Spark (Bumblebee Love Story)

Chapter 33

"Get away from me!"

"Calm down, it's just a blood draw-"

"If it's a blood draw, then why is the liquid in the syringe green!?"

Danielle struggles in her restraints, being tied up on a surgical bed. She was dressed in a size too big white tank top with blue scrub pants. Her shoes were gone, the people who recovered her and set her on the table not bothered to cover her feet from the shrill exposure to the coldness inside the Hoover Dam. She tries to move her hands out of her cuffed restraints, trying to get as far away as she can from the doctor holding the syringe in his hand.

Despite his gentle speaking towards Danielle, he is a cruel man. He reminded Danielle of a "crazy doctor surgeon" performing as many tests on his patients as he can, even if it kills them. He was a surprising young doctor, being at least in his late twenties, with a head full of short brown hair. When Danielle first woke up, the first thing she noticed about the doctor was his surgeon glasses, showing many dimensions up close by looking at the many lenses in front of his glasses.

Danielle whimpers, seeing the needle of the syringe inch closer and closer to the side of her neck, the sight of the doctor's glasses only in her sight.

"Don't worry," the doctor reassures Danielle, "It will only be a little prick of pain."

"The only prick of pain in the room is you!" Danielle yells out, thrashing her legs, "Let me go!"

Just as Danielle feels the needle touch her skin, the door of the laboratory slams open, startling the two. Being not able to see the door in front of her, Danielle closes her eyes shut, too afraid to look She hears the doctor right next to her vanished, a set of grunts emitting. Once the set of grunting finally stops, she hears heavy sets of footsteps approach her.

"You okay kid?" A voice calls out to her.

Growing confused, Danielle opens her eyes, squinting from the overhead light aimed at her face. As soon as it was there, the light is pushed away by a man in military gear. Noticing his dark complexion and gloves, Danielle coughs, "What took you so long?"

Hearing Danielle speak, the man turns over to her, giving a small chuckle, "Was dealing with some other shit, at least we got to you in time."

Danielle merely nods, waiting for the next mode to action. She hears the man she met yell for a man named Captain, and, soon enough, she sees the man from earlier and a new man, who was the opposite of the original person, from skin tone to lack of hair.

"Your name is Danielle, right?" the new man says, pointing towards himself, then to the other man beside Danielle, "My name is Captain Lennox, and over here, is Epps. We're gonna take the cuffs restraints off of you, alright?"

Danielle realizes why Captain Lennox was telling her this was to not freak her out, she nods, letting them get to work. She keeps her breathing even, feeling the metal cuffs around her limbs shake before a loud, audible break pops. She feels pressure on her hands and legs go away suddenly, making Danielle sigh in bliss.

"Damn," Danielle winces, rising up from her lying position, getting help from the two soldiers, "That hurt like hell."

Both military men help lift Danielle off of the surgical bed, holding onto her waist and arms. They set her down on the ground, trying to help her with her balance. Danielle winces, before looking up, almost lunging out of Captain Lennox and Epps' arms.

"Sam!" Danielle cries out, seeing her twin brother.

"Danny!" Sam yells at her, before running to her.

Without hesitation, Sam's arms wrap around her midsection, holding her off the ground, bear-hugging her. Danielle smiles, wrapping her arms around her brother's neck, holding him close.

"Oh, God, Danny," Sam mumbles in Danielle's letten down hair, "I'm so sorry."

"It's fine, Sam," Danielle assures her brother, "I'm just glad we're both okay now."

As if a switch flipped in Danielle's head, she pulls away from Sam, landing back on the ground, fear in her eyes.

"Where's Bumblebee?"

Noticing her fear, Mikaela jogs over to the two twins, joining in on the conversation.

"We went to get you first. We're gonna go get Bumblebee now" Sam explains to Danielle.

Being full of energy, Danielle runs over to the laboratory door barefoot, opening the door.

"Then what are we waiting for?"
