Something was definitely not right and Optimus knew that. The reason was mainly that he never heard Raf speaking in his native language, Spanish, let alone swearing in it. And he could only make the same confused look as Ratchet as the young boy opened the Groundbridge. He did not try to stop him as he trusted Rafael's decision of doing this.
And now there he was standing before Elita, Soundwave and Thundercracker as Ratchet patched them up but asked for further assistance and better equipment. He answered by saying that do what he could and in a matter of some time Ratchet took them to Cybertron for repairs, leaving him with Rafael and the humans.
"I know you're very confused," said Raf when everything seemed to be calming down. "But it will get even more confusing."
"Sorry to butt in, but I think it's kinda easy and obvious" walked a red-haired boy next to Rafael. He seemed to be the same age as him, though he was shorter by a few inches. "Daniel Osborne at your service!"
"How did you end up in this situation?" looked Raf at him questionful.
"I hid in the trunk and no one noticed me. Easy squeezy lemon's peasy. But I guess you need the FULL story. Luckily I was there in the important parts."
"What kind of story are we talking about?" looked Optimus at the boy then Raf.
"You were looking for Megatron. They have him" he answered, nodding his head towards the boy.
"But... how?" That was the moment when Optimus felt a lot of question marks floating next to his head. How could humans have him? Is he so weakened that they can have him as a prisoner or something?
"In short: He's a human."
"Beg your pardon?" This was so ridiculous that his processors just ignored the answer altogether. What kind of stupidity was this? For one he never heard of anything that can change you into a different being. Two if even it is possible there's no way MEGATRON would last in a human body for more than a day. He would rather kill himself than stay that way.
"To be more precise he's in my sister's friend's body. And he's like... super cool."
"So he didn't try to kill you or something like this?"
"Kill me? No, he saved my life. All of our life. The first time I met him I..."
"OH WE ARRIVED AT THE JUICY STUFF JACK!" shouted the suddenly appearing Miko excitedly next to Jack.
"Oh, you got my message," smiled Raf, pushing up his glasses.
"Are you kidding me?! I would never leave out seeing a con! My other option was waiting for the plane because my flight was cancelled."
"I was rather worried about the situation and... Who are you?" asked Jack as he saw the smiling redhead not far away. It was long ago when a new human joined the team and this is the first time when the newcomer is in their age group.
"Daniel Osborne. And you three?"
"I'm Jack Darby, next to you is Rafael Esquivel and this rock girl" there he pointed next to him. "Is Miko Nakadai."
"I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU! Like who is your guardian? How many cons did you meet? Is Buckethead nice to you?"
"Slow down Miko! You scare him" Jack nudged his friend's side.
"No prob, I'm excited to talk as well" Daniel shrugged his shoulders. "So as I said, I met him when I went biking and stargazing with the boys. He was with my sis and dragging her..."
"TOWARDS HER INEVITABLE DEATH?!" shouted Miko.
"No?" looked Daniel at her with one eyebrow raised. "He was dragging her to the perfect spot to watch it. Of course, at that time I believed he was Merlin, my sis's best friend. But after seeing the most romantic look they shared I knew something was fishy."
