A long long time ago

I can still remember how

That music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make those people dance

And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver

With every paper I'd deliver

Bad news on the doorstep

I couldn't take one more step

Jenny wrapped her arms around her legs, crying into her knees. She shouldn't have called him. It was trivial, unimportant. She hugged her knees tighter, barely hearing the flutter of wings behind her. "Jenny?" She turned, shocked to already see Gabriel.

"You must not have been far." He shrugged.

"A small beach house in Hawaii is all." She blinked and he sat by her. "What's wrong cupcake?"

"I.... It's stupid." She muttered.

"No it's not." He grabbed her chin and turned her head to look at him. "Remember what I said? Call on me for anything." He emphasized. Unlike when he'd talk to most other women, there was no underlying tone of sexual want. It was pure, unadulterated care that was directed towards another being. He took her hand and looked down, spying brown turning into a mass of colors. She was conflicted, moods spiraling everywhere. He sighed, not having to want to do this as he reached out, pressing towards her mind.

Something slammed down before he could see anything, feeling Jenny tense in his arms as she looked around. He tried again, worming his way around. But the blockade remained steadfast. He hadn't known of anyone who could do that. "Gabriel?" She whispered delicately.

"It's okay Jenny. Now. Tell me why you called me here from my boring day home." She simply smiled and nodded.

Jason glared at Jekyll, Hyde now backing him up. "Your sister?" He stated flatly. "Is that supposed to impress me?!" He spat.

"Put her down and no one gets hurt." Hyde snarled, unaware of the form behind them.

"And what makes you think I will? Especially not with what this stupid bitch did to my Juliet!" His grip tightened, Casidy's breaths mere trickles now. "Tell me why I should let her down!"

"Desist!" A voice called out with a might reserved only for archangels and their Cybertronian equivalents, the Primes. Everyone turned, surprised to find Alice standing there with a shocked Gabriel behind her. She stepped forwards, all who could see her aura taking note how it trickled around her in a terrifying calm. "Jason. Put. Her. Down." She hissed.

"I don't take orders from the likes of you!" He snapped, cutting off Casidy's air supply entirely. Jason was shocked when a force slammed into his side, causing him to drop Casidy. The woman gulped in large breaths of air before crawling to her feet and all but running to the edge of the counter. Jason turned to see that one of Ratchet's largest wrenches had hit him full force in the side. "You little bitch." He hissed. "You'll regret that."

"I don't think so." She spoke, her words commanding the voice of the Primes. A few moments later Optimus walked in, looking down at Alice.

"Sweetspark?" She looked up at him.

"Love. Protect Casidy please?" He nodded.

"Of course Alice." She nodded and, in the next second, hit the ground in a crumpled heap. Jason glared at Optimus.

"Teach that damned mate of yours to control herself before she kills us all!" He snapped. Optimus sent him a glare, taking note of the way his left arm hung limply at his side.

"She will require time over all else for her to understand it." He knelt, scooping her up and cradling him near her spark. "No organic has ever held this gift." Jason sighed, snapping his shoulder back in place.

"Look. You don't know what Casidy did. She-"

"Is the reason Juliet is here. Yes. I know. And Ratchet has been aware of her... Condition, since the day she arrived. He already has a sample of her blood and has been working with it since he got it." Said woman looked to Optimus, a silent thanks playing in her features. Gabriel walked to her as Jekyll and Hyde picked her up.

"Let me get you three out of here." He snapped his fingers, all three of them vanishing as he turned to Jason. "As for you, quit being a bag of dicks."

"Great. Now even the angel has taken their side." He looked up. "And if you knew what she was you'd take my side as well. After all, we can't have one of her kind running around." He hissed.

"This coming from the one sleeping with a vampire!" He glanced over as Castiel entered.

"Say another word against my Juliet and I will kill you slowly and painfully."

"Everyone calm down. We need to step away from each other and go our own ways. Juliet's sudden comatose and Jenny's arrival have taken their tolls on all of us." Optimus reasoned, making the young king scoff.

"That still doesn't account for your mate blowing up the way she did." He growled.

"Alice does not do well with stress. Between tending to Jenny and Juliet she is already worn out enough. That is not accounting for the stress of learning her new status among us and figuring out how to control her new abilities." He looked down at her, his gaze softening. "These are things that I regret I cannot help her with."

Jason saw how tired to Prime was in that moment and let the issue drop. "Fine. But next time I see her near Juliet I will kill her." Optimus frowned.

"Why such a vendetta against a woman you never even met?" He watched as Jason appeared beside Juliet, his shoulders tense as he braced his palms against the metal at the foot of the bed. He faced Juliet, pain visible on his features.

"Because Casidy is a werewolf."

Sam Winchester, Samuel Witwicky, Mikeala Banes, Hot Rod, Wheelie and Wheeljack all stood around a table in the Rec Room. "So... How do we play this poker game?" Hot Rod asked.

"Yeah, I thought poker was something you did with a girl." Wheelie asked, making Mikeala groan.

"Wheelie. Shut up and watch Sam and I." She gestured to the youngest Winchester brother. He had been shuffling the cards for the past few minutes as Mikeala and Samuel had gathered everyone else.

"Alright. Let's do this." He smirked, not noticing as Arcee came up to sit behind him. She watched their game with interest, taking note of how Sam seemed to be holding back.

"Enjoying the game 'Cee?" She looked to Mikeala, who was currently winning.

"In is intriguing. And I am glad to see Hot Rod losing."

