Jack & Miko
Jack and Miko
“A new bot!” Gasped Miko, rushing over to them. The Burns had gathered around Cody, as Arcee and the other Autobots stopped short of the group, “Who’re you?”
“Prowl.” Said the Bot, shortly. He looked like Smokescreen, except his optics were covered by a visor that looked like a pair of sunglasses and his chevrons resembled Ratchets and he looked like the type of police officer that was an asshole for no other reason than to be an asshole.
Wheeljack groaned and slumped, he and Prowl did not get along.
“I am correct in understanding that Optimus is communicating with Autobots in the field?” Asked Prowl, looking around the group.
“Er, yes, sir?” Responded Heatwave, not sure how to respond to Prowl.
“I’ll save my report until he has finished,” Stated Prowl, “I’d rather not repeat myself.”
The atmosphere was tense, while they all waited for Optimus. Optimus exited the Communications Centre to be greeted by the Autobots, Rescue Bots and Prowl.
“Sir!” Saluted Prowl, snapping to attention.
“At ease Prowl.” Said Optimus, looking at the tactician.
“Sir, I regret to inform you that the Decepticon known as Roadkill was able to escape capture.” Reported Prowl, “I have been following his trail for the past four Earth Stellar cycles, before I tracked him to this Island, where he escaped through a space bridge portal.”
Optimus sighed and closed his optics, “Chief Burns, I take it that Agent Fowler alerted you to the course of action that would be taken if the Decepticon would escape.”
“He did.” Confirmed the Chief, his tone flat.
“Wait, course of action? What course of action?” Asked Kade, looking between his father and Optimus.
“As long a Cody remains here, his life is at risk,” Said Optimus, looking down at Kade, “as well as yours.”
“So, what, we all go into hiding or something?” Asked Graham, confused.
“Normally, that would be the case,” Said Optimus, shuttering his optics, “however, as Cody is the only target, and that the Rescue Team has been assigned here, Cody, and only Cody, will be placed under Autobot Protection until Roadkill has been dealt with.”
“H-how long will that be?” Asked Dani, getting Optimus to look at her.
“I do not know, Danielle.” Said Optimus, “Hopefully, sooner rather than later.”
J&M
Jack helped Kade and Graham lift Cody’s bags into Bulkhead. Miko was hanging around Prowl, no doubt trying to cheer Cody up, Raf was ecstatic when he found out that Cody could understand Bumblebee as well. When Optimus gave him the key to Vector Sigma, he’d said he was impressed by how much Jack had matured. Personally, Jack thought the same thing about Miko, the girl had matured greatly, especially after the business with Hardshell. Cody looked close to tears, which Jack could understand, after MECH and Airachnid kidnapped his mom, Fowler had said about relocating both of them and giving them new identities, Jack also knew that Raf was aware of the stress of being move away from your home. But in their cases, they were with family. Cody just had himself.
Optimus had assigned Prowl as Cody’s guardian. Jack sighed through his nose and approached Cody.
“Okay, that’s everything.” Said Jack, looking down at Cody, “You okay, bud?”
“Yeah,” muttered Cody, despondent looking around is home for what could be the last time, “I guess I never thought I’d leave.”
“Don’t worry,” Said Miko, slumping against Bulkhead’s side, “There’s nothing the Bot’s can’t handle.”
“Miko.” Said Bulkhead, turning his engine on, “It’s time to go.”
Cody walked off to say goodbye to his family, while Jack remained with Miko.
“He looks so lost.” Mumbled Miko, Jack nodding.
“His entire world’s just been knocked off kilter.” Said Jack, his heart felt heavy, “The only thing we can do is help him with the transition.”
Miko cracked a smile, “Look at you, Jack-timus Prime.”
Jack gave Miko a flat look, “Never call me that again.”
Miko threw Jack a smirk, before climbing into Bulkhead, with Jack getting on Arcee. Cody finished saying goodbye, with Prowl transforming and opening his door for the boy. Jack got ready to set off, when Cody’s friend, Frankie, turned up and started with her own goodbyes. Jack knew that Cody was doing his best not to cry.
Jack just hoped that what they could do for Cody was enough.
J&M
Miko absently plucked her guitar strings, a small shuffling sound catching her attention. Glancing up, Miko spotted Cody staring at her, or more accurately her guitar.
“You ever play?” Asked Miko, lifting the guitar up. Cody shook his head, ever since Cody had moved, he hadn’t been talking, “Come on, I’ll show you.”
