Next morning in Scrapyard, Grimlock arrives happily because Gaia took him to the city in his new crane disguise and just like last night no one suspected anything when they passed by.

"Well, how it went?" Fixit asked, even if he already knew the answer. Bumblebee, Strongarm, Denny, and Russell arrived at the entrance

"It went great!" Grimlock cheered. "No one thought I was something else than a crane."

"We also went pick Aqua and Young from the hospital." Gaia told. "kid-patients were all so thrilled to see Grimlock, as a crane of course."

"Where are Aqua and Young?" Bumblebee asked since it's obvious only one human can drive on Grimlock, not three. Plus, they obviously need to rest after what happened with Quillfire.

"Oh, they are behind us," Gaia said and looked behind her when a car came into the scrapyard. Everyone froze up in shock when they saw an unknown car. Did Gaia and Grim just expose them to strangers?

Soon as the car stopped, from it came out first Aqua bandage on her nose and Young with black eye and bandage on her head. But after them, came out a young man, a young woman, and a teen boy. Others were still shocked seeing more humans, but Bumblebee's face changed from shock to confusion. These three look so familiar to him.

"Wow... what a dump." the young woman said.

"Miko..." the young man said. Wait a minute...Miko?

"Jack?" Bumblebee asked a young man who smiled at him. "Miko?" Bee asked a young woman who gave a big grin to him. "Raff?" Bee asked the teenage boy.

"It's great to see you, Bumblebee." The teenage boy answered while fixed his glasses.

"Lieutenant, you know them?" Strongarm asked. Right then Sweet came to see what was going until she saw the visitors.

"Sweet?" Miko asked.

In this, there was deep silence, until Sweet started to squeal so loud, that everyone was scared about what was that about until Sweet runs to the three humans and starts to hug them.

"She squealed, I told you," Raff said while Sweet was hugging Miko.

"Never changes," Jack said while picks his wallet and gives ten bucks to Raff. Then Sweet went hug Jack and it took some time to get her off from him until she went to hug Raff.

"Um, guys... These are our human allies when we were here last time." Bumblebee introduced.

"You mean, they knew you existed?" Denny asked.

"Well, we were young back then and we found it out by accident," Jack admitted.

"Best years of my life," Miko said.

"Look...umm...Sorry that I didn't tell you..."

"It's okay, Bee," Raff said. "By what Young and Aqua told, you have been quite occupied to save the Earth from Decepticons."

"Plus, we have been also bit occupied. Studying and training..." Jack said.

"That was until we noticed familiar activity like back in good old days and we decided to come and see," Miko said.

"Heh, Well it's good to see you as well."

"By the way, how everyone? Arcee? Optimus? Elena?"

At first, Bumblebee smiled on that, but after mentioning Elena he looked worried.

"How about we tell you more while we drink something," Denny said and leads them to the dine cafeteria.

"Wow! What happened" Miko asked meaning the huge hole in the cafeteria.

"Part of the story," Russell said.

Elena started to wake up again. When she opens her optics she doesn't find Steeljaw near her like did last night. She gets up to see if he is somewhere in the chamber, but he wasn't. Until she heard water falling in a bathroom, she realized he has gone to take shower. Speaking of him, the scene of last came to her mind. The way he holds her felt so warm and caring. Then other scenes appeared in her mind, in which Steeljaw has held her like that. At those moments, he is different from what she expected. 'What is this feeling?' She wondered. It felt like...

Right then, Steeljaw came out from the bathroom with a towel on his shoulders. Elena shook her head to get thoughts clear. He at first looked at her but didn't say anything. After so, he just went sat down to dry. There was deep awkward silence in the chamber until he broke it...

"I'm having a little meeting with my old friends. It would be best if you stay here, now that you don't have your mini-con anymore to heal you if something happens." Steeljaw said with a stern voice.

"Fine." Elena just answered. Not that she didn't like the idea, but he had a point. Now that she managed to let Toolbox out, having own caretaker again won't be possible. And if she tries to go out without Steeljaw or someone else, she obviously will be target around other cons.

Once that was obviously clear Steeljaw went out and Elena just went to lay down again. She put some music to play by the player Steeljaw made for her. Maybe it would get thoughts to go elsewhere.

In Scrapyard, Jack Raf and Miko have heard all that has happened so far to Autobots.

"What is that, with cons always capturing her?" Miko asked annoyingly.

"Well, she is a very important person now on Cybertron." Jack reminded.

"Can't you locate her?" Raf asked.

"We have tried, but It seems even these new cons have managed to block their signals, which why we can't find them." Bumblebee explained.

"And what about those you have captured," Jack asked.

"Passed out during the interrogation," Russell admits.

"We really should go with good cop first," Sweet admits.

"We are good cops," Grimlock said.

"We didn't mean like that. It's more like a nice cop and a mean cop." Jack explained.

"Considering what kind of Criminals we have nice cop would die before finishing the question," Gaia said.

"Oh..."

"What about Optimus and others?"

"Until we get our Ground bridge to work on They have to use the ship." Bumblebee explained.

"What happened to it?" Miko asked.

"When Optimus went through it dried-Died-Fried," Fixit said.

"Do you need help to repair it?" Raff asked.

"Trust me, Fixit. Raf knows these things." Bumblebee said.

"Well, follow me then," Fixit said and leads Raf to Command center while others remained to talk.

Meanwhile, at crashed ship Alchemor...

