It was an ordinary day in Jasper Nevada. On the street full of shops one young woman about 20 or so is in one them. But on one, you don't expect to find a woman. In hardware store. She has brown hair in a ponytail and brown eyes. Pink blouse, jeans, and white shoes. She was now in oil section looking for certain oils.

The Store owner, sweet old man has got used to her coming many times in past three years.

"Looking for something, Miss?" he asked.

"Don't you have smooth gear oil anymore?" she asked.

"Sorry, sold out. Next cargo comes next week." answered the owner. "For which car is it?" For what it looked for owner she comes to buy many things for different cars. Maybe her family fix cars for a living or has few cars.

"A truck," she said while she picks another oil can and comes to the counter.

"Wooeee! A truck? Man, I hardly meet any pretty gals who are into cars." said the owner while start to count the items. "More screw-nuts, huh?"

"We need to meltdown some of them for certain things."

"You have quite a family,"

"You could say that," she answered. Right, then her phone rings and she picks it. "Elena... Silver?... What's wrong?...Oh... W-why I wasn't informed... I-I see...And... where is she?... okay... thanks for telling me. Bye." she finishes the call while looking so sad.

"Something wrong, ?" asked the owner.

"Nothing. there... was... accident. How much is it?" After paying, she leaves the store with her shopping.

Elena Star was once known as Elena Rodriquez before she was saved by Autobots. She had lost one arm, leg, and eyes. Her left side of her face was burned, so she is now Cyborg made by parts of one called PeaceStar, who died two years ago to save her life. Ever since she changed her last name to Star.

Right now she got a message that one of the Autobots, Cliffjumper was lost. He was like her big brother. but now he was gone too. Cold Irony. She dialogues number to her phone to call someone. The line got open, but no one didn't answer, yet.

"Arcee, I know you can hear me," she said to the phone. "I heard, about Cliffjumper. And I know I can't say 'I'm sorry for your loss' It doesn't suit well. I wish to talk to you. You know since I have lost dear ones too, but of course, their probably nothing compared to yours..."

"I hope you're not going to use that line often." heard a female voice from another side of the phone.

"Well, It works," said Elena jokingly.

"Fine. Where are you?"

"I'm near that drive-in restaurant. I'll go pick a milkshake. Meet me there."

"Okay. See ya."

"See yaaAAAAH!" she yelled when one car from pick up almost drives on her. "WATCH IT JERK!" she yells to the driver and kick the car with her left leg in which car's front gets very nice hit. Whoever was inside driving may have stayed eyes and mouth wide open. Elena then walks to the driver's side and looks inside.

"Making fun and leaving without paying?" she asked. The guys were still eyes and mouth wide open. Hard to say was it still because of the hit she gave to the car or that she knew what they were up to. She picks the lunch bags and walks to the burger restaurant.

Inside she went to the counter and meet a young boy.

"I think they weren't hungry," she said and put the bags to counter.

"Wow...Thanks," he said.

"I may take one with me. Plus large strawberry milkshake," she said.

"Okay," he said and went prepare it. "How you knew they didn't pay?"

"I have seen them pull it many times. And this time, they almost drive over me," she said, while she got the milkshake and paid for them. "Have a good day, Mr...?"

"Darby. Jack Darby."

Elena left to the outside, when she see Arcee coming, but stop front of her. She was about say something when she notices the two vehicles. By their color, she could see what they were. Decepticons. Elena takes some milkshake before she passes and it's like talking to the driver of the motorcycle.

"I'll go check. I'll come back when it's clear," she said. Elena keeps walking away from the motorcycle while the driver vanishes and motorcycle stayed there.

Elena walk bit further to see if they went. By her optics under the hologram, she manages to see a bit further. No sight for now. She was going back when she notices them. They seem to look one direction. The drive in.

"Scrap." she runs there only then the vehicles moved forward and motorcycle got away with a boy. It was that Jack Darby guy. "Double Scrap!"

