Elektra.
I looked up at the lights as they suddenly began to flicker, everyone else looked up as well, I felt Ryan take hold of my hand. My breathing got a little heavier as I heard heavy footsteps and the lights flickered some more. The old man, who I had now found out to be named John looked up.
"Gentlemen, they know the cube is here."
My mouth hung open a little as I clutched at Ryan who wrapped his arm around my waist, I cuddled against him a little, glancing up at Sam who rolled his eyes as he looked at Ryan and turned away. I jumped as Tom thumped on the radio, asking what was going on.
The NB1 hanger has lost power and the back up generator is just not gonna cut it.
The man answered back through the radio, I gasped, I knew what that meant. That alien robot thing was going to come to life. My Dad ran over to Tom.
"Do you have an arms room?"
He asked, my eyes widened, knowing Ryan, my father, Rob and his team were going to arm up and try and take that huge thing on, I knew it was their duty to protect everyone but I didn't want to them to get hurt or killed. We quickly left the small room we had been in and ran down some steps, they weren't going to evacuated unless they really had to. Tom shouted orders from somewhere behind as I ran ahead with Ryan, my father, Rob, the girl, who I now knew was named Maggie, her friend and Sam, racing along beside us as we head to the MB1 chamber. My father, Rob, Ryan and his men began suiting up, ready to take this robot on if it came to life. I stood with Sam, Maggie and her friend as we waited and suddenly there was a loud bang from above us, the lights flickering again. Sam walked towards Seymour as we all kept silent. I followed him, standing next to him. I felt somewhat safer with him, he knew more than anyone what was going on.
"You've gotta take me to my car."
Sam told him, Seymour ignored him and carried on loading his gun.
"You have to take me to my car, now. He's gonna know what to do with the cube."
Sam tried again, yet Seymour shook his head.
"Your car? It's confiscated."
He told Sam, shaking his head and continued loading his gun. I rolled my eyes.
"Well then unconfiscate it! Sam is the only one that knows what's going on, he knows better than all of us! We need to get to his car!"
I shouted, smashing my fist down onto the table where the ammunition for the gun that Seymour was loading was, it rattled about as my fist hit it. Seymour looked at my fist and then at me, a smile spreading across his face as he shook his head.
"Look, don't think you can pretty you're way into everything okay? His car is confiscated."
Seymour hissed at me, his face close to mine as we glared at eachother. I heard footsteps storm towards him and he was pulled back from me by my Dad, he pushed him against the wall, holding him by the scruff of his neck and put his face close to Seymour's.
"Take him to his god damn car!"
Dad shouted, Seymour pushed my Dad back and pointed his gun at him, my Dad quickly took his gun out and pointed it straight back at him, causing everyone to pull out their guns and point them at the people they wanted to protect. I tried to stand in front of my Dad but Ryan pushed me behind him, standing in front of me, his gun pointed at Seymour's men who had their guns pointed at my father and Rob, who was defending him. Maggie's friend put his hands in the air, as did Maggie. Sam was stood behind me. Tom ran into the room.
"Whoa, whoa! Stop this now!"
He demanded, no one listened.
"Drop your weapon's soldier."
Seymour said to my Dad, glancing at Rob, Ryan and his team as well as me as I peered out from behind Ryan.
"There's an alien war going on and you're going to shoot me?"
Seymour asked, chuckling a little. My Dad shook his head, looking absoulutely furious.
"No, we didn't ask to be here. Especially my daughter."
My Dad said, glaring at Seymour. Seymour smirked.
"What so you're going to shoot me in front of your daughter? What a great example you're setting."
Seymour mocked, my Dad punched him in the face and pushed him back against the wall, pushing his gun to his chest. I shook my head, Seymour might be an annoying fuck wit but I didn't want to see him get shot. I stepped out from behind Ryan.
"Dad."
I called, trying to remind him I was here, to make him realise what he was doing, yet he didn't even look back at me.
"Stay out of this, baby."
He called back to me, I sighed and Seymour smirked.
"I'm gonna count to 5."
He told Dad, Dad smirked and pushed the gun harder to Seymour's chest.
"I'm gonna count to 3."
Dad told him, we all stared at Dad and Seymour.
"Simmons."
John called out, Seymour turned his head to look at him and nodded.
"Yes, sir?"
Seymour asked, John smiled smugly.
"Id do as he says. Losing is really not an option for these guys."
John told him, Seymour eventually nodded and I walked over to Dad, pulling at his arm and dragging him away from him as Seymour loaded up his gun and then nodded his head towards a door, I followed up ahead with Sam as we walked into a huge room, I gasped as I saw robot, strapped down a table.
"Stop! Stop! STOP IT! You've gotta stop!"
Sam shouted, Tom told all the people to stop what they were doing as I ran over to the robot, following behind Sam.
"Let him go."
Sam ordered, they let loose the straps and the robot sat up, looking right at me and Sam.
"El, get back!"
Dad shouted from somewhere behind, Sam turned to look at him.
"She's okay, I promise you, Sir."
Sam told my Dad. I grabbed hold of Sam's arm as Bee put his face close to mine. Sam looked at me and smiled as Bee backed away a little.
"It's okay, he wont hurt you. Isn't that right, Bee? You okay?"
He reassured me and then asked 'Bee'. Sam explained everything to Bee and he got up from the table he'd been strapped too, making some odd sounds but Sam seemed to understand them, he shook his head.
"No, no. She's alright."
He said, holding my hand, Bee made some more sounds and Sam shook his head again.
"No, they are all okay. Alright? They are all okay."
Sam said, pointing back towards my father, Rob, Ryan and the others that were all armed with guns, Sam told Bee to put his guns away and had to reassure him a couple of times that none of us here would do anything to harm him. I immediately took a liking to Bumblebee. He was like a child and extremely cute for a robot. Bee put his face near mine again and made some weird noises, I didn't know what he was saying but I could tell he was curious as to who I was.
"Bumblebee, my name is Elektra. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help you, with Sam."
I told him softly, Bee stared at me for a couple more seconds before making some weird noises. I glanced at Sam, pretty much asking him what Bee had said, Sam grinned up at Bee before looking back at me.
"He says okay, lets go get the All spark."
