"Turn around! I repeat turn around!" I shout through the comms. Drake keeps his foot to the floor.

"We can't just turn around. Lieutenant what is going on?" The Captain yells back.

"Yes, you can. Turn around. Unless you want to die, I suggest you turn around. You will be passing the rest of my group any minute. We were under attack. I'll write the report up when I get back. Just turn around. This field op is not gonna happen." I slam the radio down.

"Think he'll turn them around." Drake wonders.

"He better. Or they will become a pancakes from Megatron and Optimus. The other group has already turned around. Hopefully we can catch up to the rest of the group."

"And who the fuck are they? What the fuck are they? Explain!" Drake demands.

"I couldn't tell you. They are called Cybertronians from the planet Cyberton. Optimus Prime, the red and blue one, is leader of the Autobots. Megatron, the gray and purple one, is leader of the Decepticons. Literal giant metal robots that are alive."

"Why the fuck didn't you tell me? They just had some giant robot death match. We almost got squished."

"I wasn't allowed too. Dreadwing told me not too. Optimus said I couldn't. So did Agent Fowler."

"Who is Dreadwing? Agent Fowler knew?"

Before I couldn't answer. The roaring of a jet came down on us. Drake veered the Hummv off the road. The jet was close enough to touch us. As soon as the truck stopped, I jump out and look up to the skies. I recognize the royal blue belly. I whisper his name under my breath as he turns around. He flies towards us again. I really hope the other convoys have turn around at this point. I know our group is long gone. I'm okay with that. The less people to know about the Autobots and Decepticons, the better. I just wonder who saw the fight start. The jet comes to a landing in the middle of the road. Drake rushes in front of me. He's never seen Dreadwing before. The hatch opens and his human form jumps out. The helmet he was wearing is tossed to the side as he runs over to us.

"Rebecca!" He calls out.

I attempt to get around Drake, but he only pushes me behind him.

"Drake, let me go."

"Who are you?" Drake shouts at the man trying to run to me.

"Who are you? Let her go." Dreadwing growls, getting up close and personal.

"I asked first." Dreadwing is at least a half a foot taller than Drake, towering over him.

"Drake Dreadwing. Dreadwing Drake. Drake this is the guy I've been telling you about. Now please, you may step aside." I introduce.

"This is the guy? We are attacked and he somehow shows up. Are you sure he's not a stalker?"

"Yes I'm sure."

"How do I know your not with the giant metal robots back there?"

"I'm glad you can keep a secret."

"Oh no, he knows now. Just not you. Now what are you doing here?" I move around Drake, who gives me a nasty glare. "Drake please go back in the truck."

"I'm not leaving you alone with him."

"He is not going to hurt me. He has never tried to hurt me. Please. Let me talk to him before you start interrogating him." I turn my back to Dreadwing and look at Drake.

"You get five minutes." He points a finger at me, before backing away and getting inside the Hummv.

"I'm so glad your safe." Dreadwing says as he wraps his arms around me.

He's hugging me. He's holding me as close to him as possible. His arms hold my arms down, I'm unable to move, but I'm not complaining. I've been wanting to hug him for months. I've been waiting to know what it would feel like to be held by his muscular arms. Now I know and it feels great. I feel safe. I feel whole. The only problem is he's not warm, like a human should be. There is some warmth near his chest, but it's not normal. Again I will not complain. This still feels wonderful.

"I thought you said that Megatron didn't know about me." I feel something wet slide down my cheek. I realize I've begun to cry. All that has happened has finally begun to hit me.

"I thought he didn't either. Turns out Megatron had Lazerbeak follow Knockout. Or it could have been Soundwave sending him. I'm not sure. All I know it was Lazerbeak that told Megatron. Megatron had became furious. So, he had Lazerbeak find out information about you and where your stationed. Megatron will not let you live. It is to dangerous for you now. This is all my fault. I'm sorry. He will not rest until you are gone. I can't lose you too. It will be safer for you to be under the Autobots custody. They will keep you safe." He keeps his hands gripping my arms as he stares into me.

