Nitro drives Ethan to his house, he looks out the window with a gloom, Nitro looks over at him "Hey, I'm getting worried, is everything ok?" Ethan continues to look at the window "Yeah, like I said earlier." He yawns, Nitro looks back at the road Somethings wrong... I can feel it Nitro thinks to herself, the drive continues to be silent without a word spoken.
"Alright we're here." Nitro stops the car, Ethan wakes up "Oh, thanks for dropping me off." Ethan gets out and closes the door "See you tomorrow" Ethan walks to his house and Nitro drives off
she drives around the town seeing what else was there, then she seen lots of nice and colorful cars driving down one path way, she was curious. She wondered where they we're going so she followed them leading to a place with lots of people and cars I wonder why there's so many humans here.. "Ay yo! The race is about to start in 3 minutes! Get ready everyone!" A guy with a leather jean jacket yells out, Nitro herd the word 'race' "Oh so this is what this whole group thing is about?" Nitro says to herself, she pulls up and gets ready to start "Ooo I haven't done this in a long time." Nitro grips her wheel in her holoform, she takes a picture and sends it to Ethan
She chuckles and puts her phone away, she looks to see if there's anymore racers coming and the last of them get ready for the race "Alrightly folks are you ready?" Nitro grips the wheel "Firing up in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1!!!" Nitro speeds up and turns a rough corner almost spinning out "This is easy as hell." She speeds up even more almost reaching the finish line then a red Aston Martin V19 speeds up in front of her winning the race, Nitro makes a wtf face as she slows down a bit "Show off.." she parks and watches as the car drives off, she then follows "Ima see what this human looks like, they're a pretty good driver"
Nitro continues to follow him all the way to a forest "this is suspicious..." she says as she stops her vehicle and waits for something to happen as the car stops, then the car transforms making Nitro cover her mouth quickly "I know someone is following me.. show yourself!" The Mech said as Nitro starts to regret everything SHIT SHIT SHIT Nitro says to herself not knowing what to do "You have 5 seconds to show yourself or else things won't be pretty.." Nitro grips her wheel and drives at the speed of light, the Mech transforms and chases after her, Nitro starts freaking out "What the fuck was I thinking!!" She drifts a corner trying to get away then she slides the wrong way causing her to go off the road and crashing, Nitro looks over see the mech transforming and walking toward her "I see that this human isn't a good driver now are they?" He looks at Nitros holoform, he rips the door off to get to her but then she transforms in pain from the door being ripped off "Oh.. a femme I see.." Nitro grabs her missing wing and walks backwards trying to avoid the Mech, he looks at her spike on her shoulder and sees the deception imprint "Wait.. you cannot be a deception... I've never seen you before!" Nitro scoffs "I am a rouge and I am not affiliated with the deceptions anymore." The mech rolled his optics "I see then, why were you following me... oh yeah, I beat you in the race, I see" he laughs, Nitro turns blue in embarrassment "Well- I wanted to see who beat me.." the Mech smiles "Ok ok fine I'll let you go and.. I guess I'll reattach your wing... sense I ripped it off, it won't stay on for long since I don't have the right tools." The mech crossed his arms, Nitro nods "Thanks, I guess."
Nitro waves before driving off and the mech waves back, she drives to her pod once again to go to sleep but then she hears something in the flowers "Oh what now?" Nitro transforms to see and then a bunch of fire flies fly around creating light around her, she looks at them and sighs "Whew.. thought it was those Auto bots." She looks around at the fire flies and her eyes widen a bit, she reaches her hand out and some land on her servo, she smiles as they fly off from her ||So I see your here again|| Bumblebee beeps, Nitro jumps and turns around "Ok first of all fuck you you scared me." Nitro says in a serious and steady tone ||Woah easy with the language Nitro|| Bumblebee puts his servos up
"Don't act like we're buddies scout." She scoffs "Why are you here? What do you want." She pulls out her katanas ||Prime told me to see if you caused trouble or not, I'm gonna assume you didn't|| Nitro lowers her katanas "No... I haven't, now leave me alone I like my own personal space." Bumblebee nods ||Ok I'll leave, just don't cause any trouble.|| he transforms and drives away, Nitro groans in frustration and puts her katanas away "Can't I ever be left alone." She lays down in her pods and goes to sleep.
