MERFORMERS (MY AU)

🌊Chapter 10🌊

I'm sorry for the confusion I brought upon a previous chapter with Ultra Magnus being there already. I didn't planned for him to show up this early, until now.
I think it was in Chapter 8.
So I'm sorry for the confusion

🌊🌊🌊

Evee saw the blurry figure she discovered as Optimus swim down to her and the unknown Merformer and pulled him off of her. Soon his strong arms picked her up from the ground and he swam upwards, then he broke through the surface.
Evee coughed terribly, while breathing heavy. Her small head leaned half on Optimus's chest and half on his stomach while her eyes are half open. The leader reached up with one of his big hands, wiping her cheek clean from the water that ran down her face:" Breathe calm, my dear. Everything is alright." Evee's eyes looked up slightly, seeing her guardians calm blue ones. She closed them then, breathing still heavy.

Optimus was worried for her, but angry at the Merformer who had done that to her. He started to speak with a comanding and surely angry voice:" That wasn't necessary, Ultra Magnus." The Merformer looked at the leader, replying with a growl:" Sir, why would you rescue an intruder!? She was never here before, I never have seen her!"

"She is our friend",lectured Optimus the male he had adressed as Ultra Magnus, glaring while holding Evee in his arms," So treat her with respect." 
It was dead quiet. Miko, who was known to be troublesome due stories Jack and Raf told Evee, even looked down, not wanting to meet the Prime's angry gaze. Optimus swam away to his medic Ratchet, who sawm over to them both." Please check her for any injuries, Ratchet." The medic nodded and took Evee into his arms, laying her down on the rock in the "medbay". Ultra Magnus watched his leader swimming past him to Agent Fowler and started to talk with him about the things he had discovered with him on patrol.

"Are you okay, Evee?!" Miko, Raf and Jack came up to her, sitting infront of her and Ratchet. The girl wasn't breathing as hard as she did before, but still was quite shocked." I'm fine",she could manage to say, looking at the kids," It's just the shock..." Ratchet looked at her:" Shock? He could've killed you." She gulped at the medics harsh response." Ratchet, be a bit nicer to her would you",said Miko, making him groan.

"Fine. Fine." He listened to Evee's heartbeat and felt her pulse on her neck:" You're okay now. But rest before you go into the water again alright?" Evee nodded and sat up, swinging her legs over the platform and went outside the water with Ratchet's help. The kids stayed with her, while they walked slowly back to June and Agent Fowler.
"I never saw Ultra Magnus act like this",said Raf.

"That Merformer who almost killed me is named Ultra Magnus? How come I didn't have seen him here before?",asked Evee, clearly sounding like she didn't liked him at all." He was on a mission that took a few days. He was mostly looking for food or-"
"Raf, don't tell her too much. She will know soon",stopped Jack the boy from talking. Evee raised an eyebrow, but decided not to question it.

The kids guardians swam up to them once they sat down close to the water." Are you okay?",asked Bulkhead while Bumblebee chirped softly in worry. Evee smiled and nodded softly:" I am, don't worry."
Arcee crossed her arms infront of her chest as she looked at Optimus, who was joined now by Ultra Magnus while talking to Agent Fowler:" Ultra Magnus is Optimus's student. He trained him years ago before we met Fowler and the kids." Evee rubbed her head:" That explains his quick action to take me down."" Don't take it too personal, kid. He was just using what he was trained to do when there is a threat among the pack."

"But killing dosen't count to that!",yelled Ratchet from the "medbay" as he cleaned the platform Evee was laying previously on. The girl sighed, looking over to her guardian and his student. Her eyes narrowed slightly." She dosen't like him...at all",mumbled Miko to Jack, who also took a small glance at Evee's eyes.

"For one time Miko, I can't disagree with you."

🌊🌊🌊

Some time had eventually passed. Ultra Magnus apologized for his actions, which Evee accepted, but Optimus could sense, aswell as the others, that she still dosen't really like him or reall forgives him for nearly killing her. 

At the very moment, Evee was sitting on one of the rocks half in the water, watching the kids play with the others." Are you alright, dear?",asked her the deep voice of the Prime, who had approached her. Dang, even with the girl sitting on a rock he was still taller then her. WAY taller.
Evee looked up and stared into Optimus's eyes, before she sighed:" I'm fine just...thinking." The Prime sat next to her on the rock, not breaking the eye contact he had on her." About what?",he asked gently, hoping the question didn't stress her. Evee sighed and played with her fingers:" Something happened at work that eats out my thoughts currently."

"I guess human activities?"

"Yes and...no. You see, there were a group of girls. They...made fun of me. Well, of my looks and choice of clothing. They surf a lot near the beach so they are often at the bar I'm working in."" I assume from hearing this, it happens quite often",stated the Prime, looking at her. Evee nodded and sighed. Optimus was confused why other humans such as Evee would do that to her. She is such a kind and sweet girl.
"Do not let that what they say drown you, Evee",called the leader out to her, making her looking up to him," Don't give them the opporunity to weaken you." Evee let the words that came from Optimus sink in slowly. Maybe he was right.

"I will try",she gave him a small smile.

Optimus smiled back and his larg hand layed down on her shoulder to reassure her. Evee didn't minded at all and looked back at the children and the other Autobots." They seem to have fun",she said with a calm voice. 
Optimus followed her stare and nodded in agreement, humming softly. He saw when the girls eyes narrowed when she saw Ultra Magnus in her eyesight." I thought you have forgiven him, Evee",spoke the Prime up confused." I did...",replied Evee," But that dosen't mean I have to like him." Humming once again, Optimus looked down at the girl, who layed back to look to the light of the reflecting water, that was on the ceiling of the rock cave. 

"I wonder what MECH is doing now...."
"How come?"

"Well",Evee looked at her guardian," They suddenly dissapeared after we have escaped. The building was so broken from the water, that they couldn't use it anymore. And suddenly...they were all gone." Optimus had a thoughtful look in his eyes as he memorized Evee's words." The people still speak about it but, none of them knows where they are." 

Silence fell over the two while Optimus kept thinking for a moment before he answered:" I will inform Agent Fowler about this. Thank you for telling me such information, Evee."" You're the leader Optimus. It wouldn't be right hiding something from you",she replied, looking at the Prime with her blueish looking eyes. Optimus smiled. Such honesty. 
Evee smiled back softly before she kept looking up, letting her mind drift elsewhere. In the meantime, Optimus kept staring at her with soft eyes. The girl was so graceful but also fragile. He could tell from her way of being builded, she could things in, that were even shocking for him.

She reminded him of a former Merformer femme he had once known. He was close with her, but she passed away a long time ago in a terrible age of war, that happened in the ocean. Many of his kind had died in this age, family, friends, sisters, brothers...younglings. No one was left without mercy.

He sighed softly at the thoughts that washed over his memories." Optimus?",the thin voice of Evee startled him slightly and he looked at her. Her eyes reflected worry and she had sat up from her previous position. Her small right hand layed on his massive arm as she looked worried up to him:" You look stressed. Are you alright?"
He couldn't help but smile at her worry. She was so caring.
"I'm fine, do not worry",he replied with his deep voice, laying his hand over hers to reassure her. Evee smiled relieved at that before she watched the kids play again. Optimus on the other hand, continued to look at her. 

Perhaps she could help him.
Perhaps she could be his light...
