Once we got back at base I got a phone call. I looked at the ID caller and it was Sam.

Ace: "Hey Sam! Still packing to go to college?"

Sam: "Yeah you know me"

I could hear his mom crying in the background and I cringed a bit.

Ace: "I feel bad for your mom"

Sam: "Yeah...Anyway! Are you coming to say bye to me or what?"

Ace: "No shit, I'll be over after I finish some things here"

Sam: "See you then"

I clicked and I made my way next to Will and there we saw our fallen comrades who unfortunately won't be going back to their families.

Soldier: Present Arms!

We all saluted, it was the worst, seeing those who you were close with in caskets. It felt unreal.

Ace: This is the part I hate most.

Will: Me too kiddo.

Epps: I feel you, this shit is the worst.

We then heard a helicopter coming down. Will went to check it out. This man with glasses came shoving a paper to this poor soldier. As he walked he slammed that same paper to Will's chest.

Ace: The fuck. Who the hell does he think he is.

Galloway: You guys made a mess of Shanghai

Epps: Man he's going to rain shit on us

Ace: More specifically the 'bots

We followed him and made it to the hanger. I stood by my brother  and Galloway stared at me.

Galloway: And you are?

Ace: Ace Lennox.

Will: This is my sister.

Galloway: I see, what is a kid like you doing here?

Ace: (Bitch) I work here sir

Will gently gripped my shoulder before I could say anything harsh.

Will: All right, so this is where we communicate with the JCS and this area serves as the Autobots' hangar.

He started to give him a tour and I left and made my way towards Shelby and Jason.

Shelby: What a bitch

Jason: Right.

Will started to talk to General Morshower, then i saw Optimus transformer out of his vehicle mode. I started to make my way towards him.

Epps: You gotta wonder, if God made us in his image, who made him?

Optimus: General, our alliance has countermanded six Decepticon incursions this year, each on a different continent. They're clearly searching around the world for something, but last night's encounter
came with a warning. "The Fallen shall rise again."

Morshower: "The Fallen." Meaning what?

Optimus: Origin unknown. The only recorded history of our race was contained within the AllSpark and lost with its destruction.

Galloway: Excuse me! With this so-called AllSpark
now destroyed, why hasn't the enemy left the planet
like you thought they would?

Ace: (This guy, I swear.)

Optimus turn to him, then he saw me. I started to climb up the ladder with Galloway behind me and Optimus held out his hand out on the ledge for me to get on. He then put me on his shoulder and I made myself comfortable.

Will: Director Galloway, our National Security Advisor. The President just appointed him liaison.

Will rolled his eyes and I had to cover up my laugher.

Morshower: Well, I guess I didn't get that memo.

Morshower did not seem pleased either. I mean it's like having someone in your house that you didn't invite.

Galloway: Forgive the interruption, General. After all the damage in Shanghai, the President is hard-pressed to say the job's getting done. Now, under the classified Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act, you agreed to share your intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry.

Ace: *Whispers* I don't even trust us with their technology.

Optimus looked at me and then looked back at Galloway's annoying ass.

Optimus: We've witnessed your human capacity for war. It would absolutely bring more harm than good.

Galloway: But who are you to judge what's best for us?

Will: With all due respect, we've been fighting side by side in the field for two years.

Ace: Yeah, We've shed blood, sweat and precious metal together.

Galloway: Soldier, you're paid to shoot, not talk.

Ace: *Whispers* Gladly, Target on sight...

Galloway: Also why do you have physical contact with...it. That shouldn't be allowed!

Ace: First of its him not it.

Morshower: I allowed it, the Autobot's especially their leader work greatly with her.

Galloway: *Scoffs* How sad

Ace: You know what's sadder the fact that you probably don't have a fuc-

Optimus looked at me signaling me to stay quiet, I let out a groan. Shelby, Epps and Jason started to laugh and some soldiers had to cover their mouths. Will had to keep his composure and tried not to laugh as well.

Optimus: Easy Ace.

I knew he found it amusing but he is thee Optimus Prime he has to keep his composure.

Galloway: And the newest members of your team I understand they arrived here after you sent a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House.

Morshower: Let me stop you right there, Mr. Galloway. It was vetted right here. And in my experience, the judgment of both Major Lennox and his team has always been above reproach.

Ace: Morshower for the win *Grins*

Galloway: Well, be that as it may, General, it is the position of the President that when our national security is at stake, no one is above reproach. Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified NBE One, aka Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyssal..... And since no one can seem to tell me what the enemy is now after, well, there's only one clear conclusion You! The Autobots! They're here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that? "The Fallen shall rise again"? It sounds to me like something's coming. So, let me ask, if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave peacefully? (I cut it short because I didn't want to bore you with his long dialogue)

Ace: How rude...

Optimus: Freedom is your right. If you make
that request, we will honor it. But before your President decides, please ask him this. What if we leave and you're wrong?

Ace: (Oh shit!)

Will: That's a good question

I looked at my phone at noticed the time. I told Optimus to put me down and he did so and I ran towards me room and and got some clothes. Then I rushed towards the shower. After showering I changed and comb my hair and made a small braid in the side of my head then started to rush out my room.

Will: Where the hell are you going looking like that?!?

Ace: I have a date.

Everyone: HUH?!?

Ace: I'm kidding, Sam leaves for college today and he asked me to come and say goodbye.

Jason: Oh that's right! Send my regards

Shelby: Wow he really won't leave with out you saying bye huh. Well anyway tell him I said bye too!

Will: Ah, Okay then. BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT LIKE THAT! GO CHANGE!

Ace: But why! Nah you can't tell me what to do I'm 19! I'm a adult *Grins*

Will: And I am still still your older brother. *Glares*

Shelby: But she looks cute!

Starfire: Right!

Will: You two are not helping.

Jason: You know, Ace won't back down.

Will: Oh she will, Optimus tell her to go change.

Ace: You're really going to to bring him in?!?

Epps: The big guy probably won't give a flying fuck. Where is he anyway.

Loud stomping was then heard and we turned to see Ironhide and Optimus right next to him.

Optimus: You called me?

Will pointed towards me and both 'bots looked at me.

Ironhide: Where are you going punk.

Ace: I'm going to go to Sams place he's leaving for college but WILL WONT LET ME GO.

Optimus: I see, but why are you dressed up like that

Ace: YOU TOO! This is something casual! Plus it's hot.

Ironhide: I see no problem with it. She looks good.

Will: IRONHIDE!

Ironhide: I didn't mean it like that. She is old enough to make her decision.

Jason: I second that.

Everyone looked at them and Will looked annoyed and let out a groan.

Ace: If it makes you feel better I'll take Ironhide.

Ironhide: Who said I agree to this that.

Shelby: Just take her.

Optimus: It would be for her safety.

Ace: A girl can't look cute anymore!

Will: Fine! Ironhide if anyone tries to go near her do not hesitate to beat their ass!

He started to walk away all grumpy and I let out a sigh.

Ace: At this point I'm never going to get a boyfriend!

Will: YOU DONT NEED ONE! IF YOU WANT A HUG I AM RIGHT HERE!