Flashback from Nitros memories
"So, any tasks for me to do my liege?" Nitro walks over to Megatron "No, but I do need you to go energon hunting with Starscream" Megatron turns around and looks at her "Oh... um yes sir I'll do that right away." Nitro walks away
"YO STREAMY! MEGATRON NEEDS US TO DO SOMETHING!" Nitro yells at Starscream "Can't I ever take a statis nap without you or Megatron bickering about doing something?" Starscream gets up from his berth "Look I think your a cool guy and Ima pretend you didn't say that, it's not my fault Megatron is bossy as fuck, I mean we are working for him." Starscream snickers "That is one thing your right about.. but why can't you just go with Hourglass." Starscream walks towards the door "Cause he's a medic...remember? He can't do anything really." Nitro puts her hand on her hip "Let's just hurry up and go"
Nitro stretches in her pod, she stands up and puts her hands on her hips "I'm hungry, Im gonna go to Ethans house" she transforms and drives off
she arrives at Ethans house and starts honking, Ethan comes out and gets in "Hey you wanna go get some food? Afterwards we're gonna go to the base" "Yeah sure I'm starving" Nitro starts the car "Ok let's go"
They stop at a diner and get breakfast, Ethan looks at Nitros plate and his eyebrows lowered "How in the world do you stay so fit and you eat like there's no tomorrow and I'll just eat a sandwich and I gain like 3 pounds or something" Ethan rants "Food doesn't really fill me up... it never does" Nitro eats her pancakes with her bare hands, Ethan shrugs his shoulders and continues to eat his food
Small time skip to when they arrive at the base
Nitro and Ethan go through the ground bridge "So what did we miss?" Nitro walks up the stairs "Nothing much actually.. everyone is doing their chores." Ratchet continues to look at a data pad "You are free to go help them." Ratchet looks up at her and Ethan "Yeah no thank you." Nitro sits down on one of the steps and Ethan plops himself on the couch, Nitro starts to draw flowers she seen in the field in her notepad. She wondered what was missing, color. "Hey Eth!" Nitro yells to Ethan "Yeah?" He looks over to her "You know a places where I could get something to color in my drawings?" Nitro showed Ethan "Woah that looks really good! I'd recommend going to the craft store or something I don't know not much of an art person, you need some money?" Nitro nods "Ok here's $10 that should be enough" Ethan gives her the money "Ok thanks I'll go later." Nitro gets up and walks down the stairs "So where's Optimus?" She looks up at Ratchet "He's in his berth room, I don't think he wants to be bothered." Ratchet looks down at her "Alright.. I'll just, walk around I guess." She puts her notepad down on the step and walks to the hallway
She walks to a point where there's no one around and she transforms to stretch "Yep- I needed that." She continues to walk in her Cybertronian form all the way to the energon room once again to drink a cube of energon, she throws the cube behind her as careless as she could. She grabs a small cube and puts it in her chest compartment and then closes it "Ight time to head out before someone catches me" she says to herself and walks down the hallway not shutting the door
Before entering the main room she transforms into her holoform and walks in "Where have you been? It's been almost one earth hour." Ratchet looks down at her "Didn't know you cared." She walks towards the stairs and sits down "Also is Optimus still busy?" Nitro looks back at him "No he's not actually, he's in the storage room if you want to walk over there." He continues to look at more data pads, she gets up and brings her notepad with her "Ok then see you in a bit." She leaves the main room and exits to the hallway
She finally arrives at the storage room where Optimus is organizing crates "Hey!" Nitro yells out, Optimus looks over to her "Oh hi Andrea, I didn't see you there." He puts the crate down "Oh sorry if I was bothering you, I can wait for you to finish." Optimus shakes his head "It's alright, what do you need?" Nitro holds her notepad to her chest "I was wondering if I could go to the uh.. the art store?" Nitro says confused wondering if she said it right "You need a ride?" Optimus raised a brow "Yeah I need a ride." Nitro said awkwardly "Alright then." He lowered his servo down to her and she hopped on, he put her on his shoulder and they started walking to the main room "What do you need to get?" Optimus looked at her "Just something to color in my drawings, and maybe some other stuff if I have enough money" she looked at her notepad, they walk into the main room and Ratchet looked over at Optimus and Nitro "Where are two going?" He asked curiosity "Andrea needs a ride to a store." Optimus looked over to Ratchet "Alright, just be safe." Ratchet turns back to the computer "I will." Nitro sees Ratchet let out a small smile "hmm." "What was that?" Optimus looks at Nitro "Oh nothing."
They start driving towards town, Nitro draws in her notepad as she waits "Do you not have your own vehicle?" Optimus asks nicely, Nitro looks up "Oh uhh.. No." Nitro goes back to drawing "How do you go to school then?" Nitro looks up again "I walk." She looks out the window "I live near a flower field, it's kinda far from the school but it's a nice way there." Nitro looks at the screen where Optimus talks out of "The flower field by the mountains?" Optimus asked curiously "Yeah... why?" It was quiet for a couple of seconds "Prime?" Nitro asks in a worried tone "Sorry... I zoned out." Primes zone out? That's kinda out of the ordinary. Nitro thought "That's a long walk to the school, are you sure that's healthy for a human?" Nitro looked to the side Is it? I have no idea I'm just making shit up- Nitro thinks I'm her head "Yeahhh?" Nitro said unsure and the rest of the way was quiet
"Thanks for the ride I'll be back in a couple of minutes" Nitro gets out and shuts the door, she walks in the store and looks around "Whoa... this place is colorful." Nitro looked around amazed, a young woman walks up to her "Hello! How may I help you today" Nitro looks down at her "Uh.. yeah you know where I can get some colors?" The woman looks at her confused "You mean like paint and colored pencils? Like these?" She grabs some colored pencils off a shelf "Yeah." The woman smiles "Ok then! Anything else?" The woman gives Nitro the color pencils "No thank y- actually yeah I need some green paint, like spray paint.. got any like this color?" She shows her her jacket "Oh yeah we have tons! I'll be right back." The woman walks away "Oh this is too easy.." Nitro smiles
Nitro gets in and puts the bags down "You ready?" Nitro looks at the screen "Yeah we need to hurry up I gotta get home." She lied "Alright then." He drove off and Nitro leaned back on the seat in victory, holding the $10 in her hand.
