Terra

The British are coming

The girl in front of me spun around quickly in shock, she blinked slowly at me as I crossed my arms, an eyebrow raised in authoritative curiosity. A small blue bot with a missing arm was next to her looking scared. "I'm here to talk with that guy." She said after a moment, stubbornly. "You mean Cade? When did you meet him?" "Back in the no-go-Zone, my home, and he let my friend die." I continued walking, leading her over to Cade and where Daytrader was. "That doesn't sound like him, we do everything we can to save lives but, I'm assuming your friend is Cybertronian, we've unfortunately seen a lot of death and we can tell when there isn't anything we could do without a Cybertronian medic. There was only one and he was killed three years ago now." I said in a soft tone.

"Where did you get that piece of junk? A knight of Iacon talisman in this dump? Nah, it's not real. Is it? No, definitely not. Give it to me, I'll take it off your hands" "You think I don't know what the hell this is? How valuable? But I know it's something cause it's got you licking your chops. You skank." "Words hurt Cade. There are exactly 7, count them, 7 signs of the apocalypse. And that talisman showing is numero uno. If that fancy pancake was real, I'd grab the spaceship and blow this dirtball planet. Alright, I'm gonna go slather myself in oil. Turn your back Drift, if it offends your sensibilities." "Now that is something you can't unsee." I heard the conversation as I got closer to the gathered males. "You wanna talk to Cade and rant, go ahead, I'm gonna hang here with the bots," I smirked as I looked to see Cade begin to walk away from the cluster to his trailer that was close by.

"Hey, hey mister!" The girl yelled as she ran after Cade. "Oh, this isn't happening! Terra! You can't stay here kid; I have enough strays!" Cade yelled as he continued his brisk pace. "I'm not a kid! I'm useful. I fix shit!" She snapped back. "Well shit, so do I," Cade said sarcastically as she got closer to him. "Better than anyone, jerk. And I have a name, you know. It's Izabella. Izabella with a Z." Izabella said before they were out of my hearing range as I reached the bots.

"Why does it have to so freaking hot here?" I whined as I reached where Bee was standing in the shade of the workshop. Jimmy walked over to me and offer me an ice-cold water bottle. The good thing about being out here where the sun seems to forget it can go away is that solar panels work really well. So after fixing a refrigerator and a freezer, we have all the cold drinks and treats we want. After chilling for a while Bee scooped me up and placed me on the roof of the workshop as Cade came climbing up. It was time for Tessa's call to us. My heart still breaks for her and Cade as he can't ever talk back to her.

I looked at Cade's expression as he dropped the receiver, "Any longer, they'd have snagged our location. You're a hell of a father, Cade. Don't forget it. Hell, my dad never called me." Hound said from next to Cade before he walked away. I reached over and rubbed Cade's back softly. "She is doing alright still Cade. We'll be able to see her again one day soon, I just know it. Go get some dinner and just turn in for the rest of the day. It hasn't been a good one so far, let's not push it anymore." I spoke in a quiet tone, looking at Cade's eyes to see if he agrees.

He just nodded and get up, heading back down to his trailer. Nanos looked up to me as I walked over to where Bee sat on the roof. I sighed heavily as I sat down next to him and smiled down at Nanos. Closing my eyes I leaned to my side until I rested against Bee. "Today has been a really off day," I mutter, eyes still closed as Nanos looked down at Izabella who walked up to him and the other bots. "How much do you weigh? Are you technically considered overweight?" I heard her voice ask; I think it was to Hound as he was the largest. "Ah, no. It's all just my gear. It's like somebody packed 10 pounds of shit in a 5-pound sack." Hound responded; his movement made noise as if he shifted his gear.

"No, he's a chunky Autobot." Crosshair stepped into the conversation. "You wanna stop that?" Hound asked annoyed. Cross must be messing with him physically somehow. While those two argued, I heard Iza as another bot a question. "Hey, how come you don't look like you can change into a car like the others, you look too shiny too." She asked Nanos, that was clear to me as he was pure silver and very shiny. "Um," I heard his voice come out weakly as he wasn't sure how to respond. The arguing bots also didn't know how to respond.
