Author's Note: Anya is finally back from vacation! She's going to go over what I've posted for these past two weeks and try and get them to me by Friday. Please be patient as I edit and replace chapters! Anyway, short chapter, not much happening. I apologize in advance. -_-;
Chapter One Hundred Thirty Three: Winter Wildlife
“Can we at least take the chains off?” Sunny asked petulantly as the group all waited for the humans to refit Optimus with his new tire.
“We’ve told you before, it’s better to be safe than sorry,” Bumblebee growled at him, becoming rather fed up with the continuous argument.
“But we have a snowplow now, don’t we?” Sides stated puzzled as he pulled alongside his twin. “It should be fine now, right?”
“Just because we have a snowplow with us doesn’t means that the trip is now going to be safe,” Bumblebee explained to the two. “We still have to be careful.”
“I don’t see the harm in removing the chains however,” Jazz announced as he pulled up beside the younger group. “As long as we’re careful, we should be fine.”
“Still…” Bumblebee sounded hesitant.
“Your call,” Barricade announced indifferently, startling Bumblebee with his decision.
“What?” ‘Bee looked over at the ‘Con surprised. “But I thought-”
“If they want to try driving by themselves again who are we to stop them?” he told the younger mech. “Besides, I was getting rather sick of dragging his cranky aft all over the place anyway.”
“What?” Sunstreaker growled and Sideswipe was instantly by his side and speaking quietly to the surly Lambo.
“Much appreciated,” Jazz laughed. “But really, we’ve now been driving in snow for a while. We’ve got it ‘Bee.”
“If you say so,” ‘Bee agreed reluctantly.
“Perfect,” Jazz chirped. “Hey Ratch’!”
“What?” Ratchet called back distractedly from where he was watching the humans curiously.
“We’re taking off the chains!”
“YES!” the medic instantly shouted, startling Perceptor beside him with the exuberance he showed.
Optimus just chuckled as Will and Epps shook their heads at Ratchet’s joy of the removal of the chain. “Happy I take it?”
“Oh yeah,” Ratchet chirped before he pulled back slightly to look at the larger Decepticon. “No offense Soundwave, but you’re slow pace was driving me crazy!”
“None taken,” Soundwave spoke evenly. “As a larger vehicle, I had to take many more precautions; especially if I was to assist you with your own travels.”
Barricade snickered as he pulled up alongside his fellow ‘Con. “I take it you’re happy with the news as well?”
“Immensely,” Soundwave instantly stated to him quietly so as the majority of the ‘Bots couldn’t hear him. “My rear axle was starting to complain.”
“I hear that,” ‘Bee chuckled from Barricade’s other side. “Still, I would prefer if they took every precaution they can.”
“It’s their choice,” Barricade stated again. “Besides, their husbands should be the ones worried about them and taking care of them. It’s their responsibility, not ours.”
“Considering that their husbands know even less about Earth than Jazz and Ratchet, that’s not comforting,” a new voice announced as Sam wandered over to the smaller group, a frown on his face as he looked between ‘Bee, ‘Cade and Soundwave. “Are we sure that this is a good idea, removing the chains?”
“What can we do about it?” Barricade repeated with a small huff.
Sam frowned as he looked over at where Knight was speaking to Eddie the driver. “Though it shouldn’t be too bad with the snowplow it will still probably be pretty slick.”
“And they’ll just have to learn that on their own,” Barricade chuckled.
“It shouldn’t be as bad as you fear it will Sam,” Soundwave spoke to the worried teenager, surprising Sam at being directly addressed.
“They’ll probably slide into a snow drift but that’s all,” Barricade agreed.
“Still…” Sam began, still not completely reassured.
“They’ll be fine,” Barricade pressed as he looked over at the group of Autobots still talking.
“They’re soldiers for crying out loud,” a deep voice announced with a small huff and Sam looked up to see Megatron stepping down out of Soundwave’s cab, Rumble right behind him along with, surprisingly, Ravage. “They fought us Decepticons time and again; I think they can handle some snow.”
Sam blinked at this as he thought about it. Megatron did have a point. The Autobots were seasoned warriors. They should be able to handle things on their own just fine, but Sam couldn’t help but feel responsible for them considering they knew very little about Earth and it was his home planet. Sam would just have to trust their judgment.
“So what’s going on over here?” a new voice spoke up an Sam jumped a bit in surprise before he turned around to find that Knight had finished his conversation with the snowplow driver and had wandered over to them, looking from Sam to the mechs and back again curiously.
