Chapter Fourteen - Chocolate Pranks
Self-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall
Cause
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...
Jenny - Nothing More
(A.N.: Happy New Years! Also yes, that was two new songs in a row. But these two chapters kinda focus around Jenny. And the songs just fit so well. Anyways. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Featuring something I've had planned for a while now. ;)
P.S. I also have a minor time skip in a weird spot. lol {C.M.})
"Let me go!" The false Crowley shrieked, snarling.
"Not until you tell me why you look like Crowley." He growled.
"I told you that it's none of your business." The shapeshifter snapped. "Whoever the hell you are." She snarled.
"Ah. Hell is exactly it." He smirked. This made the shifter pale.
"Oh fuck. You're Jason aren't you?" He whimpered.
"Yes. And you are?"
"Rachel. Zolnerowich." Prowl, who was standing guard froze, servo tightening. He turned, looking to the creature.
"You lie." He hissed. "Rachel is dead."
"No Pierce. I'm not." The skin fell away, leaving a woman in a too big suit. Silver-blue eyes landed on him as curly brown hair fell about her shoulders. Prowl transformed, his holoform appearing in front of her.
"Rachel." He sobbed. "Oh Rachel, I thought you were dead."
"I almost was. I got out though." Jason picked up on the Russian accent, confusion crossing his features. Prowl released her and held her tightly, refusing to let go. Jason looked at him in confusion. He then turned.
"Did I miss something here?" He asked. "No? You lost too?" He turned back. "Explain." Prowl turned to him.
"This is Rachel. This is the hunter I helped raise."

Two Weeks Later
-
Jenny flicked a coin, watching it dance across the counter. She sighed, staring at it. All of a sudden the penny turned into a copper woman, who danced gracefully before sitting her dress laying around her. Jenny blinked. "Wow." She gently picked up the woman, who appeared to be living, and looked closely.
She was detailed perfectly, looking like an exact duplicate of Jenny. Minus the scars and wings. "Like it?"
"It's gorgeous Gabe." She smiled, making it look like she was still looking over the tiny doll. In actuality she was watchin Gabriel, who was digging into a bag. Her eyes followed his movements, lingering on every time his shirt hugged tight to his form. She bit her lip, making the coin doll jingle with tiny peals of laughter. She turned her attention back to her and chuckled. "How sentient is she?"
"Very. She's your guardian, sweetheart." He smiled, kneeling beside her. "I brought you something else." He held up a chocolate bar and she set the girl down, taking the sweet with glee filled eyes.
"Thank you Gabriel!" She hugged him, burrowing her face into his neck. He hesitated before hugging back. After a moment he cleared his throat and she moved away, blushing slightly.
"A-also you can leave. Ratchet just needs to do one last check on your vitals and then we can go prank someone." She smiled brightly. For the past two weeks Gabriel had been teaching her the best ways to prank everyone on base.
"Oooh! I have the perfect one!" She grinned, making him smile as she took a bite of her candy bar. A delighted hum escaped her and the doll stood. She jingled and held her hands up.
"Oh yeah, she needs little bits here and there of sweets to keep her running independently from me." Jenny nodded and broke off a small piece, the doll taking it and eating it slowly and daintily. Jenny took another small bite as Ratchet walked in. He glanced to her and sighed.
"Only this once."
"Thanks Ratch!" She chirped. He merely rolled his eyes and set to checking her over.

Jason lay back on the couch, eyeing Rachel warily as Prowl introduced her to Jazz. The woman had just been released from the brig. She had been down there because Prowl wanted to make sure she was alright. As well as it really being her before introducing her to his mate.
"Let me tell you something Jazz." Rachel smiled. "Prowl was... Is. Prowl is like a father to me." She smiled up at the mech, who smiled in return.
"So ya are the li'l girl he entered into hunting for?" She frowned.
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Prowl shook his head.
"I would do anything to keep you safe Rachel. You are a daughter to me." She looked up at him.
"Really?" He smiled and nodded. Jazz couldn't help but to smile a bit as well.
"Come 'ere." He held out his servo. She hesitantly moved to him, settling in his servo. he lifted her up to him with a smile. "So Rachel is it?"
"Yeah." She nodded.
"If ya are the daughter of mah spark here, that make ya my sparkling as well?" She blinked in shock.
