Chapter Fifteen - Praxian Nightmares
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah
Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard
"That is it! I can't take this anymore!" The enraged roar cut across base, making Jenny look up from where she rest in Gabriel's arms.
"Was that the new girl?" She asked.
"I think so. Can't imagine what she's yelling for though." He looked down and smiled before leaning down and kissing her. She blushed brightly and he chuckled. "Come on. Let's go prank the Moron Twins." She smiled and stood.
Meanwhile, in the Rec Room, Prowl was watching his extremely agitated daughter as she paced the room. "How in the hell have the monsters been this quiet?!"
"Rachel." Prowl chuckled.
"If I don't hunt something soon I'm going to go insane!" She growled, collapsing in her father's lap. He rubbed her back and she sighed.
"Sounds to me like someone's wound up again. With nowhere to go this time." She sat up and crossed her arms with a huff.
"Anyone single on this base?"
"Several soldiers and bots." Prowl shrugged. Rachel looked up, catching sight of Sunstreaker painting in the corner, a very bored Sideswipe laying behind him.
"How about the red one over there?" She asked quietly.
"He and Sunstreaker are split sparks. Meaning anyone who tolerates one of them in the berth has to tolerate both." Prowl chuckled. "I wouldn't if I were you."
"Come on dad. It'd calm me down."
"As well as keep the Terror Twins occupied." Flare-Up commented as she walked by.
"See?" Prowl sighed.
"Be careful Rachel. They could hurt you."
"I'm a shifter dad. Tougher than humans, remember?" He smiled and nodded, watching as she stood and walked over.
"Now tha' she's wandered off." Jazz purred in his mate's audial. "What do you say you and I go to our our room?" Prowl only smirked as he nodded and stood, following Jazz out.

Sunstreaker looked up as the very woman he had been painting sauntered over to them, smiling sweetly. He could see the reflective shine in her eyes and looked to the painting, knowing that he would have a difficult time capturing that particular aspect.
"Hey. Rachel, right?" Sideswipe greeted, grinning like a moron.
"Yeah. I don't think I caught your names boys." Sunstreaker glanced to her.
"I'm Sideswipe and this is my worse half, Sunstreaker." The yellow mech growled.
"Worse half? Looks to me like he's the better half." She teased, making the mech's ego rise. "So what are you painting?" Sunstreaker picked up on a Russian accent, buried deep in her words.
"N-nothing." He moved to hide it but Rachel stepped up close enough. Her eyes widened at the image.
"Wow. Sunstreaker... This is amazing!" He blinked and she held a hand up. He gently picked her up, setting her on the edge of the metal beam he had reformatted into an easel. She sat, watching as he lifted the brush.
"Do me a favor and look straight at me?" She nodded and did as told, unable to look as he mixed paints and placed the brush to the canvas. Sideswipe watched as his twin gently created the woman's eyes, paying special attention to detail. "Okay, you can look down, just please don't look at the painting yet."
"Alright." She leaned back against a blank spot and watched Sideswipe. "So your twin can paint. What can you do?"
"I'm good at pranks. And I've heard from plenty of femmes that I'm good in other respects too." This made Rachel smirk. "How about you gorgeous?" She leaned forwards.
"I can be anything you want me to be. Literally." She chuckled. "Though I've never tried taking on the form of a bot."
"Really?" She nodded and leaned back. "You may have to give us a demonstration of that some day."
"And I'm also pretty good in other respects as well." She noticed both mechs as they froze, looking to her. "What, want a demonstration of that as well?" She smirked.
"Don't tempt us." Sunstreaker muttered, finishing off the painting.
"Why? Cause you'd accept my offer?" They both looked to her. "Because my door's unlocked." She shrugged.
"You realize you'd have to deal with us both."
"I've been informed." The twins looked to each other, not noticing as she climbed down. "Door with the hazard tape. If you're interested." She strolled out and they watched her.
"I'll put away your paints." The yellow mech picked up the painting and folded the easel, taking off as his twin finished gathering his paints and followed.

Jason strolled through the halls, pausing when he saw Sierra laying in the middle of the hallway, fast asleep. He chuckled and walked up, seeing that she was laying in the center of a Devil's Trap.
"Odd." He mused, walking over. "Sierra." Her eyes opened and she looked up.
"Jason!" She leapt up and slammed into an invisible barrier. "Slag!" He chuckled.
"So I see that you get stuck in Devil's Traps."
"Yes. Now will you let me out?" He chuckled and broke the circle. "They really need to quit putting these everywhere." She muttered.
"It seems to inconvenience a lot of you." She rolled her eyes and Jason chuckled. "Oh, Sierra. I need you to join me in a small gathering. Juliet will be there as well, and you are more than welcome to bring your mate."
"Really? Sounds fun." He smiled.
"Of course it is pretty much a requirement that you at least be there. It's in Hell, of course." She nodded.
"Dress code?"
"Cocktail dress."
"Looks like I'm going shopping." He handed her a card.
"Take Juliet, buy her whatever she wants. You too princess." She hugged him, making him chuckle. "I'll see you later. And one final thing."
"Yes Jason?" She asked as she slipped free.
"Don't tell Juliet. Just tell her you found a party and wanted her to come with."
"No problem. I'll just tell her Jazz and I finally got our party full planned!" With that she turned and headed back to her room. Jason simply shook his head and vanished.

