TRANSFORMERS: Bumblebee's Boy

WELCOME TO DIEGO GARCIA

CHAPTER 15
Welcome to Diego Garcia

Moving to Diego Garcia was both exciting and nerve-wracking. It took longer to pack given Trevor had accumulated some things during his time with the Lennox's. But now, a few hours after they had gotten onto the military transport, here they were. Trevor clutched his backpack slightly as he observed the large island base, their new home. Around him, he saw many military members, who had been in Lennox's group in Mission City, had already arrived, dressed in their new NEST Uniforms. While he himself didn't get the uniform, Lennox had ordered him his own official "NEST" gear so he would not look out of place. Which was mostly non-military articles, consisting of several official t-shirts, a couple of jackets, and (the only military article) a set of dog tags with his name and with a rank listed as: "THE KID". For his first day he'd simply dressed in one of the t-shirts, and his dog tags.

While he was officially the "ward" of the group, and Bumblebee's son for that matter, Lennox had secured him a role. He was to help with introducing the new recruits to the Autobots when they came in, something which he was happy to do. After all, he felt as though he undoubtedly had to do something around here other than be tutored, and grow up among the Autobots. He watched quietly as Bumblebee drove off the transport, transforming as he stared down at Trevor. "Home sweet home, I guess," Bumblebee nodded his head towards the base. "You look like you're going to lubricate yourself."

"I'm nervous," Trevor muttered, looking up at his father quietly. "I mean, seriously, Bee," He began, chewing his lips nervously as he did. "Who wouldn't be? I'm the only civilian on an island base filled with military personnel," He explained.

Bumblebee rolled his optics as they began their walk towards the actual base itself. Once they were inside, Trevor found that the base was even bigger on the inside. The main hangar was huge, with a long walkway overhead and sleek metal floors and walls. All around him, people helped to set up different parts of the base, moving past them in a hurry. "Hey," Trevor turned his head as a voice spoke up. "What's a kid doing here?"

The man who approached them was tall, with a bad haircut and glasses. His eyes met Trevor's with a glare of suspicion as he stared at him with his own look of confusion. "Mr. Galloway," Lennox spoke up as he walked over, having entered before them. "This "kid" is Trevor Prime, the son of Bumblebee," He pointed at Bumblebee. "And the grandson of Optimus Prime."

"He looks human," The man, Galloway, crinkled his nose in suspicion.

"I am human," Trevor replied dryly, almost amused. "He adopted me last week, per an agreement with the government." He smirked a bit. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Galloway," He held out his hand with a smile, in an attempt to be friendly.

Galloway looked down at Trevor's hand, and merely stared at him after a few moments. "Yeah, well, make yourself useful and help out around here," Galloway grunted as Trevor noticed Bumblebee's doorwings quiver a little in dislike. "You get in the way of these troops and their job? And I don't care who you are, you'll be on the next plane back home."

"This is his home," Bumblebee spoke up. "Or did you not hear correctly? He's my son, it's legal, and I have the papers to prove it," Galloway frowned a bit at the aggressive way in which Bumblebee said this. "So I'd appreciate it if you treated him with a little more respect. As an Autobot, he has just as much of a right to be here as anyone else."

Galloway stared between the two of them, then at Lennox. By the looks of it, he could already tell the now named "Major" was on their side. He grimaced a bit, and nodded his head, going back to a straight face. "Very well, as you were then," He started off, but gave Trevor a look in the eyes. "I'm still watching you, kid. Just remember this isn't a playground," He added.
