Gwain-Prime Saga (Gwain Saga/Transformers Prime)

Chapter 11: Colleagues

As the sun shone through the windows of the lookout tower in Den City, a man about in his mid-40's, having short-cut hair that's silver white despite his adult youth, medium-tall height, and completely built in muscular strength, walked along the hallways, having brushed his teeth. He had been sleeping on a couch with just a blanket, having been promised by his fellow roommates, who were much younger than him, that they would get him a new bed shortly and have ordered one for shipping. The man wore a tight yet somehow comfortable thin blue plain t-shirt. He also wore jeans, having been used to sleeping in them back during his time during his time in deployment as a soldier.

Clint Jackson, being that former soldier, now with the occupation as an officer originally serving for the sake of protecting other people, is now under the obligation of being one but under the condition that if he were to fail, the Queen of Gwain, her name also being Gwain, would personally execute him. Although it is most likely up to debate whether the Queen herself would execute him with her powerful abilities with no foreseen weakness, since she has learned of Clint's own past and somewhat understands his personal pain.

As Clint walks down the hallway thinking about breakfast once again at 7 am in the morning, he decides to wonder about new things, such as how everyone was doing. For some reason, his first thoughts were on the queen. Now of course he felt nerve-wracked that he could be killed at any second, but he also thought back to what happened 2 days ago. He remembered having flashbacks to his past once again in his sleep, then waking up to see the queen inspect him like a drill sergeant, then what was it? Oh yes. She stole his first kiss. And either she was mocking him, or felt pity in her motherly heart. But he does know that she somehow managed to read his memories So maybe there's a chance that he could live, as long as he somehow and in some way gets on her good side. Now how to do that? Go on a date?

"Hell no," he thought, "she'll reject me anyways, if not kill me on the spot for embarrassing her..."

Just then, he heard his roommates shuffling through the hallways, who just so happen to be college boys. As Jack walks into the kitchen, he sees Clint staring off into the distance. He wonders what it could be that he was thinking of.

"Home, perhaps?"

But it obviously wasn't. And just then, the last of the "treehouse boys" showed up, sporting medium-length white hair wearing his usual groggy morning expression and headed towards the kitchen for some water.

As the men did their usual things in silence, a knock on the door was then heard about 10 minutes later, then the door opened. A girl with long pink hair and eyes, wearing a simple white dress, shoes, and a headband with moving mechanical cat ears. She walks over to Geo, who was now sitting at the couch playing with what looked like an alternate, more modern version of a Gameboy and sat next to him, watching him play while leaning on his shoulder, which Geo did not seem to mind at all, as he seemed too busy focusing on whatever he was playing.

And just as Clint was drinking his morning coffee, which he was able to make by finding a coffee machine and figuring out how it worked, he got a static signal from his radio, which laid on the dinner table. Picking it up, he asks,

"What's the situation, Prowl?"

To which an answer replied,

"Nothing much, other than that the queen gave us both orders to escort Princess Ami to Gwain College, wherever that is..."

Clint turned to the young adults on the couch and inquired,

"Hey you two, it's school time, I believe."

Ami stood up immediately, nodding, then rushing over to the nearest bedroom, which just so happened to be Geo's. A few minutes later she popped out, wearing what appeared to be an entire school uniform attire. Geo looked up and smiled. It was go-time.
