Transformers Revenge of The Fallen: Descendant's Fortune

Chapter 18.

I held onto my seatbelt tightly on the entire trip to Washington. Leo and Mikaela sat beside me in the backseat, again, too close for comfort, but there was nothing I could do about it. The ride was very long, longer than the other two trips I've had so far within a little over a day.
Only a whole day and a half and so much has happened. I was tired as I leaned against the interior of Bee's door and watched humans and buildings pass across the many miles we travelled. I counted everything I saw, almost like counting sheep, but any thoughts of sleeping was not as important as my thoughts for my mission.
I wanted to think about home back at the base, to think about the other Autobots and wondered if they missed me as much as I missed them. I definitely had missed Sideswipe and the Arcee triplets and their interesting tales and talks we'd have. How they would chase me around the hangar and we'd pretend to battle as part of training. To me it was mostly just a game, but I loved every bit of it. I think they did, too.
Who I missed the most was Uncle Ratchet and Uncle Ironhide. I genuinely wished I had them here for advice, or just to have them by my side. I wished Ratchet would know how to heal the pain I've been experiencing and I wished Ironhide would make me punch or blast everything inconvenient away.

Yet, I had no one. Not right now. I wish I could go back and look for them. I wonder if they started looking for me, too. Why wouldn't they? Oh...right. The humans. They wouldn't let them. However, I know they would try every chance they get. They care about me, too. They have to. The time we had together and experiences we shared couldn't have been all for nothing. It had to mean something, right?

I stopped thinking about my family before I got worked up and wondered about our destination. Which was some museum full of very old historical human artifiacts and treasures. We formulated a plan to bust in past security so that Wheels could lead us to the closest Seeker we needed to talk to for answers. Before I knew it, we rolled into a big, and mostly empty, parking lot.
Most of the human tourists left, some stragglers were just leaving as the place was about to close soon within the hour. Once Bumblebee parked, we all climbed out to observe very carefully.
"Smithsonian Air and Space Museum." Simmons said, looking through some binoculars, he packed with him.
He turned around and grabbed his supplies from the trunk and handed everyone what they needed. Simmons' smuggled stash of Energon readers and some tasers. I had mine already, since IronLuck and my pack full of some snacks was all I had.
"Let's go."

*****

About half an hour goes by as we had snuck in and placed ourselves among the attractions to blend in and hide. Simmons and Leo were to do recon and take out any security while Sam, Mikaela, and I hide until the coast was clear.
We all hid among the airplanes in the aviation room. Sam and Mikaela hid in dark empty cravices under the wings, while I hid under and behind the landing gear. I was tiny enough that even if I sat between the tires on the floor, not even the biggest adult, or bot, would spot me. It was like playing hide and seek with the Autobots back at base. Thanks Uncle Ironhide, your training has proven itself. You'd be proud.
Once the coast was clear, we all scrambled out and began to set up our search. Simmons came out dragging Leo on the floor and dropping him there.
"What happened?" I asked curiously.
"Kid got grabby with one of the tasers." Simmons sighed. "But, we downed a few guards, that's it."

"Dumbass." I insulted sarcastically as a twitching Leo could only glare at me in frustration.

Simmons scrambled towards Sam and grabbed his Radioactive-Energon tracker, while Sam went through his bag to grab a piece of material out of a small canister.
The AllSpark.
I had almost forgotten he had a piece to himself and he told us on the trip here that he gave it to Mikaela to hide it. She had brought it back, along with her Decepticon captive, to bring the plan into motion. We all agreed upon it on the way here.
Meanwhile, Wheels was to lead us to the Seeker, who may be in stasis and the piece of the AllSpark was to revive them. Then we are to get what we need of answers and go from there.
I wielded IronLuck and nod to Mikaela as she then brought out her toolbox and unlocked it's contents. Wheels popped out, seemingly in a panic as the lid opened.
