Mazikeen sighed as she sat down at her bench, 

"Phoenix, I love you, I do, but do not explode in my face again,"

"I did no such thing,"

Mazikeen narrowed her eyes, 

"You literally did!"

"You are the one that wanted to make additions,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"You agreed,"

"Yes, I did, but do not blame me if anything explodes,"

Mazikeen sighed, 

"Fine, but stand back, please,"

Phoenix crossed her arms, 

"I thought you needed me close,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"And I am completely winging this, pun intended,"

Phoenix chuckled but stood further away from the workbench, 

"Fine, but if the wings start sparking again, I am going to take you to Ratchet,"

Mazikeen sighed, 

"Snitch,"

"You made me?"

"Yeah, I did. Can you get Tex, please?"

"You want your son?"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"Yeah, he wanted to spend time with Aura, so Sun took him,"

"I know, I was there,"

"You always are. I just like repeating myself,"

"You should give me better facial features so you can see me rolling my eyes at you,"

Mazikeen laughed and smiled at her, 

"Maybe one day, but not today,"

Phoenix sighed,

"Okay, Tex is coming right now with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe,"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"Great, I get my brothers and son,"

"You love their company. Serotonin levels are almost the highest they ever have been when you are with them,"

Mazikeen glanced at Phoenix, 

"What do you mean by almost?"

Phoenix tilted her helmet and laughed, 

"You do not realize yet?"

Mazikeen shook her head and pointed her wrench at Phoenix, 

"Tell me,"

Phoenix crossed her arms, 

"You are at peak serotonin levels around Jazz, which is what I believe causes your nightmares not to come,"

Mazikeen frowned in confusion, 

"Jazz?"

Phoenix nodded, 

"Yes, your guardian, Jazz,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"Okay, cool,"

Phoenix groaned and sat down on Mazikeen's bed, 

"You humans are clueless,"

"HEY! I literally made you!"

Phoenix shrugged, 

"I still stand by my point,"

Mazikeen rolled her eyes, 

"I should have programmed you with less attitude,"

"You very well know that you created me to adapt. I adapted to you,"

Mazikeen groaned, 

"I regret it,"

They heard the door open, and in came Tex and the two holo-forms of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, 

"You had Phoenix call us, what's up?"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"She wanted me under supervision, and I wanted my son,"

Tex smirked and nudged his uncles, 

"Hah, take that!"

Sunstreaker narrowed his eyes at him, 

"Hey, we can easily have you on clean-up duty next time the dumb and dumber break something,"

Tex grumbled and sat down next to Phoenix. Sideswipe put a hand on Mazikeen's shoulder, 

"So, what are you making?"

The three Autobots looked over at the metal on the workbench that looked like deformed wings,

"Well, whenever I try flying very fast with Phoenix, I feel a little lopsided, so I thought about all the science fiction and realized that I needed something to stabilize us whenever we fly extremely fast. I am making wings!"

Phoenix sighed, 

"Yeah, I am getting an upgrade,"

Sunstreaker smirked, 

"Well, you have been very talkative lately,"

Phoenix shrugged, 

"I have improved my communication outside of whoever is in control,"

Mazikeen nodded, 

"Before, Phoenix could only talk to me when I was inside the suit, and we would communicate outside of it through a ring I have made, or I would yoink Will's communicator,"

Sideswipe nodded, 

"Cool, are you almost done?"

Mazikeen groaned, 

"If this shit would stop sparking,"

Sunstreaker frowned, 

"Did you electrocute yourself again?"

Mazikeen shook her head, 

"N-"

"Yes, she did,"

Mazikeen gasped, 

"Phoenix!"

Phoenix shrugged, 

"Yes? You programmed me to be honest,"

"Only when it benefited me!"

"This does. Your brothers need to know if you are hurt, or do you want me to get Jazz?"

Mazikeen immediately shook her head, 

"No. It's fine!"

Sunstreaker laughed, 

"Sure it is,"

Sideswipe smirked and crossed his arms, 

"So, Sunny and I are going to change up our alt-modes,"

Mazikeen looked up at them and gasped, 

"Really? Into what?"

"I wanted to change up and go silver. Sunny wanted to be boring and stick with gold-"

"HEY!"

Sideswipe laughed as his brother nudged him, 

"It's true!"

Mazikeen laughed, 

"Okay, boys, calm down. I think that would look great! Are you going to show me the cars, or do I have to wait?"

Sunstreaker smirked, 

"You, Aero, have to wait like everyone else,"

Mazikeen gasped, 

"Damn, Phoenix can you believe this? These little shits won't tell me, THEIR SISTER! What their new looks are going to be,"

Phoenix laughed, 

"I do believe it. You still keep a lot to yourself as well,"

Mazikeen glared at Phoenix, 

"Disrespect,"

Sunstreaker poked her, 

"What are you hiding?"

Tex crossed his arms, 

"It better not be from me. I'm your favorite son!"

"Tex, sweetheart, you are my only son,"

"I make my point,"

Sideswipe pouted, 

"Hey, you have to tell us,"

Mazikeen shook her head, 

"Nope!"

"You mean to tell me, you won't tell your very own brothers, when your birthday is?"

Mazikeen's jaw dropped at the trap she fell into, 

"PHOENIX!"

