BROOKLYN, 1994
━ seeing old friends!

The side of Noah's door was thrown open, causing him to be tossed out roughly. Just before (Y/N) was going to push her door open, the car started to transform into something, with her right in the middle of it.

She remined still as a statue, eyes shut tightly while the gears fly past her head to transform into the robot form. Before she knew it, her figure was gently placed down beside Noah by slightly warm metal servos, as he quickly pulled his dizzy sister behind him.

"Wooo-hoo-hoooo!" The now transformed Autobot, Mirage cheered excited, his back faced them as he was standing in the shadows, "That felt good! Gets the oil pumping, you know?"

(Y/N)'s jaw dropped in shock seeing his actual form, gripping onto Noah's jacket's sleeve as he backed them up away from Mirage, who was now walking around a little.

"Damn! I've been cooped up forever, dude. I can't tell you how old it gets." Mirage was starting to rant enthusiastically, servos on his metal hips, "'Mirage, stay hidden! Mirage, don't draw any attention to yourself! Mirage, Big is just a movie! You'll never be a real boy!'" He finally stops talking, and stands in front of them, "But, that was fun, man. You guys are fun."

His blue optics catch Noah's freaked out expression, and (Y/N)'s wonder filled one. His derman lift up into a smile, squatting down to their level, "Oh, right. This is probably a lot for you guys, huh?"

She shook her head slowly with a parted mouth, hands up to her chest, and gulps nervously, "N-no, not really for me-" She squeaked out under his stare, before getting tugged back by Noah away from a chuckling Mirage.

Noah kept her behind his figure, and grabs a nearby pipe to defend them, swining it up into the air, "Back up!" He warns in a shaky voice.

Mirage raised his arms up defensively, and stood up to his full height over them, "Hey woah, woah. What's with the aregression?" He questioned confused, and tilted his helm cockily, "I though after the chase we were buds? What you gonna hit me?"

(Y/N) shot her brother an incredulously look, and went to push down the pole raised up to hit Mirage, "No, he's not going to. Right, Noah?" Her voice dropped into a smaller one, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Maybe." He answered with a gulp, gripping the pole tighter even when she tried to lower it, and stood in front of her again.

Mirage hummed lowly, "It's like that?" He asked threateningly, his metal arm turning into a cannon, and fired it up as he points this at Noah, who didn't back down while (Y/N) squealed startled.

"Hm? Tough guys," He commented impressed, and pulled back his gun out of their faces, crossing his arms against his chest plate "I like that. I like it a lot."

He went to squat down again near the girl seeing her spooked features, and places his metal cheek in his servos palm, "No need to freak out, pretty lady. I ain't gonna hurt you." He assured, optics staring her down intently, which made her stiffen up more.

Noah scowled at his actions to his sister, and raised the pole again to bring Mirage's attention back to him, "What are you? Some sort of possessed car or something?"

He stood back up from his position, and made an air release noise, a servo waving him off, "Nah, that's not real." He motioned to himself excitedly, "I'm an alien."

Noah stuttered for words, and glanced at his sister for help who nodded in confirmation with an awkward smile, "L-Like E.T?"

"E.T? The little ugly guy in the basket?" Mirage questioned offended at his claim, and points to his face with two servos, "Look at this face! The name's Mirage!"

He went to show his scrunched up servo's fist to them, and held it up while Noah slowly lowered the pole from his sister doing it, "C'mon! Gimme a little- Gimme a little! Gimme a little tap..."

(Y/N) gives her brother an reassuring look watching him hesitate, and stares amused as Noah goes to rise his fist, and bumps his fist against Mirage's. However that stops when he held out a single, much larger digit to her, and motioned to it enthusiastically.

She bites on her bottom lip shyly, and reaches out a finger to wrap around his cold digit sideways, as he does it back and eventually lets go with a happy laugh.

"There we go, now we're friends!" He exclaimed rather excitedly, and his shoulders drop a little hearing the incoming cars coming, grumbling, "Oh great, the gangs here."

