We've got the power, who's got the action

Break it down till there's nothing but a mere fraction

Out of the fire, rise from the ashes

Reject your doubt and release the passion 

Let's get on it, believe if you want it

step into the realm where the real ones flaunt it 

Welcome To The Masquerade - Thousand Foot Crutch

(A.N.: That song is new, but I needed something to fit Sierra's little.... outburst.

P.S. Okay. So I may have done a little thing because I needed to emphasis something. I chose a dance in here that I know is known for evoking some very... Intimate thoughts. It'll make more sense later. Hopefully. So I hope that clears things up just in case. {C.M.})

Sierra looked around the lavish ballroom, her eyes widening as she stood in the doorway. Jason had insisted that she and Soundwave enter just before he and Juliet, given the fact that she was his sister.

Soundwave tightened his servo gently around her hand as she smiled up at him, stepping through the doorway. Jenny and Gabriel had already entered the room, several demons staring in awe as they all but glided across the floor.

The attention fell on Sierra as she walked in, head held high. Whispers rippled through the crowd as a demon walked up to Sierra and bowed.

"Princess Sierra. It is an honor to meet you." She blinked in shock before smiling and bowing her head.

"Likewise, mister?"

"Reginald, m'lady." He straightened. "And this must be Soundwave." He sounded unimpressed as he turned back to her. "Surely such a noble woman could have chosen better." She felt a bolt of anger flow through her.

"Take heed Reginald." Sierra turned as Jason walked up with his blade now at his hip, Juliet nowhere in sight. "My sister may be kind enough not to kill you for words against her mate. But if you say a word against either of them again then I will take great pleasure in rending your head from your neck. Are we clear?"

"Y-yes your highness." Reginald turned and fled as Jason looked away.

"It is so hard to find good help these days." He then cleared his throat, pulling all attention to him. "Ladies and gentlemen. Your attention please." He spoke loud and clear.

"You better listen." The bartender spoke, gesturing to an already half-drunk demon.

"Might I present to you the lovely future queen of Hell, Juliet Winchester." She walked into the room, making everyone gasp in shock. One, hidden at the back of the room, curled their lip in disgust, making for the familiar mess of blonde hair that belonged to the silver-eyed demon.

"Wow." One demon breathed. "I heard she was pretty but woah." Everyone else began to whisper to themselves as Juliet descended the stairs to join Jason. He took her hand in his and snapped his fingers, a cloth wrapped object appearing in his hand.

"Juliet, my queen, I present this to you as a token of my love and of your new status." He pulled the cloth away to reveal a blade, much like his, gleaming in his hand. "Only you can use this blade. However, the demon who created it met with an unfortunate end, so it can never be replicated."

"Jason." She whispered, smiling. "My king, this is a most extraordinary gift. I thank you." She kissed him, feeling his arms slide around her waist and fasten the sword belt. They parted, Jason keeping his arm around her waist as a few of the demons cheered.

A half hour later found Sierra and Juliet standing with Cliffjumper, who had his eye on the bartender. He was tall at about six foot four and had shaggy black hair. He wore a loose fitting t-shirt, leaving much to Cliffjumper's imagination. Though what he could see of him was lean and muscular. It reminded the Autobot of images of the mythical creatures called 'elves'. "Juliet, with my luck the guy's as straight as they get. I mean come on. With looks like those he probably has ladies falling for him left and right."

"Well you're not wrong on the last part Cliffjumper." Jason stepped up beside them. "However, he never accepts the ladies offers. Only those of the men." Cliffjumper perked up at this as Jason chuckled.

"Well come on Cliff, now you have no reason not to go talk to him." Cliffjumper shook his head.

"Why would he go for a bot?" Sierra smirked and shoved him towards the bar.

"Just go for it." She walked ahead, going to join Soundwave as he sat at the end of the bar. Cliffjumper, though hesitant, sat a seat away from Sierra.

"Why hello there Red." He looked up as the bartender set a glass ahead of him, filled with a dark glowing drink. "Energon. High-grade. Of a sort." He clarified.

"Th-thank you." Cliffjumper stuttered. The bartender smirked, making his spark flutter.

"Now come on, don't be shy. Might I have your name?" He leaned on the counter.

"Cliffjumper." He blurted, making the man smile. "Yours?"

"Zach." His eyes flashed and Cliffjumper blinked. "Demon and bartender extrordinaire." Cliffjumper felt a bit more confident and sat upright.

"Extrorindinaire huh?" He smiled.

"Oh yes, king of hell's personal bartender."

"And an excellent one at that." Jason interrupted. "Zach, a drink for me and my darling queen." Juliet blushed a bit as Zach set to mixing the drinks, making quite a show of it.

"There you are." He set the drinks in front of the couple.

"Trying to impress someone Zach?" Jason asked with a smirk.

"Hmm... Maybe." He grinned as Jason and Juliet both downed their drinks. He caught Cliffjumper staring out of the corner of his eye and turned away, emphasising his moves. He heard Sierra snicker and leaned down to grab another bottle of high-grade. He stood back up and turned, walking to the demon princess.

