Skids walked back into the hanger and was immediately met by Jazz, Sunstreaker, and Sideswipe,
"Where is Aero?"
Skids smiled at them,
"Maze is in her room working on things, Mudflap is outside her room doing guard duty,"
Jazz frowned,
"Why?"
"Cuz we were told that she should never be alone, you are catching up with Prowl and so we just decided that was a good idea. Also, she wants Tex to go to her,"
Said Autobot peaked up from his position on Jazz's shoulder,
"Okay!"
Jazz set Tex on the floor and he walked away. Jazz frowned,
"You two have to be ca-"
"We already got the lecture from Maze, and we will be more careful,"
Jazz sighed and went back to stand next to Prowl,
"So, who is the girl exactly?"
"Mazikeen Witwicky. She's a captain in the army-"
"I know, I listened to Lennox talk about her,"
Jazz tilted his head,
"So, what do you want to know?"
Prowl chuckled,
"You seem close to her, who is she to you?"
Jazz's optics widened,
"Oh, she's my charge. I was tasked to be her guardian after Mission City,"
Prowl smirked,
"So, anything else?"
Jazz shook his head,
"No,"
Prowl chuckled,
"Sure,"
𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐧
Tex looked up at her,
"Optimus said that the new recruit is coming right now,"
Mazikeen looked over at him from looking at her phone,
"And Will just said the same thing, come on Tex,"
He quickly climbed onto her shoulder and she walked out to see Mudflap in his alt-mode and his door already open,
"Hop on in, Maze,"
Mazikeen chuckled and climbed into his car,
"Step on it,"
She quickly got to the hangar and stood next to Will and Epps as the Autobots all were transformed into their alt-mode. She briefly glanced at Jazz and her brothers before looking at the plane that was about to land. A young woman walked off with black hair that had dyed blue tips, and light blue eyes.
Mazikeen's eyes widened in shock as she stared at her. When the girl looked over and met Mazikeen's eyes, they widened too. Then, she took out a stick from behind her back,
"YOU BITCH!"
Mazikeen's eyes widened as she ducked,
"HEY!"
The woman walked up to right in front of Mazikeen with a glare,
"No call no text! You fucking died!"
Mazikeen winced,
"Ye-"
She punched her shoulder,
"I swear to the sky if you fucking pull anything EVER like that ever again! Sam was the one to tell me! Then! I had to go to that house to get any information! I was never texted or called about funerals, I found out you were still ALIVE from Rover! AND! It was cuz I asked! You ever pull this shit on me ever again Mazikeen Michela Witwicky I will kill you myself!"
Mazikeen winced and rubbed the back of her neck,
"I love you?"
She sighed and pulled Mazikeen into a tight hug,
"I hate you,"
Mazikeen laughed,
"No, you don't,"
She rolled her eyes and let go of her and pointed a finger at her,
"I have been trying for MONTHS to get in touch with you."
Mazikeen winced,
"Well, I had to get a new phone...cuz mine kinda got destroyed in Qatar, I am sorry, Athena,"
"Ew, first name basis?"
Mazikeen stared at her,
"You mother fucker, you fucking full named me!"
Athena shrugged,
"You died, then came back to life and just fucking ghosted me, of course I'm going to full name you,"
Mazikeen sighed,
"I promise to not do that to you again...especially since you are stationed here...how the fuck did that happen?"
Athena smirked,
"Well, my dad was asked if he knew anyone who wanted to serve, he actually thought of me and sent Morshower my information. I remember you mentioned a Morshower in one of your letters so I said yes,"
"So, your father wanted to get rid of you again and you said yes so you could possibly see me?"
Athena smirked and wrapped an arm around her shoulder,
"Awe, you know me so well,"
Mazikeen laughed,
"Only took twelve years,"
"Holy shit, we did meet when we were eleven...god damn your old,"
"What the fuck? We are literally the same age,"
Athena smirked,
"But I look better,"
Mazikeen rolled her eyes and the two finally looked over at Will and Epps, who were looking at the two in complete shock. Mazikeen smiled at them,
"You guys look like you just saw ghosts,"
Will shook his head,
"You have friends??"
