Dino's pov
I saw Cat storming over to the gate, her eyes shone dangerously and I saw the fury. I gulped and stepped back as she stormed over to me. I opened my mouth to say something, but she harshly slapped my cheek, at least twice. I hit the gate and ended up on the floor. With a roar she sat upon me, straddling me and hold my collar.

I grabbed her wrists but she pulled back and grabbed my throat, her nails digging in my flesh. "I am so close from shooting you back to Cybertron!" She shouted and slapped my chest with her fist. I groaned glared at her "I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOU FRAGGING HELP!" she screamed furiously. "If you think you can just walk into my life and rule over me like a.. tyrant! Then you're wrong you traitor!" she hissed.

I pushed her away and rubbed my throat and opened my mouth again to say something but she silenced me "NO! Now it's your time to listen, Mirage!" she said and spat my name like it was venom. "You are the stupidest and foolish mech or even male I have ever met in my entire life and believe me! I have met a lot of idiots!" she sneered, I saw her trembling from anger and decided to keep quiet.

I looked in her eyes and for a moment, I saw a reg glimpse. It startled me, how was it possible her eyes changed to red?

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" she screeched before she kicked me hard against my shins and stormed off, but I didn't care about it and quickly got up, sprinting over to the medbay. Ratchet was just finishing his last work and wasn't happy to see me. "I need all cat's medical reports!" I said. He frowned. "What?" he asked. "You heard me! I need all her medical reports! All of them! Even from before!" he said.

Ratchet gave me a look "Please! Give them to me!" I said. Ratchet sighed and walked away. He later returned with at least five files. "There's not much known about her life before she became a spy," he said. "This is fine!" I said and took it with me. I walked over to the office I was supposed to share with Cat, but since she was angry with me all the time, I didn't found the courage to sit at her brother's desk.

I checked if she was there before I walked in and placed everything on her brother's desk, looking through it. I needed to know why it was possible that her eyes were able to change from azure blue to red. I looked at everything and finally saw there was a large gap from at least two years. Nothing was reported in that period.

2016-2018 that was the gap there was in this file. I searched through it, but there wasn't a paper that showed me what happened in that period. I bit my lip and stared at it will tapping with my pen on the table. What happened to her in that period?

Cat's pov
After my shower, I was finally calm again and laid down in bed. Staring at the ceiling. My shoulder was bleeding again, I knew I was wrong in almost killing the damn mech, but I was so furious, I just couldn't control myself.

The next morning, I was walking around the base, bringing some files from Lennox office back to the archive. The soldiers glanced at me but stepped aside, very wise cuz I was in a very bad mood. Dino sprinted towards me until he walked next to me and showed me a paper. "What happened?" he asked. I glanced at it but didn't reply and looked back at the distance.

The spy blocked my way "Cat! What happened between 2016 and 2018?" he asked. "nothing! I don't know what you're talking about!" I growled. Mirage grabbed my wrist and forced me to stop and answer him. "Tell me!" he insisted. I snitched the paper out of his hands and stared it before I made a wad of it. "I told I don't know!" I snapped as I pushed the wad in his hand.

The spy growled in annoyance and grabbed me again "Can't you just answer one simple question!" he hissed. "I TOLD YOU I DON'T KNOW!" I screamed, pushed him against the wall. He stared at me "Jeez! Are you deaf or do you only speak Italian!" I sneered before I stormed off. "Stop asking me these stupid questions!" I hissed.

Luckily Mirage didn't follow me so I padded over to my room and changed my clothes in some sports outfits. I was doing some weight lifting and stared at the ceiling before I grabbed the metal tube and pushed it off the holder. My shoulderblade was screaming in protest and I couldn't hold it. It causes it to be stuck on my chest. I groaned and threw my head back, sniffling a little. A lost tear rolled down my face but was wiped away by someone.

I opened my eyes and looked at Mirage. "What do you want!" I snapped, again he wiped some tears away. He lifted the weights off my chest and placed it back on the holder. "We need to talk!" he said. I sat up straight while he sat down next to me. "Don't talk until I am done!" he said as I opened my mouth to protest.

"Listen... I know something happened between 2016 and 2018... you have to tell me what happened!" he said. "Why!" I sneered. He brushed a tear away "Were you aware of your eyes turning red?" he asked. I rolled my eyes "Lier! you're looking for problems so you can use it against me!" I hissed. "That's not true, Cat!"

I glared at him "If you give answers of two questions then I will leave you alone!" he said. I sat back down again and glared at him. "GO ahead!" I sneered. He sighed "First of all... why can't you remember?" he asked. I shrugged my shoulders "How am I supposed to know, we were taken from the streets, we were cage fighters, after we were taken I can't remember anymore! next!" I sneered. "Don't you wann aknow?" he asked. I shook my head "Why would I!" I hissed angrily.

The mech sighed "Tell me about the case you're working on!" He finally said. "It's in the damn file!" I growled. "No it isn't!" He snapped back, losing his patients. I smirked and got up "I made sure of that! I didn't want to talk to you!" I snapped. The mech glared at me and gritted his teeth.

That night, I was sitting on my bed, cross-legged. I wore a cropped long sleeved pj shirt and pants. My hair hanging over my shoulders. I looked through some files about me, and sighed as I stared at them. I got up and picked them up, stalking ober to the office, not even taking the time to put on some shoes or socks.

Like I predicted, Mirage was sitting behind my brothers desk. I sneaked in and He jolted up as I stood in front of him. He frowned as he saw me in my pj and gave him the files about me.

With hesitation he took them and gave me a questionable look. "That are my files," I said and sat down on the chair in front of the desk. He laid his pen down and looked through them. "I am serious about what I said... I don't know what happened between that period, it's like... it's erased out of my memory, I never talked about with my twin because... we didn't see why it was relevant," I said.

Dino listener carefully to me "I did experience some changed after 2018 though... sometimes I can bear what people say at the other side of the base, or even at the other side of the city, I'm very sensitive, I can feel emotions very strong, my sight is ten times better than it was in the beginning, I can see from here the ants on the wall on the other side of the room, or see good at nights, I'm faster than other soldiers... but sometimes I do have a burning pain in my head... sometimes I black out, it only happens when I am very stressed, so the last period it happened a lot," I said.

He gave a small nod "thank you for telling me," he said. I gave a small nod and got up. "Cat..." He said with hesitation and got up. I frowned a little as he approached me and suddenly picked me up in bridal style. "What are you doing!" I snapped. He ignored me and carried me towards my room where he laid me in bed and covered me with a blanket.

"Mirage..." I groaned.

He hushed me and shook his head "you're so exhausted... the human body needs at eight hours of sleep!" He said. I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment. "I don't wanna sleep!" I growled. "Nightmares?"

I gave a small nod. Dino kicked his shoes out and shut the big lights before he laid down next to me and pulled me closer. He shut the lights on the nightstand and softly rubbed my head. "Why are you doing it!" I sulked. "I am not that bad as you think I am," he muttered.

I closed my eyes and it didn't take long before I was asleep, the last thing I heard was Mirage saying good night.

"Buona notte, Ragazza,"
