Chapter Forty-Eight: Convincing Carol
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were the only mechs still in the courtyard after the others had left to fetch the remaining humans. Everyone else remaining at the base had since meandered back to their hangers. Sides kept an optic glued to the road, searchingly. “When did they say it would get here?” he asked impatiently.
“Sa na,” Sunny muttered. “There really wasn’t a specific time line set for the delivery. And it is coming from across the country so it will probably be a while yet…”
Sides huffed out in irritation. “Well they should go faster…” Sunny just shrugged but when he suddenly straightened, Sides was so startled by the movement he promptly fell backwards on his aft. Sunny showed no notice of his husband’s predicament as he grinned evilly. “He’s here…”
Miles instantly searched the cafeteria for his target and after a quick glance made his way over to a far table. “Have you seen him?” he asked worriedly as he set his tray down, startling the tables ocupant. Mikaela shook her head glumly as she put her sandwich back into her bag.
“No,” she moaned. “And when I went by their house, everything was locked up and there was this huge board covering the living room window.”
“Yeah, I saw that too…” Miles frowned as he picked up his spork and poked at the supposed mac and cheese on his tray. “I’ve been trying to call him too but the house line’s been disconnected…”
“And of course, he doesn’t have a cell phone,” Mikaela groaned.
Miles glanced up at the slouched girl. “Well why would he need a cell phone when all he has to do is ask ‘Bee.”
Mikaela nodded as she leaned back. “Something’s happened, and I think it’s something bad…”
Miles dropped the hybrid cutlery as he jerked his head up in surprise. “You don’t think ‘Bee’s companions found out about Barricade do you?” Mikaela pursed her lips and said nothing, her silence all the answer he needed. “Poor ‘Cade…” he murmured as he went back to poking the assorted mush the school board passed off as real food.
“That does it!” Miles jumped as Mikaela slammed her fist down on the tabletop, startling the few students around them as well. “I’m not sure if my moped can make it, but I’m heading out to the base, tonight!”
“The base?” Miles asked as he began sopping up the small spill of soda Mikaela’s visual emphasis had caused. “You mean the one they commandeered out in the desert?” The girl nodded before she bit into her sandwich, chewing furiously showing just how agitated she really was. Miles frowned as he dropped the soggy napkins next to his tray and took a few moments to force down a few bites. After a bit of silence, Miles finally nodded his head once sharply and set his spork back down. “I’ll go with you,” he said firmly.
Mikaela’s head jerked up in surprise. “What?”
“I’ll go with you,” Miles repeated. “Though… we should probably stop by my house so I can tell my parents I’ll be a bit late…”
“But… you do realize that you haven’t met some of the new arrivals… hell, I haven’t met the new arrivals! I haven’t even met Red yet and he’s been here for almost two months!”
“Does it matter?” Miles asked as he stabbed what he thought was a tater tot. “All that should matter now is Sam and the cars…” he paused suddenly as he glanced back up at Mikaela. “Is that all right to just call ‘em cars? I mean, I can’t go around saying ‘’Bot’ and ‘‘Con’ all the time.”
“Try ‘mechs’,” Mikaela offered before she snagged her applesauce cup with a smirk. “I’ll tell you this much though,” she said grabbing her own plastic cutlery, “if they did anything other than fix him up, they’ll suddenly find themselves with an influx of extra toasters, I can tell you that.”
Miles stared at the girl in shocked horror as she began chuckling madly. Quickly ducking his head and trying his best to pretend he was no way associated with the clearly insane girl before him, he went back to trying to down the rest of his lunch without gagging.
“Now this is what I’m talking about,” Epps sighed as he stretched slightly. “This is how my jeep should run.”
Will just rolled his eyes as he slouched back into his own seat. “Would you at least pretend to be driving?” he asked as Epps leaned back and placed his own hands behind his head.
“What?” Epps muttered as he closed his eyes.
Will sighed as the radio suddenly came to life. “You have a vehicle similar to my alt form?” the Jeep who had hastily been introduced as Hound asked.
“Well, yes and no,” Epps admitted. “I have my own jeep but whether or not it works is another story… you can blame Red and his blasted moat for that.”
“Pardon?” Hound asked surprised.
Will just sighed. “Let’s just say our initial meeting with Red didn’t go as smoothly as it could have.”