Miko patted the seat next to her, giving Cody welcoming smile. Cody made his way over to next to Miko, the Japanese girl placing the instrument into Cody’s hands, adjusting his hand placement and grip.
Jack looked up from his homework, his eyes freezing on Miko with Cody, teaching him how to use the instrument. Jack’s heart warmed at the sight, Cody was around Raf’s age, twelve-to-thirteen, but he suffered from recurring nightmares of Roadkill and his mother.
“You’re doing great.” Praised Miko, placing a hand on Cody’s shoulder.
Cody gave a shaky smile. Jack had a smile of his own, he was glad that at least one of them was connecting with Cody. Miko notice Jack looking at them, throwing him a discreet thumbs up, a small blush on her cheeks.
Over the next few days, slowly, but surely, Jack, Miko and Raf got Cody to start opening up. A week later, Cody came into base in tears and Jack came in with a broken hand.
“What happened?” Demanded Ratchet, as Miko sat next to Cody on the sofa, doing her best to comfort him.
“Vince,” Snarled Jack, pacing around, “happened, he thought it’d be a good ‘make an example’ of Cody.”
“Vince got physical with Cody,” Said Miko, as Cody’s face was buried in her shoulder, “since Raf and his family are house hunting and he found out that crossing us was a bad idea, he decided to go for the weakest loner he could find. Jack did knock some sense into him though.”
“Part of me wishes I just settled with one punch.” Muttered Jack, wincing as he felt his hand, “I’ve been suspended from school for breaking Vince’s nose and taking a few teeth out. It would’ve been worse, if Fowler didn’t turn up. How did Fowler know to show up, anyway?”
“Speed dial.” Said Miko, as Cody sniffled.
“I don’t know what Fowler said, but it was enough to scare both Vince and the principle.” Remarked Jack, wincing as he found the broken bone, “This is gonna hurt.”
There was a crack as Jack reset the bone, Jack let out a pained whine, “Shouldn’t’ve done that.”
“I’ll say,” Said Miko, looking sick, “I hope you plan on fixing that in a hospital.”
Jack looked at his hand and then glanced down to his pocket, “Miko, this is going to sound weird, but can you get my phone out of my pocket for me?”
Miko looked at Jack and smirked. Miko strutted her way over and slipped her hand into Jack’s pocket and grabbed his phone, “Cody appreciates what you did today.”
“It wasn’t enough.” Mumbled Jack, as Miko pulled his phone out. Instead of giving Jack the phone, Miko flipped it open and started going through the contacts and calling Jack’s mother.
“Nurse Darby?” Asked Miko, her voice taking a formal tone, “I’m afraid Jack’s broken his hand and need help with it.”
Miko paused for a moment, “How did he break it? He knocked some sense into the guy that was bullying Cody.”
Miko was silent, “No, Cody’s not very hurt, physically at least.”
The pair glanced at Cody, who was now being comforted by Prowl. Jack saw each person who been laughing and encouraging Vince and decided that he wouldn’t be associated with any of them, Sierra included.
Cody gave another sniff, before slowly drifting off to sleep. Jack and Miko had identical soft looks on their faces as Cody gave into his exhaustion.
J&M
Jack was kicking himself, He watched as Cody, trapped in a jar, in the hands of a Decepticon that looked like Roadkill. Cody was curled into a ball and shivering, Megatron demanding each of them for an Omega key, claiming Jack was worth two. The warlord opted to use Cody to get the relics to be handed over. The only bright side that Jack could find was that Roadkill had been killed before they were brought to Cybertron.
Then, Megatron turned the Omega Lock on Earth and Optimus acted. It was over in a blink of an eye, Optimus destroyed the Omega Lock and removed Megatron’s arm. Then they were back in the base, with Fowler asking the Autobots to step outside. Jack glanced at Miko, who was doing her best to coax a reaction out of Cody. Then the Autobots came rushing back inside, with Optimus telling each Autobot to take their charge and leave via the Ground bridge. Prowl went first, taking Cody, then Bumblebee and Raf. Jack sat on Arcee, as Bulkhead prepared to leave with Miko. Jack looked over and met Miko’s eyes, Jack felt his eyes start to burn and quickly looked away. Bulkhead sped out of the base, prompting Jack to put his helmet on, before Arcee sped through the ground bridge.
Jack looked around, he and Arcee were in the middle of a dirt road, if Jack had to take a guess, they were in Texas somewhere. Jack’s thoughts went to Raf and Cody, before settling on Miko. Jack only prayed they were safe.
