"WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" My older sister screamed at me as she was being hauled away by military personnel "Y/N! Y/N!!!" I stood there and stared at her with merciless eyes but a lone tear crept out and ran down my cheek as a soldier roughly grabbed me and took me to the back of a military truck and let me climb up as 2 soldiers sat on each side of me

The one on my left looked at me and placed his hand on my head "You'll be ok, kid." I glanced at his tag and in bold letters it said, 'LENNOX' "My name's Will, what's yours?"

"Y/n." I said

"That's a cool name, y/n." He smiled

"Y/N!" Lennox barked as I jolted awake and looked around to see the men looking at me, we sat on the plane as it shook from turbulence and Lennox looked at the others, my face darkened a little as I glanced away. Right.. I'm on a mission. Or... I was. It was really boring, we're transferring soldiers, these were the new batch of nest soldiers. I guess we're arriving back at base.

"You're in charge of getting the bots back in line when we get back, Captain Rox will assist you, got it?"

I looked back at him and nodded "yes, sir."

He nodded and looked away as we waited to land and unfastened our seat belts when the door opened.

"Colonal, welcome back, sir!" Captain Rox greeted Lennox as he nodded

"Just made sure theyre under their best behavior"

"I'm sorry to say that the twins will not be meeting with them today. We have them in confinement."

"Confinement?" I asked as I walked over "what did they do?"

"You know the twins, they were bashing it up in the hangar.. Epps got hurt trying to stop them" Rox said looking at Lennox

"God dammit.." Lennox growled

"But Sideswipe is in confinement with them. He tried to stop them but it only made it worse, we got 3 injured, we were lucky no one was killed.." Rox frowned

"sir, permission to shape up the twins?" I looked at Lennox

Lennox didn't hesitate "Permission granted. Garcia! You're on duty with Rox to keep the order of bots until l/n returns." He said pointing out the first soldier he seen as he trotted over

I quickly trotted off to find the twins in containment in another hangar "Skids, Mudflap!" I growled

They both turned to me as well as the soldiers in the room and Sideswipe as I stalked up to them both as they slightly cowered

"Aw, shit it's y/n.." skids muttered to his twin

"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" I growled as I walked over "you hurt Epps, I hope you both feel like shit right now! Because I would! Whatever quarrel you two were spatting about better be over because we got new guys and so help me God you hurt another human you'll both be locked up in here for the next year to rust do I make myself perfectly clear?!"

They looked at each other and nodded

"Say it!" I snapped

"We'll behave." They said in unison.

I looked at them and frowned "no.. that's too easy.. both of your sorry asses are gonna be on detail duty for the next month."

Mudflap chuckled "you don't have the authority to do that, y/n.."

"No? I can promise you I do." I glared "now get out there and meet our new guys, get into the hangar, don't even move unless Rox tells you to. Now scramble."

They both left as I looked at Sideswipe and sighed, composing myself "Sideswipe.."

He looked at me "should I be afraid?"

I gently scoffed and chuckled "Just get out there.."

He smiled and rolled out as I looked at the soldiers who looked at me but grunted and left. They think I'm an asshole.. I can make someone's life a living hell if I so pleased. The autobots are no exception.

I first met Ironhide as I excused Garcia and took my place

"You're putting them on detail duty? Are you sure that's a good idea?" He muttered to me as Rox led in a couple of the new guys, I watched as 1 dropped. He fainted. I chuckled and looked at Ironhide "they hurt Epps. And 2 others, I think it's an ideal punishment vs of what I could do.. how did you know anyway? Sideswipe squeal?"

"No, we could hear your chewing from outside." Ironhide grunted

I watched as the medics nearby carried him off as the others simply seemed startled.

Rox brought in a few more, and then some more until they were all there, a total of 11 new guys, and only 4 fainted, wow, new record..

The autobots introduced themselves to the remaining and they took it well. I looked at the twins as they looked at me after the introductions were over, I frowned. "Get out of my sight.."

They ran out of the hangar to go somewhere else as i frowned and folded my arms "I think you're being a little power happy." Ratchet stated

"No, I'm simply laying down the law.. injuring a senior officer and 1 of our high ranking sergeants is unacceptable." I looked at Sideswipe "Sideswipe, since I doubt anyone has said it, I'll say it. Thank you for trying to break up the fight."

Sideswipe simply nodded before I walked off to the medical bay and found Epps room and walked in

"For the love of christ- I'M FINE!" Epps growled when I knocked on the door to get his attention but paused when he seen me and smiled. "Y/N.."

"Jesus..they took a toll on you.." i frowned as i walked to the side of the bed

"Ah, a few bruises and some bruised bones.." he shrugged

I smiled a little and embraced him "I'm just glad I'm not seeing you in a coffin.. i'd rather see you in a hospital bed.." I said before I sat back in a chair, he talked about what happened while we were gone the past few days.

I fell asleep in the chair that night after I watched him doze off.

I arrived at a suspicious building as guards searched the truck before allowing us in as I sat there and looked around as Lennox told me to stay beside him and not to talk to anyone. Until I seen him.

I ran forward into awaiting arms "Epps!" I shouted as he embraced me tightly

"Y/n... I'm so sorry.." he said as his face pressed into my neck "I knew I should of gotten you out sooner. I knew what she did was wrong but I thought you should of stayed with her, she is all that you had.." he said as he released me and looked at Lennox who nodded and walked away, then looked at me again and sighed "you will never see her again.."

"I know.. I don't wanna be like my sister. I wanna be like you."

He smiled "You'll get there some day.. for now, I'm your guardian.."

From then on her cousin became her caretaker, he grew up into Sergeant Epps and she became an officer under his command after training her after becoming of age.

I jerked up and gasped, I reached up and wiped my tears as I looked over at Epps as he sat up in bed and stared at me

"E-epps." I stood up

He simply looked at me and frowned, pulling the IV from his arm as he got up and embraced me tightly

"They're back, aren't they?"

"Yeah.."

"I'm still here." He said and hit my back "Don't forget that."
