Y/n
-------

The small cybertronian and the small organic creature sat in the darkness for a long while before the smaller creature spoke

???: ..... what now?

Y/n glanced over to where the other being sat across from her, regarding the other with an unknown fear

???: um.... what are you? If you don't mind me asking.....sorry this is really strange for me and I'm struggling to figure out how to react

Y/n stared at her for a second before she opened her mouth

Y/n: i-I'm a Cybertronian, from cybertron
She whispered not knowing what else to say

???: that.... sigh, I mean like what's your purpose? Why are you on earth?

The robot tilted her head and thought back remembering the horrors she had witnessed

Y/n: the war....... all the grown ups were fighting,  I don’t know why... the spider

She found herself shaking with fear at the thought of that many legged monster and the bodies in her lair, she was shaking so much that it was now audible

Marci
----------

Marci tried to sort through this new information, the robot spoke of 'grown ups' meaning she must be the equivalent of a child to this species,  and then there was an apparent war and something about a spider, it took her a second to notice the shaking

Looking up towards the soft metallic sounds she saw the robot shaking, her eyes shut tight with her head buried in her knees,  she looked terrified

Marci: Hey, are you ok?

The machine looked up slightly meeting the humans eyes, those big beautiful blue eyes, so wide and innocent

Marci felt a sudden pang of sadness and pity

The bot didn't answer for a long time

???: I think my home is lost..... the war was so long and terrible that some say it killed the planet, killed primus, that's probably why they sent us away

Marci's eyes widened at this new revelation, this cybertron was now uninhabitable as far as she could understand and to escape some of them were sent off world, that is if she were to belive the word of this creature

Marci: so, what is your name?

The robot looked away a bit and sighed

Y/n: I was never given a name by others, but I like to call myself y/n

Marci: y/n, that's a nice name, but what do you mean you were never given a name, what did your parents call you.... wait do your people have parents?

Y/n shrugged sadly and curled herself into a tighter ball

Y/n: I don't know,  I've been alone for as long as I remember....all I can remember is hiding and scavenging for energon, I was worried more about surviving than anything else

The robotic child sighed and looked down

Y/n: I wish I had a family though, someone to help me with my transforming, to share energon with. Someone to hold me when I'm scared... or to..

She seemed to notice she was rambling and camped her mouth shut, Marci felt that same pang of sadness along with more questions

She stayed silent as she tried to think of a way to respond, this child was obviously in need of shelter and care, but what could a mear human do to facilitate that? Another bridge she'd need to burn later,  for right now she'd simply try her best

Marci: I might not know what your people need..... but I can offer you shelter here, and as much help as I can provide, you'll be safe here

She didn't think about what she did next, standinf up from the floor she crossed over to the larger robot, she reached her had upward and placed it against the side of the bots face

to her surprise the child seemed to hesitantly lean into the touch, closing those big blue eyes

Y/n: promise?

Marci: I promise....

???
--------

???: We have an energon spike, looks like a crashed exodus pod, signal is unknown

???2: so a free agent?

???: not necessarily,  it just means it's we have no idea who it might be,  I recommend extreme caution

???3: *beeping and buzzing noises*

???: correct, it is in close proximity to the homes of our human alies, it is recommended that they remain here until this unknown cybertronian is found and determined to be friend or foe, good luck, roll out