"And what will it be for you my dear?" Sierra leaned forwards.

"Well Jason says you may know what I want better than I do." She smiled. "So whatever you think for my mate and I."

"As you wish your majesty." He mixed the drinks, noting that Cliffjumper was staring at his now empty glass with a deep blush.

Neither of them paid any mind as a beautiful blonde demon sat between Sierra and the red mech. Her back was to Sierra as she attempted to flirt with Cliffjumper. Zach chuckled, earning a glare. "Pscipolnitsa, I don't think he'll take to your advances."

"Oh and why not Zach? Surely he's not into such a lowly bartending demon such as yourself." Sierra froze, hand on her glass as it was barely touched to her lips. Slowly she set it down, unaware as her brother swept past, taking Juliet out to dance. It was silent as the glass touched the bar, a little too heavily even for the drunkest of men.

Silence swept over everyone, even Crowley and Lilith as they turned to looked at Sierra. "Impossible." She growled, her eyes darkening.

"Oh look. It's the daughter of that Decepticon man-whore." The glass cracked and Soundwave swiftly took it from his mate's grasp. She stood, shaking with rage as she looked over. "What, you think you scare me?"

"Lady Midday!" Jason snapped. "Leave no-" A raised hand silenced him, Sierra glaring at the woman.

"I can handle this Jason." He looked slightly surprised at the pure anger in her voice, feeling as heat poured through the room, centering around Sierra. Lady Midday took a step back, overwhelmed for a second before she caught her bearings.

"So the little princess isn't going to run to big brother for help?" She mocked, barely noting as Sierra's eyes changed, burning brighter than ever before.

Midday had no time to react as Sierra's fist swung, slamming into her nose and cracking it. She fell to the ground, crying out in pain as the broken appendage bled, soaking her hand and once white dress.

"You think I need help standing up to you?! For years I have felt nothing but rage at you for abandoning me! The first words I remember are 'abomination' and 'leave it to die'! Words you spoke not long after I was born!" She yelled, a darkness unseen in any demon before wrapping around her and giving her an appearance of a much older woman. "I should kill you here and now for what you did!"

"For what I did?! You are a monster! Just like your fucking father!" Midday countered. Rage boiled in Sierra and she scooped up her energon, grabbing Midday by the throat.

"I'm a monster?" She slammed her into the counter. "I will kill you." She threatened.

"With what?" Sierra downed her drink and then slammed the glass into the back of Midday's head, disorienting her. She then threw her aside and straightened her, luckily clean, dress.

"You're lucky I'm not like you." She hissed. "Leave. Now!" Midday wasted no time in scrambling to her feet and taking off. Sierra calmed as Soundwave hugged her from behind, the heat slowly slipping away.

Once the room was fairly cool once more Sierra collapsed, barely being supported by her mate's arms.

"I need a drink." She muttered.

"Sierra." She looked up, seeing Jason smiling. "Good job little sister." A light smile crossed her lips as well.

"Thanks big brother."

Gabriel spun Jenny, watching as she danced along to the classical score that was playing. She had obviously taken lessons at some point, but he was unsure of when. As far as he knew every moment she wasn't with her sister she was either helping Wheeljack or with him.

She looked up at him as he pulled her close once more. Her wings moved gently with every movement, drawing attention to her as they danced. He spun with her as Juliet and Jason swung past them. The sisters smiled to each other before being swept away in opposite directions. Everyone turned to watch them, focused on how well the two couples danced.

Once the song ended Gabriel smiled, leading Jenny over to sit. "Whew, that was fun. Can we dance again?" He smiled and pecked her cheek.

"Here in a moment love. At least let me get a drink?" She nodded, listening as the music began to change.

"What is this?" Gabriel listened and chuckled, quickly downing his drink.

"Tango." He stood. "This is one I love." He walked onto the floor with her, stopping across from Jason and Juliet. The royal couple smirked and stepped out onto the center of the floor, Gabriel and Jenny doing the same The women stood behind their loves and pressed close to their backs, the music beginning once more.

Gabriel was shocked at how well Jenny could move and keep up with the dance, Juliet herself barely able to. The younger sister began to lose herself in the music, making it so that Gabriel was unable to look away. She moved fluidly, not missing a step where even Gabriel himself had nearly misstepped.

When the song ended he looked down at her, his eyes wide as she panted while held in his arms. She smiled up at him and he bit back a reply that he knew would embarass his love. So he simply lifted her, careful not to focus on how well the dress fit to her curves or how beautifully her wings looked as they stretched out once more.

He quickly swept Jenny away to sit at the bar. He sat quickly and Jenny sat beside him. "Gabriel." She panted, making him hide a whimper at the unintentional tone in her voice. "That was fun." She leaned over and kissed him deeply and lovingly, making his discomfort lessen a bit.

"Glad you enjoyed it cupcake." She smiled and looked to the dance floor. "We can dance again here in a few, alright Jen?" He crossed one leg over the other to hide his obvious reaction to her dance.