“Oh,” Hound replied softly before he spoke back up again. “Is this how all humans get around?”
Will glanced down in surprise and went to answer when Epps beat him to it. “Well, not everyone. Some take the train.”
“Train?” Hound asked as he searched the term. “Like the boxcars that Optimus and the others have scattered around the hangers?”
“Er, something like that,” Will snickered.
“Interesting…” Hound murmured. Epps just gave off a little snore from where he was sleeping and Will prayed that they didn’t get pulled over.
Mikaela had offered to give Miles a ride to his house so he could drop off his books, or rather book, before they headed out to the base to try and find out what had happened to their friends. They had run through a multitude of scenarios in general but whatever happened to Sam and the mechs, had also happened to Judy and Ron since neither of the older Witwicky’s seemed to be in residence at their house either. Miles however didn’t think that the Decepticon they were always talking about, the one who turned into a jet, had anything to do with it. As he had pointed out, there didn’t seem to be any major damage around the house or the surrounding buildings that most assuredly would have happened had this “Starscream” truly attacked.
However that wasn’t what was currently dominating his few thoughts as they drove down the road towards where Miles had indicated his house was. No, right now Miles was thinking up different excuses to tell his parents about why he was going out on a weeknight. Or rather he was trying too that was… ‘She smells so nice,’ he thought from where he was holding onto the seat of Mikaela’s small moped and trying not to lean forward to sniff her hair.
Miles was suddenly forced to do just that however as Mikaela suddenly slammed on the breaks and Miles was propelled forward. His nose slammed in between her shoulder blades. “Wha-? What happened?” he asked as he clutched the tip of his nose trying to see if any blood was coming out of it.
“I don’t believe it,” he heard Mikaela muttered, clearly not speaking to him. “I don’t fucking, god damn believe it!”
“What?” Miles asked trying to peer around her to see what she was looking at. “What don’t you believe?”
Mikaela just growled before she suddenly bellowed. “SAMUEL WITWICKY!”
“Sam?” Miles gasped as he grabbed a hold of Mikaela’s shoulders and practically stood up to get a better view. “It is him!” he cried as he saw the boy exiting what was clearly Optimus in his truck mode. “HEY SAM!” Miles cried out happily. “Where have you been?”
“Miles…” Mikaela suddenly groaned and Miles realized that he had unintentionally shoving the poor girl downwards, forcing her to lean forward over her handlebars.
“Er oops…” he muttered as he quickly jumped off the moped, a blush staining his cheeks as he quickly turned and began heading towards Sam and the large Autobot. Mikaela muttered something before she too dismounted the moped and quickly followed the boy. As they got closer however, both Miles and Mikaela were surprised to see Will and Epps exit an older model jeep parked in front of Optimus, while Sam’s parents exited a blue Nisan something or other… but it looked pretty cool.
Neither Bumblebee nor Barricade however, were anywhere in sight. The two on the small scooter glanced at one another concerned but were surprised when Sam suddenly began jogging towards them and quickly engulfed them into a large hug. “Oh thank Primus! You two are all right!” he sighed in relief as he hugged them tighter.
“Um… dude… mushy stuff…” Miles tried to remind his friend, but Sam just snorted and hugged them tighter.
“I nearly got killed over the weekend; the least you can do is let me hug you.”
Miles stared as Mikaela screeched, “WHAT?” Both boys instantly flinched and moved slightly away from the sputtering girl. “You, what? Killed? By who? The Decepticons? What about Barricade? And where’s ‘Bee? What’s going on? Why is Optimus with you? Why-?” Mikaela suddenly came to a dead halt as she suddenly spied Secretary Keller and some nameless guy exiting Optimus’ cab. “Secretary Keller!” She shouted in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
“Well, it’s kind of a long story,” Sam told them and both instantly whirled around to stare at him in astonishment. “Um… we need to get you guys out of here,” he finally told them.
Mikaela and Miles just continued to gape at him as Judy finally came over. “Perhaps we could discuss in detail’s somewhere other than the middle of the road?” she suggested. “Miles, do you know when your parents will be getting home?”
Miles blinked in surprise but he soon shook his head before nodding. “Mom’s probably out grocery shopping and Dad’s gym should be changing shifts soon…”
Judy nodded before turning to Keller. “Perhaps we should wait outside until they arrive.”