"What do you say Jazz? Make her an official member of our family?" Prowl asked.
"Really Prowler?" She looked up with a bright grin. Jazz chuckled.
"Yes. You are already so much like Jazz." She stood and lunged, hugging him tightly. He smiled, placing his hand on her back to hold her up.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." She looked up at him with a grin. "Dad." Jazz walked over.
"So tha' makes me your opiluk." The mech smirked. She smiled as they walked from the room, likely to talk about what had gone on while she was missing.
Jason's attention was drawn to Juliet, who was laying on him, her head on his chest. She stirred, turning and accidentally bumping his foot with her own. "Hmm?" She groaned.
"Go back to sleep darling." He kissed her gently and she smiled.
"'M not tired." She snuggled into him and placed a kiss to his jawline. He chuckled at this and sat up, adjusting her to where she was sitting in his lap. She curled up against his chest and yawned.
"Sleep Juliet." With a slight nod she made herself comfortable and slowly dozed off. Jason smiled and brushed her hair back behind her ear. "Goodnight, my Juliet."

Metallicar grimaced as she stretched out, yawning. Sam and Arcee were babysitting the twins and it allowed Dean and Metallicar some time together. Currently Dean was running his thumb along a mark on her protoform, making her shudder each time he brushed along it. Normally her armor hid it, but seeing as it was currently strewn about on the floor, it was left visible.
Dean kissed Metallicar's shoulder, just below one of the numerous scars that were located on her bare 'skin'. It was the first time he had really seen her like this, given how they couldn't afford to let their guard down.
He took the opportunity to look over her protoform, noting it's unique style. It was like a human body. The exception being that her skin was metal that looked and moved like a liquid. Certain spots where the armor didn't fully protect were thick wires and energon lines. Metallicar had explained to him that the protoform when they were still in their carrier's gestation chamber was a metal skeleton with wires and the skin-like substance.
As they grew their individual protoforms changed an adapted as required, usually ended up with the protective layers of wires. It was something that fascinated Dean to no end, especially with how sensitive certain segments of the wires could be.
Once more his thumb grazed the mark, making another shudder run through her. "Baby?" He muttered against her neck.
"Yes Dean?" She whispered.
"What is this?" Her helm turned towards him and he saw her frown.
"It.... It means...." He kissed her, trying to calm her. She lay on her back and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him in return. Once they separated she sighed. "It means I'm cursed." He shook his head.
"I don't believe that. Not for a second."
"You don't know who I was, Dean." He pressed his forehead to hers.
"No. But I know who you are." She looked up at him. "You are Metallicar. You are my sparkmate and the love of my life." She smiled, tugging him down to her.
"I love you Dean." He kissed her again.
"I love you too Metallicar."

Jenny sat by Alice, looking at the barely visible bump under her shirt. She had been fascinated by the woman's stories of hunting before noticing the raise. Alice had chuckled and told Jenny about the infant that would be there in a matter of months. Needless to say the woman was a little curious.
Juliet chuckled as she watched her sister, a hesitant hand laying on Alice's shirt. Optimus smiled before kissing Alice and going to attend to some work that needed finished.
Once all the men were out of the room Jenny sat up. "J-Jules?"
"Yeah Jen?" She bit her lip.
"I.... I need your help." Instantly the older woman worried, noticing that even Alice cast a concerned glance to the girl.
"What's wrong Jenny?" The winged woman sighed, said appendages flicking in irritation.
"It's.... It's about Gabriel." She looked around, making sure she hadn't accidentally called him to her. Once she confirmed that he wasn't in the room she looked back to them. "I feel.... Strange. Whenever I he is near me. As if my spark is leaping from it's housing and into my throat." The two women were silent before simultaneously letting out aww's. Jenny looked confused as Alice wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Jen. Let me explain it this way." She looked to the older woman expectantly as she paused. Juliet rolled her eyes, knowing it was merely for effect and fearing what the woman was going to say. "You've gone and fallen hard for that man." Juliet sighed as Jenny blinked.
"Sweetheart. What Alice means to say is that she thinks you're in love." Jenny paused.
"N-no. He's my best friend. And I-"
"What's the first thing you notice whenever he walks into the room?"
"Honestly?" She asked, making the two women nod. She sighed. "His wings. All six of them in their golden glory."
"Wait. You can see them?" She looked to Alice and nodded.
