invisibilia

    LOUD GROANING.

    Mirage slumps over on his table and groans more. He must sleep and recharge, but shutting his optics off for the night is annoying. But he was also in no mood to spend his free time leaving the room just yet.

    “…h-holoform. Y-you want to see my holoform.”

    Mirage hesitated for a few moments, before sighing and relenting. He transformed into his alternate car mode, waited for a few moments… before a hard-light projection appeared a few yards away from the vehicle.

    The projection looked staticky for a few moments, before it solidified to a… very real and human looking male. Despite the figure being small and, well, human, it somehow managed to look like Mirage.

Okay, the gun’s down. A good start. Plus, this guy was an Autobot! Sure, Bumblebee had never met him before, and the insignia wasn’t the usual red. But Autobots were Autobots. 

And this Autobot looks particularly nervous. Now that Bumblebee was sure this was friend and not foe, his smile turns more sympathetic. Poor guy must be real scared of Decepticons. And who could blame him?

“Well, now you know someone named Bumblebee,” he replies, his tone even and light. “Would you believe you’re the second Miage I’ve met? He’s all blue and white though. Well – when you can see him! You two probably have a lot in common!” In name and abilities, and that was it as far as Bumblebee could tell. This bot didn’t have the same overflowing confidence Bumbebee’s fellow special operations agent always gave off. 

Still, meeting two bots with the same name was pretty rare. He’d think about that later, though. 

“You’re at the site of a former Decepticon Space Bridge. But we cleared ‘em all out. To tell you the truth, I’m glad I found you an’ not one of those Decepti-creeps.

“But you seem a lost. Were you not lookin’ for a broken down Space Bridge?”

    “O-oh, r-really--? P-perhaps we do...”

    Another Mirage.

    The cellophane robber’s optic lids twitched slightly, but he tried his best to not let the reaction be so obvious. Annoying. So annoying --- he had the feeling that this world’s Mirage was known. Who knows, maybe even popular... the idea made him sick with jealousy, but again; he tried his best to hide his feelings.

    Mirage tilted his helm at the mech before him. He didn’t know a Bumblebee, but why did this guy still strike him as slightly familiar...? He would probably figure it out in time.

    “Ah...” The mech giggled at the familiar insult; Decepticreeps. He covered his mouth with a servo to hide his laughter, but his smile didn’t relent. It seemed like the mech was starting to relax in Bumblebee’s presence. “W-well, I’m glad you a-aren’t one of those D-Decepticreeps, either. I-I got really worried when I saw that insignia, but at least I found an ally instead...”

Mirage: “I met Lord Prime weeks after my operation was finished... even then Lord Prime, he noticed me... when I was invisible... it made me really happy...”

“Ratchet, though. E-even though he technically did save me by picking me up from jail, I don’t like thinking th-that he saved me. Lord Prime w-was the one who truly noticed me first, and if it weren’t for him, I would’ve been stuck in the Rad Zone’s prison for Terminus knows how long...”

Mirage: “...”