Keller nodded. “Probably the best thing,” he agreed before he turned back around only to find himself almost running smack dab into both his security guards. “What the-? Would you two back off? Geez… can’t even breath unless it’s been checked in triplicate,” he muttered as he headed towards the larger big rig.
Optimus chuckled as the man climbed in. “Problem with your assistants?” he asked.
“Friggin minions… won’t even let me take a leak without standing outside the stupid doorway.” Optimus just snickered.
“You were attacked by Sector Seven?” Mikaela cried out in surprise a few minutes later as they sat around the Lancaster front lawn while the adults mingled in the drive. “I thought they were gone!”
“They are gone,” Sam replied. “This was another sector entirely.”
“And they broke into your house?” Miles let out a low whistle. “That’s deep man.”
Sam slouched. “Tell me about it.”
“So now we have to go live at the base?” Mikaela asked slowly, trying to absorb all this new information her ex was telling her.
“Yeah. Remember the cop at the end of your road that night we got back late?”
Miles stared at Sam uncomprehendingly for a while before his eyes widened in surprise. “You mean it was those people?” Sam just nodded glumly.
Mikaela and Miles both took a few moments to try and sort all of this out when Miles suddenly developed a headache and decided a change in subject was in order. “So… who are the new cars?” he asked jerking his head towards the two new wheels on the block.
Sam blinked in surprise before he turned back to Miles with a rather stunned expression on his face. “You know, I don’t know.”
Mikaela gasped. “WHAT?”
Sam just gave her a small shrug. “What can I say? I was unconscious most of the time and then the whole problem with Prowl and then what to do about ‘Cade… I was just never introduced.”
Mikaela rolled her eyes. “Well, go introduce yourself!” she hissed giving Sam a sudden shove.
“What?” Sam gasped. “By myself?”
Mikaela resisted the urge to whap him upside the head. “You can stare Megatron down without breaking a sweat yet you can’t even just go and introduce yourself?”
Sam shifted nervously but Mikaela had given him yet another shove and Sam staggered to his feet. “Alright already, I’m going…” Mikaela just gave him a small wave of encouragement before she yanked out a textbook and began copying down the glossary. With a sigh, Sam made his way over to where the new jeep and what ‘Bee had told his was a Nisan Enthusiast were parked.
The two had been conversing in Cybertronion, but at his approach all conversation stopped as they watched Sam make his way over. “Um,” Sam began. “Hello. I’m Sam Witwicky…” The two ‘Bots just stared at him. Sam shuffled nervously before he tried again. “Um… I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself before now. You must be really surprised about what’s been going on here on Earth.”
“Surprise doesn’t even begin to cover it,” one of them, the jeep Sam thought, muttered sourly.
“Oh… yeah, it’s a lot to take in…” Sam shuffled nervously.
The blue Nissan was quiet for a moment before he too spoke up. “Did you really kill Megatron?” he demanded.
“Huh?” Sam blinked in surprise. “Um, yeah I did… though it was more a lucky accident than anything else.”
“I don’t believe it!” the blue car continued. “I never would have thought that an alien from another planet would take down the High Lord Protector! He was like one of the top military strategists of all time and this tiny thing just took him down flat!”
“Bluestreak,” the jeep hissed warningly but his companion ignored him as he continued on.
“But can you believe it? I thought that if anyone was going to take him down it would have been Optimus! I mean, they trained together for years and practically knew each other’s moves down pat! To think that this creature with no military training whatsoever took him down is just amazing! And then that they’re actually going to let us regroup here on their tiny planet! And it’s so bizarre that they have liquid that can fall out of the sky, though it was cold though. And those puffs of white are just so incredibly pretty! They look like cotton balls, but how do you get cotton balls to hang in the sky if there’s no string?”
Sam just stared in shock and surprise wondering if he was supposed to answer that last question as all of this had been said in rapid succession without pause. The jeep just sighed again. “You’ll get use to his ramblings,” the jeep told him. “I’m Hound, Autobot tracker and scout, and this here’s Bluestreak, one of the gunner grunts.”
Bluestreak gasped affronted. “I am not a grunt!”
Hound just chuckled as he looked at the blue mech. ‘Maybe not but it got him to finally shut up… seven revolutions of nonstop chatter…’ “By the way young Sam,” he spoke turning to the human, “what do you call those tall brown and green things that line the roadway? Do they serve some purpose?”
