Namesake

Namesake - Ten

          Over the last two months, Alice had learned a lot about the Autobots. 'Bee, Siders, and Jazz in particular. It was for this reason Alice was standing in front of Siders' twin Sunstreaker, staring up at him.

"Listen Sunstreaker," said 'bot's optics narrowed, "I know you don't like that I'm a worthless flesh bag that isn't worth your time I—" She was cut off by Sunstreaker.

"Wrong." Alice stared. "You, unlike most of your fleshbag race, have earned my respect." Well, groundbreaking news everyone, Sunstreaker didn't hate her. She blinked before a grin tugged at her lips.

"It's good to know I was wrong then. Anyhoo, Siders requests you come duel me in GTA V in the rec room. He's mad that he can't beat me." Sunstreaker chuckled, a deep, free sounding noise.

"And since I'm technically his other half, he beats you if I beat you." Alice nodded. Sighing, the mech picked her up.

"Aren't you worried I'll get my organic liquids on you?" Sunstreaker scoffed.

"The only thing you produce is spit, and if you spit on me, I will drop you." Alice shrugged her shoulders.

"Fair enough." They made it to the rec room soon after, the sight of a pouting Siders greeting them.

"Avenge me." Siders stated, looking at Sunstreaker. The golden bot vented.

"You're so childish Sides." Sunstreaker muttered. The aforementioned 'bot just stared at him unrepentantly.

"Fine." And that's how ten minutes later, Sunstreaker was also clueless on how a mere human defeated his extremely quick processor.

"Alice, don't you dare—"

"Oh, I dare."

"Sunny! How can you be losing?"

"Oh shut up Sideswipe. Alice, please, mercy!"

"How are you even doing that?"

"I dunno actually. This is only my second time playing."

"What?!"

"Alice, get away from the jet."

"I'm already in it."

"Crash it then."

"Okay."

"ALICE."

"You said crash it."

"But how come you're alive?"

". . .I parachuted."

"Damn loopholes."

"Sunny, behind you!"

"The sweet sounds of victorious explosions."

"Oh my Primus do not touch that tank—"

"Boom. And that's another kill for me."

"How are you even—"

"Found you."

"Alice, what the Pit?!"

"And pistol whipped. Get dunked on."

"Guys?" Two helms and one head whipped around in the direction of the voice. Alice waved cheerfully.

"Hey Bluestreak." The blue 'bot looked at them worriedly.

"Are you guys okay?" Alice bobbed her head.

"Yeah. Just playing GTA V," Bluestreak looked relieved, "Wait a second. You're a sniper right?" The younger 'bot nodded nervously. Alice grinned.

"Then I claim you as my teammate. Get over here and help me beat these two up." Bluestreak walked over sitting on the Autobot sized couch in the area next to her position on said couch's back. Round two began after a few minutes.

"Blue throw the malatov!"

"Aw c'mon! How are you guys even doing this?"

"Sunny's next to the VINEWOOD sign Alice, move in."

"Blue I fucked up, the sign's on fire and he—"

"WHAT?!"

"Is dead. Cool."

"Sides don't go in there!"

"Welcome to the warehouse of death Siders. Enjoy."

"Alice can you please just not?"

"Read my lips motherfucker."

"Alice I found the military base."

"Great! Let's go get those jets!"

"Sunny get that rocket launcher!"

"Ambush!"

"Ya know, I think that's the first time you killed Blue, Siders."

"Stop blowing up the pier!"

"There is no longer any pier left to blow up."

"Hah! I finally got my sticky-bomb stuck to your car!"

"But am I in the car?"

"You just jumped out, didn't you?"

"Alice?" Said teen paused the game, again turning around to see who it was this time. She blinked.

"Sam?" He was a sight to see, with her twins hanging off of him like that.

"They wanted you." Sam informed her. She chuckled, sliding off the couch. She wasn't even five feet away when they jumped, causing Alice to run. She caught them easily, the pair only weighing about ten pounds all together.

"Hello sweetsparks, how were you for Uncle Sam today hmm?" Cherrybomb and Steel giggled as she cuddled them up to her cheeks.

"Steel slept. Uncle Sammy played with me." Alice laughed, the sound coming from the centre of her chest.

"Taking right after your momma, huh Steel? And 'Bomb as well? I know that while you say play you mean prank." Steel was already half asleep on her shoulder. 'Bomb grinned up at her, his visor a glowing green.

"Uncle Sammy looks very good without pants Carrier. Auntie Mikaela even agrees so I know it's true." Alice smiled at her sparkling knowingly.

"Ah, of course. Now, which kind of pants do you mean Cherie? English or Butchered English?" 'Bomb's denta showed.

"Both!" He chirped. Alice looked up to tease Sam, only to find out he had already vacated the premises. She silently mourned the lost opportunity.

"Sparklings?" Alice turned at the sound of Blue's voice. A giggle left her at his bewildered expression.

"I'd forgotten that you'd only been here a week. Bluestreak, meet my sparklings, Cherrybomb and Steel. They're twins." The 'bot came over and sank to his knees.

"Twins, meet Bluestreak." 'Bomb chattered happily at the much bigger 'bot.

"Hi Bluestweak. Steel's asleep but he knows who you are. You don't gotta worry, I told 'im." At that Blue melted and Alice knew she had another 'bot in love with her kids.

"Hello-Cherrybomb. It's-nice-to-meet-you." And there was his signature speed. Alice knew that her sparkling had caught it though, he and his brother would little geniuses.

"You talk really quickly, like Uncle Miles. But I know what you're saying so it's o-k." 'Bomb cheerfully informed him. And it was time to stop this before Blue attempted to kidnap her sparkling. It had happened before.

Luckily, Steel had also decided to was time to intervene. Grabbing his twin's arm, he pulled him down next to him.

"Nighty night, Bluestweak." And with that both of her sparklings were happily asleep in her arms. She easily tucked them away into her hoodie's inner pockets as she usually did, zipping up said hoodie when she was done.

"Hey Alice?" Said blonde looked up at him.

"Yeah?"

"How-exactly-do-you-have-sparklings? Not-that-I-think-you're-inadequate-or-anything,-just that you're human. Organic. And-they're-well,-metal." Alice chuckled at his awkwardness.

"The Allspark created the twins before they were destroyed. They adopted me as their Carrier. I love them and they love me. Simple." Blue smiled and nodded.

"Makes-perfect-sense."