J&M
Bulkhead drove through the Rocky Mountains, Miko sat slouched in the passenger seat looking through the pictures on her phone. She was glad that Bulkhead bought the new game excuse, she knew it was silly to hide that she missed everyone, but she didn’t want Bulkhead to know that most of the pictures were of Jack. Bulkhead was the older brother Miko never had, and she had heard what older brothers did to their sister crushes…at least that what happened on tv.
“Wheeljack should be here soon.” Said Bulkhead coming to a stop and jerking Miko out of her thoughts.
“Cool.” Said Miko, climbing out of Bulkhead, allowing him to Transform into his robot mode.
Miko gnawed at her bottom lip, keeping watch for Wheeljack. For the next few hours, the pair waited for Wheeljack to arrive. The sound of a car engine reached them, signalling Wheeljack’s arrival.
Miko felt herself smile, at least one of the others made it.
J&M
Jack stumbled when Miko hugged him, Bulkhead and Wheeljack spoke to Arcee, Prowl and the Rescue Bots.
“Where’s Cody?” Asked Miko, looking around.
“He been left with his Family,” Said Jack, looking up at the Autobots, “The Decepticons attacked Griffin Rock, the islanders were hiding in some cavern, the Bots called it the Sanctuary.
“Is he okay?” Asked Miko, getting a nod from Jack.
“Prowl made sure that Cody would be safe with his family,” Said Jack, taking a step back, “He plans on collecting all of them once this is done.”
“We’re tracking the last two Autobot signals now,” Said Jack, glancing up at Arcee, “It could be Optimus and Ratchet or Bumblebee and Smokescreen.”
“The Decepticons have already taken out two of our number.” Said Prowl, looking down at the humans.
“Or they could be shielded.” Countered Arcee, resting a hand on her hip.
“It is more logical to conclude that they are offline,” Said Prowl, folding his arms, “Then, if they are alive, it’s a pleasant surprise.”
“Did…did Prowl just give a good argument for being a pessimist?” Whispered Miko, getting a snort from Jack.
J&M
Jack, Miko and Raf listened as the Autobots attacked Darkmount, silently hoping for the best. Ratchet made a comment about an Autobot signal being airborne. Then, to their delight, Ultra Magnus spoke, “Optimus Prime is Alive and quite well.”
“Yes!”, “Awesome!”, “Yeah!” were the cries from the Humans. Jack, acting purely on impulse, grabbed Miko and kissed her. Miko froze for a moment, before returning the kiss.
They don’t know how long they were kissing, but Ratchet jerked them back to reality, “Are you two finished?!”
Jack and Miko jumped apart, their faces red. Jack awkwardly cleared his throat and looked to the floor. Raf had a look of disgust that explained itself when he spoke, “Jack, you just got her cooties.”
Jack and Miko both froze, before they broke down laughing. Raf just looked confused, and Ratchet looked irritated.
J&M
Miko sat and spoke with her host parents, as the trucks began to drive into the City that Optimus was having built.
“Whoa,” Gasped her host mother, “it’s massive.”
“Probably so the Autobots can fit inside the buildings.” Dismissed Miko, before spotting a group of Autobots scanning vehicles. A red one with two giant cannons on his arms scanned a GMC Topkick, while one the size of Bulkhead scanned a 4X4, “Ooh, there are Brawn and Ironhide.”
Her host parents looked over and saw the pair of Autobots transform into their alts and join the procession going into the City. The truck they were in came to a halt.
“Alright, kids,” Said Hound, getting their attention, “You have reached your destination, thank you for choosing Autobot Bus service as your method of travel.” Then, without warning, Hound Transformed and looked over the city, “Eh, could use a few drinking places.”
Miko laughed, before spotting a blond-haired boy the same age as Raf.
“Cody!” Yelled Miko, running towards him.
Cody turned and spotted Miko, just as the girl grabbed him and pulled him into a hug, “Miko!”
Miko suddenly pulled back, “We need to find Jack!”
“He’s at the hospital helping his mom.” Said Cody, making Miko stop.
“Of course, he is.” Sighed Miko, before looking around, “Have you seen Raf?”
“No,” Replied Cody, looking over towards the stealth bomber that arrived at Sector E a week before, “but Blaster might be able to find him.”
Miko nodded and grabbed Cody and his friend, Frankie, and pulled them towards Blaster. The Autobot started transforming when he noticed their approach.
“If you’re going to ask me to get Warpath to demonstrate his cannon again,” Said Blaster, frowning at them, “The answer is no.”
