Scarlet POV:

It was your typical day at the base with Miko playing her music too loud, Raf typing on his computer, and Jack talking to Arcee. I was reading next to my sire in the medbay as he talked to my uncle. I should probably explain who I am. I am Scarletwing Prime but most just call me Scar, Wing, or Scarlet. I'm the daughter of Optimus Prime and Razorwing. My carrier was a Predicon warrior that survived The Great Cataclysm and fought with my sire when the war started. They fell in love after a millennium of knowing and fighting alongside each other and spark joined. My carrier noticed something was wrong and went to my uncle, Ratchet. They found out that she was sparked with me. My sire wanted my carrier to leave after my birth so that she and I would not get killed if the Decepticons found out. My carrier agreed and left Cybertron and came to my new home of Earth. My carrier had given me a holoform when I had turned to a mature femme so that we could blend in with the inhabitants of this world and waited till my sire came back for us. My carrier trained me in everything she knew in case the war somehow found its way to Earth. After waiting for so long, my carrier and I found my sire and we were finally reunited. However, the Decepticons were here as well and I had to fight. I became one of the best trackers and stealth fighters in Team Prime. Anyway, my uncle was repairing the groundbridge after Bulkhead had tripped and crashed into it after my carrier left for a mission. 

"Primus Bulkhead," I said, "You did quite the number on the bridge." 

"I know and Ratchet is going to offline me after he is done fixing it," He said groaning.

"Well, you had a good run," I said jokingly. 

After I said that, the groundbridge started up. I knew it wasn't ready and I heard my uncle yelling to get back. It was to later as I was sucked into it and was transported to somewhere I didn't recognize. I activated my holoform quickly in case humans were nearby and tried to contact the team.

"This is Scarletwing calling base," I said into the coms, "Hello, can anyone hear me? Ratchet? Arcee? Bulkhead? Bumblebee? Sire? Carrier?"

I was getting more desperate for someone at the base to hear me. I was getting scared as my bond link to my creators was really weak. I lost hope of hearing them, but then I remember I could build something to contact them. All I would need is to gather the supplies. I walked out of the alleyway I was in to see a disaster of a city, heavy on the dis. I don't know why, but I liked to butcher the English language. It was filled with trash and it seemed to have a gloomy atmosphere as the sky was so cloudy that I couldn't see the moon. As I continue to walk down the street, I was jumped by some thugs. I hated them but I can't harm humans. It was my dad's rule that we do not severely harm or kill humans. So, there I was trapped by these idiots and I didn't want to harm them.

"Hey pretty thing," one of the nasty smelling men said to me, "Why don't you come to my place for some fun."

"No thanks. I would rather kiss with an Insecticon than you," I said not realizing that I had said that.

He looked mad and had his friends gather closer. I was about to defend myself when a boy my age, holoform wise, showed up and beat them. He was skilled and took them out rather quickly. He had midnight black hair, olive-toned skin, and a lean body that was perfect for the acrobatic stunts he pulled off. He was wearing a red, black, and yellow suit that had an 'R' on it. I was shocked at how well he took them all down. After cuffing them, he turned to me and stared at me, all most transfixed. 

"Hello?" I said questionaly. 

That seemed to have snapped him out of his daze blushing and asked," Sorry, I was looking you over to see if you were ok."

I knew that was a lie but didn't call him out on it as I kinda did the samething as he was fighting the thugs.

"I'm fine thanks," I said, "I'm Scarlet Pax. And you are?"

"I'm Robin," Robin said, "Are you new to Gotham?"

"Yes, my family is moved here for a new start and I was just walking around to familiarize myself," I lied, "I must be going. My parents must be worried about me."

"Wait," Robin yelled and I turned around to face him,"Will I see you around?"

"Yes," I said, "See you later Robin" I said leaving him behind.

I wonder when I will see him again. After my encounter, I went to the library to learn all I can about this new world. Lets just say this is going to be a fun ride.
