Three days after the…exciting commotion in the garage, Dani decided to add fuel to the fire and called EVERYONE down to the bunker.
Yes, she has found the book.
ONLY took her THREE DAYS.
“GUYS, GUYS, GUYS! JUST COME DOWN ALREADY! I’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW Y’ALL!!” She demanded, dragging Kade with her left arm while tugging Graham’s collar with her right. Charlie and Cody could merely sigh in relentment as the father-son duo watched the only girl in the their family SINGLE-HANDLEDLY take down two of the Burns’s sons.
“HEY, LET M-ME GO-HURKK!!”
“HURRY ALONG ALREADY!!’ She huffed and dropped the two adults inside the elevator.
“Sis, you forgot the main point.” Cody gave an awkward smile, holding up a brown book for the sister to see.
“Oh, dear me! Can’t have this left behind now, can we?” she ushered them in and pressed the button, closing the elevator doors.
“And why, EXACTLY, must WE tag along? I was busy chatting with Hayley, damn it!” Kade grumbled, resorting to take a seat on the ground.
“I was solving a complicated equation and I nearly had it!!” Graham chimed in, frowning at his sister.
“Another word from the both of you and I’ll not hesitate to use MORE force.” Dani smiled sweetly sick at the two paling brothers.
Gulping, Kade and Graham nodded frantically, fearing for their lives.
Without another word, they reached the bottom and Dani came out first, leaving them behind as she called the Bots over.
“Hey guys! Care to spare a minute?” she asked, waving at her partner, Blades.
“Aww man! is it our turn to do air patrol?” Blades timidly asked, yellow optics portraying his reluctancy. “I thought we covered it…two weeks ago?”
“No, silly!” Dani giggled, making the helicopter relax a little. “I found the book!” she announced and took the book over from Cody.
“What book?” Heatwave gruffly spoke, raising an optic ridge.
Charlie Burns kept his mouth shut when he saw the intense glare sent to his direction by the female pilot.
“What are we waiting for then? Let’s have a look!” Blades exclaimed, picking the tiny brown item up and opened a page. “Uh…okay, maybe not.” He grimaced in disgust.
“What do you mean NO?” Dani said in exasperation, snatching her belongings back.
“It’s filled with unknown phrases!”
“Blades, where have all my knowledge passed down to you gone to!?”
Blades made an ‘O’ shape with his dermas as he scratched his neck cables, chuckling dryly at the enraged femme.
“Do us a favour then; teach us.” Heatwave came to the rescue and saved the poor mech from a possible earful nagging. He saw the look of gratitude from Blades and felt a sense of pride within him.
“You’re welcome.” Heatwave whispered, earning a flustered smile from the copter-bot.
Eyeing the two bots suspiciously, Dani’s lips formed a knowing smile but she said nothing. Instead, she coughed out loud and drew the attention back to herself again.
“Alright, alright. Let’s start from the beginning.” She gushed. Flipping open the pages, the red-haired girl stopped onto a particular sentence and formed a smirk, confusing the bots and her family likewise.
“What?” Cody asked, seeing that his sister was staring at their father with a weird grin.
“This ain’t it, Chief.” She held back a snort.
“Wow. Really? Ha ha.” Her father replied sarcastically, not getting the joke at all. “Is that supposed to mean something?”
“OH, OH! I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!” Blades announced loudly, slapping his knees before breaking into a larger grin. “Oh Primus! I made ANOTHER pop culture reference within a pop culture reference!? NO WAY!”
“You did and I’m proud of ya!” Dani winked and gave her partner a high five, earning a collective of groans from behind.
“Seriously? That’s ALL you had to show us?” Kade said impatiently, tapping his feet. “Welp, I’m out.” he threw both of his hands up and left the room with a huff.
“Sorry to break the band, but me and Boulders REALLY need to get some work done. See ya around, sis.” Graham politely excused himself from the group with Boulders tagging along.
“If there’s nothing else, I think I’ll go see Frankie. Bye Dani!” Cody ran off too.
