Through Fire - Optimus x OC

Chapter - 9

"Turn ourselves into these ashes"

I sat in the co-pilot seat behind Fowler as we transported the D.N.G.S. to the rendezvous point. I was in my riding gear since it was comfortable and armored, with Shadow as her necklace.

In the middle of our journey, we started taking fire from a dark green helicopter. Fowler insisted on it being a con. Even though I felt no Energon signature coming from it. We were eventually shot down and left to crash. Giving me a chance to help stabilize the jet as Fowler guided it into a controlled crash.

He then decided to call the Autobots for backup. "Prime!" He yelled over the call. I sighed softly at his tone. "Prime!" He yelled louder causing me to flinch slightly.

"Special Agent Fowler?" Optimus asked, confused, knowing we were both on a mission. "To what do we owe - "he started before Fowler cut off.

"What else? 'Cons! We chased them off with some hard ordnance, but not before they blew us out of the sky." Fowler said, causing me to facepalm.

"Again?" I heard Miko laugh in the background.

"They tried a smash-and-grab for the D.N.G.S." Fowler informed them.

"The... what's it?" I heard Arcee ask, causing me to pop up behind Fowler since I knew more about it.

"Dynamic Nuclear Generation System, a.k.a, D.N.G.S." I informed before rolling my eyes at the name abbreviation. I reached over Fowler pushing a button for the camera to switch to the cargo hold. "It's a prototype energy source we are porting to the coast for testing."

"That's absurd." I heard Ratchet scoff out. "Why would Starscream bother with such primitive technology?" He questioned.

Fowler switched the camera back around. "I'm guessing to make a big fat primitive weapon of mass destruction." Fowler shot back at Ratchet's small insult.

"If this thing were to melt down, it would irradiate this state and the four next door." I told them gravely.

"Uh... did they say which state they were currently in?" I heard Raf ask in the background.

"We are sitting ducks here, Prime. I need you to spin up your bridge and send the D.N.G.S to its destination before the 'cons come back for it." Fowler stated, making my eyes go wide at his insane idea.

"I'm afraid that sending such a volatile device through a ground bridge is out of the question." Optimus was thinking the same thing I was. "If there were to be an accident during its transmission, the radiation of which you speak could propagate through the ground bridge vortex and harm all 50 states... and beyond."

Fowler thought for a second. "You got any better ideas?" He asked before I piped up.

"What if the bots helped us transport it? Optimus is a semi-truck. We could shield the D.N.G.S. in his trailer." I said as Fowler looked at me wide eyed while I looked at Optimus. Already yelling at myself for proposing the idea.

Optimus nodded and went to retrieve said trailer as I sent over our coordinates for Ratchet to send the Autobots to. When they were here, we loaded up the D.N.G.S. and  Arcee in the trailer with it.

Fowler sat in Optimus's driver's side, and I was in the passenger. He was excited and rubbed his hands together at the thought of driving Optimus's vehicle form.

Setting Optimus off as he went to touch the steering wheel. "Ah! No need, Agent Fowler. I will handle the driving." Optimus informed him through the radio. So, he only allows me to drive him? My cheeks turned a little hot at the thought, making me panic slightly.
