A bit later the school let's out and Mikaela runs to me and gets inside, "Oh my God, that Sam kid is so fucking weird, he tries selling a bunch of old crap to the classroom today." Mikaela groaned as she put her seatbelt on.
"Mikaela, wave Sam down and buy the glasses from him." I tell her quickly realizing cannon is about to start much sooner than I thought.
"Uhh…okay." Mikaela answered me back with a bit of a question in her voice but chased down Sam just as his dad was pulling up in the little shit box he drives.
'Fifty bucks and I secure the location of the All-Spark, heh, Americans and their capitalistic society.' I expressed as Mikaela ran back over to me with a dazed San standing back by his father's car with his tongue hanging out panting.
'Filthy animal, get your eyes off of my girl before I vaporize you.' I felt a snap of possessiveness and extreme hostility towards Sam.
"So want to tell me why you want some shitty scratched glasses?" Mikaela asked me sassily as she put her seatbelt back on.
"It is a map to where the All-Spark is. I am protecting Samuel Witwicky from being drawn into the conflict taking place amongst my species that is about to explode in activity here on earth." I replied to Mikaela who tensed up immediately hearing my answer to her question.
"I-I didn't realize it was…" Mikaela stuttered in a dazed way as she started to tremble.
"You didn't believe it was real…" I muttered and wrapped Mikaela in a hug while darkening my windshield to hide her breakdown from possible observers.
"I-is there anywhere…is there anywhere where you and I could go and be safe? I don't want to lose you Guardian." Mikaela's voice is so soft and trembled so much as she spoke I wished I had asked Primus for a pocket dimension where I could send people human and bot alike to keep them safe and away from the war.
"I'm sorry Mikaela, I never should have involved you." I apologized feeling guilt stricken only for Mikaela to punch my headunit.
"Don't you dare apologize to me for coming into my life, I've never felt happier than the time I've spent with you!" Mikaela practically screamed at me.
'That's not saying much, you're only going to turn 19 in a couple of months…' Is the thought that passed through my logic sensors.
Mikaela started to full on sobbing, "You don't love me anymore." I heard her murmuring and I formed my human form inside of the cabin and pulled Mikaela into my lap. She tried to get away but I held her firm and titled her chin so that she could look into my optics, but Mikaela being stubborn kept her eyes clenched shut.
"I love you more than you or I can quantumfy…my love is older than this mudball you call a home planet, I've waited for you for so long I should have turned to dust by now." I murmured trying to sound like a romantic eons old robot but it sounded corny as hell.
But Mikaela perks up and cracks open her eyes, presses herself fully against me, "Do you really mean that?" Mikaela asked me in a tender raw voice.
"Of course I do…I am very much head over heels in love with you Mikaela Banes." I confessed my human life crush on her was only a drop in the bucket compared to my vast ocean like feelings as an ancient cybertronian.
"Can you do that armor thing so I can fight with you against the bad guys or make me one of those cool mecha things like in Gundam?" Mikaela finally asked me after a while of snuggling.
"I honestly have no idea if I can make mobile power armor for you…if my sister was here she could…or if I had her forge…but I have no idea where that is." I muttered and Mikaela is obviously intrigued by the mentioning of my sister Solaris Prime.
"Your sister…you could tell me about your siblings, you don't really talk about them." Mikaela murmured softly almost experimentally.
"I guess it's because I'm bitter, they abandoned me to run Cybertron on my own…well if you don't count Quintessa that is. I always thought it would be all of us together working to make sure Cybertron prospered forever then…then they were just gone." I answered her back, a long held heartache rushed to the surface knowing that one of my own siblings led to the death of at least one and the self-sacrifice of the others.
Why they allowed Megatrounos to convince them to set up the energon harvester on what accounts the dust and debris surrounding Unicron escapes me.
'And another thing Energon Harvester is such a misleading name as the harvester is more of an energy converted by design it harvest solar energy and converts it to unstable energon and then through a very inefficient process turns the unstable energon to liquid Energon which then can be converted into crystalist form or energon cubes…the secondary effect of the Harvester is when the sun that is being depleted energy drain starts to taper off it fires a concentrated burst of Energon at said sun's core causing it to explode…it was originally a weapon Solaris designed to try and destroy Unicron…but Unicron eats suns just as easily as he eats planets.' I expressed angrily in my thoughts and realized that my human form is breathing heavily like I am in the verge of a meltdown.
"Guardian, what's wrong…talk to me…please." Mikaela's soft concerned voice pulled me out of my emotionally turbulent state.
"I-I just miss my siblings as much as I hate them for being so fucking stupid!" I cursed and Mikaela hugged my face to her chest and started running her fingers through my replicated hair.
"It's okay to feel that way…I hated my dad after he went to prison and left me alone." Mikaela murmured softly and I could tell that this was a deep dark secret that she had never shared with anyone before.
"Your siblings left you alone with the responsibility to protect and raise trillions of beings…it's normal that you resent them on some level even when you still love and miss them." Mikaela continued to murmur in such a levelheaded and heartfelt way it was very hard not to see things her way.
"Thanks Mikaela, now let's drop a bread crumb to that little Autobot scout…he's a cute kid his Dame used to patch me up." I said to Mikaela a sharp pain of guilt in my spark at remembering Z-127 who liked to be called Zee be torn apart by Sharkticons, while I scanned the map laser etched into the glasses and sent Bumblebee a portion of the map.
"Guardian…you sound like you're adopting a puppy…your voice gets all cute and…eee!" Mikaela started to tease me and I ticked her side while letting a very cold tentacle graze the back of her neck.
"Jerk!" Mikaela muttered as she slid back behind my wheel a soft little grin on her face.
