Street Rat ( Transformers Love Story)

Chapter 3

Third person's POV

Becca's body started to shake as the bot started to move. She wouldn't, no, she couldn't open her eyes. She was too afraid to see what was going on.

" Optimus are the children alri-" Ratchet, the Autobot's medic, asked but suddenly stopped. " Wait, who is this?"

" Don't know. She came up to me and Jack and stole his wallet. We chased her for a while and ended up bumping into Knockout...." Miko continued to talk without leaving any detail out. " ...then he just threw her to Optimus."

Optimus looked down at the girl who's eyes were still closed. He knew he had to do something. He took his other hand lightly touched her arm making her body start to shake uncontrollably. " P-please don't hurt me." she whispered as tears started to slide down from her face.

Optimus couldn't bear to see this frail human so frightened. He placed his hand on her arm once more and lightly rubbed it. " It's alright, I am not going to harm you. None of us are going to harm you."

Feeling his cool finger caressing her arm made Becca feel slightly better. She thought that he didn't seem so bad like the other one. Slowly, she began to open her eyes and turn her head towards the mech. He gave her a soft smile that made her feel less alarmed.

" My name is Optimus Prime. I can assure you that you are completely safe. Though we may look intimidating, my team and I are here to protect humans from the hands of the decepticons. The mech that you had encountered was Knockout. A decepticon medic who does not care for anyone but himself."

Becca sat up on his hand and crossed her legs. " I am sorry, I'm a bit confused. What's a decepticon? How did I get here so fast? And what are you?"

Optimus nodded," I shall explain everything to you, but for now, our medic needs to look over your wounds and see if there is any serious injuries that need to be taken care of right away." he walked over to the old bot and stopped in front of him. " This is Ratchet. He is our chief medical officer."

Becca looked at him and shyly waved at him. "Hi."

" Hello... um? What is your name?" Ratchet questioned.

 " Rebecca, but I prefer to be called Becca."

Ratchet nodded. " Alright then, Becca." he said putting his hand out for her to climb on. As she began to crawl over to his hand, she could feel her stomach muscles begin to feel sore from Knockout squeezing her. Ratchet saw her uncomfortable look on her face, making him worry a bit. Once she had sat down on his hand, he walked over to his lab and gently laid her down on the metal birth. Becca lied there trying to make herself comfortable on the metal slab. The rest of the team came in wanting to know what her condition might be.

" Close your eyes for me." he said pushing a few buttons on his arm.

Becca closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Ratchet scanned her from head to toe. Once he was finished with his scanning he checked it, over looking at her vital signs and seeing there was any internal injuries.

Ratchet let out a hmph and looked towards the small girl, " Well, thankfully Knockout didn't do much harm to you except some large bruises, which will most likely be pretty sore for the next few weeks. I can give you some pain medication for that, but there is something else that concerns me." Ratchet paused for a moment and crossed his arms. " You are very underweight and malnourished."

Optimus eyes widened a bit and began to noticed that the girl was really skinny. He also saw that her clothes were worn and dirty as well.

Becca looked down and started to play with her fingers. " Um, ya I..... I know that kinda already."
