Chapter 2: Get Use To It!
PREVIOUSLY...
The 'bots have been receiving strange signals from an unknown transformer, so did the 'cons. Megatron and Optimus were both suspicious if it is "HER". Their Suspicions are confirmed when they receive another signal from an Energon mine. 'Cons were unlucky that they didn't notice. However, the Autobots manage to save the femme.
"Everyone," Optimus begins as a young femme enters the base from the ground bridge. "Meet Sirena!"
Sirena plays with her long black braid as she places her other servo on her hip.
Arcee raises an eyebrow, disgusted by the young femme in front of her.
"She is so..." Bulkhead starts, a bit shocked. "Just beautiful!" Smokescreen and Bulkhead say in unison, legs shaky a bit.
"Autobots," Optimus places a servo on Sirena's shoulder. "Make her feel comfortable and welcomed. I am sorry to say Sirena but I must leave for a while, searching for Energon."
Sirena turns to Optimus. "It's ok Optimus but you should be careful around the mines. They are beefing up the security."
"Thank you! Now rest, all of you." Optimus enters the new portal that Ratchet just opened and then he closes the ground bridge after Optimus passed.
"So," Sirena turns to 'bots staring at her. "Where do I sleep? I'm so tired!" She stretches herself.
"Soldier," Ultra Magnus walks up to her.
"It's Sirena, sir." Sirena stops.
"How is the status of your defense and who was your superior commander beside Optimus Prime?"
"I was an assassin at first then promoted to Optimus's third lieutenant. My superior commander other than Optimus Prime was Jetfire."
"I didn't ask of your ranks I asked..." Magnus is loosing his temper.
"When you ask my defense, that doesn't just mean that I only moved on but it includes my rank. I had special training with the combiners such as Silverbolt and Jetfire. Anymore questions "SIR"?"
"Ultra Magnus," Ratchet approaches them. "Please, stop! Sirena please follow me to your quarters." Before Sirena leaves she looks at the others and smiles.
"Is she a siren?" Bumblebee speaks.
"It's just a myth 'Bee." Arcee says.
"But she looks like one!" Bulkhead says.
"It's only her design that she looks like that Bulk, nothing else."
"Don't make a mistake Arcee," Ratchet comes back. "She is a siren."
Everyone wows.
"But how? They were extinct long before the Predacons were on our soil, when Cybertron... when most of it's parts were covered in water!" Arcee has a shocked expression on her face.
"Very few of them survived." Ratchet says simply.
Arcee looks away. However, that night was really hard for her to sleep. Sirena's singing!
She gets up from her bed, walking out of her room. Couldn't Ratchet give the room next to Optimus's to her?!
When she approaches Sirena's room she notices Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Smokescreen leaning against the room's door and listening.
"What is..." Arcee gets shushed by the 'bots. Out of curiosity Arcee listens. She couldn't get any of Sirena's song while in her room. When she listens it was just beautiful...
"...My love will shine for you girl
There are mysteries you may seek
Riddles you may answer
But it's a secret song we speak..."
"It's amazing!" Arcee suggests but to be shushed again.
"...I love you beyond all treasures
You are beauty your own measures
Just like a ruby shining under the blue sea
Corals are colorful strings
That you feel in a key
Just like a ruby shining under the blue sea
Corals are colorful strings
That you feel in a key... in a key..."
"I think we should all just go to sleep. She needs to rest as do..." Bumblebee gets shushed by the others including Arcee.
They are annoyed. When they continue to listen they realize Sirena isn't singing anymore.
On the other side of the door, Sirena is listening to what they are saying...
"Come on she just begun!"
"I told you she is tired."
"What ever... let's go back to our rooms and rest."
"Fine... goodnight guys."
"Nighty night!"
"Sweet dreams."
How many time had she heard him say it, "Sweet dreams!" Many times! Were they real? Maybe yes!
Tomorrow is her birthday but he isn't here, Megatronus isn't here. When she was going to be sixteen on her birthday, Megatronus gave her the best gift ever. Something that made her feel more welcomed...
They were waiting for hours for her father's arrival to celebrate her sixteenth birthday.
"Where were you?" Her mother demanded from her father as he enters the living room. Sirena knew there will be a new argument. She rushes to her room and locks the door until it was over.
"Out!"
"It's midnight!"
"None of your business Star!"
"I'm your SPARKMATE FOR PRIMUS'S SAKE!"
She heard her mother's scream. She storms out of her room, watching as her mother is dragged to her parents bedroom. She knew what will happen and so she knew what must be done. She runs out of their house and into the empty streets of Kaon. It was pouring rain and it made Sirena's hair and armor wet, aside from her tears making her face wet. She didn't know how fast she ran but she found herself in front of her uncle's mansion. She knocks at the door.
A few moments later her aunt opens the door. When she sees the young femme's face she realizes what has happened.
Sunshimmer wakes Alphatron and Megatronus. She leaves with Alphatron to attend to the problem, leaving the young ones alone. Sirena was still crying.
Megatronus wraps a towel round her body. "Come now Sirena, chin up."
Sirena looks at him with sad optics, dripping tears.
"My room is warm. Let's go." Megatronus takes her to his room. Sirena dries her hair quickly. It didn't take her more than five minutes. She sits on his bed. Megatronus brings her a cube of Energon. He empties it inside a glass and offers it to her.
