Karina Torres: TFP

Nemesis Prime

Karina's POV

We're all at base the other three and I are racing toy cars. While our autobot guardians cheer us on. I had my dose of energon for the week. "Yes, go go go!" Miko cheers as Bee beeps encouragement to Raf and I.

"Metal to the pedal, Miko" Bulkhead says.

"Go, Jack, go!" Arcee cheers.

"Come on Raf, lets win this thing" I tell my cousin.

"No way, Raf and Karina are scorching us!" Miko whines. I chuckle. Suddenly there's a beep and Fowler's voice fills the air calling for Optimus. Putting a stop to our race.

"Do you read me?" Fowler asks.

"I'm sorry, Agent Fowler. Optimus isn't here at the moment" Ratchet tells him.

"Then I'll take that as a confirmation that he's presently trying to run me off the road" Fowler states. I let out a chuckle.

"Optimus would never hurt a human, ever. Let alone an ally" I state.

"Agent Fowler, that hardly seems likely" Ratchet tells him.

"Tell that to my burning treads" Fowler tells us.

(Mini time skip)

The others went to save Fowler. He came back alive, but Arcee was unconscious. I sit on Bumblebee's shoulder as we all waited for Arcee to wake. She starts to steer as Ratchet uses a flash light to cheek her optics. Or eyes as human's call them. Speaking of eyes, mine have felt strange recently. I'll ask Ratchet to scan them later. Right now we have more important things to worry about.

"Yes, that's it. Follow the light" Ratchet tells her.

"Wait, what?!" she exclaims waking up. I chuckle. "Not the best choice of words Ratchet" she states as she gets up.

"Arcee, are you alright?" Jack asks concerned.

"Sure. Except for being blindsided by Optimus" she states.

"Didn't I tell you?" Fowler asks.

"Yeah, still not buying it" I state.

"Impossible" Ratchet agrees.

"I'm only reporting what I saw" Arcee tells us.

"Why would Optimus try to knock off Agent Fowler?" Jack asks. Who wouldn't? The guy is loud and a pain in the ass. But I admit, he does prove useful when keeping the Autobots and Decepticons a secret.

"Maybe Optimus believes he's a Decepticon all over again" Raf suggests.

"Seriously? Not you to Raf, this is Optimus we're talking about" I tell them.

"Or he's been faking being a good guy all this time" Miko states. I sigh shaking my head at them.

"If Prime has gone off the rails for any reason, we have a serious problem" Fowler states.

"This is absurd" Ratchet states. Finally, someone talking sense. I jump onto his shoulder as he passes Bee. "A quick check for Optimus' signal will reveal that he's nowhere near the location of tonight's incident" he explains. He checks for Optimus' signal. "In fact, he's just returning now" he declares.

We all turn and watch Optimus return. Arcee, Bee and Bulkhead get into defensive positions. I roll my eyes at them. "Is something wrong?" he asks them.

"We were just..." Bulkhead starts and looks at Arcee.

"Wondering where you've been" Arcee finishes.

"We haven't been able to reach you" Bulkhead states.