"How come we're always waiting around for him?" Thunderhoof asked annoyedly.

"'Cause he's the boss, and the boss calls the shots! Everybody knows that! Sheesh."

"Well, then maybe it's time somebody else became the boss around here," Thunderhoof said.

"If you think you're qualified, Thunderhoof then take your best shot," Steeljaw said. "Otherwise, be silent and listen."

"Not everyone on this little hive of Decepticons is pleased with the current leadership. Some want to follow them off Earth, others want to stay and rule it. We can use that division. We just need a little more support, and a little more firepower."

"Somebody's coming!" Clampdown informed. He was right. Saberhorn and Glowstrike came.

"Steeljaw. Just the 'Con we're looking for. Come. Walk with us." Saberhorn said.

"We'd like to have a word with you if you're not too busy, that is," Glowstrike said.

"Not busy at all. Just killing time." Steeljaw said although deep inside he didn't want. He just wanted to talk with his partners and then go look how Star Supreme was. She probably hates him after kissing her. It would take a miracle to solve this.

"Considering, what happened yesterday, we thought it would be best if you focus gaining Star Supreme's trust," Saberhorn said.

"We, however, can't give another mini-con to look after her health. She might release that one too and before we could know she might as well have released all of them." Glowstrike said.

"I pretty sure she aware of that. Gaining her trust, however, seems easier said than done." Steeljaw said calmly.

"Ah, you upset her somehow." Saberhorn guessed.

"Well, for spending most of her time in the same room, I wouldn't be surprised. Have you let her out?"

"Few times. But I think she would want out from the island if it is possible." Steeljaw said.

"Well, true. Without leash on her, it could be a problem." Saberhorn said.

"You could suggest her that she can go out if she promised not to run away," Glowstrike suggested.

"I keep that in mind," Steeljaw said.

Steeljaw walked down the hallway heading to his quatres while thinking about how to solve his problem. Maybe getting her out could help a bit like Glowstrike said. But going top on the ship, wouldn't be enough. She obviously wants to be somewhere calm with no con out of sight. Right then one place comes to his mind. The place where he started to want her. Where she met those wolf family. Yes, that could it. Okay, that's good so far. Now he needs is find a way to take her there.

While still thinking about that he has arrived in his quarters and opened the door. There he found Elena resting peacefully listening to music from the player he made for her. She looked so lovely when she rested like that. Steeljaw moved quietly and moved closer to look at her. If only he could see that beautiful sleeping face every time he wakes up.

Right then Elena started to open her optics. In this, Steeljaw moved away, so she won't start yelling for seeing him. Yeah, like he would want to make this any awkward that it is.

"You always fell asleep because listening music?" he asked.

"That depends on what type of music I listen," she answered. "I use to listened to music while dad drove on the road and I fell asleep on my seat," she told showing a small smile, which faded quickly as it came.

Steeljaw did notice it. As much he wished to pull her close to him and hug her, he couldn't. She probably will beat him for that. So he took a deep breath first.

"If you like, I could take you out, as in out from the Isle," he suggested. Elena was surprised and got up to sit to listen. "This, however, doesn't mean you're free. I was told that I could take you out if you promise not to run away."

"I see..." Elena answered.

There was a deep silence now. Obviously, because Steeljaw didn't want to push her and Elena was thinking her choices.

"If..."

Steeljaw's ears flicked bit hearing that voice and he looks at her.

"If I promise, not run away, where you plan to take me?" she asked.

"Anywhere you want. But not close to the scrapyard. I won't take the risk that they will pick my signal." Steeljaw answered. Well added. "So..."

"I promise not to run away. At least I won't have angry optics on me." she sighed.

"Good point," he noted. "So, you want to go tomorrow?"

"Okay."

"Very well then. Tomorrow it is. I'll go make sure it's okay." Steeljaw said and went to the door.

"Steeljaw."

In this Steeljaw stopped and turned to look at her.

"Thank you..."

"Um... You're welcome," he said before leaving the room.

After this Elena sigh loud and rest down on the berth. Why she thanked him? He has so far made things for her. giving her mini-con (which she let go), allowed two other mini-con to stay with her, giving her player, comforted her, kept her warm. No con has ever done that to her. Well, Knockout was nice sometimes, before he switched sides. But this was different.

What does it mean?

Steeljaw remained standing there. Did she thank him? That was unexpected. Yet, it feels great that she accepted. It felt good. He walked to the hallway until Saberhorn and Glowstrike came to him.

"Ah, Steeljaw. How is it with our guest?" Saberhorn asked.

"I am taking her outside tomorrow like you suggested," Steeljaw answered.

"Without running away?" Glowstrike asked.

"Without running away," Steeljaw assured.

"Good. Now, we like to ask one more thing from you." Saberhorn said before they walked to one unknown section to Steeljaw. There was one door from which they entered. Turns out it was ship's arm storage.

"Steeljaw, we need more powerful tools to discourage rebellion," Glowstrike explained while

they stopped in front of one shelf. "The weapons in this compartment would be ideal, but we can't get the accursed thing open."

"We were hoping that someone as resourceful as yourself might succeed where we have failed."

Steeljaw looked to the shelf, which was locked with a code. Inside it, there were two weapons that looked like; Decepticon Hunters. Here? But now that he thinks it, this ship is Alchemor, so those were meant to guards if something bad happens. Bee and his team have those and if he could... Oh, yes. Things started to look way good to him.
