Melting a Heart of Ice (Beast Wars Dinobot AU x Female Reader)

More than Just Fear (Part 2)

*Y/n's POV*

After two days of very little sleep, Y/n and Dinobot finally make it back home. Dinobot calls everyone of the Maximals over to Y/n's house for an emergency meeting plus he didn't feel like it was good idea to leave Y/n in her home alone with Rampage on the loose. Also she ended up getting an even worse piece of news. Turns out her ex, Eric, was sighted in Paradise Falls a day after her and Dinobot left. Y/n didn't like hearing about that. Not even one bit. After about a day of rest, Dinobot decides to teach Y/n to defend herself. First teaching her the basics of defensive stances and how to defend yourself in hand to hand combat. Once Dinobot was satisfied of the results, he teaches her how to use a boken (wooden practice sword that kinda looks like a katana).

After about an hour and earning himself a few good bruises or two, Dinobot decides to call it quits to they can rest.

Y/n was in her room, laying down on her bed. She was in pain from Dinobot's training but she knew he had the right state of mind. She also didn't like having an chaperon with her at all times either. Today she was with Cheetor. Which wasn't so bad. She could tell he was finally over his crush of her. Plus while she and Dinobot were gone, Cheetor told her a freak lightning storm passed through, which caused him and Rattrap to go through some changes. Y/n asked what kind of changes and Cheetor said that he and Rattrap were now had Transmetal 2. Y/n thought it was cool but she was also sad that Cheetor no longer had fur when he changed to his Beast Mode. He kinda had like a fuzzy feel to his Beast Mode, kinda like a peach fuzz feel. Y/n was about ready to fall asleep when she hears Cheetor come into the room. "Hm?"

"Brought my kitties over so that Hamilton could have a playdate. Also I was wondering if you want to watch a movie. I know you are bored but also in pain from training with Dinobot so if you want I can drag the beanbag chairs from the guest bedroom and bring them in here so that way you can be more comfortable," said Cheetor.

"I'm kinda hungry. So how about we get some food and watch a movie?" Y/n suggests.

"We can order out. I'll order the food and how about you pick the movie?" Cheetor pulls out his cellphone and leaves the room.

Y/n struggles to get off of her bed. "I don't think Cheetor has seen Labyrinth yet." She goes over to the book case that had her DVD collection and grabs Labyrinth off of the shelf. She sits back down on the bed and waits for Cheetor to return.

After about five minutes, Cheetor comes back with two beanbags in two. "I ordered Chinese food through GrubHub so it should take a bit to get here."

*Cheetor's POV*

The food came thirty minutes later and at that point the movie was about halfway done. Cheetor didn't mind spending time with Y/n. Even though he had gotten over his crush over Y/n, he's glad that they are friends. Labyrinth was about to end when Cheetor's Ragdoll cats and Y/n's Persian came running into the room, with their tails bushed out. Cheetor could tell right away that something is wrong.

Y/n manages to get all four cats to calm down. "Something's wrong," said Y/n.

"I'll go check it out. Baracade the bedroom door just in case. I'll be right back." Cheetor leaves the room and waits outside the bedroom door to make sure that Y/n shuts and locks it. "Dont leave the room until I get back." He sneaks downstairs, his senses on high alert, checking for any signs for danger. As he nears the front door, he senses someone come up to the door. Right away he knew it wasn't Dinobot. Dinobot, unbeknownst to Y/n, was getting a piece of his spark removed by Rhinox here soon. With the help of Rattrap, they were going to turn the energon crystal that Icebird had given Y/n, into a necklace so that Y/n could have a piece of Dinobot with her since it was the safest way to do a sparkbond with a human. As Cheetor nears the door, he could hear two people talking just outside the door. Two people? When did the second one show up? This isn't good, Cheetor thinks to himself. He assumed that the second person was already there. He patiently waits until the second person walks away and for the other person to knock on the door. Cheetor smirks. He knew just how to screw around with this person. He sneaks back upstairs, avoiding the squeaky steps. "Just a minute!" Cheetor calls after the person was done knocking on the front door. He heads back downstairs again and opens the door, only far enough to look out but not far enough for anyone to get inside. "Yes? May I help you?"

Outside the door, was a young man. Probably in his late twenties. He had tanned colored skin and long black hair. He had green eyes and a smile that reminded Cheetor of a snake. "I'm looking for someone actually. My sister disappeared two days ago not far from this neighborhood and I've been going door to door, asking if anyone had seem her."

"What does your sister look like?" Cheetor asks.

"She has h/c h/l and e/c. And she's about 5'4" in height." (Sorry just decided to use a random height.)

Cheetor keeps calm, making sure no facial expressions give away as to who he knew that the guy was talking about. "Sorry I haven't seen anyone like that around here. If I do, I'll report her to the police as a missing person," said Cheetor.

"Thank you. I'll continue my search for her myself. Thank you for your help. Have a good day." The guy calmly walks away.

Cheetor picks up the guy's scent and could tell he was bad news. He also ends up picks up another scent, which meant even worse news. He shuts and locks the door and puts the two deadbolts in place. "Not taking any chances." He goes into the kitchen and grabs one of the chairs and props it up against the door. "I'll by a new set of chairs if I have to, if it means making sure Y/n stays safe." He then goes around the house, making sure all the windows were locked and the blinds were closed. After that he heads back upstairs. "You can remove the baracade from the door, Y/n." After a few minutes, Cheetor could tell the baracade of whatever Y/n had uses to block the door was out of the way.

Cheetor waits for Y/n to unlock the door as well. He goes into the room. "We are safe for now."

"What happened?"

"There were two people standing outside the front door. One pretended to ask about a missing sister and described you to a T."

Y/n's face goes pale. "Fuck! I didn't need to hear that! That arse, Eric, is not supposed to come within five hundred yards of me after what he did to me. We need to call the police!"

"Y/n you need to calm down. I know you don't like the idea about it, but I am going to give Megatron a call and have him stand guard outside the house tonight. We are not taking any chances. Not with both your ex and Rampage in the area."

Y/n knew Cheetor was right. It was best not to take any chances.
