Hidden Spark on Earth (TFP)

Chapter 30

Little bit of Smuttiness in the Chapter

"Alright, I think that is enough training for today." Fowler stood with his arms folded as Saphira kicked the punching bag. She stumbled backwards suddenly, the man gently caught her shoulders to stop her. She panted heavily, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "Yep, as I suspected, you need to rest. Especially since you have a shift tonight at KO Burger."

Placing her hands on her thighs, Saphira took deep breaths as she worked on calming herself down. "But...I feel like...I still have more to learn." She glanced over her shoulder at Fowler as the man smiled back at her. "Am I wrong?"

"Of course you have more to learn, but you can't learn it all in one day, Saphira." The man walked away to fill a cup with water. "It needs to take one step at a time. What you've learned today will help you defend yourself against another person. And with the weapons I have given you, at least the EMP rifle, you might even be able to use it against a con if needed."

Saphira walked away from the punching bag, walking over to the kitchen as she listened to him. "Were you able to let Ratchet and Optimus know about the weapons?" The man tensed slightly as he filled the cup before the agent turned with a smile. Saphira sighed and rolled her eyes. "William, you do know I will get in trouble if they find out about these things. I should tell them before you leave, that way they are aware about these things."

The man walked over to her with the cup and she takes it to drink it down quickly. "There is no need, I will alert them, Saphira. I was going to tell them earlier, but I just got distracted. I also don't want you to get in trouble with them." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll take the brunt of their anger. But...do be aware they might want at least the EMP rifle to be taken out since it could cause them damage."

Saphira placed the cup down, smiling at Will. "I hope you're telling the truth. I will find out if you have or not." The man chuckled softly with a shrug. "Anyway, I think I'll have a shower and get freshened up, and have the rest of the breakfast I didn't eat."

"That sounds like a good idea." Fowler looked at his watch and nodded. "I have to go anyway. I am very proud of you, Saphira." He smiled at her confidently as she smiled, glad for his help. "I can teach you some new things next week, for now you should focus on what I have taught you today and practice when you can. But don't ever push yourself, you may just hurt..." He paused when the lights dim slightly, startling Saphira and she looked up in surprise. "There aren't any further scraplets are there?"

"No...it might just be leftover damage from the scraplets," Saphira said softly. She looked at him with a smile. "And don't worry, I won't hurt myself. I know for a fact the autobots won't allow me to push myself unless they are in recharge, so there is that. Ratchet would hound me if I did."

The man chuckled softly, nodding in agreement. "That he will." He turned to leave, glancing up at the lights again as he worried the damage from the scraplets could cause long term damage. "Hopefully the bots can fix the damage."

"They will, it will probably just take time. I guess I will see you some other time." The man nodded and gave her a light wave. "And go spend time with your daughter...I would hate to be stealing your time from her."

The man stopped and looked at her, smiling at her. "Do not worry, that is exactly what I am going to do for the rest of the day. You just worry about having a rest. Later."

She watched him leave the room and finished off the water in her cup. She grabbed some clothes and went into the showers to wash off the sweat from her body. Saphira also wanted to know if the autobots had really found an energon deposit, that was really exciting.

She stood in the shower as the lukewarm water flowed onto her skin, washing away the sweat and cooling her body down. She thought about Prime, the impact of his words and what she had said to him in return. She was actually happy he was patient with her, he wasn't angry that she was still confused by her feelings and he gave her the time to figure it out.