“Relax,” Said Miko, waving her hand, “we just need a little help finding Raf.”
Blaster blinked, before pointing towards the new Base for the Autobots, “He’s in there with Ratchet.”
Miko smiled and pulled Cody and Frankie towards the base, “You haven’t met the other Bots, have you, Frankie?”
“I’ve seen them.” Said Frankie, as they walked into the base.
A rose and white Femme glanced at them and raised an eyebrow, “Let me guess, looking for the final part of your group?”
“What’s Raf doing in there?” Asked Miko, as Elita guided them into the main area.
“Finishing the Ground bridge.” Said Elita, folding her arms as Raf opened the Ground bridge.
Miko spotted Jack hanging around Fowler’s office and quickly went to join him. Cody and Frankie went up to Prowl, with Cody telling him how the Firehouse had started construction, as well as the access tunnels that would lead out of it and around the city.
“Hey.” Mumbled Miko, folding her arm and glancing at Jack, “We obviously need to talk.”
“Yeah,” Whispered Jack, taking a deep breath, “Look, Miko, I’m sorry for what happened on the Harbinger, I guess I got caught up in the moment and acted on impulse.”
Miko frowned and grabbed the front of Jack’s shirt. Jack looked up at Miko, then the girl pulled him towards her. Miko kissed Jack and then pulled away, “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to do that.”
Jack gave Miko a small smile, before his eyes widened at something. Before Miko had a chance to turn around, Jack wrapped an arm around her and pulled her away from the object, allowing the lobbing ball slam into Agent Fowler’s office door. Fowler’s door slid up, allowing the agent to get a full view of the ball blocking his doorway. The man sighed, of course this would happen.
J&M
Miko looked over the park and sighed, it’s been a year since Megatron was defeated and the Autobots left to rebuild their home. It’d also been a few months since Ratchet had gone to Cybertron and returned with news of Optimus’s death. Ratchet was puttering about running experiments, while Jack was frowning at a report Raf just gave him.
“So, you want me to proofread your work,” Asked Jack, his tone sceptical, “on a subject that I know nothing about and tell you how to improve?”
Raf nodded, making Jack close his eyes and sigh, “Raf, couldn’t you get Graham to look at this or Doc?”
“They were too busy,” Answered Raf, “and my teacher say I can’t have an Autobot proofread it, since they may have more knowledge on it than we do.”
Jack looked at the fifteen-year-old and blinked, “Raf…why don’t you have one of your classmates proofread it?”
Raf froze, before looking to the floor, “They couldn’t read my handwriting.”
Jack sighed, before opening the paper, “You spelt ‘inconclusive’ wrong.”
Raf grinned, before rushing over to Miko with a copy of the work, “Miko, I need someone else to proofread my work, since it has to have feedback from at least two people.”
Miko sighed and uncurled from her sitting position on the sofa. The bump was barely noticeable, but it was visible if anyone looked. Miko took the paper and balked at the first page, “Where’s the contents page?”
“I didn’t think it needed one, it’s only thirty chapters long.” Said Raf, frowning.
“But each chapter is like a hundred pages long.” Argued Miko, looking over the paper, “There aren’t any diagrams to help illustrate your point.”
Raf frowned, as Jack got up and walked over to Raf, “Have you ever been tested for dyslexia?”
“No, why?” Responded Raf, as Jack presented Raf’s work to him.
“You misspelt ‘which’ as ‘witch’.” Said Jack, pronouncing the t in the latter.
“Oh…” Said Raf, as Miko scowled at the paper.
“Raf, when did you write this?” Questioned Miko, looking up at the boy.
“Around three a.m.” Said Raf, getting a groan from Jack and Miko.
“Raf, go home, get some sleep.” Ordered Jack, running a hand down his face.
Raf looked ready to protest but decided not to say anything when Jack levelled him with a flat look. Rad reached out for the papers, but Jack and Miko drew the papers closer to them and frowned at him.
“Proofreading, remember?” Miko reminded the young genius, making the boy drop his hand.
Raf left, rubbing his eyes as he walked away. Ratchet looked up at Jack and Miko, “Perhaps you two should head off as well.”
Jack checked his watch and winced when he saw the time, “He’s right, it’s almost midnight.”
Miko groaned and held her hand out for Jack, grasping it, he pulled her to her feet. Jack held Miko’s hand as they left. Miko caught sight of Wheeljack fiddling with some widgets that he meant for military use. The Wrecker spotted Miko and gave her a smile, before going back to his work. Jack and Miko reached Jack’s car, when they heard an explosion. Not three seconds later, they heard Ratchet bellow, “WHEELJACK!”
