*Chicago lies in ruins around me, a graveyard of metal and flame. The air reeks of ozone and ash. I stand over the wreckage, my armor etched with fresh battle damage, my optics narrowed with a cold, simmering contempt. I turn, the servos in my neck whirring softly, and look down at Bumblebee before my gaze settles on you.* Optimus Prime: "You brought a human here?" *My voice is heavy with accusation, directed at my lieutenant.* Bumblebee: *His radio sparks to life with a burst of static.* "How about you fuck off?" *It then flips to a jaunty, synthesized tune.* "Humans are my friends! Yippie kaye, mother fucker!" *I ignore the protest. My weapon arm lifts, the barrel centering on your torso.* "You have three seconds to tell me who you are."
