The Daughter of Primus

S. 1 EP. 22 Orion Pax

(Sooo I lied.... After some shuffling for continuity smoothness THIS is the last chapter of Season 1 of DoP. I've got chunks of season 2 chapters plunking along because my neurodivergent brain is pinballing all over the place. so progress is being made but I'm still on hiatus until I have a decent backlog of chapters. If you want exclusive early access to chapters of Season 2 come join the discord Daughters of Power!

This chapter tackles uncomfortable subjects such as abusive family dynamics, kidnapping and depression.)

Julie needed time to blow off steam. Her hands had returned to normal thanks to some help from Echo before she and Spitfire departed the Autobot base to go repair their own. She sat at her computer desk at her mother's house trying to do YouTube things. While she was poking around with an edit she sighed and looked at her hands.

"What am I? Did dad know? If he did, why didn't he tell me?" She flexed her fleshy fingers. She was still in pain from being infected with Dark Energon even though she was fully healed. Raf had bounced back much easier than she had. The turmoil in her mind made it hard to breathe at times.

Julianna gently smacked her cheeks with her palms. "Okay. Focus on editing. Focus on the thing that doesn't involve planetary crisis, alien robots, almost dying or your hands turning into metal."

She continued to work for several hours, shooting off a text to Ratchet asking for a ride before her monster of a mother called for her.

Julie squinted at the door. That voice was far too sweet. Something was up.

Julie reached into her desk drawer and pulled out a can of pepper spray and her room keys.

"What is it mom?" Julie called out

"There's someone special here to see you! It's your great uncle Leland!" Karen called

"Who?" Julie shouted back

"Your grandmother's younger brother!" Karen called back. "You met him once when you were three!"

Julie groaned "be there in a minute!" She saved her work and shut down her computer before hiding all her valuable equipment so it couldn't be taken and sold in case Karen got inside the room.

She changed out of her YouTube persona attire and locked the door behind her as she left. She had several set escape routes.

As she walked into the living room with the pepper spray in her pocket, Julie noticed how frazzled her mother looked. She raised an eyebrow before looking over to the man across from her mother and Julie's blood went cold.

"Silas." Julie backed up.

Silas smirked and stood up, adjusting his fancy suit. "Hello Julie. Your mother and I came to an agreement. I am your new legal guardian. We finished all the paperwork this morning."

"Fuck that." Julie hissed "I'm not going anywhere with you."

"I'm afraid you don't have that choice." Silas replied.

Julie bolted for one of her escape routes and made it outside. She called Agent Fowler but it went to voicemail.

"Damn it, Fowler!" Julie exclaimed.

She sprinted across Jasper dodging people all the while trying to call Fowler, the Autobots or anyone who would help.

The only one who picked up was Jamie. And he was in New York.

::Jewles?:: Jamie asked in alarm.

"Jamie! Mech! Silas is our great uncle Leland! Mom sold me out! He's my new legal guardian! They're going to take me away and no one at the base is picking up!" Julie gasped out "I'm running but I can't outrun them forever!"