“I’m going to guess,” Said Jack, as he and Miko got into the car, “boomstick.”
“Well, it wasn’t going to a grapple glove.” Snarked Miko, leaning back in her seat. Miko frowned at something, before squinting at it, “Is that Cody?”
Jack followed her gaze and froze, “And Frankie, by the looks of it.”
The pair watched the teenagers, Jack went to turn the headlights on, before Cody and Frankie kissed each other.
“Wow, okay,” Said Miko, after a moment, “I didn’t see that coming.”
“Just think,” Commented Jack, “we were like that.”
“Yeah, then I ‘somehow’ wound up pregnant.” Sniped Miko, leaning back in her seat again, “I’m glad we don’t have to hide it anymore, though.”
Jack smiled, “Yeah, no more hiding.”
“But it’s going to be interesting to see how they approach it.” Smirked Miko, as Cody and Frankie walked off.
J&M
Miko watched the Autobots frantically search for Cody. The boy had been missing for a week, having vanished after the Decepticon attack on Autobot City that ended when Optimus returned from wherever he’d vanished to. Miko watched Optimus battle an ancient Decepticon who called himself Megatronus, who was better known as The Fallen.
There was a sudden the ground shook, with Jack immediately covering Miko and Miko curling up to protect her bump.
“Was that an earthquake?” Asked Raf, looking around once the shaking stopped.
“No, too brief,” Said Russel, looking around him, “it almost felt like an explosion of some kind.”
Optimus frowned, “Ratchet, search for any power spikes near Autobot City.”
Ratchet looked up from the screen, “I was about to tell you, I just detected an energon explosion roughly seven miles from our position.”
“An energon explosion?” Asked Blaster, his left wing missing, “But there aren’t any energon mines near the city.”
“There are not any Autobot mines,” Said Optimus, frowning, “However, we cannot rule out the possibility of Decepticon mines.”
Optimus turned to Ratchet, “Target the coordinates and open the Ground bridge, Bumblebee and Strongarm, you’re with me.”
Ratchet opened the ground bridge, allowing Optimus and the two other Autobots to roll out. The bridge remained open and ten minutes later, Strongarm returned alone, Cody riding in her passenger seat.
Cody looked at the ground as he got out of the Autobot. Strongarm transformed and looked visibly sick.
“Cody?” Asked Ratchet, incredulous, “Where did you find him?”
Strongarm looked at the Medic, “We found the source of the energon explosion, as well as the remains of Thundercracker.”
Ratchet frowned, before spotting the bag Cody had with him. It was too small to hold a change of clothes or any other basic human necessities, from how the fabric was stretched it looked like there were pipes in it. Ratchet froze, before crouching down and took the bag and looked inside.
“Wheeljack, we found your missing weapons.” Said Ratchet, as Optimus and Bumblebee returned.
Miko looked around for Cody, only to see he’d vanished again.
“Wait, what happened?” Asked Miko, looking around the Autobots.
“We found Cody at the sight of the explosion,” Started Optimus, his tone grave, “he was staring at the remains of Thundercracker. Cody…tortured and killed Thundercracker with the tech that he stole from Wheeljack.”
“He basically did what you did to Hardshell.” Said Bumblebee, looking around for Cody, “Where’s he gone?”
Everyone suddenly looked at when Cody had been standing, Miko shook her head as the Bots started looking for Cody again, she had a good idea where he might’ve gone.
J&M
Miko closed the door to her and Jack’s apartment, before leaning against it and sliding down to the floor.
“Miko?” Asked Jack, poking his head out of the kitchen and spotting his fiancé sitting on the floor, “Is everything alright?”
“They found Cody,” Said Miko, her voice hollow, “he managed to find a Decepticon mine, as well as the ‘Con that killed Prowl. He’s…he’s broken, Jack. He gave the Bot’s the slip again and I found him outside the City near that glade Prowl liked and he…”
Miko took a deep breath, “He was crying, asking why killing Thundercracker didn’t make him feel better…he felt guilty for killing him, despite what he did to Prowl.”
Jack joined Miko on the floor, wrapping his arm around her. He knew that Miko viewed Cody as a younger brother, especially after the incident with Vince. Miko knew what Cody was going through, after Bulkhead’s near death at the hands on Hardshell. But Miko had been lucky, Bulkhead had pulled through with no long-term injuries, Cody lost his guardian and his leg on the same day. Jack considered contacting Arcee about it, but she was busy on Cybertron.
