Elena was once more in Star Computer, but she wasn't doing much. She didn't feel doing much. Ever since they saved Breakdown and faced the M.E.C.H. once more, the words of Optimus were ringing in her mind. It could be possible M.E.C.H. now knows she is alive. But why haven't they started looking for her? Maybe it's because she is on dead-list. There's no bank account because Agent Fowler brings her benefit in cash. Plus she has avoided getting into hospitals. Plus M.E.C.H. probably is looking for her old name Elena Rodriquez. She is now Elena Star. Well, even so, it's better to be careful. Knowing how they work, they could find her one way or another. Unless they are way busy on finding ways to catch any Cybertronian.

Elena was still in her thoughts until Arcee came back by the ground bridge. She sighs after she transformed back and looked bit irritated.

"Something wrong?" asked Elena and came bit closer to listen.

"We got bit problem with Jack's mother," said Arcee.

"Mrs. Darby? Did she see you?" asked Elena bit worried.

"No," said Arcee. complaints from Jack's boss and teacher and because of that, he has to use bike two weeks and If I'm not in the garage before she gets back, he will be in trouble."

"That sounds like been grounded," said Elena. "I thought you get him home in time? Or have you been extra driving?"

Arcee didn't answer that. Everyone has been bit occupied. Elena sighs on that. Extra drive or not, Jack was now so-called grounded and Arcee has been at the time in her place.

"If you want, I could help you."

"We can handle it," said Arcee. "She is working at the hospital and she works late, mostly."

"Mostly, isn't same like always," said Elena. "I could talk, so it won't be a problem ongoing in missions."

"We can handle it. End of the case," said Arcee and leaves.

"You know, she is also a mother. It's natural, that she is so worried," yelled Elena after her. But there wasn't any answer. She didn't mind of that. Plus, to be honest, Elena has once met her couple weeks ago.

Elena was carrying many things after long shopping. Most of them were for Autobots, but there was some for her. Like food, soap, shampoo and other stuff. She was going on to the road when she saw one car on walk side. There was a woman, who had a problem with her car. By how it looks, Tire was damage and need to switch.

"Excuse me, Do you need help?" asked Elena.

"No, I'm fine. I just had to get this out and change it." said woman.

Elena looks on the car. By how it looks there's no extra tire. "You don't seem to have another tire to replace."

The woman looks on the back, no, there wasn't. "Oh great," she said and rubs her head.

"I can fix that for you," said Elena. She removed the tire to check where to hole was. Once she found it, she took rubber from her shopping bags. Then she took lighter, which she had brought and with it melt the rubber on the tire. "Do you have an air pump in the car?" she asked. The woman nodded and went to get it. Once Elena filled the tire with air, she put it back to its place.

"That should hold it until you get to change it," said Elena.

"Thank you," said Woman. "How you learn that?"

"I work a lot with cars, Mrs..."

"Darby."

"Darby?" asked Elena. "Any relative to Jack Darby?"

"He is my son." she said. "do you know him?"

"I have visited the drive in," said Elena. "And... my friend gave him the motorcycle."

"The motorcycle?"

Oh, scrap. It's best to invent something and fast. "Yeah. He...came once into our 'workshop' and he saw it. And we agree that he can have it if he takes good care of it and won't go showing off with it."

"Well, he has been out most of the time." admits.

"Well, he has come visit our workshop, so he could... learn some hints how to fix the motorcycle by himself," said Elena.

"Oh I see..." she said bit relieved before she entered to her car. "Thank you again, Ms...?"

"Elena Star, ma'am."

"That's a sweet name. Mine is June."

"June? like a middle of Spring and summer, that nice," said Elena and smiled.

After that June Darby went to her work and Elena stood there to watch how car disappeared into traffic.

By how it looks to Elena, June Darby was just like any other mother would be. Worried about her child, especially teen. Well, she never had her own mother, because she died, when she was a baby. But her father took good care of her too. Maybe it could best to tell her truth. Well, the thing is she might not believe it. Who would believe that they're giant living robots, from another planet in the earth? Well, for Elena it was bit surprised, but not everyone could take it so calmly. She stayed thinking while how to deal with this.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" heard a voice of Optimus from the door. Elena checks the clock. It was too late already.

"Oh sorry." she saves all the work she had opened and put the computer into sleep mode. She never shut down or turn off the Star Computer. She feared it could affect it. Optimus came pick her up and they left to their rooms.

