Metalivore (Completed)

Confrontation

It was 8 PM when White Eyes woke up. It was a Friday, which meant the humans would be staying the night like they always did when the weekend came up. The whole aspect of staying the night at other people's houses he got, but they didn't really sleep, they mostly stayed up and listened to music, talked, or played games.

Passing through the main part of the base he saw the three humans gathered around the TV watching some sort of movie while they huddled together wrapped up in blankets. He stepped off to the side into the shadows (the base lights had been dimmed to coax the children to sleep) so he wouldn't be as noticeable.

Silently watching the humans as they were completely focused on the screen in front of them. He sat there for a while waiting for the right moment to put his plan into action. Suddenly, he shifted his foot ever so slightly, quiet enough that it wouldn't completely take their attention off of their movie, but loud enough to make their senses open up to their surroundings a little more.

Very quietly, he started on his way towards the door, heading outside in his normal routine, but this time, he made sure that he had caught a certain human femmeling's attention on his way.

Miko stared at the back of the retreating cybertronian and a smile broke across her face as she ruffled through her blanket, looking for her phone. Her movement caught the attention of Jack and Raf, the movie was starting to become dull and Miko practically ripped the shared blanket off the two.

"What's up Miko?"

Raf asked as she finally found her phone and instantly texted Bulkhead, occasionally glancing at the door which White Eyes had just left through.

"We're gonna follow White Eyes, he has to be keeping some sort of secret, that's the only reason he's gone constantly."

An obviously tired and slightly annoyed Bulkhead walked into the room. Glancing over to the now paused TV and the three wide awake teens, he got a feeling there was trouble in the near future.

"Miko, shouldn't you be recharging."

The female laughed at how he slipped up when he was tired.

"It's sleeping, not recharge, and I can't sleep with the thought of a possible mission within my grasp!"

He sighed in exhaustion, last couple solar cycles he didn't get any recharge because he had been helping Wheeljack with the rules of being on earth and showing him around base and the organic planet.

Bulkhead was about to suggest she think about it some other time, but was quickly distracted by the sound of approaching footsteps. Wheeljack walked up behind him, probably roused out of his recharge when Bulkhead loudly groaned because of the text message.

"What's going on here, we're going on a secret mission?"

The ex-wrecker grinned at the thought of going on a rogue mission. It's been a while since he has been on one of those. Bulkhead was about to correct him, say that there was no mission, but he was interrupted by Miko.

"Yeah! You know White Eyes, the huge secretive white and silver bot? We're going to follow him, finally figure out his secret!"

Bulkhead sighed, shaking his helm in disapproval.

"You guys can do that, I'm going to stay here and get some recharge. I don't understand what you have against White Eyes and I don't want to be a part of it, sorry."

With that said, he turned around and gave a tired wave as he walked back to his berth room for some much needed recharge.

Miko's expression sobered at her guardians actions, sad that Bulkhead didn't want to come and concerned over the ex-wreckers mental health. Wheeljack saw this and gave her a reassuring smile.
