A Soldiers Angel (Bumblebee x Reader)

~1~

Location- Qater - Middle East

The propellers cutting through the air allow you to drown out your team cutting up on the way back from a mission you'd successfully completed. Your mind was on calling your Aunt and Uncle today considering it had been a few months since you'd spoken to them. You missed them, even your annoying younger cousin who might as well be your brother at this point. You owed everything to your Aunt and Uncle, who took you in after your parents died right in front of you.

Thankfully your Uncle Ron took you and raised you as is own, no questions asked. He knew it was what his sister, your mother would of wanted. "(Y/n) knows how good gator is! Don't ya chicka!" Figueroa then says catching your attention snapping you from your mind. "Hm? Oh yeah! Epps your really missing out if ya haven't had gator yet." You say backing Fig up making him grin at Epps. "Yeah but I ain't eatin nothin that has crickets with it." Epps says to the both of us with an eye roll.

You giggle at him as Fig starts to rant in Spanish about Epps or something. He always spoke way to fast and you couldn't understand a lick of it. "You zoned out again (L/n)." Lennox says making you look up at him right across from you. You smile lightly, "Yeah I was spaced out. Thinkin about calling my family tonight if that's alright sir." You say and he just smiles at you. "Of course it's okay. Only after I talk to my lady's though." He says with a playful smile making you giggle and nod at him.

The rest of the flight you all spoke of your perfect day. You told your team your idea of a perfect day, was kicking back with your family, and of course teasing your cousin Sam. The chopper landed shortly after, only for you all to gather your gear, and hop into the back of a truck for another thirty minutes drive. The drive to the base didn't take long surprisingly, and the breeze felt good, instead of the blazing heat of this god forsaken desert.

The truck slams to a stop eventually, and you all jump out heading past the "Lagoon" area. It was quite comical to see these big gnarly soldiers in a tiny kiddy pool to find relief from the sun. Then again it was the little things like that, that kept you going. "Hey, (Y/n)! Wanna keep score of a game later? I know you won't cheat!" Epps says before nudging your shoulder almost knocking you over making you giggle and punch your best friends shoulder. "Hell yeah! Ima grab a shower first though!" You say before jogging off towards your bunk area to toss your stuff down and get a change of cloths. Just because your always around these big sweaty, smelly men, doesn't mean you have to stink constantly too.

~Time Skip~

You'd taken a quick shower and were now sitting out with the rest of time team. Epps was playing basketball and you were keeping score for them. Looking down at your watch again, you realize it was about time for Lennox to talk with his wife. "Will! Your Lady's are fixing to call!" You yell to him as he walks past with a boy carrying some extra gear. "Thanks (Y/n)!" He says starting to jog towards the tent where the Skype screen is.

Sitting there for a while longer, and your mind wanders while you keep score of the game going on. Epps makes a slam dunk before doing a victory dance, "And that's game boys!" You yell making the losing team groan in annoyance at Epps little victory dance. "No! That's how it's done!" He says making you laugh at him while shaking your head. "Epps, nobody likes a bragger!" You say with a grin making him roll his eyes at you as you stand.

"It's not bragging if it's true!" He cheers before scooping you up and throwing you over his shoulder playfully. "Ah! Epps come on man!" You protest as he spins your around in his victory. He finally sits you down before rubbing your head playfully and taking off running knowing you'd beat his ass if he didn't. "Epps! Get back here!" You yell with a dangerous grin. You chased him for a minute or two around the tents before he made his way back towards the "Lagoon" area.

Everyone was laughing at him, this giant man, running from little old you. Then again, they all knew you could beat any of their asses with ease, but that's what made it so funny. "Eye chicka! Epps! Come here!" Fig yells suddenly making Epps run towards him and hide behind him before you could grab him. You were both panting in the sunsetting heat now, "I'll get you later Epps. You just wait." You say with a breathless grin making him chuckle at you. "Yeah alright," Epps says with a playful eye roll before looking down at Fig, "Whats up man?" He asks still trying to catch his breath.

"Listen to this. Remember the USAF 4500x that went down in Afghanistan six months ago?" Fig questions the both of you making your brows furrow. You remembered it well, the pilot had been a good friend to you and Lennox. It was shot down months ago leaving no survivors. "Yeah, what about it? Wasn't it shot down?" Epps says just as confused as you looked. "It was... And now it's been spotted heading this way..." Fig informs you both.

You all share the same confused look before a wave of uneasy hits your very core. "That has to be a mistake! It was destroyed..." you say trailing off. "Tell that to the jets escorting it here." Fig says sarcastically making you roll your eyes at him. "Come on guys. Let's go find the Captain." You say turning to walk off to find Lennox. "Why?" Epps questions crossing his arms. You look over your shoulder at him while still walking away, "Because I have a bad feeling about this. Now come on!" You say making Epps and Fig look at each other and shrug before jogging after you.

"Alright split up. You guys go check the landing pad, maybe they called him over there. I'll check the tents." You tell them, they just nod and reluctantly go to check like you asked. You didn't know if you were over reacting or not, but something was off and you were not going to be caught with your pants down. Nor your team, these guys were family to you and you wanted to be sure they were safe while in between missions. Better safe than sorry.

Captain Lennox wasn't in the tents where you can Skype your family. Instead it was full of glitching computer screens and frantic techs running around confused and pissed off. You were about to stop someone and ask what the hell was going on but the sound of gun fire and explosions cut you off. Your brain didn't have time to catch up to your body that was already running towards the commotion. You realized you were hauling ass towards the helipad while everyone else was running form it, but that didn't stop you.

You spotted Epps running back towards you with Fig trailing behind him trying to keep up. He was yelling but you couldn't quite make it out what he was saying over the explosions and rolling tanks, "Were being attacked!!" He yells as he makes it to you. "What!?" You screamed back confused but he didn't answer you. He instead grabs you while still running full speed and tosses you over his shoulder again, "Epps!" You yell making him spin you around in one swift movement so your sprinting with them.

You see the captain staring at the destruction behind you three while you run at him in shock. "Run! RUN!" You yell at him making him start dragging the kid that follows him around all the time as he starts running. Dodging rolling tanks and vehicles that were on fire is harder than you think. Especially when their falling from the sky randomly. "There!" Lennox yells pointing towards some tanks that hadn't been destroyed yet.

You watch Lennox, the kid, and Fig skid under the tanks ahead of you. Epps falls down, tripping over nothing before a huge weapon of some sorts steps over him. You skid to a stop stepping back in awe and fear at the huge metal beast staring down at your terrified friend. Epps stares back into its beady red eyes with his night vision goggles while scooting back some. Panic and fear corse through your veins as you snap out of it and run for a body with a grenade luncher in their dead arms. You jerk it from your fallen comrade before spinning around in a kneeling position, just as the huge weapon makes a gun appear out of its... chest?

You aim for its chest and fire. It explodes in its face, allowing Epps to scramble away from the beast, as it lets out a pissed roar before its deadly red eyes land on you. It releases a giant scorpion looking machine, from its back, that digs into the ground. You gasp as it then points a glowing orange cannon looking thing at you. Scrambling up to your feet, you hear your team screaming for you to run, before you hear the beast fire the giant gun at you. The ground underneath your boots seems to propel you backwards from your team and you see Lennox holding a screaming Epps back from running at you.

It was strange for you to be falling in slow motion. Unfortunately it didn't last long though as your body makes contact with a flipped, half on fire tank. You feel the pain jolt through your back before your skull slams into the unforgiving metal, making your world go instantly black... the last thing you hear is the canon firing and the screaming of dying soldiers.