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe frowned in confusion, 

"Birthday?"

Mazikeen sighed and nodded, 

"Yeah. A birthday is what we call the day someone was born. Tex's birthday would be August 21st,"

"Hey! You remembered the day I was born!"

Mazikeen laughed and picked him up, 

"Of course I do. I know you guys don't do celebrations like we do, so I didn't celebrate with you other than the small get-together we did with Sammy, Mik, and Bee,"

Tex nodded, 

"So that is why we did that?"

Mazikeen laughed and nodded, 

"Yes, it is customary for humans to celebrate their day of birth. I don't like to celebrate mine. I haven't since I joined the army,"

Sunstreaker frowned, 

"Why not?"

Mazikeen shook her head and put Tex back down before turning back to focus on working on the wings, 

"Not my thing anymore,"

Phoenix sighed and nodded, 

"Will, Fig, and Epps have tried a few times ever since I was created, but I do believe that they have also given up,"

Sideswipe frowned and looked at Mazikeen, 

"If you ever want to talk to us about it. We will always be here for you, Aero,"

Mazikeen smiled over at him and nodded, 

"I know,"

A large spark flew from the wings again, and Mazikeen ducked as a piece came flying by her head. Phoenix stood up and ran over to her with the three Autobots close, 

"Maze!"

Mazikeen groaned as she stood back up and wiped her hands, 

"Yeah, I think that worked!"

Sunstreaker glared at her, 

"You almost took off your head!"

Mazikeen shrugged and touched a button on the wings, and it shrunk into a small device,

"See? It works now! Phoenix turn around,"

Phoenix sighed, 

"You better not make me go boom. You just redid my paint,"

Mazikeen rolled her eyes, 

"Oh, calm down, big baby,"

She pressed a few more buttons and attached the device onto Phoenix's back, 

"Okay, tell me if you can open the wings,"

"Don't you mean show you?"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"Okay, but don't whack me in the face,"

Phoenix chuckled, 

"I feel the connection to the wings. I do require some help bringing them out,"

Mazikeen nodded, and Phoenix quickly encased her. Mazikeen let down the helmet, and she looked at her brothers, 

"Okay! Test 1, let's not go boom!"

She let the helmet encase her head again, and she opened her eyes as she smirked, 

"Okay, Phoenix, let's get this shit done,"

She felt a change as a weight shifted in her back and turned her head to the side to see the wings she had just built out in the open,

"FRAG YEAH!!!! Phoenix, we did it!"

She could hear Phoenix's laughter, and Mazikeen smiled, 

"Oh my god! This is amazing! Look at how great they look!"

"Why thank you, I know I look fabulous,"

Mazikeen rolled her eyes, 

"Oh, shut up, you look this great because of me,"

"Sure,"

Mazikeen laughed, and Phoenix slowly went back into her device. Mazikeen smirked at the gapping Autobots, 

"Boom! That's what I like to call, humans for the win!"

Sunstreaker laughed, 

"Sure, but that's all you, Aero, no other human,"

Mazikeen shrugged, 

"Maybe one day I will find a worthy predecessor,"

Sideswipe smirked, 

"Sure you will,"

Tex crossed his arms, 

"What about me?"

Mazikeen patted his head, 

"Sweetheart, I say this with much love, Phoenix can not possibly fit around you,"

Tex dramatically sighed, 

"Fine, fine, but we can find someone!"

Mazikeen chuckled, 

"I have no doubt about that. Now, let's get back to training!"

Tex sighed, 

"I thought this was going to be a fun day!"

Mazikeen picked him up and placed him on her shoulder, 

"It will! We just have to watch everyone train together, and I want to check up on some people,"

Sunstreaker smirked, 

"Like Jazz?"

Mazikeen slapped him, 

"No, Jazz is with Dumb and Dumber right now, making them do the tasks that I assigned them,"

Sideswipe smirked, 

"But don't you need to make sure that they are?"

Mazikeen narrowed her eyes at them, 

"What do you know that I don't?"

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe smirked at each other, 

"Oh, nothing, Aero,"

Mazikeen groaned, 

"I'll check on that later. See you both at the meeting!"

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe frowned, 

"Meeting?"

Mazikeen smirked, 

"Prowl wants to talk to all of you about some new training sequences that he came up with back on Cybertron. I am simply going to sit in so I get more information about you guys,"

Sideswipe groaned, 

"Oh, come on! I thought Prowl was sent away on missions!"

Mazikeen laughed, 

"Nope, he's back,"

Sunstreaker sighed, 

"Fine, fine, see you later, Aero,"

Mazikeen laughed as she walked away. Tex looked at her, 

"What meeting? I have not heard about anything,"

Mazikeen started laughing, 

"I know,"

Tex gasped, 

"You pranked them!"

Mazikeen smirked and patted his head, 

"Hell yeah, I did. That's what they get for trying to get me over to Dumb and Dumber,"

Tex groaned, 

"You are oblivious, mother,"

Mazikeen frowned, 

"What? No, I am not,"

Tex shook his head, 

"Sure,"

Mazikeen sighed, 

"Oh, hush, let's go see what Angel is up to on her training,"

"You just want to bully your friend,"

"Maybe,"

Tex laughed as they continued walking.
