Optimus slowly opened his eyes, most of his pain had subsided but his body still hurt when he moved. As he lifted his head he noticed a small elderly woman sitting on a chair, she just realized he had woken up. She quickly stood up and put her hand on Optimus's chest, as if telling him not to move. Optimus put his head back down and turned it to the small woman.

"Where am I?... Who are you?" Optimus asked weakly.

"I am Recovery Girl, this is his house." The woman said as she motioned toward a man in all black standing in the corner.

"You can call me Mr. Aizawa" The man stated as he started to walk toward him. "Now, who are you?"

Optimus paused. *I'm human now, I need to be careful not to reveal too much.* "My name is... Orion Pax."

"Orion Pax... huh," Mr. Aizawa said, more to himself than to anyone in particular.

Recovery Girl quickly changed the subject of the conversation. "How are you feeling dear?"

"Better... Thank you... both of you, for helping me." Optimus said.

"How did you get like this in the first place?" Mr. Aizawa asked, with a hint of suspicion in his voice.

Optimus had to think about this. *I can't tell them about the Allspark, let alone about Cybertronians.* "I... fell." he finally responded.

"Must have fallen from a pretty high place to get injuries like that. My quirk will help you heal but it'll zap your energy, I suggest you rest till your wounds fully heal." Stated Recovery Girl. She turned towards Mr. Aizawa. "Keep an eye on the kid Aizawa," she told him before she left. Now it was just Aizawa and Optimus.

Optimus was left with a new question, "What did she mean by 'quirk'?" This question surprised Aizawa. *Did I say something wrong?*

Aizawa finally spoke, "A quirk is something that about 80% of the human population has, a unique ability. Recovery Girl's quirk allows her to amplify and speed up the human body's healing process, but the process uses large amounts of energy from the subject." *A quirk, sounds a lot like what the kids would call a superpower.* Optimus let out a weak chuckle that only seemed to confuse Aizawa even more.

"Who are you?" Aizawa asked. This caught Optimus off guard, "I already told you my name."

Aizawa responded with a look of annoyance, "Your covered in scars, your dog tag has a symbol I've never seen before, and not to mention you had no idea what a quirk was."

"I- huh." Optimus had to think about what to say next. *Wait... dog tag?* Optimus grabbed ahold of something wrapped around his neck, a dog tag, it had the autobot insignia engraved on it. "This symbol is... a drawing of mine I got engraved onto the tag. As for the scars and my lack of knowledge, I have been training myself, away from others."

"Must be some intense training." Aizawa said a bit more calmly than before. "Do you have a quirk?" Optimus became lost in thought before he heard the last part. *Hmm... everything I've learned, I'm still on Earth... but not the Earth I know. Could it be an alternate universe? I've heard of the possibility of universes beyond our own but...* Optimus's thoughts were interrupted by Aizawa. "Did you hear me?"

"Huh... Oh, sorry. What did you say?" Optimus asked slightly embarrassed.

"Do you have a quirk?" Aizawa repeated.

"Hmm... I'm not sure." In truth Optimus really wasn't sure, his body had been made human, there's a good possibility that he indeed has a quirk.