"Okay." She nodded slightly before looking back to the others.

"Besides. I was never much one for this dance." Jenny smiled.

"It's okay Gabe. We'll sit this one out." She glanced up as a lanky demon with long crimson hair held his hand out to her.

"Might I steal you away for this dance?" He asked, making Jenny glance to Gabriel.

"Go ahead sweetheart. I'll be right here."

"Thanks Gabe." She took the demon's hand and he swept her away, Gabriel watching as the man spun Jenny out onto the floor. He sighed softly and turned back to the bar, seeing the man chuckle.

"Your girlfriend?" He asked.

"Yeah." He eyed the man warily. "Why?"

"Woah, easy. I've already got my eye on someone." He gestured to Cliffjumper. "Name's Zach and I'll be giving you your poison tonight. So what'll it be?" Gabriel sighed, ordered and glanced over to see Jason now spinning Jenny around, Juliet glaring at the demon who had offered Jenny a dance. He cowered under her gaze and slunk off.

"Ha. Knew that idiot would get caught. He's always trying to feel up the women. Luckily her highness stopped him before he could touch your girl." Zach set the drink down and Gabriel downed it quickly.

"So, you like Cliffjumper huh?"

"Mech's a real looker. And so far his personality is amazing." He smiled, making Gabriel chuckle. "Something funny archangel?"

"Nothing. Just wondering how both sides became so enthralled with Cybertronians." Zach arched an eyebrow.

"That why your girl has metal wings?" He looked up as the demon refilled his glass.

"Yeah. Sorta." Jenny collapsed beside Gabriel, grinning up at him.

"I need a drink, bad." Zach chuckled and set a bottle of water in front of her. "Thank you sir." She popped the top and drank it slowly.

"Having fun Jen?" She looked over as Juliet sat too, getting a bottle of water as well.

"Yeah. You?" Juliet nodded as Jason wandered over, whispering in her ear. Her eyes widened and she turned.

"About to have a whole different kind of fun." He purred, Jason pulling her to her feet. "Don't wait up."

"There are rooms here for all of you, should you need it." Jason answered. It was Juliet's turn to whisper in his ear, making his eyes darken. "Zach can show you where." With that he vanished, taking Juliet with him.

-

Three hours later and many of the demons had already vanished, leaving mainly the group at the bar. Jenny had convinced Gabriel to allow her to try some of the drinks Zach was mixing.

Cliffjumper was swaying in his seat as Sierra collapsed against Soundwave, whispering things in his ear that Gabriel knew for a fact he didn't want to hear. Soundwave scooped the woman up and, after confirming where his room was, left with the drunken woman. Jenny looked not to far away, giggling drunkenly as she cuddled up to the archangel's side.

"Jen, I think it's time you get some sleep." She looked up at him.

"Only if you're coming too Gabe." He looked to her, pressing a light kiss to her forehead. She looked up and kissed him, feeling him pull her close.

Something in her snapped then and she couldn't stop it. Not that she wanted to anyways. She stood, pulling him to his feet as well. She looked up at him and he stilled, noting the cloudy look in her eyes. A look he knew all to well. "Jenny, what are you-?"

"Shhh. C-can you get us to a room. Please?" She smiled sweetly, making Gabriel melt. He nodded and snapped his fingers, shocked when Jenny found the bed and pushed him against it. He blinked up at her, instantly knowing that what she wasn't in her right mind.

She began kissing him, each one after the other growing more and more heated. He growled and flipped her, pinning her to the bed. "Jen, stop. Please. You don't want this. Not when you're so drunk." She whimpered and pouted, looking up at him.

"Can't... Control." She sounded confused. He smiled reassuringly, not realizing how drunk she was.

"Sleep, sugar. It'll help." She nodded and curled up against him.

"I'm sorry." She muttered. He only hugged her tight to him and felt as she passed out.

"Tomorrow is going to be hell." He sighed. Finally he resigned himself to his fate and lay beside Jenny, pulling the blanket over them and gently rubbing her wings, keeping this up until he drifted to sleep as well.

-

Zach looked to the last patron as they collapsed, leaving only the red mech leaning on the counter. He sighed and walked over, helping him stand. "Come on Red." He looked up at Cliffjumper smiled down at him.

"Sure thing hot-stuff." Zach actually felt a touch of red in his cheeks as he took Cliffjumper back to his room in Diego Garcia. He carefully lay him on the berth and went to leave, slamming into an invisible wall.

"Sh-" He hissed and groaned before sitting beside Cliffjumper. "Well, looks like I'm staying here." He glanced down as Cliffjumper reached up in an open invitation to lay by him. The demon shrugged and lay by him, feeling him hug him gently, pulling up a mesh cloth to rest over them. Zach smiled and rest his head against the Autobot's chassis. For the entirety of the night he lay there, watching the mech and realizing just how right it all felt.

And if that smile was any indication, Cliffjumper could feel it too.
