Finding Sunny - Sunstreaker finds Nichole
"Sunstreaker! What are you doing?" Sideswipe yelled as Sunstreaker slid into the hanger. He didn't stop to answer his brother, he just kept going. He reached the middle of the hanger and slowed to a walk. He walked to the other end of the bay. The tentacle from his spark started to point up.
"Did you find her?" Sideswipe asked coming up next to his brother.
"She's somehow up there." He whispered point up. He looked back at his brother in amazement. Everyone in the hanger looked up, but the way the rafters were set, you couldn't tell if someone was up there or not.
"Someone's going to have to go up there." Lennox stated the obvious. Sunstreaker transformed and online his holoform. He quickly made his way up the ladders and ledges, trying to get up to the rafters without falling down. He got up and had to figure out a way to get on the rafters. There was no place skinny enough for him to fit though.
"Nichole!" He yelled, his husky voice echoing though the rafters. There was a surprise yell down a little way, echoing back to him. She had fallen asleep, so she didn't get a chance to move.
"How the fuck did you find me?" She growled back.
"Does it matter? I found you, now get over here so we can get down!" Sunstreaker yelled back.
"Why should I?" She spat. Neither could see each other, just hear.
"You've been missing for over five hours. You're not even supposed to be up here. Just get over here."
"Nope, I'm good."
"Femme your testing my patients."
"That's cool" He gave a low growl to her sarcastic answer.
He pulled against the opening, to try and get to her. It would have been a lot easier if he was in his real form. He was able to shove it away just a little more, enough for him to shimmy though. She saw him crawl though and made her way to the other end. Unfortunately for her, she could only get so far until it was blocked.
The soldiers and Autobots down below were yelling up to them, to be careful. She was leaning against the wall. Glancing at Sunstreaker and looking around her, trying to find another way. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the slim opening to the right, there was a thick electrical wire, thick enough for her to hang on. She quickly looked at Sunstreaker then back out. He was moving fast, she had to make a move fast. He noticed her looking away.
"Don't you dare!" He said quickening his pace. She gave a smirk, then jumped. Grabbing ahold of the wire. Everyone down gasp in shock. Optimus and Sideswipe quickly got underneath her to catch her in case she fell. Lennox and Epps were furious. They couldn't believe how stupid she was being. Though, they stayed below and watched as she began swinging her legs and wrapping them around the wire. Then she shimmied her way across to the other side. Sunstreaker was looking out at her in amazement and anger.
She kept crawling until she came to a point were the wires were hooked, attached to the ceilings beam. She was going to have to find a way to maneuver around it, to get to the other side, which wouldn't be easy. Everyone watched, eager to see the outcome. Yelling had ceased, and it became hushed below her. She concentrated on her movements. One wrong move and she would fall. Sunstreaker turned his holoform off and went back to bipedal mode. He walked underneath her, still hanging from the wires.
"Let go!" He yelled to her. She looked at him in confusion. He had his arms out, prepared to catch her.
"I'll catch you." He promised.
"What makes you think I was planning to get down?" she swung herself up and latched to the beam and was able to haul herself up. She sat up, her legs straddling the beam. She looked down to everyone with a smirk written across her face.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe both gave a low growl. All of them tired of her antics. It was time for her to come down, whether she liked it or not.
"Get down here!" Lennox yelled up to her.
"Why do I need to get down. Am I hurting anyone?" She said sarcastically. There were mummering throughout the crowd, agreeing with her statement.
"No, but you could hurt yourself." He shouted back.
"Oh, I wouldn't just get hurt, I'd probably be die." She chuckled to herself. It doesn't sound like a bad idea to her.
"Nichole, please come down." Sunstreaker and Sideswipe said at the same time.
"Well since you said please." She looked around her, looking for a way down. The cat walk was in the middle of the room. She would have to crawl back, but even then, it was a long way down. There was no way she would let herself be caught by an Autobot. She felt they would only let her splatter on the floor below. The only way for her to get down safely, well to her standards, would be to crawl back to the other side. So that's exactly what she did.
"Do you have any idea how dangerous that was!?!?!" Lennox Fumed.
"You're a Sargent, an adult. You shouldn't have to be treated like a child. Did the Marines never teach you how to grow up?" He continued to yell at her. She stood there taking it. She knew she was going to get hell for what she did. There are many reasons behind what she did. Was she going to tell them? No, it was none of their business. Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Optimus stood behind the angry major, equal angry faces on them as well. She kept her eyes on Lennox, letting him continue. When he realized he wasn't going to get a reaction out of the women, he put his hands on his head and attempted to pull at his hair.
"I suggest you go to your room. I don't want to tell you what to do, but you need to stay out of trouble and stay safe." He rubbed the bridge of his nose in between his fingers.
"Yes, Sir." And she left to her room, not looking back.
