13 || Speak Up

It is very early in the morning and since there are no beds except in Cade's trailer, Y/n found her own bed in one of the junk cars with her new friend, Izabella. After spending her first day at the junkyard yesterday and officially calling it home, she is very exhausted. When she went to bed that night, Bumblebee made sure she was safe and he hardly left her side. Sometimes, he would watch her sleep, admiring the peace and bravery she had inside her. He couldn't wait to see what fighting spirit she had.

The Autobots are always up early, way before Cade is. Drift was doing a little meditation session on top of the destroyed cars and balanced while he said, "No fear. No anger... No anger."

Izabella and Y/n are woken up by the baby Dinobots, yawning and mimicking the way puppies behave. Each girl woke up with a smile on her face, happy to see Dinobot baby Slug yawning with a purr. "Good morning, guys." Y/n smirked at them all.

"Rise and shine, top to the morning to ya, Y/n." Crosshairs said to her. She greeted him, too.

Bumblebee was parked right by the broken-down car when Y/n stepped out to see the junkyard still half asleep. The moon is still high and the sun is almost out from behind the mountains. "Morning, Bee."

He reeves his engine. "Good morning." He buzzes. "Sunshine."

During Y/n's time with Bee and the other Autobots, Megatron got who he wanted to be at his side when it comes to attacking the Autobot base. Onslaught, Mohawk, Dreadbot, Nitro Zeus, and of course the police car, Barricade. All six Decepticons ready themselves to approach the junkyard.

Barricade is known to be one of the best Decepticons and he has hardly lost a fight, But he has lost to a yellow Bot a few times... But he won't ever turn down his famous quote. "𝑻𝒐 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒗𝒆!" on his smooth jet-black paint job.

The green motorcycle named Mohawk had a holographic human being to make it appear like someone was behind the steering. This Con is crazy insane and is known to be a little more unstable than the other Cons.

"Today," Megatron says raspily to his soldiers. "We hunt."

Those words were delicious to the Decepticon ears listening to their leader. They are delighted to have Cade Yeager's location so they can do the job they've been waiting for. It won't be long until they arrive.

The sun is and above and it didn't take long for the whole area to be nearly set on fire from such temperatures. Y/n followed Bee to Cade's small garage where he and Izabella were supposed to replace his voice box. "New voice, huh?"

He nodded. Bee looked pretty excited about his. The yellow Bot lies down in the fix-up building. "Just do what you want." He says to Cade who called Izabella over to assist him. "Doc, come in, Doc."

Y/n stands by Bee's head as Zee (Izabella) and Cade work on the malfunctioning mouthpiece to replace it with a new one. Izabella had two complicated tools that she knew how to use and Cade made sure that she was doing it correctly. He was getting on her nerves and she told him that she knew what she was doing and didn't need to be rushed by somebody.

While they worked together, or at least tried to, Y/n cradled Bee's head with her hands, looking into his optics which consisted of a lot of complicated robot functions and puzzle pieces. Staring into those bright blue eyes of his is what made her feel more alive like he had brought her to life the day they met face to face. She grinned at his facial plates and the purring sounds he produced. "How long has his voice been this way?" Y/n asked Cade.

Cade glances at her, looking out of his glasses. "Long time, my friend. Bee has been waiting for quite some time."

"Now he's finally gonna talk again?" She said with excitement. 

"Yup. If Daytrader says he's got the good stuff then he does." He smirked, completely trusting that hobo that came to visit yesterday.

Izabella took in a new breath when Cade removed the old voice box and soon asked a question by little Zee. "Hound said you can only listen to her. Your daughter. You can't talk back." She referred to when Cade was talking on the phone briefly yesterday. His daughter is in college and since he is becoming an issue to the government, he had to keep his identity on a down-low, including his voice.

"He's got a big mouth," Cade said to Izabella.

Y/n added in, "The big fat dude said if you do talk then people can voice match you from some computer somewhere and track you down."

Cade looks at Y/n. "Well, that's the world we live in."

"What would you say to her?" She asked him. "How do you feel not being able to say anything or see her?"

"I'd tell her to brush her teeth, work hard, stay away from any boy in a band, especially a drummer. And it's hard, I feel like my freedom has been stolen from me which it has." Cade replies, still talking to the girls as he works on Bee.

Y/n chuckled at that and felt sorry at the same time. But she's starting to feel a little better. Her parents are not around anymore and it'll take some getting used to, but being around these people and the Transformers were already making her feel at home. 

Wheelie, the little blue robot that used to be a Decepticon blurted from the workbench. "Yeah, drummers are the worst, not to mention stupid! And DJs? Real d*ckheads."

"Come on." Zee shrugged off Wheelie's words and looked at Cade again.

"We had a thing. All right? A saying, back and forth. She always asks 'Dad what are you doing tomorrow?' and I'd say 'I'll figure it out tomorrow.'" Cade answered, getting the new voice box ready for Bee.

Y/n looks over her shoulder to the outside. "Looks to me like you're running out of tomorrows, Yeager." She looks down to Bee again.

"That's just what she'd say." He nodded as he screwed in the final tiny screw to secure the voice box in place. Y/n blinked herself out of Bee's optics and watched him sit up. This has to be one of the most exciting moments ever. After all, Bumblebee has been waiting for this moment for as long as he can remember.

Y/n stepped back. "Okay, Bee, let's hear your true voice."

Bee sat up and tried it out for the first time. "This is so exciting!" He blurted. That isn't Bee! That's frickin' Siri. Bee held his hand to his throat area. "Oh, no. This isn't my damn voice." He punched the ground aggressively. "This is such bullsh*t."

Cade was disappointed right away when a female voice came out of Bee. He put his hands on his hips, looking down at the ground. "I'm gonna kill him, Bee."

"Daytrader is a punk-ass bitch!"

"Okay, you know what? I'm not giving up. All right? You're going to speak with your own voice one day." Cade said walking out of the garage.

Y/n didn't think it was funny. Daytrader said that Bumblebee was going to talk again and he doesn't have his real vocals. All he got is Apple's Siri accessory.

She watched Bee rip away the voice box and throw it to the side. It must be very hard for him since he only wanted one thing. Is it so hard to find a working voice box? "Oh, Bee, I'm so sorry." Her hand touched his large black and yellow heel struts.

"I've waited this long-- and this is what I get?!" He spoke through the radio to her.

"As your friend, I promise you'll speak normally."

Bumblebee buzzed sadly, looking down on Y/n as she smiled at him. If only he could smile, too. Instead, he gave her a few blinks from his optics and relaxing purrs. "You, little lady--are a loyal friend." The voices on his radio changed from an older male to a younger one. Y/n gave her friend a promise and won't break it.