Her faces lights up in acknowledgement at his words, already knowing some Autobots was coming their way. She grips Noah's forearm with her fingers, and sticks to his side, Mirage watching the entire scene closely.

"There's more like you?" Noah asked with a face srunch, and placed his free hand on top of his sisters touching his arm, patting it in comfort.

"Like me?" Mirage pointed to himself in a higher pitched tone, and shook his head with a smirk, "Nah, but be cool so they don't crush you." He warned them, before walking towards the entrance, "And I'd listen to the pretty lady, and put that pipe down."

She felt embarrassed by that nickname coming out of his mouth, and half scowled up at Mirage, who was now faced away from them. Just then, a familiar yellow Camaro came drifting into the factory building, along with a pink motorcycle, and then a red and blue truck, who soon transformed into his robot form.

"Bee, Prime..." (Y/N) whispered to herself in awe at seeing them again after all this time, and went to take a step forward beside Noah, instead of hiding behind him.

Once Optimus had fully transformed, he ducked his helm a little bit, and stomped into the building. Each step he made echoed around the area, and Noah immediately threw away the pole at how intimidating the Autobot leader looked.

Behind them, Bumblee was now also transforming into his robot form, and his baby blue optics landed on the grinning (Y/N), "Starfleet Captain!" His radio talked through different stations, features brighting up seeing his old friend again.

She raced over to his squatting figure now, ignoring Noah's quiet exclaims for her to stay by his side, and went to the best she could, wrap her arms around Bee's helm in a hug, "Nice seeing you again, Bee." She greeted, cheek pressed against his cold face plate.

From in the corner, Mirage watched the interaction curiously, and hummed to himself lowly, metal arms crossed over his chest plate in thought.

Bumblebee made some wheering happy noises, a digit patting the top of her head making (Y/N) giggle to herself, and pull back from the hug. Bee's eyes now fell onto the stunned Noah, and stood back up to his full height, "Well, well, who do we have here?"

Quickly walking back over to her brother, Noah grabbed her arm once more, and pushed her back behind him protectively. He had a lot of questions for (Y/N) after this, and wanted to know how she knew these Aliens.

From off to the side, the motorbike transformed into her robot form, and did some backflips to land onto a higher platform to be in level with the other Autobots, "Mirage, what have you done?" Arcee questioned in disbelief.

Optimus bent down to the siblings level on the ground, a combat mouthplate covering his dermas, "You brought a human here?" He rumbled out threateningly, this being aimed at Noah as he knew who the girl was already.

"Optimus hey! Lookin' good, man!" Mirage jumped into the conversation, and tried to ease his angry leader as he was near the girls tiny figure, "Wait a second, are those new rims?"

The Primes glaring optics flickered to his smaller form, "You we're told to stay hidden!" He reminded frustrated, and took a step forward that caused Mirage to slightly move back.

Mirage held up his metal arm in surrender, "Right, right. Crazy coincidence. When you called all Optimus-like," He goes to mimic the leaders voice, servos on his hips, "'Autobots, Roll out!', they were already in the car. But they're cool, so it's cool, cool?"

"Not cool." Optimus grumbled out, and went to reach down to grab Noah in his servo, while he held out his other for (Y/N) to stand onto. Carefully lifting them both up this his face, he went to question Noah, "Who are you, human?"

She grimaced nervously seeing her brothers freaking out face, and gently tapped one of Prime's digits to gain his attention, "Hey, OP. Don't mind him, that's my brother."

The Autobot vented heavily, and lifted her closer to his face, dermas lifted up the slightest, but faded quickly soon after, "Good to see you, old friend."

"She's right! I'm nobody, I ain't even see nun." Noah ranted out in panic after their small talk, which made Optimus mood turn sour again, and watched Noah's eyes shut close, "I'm not even seeing anything right now."

(Y/N) gave her brother a wide eyed stare at his behaviour, and words as she snickers under her breath spotting Primes blunt look. She yelped a bit startled when she was moved from inside his servos palm, and gently placed onto Mirage's shoulder plate. He grinned smugly up at her, causing her to huff and look away to Noah, while being careful to sit down on the shoulder, legs dangling out front.