There was a small huff from Frenzy and Sam watched surprised as the bright optics glared at the man for a moment before he turned and stomped back into the large FBI vehicle. Rumble himself looked just as surprised by Frenzy’s antics as he followed his smaller mate up the stairs. Ravage himself simply made his way next to Sam and sat down on his haunches next to the surprised boy. Sam mentally groaned as the mechanical cat simply looked at Agent Knight and gave him a rather toothy grin.
Knight just raised an eyebrow at the display before he shrugged. “Anyway, Eddie says we can leave at any time.”
“Thank you,” Sam nodded gratefully. “When Will and the others are finished and Ratchet gives Optimus the all clear, we’ll leave.”
Knight nodded sharply before he turned and made his way back over to where the older men were still messing about with the tire Miles watching on amused as they argued amongst themselves. Sam simply glanced down at Ravage seated at his feet before he looked up at Rumble and Frenzy reemerging from the large RV. “Okay, what was that all about?”
Frenzy frowned as he looked in the direction the government agent had gone in. “Th-th-that m-m-man is su-su-suspic-ic-icious.”
“Really?” Sam asked surprised, his eyebrows both shooting straight up as he turned back to look at Knight who was watching the others with the tire.
Even Rumble was looking after the man with a deep frown on his face. “Highly suspicious,” he stated as he moved over to Frenzy’s side and pulled the silver mech closer to himself.
“I thought he was nice,” Bumblebee said a bit surprised by the ‘Con’s announcement.
“Exactly,” Barricade growled, startling the Autobot.
Sam glanced at the Mustang puzzled before he looked over at ‘Bee who was also feeling just as confused. “Being nice is cause for suspicion now?” Bumblebee asked stunned.
“If you were a ‘Con, you’d understand,” Ravage hissed as he looked after the human. “Usually when someone is nice, that usually means they want something from you.”
“Oh please,” ‘Bee huffed as he dismissed the cat’s logic. “Some people are just genuinely nice.”
“Not that one,” Rumble shook his head, ensuring that Frenzy stayed close to his side.
Sam frowned as he took in the Decepticon’s stances. Even Soundwave was ensuring that he stayed close to his three subordinates outside and had moved closer after they had gone to stand beside Sam. It was surprising that the ‘Cons were this adamant about their suspicious just based on the fact that Knight was too nice. The boy glanced down and gave Ravage a small pat on the head and was surprised when the large cat leaned against his leg. “We’ll just have to wait and see,” he murmured with a shrug.
“All we can do,” Ravage agreed quietly.
“Well, on the bright side, we may not have to worry about him for too long,” Barricade drawled.
“What do you mean by that?” Bumblebee asked curiously.
“If he keeps leaning over Will’s shoulder like that, Ironhide might just step on him,” Barricade chuckled.
Sam glanced over and was surprised to see that Barricade was right. Knight was leaning over Will’s shoulder in order to see the wheel well and Ironhide was rather close to the group, having nearly pushed the curious Ratchet out of the way to keep a close eye on Will. Knowing the truth about them, Sam was reluctant to admit that Barricade was right. Ironhide was clearly not happy about Knight’s over friendly attitude with Will. "Things just got complicated.”
“So how’s it coming?” Knight asked loudly as he wandered up behind Will and Epps who were holding the tire while Steve directed and Ron made sure that the wheel was going on straight.
Will looked up surprise, nearly dropping his side of the tire before he regained his balance and they continued with the operation. “So far so good,” he told the other man.
“Are you sure it’s not going on backwards?” Ratchet suddenly asked.
Ron looked up surprised as he glanced at the tire. “Is it backwards?”
“I don’t think so,” Steve muttered as he looked the tire over.
“Does it matter which way?” Will frowned.
“Not necessarily,” Knight chuckled as he leaned over Will’s shoulder to look.
Will’s eyes widened surprised as the man was suddenly right behind him, not touching him at all but just inches away from doing so. Will wondered if he could quietly move before Knight noticed what he was doing and if Epps could hold the tire up himself. He looked over at Epps who was also frowning at the close proximity before he saw Epps’ eyes widened as he looked at something behind both Will and Knight. Will cringed as he knew what it was that Epps was looking at.
“Are we ready to go yet?” Ironhide practically snapped as he moved up towards the group, forcing himself between Ratchet and Optimus so he could be closer to the humans.
