(ABANDONED) Transformers Prime: Way of the Flame(REWRITE)

~14~

Echotrace sat in the passenger's seat, servos clasped together in her lap, right leg crossed over the left, the leg fidgeted up and down to try and ease the nervousness going through her system. She felt her spark pounding in her chassis and her denta biting her lower derma. Wheeljack sat leisurely in the driver's seat, one arm on the arm-rest while the other loosely steered the ship through the organic planet's atmosphere. Wheeljack ex-vented, shaking his helm before turning his helm to face the ruby-opticed femme, "Calm down, you're as jittery as a cybercat. Knowing Bulkhead he'll probably vouch for you since I trust ya."

Her dermas pressed into a thin line, "That's... Not exactly what I'm worried about." The ex-Decepticon heir still had no clue on what words to use in order to ease the information to the pyrokinetic.

"Well, whatever you're worried about better ease off your gears in about five kliks. We're almost at the coordinates Doc Bot supplied," Wheeljack quipped. He pointed at a small holographic screen that sat between the two seats. It showed the ship as a red dot following a light blue dotted path. Up ahead was a green dot, indicating the end of the road trip.

It was four days after Lena's call with Alex as well as Emerald. After the argument, she never heard anything else from the duo. One half of her said that they're fine. Lena knew Emerald could protect Alex long enough for them to make an escape. The other half of her, though, said that something was terribly wrong. For two of the four days, the dark-skinned teen trusted Emerald before getting paranoid enough to take out the communicator. All thirty-six calls went unanswered, which compelled Lena's heart to sink further and further down the pits of despair. 

Her mind would come up with excuses saying that the communicator broke and Emerald hadn't gotten around to fixing it or the device got lost in the mess called the Decepticon heir's desk. Lena would often have to scold the seeker to cleaning the disaster zone nonetheless Emerald would argue that it was called "organized disorganization". 

During those four days, the furniture in the designated 'human area' of the Autobot base was transformed after a certain someone had burned the appalling yellow couch that had been there for only Fowler knows how long. The redecoration process was enough for Lena to keep herself busy along with somehow befriend Jackson Darby, Miko Nakadai, and Rafael Esquivel.
(Seriously, is his name spelled as 'Raphael' or 'Rafael'?)

Agent Fowler also notified the authorities of Jasper and beyond for Leo's arrest. He's also warranted that Lena was to stay with June and Jack Darby in the meantime, though that was an excuse for Lena to stay at best under Ratchet's supervision until her esophagus is healed, halting any coughing up blood. Jasper's only high school had given the teen the week off of school, damn was she sure to use it. For a majority of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the pyrokinetic slept for as long as she could. Whenever she awoke her body had more energy than she did in her life. Providing more life to her flaw if she desired to use it if only she could control it without having her emotions get involved. 

A large, soft dark blue carpet covered the hard metal floor. In replacement of the old couch sat a new L-shaped black couch which was particularly picked out to hide any stains to be caused in the future. Pillows ranging in size and color lined along with the couch. Five bean bags, each dyed to match the paint jobs of each of the Autobots per Miko's request with her being the art expert of the group. The stand the old TV stood on was repainted to its original shade of dark brown. Instead of it holding the TV, it held a new video game console along with several remote controllers. On the wall above the game console stood a brand new flat-screen TV that was by far much larger than the old TV. Bulkhead was definitely thankful that it would be easier to see monster-struck rallies with Miko just as Bumblebee was glad that it would be more comfortable to see his Saturday morning cartoons.
