TFRID: There's Something About You II

Chapter 3

Soon as others arrived, Steeljaw was waking up. Elena ran quickly beside him, that she didn't mind surprised looks on others about her new look. Well, during that time Frankie has already returned home, so there were only Kane, Dani, and Blades.

Steeljaw opened slowly his optics and saw her.

"Elena..."

Elena smiled a bit while tears started to appear.

"What happening here?" Kane asked from his dad. Chief Burns just pat on his shoulder.

"Where am I?" Steeljaw asked.

"You're in Rescue training center on Earth."

"Earth?" Steeljaw looked confused. "What is that?"

Everyone stayed quiet.

"Steeljaw, that's not funny." Elena worries.

"I don't think he is laughing." Heatwave points out.

"Should we call Bumblebee?" Blades asks.

"Who's Bumblebee?"

Now Elena was getting worried. Did he lose his memory? "Boulder..."

Boulder didn't need the second opinion to prepare medical equipment to check. Luckily Steeljaw didn't put against it either. He was either still too tired protest or he knew he wasn't feeling well. It didn't take long before Gram and Boulder came to others with results in a separate room.

"His memory data is damaged." Gram explained.

"So, he lost his memory?" Dani asked.

"In a way, yes." Boulder started. "By what I managed to archive he remembers only from the beginning to the moment when was arrested for... causing rebellion against High Council?"

"Yeah. Elena told us that." Heatwave confirms.

"Was there a good reason for the rebellion?" Kane asked.

"I would have done it too at some point," Elena commented.

"That's yes," Cody confirms.

"So, he doesn't remember being on Earth before and facing Bumblebee and his team." Blades wonders.

"But how then he remembers Elena?" Dani asked.

"I wonder the same thing. At my count, when we first met was on Crown River Dam." Elena told.

"Why not ask him?" Kane suggested.

"You wanna ask, someone who has lost his memory, how he remembers Elena?" Heatwave asked. Yeah, that doesn't sound right.

"Look, how about I talk him and next day we see what to do then," Elena suggested.

"Alright. But for now, keep him in the academy, till then." Chief suggested. "If he shows improvement in his behavior we talk about more."

"And if he starts to remember?" Gram wonders.

"I'll try figure something," Elena said.

Elena takes a deep breath, before entering the room where Steeljaw was resting. She was still in her robot form. It was surprising to see him still on the berth. She would have expected him to run away by now.

She walks calmly to him sats down close to him.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I think I'm okay. Although I feel like someone has used me as mace and swing hard to hit something," he answered.

"You were in an escape pod which crash-landed," Elena explained.

"Escape pod? Why would I be...?" Steeljaw wondered, but as he tried to think an answer his head started to hurt. Elena rests her hand on his, in which their optics met.

"Boulder told us, you don't remember since you were arrested in Cybertron," she told.

"How you know I was arrested?"

"I had a chance to read your record. I also know, it was against High Council," she told.

Steeljaw looks down. He still can remember those times and they weren't good to remember. In fact, there haven't been many good memories of his youth.

Sensing his depression Elena leans on him for comfort, in which he accepted.

"So... is this "Earth" your home planet?" he asked to change the subject. Elena looks at him a bit confused. "I...have that you came from the different planet before you became Star Supreme," he explained, while there was a little bit of blush on his cheek. That's new.

"Yes," she answered smiling bit. "Back then Optimus Prime came here with his team to look for safe harbor. During that time they saved me and they took me in. After some time Optimus came like a father to me and before I realized I was chosen as Star Supreme long before we met."

Steeljaw simply watched and listen. To tell the truth, he had a chance to see her a couple of times, but she always looked so sad. This is the first time he sees her smile bit.

But to still

"What's a father?" he asked.

Elena looked confused before she starts to laugh. Since he doesn't remember, it's still funny that he asks such a thing.

However, her laugh stops when he pulls her close to him and embrace her.

"I never have seen you laugh. Thank the AllSpark," he said.

Elena was surprised by this. Maybe there is a chance he has had a crush on her before they in Crown river dam. If so, then that explains why he remembers her.

But then she looks up and sees everyone looking through the glass at them. Dani even had her phone with the camera. Rescue bots stood behind because they can zoom their optics. And by the look on their faces was hard to say what they were thinking. Blades looked like he might blush. Boulder and Chase were simply looking. Heatwave looked confused, probably because they couldn't hear what they were talking about. Elena showed them a mean look, telling that she gets for this. In this, Chief and Cody started to ask everyone to leave, before something unexpected happened.

Steeljaw had noticed others a little bit after Elena. He could sense Elena been angry with them, but something inside him wanted to give little tease to them. So, without any sound, he lifts Elena's chin with two claws and kisses her.

In this, everyone had different reactions. Kane moved away by the surprise with Gram who was blushing. Dani tried to take another picture, but she was too shocked to take one. Blades actually fainted. Boulder looked surprised while Chase looked the all the same. Heatwave looked like he could actually walk in and pull Elena away. Who knew he has father instinct. Chief wasn't much surprised, but that bold move was unexpected. Cody didn't seem to be surprised much, he and Frankie saw her with him in her mind.

As he broke the kiss, Elena was all red. Hard to say was either super mad or super blushing.

"Sorry. I couldn't help myself." he apologized. "This may sound weird, but I believe I might have dreamed of doing this to you."

"That you kiss me?"

"Is that how it's called? What is it for?"

Elena groaned for this and covered her annoyed face with her hands. This will be a long day.
