My Badass Bot -Bumblebee-

Chapter 20

The next day, I was on the couch, seconds away from sleep. Rosie was in our room, asleep probably. We like sleep. I began nodding off to the sound of Raf talking to Ratchet.

~*~

I woke with a start as I heard a loud bam! sound.

"Bulkhead-" Ratchet started.

"What? You needed that?" Bulkhead snapped. "Only thing I need is our head hancho back." He made a point by slamming his fists together.

"It's not your fault." Jack said, to no one I could see.

"If any of us needed rescuing Optimus would've found away." Arcee said. "I didn't. Simple as that." What happened? What did I miss?

I made my way to Raf and he explained that Arcee had jumped through a Con's ground bridge and got onto their warship. But she had been tricked into driving into another ground bridge to the Arctic. Poor girl.

Then, Fowler popped onto a video chat and started yelling. He said if he didn't give an explanation to his superiors, the Pentagon would make him shut down our base.

"But where would you go? And what about my sisters and I?" Raf asked.

"Who knows? Maybe they'll ship us out to some island, or fire us out into space, wouldn't that be a welcome release?" Ratchet snapped.

"I don't blame Fowler. Optimus would've evacuated all humans from the area before engaging the Cons." Arcee said.

"She's kinda right." Bee agreed.

"We don't actually know what Optimus would've done because he's not here!" Bulkhead's sentence ended in a shout.

"Your pretty good at stating the obvious, Bulk. Anything you'd like to mention that we already know?" Arcee walked up to him.

"Nothing I can say in front of the children." He growled. I laughed at that. They sound like an old married couple.

"Hey!" Jack got their attention. "Aren't we overlooking the positive? No ones talking about what the Cons just got their claws on."

"Yes, we managed to finally allow them to get a power source for their space bridge." Ratchet said.

"And how exactly would that be a positive?" Arcee asked.

"Yeah." I looked at Jack, confused.

"We let them finish building their space bridge." Jack said. Wait what?

"Why? So they can bring more zombies back from Cybertron?" Bulkhead said.

...OOOHHH I see what he's thinking! Good idea! "No." Jack answered Bulkhead. "So we can comendere it, and use it to send me to Cybertron."

"Whoa, that's a pretty good idea." Miko said.

"Ha-ho, well if Miko decides it's a good idea." Arcee put her hand on her hip.

"Nobody's saying it'll be easy but you've seized a space bridge before," he said.

"We blew one up." Said Bulkhead. "That's a whole lot different then seizing and holding one."

"And do we actually know where it is?" Bumblebee said.

"Bee's right. We'd have to find the thing." Arcee agreed.

"Ah hellooo!" Miko shouted. "If it's a space bridge isn't it-" she pointed up.

"The term space refers to its transport ranges, not its physical location." Ratchet said it like it was simple. "And we've been monitoring earths orbit since the last one, we'd know if they put another up there."