Epps raised an eyebrow and shot Will a pointed look. Will just frowned at him before he spoke to his angered partner. “We’re fine and almost ready, right guys?” Knight shrugged as he leaned back and Will suddenly felt as if he was able to breathe again as he regained his own personal space.
“I did say we didn’t need to bother,” Optimus announced.
“Rather you had all your tires just in case,” Ratchet told him with a small chuckle.
“I’ve got seventeen other tires, I doubt one would make as much a difference,” Optimus argued playfully and the two began bickering at one another, Knight looking back and forth at them curiously.
“Not to sound too impatient, but are we ready?” Prowl asked exasperated.
“I think we’re almost ready,” Ratchet told him, breaking away from his small banter with Optimus to look over at the annoyed commander.
“Just need to finish tightening these bolts,” Steve announced as he went at them with the wrench. That was when the tool slipped and the wrench managed to get Steve right in the knee. “Damn it!”
Miles hid a small laugh behind his hand before he looked over at Sam approaching with the others. “We’re almost ready,” he snickered before his realized that Sam was being followed. Ravage was standing rather close to his friend and he shot Sam a confused glance. Sam just shrugged before he quickly looked at where the older men were standing and moved next to Miles. “’Cade and the others don’t trust Knight,” he whispered.
“Why?” Miles asked surprised. “He’s not that bad.”
Sam just shrugged again before he looked back at the others as Steve stood up. “We’re ready,” Steve called out.
“Finally!” Wheeljack muttered before he sighed and pulled up alongside the small red mini. “Perceptor, get up, we’re going.”
“What?” Perceptor suddenly asked surprised as he was abruptly jerked out of recharge by Wheeljack’s announcement.
“Oh? Already?” Perceptor asked curiously.
“More like finally,” Sunny huffed. “Let go please!”
“All right, all right,” Optimus chuckled. “Agent Knight, if your driver is ready?”
“Ed said whenever,” Knight told him with a shrug before he turned to Will. “Perhaps we should ride together so as we can go over the preparations needed for when we reach the Arctic.”
“Err…” Will stared at the man stunned before he glanced over at Epps, desperate for any excuse not to ride with the man. Will suddenly felt a presence behind him and he instantly relaxed as he knew who it was instantly.
“Sorry, but he rides with me and there’s no room,” Ironhide growled. “You understand.”
Knight just stared at the black Top Kick. “If you say so,” he relented.
Sam was shaking his head when he suddenly felt a pressure against his leg and he looked down to see Ravage pressing his shoulder against him. “Quickly,” Ravage hissed.
“What?” Sam muttered in surprise but Ravage’s added weight against him threw him off balance and Sam was soon stumbling towards the other cars. Bracing his hand against Barricade’s roof he was surprised when he suddenly felt a hand grab him and pull him into the open doorway. “Meg?” he gaped as dark red optics stared at him. “What’s going on?” Sam looked back outside in time to see Rumble yank on Miles and practically toss him into Bumblebee’s cab with Ravage jumping into the passenger seat while Rumble quickly made his way back to Barricade and dove into the back seat.
Barricade slammed his door just in time as Knight turned to face the group, his mouth already open to ask if he could join them. Barricade was already backing up by this time and ‘Bee, getting over his own shock, was right behind him as Barricade spoke. “So what are we standing around here for?” the ‘Con chuckled. “Let’s go already!”
“Hey! Wait up!” Perceptor called out as ‘Bee and the two ‘Cons were already on the road, clearly not willing to wait any longer.
“You can’t leave us behind!” Sunny and Sides both yelped as they took off after the others.
“Guys! The snowplow has to go first!” Prowl yelped as he too quickly went after the group.
“Prowl, you’re not in front of it too!” Jazz laughed as he watched his husband bypass the said vehicle to get to the others.
“I suppose we should pack up,” Steve laughed as he put the tool kit back into Ratchet’s side compartment.
“It seems that the younger generations are impatient no matter what planet they’re from,” Ron laughed as he turned back to Knight. “You know the way, so you lead.”
Knight blinked at the older Witwicky. “Oh… right,” he nodded and quickly made his way towards the snowplow.
Will and Epps quickly parted as Jazz offered to take the human communications officer, stating that Prowl had absolutely no taste in Earth music. Will gave his friend a sharp nod as he turned and climbed up into Ironhide’s cab. “All right you,” Will frowned as soon as the door was closed. “Care to explain? We have plenty of room.”
“Not for him I don’t,” Ironhide huffed angrily.
