If Only

Chapter 7

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." I finish, smiling.

They'll never guess a thing.

"Ha, I like this girl."

"Anyways, I didn't quite catch your names as you had so many things to catch up on. Can you answer me that?"

"My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, this is my weapons specialist, Ironhide." Optimus says, directing towards the black armored one. "And this is my medical officer, Ratchet. In time you will meet the rest," he adds.

Ratchet is the one who happened to notice my injuries first, probably the one to heal the wounds also before I went to prison. He stepped forward, infront of Optimus and did the same thing with his arm and the green light went through my frame. Along with the same tingling sensation.

"Would you stop with that already?"

"Your wounds seem to be healing well. How are you feeling?

"Great, actually. I escaped from prison, decoded a virus, and made a few jokes. It's been a good day." I retort, with a laugh.

Ironhide laughed at this, and said, "Ha, sounds like you had a full day."

"Very much so. That place was getting boring anyway. Did you know they didn't serve broccoli there?!"

"We're glad to have you here, Phoneix Hunter Chaines."

"Alright, alright. Stop with the full name thing. It's weird. Just call me Phoneix, alright? Alright."

"Well, you definitely haven't changed since we last met." Epps chimes in, with a chuckle.

"Oh C'mon. I wasn't gonna change. It was only a matter of time before I made my escape anyway."

Now I for one, expected that completey." Ratchet begins, as everyone looks to him with wonder.

"Oh really? You didn't? She's a genius. Keeping her locked up is a bad idea!"

"Yes, yes it was. That, however, is done and over with." Smirking, I place my hand to my hip. "So, I'm going to take a guess you guys," pointing a finger at the soldiers. "Looked through my computer?"

"Uh, yeah." Lennox affirms. "And we're deeply sorry we couldn't get you of jail, we understand that what you did was for the greater good."

"It's just the government wouldn't exactly approve of me building bombs, but I kinda expected that. Ha, who cares about them though? I think I just saved their butts just a minute ago."

"Man, we've been working on deactivating that virus for two days now, and you do it in there hours. How did you possibly manage that?"

"Ratchet answered that earlier, I'm a genius. Simple."

Ironhide laughs at this, and crosses his arms over his chest. To once again begin with, "Seriously? You can't be that smart. You're too young."

"Try me." Gazing go the soldiers, and then to the Autobots I retort, "I built bombs from scratch, built my own weapons with random prices I found lying around, and built my own motorcycle. Now tell me, do you believe me now?"

They might not have known about the superspeed bike thing, however. For they took a step back and looked to one another before answering.

"You're bike has been fixed up too?"

"Yup."

"Phoneix, do you know of all the individuals you fought?" Optimus asks, sternly.

"Er, I know of the names I gave them, but not their real names, no."
