Estranged (transformers/fast and furious crossover)

Part 10

Jamie watched each person and autobot's reaction as she led them past the line of trees. Before them was a cage. Inside was what looked like a car. But when Jamie tapped it, a monster of a con smashed against the glass. It was top of the grade bullet proof glass with steel beams running through it every five inches. So the con couldn't do much of anything to them. She sighed.

"I found him a few months ago. When I came to see Amanda and bring Delta to Jason." She told them. "He was digging around in the barn and I took him down, which was not easy. I've been trying to get something out of him but he won't say anything."

"Have you tried killing it?" Bobby asked.

"No. I won't until I get something." She looked at it. "I need to know about this. About... me."

"You could ask them." William motioned to the bots.

She shook her head. "No. I need to know everything. And I'm not stupid. They protect me, all of them do apparently. But I need to know as much as I can."

Will's phone rang, and he picked it up.

"William Lennox." He paused. "Yes sir. We'll be there as soon as we can."

He handed the phone to Jamie, who took it and put it to her ear.

"Jamie Monroe."

"Miss Monroe."

"General Morshower." She swallowed. "Yes, sir?"

"I expect you to be in uniform right next to your comrades. Understood?"

"Fully, sir."

She gave William back the phone before looking dead into the con's eyes.

"Last chance." She said. "Don't make me kill you."

It glared right back at her. "You know nothing."

She growled before slamming her hand into a button. The cage door slid open and she lifted her arm, using some weird powers to shoot forward and kill it.

Prime was beyond pissed as Will and Mearing walked over. He wouldn't even speak to Jamie, which scared her to new heights. Mearing saw her and stopped dead in her tracks.

"Soldier, why are you not in uniform?"

"Because about four hours ago, Morshower took my rank from me because I asked." She told the woman.

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I'm with Optimus. And he isn't happy." She shook her head. "Actually, he's pissed. He won't talk to anyone, even me. Which right now is making it very hard for me to relax because he usually talks to me about anything and everything. So you answer his fucking questions or I swear to God, I don't give a Hell who you are. I will kick your ass."

"Is that- was that a threat?" Mearing asked.

"No. That was a promise. I don't threaten people."

Mearing chuckled dryly. "So you're more Decepticon than Autobot."

Optimus then transformed, kneeling over Jamie to get very close to Mearing.

"You will not call her that again." He snarled. "You lied to us. Everything humans know of our planet we were told had all been shared. So why was this found in human possession?"

Jamie swallowed as she stood beneath the angry Prime. So as they talked, she slipped away to go hide. And she found Sam.

"Sam?" She asked. "What are you doing? You can't be here!"

Mearing looked at her. "You know this boy?"

She ignored the woman. "And you brought your girlfriend? You have got to be kidding me." She groaned. "Look, I will call you later and tell you what's up. People are being idiots around here and...."

She stopped talking as her eyes landed on Optimus and the robot he was standing in front of.

"Oh my God." She breathed. "That's...."

"Sentinel Prime. These things run on Energon, and he's out of it. He's in a... sort of a sleep mode." William told her.

"You mean... oh wow. I'm an Energon."

"You're what?" Mearing and Sam's girlfriend asked.

She yanked up her arm sleeve as she stared at the two Primes.

"This is so crazy... wait, no! Optimus!"

She ran forward, but he had already brought the Prime back into his waking state. And he was not at all happy. They started to fight before the Sentinel finally calmed enough to speak human.

"The war..." He said. "The war!"

"The war was lost." Optimus told him. "Cybertron is now but a barren wasteland. We have taken refuge here, on planet Earth. It's human race is our ally."

"My ship! We came under fire... the pillars. Where are the pillars?"

"You saved five of them, including the control pillar."

"Only five?" Sentinel seemed distressed. "We once had hundreds!"

Mearing walked forward. "Excuse me, gentlemen. May I ask... what is this technology you are looking for?"

"It is the ability to reshape the universe. Together the pillars form a Space Brides. I designed, and I alone, can control it. It defies your laws of physics to transport matter through time and space."

"You're talking about a teleportation device, aren't you?"

"Yes, for resources, for refugees." Optimus said.

"Refugees, or troops of soldiers, weapons, maybe bombs! A means of an instant strike! That's its military function, isn't it?" Mearing asked.

"It is our technology. It must be returned."

"Yes, if humans say so! You can't just bring weapons of mass destruction into our atmosphere! Kind of have to clear customs first. A little formality called paperwork, kind of separates us from the animals."

"Animals?"

Everyone turned to look at where Jamie was standing, her eyes on Mearing.

"Animals?" She repeated. "Humans have the capacity to destroy everything. I lived as one for my whole life until a few years ago when I found out that I was an Energon. You have no idea what the Hell you are anymore. You aren't just some God who everyone loves. In fact, if I had to choose who the Hell to kill right now between you, Megatron, and some demon from the pits of Hell, I would put a bullet in you. I don't like you."

"You threatened me again huh?" Mearing asked.

Jamie ignored her. "Everything the bots have done for us, everything they have told us, they didn't have to. Prime trusts us and for the love of God you're an idiot if you can't trust him back! I have literally given my life up to save his, so back off or I'll make you."

"Jamie." Optimus spoke, making her look at him. "This is Sentinel Prime."

Jamie looked over and nodded her head to him. The Prime nodded his head back to her before looking at Mearing.

"I will overlook your condescending tone if you heed the gravity of mine. The Decepticons must never know the Space Bridge is here. For in their hands, it would mean the end of your world."

Jamie didn't like the sound of that. She spun on her heel and literally ran out of the room. She climbed into her new car, which was a rebuild of Dom's charger, and floored it.
