Human

Chapter 6

Ironhide paused an looked up as he heard the shot gun clatter to the floor. Starscream was holding his neck, blood gushing everywhere.

"he said, get. off." Will hissed. the man scrambled out of the house, clutching his wound. Will looked down at him and smiled.

"you weren't afraid he'd shoot you?" Ironhide ask. Will chuckled.

"that shot gun only holds two shells. they'd been fired already." Will said. he reached down and pulled Ironhide up carefully. "you okay?" Will ask.

"I'm fine. lets get back upstairs to Ratchet." Ironhide winced. Will nodded and put the safety on his gun before handing it to Ironhide. he nodded and followed Will upstairs. Ratchet was sitting on the bed worriedly when the two entered.

"what the hell happened?" he ask.

"Starscream." Ironhide replied. "big idiot still isn't a match for me." he smirked.

"there's a knife in your hand." Will said. Ironhide looked down.

"yeah he stole it from me." he grumbled. he sat down and sighed, wincing. Will frowned and patched him up quickly. it didn't stop the mans shoulder from bleeding though. Will shot a panicked look over to Ratchet, who was watching Ironhide worriedly.

"he needs a doctor." Ratchet said. Will nodded in agreement, putting the knife back into the sheath on Ironhide's ankle.

"yeah. I know." Will muttered. he took the pistol back from Ironhide and stuffed it into the back of his pants as he headed to clean up the blood. he paused hearing another noise. he quickly ducked down behind the couch and listened to the door open. he took a deep breath and popped up quickly, pointing the gun at the door. "freeze you fucking Decepticons!" Will hissed. Optimus was honestly surprised to see a gun pointed him.

"calm down Will. it's just us... what happened here?" Optimus ask looking around. Will lowered the gun and put it away slowly.

"Starscream." Will said. "sorry." he added.

"alright! you and Ironhide kicked ass!" Sam said, looking a little beat up. Will frowned at that.

"not really. Ironhide really needs a doctor. he got shot." Will said. immediately Wheeljack headed upstairs.

"is he with Ratchet?" he ask.

"yeah." Will said, watching him go. he turned back to Sam and Bumblebee. "what happened to you two?" Will ask.

"Trent." Sam said.

"DeMarco?" Will ask. Bumblebee nodded. he looked slightly better than Sam but was still pretty beat up.

"yeah. he and a few friends jumped us. caught us by surprise and beat the crap out of us." Bumblebee said. "too many for me to fight off myself." he added.

"I'll deal with the kid." Will nodded slightly. Bumblebee nodded and winced. Will moved out of the way.

"are you hurt William?" Optimus ask.

"I'm fine. idiot never even realize I was here." Will chuckled slightly. though the Autobot leader could tell he was upset and distressed.

"go check on Ironhide. we'll clean up." Optimus said looking around. Will nodded slightly and headed upstairs. Wheeljack was working on Ironhide when he got up there. the man was either asleep or unconscious.

"how is he?" Will ask.

"he'll be fine. bullet and stab wounds are things we treat on a daily basis. he'll live to be the same asshole he always is." Wheeljack assured. Will sighed in relief.
