Gotta go fast

Chapter 4

Knock Out had thought many times about her question that she had asked him and he had taken her up in her word about how much time she was allowing him to answer the question. Even long after he had left her home and returned to the decepticon warship he hadn't been able to concentrate on anything else. Why didn't he just dispose of the human? If any of the other decepticons knew about the fleshing they would kill her right on the spot, so why had it not crossed his mind? Why was he so curious about her? Knock Out thought about how she had saved his paint job from a brutal scratch and beaten him in a race and yet he, for some reason, followed her home and got s good look at her life. He felt her pain of her loses and her desire to be free to finally cross that finish line.

He wanted to help her get out of her relationship so that she would stop running. He wondered what the others would think if they knew that he liked the company of the young human. Breakdown would probably want to immediately squish her with his hammer and Megatron would undoubtedly be disgusted that he had been around her for so long and would force him to kill her himself.

Nothing new was going with the decepticons so he had no real reason to hang around. Megatron would call or scowl him if he was needed. He had come late morning to find Luna working under the hood of the same blue car her older friend had dropped off. She had pondered if he had thought about her question that she had asked the previous day. It scared her that making him think about it all may make him realise that he what he was doing with her was stupid, but they were only talking. She continued to work with Knock Out kneeling behind her watching as she listened to him talking about his past as a medic as well as cybertron and life before the war.

"I think the thing I miss most is being sat on top the high peak just outside crystal city watching the sun set behind the horizon and the moon rise" Knock Out was staring up at the ceiling like a vision of it was there but he felt a set of eyes on him that tore the vision away, he looked back down at the pinky. Her gaze set directly on him and a happy smile her face even her cheeks were flushed slightly which made him think that she must be over heating "what are you so happy about?"

"Listening to you talk about your home..." She gazed down for a moment before continuing "it sounds so beautiful. Makes me realise how isolated I really am especially knowing that there are wonderful places my planet and I just don't know about them"

"It sounds beautiful because it was, not anymore though. You'll get your chance to leave Luna" the medic stood stretching his arms out as he stepped outside the building. "I'm sorry about your planet" she followed him out but he only shrugged at her apology. Knock Out hadn't showed his saddened state about his home to anyone mostly because it would be seen as a weakness. None of his kind even spoke about their dead planet but with this human he could talk about it freely remembering it before it died, the way it should have stayed. He had to admit it was nice to tell someone about it that didn't pretend to listen.

"You make it sound like I could just walk away from all this" she pointed towards her home "but it's not as easy as it sounds" he raised a brow at her. He didn't quite understand everything as she could easily just walk away from these brothers she's involved with. "Luna why don't you leave?"

"As tempting as it is to make a new start, be free. I can't. Ricky and his brother wouldn't follow but I'd leave a vital part of my life behind and it's not like I have the money to go travelling"

Their conversation was interrupted the sounds of a ringing phone. Luna immediately ran inside to answer it, her voice erupted as she recognised the voice on the other end which caught Knock Outs attention. "I was wondering when you were going to call Benny boy"

The decepticon snickered at what she had called the male on the other end. "Sure I can take a look" it looked like their activities had to be cut short as it sounded as though she had to go somewhere "no I can easily replace that, it'll take me 2 minutes. I'll be there soon"
