At base, Elena was looking at Jack, Miko, and Raf. She had taken them somewhere in the halls because Optimus was talking with others about the same issue, that she was with the kids.

"Do I even want to know how this happened?" she asked calmly, but angrily. The truth was she had been mad for sometime now. And for the reason. Her right leg and arm were in a packet. And to understand that it's best if we go back to time.

All started when Elena went to buy some stuff for others last night. Well, actually only the necessaries, a few lamps had burned out and some gas fuel up on Ratchet's tools. The next day should be the real go-on-shopping day. But right when she was passing street a car passes on the street and it didn't stop if not almost drive on her. In an accident, her right arm and leg went broke. She wished to yell at the driver, but he got away. Luckily she took the number of the car, So she could find him. And boy he will wish never to drive like that again.

In the base, Silver tied her leg and arm and as for how it looked, she couldn't go anywhere until they were healed. At least leg anyway. But that meant one thing. No shopping for a while. Well, that didn't sound good for most of them.

"What could have done that?" asked Ratchet.

"I have a good guess. Illegal street racing," said Elena while Silver helped her to sit.

"(Illegal?)" wondered Bumblebee.

"There are no rules, no guards, and no medical help. All they care is to see who drives faster and on that many get hurt. And I'm not talking only the ones who are in if not also others. It's one of the things cops try to stop."

"You seem to know about this?" said Bulkhead.

"When I was little, my brother get into those. He almost breaks his leg and boy, how mad father was," said Elena.

"I can see why," said Ratchet.

"Yeah. It's a good thing, you guys don't do it," she said.

Now moving in Base was a bit hard for Elena so, she even was sitting on the shoulder of Optimus and Silver had to help her, while he was out. Now, that Optimus was out, Silver has to help her to the command center. And on the few times, her leg or arm get hit and boy how it hurt. Her cries echoed in entire base.

"You don't need to make a number of it," said Ratchet.

"It's not my intention," said Elena. Then kids come.

"What happened to you?" asked Raf.

"Some nut-head almost drove over me," said Elena. "I can't do anything now. Except listen to music, though..."

Kids stood quietly. It was obvious Elena didn't want to hear anything that has to do with driving. And especially speed driving. Which just happened a few hours ago, when Jack won the race against Vince. And they just decided not to tell Optimus. Better add Elena to the list too.

"So, how went school?" asked Elena.

"Um...it went well," said Jack.

"Yep. Nothing new," said Miko.

"Not at all..." said Raf.

Elena looked each of them for a while. Something was up, but she didn't care, what she did care was how long she has to stay like this.

Next day, Silver checked her. So far they're getting healed well. Elena even managed to make a reach on that car. Since she couldn't use her right arm she had use Star computer and her left arm. While others were picking the kids, Optimus came in and found her in Star Computer.

"Yes! I got him now!" said Elena.

"Who you got?" asked Optimus.

"The one who put into this state." said Elena. "and I need is just call agent Fowler and he can deliver the sue."

"Why?"

"My work is kinda needed here and I couldn't do much like this, so technically I need some reimbursement for this."

After few minutes she made the call and was all glad.

"Need to go anywhere?" asked Optimus.

"A nap in my bed would be nice," said Elena. In this Optimus pick her up and took her to his quarters and there to her room.

After some time Elena woke up and Silver checked her again. So far getting better, but let's not take risks. After the checkup, Elena got to Optimus' shoulder and they went to the command center.

"It's too quiet here," said Elena.

"I agreed," said Optimus.

Once, they got to the command center, they only saw Miko and Raf.

"Raf, Miko," asked Optimus. "Do either of you know where others have gone?"

"Why no, sir. We do not know," said Miko.

"Miko is correct. We do not know," said Raf.

"Why would we know." continued Miko.

Both Elena and Optimus gave looked at both of them.

"You know something, do you?" said Elena. Both girl and boy stayed quiet. And then it hit Elena.

"An Illegal Street Race!" she said out loud. "It has to do with, does it."

"Um..." said Miko.

Elena groans and lay on Optimus' shoulder. "Let me guess, Jack went to Street racing and now they're trouble, because of the Cons!"

"Yes..." admit Raf.

Elena got up and looked while both of them before she turns to Optimus.

"Roll out!" she said.

Optimus agreed and so Transformed, while Elena got inside. Before they even left, Elena got out of the window.

"We will talk about this!" she said before they left.

They get there just in time, Knockout was just getting away from Arcee, when they came. Elena was so furious that she even blow the horn before Optimus pushed Knockout off the road. Then he Transformed in which Elena was once again on his shoulder, while he went to Knockout.

"Optimus," heard Voice of Arcee. "Knockout has a hostage."

"Understood," he said while he picks Knockout and removed his door off and pick Vince from him. Then Knockout got off and transform without his hand armor.

"Do you know how hard that is to replace?" yelled Knockout.

"WELL, WE DON'T CARE!" yelled Elena, while others came. In that knockout left.

"Optimus," said Jack inside Bumblebee. "This was my fault."

"We must get this boy to safety immediately," said Optimus. "Explanations can come later. From all of you."

Everyone looked away. Elena was equally mad as Optimus was.

So, we're here where we started. Elena was looking all kids, while Optimus was talking with others.

"Look, Elena. It's all my fault," said Jack.

"Oh, I know it's all your fault. You just didn't go to the race with Bumblebee, but you also made Miko and Raf...especially RAF to lie," said Elena.

"But that boy is a bully."

"I don't care if he holds crime-record, in the station," said Elena. "If someone mocks you, that doesn't give any reason to go with. What really counts is that you hold on your decision and be proud of it."

Kids stood there without a word. It's either very good speech or they just didn't get it.

"Will you promise me this won't happen EVER again?" said Elena calmly.

"Yes." they all said.

"Good. Now for your punishment," said Elena.

"Awww..."

"Knock it off. This is what you get," said Elena and gives the piece a paper. "Since I can't move much, you'll do the shopping for me."

"Seriously?" asked Miko.

"Either this or you clean my room and bathroom," said Elena.

Jack took the paper, which turns out to be double of its size.

"Five different oils and waxes. six car wash soaps, tires, gears, air-refreshes?" asked Jack.

Elena smirked at them and was about to leave before she remembered something."Oh, You don't need to worry about that bully for a while."

"Why," asked Jack.

"Because I believe his car will be... confiscated," said Elena.

"What you mean...?"

"Don't forget. I expect vanilla flavor in one those oils," said Elena, while she left.