Will rolled his eyes as he reached out and pat the steering wheel. “Honestly, there’s nothing to be jealous about.”
“‘Jealous’,” Ironhide repeated the word puzzled before a quick check on the online dictionary had him suddenly sputtering incoherently. “I am not jealous!”
Will just snickered as he sat back in his seat and stretched his arms out in front of him. “If you say so,” he drawled.
“I do say so,” Ironhide huffed annoyed.
Will rolled his eyes before peeking to make sure no one, namely Epps, was looking at them he quickly bent down and dropped a kiss on the Autobot emblem in the center of the steering wheel. Ironhide nearly stopped in the middle of the road in surprise and there was a yelp from behind him. “Watch it!” Optimus yelped as he braked in time for Ironhide to get moving again. “Dang it Ironhide!”
“Sorry,” Ironhide groused, still reeling from the smallest of pressure he had felt on his Autobot emblem.
Will smiled softly as Ironhide pulled over to the side and slowed down slightly so everyone else could get ahead of them. Ratchet slowed as he passed. “You okay?” he asked curiously.
“Yeah, yeah, ‘m good,” Ironhide quickly reassured him. “Just been a long trip.”
Ratchet didn’t seem at all convinced but Wheeljack seemed more than willing to take Ironhide’s word for it. “Ratchet, come on. He said he’s fine.”
Ratchet was still curious but allowed his husband to convince him to move ahead to give Ironhide and Will a bit of privacy. “Just don’t get lost,” Ratchet snickered. “Have fun.”
“Slag it Ratchet!” Ironhide huffed. Ratchet just laughed as he and Wheeljack moved ahead.
Will ducked his blushing face as the others passed them by. “You want to talk about it?” he asked the gunner seriously.
“I’d rather not,” Ironhide huffed.
Will sighed as he pressed himself even further into the seat. “You’re not going to lose me you know,” he told the mech seriously. “You should know that by now.”
“I know…” Ironhide huffed. It was silent for a while before suddenly there was a small chuckle. “But if you showed me…”
“Ironhide!” Will gasped, his blush returning full force but amazingly, he was feeling rather excited. With a glance at the group pulling further ahead of him he looked back down at the dash. “Honestly, I can’t believe I’m doing this,” he muttered as his hands went to his belt. Ironhide just snickered and allowed the others to get even further ahead.
“What was that all about?” Sam demanded as he they watched the snowplow pull ahead of them in order to clear a path and the others were slowly pulling back, allowing everyone their space.
“What was what about?” Barricade asked innocently as they drove behind the plow at a good distance.
“What the slag was with the rush to get out of there?” Bumblebee growled as he pulled even with the ‘Con.
“He was about to force himself into driving along with us,” Megatron spoke aloud. “That is the last thing we need.”
“He was?” Sam asked surprised.
“Indeed,” Rumble frowned. “That human is way too enthusiastic for it to be simple curiosity.”
“I really think that you guys are blowing this way out of proportion,” Sam shook his head as he leaned back in the drivers seat.
“We’re ‘Cons, are you surprised?” Barricade laughed.
“No,” ‘Bee huffed. “But why do I have the cat with me?”
“What’s wrong with me riding with you?” Ravage growled as he lifted his head and scowled at the radio in point of reference.
“Nothing!” ‘Bee sounded surprised. “I’m just surprised.” Ravage let out a small snort as he set his head back down on his paws and settled himself again, trying to get comfortable. He frowned at the bench seat underneath him before he found one spot in particular very interesting.
“Well what does it matter now?” Miles asked with a small sigh. “We’re on our way, finally.”
“That’s the only thing that should matter,” Barricade agreed with the boy.
“Still, we should give that ‘Agent Knight’ as much room as possible,” Megatron announced from where he was stretched out in the passenger seat.
“Especially if we’re to keep you a secret,” Rumble huffed.
“Just one more person to keep an eye out for,” Sam sighed as he sat back. He suddenly blinked in surprise as a thought occurred to him. “Oh slag, all the dew is with Miles and ‘Bee.”
Rumble looked over at the boy incredulously as Megatron let out a bark of laughter. “Figures that’s all you would be worried about.”
Sam just shrugged as he absently looked out at the rearview mirror at the cars behind them. Ironhide was surprisingly absent and Sam blinked as he tried to locate the missing mech. It took him a while before he realized there was a small dark spot way back down the road, following very slowly behind. Sam frowned, wondering if there was a problem before he suddenly blushed, realizing why they were more than likely lagging behind.
