Transformers In Between

Chapter 1 - Avatars Part 2

Blue eyes blinked as the masses of people around him, his head moving from side to side as he tried to find a certain group of five he had been separated from. Bumblebee scratched the back of his neck, trying to figure out where to go. While it was true he had been on Earth longer, this was his first time activating his avatar and fitting in with the humans around him, so he had no experience with being out in public.

He could hear giggling from somewhere behind him, making him tilted his head innocently to see a group of human femmes looking over at him and talking quietly amongst themselves. Judging by the way, they kept flickering their gazes over at him and then back between each other, Bee knew that he was the topic of the discussion.

It was times like these were it really helped having someone like Alex around to get out of situations of any kind.

The blonde avatar looked around once more, hopeful blue eyes scanning the crowd for the redhead or at least someone he knew to help him out. Only to find no one around. Bee cursed silently at his situation before he quickly moved his feet back the way he came, hoping to find someone there.

Heck even his arch-rival in Alex's affection would be better than nothing.

"Alex I assure you, Bumblebee will be fine on his own." Optimus attempted to reassure the redhead next to him as he, Alex and the majority of his team walked around the district, trying to find any sign of the yellow scout. "There is no need to panic." the black and blue haired avatar looked over at the redhead, watching as she shifted her eyes around, glancing around for any signs of the youngest of his team.

"I'm not panicking, does it look like I'm panicking?" the redhead tossed back with a raised brow, glancing over at the human Prime before she looked back at the crowds around her.

"Bumblebee's been on Earth longer than any of us." Ironhide pointed out with an unbothered tone as he looked around the stores they were passing, not all bothered by the fiery human beside him.

"I know. You don't need to remind me." Alex grunted as she brushed a hand through her bright locks, pulling her hair out of her face as she did so.

"...Though I do appreciate your concern for him." Optimus added as he glanced around, quite curious on where his scout had gone and what the youngest was doing.

It wasn't hard to figure out why Alex was so...cautious around her own kind when it came to him and the rest of his squadron.

After the recent events with Sector Seven, and the fact the redhead had seen what they were doing to the scout when she found him, it left a mark on her. A reminder that not all humans are as...passive about the Transformers being on their planet. And all four of them were relieved at the fact someone of the human race was keeping an eye out for them, 'Watching their backs' as the humans would say.

"Chill out Spitfire." Jazz slung on arm over her shoulder, grinning at the human femme. "I'm sure the kid's fine! He's a big boy he can handle himself." the SIC reassured casually while the other three looked at him with confused brows raised at his wording, still unfamiliar with human slang and words.

Alex sighed through her nose at his words, shoulders slumping slightly before she shook her head ruffling the red strands that fell onto her face.

"Fine, I'll relax." the redhead caved in with a tilt of her head. "Just keep an eye out for him, please?" she requested simply as she walked forward at a much calmer pace than the death marching one she had a few seconds ago.
