Through Fire - Optimus x OC

Chapter - 2

"I can feel it in my bones, I can feel it in my bones."

I was shutting my repair shop up for the day, and to go pick up Maddie when Shadow barked, alerting from behind me. "What is it Shadow?" I questioned looking up to see the Peterbilt that I just did yesterday coming back into the parking lot. I hummed wondering what Fowler was doing back here.

"You know, Uncle Will," I called out to him over the engine as it drove up to me slowly, "you could have just called and explained what was happening- "I trailed off as it pulled up beside me opening the driver side door to show no one driving! Shadow stepped in front to protect me.

"I do not mean any harm." A loud deep voice came from within the cap. "But I do advise you to listen before harm does come after you." Shadow was about to growl before I set a hand on her back to stop her.

"I have somewhere I need to be." I said sort of nervously.

"Your little girl is being picked up with Raf, in the Urbana 500 you worked on yesterday, his name is Bumblebee. And you can bring Shadow." He said quieter with his rearview mirror moving to see me and Shadow. Shadow looked at me, her tall black ears going down and back slightly, whining softly in question.

"Okay." I sighed, grabbed my tool bag off the ground, and motioned for Shadow to jump in. Climbing in after Shadow and setting my bag on the passenger side floor, when a seat belt went snuggly around me. My skin felt like it was alive, as electric waves felt like they were going through me once I sat on the seat. "So..." I said to distract myself from the feeling. If I ignore it, it might go away. "What are you? If you don't mind me asking." I asked nervously.

"I will explain in due time. Does Shadow want the window down?" He asked curiously, almost like he didn't know how to talk to me. I look over at Shadow and see she's looking at me patiently.

I smile softly at her. "Yeah, I think she does." Once he sticks the window halfway down, Shadow sticks her head out. Leaving the ride to wherever silent.

We get to a plateau we're the road splits around it, but we keep going straight, almost like we are going to crash. Shadow whines a little but I don't freak out. If he was so inclined for me to come with why just crash us? Once we were close enough to the wall, it opened, allowing us to drive through a tunnel before opening up to a very large room.

Two other robots that I didn't meet yesterday were standing in front of the kids. One was green like the SUV and the other was white and with orange accents almost snapping a heartbeat on his arm. There was another human girl, looking about 15 years old with dark brown hair that was tipped a pink color in a hairstyle of two buns and a low ponytail. She was wearing almost pink rock-looking clothing. And a teddy bear hanging from her belt.

Optimus Prime told me on the drive over, stopped to allow me to get out where the other kids were. Grabbing my tool bag out and Shadow hopping out after me, allowed him to transform as the other kids watched him.

Once he was done, he looked down at us to speak. "We are autonomous robotic organisms. From the planet of Cybertron. Also known as Autobots." Maddie stepped closer to me for my arm to wrap around her shoulders with Shadow stepping over toward her to say hi.

Jack stepped forward once Optimus was done. "Why are you here?"

"To protect your planet from the Decepticons." Optimus said gravely, glancing at me after he said that.

"The jokers who tried to bump us off last night." Arcee told us.

"Okay..." Jack mumbled, still a little confused.