Sam blinked. “You mean the trees?”
“Trees?” Hound replied as he glanced around the different yards. “But why are some of them so short?”
“Um… those are bushes…” Sam replied.
“Oh…” Hound murmured and Sam couldn’t help but let out a small smirk.
“Sam! They’re here!”
Sam turned surprised to see Steve and Carol Lancaster pull up in their own large truck, slowing down at the sight of the rather large semi truck parked in front of their mailbox. Quickly murmuring an apology to the two ‘Bots, Sam quickly made his way back over to Miles and Mikaela. Just in time too since Carol didn’t even give Steve a chance to stop the car before she had the door swung open and was making her way over to the small group of people standing on her yard. “Judy!” She called as she jogged over. “What happened? Miles? Are you all right? Did something happen at school? Why didn’t you call me?”
“Get into car collecting?” Steve asked Ron as he wandered over after parking his own car.
Ron just shrugged nonchalantly all the while gracing the other man with a rather sly grin. “Well, my son sure has, that’s for sure.”
“Really?” Steve asked and was about to say something else when his jaw dropped as he saw Keller making his way out of the flame decorated cab. Steve whirled around to stare at Ron but the eldest Witwicky male’s grin just got wider.
“Judy, who are these people?” Carol meanwhile was asking, as she looked both Will and Epps over, taking in their military uniforms with a critical eye. “Why is the military here? What’s going on? Is my baby being drafted?”
“Of a sorts,” Epps muttered rather absently and the reaction was instantaneous.
“YOU ARE NOT TAKING MY BABY!” Carol screamed as she pulled Miles against her side and clung to the boy.
“Mom! … need… air… breath…” She lessened her grip slightly at Miles gasping pleas, much to his relief.
“Carol Lancaster?” Keller spoke calmly and evenly as he approached the distraught woman. Steve was still gaping like a landed carp while his wife turned to give Keller a dark glare.
“And who are you suppose to be?” She demanded.
Keller blinked in surprise as Carol’s arm was suddenly yanked by her husband. “Carol, that’s the Secretary of Defense! The honest-to-god honest Secretary of Defense himself! On our front lawn!”
“I don’t care if he’s the president of Timbuktu! What’s he doing here?”
Keller gave a small snicker as Steve tried to calm his wife down while both Mikaela and Sam tried to pry their friend out of his mother’s grasp. “Um Carol,” Judy inserted herself into the fray, calmly extracting the other woman’s arm from around her son. “Perhaps we should speak inside, hmm? Get a nice cup of coffee and we’ll explain.”
Carol frowned but nodded sharply as she allowed Sam’s mother to steer her into the house followed by Miles and his friends. Steve just watched the women go before he turned and stepped in front of Ron and the military personnel, shooting them a rather amused mocked glare. “Short version?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Keller and the rangers instantly exchanged worried glances wondering how to explain things to someone who had absolutely no knowledge about the Autobots or even Cybertronions in general but they didn’t really have to worry. Ron just grinned at his friend. “You know those rumors about cars turning into giant robots and having a huge battle in Mission City?”
Steve eyed Ron cryptically before he nodded slowly. “Yeah? What about it?”
Ron snickered, trying desperately not to burst out into laughter. “Didn’t you ever wonder why Sam always referred to his car as a ‘him’?”
Steve stared gob smacked for a moment before he suddenly threw back his head and howled with laughter. “You’re kidding me!”
“No, I’m not!” Ron chuckled as Steve gave his shoulder a friendly pound.
“So it was all true? Are they robots too?” he asked pointing at the other three cars who were all sitting at the curb rather too shocked for words. Well, Optimus was shocked beyond words, Blue and Hound, having very little human interaction just watched on in curiosity.
“Yeah.” Ron continued. “Turns out they’re aliens from another planet that got destroyed during their war. Somehow, the leader of the opposite side landed here on Earth and as a result they had their last battle out there in Mission City.”
“I don’t believe it…” Steve chuckled. “Aliens? Driving around disguised as cars? Sounds like something out of a comic book.”
“Yeah,” Ron agreed. “Or a rather bad 80’s TV series. But now they have another problem.”
“Oh?” Steve glanced back to Ron curiously as they went into the house followed by a rather shocked Keller and stunned rangers. “What’s that?”