Dean woke up to the sound of purring in his ear and looked over, seeing dark blue eyes ringed by violet staring at him. He jolted back slightly as Metallicar nuzzled him, purring even louder.
"B-Baby?" He blinked in shock.
"Dean." She spoke in a breathless whisper.
"Baby are you alright?"
"Never better." He sat up, slipping free.
"Well I have to go... Check on the twins!" He dressed in a hurry and ducked out, leaving a pouting Metallicar. With a smirk she stood, replacing her armor and walking out the door.
-
"Ratchet!" Dean rushed into the Med Bay. "I think there's something wrong with Baby."
"What do you mean?" He asked as Dean hid behind his pede, not seeing Jenny sitting on a berth not far from him.
"I mean she's acting all crazy and weird!" The door opened then, exposing the femme. She was still mass-shifted.
"Ratch. Have you seen Dean?"
"Oh slag." He scooped Dean up and placed him beside Jenny. "We need to get all the Praxians on lockdown. Fast."
"What is it?"
"Heat cycle."
-
Moonracer watched Bumblebee warily, noting the purring sound that seemed to come from him. He lunged and she yelled, running from the Room. "Guys!" She slid to a stop in front of Lennox. "Major."
"Uh, hey. What's going on?" She looked up.
"Praxian heat cycle. Not good."
"Wait come again?"
"Certain bots go into what is called a heat cycle. Praxians, the one's with the doorwings. Bumblebee, Barricade, Metallicar and Wheeljack are all Praxians. I think Prowl is too." She looked up as Bee walked into sight. "I need to get him to the Med Bay."
"How do you plan on doing that?" She looked to him.
"Like this." She turned and walked up to Bee, pulling him down into a quick kiss. He tugged her closer, deepening the kiss before she shoved him back. "Come on Bee." She smirked and headed down the hall, the mech following like a love-sick puppy. Lennox shook his head and turned to see Blaze walking through the room.
"Blaze. What's up bud?"
"Opi's gone nuts and danni's trying to keep him relaxed."
"He from Praxus too?" Blaze nodded. "How many bots are from there?" He groaned.
"Quite a few." Lennox sighed. "At least it's not the Seekers."
"What have we gotten ourselves into?"

Jenny looked to Gabriel nervously, the wind whipping her hair around. He smiled reassuringly, placing a soft kiss to the heel of her palm. "You can do this Jen. I know you can." He gave her hand a tiny squeeze before letting it go. Jenny took a deep breath, her wings stretched out to their fullest extent.
"Gabe I'm... I'm scared. What if I fall?"
"I won't let you." He smiled. "Come on. She whispered. She had never fully flown before. Glided, yes. But never anything more. She felt reassuring arms around her waist and leaned back against the chest of her beloved. He pressed his lips to her forehead and whispered soft reassurances in English, Cybertronian and a little bit of Enochian. She had learned the last language fairly quickly, shocking Gabriel and Castiel. "I'll never let you fall." He ended in English. She took a deep breath and nodded.
"Alright. Let's do this." Gabriel released her, allowing her to step forwards. She turned as his own wings stretched out, catching and bending the light. She stared, awestruck as he moved past her.
"Watch me." She nodded, watching as he leapt, his wings a mere shimmer to any who may be watching below. They pushed downwards, catching the air as he flew upwards and turned, seeing the pure amazement in Jenny's features.
She could see easily, in that moment, why archangels were so feared. And so admired. He smirked, popping a sucker into his mouth as he kept himself aloft. He was watching as Jenny took a deep breath, stepping back a few paces before running forwards and leaping. Her arms were stretched out to the sides with her wings as they opened again, catching on the air. They flapped, beating against the air as she flew near straight up. An idea struck as she turned, tucking her arms and wings close to her body as she spun, cutting through a lower laying cloud.
It was Gabriel's turn to stare in awe as her wings opened, creating a dazzling light show as the sunlight hit the silver wings. Metal feathers shimmered as golden highlights reflected the light. Energon lines, barely visible in sections that were still healing, pulsed in time with her spark. She looked so free in that moment that, were it not for the raven colored hair, he would not believe it to be Jenny.
Her wings moved just enough to keep her aloft, golden dress caught in the wind and green eyes settled on Gabriel, accompanied by a genuine smile that had been so rare in the past two months that he feared it would vanish entirely.
"What is going- oh." He heard Alice but didn't bother turning to her. He was afraid to break the spell Jenny had put him under. He even ignored the resounding footsteps that signaled the Prime had joined his wife outside. "She looks..."
"Like an angel." Optimus finished.
"Yeah." Gabriel agreed as Jenny grinned. She dove, having been higher than him, and flew past, aiming for the ground. She opened her wings to slow her but failed at the placement of her feet, hitting the sand and rolling, her wings wrapped around her. "Jenny!"
Gabriel was quick to land by her shaking form. He knelt, checking for injuries. He stopped as she sucked in a breath before laughing again. She sat up, shaking sand from her wings as the mirthful sound echoed through the air.
"That was fun!" Gabriel sighed and helped her stand. She hugged him and grinned. "Thank you for teaching me how to fly." She kissed him lovingly, holding him tightly. When she pulled back he was shocked, his eyes wide. It was the first time the shy woman had initiated the kiss. He quickly smiled, kissing her again.
"You are most welcome, my little Angel." She blushed and huddled against his chest before looking up at Optimus.
"Excuse me, Mister Prime?" He chuckled.
"Just Optimus, please."
"Okay. Optimus?"
"Yes?"
"Tell me about the stories of angels on your world?" He smiled and nodded.
"As you wish, little Jenny."
