Bulkhead and wheel jack kidnap Miko

Bulkhead would have a moral dilemma over this, Wheeljack is already making long term plans to keep her on his ship, and Miko would be not so subtly trying to get herself kidnapped.

This is how I imagine it comes about:

Jack and Raf just so happen to be in Japan so they decided to call up Miko's household to see if they could come over as a surprise. Miko's mom picks up and she's delighted to invent them over. While she technically didn't say anything weird they still got a bad vibe from her. Miko's recent texts they've both had gotten felt a little scripted and out of character which made them more wary.

Both of the boys were equipped with some little cameras disguised as pins to let the autobots see Miko. There definitely was an argument of privacy from both Optimus and Magnus but they eased up when Wheeljack pointed out the kids would be meeting with adults they didn't know. Yes they were Miko parents but....... you never know. :)

--------------------------------------------------

They arrive with some presents in very clean clothes and pressed button ups. Both of them had heard from Miko that her parents were a little strict and were very into presentation. And well the present didn't hurt their chances. They knocked a few times, after waiting a few seconds Miko's mom would answer the door. If someone were to personify the word clean and put together that's how you would describe Miko's mom. While a little on the small side she had this aura that would make anyone feel small. She politely invited them into her "humble abode." Which was definitely not all humble as the woman's house bordered on being called mansion. They walked through a long corridor decorated with various trophies and art. The autobots and humans admiring them alike. Raf looked up closer to a particularly beautiful painting that caught his eye; it depicted a nature scene of a grand waterfall in the middle of a forest, at the bottom was a gold plague that read "Miko Nakadai's River of peace."

Raf was both caught off guard and impressed. Back at base Miko always just drew the Autobots and various other vehicles in crayons or colored pencils. The drawings weren't bad per say but compared to this the skill level was striking. He was pulled away from the painting by Jack urging him to not get distracted again. After a few more minutes of walking they came into a dinner esc room where a familiar face was standing in front of a large tab. But something was wrong with Miko, her hair was perfectly straightened, down and missing it's iconic pink dye, she was in very formal clothing that you could mistake for a private school outfit, worst of all were her yellow eyes.

They looked so dead with no spark of the girls usually burning hurricane of passion. Jack wasn't with the autobots but he knew they were expressing the same horror in their faces he felt. Struggling to keep the alarm off their faces Miko walked up to them and greeted them politely with a bow. They hastily returned it not waiting to seem rude.

They sat down at the table and they were quickly served food by servants. Jack tried to strike up a conversation with Miko about what she's been doing trying to elevate the growing pit in his stomach. Miko responded with the school work she was working on, painting, and practicing piano. It felt like too Jack Miko had rehearsed this response a thousand times already. Which dude nothing but grow more of his dread.

What proceeded was less of a friendly chat and more of a detective integrating them. Miko's mom prodded about their academics, if they knew any instruments, what they did in their free time, and what future jobs they were pursuing. She seemed pleased with Raf's answers but not so much with Jack's. Once dinner was concluded Miko's mom sent Raf and Miko up to the second floor to give him a tour while Jack had to stay there for a talk. As soon as they were out of sight Miko's mom turned to him with a strained smile and said, "It was lovely to have you come over and the present was thoughtful but I'm afraid I won't be you allowing you to see my daughter anymore."

Jack tried to ask what he did wrong but was cut off when two large men started to escort him out of the house. The autobots were helpless but to watch as Jack was practically thrown out of Miko's mom house. Jack quickly went into a nearby forest and was ground bridged back to base. They made Raf's camera full screen and watched it with anxiety.

--------------------------------------------------

Miko listed off the rooms still in a drone like fashion while Raf tried to figure out what was wrong with her. As soon as the pair entered a random bathroom Miko quickly locked the door behind them and her mask dropped.

"Raf you got to get me out of here! I can't stand being here anymore! If I have to spend another day in this torture house I swear to Primus I'm going to wake up Unicron himself and destroy the Earth." Miko whispered yelled.

"What-?! What's going on? Why are we whispering???!" Raf slightly panicked replied. With Miko's penchant for unimaginable chaos she probably could wake Unicron and Raf really doesn't want the Earth to blow up.

"Long story short my parents broke up, had a nasty divorce, my Mom was the one to keep me, then became mega strict and now I'm slowly suffocating to death."

"Okay- why are we locked in the bathroom then??"

"That woman got ears and eyes on the back of her head and like a bazillion hidden cameras with microphones in the house." Miko said.

Looking at her Raf could see she was terrified, Miko was never scared, she was nervous and frightened but never scared. But right now in front of him he could plainly see the fear in her whole body.

"If she's really that bad why haven't you gone to the police or cps? I'm sure they cou-

"DON'T YOU THINK I'VE TRIED?!"

"I KEEP TRYING BUT NO ONE BELIEVES ME OR IT'S NOT 'ILLEGAL' AND I JUST CAN'T- I just can't keep doing this a-nymore......."

Miko started to breakdown and fully sob at that point.

Wheeljack having seen enough started to head to his ship to kidnap rescue Miko. Bulkhead knowing what he planned to do tried well, to "stop him." Wheeljack just looked at him and he didn't say anything but his optics said everything.

"Do you really want to stop me?" They seemed to convey.

Bulkhead looked at the screen with his crying charge and put down his outstretched servo. Optimus and Ultra Magnus picking up on Wheeljack's plan also tried to stop him. There was tons of yelling and possible physical violence. It was put to an end when Miko called out to the Autobots. Raf had told her about the camera and now she was gripping the boy's shirt looking straight into the lens.

"Bulk? Guys? If you can hear me GET ME OUT!!! I don't care how you do it; I'll even be one of your guys human pets in a terrarium the decepticons were always talking about if it gets me out of this hell hole." Miko desperately pleaded.

Pure silence in the base.

--------------------------------------------------

Cut to Miko happily snuggled up to Bulkhead's face in the jackhammer with Ultra Magnus in the back filling out adoption papers while Wheeljack talks about his latest adventures. Even Ultra Magnus (who definitely is a girl dad) couldn't ignore Miko's pleas. So they flew to Miko's prison at night and had her get her things together and left a note that may or may not imply she ran away. Teenagers do that all the time and it's definitely not at all kidnapping if they just do happen to have been in the same area when Miko left. It's also not kidnapping if they take her on a little ship ride.
