Waves of Starlight (TFP fanfic)

Chapter 3

They all got in/on the bots, now in vehicle mode. They drive down a short tunnel that opened up to reveal the desert landscape of Nevada.

They drove almost in a convoy, with Optimus and Valena in front so she could lead them, Jack next to them and all the others behind to protect them from any rear attacks.

Valena drove through the country roads, smiling as she occasionally did a wheelie. They drove through the roads until they came across a large house with a couple of buildings around it. The gates were locked around it, and she had to hop off her bike, walking up to a sensor to get the gate to start opening up. She got back on her bike and rode toward a large hanger, opening automatically on her approach, she parked her bike outside, while there was a large open space in the hanger for the bots.

The vehicles all followed her and drove in, transforming when they were all in. The roof was tall enough so that they could all fit, only Optimus, being the tallest, had to bend his head a bit.

"Woah! This is huge!" Miko yelled as she ran around, he voice echoing around the space.

"This is cool." Jack grinned, looking around

Raf smiled as he looked around. "You must be pretty rich."

"Eh, money isn't everything. I just enjoy the freedom of creativity. Come over here Bee. If you are comfortable laying down, I can use my lift to help me access your vocals a little easier. I also have my tools over here so it will make things easier." Valena spoke. As they looked around to see all of the equipment, there were some projects here and there, including a suit that was located in an area. Any piece of equipment you thought of, she had it. The space she directed Bee to was open and had a lot of room to move, but around the edge there were all her tools and some machines here and there.

He was a bit hesitant, seeing all the stuff but went over and lay down on the space she indicated him to. He patiently waited for her while the kids and bots looked around.

"This place is amazing," Jack said, looking at some of her inventions, "I didn't even know it was possible to build half the stuff you have here. You made all of these?"

"I had some help here and there, but I guess in a way it still kind of was my own." Valena replied, looking at Jack. She walked over to some of her tools and grabbed a few small tools, before she walked over to her lift, that brought her up high enough so she could look at Bee's neck. "I promise to be very gentle Bee." Standing in a small basket that held her up, she reached around his neck, a flashlight in her mouth as she looked.

"Are you certain about this?" Ratchet asked, looking between Optimus and Ratchet.

"This is entirely Bee's decision." Optimus replied.

For about 30 minutes, Valena sat there, a small bit of sweat on her neck as she looked around. Until she finally pulled away. She was so gentle that Bee didn't even feel her messing with anything as she had worked.

Pulling away, she wiped her neck, before having the lift back away from Bee. "Alright, I'm positive that should do it. Give it a little shot Bee." Valena smiled, looking down at him.

"You couldn't possibly have done it that quickly, let alone successfully." Ratchet grumbled.

Valena didn't pay any attention to him, only focused on Bee.

They all crowded around him, eager to see the result. Bumblebee rubbed his neck where she'd fixed it, moving his jaw a bit.

"H-hello?" A hoarse voice spoke, soft from the lack of use over the years. The smiles on everyone's faces became impossibly big as he spoke. They all rushed over, Bulkhead picking him up in a hug and laughing as Arcee and the kids joined as well.
