Miko x Reader

Chapter 5

   We had just started on our way to 'base' when I got a call from Jack. "Oohh~ can I answer? Can I? Can I?" Miko saw who was calling and began reaching for the phone. I hand it to her, not thinking anything of it. "Heya Jack!- Yeah, we're gonna be running a little late- why? Jill had to stitch her leg back up-" "M-Miko-" "you didn't know...?"

   Miko then looks over at me, both hands covering my face. "Oopsie... haha" She then looks back at the road in front of us. "Uh, Jack, we'll be there soon. Bye!" "Wait Miko-" click she hung up.

   "Miko, are you serious?" Bulkhead started. "You can't just tell other people's business like that. Apologize." "I already did-" Then we went off-road. "Oooohh, we're getting close! Are you excited?" She looked back at me with a glimmer in her eyes. "Mhm" I responded. "You aren't really a talker are you?" Bulkhead asked. I shook my head.

   A few minutes later, Bulkhead had started the music back up. Wasn't half bad honestly. Miko began headbanging and they both were singing along to the song. You let out a little giggle when Miko accidentally hit her head on 'Bulk's dashboard. They both stopped singing and I could hear the music turned down, so I looked up at Miko. "Woah..." I gave her a confused look "what..?" "I've never heard you laugh! It's so cute!" I started blushing again.

   "We'll we're almost there, see that rock?" Miko then points at a giant rock and I look at it, slightly squinting my eyes, nodding my head. "That's base" I then look over to my hideout which isn't that far. "Hm" I was a little surprised. When we got close the wall came up and we went into a big hallway. "Woah..." my eyes glimmered with curiosity and wonder.

   When we pulled in there was Arcee and Jack. Then I looked over and saw that there was a Orange and White 'bot, taller than Arcee. Me and Miko got out and Bulkhead transformed into a robot as well. I also saw Raf with a Yellow and Black robot. I did a 360 taking it all in. "Cool, huh?" I nodded a bit. Then a red and blue robot came in, this one was way taller than the rest. He kneels down in an attempt to get down to my height.

   "Hello Jillian Darby, I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. Over here is Ratchet, our medic. I believe you have already met Arcee and Bulkhead. Over here is Bumblebee, our scout. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron. Better known as Autobots. We came to your planet to protect human kind from Decepticons. The former leader, Megatron, was like a brother to me. He parished trying to bring an army of our undead brothers through a space bridge. We managed to stop him before doing so. Now their leader Starscream is attempting to take over your planet and take all of the Energon. Our fuel and life force. Do you have any questions?"

   That's a lot to take in, so I think for a moment, shaking my head. "Are you positive? I'll be happy to answer any more questions you have." I think for a moment coming up with one. "What's your favorite place on Earth so far?" He was surprised by the question. "I'm not sure. I suppose here in Jasper, it is the home we have come to know." I was pleased with the answer and nod my head.

   "You need a guardian." I looked up at him confused. "Why would I need a guardian?" He stood up, still looking down at me. "Now that you will be associated with us, the Decepticons will be after you as well." Ratchet seemed to freeze up. "Optimus, you can't expect me to have a charge. I have too many responsibilities-" Optimus held up a hand. "I cannot be her guardian. I'm too much of a target, it will bring Jillian more harm than good. Jillian." He directed the conversation to me. "Ratchet will be your guardian." Then he walked off.

   I looked up at Ratchet and waved, he rolled his eyes, turned, and left. Ok, that's OK. I turned and saw that Bulkhead carefully placed my project on the platform near where Ratchet was working. I went up the stairs and emptied the boxes, starting back up on my project.