"Hey!" The mech shouted as Sam set his cards face down.

"Think you guys can finish this game without me?" Mikeala smirked as all the guys groaned.

"Sure. I got this." She smirked.

"Wow. Getting your afts kicked by a girl. Sounds good to me." Arcee teased before transforming. Sam climbed onto her alt and she left the room.

"Fifty bucks says he's still playing poker."

"Wheelie!" Everyone shouted.

"What?"

Sierra stretched and groaned, shivering as her blanket slipped, cold air hitting bare skin. "Holy slag!" She yelped, diving under the blanket. She heard Soundwave chuckle and rolled her eyes, elbowing him in the side. "Zip it Sounds."

"Sierra: Cold?" He pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her.

"Just a bit. But in my defense this base is fragging freezing at night."

"Time: Noon. Status: No longer night." She rolled her eyes again, displaying her annoyance with her mate.

"Bite me." She muttered. Much to her shock he did exactly that. "It's an expression Sounds!"

"Soundwave: Is aware."

"Why you rotten-" She gut off with a gasp as he bit down on her shoulder once more.

"Sierra: Saying something?" She grinned and he leaned back slightly, eyeing her warily.

"You brought this all on yourself."

Gabriel held the large box in hand as he walked into Jenny's room. The girl was curled up under a blanket, shivering. The archangel adjusted the box and strode over to her. "Oh, Jenny." He spoke in a sing-song voice. "I brought you a present." She turned, eyes bright as she knelt on the bed, sitting back on her legs.

"Really?" He nodded and opened the box, pulling out a gold colored dress that would stop mid-thigh.

"I hope you don't mind. I managed to figure out your size." She gently took the fabric, fingers running along it.

"It's so soft." She breathed, hugging it to her chest.

"Well don't just sit here, go try it on!" He grinned. She stood quickly, a broad smile on her face as she ran to the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. While she was gone Gabriel turned back to the box, smiling at it's contents. A moment later the door opened and he turned, eyes widening as she brushed her tangled and matted hair back. "Wow." She looked up.

"How do I look?" She twirled, making him stare in awe.

"Like an angel." This made her blush. "And I've seen enough to know."

"Aren't you one?" He smirked.

"Archangel sweety. Ready for the next thing?"

"Oh Gabe. You didn't have to get me all of this."

"No. But I-"

"Wanted to." She laughed softly. "Alright. What's next?" He beckoned her over and pulled her to sit on the bed.

"You ever try using a brush?" He asked, gesturing to her hair. She shook her head and looked down. "How old are you and you've never used a brush?"

"Four months." He blinked.

"Haven't used one in four months?" She shook her head.

"No. I'm four months old."

Metallicar looked up to see Gabriel walk into the room. He was obviously tense but the girl behind him made him relax. She wore a black hoodie that stopped at her knees, a pair of gold flats on her feet. Her black hair was brushed through and beautifully braided, making her wonder who did it. She paused, green eyes locking on Metallicar.

Shock flowed through her as she realized this was the very woman they had found a mere two days ago. "Jenny?" She smiled.

"You. You're the one who brought me in from the rain."

"Metallicar." She held out her servo, feeling Jenny's hand wrap around her finger before the taller femme gently shook her hand. "Pleased to meet ya." She nodded, still shy.

"Jenny. Would you mind tell them that you told me?" Gabriel asked. She shrunk down slightly as Dean turned to look at her, Mary and Silver in his lap. Jenny saw them and relaxed slightly. "Come on Jen. You can do this."

She sighed shakily and nodded. "He asked me how old I was. Not directly but he did." She took a deep breath and looked up at the femme. "Four."

"Years?" She shook her head. "Months?" She nodded, making Dean stand. He gently set Mary and Silver on the couch behind him. He walked over and knelt in front of Jenny as she collapsed into a small chair.

"What happened to you?" He asked in a light voice.

"Nexus. She knew Shockwave couldn't do anything until I was older. So she used something and made me age twenty years in one night." She sobbed, shaking violently. Dean hugged her gently.

"Hey, hey. It's okay sweetheart. You're gonna be fine." He whispered, carefully hugging her close. Gabriel walked over, gently taking her from the man.

"Okay Daddy Dean. You can get your own kids now." Jenny looked up.

"Those two are yours?" She whispered.

"Yeah. Do you want to see them?" This elicited a nod as Dean smiled, retrieving his kids. Metallicar sat and watched them, Mary nuzzling against her father's chest as Silver watched Jenny with curious optics. The second he was near enough he reached out, grinning as she took him gently.

"Hello young spark." She smiled at him.

"That's Quicksilver. Or Silver to make things easier." Dean smiled. "And this. This is Mary."

"In case ya couldn't tell, she's the ultimate daddy's girl." Metallicar smiled as Mary fell into a light sleep. Dean was rocking her now, smiling down at her. Metallicar had a lost look in her features as she watched him. Silver chirped, earning a smile from Jenny.

"You are a sweetheart." She laughed. "But I bet you hear that all the time."

Ratchet focused on the computers as he helped shield Jekyll, Hyde and Casidy. He typed quickly, almost missing Casidy's words.

"Kunibert?" Jekyll looked over at the sound of his real name and knelt by his sister.

"Casidy. It's okay, it's okay." She shook her head, crying softly.

"No. No it's all my fault." She shivered.

"What is Sidy?" Hyde looked to the woman.

"Juliet. It's all my fault." She cried.

"Sidy?" Hyde asked.

"I'm the one who bit her."