"I'm not going to let Megatron scare me into leaving my unit. I will let the Autobots stay near, but I'm not going to stop working because of it."

"You don't understand. He will kill them all to get to you. You just watched him blast all of you. I'm just glad you were able to get out of there. I tried to get here has quick as I could. He put me on a mission to get me out of the way. I can't let him get you."

"You stay and protect me." I suggest, bringing my hands up and gripping his uniform.

"I want too. You have no idea how bad I want too, but I must stay at Megatrons side. I am loyal to him. If he thinks that I let a human get to me, I may be killed. The Autobots will be able to protect you better than me anyway."

"But I don't want them to protect me. I want you. Dreadwing, I need to protect you too. We can't do it, if we aren't together." I feel like I'm professing my love to him or something. I don't think I'm in love with him, but I feel a very large connection to him. One I do not want to lose.

"After I leave, you go straight to the Autobots. Make sure you stay there. Please, I can't lose you too." He takes a step back; his hands fall to his sides.

"Please don't leave me." I cry out.

"This will not be the last time you see me." He promises, his hand coming up to make a light caress against my cheek.

I grip his hand, holding it there. I can't let him get away from me that easily. Giant robot or not, there is something there. Tears are flowing silently down my cheeks. I can't seem to stop them.

"I need to go before Megatron retreats and sees me. Go with the Autobots or let them at least be on base with you. Please I need you to be safe." He pleads, his crimson eyes staring deep into mine.

"Okay, they can cover me at base and when I go on flights, but I'm not staying at their base with them. And you will keep in contact with me. You will not stop talking to me because of this. You got that?" I let go of his hand.

"I will. I promise." He kissed me on my forehead, then I watch him leave. I watch him get back into his jet and he's gone, just like he came.

"How much of that did you hear?" I ask.

"Enough. We need to get back to base. You can explain on the way." He doesn't look at me. He walks to the other side and I walk to the passenger side.

An engine roars towards us. I look behind the truck and there's another one coming racing towards us, but just before it's about to hit us, it transforms and before me is none other than Optimus Prime. Just the man, bot, I wanted to see. Drake gets out of the driver seat and rushes over to me again. I really need to explain this to him.

"Not again." He mumbles under his breath.

"This is Optimus Prime. He's the leader of the Autobots." I say as Optimus kneels down in front of us.

"You should not be here, Rebecca."

"We got a little sidetracked. Dreadwing stopped by. He says hi by the way." I say sarcastically.

"Do you really think you should be joking with a robot that can squish you with his finger." Drake snaps, keeping his eyes on the bot.

"Don't worry he's cool."

"Why was Dreadwing here?" Optimus asks.

"To tell me to go see you. He says I need your protection."

"He is correct. Megatron will not stop looking for you. He is not happy that you have been in contact with his second in command." Optimus stands back up at full height, making Drake lean back into me.

"Optimus, I ask that you keep your bots near but not in my way. I still want to be able to work. I can't just hang out at your base all day waiting for you to finally defeat him. I will accept your protection, but under my terms."

"I will agree, only if after you get off, you come to back to our base. When you are off, you are at our base. When you fly, you let us know."

"I guess I'll have no choice. I'm sure you will make sure Agent Fowler will be on my ass about it."

"I will make sure he knows what is going on. I'm not sure how being on your ass will help. Or what a donkey has to do with this."

"It is a figure of speech Optimus. I'll teach you all about them. I'm sure those children you hang out with don't know what sarcasm and all the fun adult languages I know."

"We will worry about that later. I don't know you, but I trust you can get her back to base safely." Optimus turns to Drake, who has very wide eyes.

"Um, yes sir." Drake nods and turns to push me toward the hummv.

"See you later Optimus." I wave as I get into the truck.