Next day Elena was once more working on Star computer looking for anything that needs to check. Energon mine, Cybertron's history, Star history, etc. She didn't know why, but she once more had some kind feeling. Something like something is going to happen. It didn't feel so bad or good, it felt so neutral. Like it's still unknown, but on the way. Well, to be honest, there's is many things to going on. Megatron is back, planning who knows what. There's also this Airachnid, who sounds to be a predator or something like that. Well, what she got that she is Decepticon, but she is working solo now. Yeah, it could be best to look her moves. She could be a threat to humans. Probably is best not to meet her. And then there's is M.E.C.H. Who is also up to something.

Elena keeps working when Arcee needed a lift to base and back Jack's house. This won't end well. After Arcee got there and went through ground bridge, Elena put communication on, so she could hear was everything okay. Well, everything didn't sound to be okay. Arcee came a bit too late that found empty garage before Jack came and then Arcee was there. Then there was more talking and...Oh okay, this isn't looking well.

As much it was so close, this can't go on like this. Once Jack went back to work, Elena made contact.

"Are you guys sure you don't need help?" called Elena.

"Elena, How much you heard?" heard a voice of Arcee from another side.

"Pretty much everything."

"And you think you can help?"

"Well, I can invent many things then "Fiction" club. Plus, I already met her couple of weeks ago."

"What? What did you say?".

"That my friend was that one who gave the motorcycle."

"Friend?" asked Arcee.

"Well, what else I would have said? Big sister? Mother? My dad girlfriend?"

"Elena!"

"Okay, fine. You want me to help or not?"

"No thank you." said both.

Elena sighs and turns off the com-link. Since they don't like to ask, she has to do it.

In the night-time, Elena was passing by the hospital. After hacking some database she found where worked. she got there, right when she was leaving.

"Mrs. Darby?" called Elena.

June turns to look who called and saw Elena.

"Ms. Star? What brings you here?"

"Um... passing by. I saw Jack riding the bike. Is he grounded or something?"

"How you?"

"I had a big brother and he sure got into trouble more than once. Using a bike instead of car or motorcycle, obviously grounded."

"Well, yes. He is. It's best for him."

"I know. That's what father told my brother many times. And I understand if he can't use the motorcycle. I just thought if it would help if I could take the motorcycle to our workshop, so he won't use it until everything is all clear." June stood to look on Elena. "Look, when we agreed to give it to him, it wasn't supposed to get him into problems with work and school. Plus, that motorcycle is dear to me."

"Dear?"

"I work with a lot of vehicles and that motorcycle is one of my favorites," said Elena. Okay, she should try to learn some cover talking. If that is one the things Stars know. "Some of them are like family members to me."

"Maybe you're right." said June while they start to walk to her car. "maybe I'm also hard on him. But those lies..."

"Wow, what lies...?" asked Elena.

Right then one car came near them and its door opened. there was two man and one had a gun. Elena realized by their disguise who there were and went front of June to protect her, but right then she got shot and everything black out.

Elena woke up in a dark room tied up on a chair. She tried to get up, but it was useless. Then she heard someone enter. First came two men from M.E.C.H. with guns pointing at her. Then came Silas. Seeing him face to face was enough to make her angry, but she knew is best not let him knew it.

"Ms. Rodriquez, didn't expect to see you again," said Silas.

"Funny. I was going to say that," said Elena and crossed her legs, since they weren't tied to a chair. "But I'm not Rodriquez anymore."

"Married?"

"Please, do you see a ring on my finger? I don't think so," said Elena. "Plus, who would like a girl with a metal face, arm, and leg?"

"And you choose to live among the Titans," said Silas. Elena looks away. If they are going to get any information, it will happen over her dead body.

"I'm not going on tell anything. And if you try to experiment me, you'll have to do it over my dead body."

"Who talked about experiments?" said Silas. "Thing is, you just happened to be in the way like it was with your father."

In way? They weren't after her. But then who? Wait a sec. Where's June?

"What you want from Mrs. Darby?" asked Elena.

"It's very simple, my dear." heard a female voice. "The Bait." Then Elena notices someone come down from the roof. Thanks to old memories of SweetStar, Elena could guess who it was.

"I guess you must be Airachnid," said Elena.

"You know me. I'm flattered," said Airachnid while getting closer to her. "I'm surprised she even told you about me."

"If you mean Arcee, then no. She didn't. I heard it by one who bit one of your legs." said Elena.

"That dog?"

