TFRID: There's Something About You II

Chapter 5

After a few days, Steeljaw had stayed in the Academy, mostly to recover. During that time Elena was with him all the time. Like chief suggested he stays first on Academy as a recruit and if he behaves, he may even get to go Griffin Rock. Surprisingly Steeljaw has acted well. While staying in the Academy, Heatwave showed some places. Well, not the important ones such as the groundbridge or surveillance center. But Steeljaw didn't seem to mind that. Soon they showed him the workshop and lab he was already doing calculations and tinkering something small. At first, they were worried about what he would make but turns out he made useful stuff. Like mp3 players, stereo systems, and other electronic devices for starters. Kane actually picked one of the mp3 players, when he visited and went back to Griffin Rock. As for other classes he has acted as a normal student, actually better compared to Blurr's first times.

"So, this is your new training simulator?" Steeljaw asked, meaning a huge white room with a huge circle on the floor, a huge screen, and a control panel.

"Yes, since we had to explode the ground bridge, it took most of the damage," Heatwave told.

"And you had to do it, because..."

"So the virus, which was created by an evil scientist, won't get away and infect more machines to its use," Elena said while it comes with one disk, which she gives to Heatwave.

"The test sims are ready." Heatwave informs.

"Good. Set one."

"You want to try?" Steeljaw asks.

"Someone has to," Elena answered.

Heatwave set the first simulation, which is in the forest. By now it looks like animal rescue.

"Why I'm not surprised." Heatwave mumbles.

"What do you mean?" Steeljaw asked.

"She likes nature. But no wonder. According to what we learned she was picked first by the Predacon element of plants. Right in the Griffin Rock." Heatwave explained.

Steeljaw watched as Elena

"That explains a lot..."

"Excuse me?"

"Well... I... many cycles later after she cut her connections with the council, I saw her once with the statues of Primes."

"So, you met her before," Heatwave asked.

"Agh! Just forget it..." Steeljaw growled and planned to leave.

"No, it's okay," Cody said as he entered the room. "It might explain why you remember her."

Steeljaw sighs for defeat. Besides Elena, he has got used to talking to this small human. From what she told, Cody was the one who showed Rescue bots about human society and how things go on Earth. Plus, when he has visited he has explained many things to him.

"As I said, it happened many cycles after she cut her connection to the High council..." Steeljaw started.

*Flashback*

In Cybertron...

Steeljaw was driving in the area. So far, he witnessed another arrest. One bot was taken, just because he didn't have enough shanix to pay for driving "too fast". This was the third time in this cyber-week. And so far, there were many rumors on why Star Supreme left the High Council. Some say she got tired of it, some said her depression got worse. And some, which sound more reasonable, she couldn't take it how they treated her. Sounds reasonable, but it's still a rumor. Besides, she hasn't seen her since, then.