"Arcee." Their leader called out to the woman, and turned around to show Noah to her, taking a few steps over where she was standing.

A pink visor was slipped down onto her optics, and a bright light was scanned over Noah's figure, "Private Noah Diaz. U.S. Army. Multiple commendations. A wizard with electronics, just like his sister. Hmm, he's a soldier." She informs, before the light faded.

Optimus took steps back again away from her, and glanced down at Noah with judgement, "He does not look like a soldier."

(Y/N) raised her eyebrows in defence hearing that comment thrown at Noah, and holds onto the side of Mirage's headlight on his shoulder, "OP, may I remind you, that you're looking pretty rough yourself."

Mirage cackles with laughter at her words, before it died down at Primes glare on him, and he clears his throat awkwardly, "Sorry.." He looks away to the side, sheepishly, "Sir."

She tilted her head down at Mirage from his shoulder, and leant forward a little with a teasing smile, "Nice one, Mirage. Seems like you listen very well." She mused cheekily, patting his shoulder plate as well.

He tensed up at this, pedal kicking imagery dust on the ground, as he avoids her eyes in embarrassment. And she knew he was, by how she felt his metal heat up underneath her butt again, and hand.

"I'll deal with your mistake later." Optimus talks again which broke their moment up, and saw as Noah was placed atop the upper platform, so he was level with them all.

Arcee leaps over the railing she was leaning on, and joins her fellow Autobots on the floor, "Okay, the energy surge we felt was in the 4000th yadahertz range," Her optics show a hologram of the transwarp key, "which is undetectable to humans. I've reconstructed the source from the energy echoes."

"I cannot believe it!" Prime comments in disbelief, but also grateful as this may be a way home for them, "It exists and it is here."

Bee raises his servos in confusion, and used a voice line from Spaceballs through the radio to talk, "What the hell am I looking at?"

"The transwarp key. It was thought to be lost thousands of years ago." Optimus answered the bot, and looked at the floating hologram in deep thought, "It was once used to open space time portals to energon-rich planets throughout the universe."

Mirage takes a few steps forward at this, and makes sure the girl on his shoulder doesn't fall off with a digit placed against her much smaller leg, "You mean energon-rich planets like...?"

"Cybertron!" (Y/N) finished his sentence over him, before getting embarrassed realising she spoke during their discussion. She shrunk deeper into Mirage's shoulder-plate seeing their gazes on her, while the one she was on nods his helm, smirking proudly.

Optimus also agrees with her words, already knowing she would understand that easily, and starts to talking again, "After seven long years stranded on Earth, we finally found a way home."

Mirage hums in acknowledgement, and places one servo onto his metal hip, "Okay, so where is this... tra-tr-tr..." He struggles to pronounce the word, most likely him forgetting it instead.

"Transwarp key?" Arcee helps the male out, and raised her optical ridge (brow) up at him in amusement.

"Thank you." Mirage points a finger at her in gratefulness, trying to keep his engine from overheating in embarrassment hearing (Y/N)'s quiet laughs at the interaction.

"It's in the new museum on Ellis Island." Arcee tell him, and the small group listening, servos touching her helm to search where the exact place was.

Bee raises his metal arm out wide, and wiggles his servos around, "Let's blow it up!" He pointed a digit thumb over his shoulder, "Get the hell out of Dodge."

While they contuined talking about the plan to get inside, (Y/N)'s eyes land on her brother trying to swing down off the ladder, and she knew he needed help off, "Hey, Mirage?" She questioned quietly to him, gaining his attention instantly as he tilted his helm up to her, "Can you let me down for a sec?"

He pouted hearing she wanted off, and held out a his metal palm for her to climb onto reluctantly. She does so carefully without tripping, and he gently lowered her onto the floor, then turned back to the conversation.

"The humans will hunt us down. What we need is a quiet way in." Arcee was explaining to Bee about how they couldn't sneak in, and then they hear a loud thump from behind them, catching their attention.

Noah had fallen on top of his sister's stomach trying to get down, her butt landing onto the cement with a groan, and saw all the Autobots staring at them, half amused at her position.

