course he is..." She whispered back as she watched Optimus set Bulkhead onto the medical berth.

"You three should return home. We will have everything figured out by the time you return tomorrow. (Y/n). Percy." Optimus addressed. (Y/n) nodded and said goodnight to everyone before going down and buckling Percy into the passenger seat, then going into the driver's seat herself.

They left base and (Y/n) quickly fell asleep, leaned against Optimus' door. He didn't mind, though he was surprised she'd fall asleep so quickly.

"Is (Y/n) alright?" Optimus asked Percy in a gentle voice. Percy perked and looked at the radio.

"She's okay. Just tired." Percy said with a small smile.

"I meant with what's happened today. Or even with us in general." Optimus replied.

"Sissy just cares too much. She's fine, maybe a wittle upset, b-but... in all honwesty... I've never seen her happier." Optimus paused at Percy's words, surprised.

"Pardon?" He further questions. Percy frowns and scratches his head.

"W-well... (Y/n) isn't very happy... th-the only time she seems happy I-is when I'm happy... S-so I try to be happy for the both of us!" Percy exclaimed loudly with a smile, but it faltered slightly. "B-but since you guys came around... her mood seems to have bwightened... she's happier. Sissy's bad emotions are easy to sense, b-but she is happier now than she was before..."

"You are a wonderful little brother, Percy." Optimus said, a softness in his voice. He was shocked to even hear that from her little brother who he thought was blind to all the negative energy radiating off of (Y/n). A small feeling inside of him was happy to hear that they've made her happier, but he still knew she wasn't happy.

Optimus felt helpless and useless in this. He knew he shouldn't be focusing on this, he was at war for Primus' sake, but he just loathed knowing (Y/n) was upset. He wanted to help her feel better.