"It's a Wolf. There's a difference," said Elena. Speaking of Silver, there could be a possibility that she is taking a nap and get all this and found her. She just needs more time. "Who you're trying even bait?"

"You should know it already," said Airachnid. "For Arcee and her human friend."

"And what it's for them?" asked Elena meaning M.E.C.H.

"The remains of Arcee, once I'm done with her."

"You do know there won't be nothing left when she is through. Cons left a really bad mess," said Elena to Silas and to his man. This could help put some crossfire on them.

Soon one of the man's came to tell something to Silas.

"They're here," said Silas. "Get ready."

"Hey! I'm not done with you...Ah!" yelled Elena and tried to get up, but fall down with the chair.

"Don't worry, dear," said Airachnid, while two men of M.E.C.H. pick Elena up. "You won't miss a thing. I'll let Arcee know you're here, while I kill her."

Elena tried to get up and get her hands on Airachnid, but she couldn't. She was turned to the monitor, where she could see how Arcee and Jack came. Elena tried looked well, where they were. By how it looks they're in some old cargo storage. It could help tell something.

Soon there was cold breath in the room. The guards didn't seem to notice it since the door was open. But Elena knew it wasn't the wind. That what's comes when Silver uses cold air to move up. So, that means Silver is here, up on the roof waiting the chance to strike.

"Is there any chance to change the channel for this?" asked Elena sarcastically. The guards didn't seem to have humor because they hold their guns at her. Right then Silver land on them in which they got a knockout.

"Well done, Silver," said Elena, while Silver came to release her. After she got up. She made sure the guys were truly out and took one of their guns. They went out from one storage to look where to. Elena had to use her arm-pad to hack into their system to see where they kept June. By how it looks she was tied up somewhere up. But then Silver points up into one storage where was light. That means M.E.C.H. could be there.

They went to peek what was there. M.E.C.H. was there, but so was Arcee unconscious. And by how things look they're planning to open her up.

"Well, looks like they took my words on Airachnid," whispered Elena to Silver, who just rolled her optics.

Elena tried to think what to do. Should she use the gun, but it could hurt Arcee. Ultramagnetic pulse? It could work, but then she won't be able to move. And what about Jack and June. They might be in trouble.

"Silver, go find Jack and help him to free his mother. You know where to bite," she said to Silver. Silver nodded and went to look for Jack, while Elena tried to figure out what to do with M.E.C.H. and save Arcee.

Elena tried to look how to solve this until she notices that Arcee was waking up. But right then They manage to remove the web from her and were about to drill into her chest. 'Oh no, you don't...' thought Elena and aim the machine, while Arcee star fight to get up. Right then M.E.C.H. starts to shoot, but Elena manages to put force shield to protect them, while Arcee transformed and took both of them out.

"What are you doing here?" asked Arcee.

"Sight-seen. I was captured too DUH." said Elena. "They got me with Mrs. Darby."

"You went talk to her."

"Well, Duh. Can we talk this later?"

They headed where Airachnid was. Arcee speeds up fast to get at her. Elena had to jump off to help Jack to get her mother out there.

"Ms. Star, what is...?" tried to ask June.

"Later!" yelled Elena and tried to remove web of her. But then platform got hit and Jack had moved up. Elena and Silver were hanging on to June. But when Airchanid came to them Silver jumps to her face to distract her, while Arcee beat her.

"GO GIRL!" yelled Elena.

"You know them?" asked June.

"Later!" repeat Elena and keep trying to remove the web. Silver tried to come to help but got stuck between the iron bars.

"Silver!" Yelled Elena and tried to go help her, but got stuck in the web. She tried to get off, but that wouldn't be a good idea because she could fall. Arcee tried to help, But Airchanid got by her web and get her down, even if she was covered by cement.

Right, then agent Fowler came. Even if M.E.C.H. took Jack's cell phone, he took one of theirs to make contact. Fowler and his man keep firing on Airachnid, but only manage to get dry cement off from her and she manages to copy data on their helicopter to transform.

"Oh, now she does it!" said Elena.

Airachnid leaves the place, while Arcee yelled after her. and meanwhile, M.E.C.H. left too.

Once soldiers got June and Elena down, Elena went check on Silver and Arcee. Arcee was a bit disappointed that Airachnid got away. And Elena understood that. Then they went together to Jack and June. June was bit confused all that had happened, but she was thankful for Arcee. Then she looked on Elena.

"So, when you said she was dear to you..."

"She is my family," said Elena. "They all are," she said and looked both Arcee and Silver.