"Ooh, how 'bout them?" Mirage suggested in a happy tone, two servos pointed in the duo's direction as they tried to get up from the ground.

Prime shakes his helm sideways, not liking that idea even if he did trust the girl out of them, "No."

"What? C'mon man!" Mirage complains through a whine, and tilts his helm also to face the siblings, smiling brightly, as he does motions with his servos while talking, "They can slip in through one of them little doors! Grab the key, leave a nice I.O.U, peace out. They're perfect."

Noah had finally gotten up with (Y/N)'s arm around his shoulders, and stabled them both, "What?" He questioned him with a weird face.

"No. It is a bad idea." Optimus spoke in a dismissive tone, and turned away from the scene to face Mirage with a strong look.

Noah nods his head rapdily, and points his free hand at the tallest bot, while his sister stayed silent, "I agree with big man. So, it's been real ya'll but..." He trailed off, and went to lead himself out with (Y/N).

"Woah timeout!" Mirage exclaimed quickly, servos raised up as his fellow Autobots who also disagreed with the idea, "No, no. I know, I know!" He retorted, and walked over to the siblings, "Let me just talk to my girl, and her brother real quick."

(Y/N) made a funny noise at his words for her, and face changing into an embarrassed one watching Mirage come over to them, eyes ten times their size. At the same time, Noah scowled at Mirage, getting protective over his younger sister once more.

"Yo, don't leave me with these tight-asses, guys! We make a great team!" Mirage bent down a little to their level, and whispered but not really because the others could still hear him clearly.

"This is a waste of time!" Optimus spoke up in a rumble, servo waving off the issue at hand, and went to face the other way.

"Look, we're not breaking into a museum for some space robots." Noah responded defensively, and slipped his hand into his sisters, who slightly hit his arm at his offensive words.

Mirage shuffled closer to them, his figure hunched over to be at smaller level with the duo, and points a single servo at where (Y/N)'s heart would be, "What about for friendship?" He suggested enthusiastically, getting a deadpan from Noah and a giggle from her.

"Uh! Or, or," Mirage went to raise a digit to show wait seeing his reaction, and outstretched his arms, "What about for cash?" He asked, making the siblings glance at each other, knowing this could help their brother.

Mirage nodded his helm at their sudden change of expressions of interest, "Uh-huh." He voices, and started to walk slowly backwards, a sway in his hips, "You guys help us get this key so we can get off this rock. No offense. Love the neighborhood and all. And then, I let you two sell me."

The familiar sound of an Autobot transforming was heard, as Mirage shifts into different cars each word to show them, "Lambo? Ferrari? Indy?"

He turns back into his robot form, doing a little hope as he gets up from the floor, and opens his arms again with swagger, "Look, you two get paid and then I'll split."

(Y/N) hummed in thought at this, and placed her finger and thumb under her chin, "So all we gotta do is walk in and out?" She asked carefully, and stared up at Mirage curiously.

He squats down to her level again, and smirked lopsided, "All you gotta do. We'll take care of the rest. Cross my spark and hope to die." He does what he said, and pauses realising how bad that sounded, "Wow! That was corny when I said it out loud."

She snorted under her breath in amused, her fingers covering her mouth as she looks at him. Mirage hears the laugher coming from her, and visible light up in pride, sending another smirk down her way.

Noah glared warningly at Mirage, and tugged his sister to stand a bit behind him. He side eyes Optimus who was walking up to them a little bit, "And what about the big man? Optimal whatever?"

"You.." Mirage paused, and motioned to himself with a servo reassuringly, "let me worry about him. Cool?" He asked between them, before his blue optic's land on her, "Cool with you lil lady?"

She tensed at the attention on her again, gripping Noah's sleeve tightly as she and Mirage stare at each other for a few second of silence. And finally, she nod a little with a tiny nose scrunch smile.

"Ah! Gottem," The Autobot cheers with a clap, and jumps back up in excitement away from them, "they're in baby! Woo!"

(Y/N) and Noah share a look with each other, wondering what the heck they had just gotten themselves into.