“Dad…” Dani trailed off, giving her father a disheartened look.
“Perhaps we can have a continuation of this later at night, alright?” he patted his daughter’s shoulders and went up, leaving the sadden pilot alone.
“Tsk. Some wonderful family alright.” Dani tilted her head upwards, somehow not upset of her family leaving in such a hurry as she smiled at her partner.
“Uh…shouldn’t you be disappointed or something?” Blades leaned in, worried for his charge.
“Nope! Why should I?” she gave the mech a thumbs up. “Oh, by the way, you won’t mind if I borrow Heatwave for a moment, do you?”
“GREAT!!” Dani clasped her hands together before looking at the fire-truck. “Come on then!!” Sighing, he transformed and opened his door.
“Just get out from here, hurry!” Dani said giddily, buckling her seatbelts on.
Groaning, the Rescue Bot leader obliged and drove off, leaving Blades dumbfounded alongside with a blank-faced Chase.
“Huh? That’s weird.” Blades noted, setting a servo on his helm. Chase said nothing and went to a corner, trying to process his thoughts alone.
Ever since the English lesson with Cody went downhill, Charlie has been avoiding him and it irritated the mech to no one. Heck, the aging Burns even drove the OLD police car rather than going on a patrol with him.
To put it simply, Chase is JEALOUS.
Growling, he figured it would be best to talk to the man now.
Activating his holoform, the police-bot strode upstairs with a target in mind; Charlie. Steeling his gaze, the mech-turned-human spotted his partner at the kitchen counter, sipping on his coffee in peace.
Waiting for the right moment, Chase dashed forward and trapped the startled man in between his arms.
“Chase!?” Chief Burns gasped, staring up to meet the mech’s eyes.
Taking away his cup of coffee, Chase narrowed his eyes and leaned in closer, minimising the space in between them.
“What a-are you doing!?” Charlie stuttered, holding his cup with both hands shakily.
“I want an answer, NOW.” Chase’s voice went down an octave at the last part as he glowered at the shuddering male. “Why did you avoid me? Why did you ditch me and used that DAMN old car which CAN’T EVEN FUNCTION PROPERLY!?” He snarled.
Blinking twice, Charlie slowly set his drink down and cupped the mech’s face. “What are you- wait…” the single father furrowed his eyes as he recollected the previous memories before raising an eyebrow at his partner.
“Don’t tell m-me…Y-You’re jealous…?” his words hit the police-bot hard and Chase snapped.
Slamming his servos onto the cupboard above them, Chase used the advantage of Charlie being stunned to grab him and brought the man into his (Charlie’s) room.
“N-NO WAIT-OOF!!!” Charlie felt the wind knocked out from his lungs as he laid on the soft bed, unable to move due to a CERTAIN mech having a death grip on both of his hands.
“How many times do I have to remind you that YOU. ARE. MINE.” Chase growled, straddling on top of Charlie. He went down and nipped the officer’s neck, eliciting soft whimpers from the man.
“Don’t you DARE take that car out without MY permission.” Chase ordered, shifting one hand to hold Charlie down while using his free servo to gently tip his head up. “I don’t like being REPLACED, sir.”
“Ah ah ah! I am NOT quite done yet.” Chase smiled, displaying his sharp fangs for his partner to see. “We’ll call it over when I SAY SO. Understood?” he continued, enjoying the flustered look on Charlie’s face as the old Burns squirmed and struggled in his hold.
“EVERYTHING and ANYTHING you say will be held AGAINST you. With our SHARED experience, you know how I DISLIKE uncooperativeness.”
Without any further warning, Chase closed the gap.
Meanwhile, with Dani and Heatwave…
“Where are we going?!” Heatwave snapped. “I think we’ve left base pretty far enough, so spill it!” the mech said and switched off his engines, forcing Dani to tell the truth. The two were in the middle of Griffin Rock Forest with no one around them per Dani’s request.
