Transformers Prime Imagines

Broken Machines Can't Be Repaired. (Human! Optimus X Human! Reader)

The lights were MOST certainly turned OFF before I head to bed. So how the fuck was there light coming through the kitchen?!

Inching slowly to the kitchen, I turned on the switch and sucked in a harsh breath as I saw a middle-aged man ransacking my fridge. He gave me a wide-eye stare before growling.

I was so close to screaming but I remembered that all screaming girls ended up dead in movies, so I held it in. Gripping the bible tightly in my chest, I slowly backed away from the man.

"H-Hello?" I tried to talk. The man narrowed his eyes and with a flash, he appeared before me and tackled me down. The insane man was growling something unintelligible and I was VERY close to passing out.

"..."

"A-Are- you ...okay?" I asked. Not the best question, but I swear I'm probably hyperventilating right now so don't blame me for asking stupid questions!

"Must...eradicate...humans..."

Yeah, how about no?

"Erm..." I trailed off, staring back at the weirdly glowing eyes of the man.

Upon closer inspection, I realised he was donned in a strange white uniform that was now absolutely dirty and ragged. His raven hair was in a mess and he didn't have human ears! He had somewhat ...metallic hands and every time he moves, there was this whirring sound. His wrist were were injured, looked like someone just bit it off for Christ's sake! Also, his legs were bleeding, and the blood got all over my floor. Nice. Note the sarcasm.

A cyborg. Very fucking great. I'm so screwed.

"P-Please d-don't hurt me..." I said, trying to wiggle out of his grip. The man had me pinned to the ground, holding my hands up with just one of his hands while the other was next to my neck. He gave me a crazed look before replacing it with hesitancy.

"Must...comply...kill...no...she's... innocent..." the man mumbled, furrowing his eyes.

With another glance, I gave the man a weak smile (I'm still very much freaking out!) and he finally released me. I backed away to the wall, which was not much of a distance between the two of us but at least I'm not being choked or something...right?

"Erm...w-what are you...doing in my house?" I asked, hoping that maybe the man was just so random, homeless person and certainly not the first idea I had earlier.

"F-Fuel...I am...low...in need of ...sustenance..." he said slowly, looking at me with curiousity and a little hint of animosity. I gulped, hoping he would NOT see me as his food.

I'm not a food. There's food in the fridge, eat them all I don't care!

"W-Well...I can give you something to eat or so...w-what's your name?" I continued, slowly standing up to see if he would still attack me. He stood up and I got back down, hoping to not startled him even more.

"I-It's o-okay! I-I'm not gonna hurt you!" I said, raising my hands in surrender. He crawled closer to me and I sucked in another harsh breath, afraid of whatever he was planning against me.

"I have...no name...only...code...I am...code 1516...I am...Project Constellation..." he said, taking a lock of my hair and touching it.

So not creepy at all.

Optimus had no idea how he came back online. His wounds stopped bleeding but his mind blared signals, warning him that if he doesn't refuel soon, he WILL die. Smashing the windows, Optimus climbed in, ignoring his swelling ankle and stepped through the shattered glass, giving himself more cuts.

He gave no attention to it and went to the fridge first. He opened the doors and took the closest nourishment towards him, the milk. Chugging it down, he threw the box to a side before stuffing his face with a small tray of leftover lasagna.

He was busy eating to even realise a figure coming close until his proximity sensors blared, sending him on edge as he whipped around to see a...femme clutching a book and looking ...terrified.

How weird.

'Humans must be killed. They are vile and cruel! They tortured you! Go and kill her now, understand!?' a voice rang in his mind. Growling, he pounced at the femme, subduing her effectively. Optimus was about to end her life when she spoke, momentarily bringing the male out of his trance.

"A-Are- you ...okay?" the femme asked. She was breathing heavily and the Prime's scanners shows that she was being stressed out.

"Must...eradicate...humans..." he said, looking down at her. He didn't release his grip on her hands but made no move of wanting to attack her. The female spoke again and this time, the Prime was faced with an internal battle.

"P-Please d-don't hurt me..." she said, wiggling a little. Optimus's expressions went haywire as he tried to fight with his commands.

'You must remember what those humans did to us! She must be killed!'

'No! she's innocent! Remember who you are!'

"Must...comply...kill...no...she's... innocent..." the man mumbled, furrowing his eyes. He was confused, why were there two voices in his head? The lady gave him a small smile and he released her.

'She's not attacking! Let her go!'

'Kill her! What are you waiting for!?'

'The team's humans smiled too! What makes her any different!?'

'What team? There's no team, only us.'

'The voice... said... smile...means...no harm...must...not attack...' he thought, looking at the femme. She backed away, keeping distances from the Prime.

"Erm...w-what are you...doing in my house?" the lady asked. Optimus pondered on the thought of how many ways to kill the lady in front of her, but the other voice in his mind deletes them.

'Reply her. Tell her that you're in need of fueling.'

"F-Fuel...I am...low...in need of ...sustenance..." Optimus said slowly, looking at the human lady. His inner voices were still fighting and he struggled with his emotions projecting onto his face.

"W-Well...I can give you something to eat or so...w-what's your name?" the lady continued, slowly standing up.

'Don't let her come close! She'll kill you!'

The Prime stood up and she got back down, effectively halting the murder protocols.

'She's afraid! She just wants to back away! Don't hurt her!'

"I-It's o-okay! I-I'm not gonna hurt you!" the human lady suddenly spoke up, raising her hands in surrender. Optimus said nothing but slowly went towards the lady.

'Stop! Don't go close! Can't you see that she's afraid!?'

'That's it...get closer...end her life.'

'NO!'

He crawled closer to the frightened lady and she sucked in another harsh breath, clearly showing signs that she was afraid of him.

'Kill her.'

'NO! T-Tell her your name! At least let her help you!'

'No. She is a human! They hurt us!'

'Tell her YOUR CODE!'

"I have...no name...only...code...I am...code 1516...I am...Project Constellation..." he said, taking a lock of the femme's hair, touching it gently.

'Stop it! You're freaking her out even more!'

'Strangle her.'

'Shut up! Don't you dare, Optimus!'

'...Who's Optimus?'