"Before us?!"
Mazikeen gasped as Athena burst out laughing,
"WHAT THE FUCK????"
Athena smirked and nudged her,
"I was your only friend,"
Mazikeen crossed her arms,
"So?"
Will chuckled,
"Well...welcome Athena to NEST,"
"I prefer Aura, but thank you,"
Will nodded,
"Well, you know Mynx, I am Commander William Lennox,"
"I'm Captain Robert Epps,"
Athena saluted at them,
"Just tell me where to go...I was also told there was a secret that we can not tell anyone outside of here?"
Mazikeen's eyes brightened,
"Hell yeah! Come over here! You are going to love them!"
"I'm sorry, them? Did you guys let Maze go a little coo coo?"
Will laughed,
"She already was when we found her,"
"I do not stand for this disrespect,"
Athena smirked and nudged her,
"I have a year to catch up on, let me have this,"
Mazikeen chuckled,
"Whatever,"
They stopped in front of the row of cars, Athena's eyes widened,
"May, did you start working on custom cars??? Because if you have, I take back any bad shit I said about you in my mind,"
Mazikeen stared at her,
"Really Aura?"
Athena shrugged,
"Yeah,"
Mazikeen rolled her eyes and looked at the Autobots,
"Okay, do you guys want an invitation? Come on out and introduce yourselves. I know you got this entire introduction line y'all like,"
Athena stepped back in shock as they all transformed,
"Holy mother of Jesus,"
Mazikeen smirked and crossed her arms,
"Aura, welcome to the big secret of the gov,"
Optimus knelt down in front of the four,
"Hello, Athena, my name is Optimus Prime. We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cybertron."
Athena slowly nodded,
"Cool...take that off the May bingo card,"
Mazikeen's eyes widened,
"WHAT? You had that on the fucking bingo card?"
Athena smirked and crouched down. She took off her shoe and brought out a paper and uncrumpled it to reveal a small list,
"Hell yeah, I did! Beat that May!"
Mazikeen's jaw dropped,
"You fucking said that I would meet fucking aliens???"
Athena nodded,
"Yep! I put every out-of-pocket thing I could think about,"
Everyone watched the two. Will shook his head,
"Pause. Bingo cards?"
Mazikeen and Athena turned over to him and nodded. Athena smirked,
"When we started high school, we decided to make a small game. We wrote out bingo cards for the other to see what would happen to them-"
"I got bingo one time by putting down that Aura would fall out of the window,"
Epps sighed,
"Great...there are two of them now."
Mazikeen and Athena gasped,
"I'm hurt, Epps, truly,"
Epps sighed,
"I'm taking a break,"
Will chuckled and patted Mazikeen's shoulder,
"You go introduce your friend to the Autobots, but then you have to tell us why you have barely mentioned her,"
Mazikeen chuckled and nodded,
"Okay,"
Mazikeen grabbed Athena's hand,
"Okay everyone, if you didn't hear before Optimus introduced himself, this is Athena White, she does prefer being called Aura just as I prefer Maze. She is our newest recruit best known for sniping-"
"How the fuck did you-"
"You are literally my best friend, and you think I didn't read up on what your skills are? Even if I wasn't given a name, I read your record,"
"Stalker,"
Mazikeen punched her shoulder and Athena raised her arms in defense,
"Okay, okay,"
Mazikeen nodded,
"As I was saying. Aura has the best record for sniping in the army, and she was sent over to us because we lost a few snipers. She also volunteered to come after talking to General Morshower,"
Tex ran over to the two and waved at Athena,
"Hello, Athena, my name is Tex,"
Athena's eyes immediately brightened,
"Hello, Tex, awe you are so adorable,"
She immediately picked him up and held him in her arms,
"Oh, I am keeping you,"
Mazikeen's eyes widened,
"Aura!"
Athena looked at her,
"What?"