Elena had no choice but run to the corner where no one would see and use com-link. "Bumblebee! Bulkhead! We got twins! HURRY!". Then she picks something that turns into skateboard with blasters. She got onto it and followed them.

It took some time before she sees Bumblebee and gets inside him. She put all the shopping aside, while she put a seatbelt on. In these rides, you need to secure for sure. And for a reason. They manage to mislead them a bit, but they got away.

"COME ON BEE! GET THEM! Arcee has a human with her." she yelled. That was enough to pull more speed.

They got them to realize they have jumped to the side.

"Bee. Don't you dare..." said Elena. He dared. He jumps off and transformed, while Elena screamed for her life. Then she grabs on his neck while he starts to fight. Once done, he tried to take her from him, before he realized he had stepped on to the toy car and said sorry.

"No problem. Really..." said a young boy with glasses.

Right, then Elena notice this. But right then one the Con got up and blast Bumblebee. In this Elena get off and landed near Bumblebee. She had to back off before she heard someone yell.

"Leave him alone!"

She looks who did it to realize it was the young boy with glasses. "Oh no..." she said.

"Please?"

"Bad call."

When one of Cons was going after them. Elena had to take off her hologram look to use magnetism to hold it back.

"RUN!" she yelled to the boys.

She tried hold best she could, but like usual for a big robot, she either get stuck with it or she starts to follow behind. Fine, let's try another way. From the front. She runs to the front of the robot and then she was pushed back to the sewer where the boys have gone. Soon she had no other options then turn off the magnetism and follow the boy to the sewer.

They all run until the evil robot was pulled away and beaten before Bumblebee looks inside at them and beeped something to them.

"Thank you." said the young boy.

"(Your Welcome)" beeped Bumblebee and went back to the fight.

Elena was ahead of the boys and looked blueprints of sewer systems to get the boys safety before they dump on her.

"What are you doing?" asked the one named Jack.

"Looking which way to get you back to your homes," she said while kept looking.

"Are you one of them?" asked the young one with glasses.

"Half," she said. "They're my family for three years now. This way," she said and point the direction.

"What was that?" asked the young one.

"The less you know, the less chance get into trouble," said Elena. After a long walk, they get up to the street. "Look, promise me you won't tell this to anyone. I mean it."

"I got that already," said Jack.

"Well, yeah. I guess you do."

"Who are you?" asked the young boy.

"Like I said less knowing less trouble," she said and pick her skateboard.

"You do know how to get home from here?" both boys nodded. "Good. I need to go now. Bye." she said before she left.

Elena was the first one to get back to the base. And since she was in the sewer, she went to take a shower. When she had finished and was on her way to the command center, others had already come back and have told what had happened to their leader, Optimus Prime. Elena decided to stay out of the conversation before Silver, Wolf robot came to her with her shopping. She picks them up and checks them. Luckily there wasn't any fragile.

"Elena." heard the voice of Optimus. Elena looks at his direction. "You were the last one with these kids. Where are they?"

"I took them far from the battlefield to the streets where they get home. Why?"

"Can you find them?" he asked.

Elena knew where this leads.

"You want them here, do you?" she asked.

"They could be in danger," he said.

Elena sighs and goes to the Star computer that's another side of the monitors. There she got information about their addresses and the school they went.

After all that she was on her way to her room.

"So much for that talk," said Arcee behind her.

"Cons sure know how to ruin the moments," said Elena jokingly. Arcee walks beside her to their recharge chambers

"Arcee, I..."

"I know... I have got used to that everyone I care will be taken from me."

"That's what I thought first."

"What change your mind?" asked Arcee.

"I'm still with you guys," said Elena smiling at her. "Especially him." on 'him' she meant Optimus.

Arcee looks behind her to Command center where Optimus still was working front of the computer. It has been awhile since Arcee had talked about her feelings for Elena. Elena knew she had a crush on him. For her, it looked like normal leader/soldier relationship with a bit of friendship.

"Everything okay?" asked Elena.

"Yeah... I'm fine."

"Well, you need good rest. You're going pick Jack in the afternoon. Bee goes too for other kid."