“The same problem we all have,” Ron shrugged. “The government.”
“The damn bloodsuckers,” Steve muttered. “Oh, present company excluded.” Keller just nodded and waved a hand absently.
“Anyway, they’re targeting Sam so we’ve kind of gone into a relocation program and we’re worried that since Mikaela and Miles know about the Autobots, that’s what they call themselves- that they’ll possibly be targeted too.”
Steve gave a short snort of contempt. “I’d like to see them get past my wife… she’s deadly with a tennis racket.” Ron just laughed.
“You mean someone could possibly come after Miles?” Carol shrieked horrified as she made another lunge for her son. Miles easily sidestepped the grab, clearly use to such an act.
“Carol, please calm down,” Judy tried.
“Calm down?” Carol shrieked. “What do you mean calm down! There are people after my son!”
Judy frowned. “You mean my son!” she snapped angrily. “It’s Sam that they’re after and already tried to kidnap! We’re just worried that they might try to use Miles or Mikaela to get to him!”
“But why?” Carol cried as she slammed her coffee mug down on the Formica counter top. “Why would anyone go after Sam? And why would they try to use Miles to get him? What’s going on? And who are all these people?”
Carol shouted this last question at the top of her lungs as she pointed to the three men situated around her kitchen sipping coffee from the various cat mugs Carol collected. Will had a rather garish pink one that was providing endless amounts of fun for Epps. Will had just bit his tongue and took the girly looking thing in thanks. Ron and Steve had quickly disappeared into the basement strangely enough discussing the different ways to get Steve’s pool table disassembled and into one of the three cars parked out front, but Carol had said nothing about her husband’s lack of interest in the current goings on as the men disappeared down the stairs.
“Carol,” Judy tried soothingly. “I know that this is may come as quite a shock, but I only ask that you be open minded about the whole thing.”
Carol turned to her friend with a dark frown and crossed her arms as she leaned back in her seat. “What thing?” she asked her.
“Mrs. Lancaster,” Keller spoke next as he stepped forward. “I know this is a strange thing to ask, but do you know anything about what happened in Mission City a few months back?”
Carol stared up at the man a little confused. “You mean the incident that was said to have been a gas explosion or something?”
Keller winced. “Er… yeah, that’s the one. Only it wasn’t a gas explosion.”
Carol rolled her eyes. “Tell me something I don’t know already,” she muttered. “Everyone pretty much knows that that was a huge cover up. Something about rumored robots going haywire…”
Sam cringed and ducked his head as Will and Epps both flinched. “Well, something like that…” Keller murmured. “Mrs. Lancaster,” he began seriously. “What do you know about life on other planets?”
Carol just stared at the Secretary of Defense for a long two minutes before she turned to Judy. “You see this is what I’ve been talking about. Obvious delusion within the government.”
Judy sighed. “He’s serious Carol.”
Carol just stared at her friend before she turned to look at Miles. She was shocked to see him nodding solemnly, as were his two friends. Looking back over at the two silent bodyguards that had followed Keller in only to see that they too looked the picture of seriousness as they nodded. She looked back at Judy. “What are you saying?” she asked.
Judy smiled as it looked like Carol was at least willing to listen, before she gave a small nod to Sam. Surprise, Sam glanced at Keller and the rangers uncertainly but unfortunately for him, all three of them were staring straight back at him expectantly. Standing, Judy gave Sam her seat and with a deep breath, Sam turned and faced his best friend’s mother. “It all started when I bought my car…”
Sunny and Sides were in their car form as the large truck ambled down the road. “I can’t wait ‘till it gets here!” Sides chirped. “This is so exciting!”
“I know. This was one of your better ideas, I have to admit,” Sunny responded as he once more checked where everyone else was. Apparently ‘Hide was still in recharge while most of the others were milling around in their own respective hangers. “By the way,” Sunny snickered. “Have you come up with a way for us to actually sign for the thing?”
Dead silence from Sides for a moment. “Slag it! I knew I was forgetting something…”
Sunny just sighed as the driver finally stepped out of the truck and just stared at the base in somewhat abject horror as his temporary partner just stared at the multiple buildings around them. “I really need to find another job,” Todd muttered as he went to the back to get out the latest rather large box, the other man grabbing the other side. Though why this one had holes drilled into it along with external handles was anyone’s guess…
