If Only

Here I am, sitting with my legs propped up and my arms crossed waiting for General Marcus to walk in. Based on what I have gathered, from his office anyway, General Marcus is head of N.E.S.T. I can't wait to see his face when he sees me, out of prison, sitting in his chair. On top of that, I switched out of my jail attire into a military uniform, to look more formal. The orange suit is now lying across the chair, right across from me.

The door opens, with General Marcus walking in and shutting the door behind him. Turning to me, he stares astonished, and I smile sweetly and say, "Miss me?"

"How..how did you get out?!" He yells, flustered.

"I'll never tell."

"Wait..how did you get in my office?" he begins, with an even more frustrated gaze.

"You need my help don't you?" asking with a smirk, I stand up, crossing my arms once more.

General Marcus takes a few seconds to stare at me, before answering.

"Fine, but when this is over, you're going back."

"Haha, no I'm not."

Looking around his office, he walks up to his desk and picks up his phone.

"Eh, I think I found someone to help us with our security problem." He says, glancing at me before hanging up.

Walking to the door and opening it. General Marcus turns back to me.  "Come with me."

With that, I follow him out the door and we walk opposite of how I had gotten in. Speedily, he shows me the room I had met the Autobots in, I'm guessing where the security breech was caught. They must also still be attempting to fix this virus, as he isn't saying he doesn't need my help.

I walk through the doors that General Marcus had opened, to see all of the Autobots, and soldiers, baffled expressions.

"No time for explanations." General Marcus explains, as I reach the stairs, and hop up each step.

This is going to be fun.

Taking a seat beside of the 5 military men who had their eyes embedded to the screen, I twisted the chair towards the general to ask, "Alright, so what's going on?"

"An anonymous coder has planted a virus into one of our systems. We have been working tirelessly to divert it, but it would seem nothing is working."

I nod knowingly. "Okay," I say standing up, walking towards one of the coders. "Move."

"What?"

"Get up, move." I tell him, shooing him away.

He looks towards the general to see if I'm being honest, to which he nods. After he gets up with a huff, I sit down quickly and get to work. The 4 coders beside me flash a look to me, confused, before getting back to work as well. Smirking to my self, I put on the headset and begin to deactivate the virus.

***
3 hours, along with 2 interruptions later, I finally finished. Sighing, and rubbing the sweat off my brow, I take off the headset. The 4 other hackers had already left, 2 hours ago, upon realizing I didn't need their help. I am one to admit, that was a tough virus to break.

"Wow."

I turn in my chair to see Lennox with his arms crossed, staring at the screen behind me. Along with Optimus and a few others behind him.

"Yep, but it's done and over with." I say, standing up out of the twisty chair.

"I still want to know how you somehow escaped." The black Autobot asked, returning his gaze to me.
