United or fall apart

Chapter 4: Tension.

Once everyone was at the old factory, Optimus grabed a metal on the ground then throw it so hard, while yelling in anger. Noah and the woman watch him before looking back to the eagle robot." Who are you anyway?" asked The woman with curiousity on her eyes." My name is Airazor. I am a maximal between past and the future." Airazor introduced herself as she looks at her." what is your name young one?" she asked her softly." My name is Elina." Elina introduced herself.

Leah sigh tiredly as she lean on the wall and slide down before sitting on the ground. She raise both of her hands and hold the side of her head and sigh. "Are you alright?? spider-lily??" Leah look up and saw Elina, who was looking at her, along with everyone else, including Optimus who finally calms down." Yeah, im fine. Dont worry." Leah answered.

"Are you sure?? you literally hurled the bomb away from us when it landed in front of us." Noah asked looking worried at his disguised hero of his best friend." Im fine. Nothing that i can handle. I face much worst than this type of battle." Leah said as she stood up on her feet. Before pulling down her hood and took of her mask, revealing her identity.

"Wha-" Noah was about to tell that someone is here, but Leah raise her hand up to stop him." dont Noah, she will find out eventually if we continued to lie." Leah said as Elina stared at her in shock." Hi, name's Leah Cattrina Manalo Gomez. But you can call me Leah instead." Leah in troduced herself, telling her long ass full name of hers. "Which you also know me as. . . " Leah trailed off as Elina finished it off.

"Spider-Lily." Elina finished in shock as she stared at 27 year old asian woman before her." Yep." Leah said calmly before noticing that everyone was staring at her." are ya done staring at me like your staring a creep or something??" Leah asked in annoyance, making the autobots snap out of it at their stares while Airazor look at her with curious optics." how curious, you are different to every humans here on earth. Tell me Leah, how did you have those powers of yours??" Airazor asked with curiosity tune on her voice.

Leah blink before sighing." Alright, listen carefully all of you cause i will not repeated it all over and over again." Leah said as she looks all of them sternly." Noah knows this since he's my best friend after all." Leah added as everyone look at Noah, who just smile sheepishly at them before they all turn their attention back to Asian woman before them.

Leah takes a deep breath and start speaking.

"Lets start, As you know my name is Leah Cattrina Manalo Gomez, i am from the Philipines before i moved to america with my aunt and uncle after my parents died. I was bitten by a radioactive spider during my field trip day at the age of 14 turning 15. And for the past years, i been one and only spiderwoman or i like to call myself spider-lily. I saved many, many people. Fought bad guys left and right." Leah exlplained before sighing." But i couldn't save my uncle just in time. But for now, i saved everyone else and thats my story." Leah finished as she watch all of them have pity on their eyes or optics.

"Why are you giving that look? stop it." Leah said with a frown making them quickly stop looking at her as they start talking." We lost the transwarp key. Scrouge has it." Optimus said with a frown on his faceplate. 'So the one that i shot my webs name is Scrouge huh? quite fitting name for a terrifying terrorcon.' thought Leah as she jumps and landed on the top of the water tank, crouch down as she watch and listen to their conversation.

"Now scrouge have the transwarp key, what are we going to do now??" Noah asked as he looks at autobots and one maximal." Actually, Scrouge only got the part of the transwarp key." Airazor said making everyone look at the maximal." Im sorry what??" Elina asked in shock." In order to protect the key, we split it into two and hid it somewhere save away from scrouge. I do not know where the second key is hidden." Airazor explained before Elina perk up as she thought something.

"Wait, before the key was stolen, i saw the symbols on the statue that was brought. A statue that looks like you." Elina said as she pulled out some of her notebooks and papers out of her bag as she start flipping through the pages." The symbols i got is similar to this." She then show a picture of a wall painting that looks like maximals are known to many humans.

"I do not know what place are they." Elina said, while frowning as Leah stood up and jumps off the water tank and landed right between Elina and Airazor. "Let me see." Leah said as Elina nodded, still surprise to see her stunt. Leah look at the picture and study it along with the symbols." I think i know what place we'll find the second key." Leah said as she gave the notebook back to Elina.

"Where??" Noah asked as he looks at her." I recognized the paintings. During my time as a college student. Which i am a art student if im not doing hero stuff. The paintings i saw on the picture, is definitely from Peru." Leah answered as Elina look at the picture." That's where we find the second key." Leah finished as she crossed her arms to her chest.

"Then we must go. Autobots, we must get the second key before scrouge does." Optimus said making Noah look at him." Wait what?? Let us go with you." Noah said as he looks at the autobot leader, making Optimus look at him." We cannot rely on a human. Our war is not yours." Optimus said to him making Leah frown and spoke," yet somehow, war always finds a way to drag everyone else." 

Optimus flickered his optics towards to her then back to Noah." Look, that thing. That think is going to eat this planet. Our home planet." Noah said with a frown on his face." We do not trust the humans." Optimus said making Leah let out a sarcastic laugh." funny, you may think humans are bad but not every human is bad Optimus." Leah said as she looks at him with a glared on her face. "Look, i been a hero to this place over 7 years. I seen many people are good. And many are bad. You cannot just judge someone who is bad without getting to know them first." Leah said as she growl lightly.

It was very tense between a cybertronian leader and a asian human woman as they gave each other a stare down." So. . . . . can we help? if they mess with our home. they messes with us." Noah said as he try to break the tension between the two. Leah scoff as she pulled down her mask and her hood." I'm going on patrol. Call me when its time to go Noah." Leah said as Noah nodded before Leah shoot out her web and swing herself away. letting out a thrill of yells that says.'SEE YA MGA PUTA!!' Which made Noah choke while Elina snort as she covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

"Uh, what did she just say??" Mirage asked as he looks at Bumblebee, who just shrugs his shoulder plates, telling him that he didnt know either. Optimus remain silent as he stared at where Leah left.