“Okay then,” Dani leaned back and crossed her arms in front of her chest, creating an air of authority around her.
“Yes- I MEAN -N-NO!!” Heatwave tried to backtrack, but it was too late; the damage has been done. Seeing the knowing grin on Dani’s face, the annoyed and embarrassed mech tried not to cave in.
“Maybe. A little. More average than normal. GAH- FINE!! I DO, OKAY!?” He relented.
“Good. Because if you didn’t then this would be useless for you.” Dani shrugged nonchalantly, not at all bothered of the mech’s tantrum.
“Huh?” That got Heatwave’s interest piqued. “What are you talking about?”
“Oh, nothing much. Just some…ways to get the guy you like who JUST so happens to be MY partner, AKA we share some PRETTY nice details you’d like to know.” Dani slyly remarked.
“And WHY are you helping ME?”
“Because Dad’s too dumb and Chase is too innocent, so I need ONE man to do this job properly or I’m going to go berserk with all the tension in our base!”
(Chase may seem slow in understanding human culture but he SURE AIN’T ALL PURE AND VANILLA when it comes to Chief.)
Sighing, the mech let the femme out and transformed into his biped mode, turning his attention solely to Dani.
“What do you have in mind?”
The two finally arrived back at base after a hefty conversation. With an encouraging smile, Dani winked at Heatwave and went upstairs, leaving Heatwave to deal with his…crew member.
“Heatwave! What took you and Dani so long?” Blades whined; his wings drooped low to the floor. The red mech fought all of his urges to reply and kept silent, choosing to settle in a corner to ‘brood’.
The memory of Dani’s teaching replayed in his mind freshly as he tried to focus. Composing himself, the mech took a deep intake as he felt a certain air-borne mech coming closer to his side.
“Heatwave!” Blades repeated, calling after his name again. “Are you ignoring me?” he asked.
The mech in question was still silent.
“I-Is it because I-I didn’t cooperate too well on our last mission? I swear, I wanted you to hold the grappling hook, not Chase! O-Or is it because I d-didn’t report to you y-yesterday? M-Me and Dani went out and returned late night! Wait, I believe you’re mad because-” Blades’s ramblings didn’t cease; just as foretold by Dani.
“When he starts yapping off, you inch closer.” Dani explained, making tiny hand gestures.
“That’s when you slowly set a servo on his shoulders AND,” Dani squealed out loud. “-Give him your award-winning smile AND tell him you did a good job!”
“…” Heatwave gave the swooning lady a blank stare.
“T-That’s it?” he muttered, not at all getting the point of this. “How’s THAT going to get Blades to…fall for me?”
“Oh, don’t worry! Just do as I say, and the rest SHOULD come naturally for you!” she gave him a thumbs up.
“UH-HELLO!? EARTH TO HEATWAVE!?”
Snapping back to reality, Heatwave shook his helm and noticed Blades was tip-toeing, leaning in close as the yellow mech tried to get his attention.
“You spaced off for a moment there. Are you still m-mad at me?” Blades twiddled his digits together and looked at the fire truck with the saddest pout he could conjure.
“The rest should come naturally for you.”
Dani’s words rang in Heatwave’s processors as he grabbed Blades by the waist and pulled him in, locking dermas with the shocked mech.
Smirking, Heatwave casted a mischievous grin onto Blades.
“I am, indeed, mad.” He began, taking a step closer and dipped his helm lower, slightly bowing down at the helicopter.
“I’m mad ABOUT you.” he whispered, sending shivers down his target’s backstruts. “Infatuated and adoration doesn’t even measure up to what I’m experiencing when I’m with you. For that, I am furious; furious at how you got me intwined in your hands.” His optics dimmed.
“Perhaps I should remind you of one IMPORTANT thing, Blades; I’M in charge HERE.”
The leader of the Rescue Bot made a mental note to thank Dani for the tip as he went ahead, his body going on by its own as if it knew what to do from the start.
“And you’re my RESPONSIBILITY.”