It happened so fast that he almost didn’t realize what it was until the sound of breaks squealing, voices shouting and metal crunching did he finally figure out what it was that he was seeing. His entire body cringed in time with the impact and everyone was shouting at once as they all braked in order to give the other mech room. Optimus let loose his horn, either to alert the snowplow of their sudden halt or to scare away the rest of the caribou, Sam wasn’t really sure.
“Oh slag,” Barricade huffed as he pulled along the curb and Bumblebee was right behind them still amazed at what he had seen. His fellow Autobot had slammed into the rather large beast’s legs, propelling it up and over the entire mech as he spun out, slid off the road, and finally came to rest a good distance away from them.
“WHEELJACK!” Ratchet yelped horrified, already transforming before anyone could say a word and running towards the injured mech.
The caribou, who had apparently come down to lick the salt off the road, wasn’t moving and Sam had a deep feeling of dread as he looked at the still figure but he couldn’t go and check the animal as he looked over at the silver car in a panic. He could see his father and Steve already climbing out of the injured mech, looking no worse for wear and Sam breathed a sigh of relief as he met up with Miles and they quickly went after Prowl and Jazz, already running to their friends side.
Ron and Steve quickly gave the medic his space as Ratchet went over the injured mech. “Thank Primus you still wear your hard armor,” Ratchet was saying as he was scanning his partner’s front grill. “Without it, you wouldn’t have made it.”
“Are you guys all right?” Jazz called out as he and Prowl quickly joined them, Miles and Sam right behind.
Sam wasted no time in giving his father a relieved hug before he turned to see what was happening with Wheeljack. “Is he all right?” he asked in a panic.
“Luckily he only hit the animal’s legs. The front bumper is crushed but other than that,” Ratchet shook his head. “You were very, very lucky. And if you ever do anything like that again I will personally ensure that your repair is a long and painful one.” Ratchet leaned over and whapped Wheeljack over the roof before he sat back on his heels, his face twisted into a painful expression as he looked down at his husband.
“I didn’t mean it Ratchet. It was an accident,” Wheeljack stated.
Ratchet frowned as he finally let out a long sigh. “Can you transform?”
“I think so,” Wheeljack told him and after a moment, the engineer was getting up on his own two feet with Jazz and Ratchet helping him.
“Honestly, it’s the younger ones who are usually less careful,” Ratchet huffed.
“Speaking of,” Prowl growled. “What are they doing?”
Sam looked up surprised to see that the Lambo’s had also transformed along with Perceptor and were crowding around the downed animal. He glanced over to see Bumblebee and Barricade also there but neither of his friends had bothered to transform after seeing that Wheeljack was up and clearly all right. He quickly maneuvered his father over towards Barricade and sat his dazed father in the driver’s seat, ensuring that he was okay.
“Well, there went my clean record,” Steve chuckled as he leaned against ‘Bee’s hood. “Twenty years and not one accident.”
“That’s the least of our problems,” Barricade drawled. Steve simply shrugged.
“I think you killed it!” Sunny was saying as Sam and Miles made their way over to the clustered group, Soundwave’s team right behind him.
“Why do I have this sudden urge to fly around it?” Buzzsaw was saying as he stared down at the animal curiously.
“This thing is huge!” Laserbeak gawked at the creature as he landed on one of the young bucks antlers.
“Careful,” Prowl warned with a dark frown. The condor looked completely unrepeated as Miles made his way over to the creature.
“It’s still breathing!” he announced to the surprised group and soon Knight was wandering over, having had to take the time to back the snowplow up after realizing that everyone was stopped.
“I think he has a broken leg,” he stated with a frown.
“Wonderful, so what do we do with it?” Epps frowned at the creature.
“We should get it to a vet in the next town,” Optimus announced from where he was still waiting for everyone on the road.
“But how do we get it there?” Jazz frowned at the large animal. “I doubt we can just put him in the trunk.”
“I’m not strapping him to my roof either!” Bumblebee called out appalled.
“And we can’t put him in the trailer in case he wakes up,” Ratchet nodded.
“I’m not taking him either,” Soundwave announced from where he was beside Optimus.
“We need an open area to put him in,” Perceptor was analyzing the situation.
“HEY! Why’s everyone stopped?” Everyone turned to stare at the black Top Kick as Ironhide quickly pulled back at the sudden looks aimed at him. “What? Why is everyone looking at me like that?”
Jazz just grinned evilly. “I think I have an idea.”
