Amanda had gone to the weapon specialists area to see her bittie sisters' Creator-in-bond. She had got there and noticed that Iris was speaking with a mech that looked like Ironhide.

"Iris, I need to speak with you." Amanda said walking towards the two

"We'll continue this later, Ironfist." Iris said

"You going to be alright?" Ironfist asked quietly

"I'll be fine." Iris said

Ironfist then left the two femmes to speak.

"What do you need to talk about?" Iris asked calmly

"Tell Chromia to back off of Theresa and Ironhide. She can't have him since he's bonded to my sister." Amanda said loud enough for only Iris to hear

"I'm not the one who gave her that order. Some bot else gave her the order. I've been trying to not only figure out who but also put an end to it. To keep her away outside of school." Iris said, "It's better if we speak somewhere more private."

Iris then leads Amanda to her office. Her office was soundproof where no bot could hear what was going on inside.

"Chromia doesn't seem to care or acknowledge that my son is not in love with her. That Theresa is bonded to him." Iris said grabbing something from her desk drawer, "I have something I want you to give to your sister. It's a picture I've kept since before my family got separated."

"Why are you giving my sister this photo? You should keep it." Amanda said taking the photo

"It's not just for her, but for the bitties that are growing in her." Iris said sitting down

"She's sparked? How do you know this?" Amanda said confused sitting down

"I know because her scent is different. I may have given my abilities to transform more towards my daughter than my son, but I couldn't get rid of my sensitivity to smell. Especially when it comes to bots not knowing that they're sparked."

"Cybercats know when others go into mating or heat. I know that my protocols will turn on when I'm about twenty-five stellar cycles." Amanda said, "I'm so looking forward to when that happens."

"You're a Cybercat?"

"Have been for as long as I can remember."

"I don't even want to know."

"Long story that makes no sense."

"Understandable."

"Theresa is still pure. How is she sparked?"

"When their sparks went through the surgery they had bonded; which led Theresa to become sparked."

"I can't believe I've been talking with the femme who's been a complete aft to my sister because she was trying to protect her."

"It's been good speaking with you as well, Amanda."

"I better get back before the other wreckers start to get worried, and the other weapon specialists think that I've killed you." Amanda said standing up

"Know that if you need to speak with me about anything like what has been said here will be just between us. Nothing will be said. Not even to my mate or Sire." Iris said standing up as well

"I appreciate it." Amanda said walking towards the door

"Don't open the door. It's not safe." Iris said after sniffing the air, "Two of my Sire's guards have their weapons pointed at the door loaded and ready to open fire the astro-second the door opens."

"How am I supposed to leave without getting shot at?" Amanda asked hearing the guards' guns starting to buzz to life

"I have a hidden passageway that I would use when I was your age to get out. It leads to the old and forgotten tunnels underneath the cities. I can get you to the alleyway near your Creator's housing." Iris said sniffing the air again, "If we're going to do it we better do it fast cause a few more just showed up."

"Let's go then. I know that one of them has an override." Amanda said hearing the override clicking

"It's this way." Iris said pushing a series of buttons

A hidden tunnel was revealed. It had cobwebs and dust all over.

"Get in quickly. It will close automatically after I'm in." Iris said ushering Amanda into the passage

Amanda then ran into the passage. She looked behind her to see Iris enter. The passageway then closed.

"Any source of light?" Amanda asked

"One that I refused to get rid of to either of my creations." Iris said, "It's something that I wanted Ironhide to have, but he has his own ability to figure out."

Iris then let certain parts of her frame shift to reveal many unique patterns glowing all across her frame.

"Quickly. It's this way." Iris said walking forward

"What kind of former Cyberwolf are you?" Amanda asked following behind her

"The former Queen. The Alpha by others terms." Iris said stopping all of a sudden

"Why did you stop?" Amanda asked

"There's a Cybercat in front of us. Lurking and waiting for us to get closer."

"It's Bast. She's been keeping an optic on me, but dislikes those that wish harm upon myself and those I care for."

"Can you let her know that we need to get through so that way in case they do find this passageway?"

"Bast. Du måste släppa igenom oss. Vi jagas av vakterna i Cozbi. Iris är inte längre ett hot mot oss. Hon vill hjälpa oss. Hjälp oss att fly och komma härifrån innan det är för sent." Amanda spoke

"Är du säker på att hon kan lita på? Hon har orsakat din syster, Theresa, känslomässig smärta." Bast asked

"Jag är. Hon testade bara henne. Hjälp oss nu att komma härifrån. Innan jag aldrig kan få chansen att se min familj och älskare igen."

"Snabbt. Jag hör hur de kämpar för att få upp passagen. Jag känner till ett sätt som de inte kan följa."

Translation from Swedish: "Bast. You must let us through. We are being hunted by the guards of Cozbi. Iris is no longer a threat to us. She wishes to help us. Help us escape and get out of here before it's too late." "Are you certain that she can be trusted? She has caused emotional pain to your sister, Theresa." "I am. She was only testing her. Now help us get out of here. Before I can never get the chance to see my family and lover again." "Quickly. I hear them struggling to get the passageway open. I know of a way that they can not follow."

"She knows a way that they cannot follow. We best hurray because they figured out the passageway." Amanda said dragging Iris with her

"Then let us not make haste." Iris said sprinting

"You don't have a tracker on you?" Amanda asked looking at Iris

"I left it back in my office. It was the bracelet you saw earlier." Iris said

"Good."

The three had managed to dodge a bullet but would have to deal with many others later on. Iris and Amanda walked out of a tunnel only to walk into the forest. Bast was behind them covering the tunnel with steel and crystals.