Tex smiled,
"Sorry, I am already taken by Maze's group,"
Athena gasped and looked at Mazikeen,
"I demand partial custody,"
Mazikeen burst out laughing,
"That didn't work for your parents, why would it work now?"
Athena sighed,
"Because our love is real!"
Arcee tilted her head,
"I thought you were single?"
Mazikeen chuckled and grabbed Tex from Athena,
"Yes, yes I am-"
"How dare you! After all the years we have been together! I'm keeping our son!"
Mazikeen's eyes widened,
"Oh my sky, you still have Rocky?"
Athena smirked and crossed her arms,
"Of course I do!"
Jazz tilted his head,
"I am lost,"
Sunstreaker nodded,
"I did not know we were an uncle to a different human?"
Athena's eyes widened at the word uncle and Mazikeen immediately covered her mouth,
"You are not. Rocky is the name of a fish that we bought together. He was kept at Aura's house cuz I never trusted my family to watch over him,"
Sideswipe tilted his head,
"Fish?"
Ratchet sighed,
"An animal that lives on this planet. Have you not done any of the studying?"
Sideswipe shrugged,
"I fell into recharge reading,"
Mazikeen laughed,
"Okay, headcount! Aura, this is Ratchet, Jolt, Elita-One, Chromia, Arcee, Ironhide, Mudflap, Skids, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Smokescreen, Prowl, Jazz, and Bluestreak,"
Athena looked at Bluestreak for a moment before feeling a jab in the ribs,
"Hello! Nice to meet all of you, but I'm going to drag Maze away right now...so carry along!"
Mazikeen laughed,
"Aura wait hold up,"
Athena stopped tugging her and Mazikeen chuckled,
"Let me give Tex to Jazz,"
Athena sighed,
"Fine fine, give our new son to someone else,"
Tex laughed,
"Do not worry, Athena, I will be back later,"
Athena nodded and looked up at Jazz,
"Take care of him,"
Jazz nodded,
"I always do,"
Mazikeen smiled brightly and nodded,
"Jazz is my guardian. Bumblebee, whom you have not met, is Sammy's guardian,"
Athena's eyes widened,
"Woah hold up. Did you let Sam get into this? You miss over-protective older sister, let your baby brother get sucked into war?"
Mazikeen sighed,
"Oh, that is such a fucking long story,"
Athena slowly nodded and pointed at Jazz,
"Listen, you may be fucking big, but that does not mean that I will kick your ass if you let anything else happen to my best friend here,"
Jazz nodded,
"Do not worry,"
Athena crossed her arms,
"I better not have to,"
Mazikeen grabbed Athena,
"Okay, I'm taking you to my room. See you later!"
Jazz nodded his head and watched the two leave. Prowl walked up to him,
"So, how are you liking the new human?"
Jazz shrugged,
"No comment,"
Prowl slowly nodded,
"Sure, not even when you glared at her?"
Jazz glanced at Prowl,
"I did not,"
Sunstreaker laughed,
"Oh, you did buddy,"
Sideswipe nodded,
"I could feel the heat from over here,"
Jazz rolled his eyes,
"I don't know what you are talking about,"
Arcee laughed,
"Okay, you keep thinking that, I'm going over to train,"
Chromia smirked,
"I'm coming,"
Jazz watched as everyone left and Tex stayed on his shoulder,
"Jazz?"
"Yes?"
"Does this change anything?"
"What do you mean?"
Tex looked down at his feet,
"Well, Mazikeen has never told us about her friends before she joined the army...and Will along with Epps did not know Athena...so does that mean now that she has her friend back, that we will no longer be needed as often?"
Jazz immediately put Tex in his servo and brought him to his face,
"Tex. Lil M may not always need us...but she does want us, or at least she will always want you. You are her sparkling, you are very important to her and she loves you. Just because she has her friend back, does not mean that we will not remain close to her,"
Tex nodded and hugged him,
"Thank you, Jazz,"
"Anytime, Tex,"
