Convoy

                                    

                                          
"Prime! Prime!!" Fowler yelled through the video feed on Ratchet's computer.
                          
"Special Agent Fowler, to what do we owe-" Optimus greeted but was interrupted by Fowler.
                          
"What else cons! I chased them off with some hard ordnance but not before they blew me out of the sky!" Fowler ranted.  Lia was wearing a military green camouflage tank top, navy blue jeans and black combat boots, snorted in amusement that Fowler got shot out of the sky again as she reads her mother's journal learning more about her father, Leland Bishop.  "They tried a smash and grab for the Dingus," Fowler informed.
                          
"The what's it?" Arcee questioned raising her brow.
                          
"Dynamic nuclear generation system aka dingus It's a prototype energy source and porting it to the cost for testing," Fowler explained.
                          
Ratchet scoffed at that, "That's absurd. Why would Starscream bother with such primitive technology?" he questioned.
                          
"I'm guessing to make a big bad primitive weapon of mass destruction. If this baby were to meltdown, it would irradiate this state and the four next door," Fowler informed.
                          
"uh, did Agent Fowler say what state he was currently in?" Raf questioned scared as Amelia places a comforting hand on Raf's shoulder, she had her glock and blaster holstered on her belt on each side of her hips.
                          
"I'm a sitting duck here, Prime. I need you to spin up your bridge and send the dingus  to its destination before the cons come back for it," Fowler told.
                          
Optimus shook his helm, "I'm afraid that sending such a volatile device through a groundbridge is out of the question. If there were to be an accident during its transmission the radiation of which you speak could propagate through the groundbridge vortex and harm all fifty states and beyond," Optimus explained.
                          
"You got any better ideas?" Fowler questioned not wanting to start a nuclear wasteland.
                          
An hour later, Amelia is sitting in Optimus's vehicle mode with Fowler, "Please, tell me why your tagging along?" Fowler questioned in a almost fatherly tone.
                          
"I have a blaster that can do damage against cons. Plus it will look like we are a father and daughter moving cross country," Amelia explained buckling her seat belt.
                          
"Heh, didn't think of that. But are you sure you should be here?" Fowler questioned again as Amelia nod her head.  Turning his attention to the steering wheel he was about to drive when Optimus stopped him.
                          
"Ah, no need Agent Fowler. I will handle the driving," Optimus informed.
                          
Fowler crossed his arms childishly, "It's gonna be a long trip," he muttered as Amelia smiled, amused by his antics, 'Fowler is kind a like a father figure I never had. I wish my own father didn't allow that scientist who worked for an organization called MECH. Mom kept track of their every move in case they ever found me, before you went missing,' Amelia thought.
                          
"Autobots, roll out!" Optimus ordered, beginning their long journey.  Amelia was daydreaming about what Cybertron would have looked like before the Autobots and Decepticons went to war, hearing honking brought her back to reality.  She saw Fowler honking at a slow old pick-up truck, "Agent Fowler, is that really necessary?" Optimus questioned.
                          
"Aw, don't tell me you one of them textbook drivers. Hump!" Fowler disappointingly muttered.  He glanced at Amelia who was gazing at the passing scenery, "So uh, why are you staying with the bots?" Fowler curiously asked not knowing that Sonya Moore has gone missing.
                          
"My mom's missing and my home was broken into. Right now I'm staying with the Autobots until I can sell the house and find a new one for me and my little sister while searching for answer on my mom's whereabouts at the same time," Amelia answered not knowing that everyone had heard her including Ratchet and the three humans.
                          
"What about your father? Where is he?" Fowler asked.
                          
A bitter laugh escaped Amelia's mouth, "I barely remember him but I did find out in my mom's journal that he allowed a scientist to use me as a test subject when I was severely sick from an unknown sickness. My mom thought that you Autobots when you came to Earth could save me from my unknown sickness but she was too late. When she returned to check up on me, she witnessed the scientist inject an untested substance into my bloodstream," Amelia explained feeling numb while Arcee was furious when her motherly instinct kicked in.  "Mom was furious with my father as he allowed that scientist to experiment on me. So she took me, knocking my father and the scientist unconscious and covered our tracks. For years she has been training me and my sister in case that the organization would try a take me back," she continued in a monotone voice.
                          
"What was the organization called," Optimus gently questioned Amelia.
                          
"MECH and my father is apart of that organization and his name is Leland Bishop," Amelia informed.
                          
"I promise you this, Amelia that we will protect you from them along with your sister. And we will find your mother," Optimus promised as Amelia gave both Fowler and Optimus a grateful smile.
                          
"My sister will be safe from them," Amelia told as Fowler was confused, she saw Fowler's confusion so Amelia clarified, "Me and mom have red hair and green eyes while my sister has blonde hair and blue eyes because she's adopted since I was ten."  Amelia saw in Fowler's rear view mirrors a helicopter was following them, "We got company," she informed.
                          
Fowler saw what Amelia was talking about, "That's the one! The con who shot me down. Who is he, Wingnut, Dingbat, Skyguy?" Fowler questioned as Bulkhead radioed that they have more company  behind them.
                          
"Feeling a little constricted without the use of my fists here boss," Bulkhead told.
                          
"Remain in vehicular mode unless absolutely necessary," Optimus commanded.
                          
"A whole team of cons," Fowler muttered as Amelia preparing herself in case she needs to do something drastic.  One of the cars pulled up to Fowler's side as the sunroof opened up to reveal a human pointing his gun at Fowler.
                          
"Pull over," the person ordered.
                          
"Well I'll be dipped," Fowler was surprised that it wasn't Decepticons but humans trying to take the dingus.
                          
"Our assailants are not Decepticons, they are human," Optimus informed everyone.
                          
"Fowler duck!" Amelia ordered as he did what she said, Amelia shot her blaster at the gun man knocking him off course.  One of the creeps jumped onto the latch, Amelia saw this and begins to make her way to the creep, startling Optimus and Fowler.  "Hey ugly!" she yelled catching the guy off guard as she kicks the laser cutter out of his hands, Amelia quickly puts him in a chokehold, "Who do you work for?" 
                          
"M-MECH," he answered struggling to break free from her iron grip.  Amelia threw him off of Optimus's vehicle mode as she holds on when she glares at the helicopter as her red hair blew through the wind.
                          
"Optimus, we're dealing with MECH," Amelia informed as she had an earpiece in her right ear, pulling out her glock she aims at the MECHs tires causing a domino effect.
                          
"Understood," Optimus informed as Amelia went back inside the vehicle.  They were being shot at by Decepticons when the Autobots were near a cliff, "Agent Fowler, that you and we are to survive. It has become absolutely necessary to drop our cover," Optimus transformed as he places Amelia and Fowler on a cliff. 
                          
Amelia aimed her blaster at the Decepticons when she heard a voice on Fowler's walkie-talkie that she will thought she will not ever that voice again.  Shaking her head Amelia focuses on the task on hand helping the bots since the Decepticons threw Optimus off the cliff.  Taking aim at the Decepticons head as she takes them down one by one thinning out the herd of cons.  Finishing the last con off Arcee approached Bulkhead and Bumblebee, "Where's Optimus?" she questioned.
                          
"He had a train to catch," Fowler answered as Amelia's hands were shaking uncontrollably, "Hey what's wrong?"
                          
"Who was that man on the radio?" Amelia asked scared that it might who she think it is.
                          
"He calls himself Silas, why?" Fowler questioned as Amelia hugs herself.
                          
"That was my father's voice. Even though I can't remember his face but I recognized his voice," she answered as tears trailed down her cheeks.  Arcee gently picked Amelia up and hugged her, comforting the distraught teenager.