"I'm not hungry." Sadness is clear in her voice.
"But I think you are." Megatronus paused, thinking if she is going to be ok with what is going to happen in the next few minutes. "I have a superise for you."
"What is it?" Sirena's sadness was replaced by curiosity.
"Drink it and I tell you."
She takes the glass drinks it completely. She was about to wipe her lips of the little amount of Energon when another servo wipes her lips. She blushes when Megatronus licks the little Energon on his digits. How old is he again? Twenty two, maybe.
"Happy birthday Sirena!"
"I know," Sirena groans. "Was THAT your superise?!"
"No, your birthday gift."
"What is it?" A smile on her face appears.
"It's not much but..." He was cut off when Sirena wraps her arms around his neck. "It's ok. At least I know you care."
"What do you mean? You know your parents care..."
"If they would they wouldn't fight on simple matters."
Megatronus was quiet.
"I'm no longer a sparkling. I'm old enough to understand everything, including what you are trying to tell me."
Megatronus's face: O.O
She giggles as she places her helm on his chest. Megatronus blushes a deep red and wraps his arm round her small, thin body.
"Sing that little song to me," She closes her blue optics and lies down on his bed. "I'm tired."
Megatronus plays with her hair, taking a breath he starts...
"As you wander, never fear
I'll be right where you are
Everlasting, ever near
Like a beacon for your heart
My love will shine for you girl
There are mysteries you may seek
Riddles you may answer
But it's a secret song we speak
It makes my heart a dancer
I love you beyond all treasures
You are a beauty beyond all measures..."
Miles away on the Nemesis, there goes the lonely leader of the Decepticons. He rarely would sing the song he sang for Sirena.
"Just like a ruby shining
Under the blue sea
Corals are colorful strings
That you feel in a key
Just like a ruby shining
Under the blue sea
Corals are colorful strings
That you feel in a key... in a key..."
It was barely a whisper. His voice has changed by time. It isn't as soft as it used to be.
Location: Autobots' base
Time: 8:00 A.M, Morning sunshine!
It is a weird day for Sirena. Why? Arcee isn't glaring anymore, Optimus was asking about Laurelin, Magnus wasn't ordering anymore, the rest of the bots were staring at her the whole time she was having her Energon. It got weirder when she met the humans. June, an overprotective mother. Reason, she doesn't trust her. Agent Fowler, was asking her question like she is a criminal.
"So you were a 'Con?"
"No! I was just Kaonian, otherwise I wasn't here Agent Fowler!"
"Ok, next... are you single?"
"Excuse me?" Sirena glared at him.
"This is not my fault!" Fowler shouted. "This is the military form. All 'bots filled it!"
"I believe it's enough for now Agent Fowler." Hopefully, Optimus saved her or maybe Agent Fowler! One more question and he was a dead man.
Jack was a bit to quiet but they had a short conversation. He is opposite of Miko! She talks a lot and asks a lot.
"Where did you live? Were you rich? Are you single? If not do you have sparkies, no sparklings? What do you transform into? Arial or ground? How old are you? When is your birthday? Have you..."
"Miko!" Bulkhead cuts her off. "Sirena is our guest. We should make her feel comfortable not to annoy her."
"It's ok Bulk." Sirena sees depression on Miko's face, "Answers Miko..."
Miko jumps with joy.
"Kaon, yes, no, no, I can't transform into a vehicle but I rathered to be an Arial bot, twenty four and today is my birthday. Anymore questions?" Sirena smiles.
"Yeah, are you really a siren?"
"Yes."
"Woah," Raph comes closer to her. He is so cute! "Are they a part of your history?" He asked politely.
"You can say that."
"Miss Sirena," Here comes Magnus! "If you will prove yourself useful I suggest you roll out with Wheeljack, scouting for Energon."
"Yes sir." Sirena doesn't argue.
"But I want to hear the sirens' story!" Miko whines.
"I'll tell you when I come back." Sirena winks at Miko.
"Maybe Optimus Prime didn't point it out but..." Sirena was heading toward the bridge when she turns to Magnes to see what has to say. "We lost a lot of Energon because of you."
Sirena ignores him.
"Ignore him." Wheeljack said. "That's what I do."
"And that's what "I" DO!" Sirena said a bit loud, caring less if Magnus heard her and he did.
She and Wheeljack roll out. He is a good friend, not a chatter box. She and "Jackie" had a lot of fun. He is funny but a lone wolf. He and Arcee will get along in many ways.
However, her life is going to be even more miserable. Not because of the Autobots... ok maybe because of them too. Arcee doesn't like her. Bulkhead, Smokescreen and you can count Bumblebee they were all around her. "What do you need?", "Lets go patrol together/ scouting for Energon/ tracking 'Cons and ... " and many more!
Magnus was all orders and rules. Boring!
Optimus was ok but he is Prime, no time for fun or just like Arcee mentioned "Primes don't party.". Things changed a lot since the war for Cybertron. Ratchet didn't change much so nothing to say about him.
As I said her life is miserable and in her thoughts this will get worse than what it already is. Primus, help her!
(A/N): Sorry for the long wait! Our term exams are near so I'm afraid I can's update for a long time and I apologize. Wish me luck! Comments + Votes = Me :D
