(RID)Drift X Earthbender

Requested by MiylynaCook

I walked up to the giant stack of sheet metal. I've worked for Denny at his junkyard for a good few years. Went Bumblebee and his crew arrived I helped as much as Denny and Russel could. A newcomer had arrived about a week ago. Drift and his mini-cons. I felt the twins walk up behind me. I could tell it's them cuz they aren't as heavy as the bigger bots. I turn to them, "What's up? Can I help you guys?" 

"We actually came to ask if you needed any help," Jetstorm asked. Slipstream nodded. I smiled and shook my head. "No thanks, guys. I got this." The twins shared a look before shrugging. I smiled softly at them. "Do you wanna still hang around?"

Both their faces lit up and nodded. They stood behind me but made sure not to get in my way. They started a conversation with me about Drift. They talked about their life before him and what it was like working with him. I would ask questions while I looked over what I needed to get moved. Suddenly, right when I was about to pick up the first piece of metal, Slipstream asked me something causing me to drop the metal. "Y/n, do you wish to court Master Drift?"

I felt my face turn pink and I spin around to where the two mini cons were sitting. Once they saw me blush they started snickering. I kicked the ground with my right foot and two slabs of earth came up and knocked them both over. They panicked and scrambled to get up. They both started speaking at once. "What on earth was that?!" "How did you do that??"

More questions spilled out of them, them both getting louder attracting attention. When the whole team started to swarm around. Including Drift. Danny and Russel ran in front of the bots. Seeing the bits of earth sticking out of the ground Danny started to laugh. The twins ran and hid behind Drift. He looked down at them, his faceplates mixed with confusion and unamusement.  "What is the meaning of this chaos?" 

"Master, Master! She moved the ground!" Drift looks back at me then at the ground that had been shifted. I shifted my foot back and the ground moved back to the way it was as if it was never disturbed. Drift and the twins made sounds of surprise. Danny was laughing even harder. The team looked at the man as if he'd gone crazy. I rubbed my arm awkwardly. I spoke up shyly. "It's called earthbending."

 "I'm surprised they're just finding this out. You'd think they would have found out by now," Danny cackled. He's known since my first year working here. I sigh and roll my eyes. Curiosity must have hit Drift because he knelt trying to get closer. "What else can you do?" 

I chuckle nervously while my face burn. I hear the twins snicker again. I tap my foot and small squares come up and knock them over. It was my turn to snicker. When I look back up to Drift I start fidgeting with my hands. "I-I can earthbend and th-the other sublevels of earth bending. I can glassbend, mudbend, sandbend, a-and I can seismic sense. I-I can also metalbend. I'm pretty sure I could lavabend but I've not had the chance to try. Obviusly."

Denny made a joke about me always winning as hide and seek when Bumblebee pushed forward, setting a servo on Drifts shoulder and kneels like him. "Wa-wait, rewind. What is seismic sense? A-and metalbend???"

I take a deep breath and nod. "Seismic sense is kinda hard to describe. Um it's basically where I can see with my feet? I can sense vibrations through the ground. I can identify people on the way they walk or tell when they are lying. Uh, metalbending is way different." I spent the rest of the day explaining what and how bending came to be. As the time passed, all the bots and humans were sitting on the ground in front of me. Drift was asking the most questions. Eventually, after being quiet the whole time, Sideswipe spoke up. "Can you show us metalbending?" 

I swallowed thickly. There was no way I would metalbend the bots so I looked around. I pulled my sleeves up and pulled my arm band down to my wrist. I always looked up to the original metalbender so I made an armband like hers. I moved the small metal, it moved almost like a liquid. All the bots made sounds of awe. I moved the and made it spiky before making it look like the autobot emblem. I parted the metal into small sections and turned them all into little starts and moons. I turned them into shards and spun them around. When I was done, I returned the metal to an armband and set it back up my arm. I glanced around, the team all held a look of awe. Drift and the twins, however, had a different look. "Are yall ok?"

"...Scary human," Slipstream mumbled. Jetstorm and Drift nodded. 

(I'm sorry if this wasn't how you imagined it. I did have fun writing this tho.)