"You cannot?" Juliet sat by Jenny as well, cross-legged and facing her.
"Jen. You and Silver are the only ones here who can." This made her fall silent and look to the floor.
"I thought you could all see them."
"Nope. You two are special." Alice smiled. "Now. The first thing you notice when he... Let's say picks something up." Jenny thought for a moment before nodding.
"That'd probably be the way his shirt hugs to his arms." Juliet and Alice looked to each other.
"She's got it bad." They chorused, laughing slightly.
"Got what bad?" She blinked in confusion.
"You're in love." A soft whisper came from the doorway, making the trio look up. "Sorry for interrupting. I was walking by and overheard a bit of your conversation."
"It's alright Casidy. Come on in. Join us." Juliet gestured to the open seat.
"Thank you Juliet." She kept her gaze down.
"I still don't blame you Casidy."
"But it's my-"
"Nope. Shush. We're talking about my sister's crush on the archangel." Juliet grinned, making her sibling blush.
"We could talk instead about how many times I've walked into your room to find you and Jason together as well." It was Juliet's turn to blush a bright red, looking to her sister.
"I told him we should lock that door. But he never does." She grumbled.
"No. I do not." Jason appeared behind them, scaring Casidy and Jenny. "Sorry Jenny." He glared at Casidy, making Juliet sigh.
"Jason." He looked to her. "I forgave Casidy. Now quit being an ass and leave her alone." He collapsed in the small space beside Juliet, stealing her away from her sister.
"Very well. But only for you." He smirked, kissing her. Jenny shook her head and looked to Alice, who was chuckling and watching the youngest woman knowingly.
"I do not act like that around Gabriel." She muttered.
"Jenny finally admitting she loves Gabriel?" Jason looked to them.
"I am not!" She defended.
"Shame. You're gonna break his heart." Jenny perked up.
"Why, he say something?" Casidy chuckled.
"Sweetheart."
"Yeah?"
"You're in love." All four chorused. Jenny only groaned.
-
Gabriel lay out on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He had unintentionally overheard what Jenny said and couldn't get himself to calm down. Her kitten lay on his chest, kneading on his shirt. He could hear her purring but was ignoring it.
"Gabriel? Have you seen- Oh. There she is." He looked up to see Jenny walked over and pick the kitten up.
"Hey Jen." He stood. "Wanna go pull some pranks?"
"Pit yeah!"
An hour later found Jenny hiding in the Rec Room, her prank set up in the doorway. She had managed to warn the majority of the base residents without her target finding out. Now all she had to do was wait.
-
Gabriel walked into the Rec Room, looking around. "Jenny?" He called. A second later a large bucket dumped on his head, making him shout in surprise. "Is this... Chocolate?"
Jenny giggled as she watched Gabriel lick chocolate sauce from his arm. She laughed, covering her mouth. Sadly, Gabriel must have heard her, as he turned and snapped his fingers. Her suspicions were confirmed as chocolate syrup began to rain down on her. She giggled, her oversized hoodie soon soaked as she tipped her head back with her mouth open. She savored the taste for a little while before looking to him and grinning.
She ran forwards, tackling the archangel and shocking him so much that he fell back. "Chocolate hugs!" She yelled, hugging him tight. He laughed and managed to stand with her still on him. He hugged back, grinning brightly.
The cloud had followed after her, rain now pouring down on them as Jenny grinned up at him.
"I loved this prank."
"Me too." He whispered to her.
"Only problem is going to be the cleanup." He smirked.
"One of the many benefits of being an angel, darling, is for things like this."
"Really?" She asked before realizing she was still hugging him. She stepped back with a blush. Her gaze fell to her feet, missing the fact that Gabriel too was blushing. He snapped his fingers, all traces of the chocolate gone. Well, mostly, anyways.
"Oops. I missed some." He pointed to her upper lip, where she could feel the messy syrup. She went to clean it away when a pair of soft lips met hers. Whiskey filled her vision before her eyes shut. She could feel Gabriel's arms wrapping around her waist as he pulled her closer.
A moment later they stepped apart, Jenny gasping for air. "That was..."
"Amazingly spectacularly perfect?" She giggled and nodded.
"Something to that effect." She whispered.
Now Jenny was certain, as Gabriel dipped down to kiss her once more, that heaven most definitely tasted like chocolate.