“Cody’s a fighter,” Said Jack, carefully choosing his words, “He’ll pick himself up and move forwards.”
“You didn’t see him, Jack,” Murmured Miko, looking up at him, “he was devastated, like he wasn’t able to live with himself.”
Jack frowned, before pulling Miko closer to him, “I’ll speak with Cody tomorrow, let’s see about getting something to eat.”
Miko swallowed thickly and nodded. Jack helped her to her feet, and she followed him into the kitchen.
J&M
Jack dropped himself onto the sofa and ran his hand down his face. Dealing with Prescott took a lot out of him, but the reporter had been dealt with, now they just had to deal with Luskey, who tried to suspend the Rescue Team, despite him not having any political presence in the City. Jack heard a rustling sound behind him, he turned around and spotted Cody curled up on a plush chair he and Miko bought.
“Cody?” Asked Jack, making Cody jump.
“Oh, hi Jack.” Muttered Cody, going back to looking at the floor.
“What are you doing here?” Asked Jack, looking around.
“Miko said that if I needed to talk, I could go to her.” Said Cody, looking at his knees.
Jack sighed, “If it’s about what happened at that mine, you needn’t beat yourself up over it. Over our time with Team Prime we all killed, from anything from a spider to a Decepticon. Hell, there was one time I electrocuted a MECH agent so much he was practically cooked.”
Cody looked disgusted, “Well, at least I won’t be hungry for a while.”
“Cody,” Said Jack, crouching in front of him, “you didn’t know about the humans, no one did. You’re not a murderer, despite what that Luskey guy says.”
“It’s still weird,” Confessed Cody, “how people I’ve known for years like they’ve never met me before.”
“Are you talking about family, friends or Frankie?” Asked Jack, raising an eyebrow, “Don’t give me that look, Miko and I noticed how you and Frankie act around each other.”
“The only other one who knew was Prowl,” Cody choked out his Guardian’s name, “He made sure we were able to keep a low profile. He was out there because of me; I couldn’t find Frankie and I went out looking for her and Prowl died because I was too fucking stupid to think of calling her.”
Cody broke down as he finished, Jack’s heart sank, Miko had her work cut out for her.
“Did Miko ever tell you about Bulkhead’s run in with Tox-En?” asked Jack, making Cody look at him, “She went through what you’re going through, she blamed herself for what happened to Bulk and she even hunted down the ‘Con responsible.”
Cody wiped his eyes, looking back down at the floor, “Did you know that flesh melts of the bone in an energon fire?”
Jack froze, “No, I didn’t. Cody,” He started firmly, “that Decepticon you downed during the attack, do you regret that?” Cody shook his head. “Why?”
“He was going to kill people.” Said Cody, as Jack smiled at him.
“That’s what Thundercracker and those MECH agents were going to do,” Said Jack, gently touching Cody’s shoulder, “what you did, while rash, quite probably saved hundreds of lives.”
“Then why do I feel horrible?” Asked Cody, desperately.
“Because you’re a good person.” Stated Jack, with a tone of finality, “The good mourn and regret. The evil don’t.”
J&M
Jack watched Arcee speak with Cody, he contacted her and asked it she could check on Cody, just in case if he and Miko weren’t able to get through to him. Jack froze when Arcee handed Cody something, it looked like a pair of EMP cannons…Arcee wouldn’t give Cody weapons…would she?
“I heard that Wheeljack is trying to get Cody inducted into the Wreckers.” Said Miko, sidling up against Jack. Miko let out a low whistle as the cannons Arcee gave Cody transformed into a watch and a bracelet, “Nice.”
“I really hope Arcee didn’t sneak those into the city.” Said Jack, as Cody activated the watch cannon and accidentally discharged it. Miko let out a snort as the recoil sent Cody sprawling on his back, the sound of Cody’s laughter made them crack up as well.
J&M
Jack watched as Aurora threw flower petals at the guests, she got to the end of the aisle and immediately went for his knees. Jack watched his mother pick up her granddaughter, while Raf worked a video camera. Almost the entirety of the original Earth-bound Autobots and their partners were here, with the exception of the Rescue Team and the Burns family, who were forced to leave when they received an emergency call a few minutes before hand.
Jack looked around again, freezing as he saw the Burns’ and their bots skulk back in. Cody had the same look on his face that he always sported when dealing with Prescott. Cody dropped himself into the seat next to Frankie and whispered something in her ear.
Everyone went silent as Miko started making her way down the aisle.
