Magic in my Spark

Chapter 3

"Yes, I like that nickname. Megatron is too...meh. He holds similarities to someone I know of so why not a much better name?"

Before Jazz can respond, the door slid open to reveal Lennox and Epps.

"Oh, no. More muggles to obliviate..."

"What is going on here?" Lennox asked.

"Does everyone see what I'm seeing?" Epps asked, his eyes glued to the young witch.

"I assure you, your eyesight is not faulty." Ratchet helpfully supplied.

Alternate Timeline

Gardenia walked to the entrance, gathering the attention of soldiers who were closest to the entrance. That garnered the attention of other soldiers as they look to see what their fellow soldiers are looking at. The chain reaction continued among the soldiers until it caught the attention of Lennox, Epps, Sam, Mikaela, and the rest of the Cybertronians. Even the ones who are immobile can sense that something is going on so they cease their glares and instead increase their senses.

"Hello, kid. Are you lost?" Lennox spoke up. He came up to her and bent down. "Why is she carrying a broom? Where are her parents?" He fretted. Having a daughter himself, he is worried about how this kid, who should not even be alone, ended up here. There's only soldiers, the 2 teenagers, and the Cybertronians here. The civilians are taken care of by ambulances and medical personnel. There's also the issue that she's a civilian and she's now aware of alien robots. If the Decepticons could move again, they would no doubt target her and use her as a hostage to get their way.

"I'm lost and I'm not lost."

And now this kid is speaking in riddles? What's next, magic exists?

Gardenia looked at the Autobots before looking at Lennox. "Hi. I'm Gardenia. May I talk to the robots privately if possible? I have something to discuss with them."

Everyone paused at the girl's words. What would she want to discuss with the Cybertronians? She's just a kid and shouldn't even be aware of them. Her parents are probably worrying about their missing child right now. Her accent suggests that she's not from here.

"Uh. What robots? There are no robots. No, no, I don't see them. Those are statues." Sam spazzed out. It's maybe not too late to keep the Cybertronians secret, right?

"Fool." Megatron thought.

Gardenia deadpanned at Sam. "Do you think I'm dumb?"

"I-"

"Don't answer that. That's a rhetorical question."

Ironhide chuckled. "She's a sassy little thing. I like her."

"Thank you." Gardenia nodded her head.

"I'm not authorized to do that." Lennox stated. "They are a secret and it's best if you don't talk about them to anyone."

"I won't. I'll even make an unbreakable vow."

Lennox shook his head at the term, his thoughts going towards more pressing matters. "Where are your parents? They must be worried sick looking for you. Are they in Mission City?"

"No...Is Mission City in Britain? I've never heard of it. I'm from Britain."

Lennox paused. "You are a long way from home. You're in the United States right now."

Gardenia cursed the spirit that sent her so far from home in her head. "Oh." She should contact her father to tell him to don't look for her right now and that she's safe. Knowing him, he would be turning every stone to look for her and worry himself to death. Gardenia pats her shorts pocket, feeling a small rectangle. Good, she still has her two way mirror.

"Well, can I still talk to them?" If she can't talk to them privately, she'll just talk to them in front of all these people. That means no magic to convince them of her story. If she doesn't use magic here, it'll take longer for the magical government in America to find her. Granted, it won't be much of a difference but she'll take a few minutes longer from detection over encountering them sooner. She is so going to be in trouble. It's a good thing that she's not old enough to be arrested though.

Gardenia seemed to be insistent about talking to the Cybertronians and since she's here and aware of them anyway, he might as well allow her to. Not privately though because they should still be in their sights for security measures and to keep an eye on the Decepticons in case they can move again.

"Not privately. We need them here to keep an eye on the Decepticons."

"Okay." Gardenia turned to the Cybertronians. She might as well be straightforward. "I was sent here by a ghost or spirit to stop the war."

Everyone startled at the very straightforward sentence.

Gardenia continued on. "It said something about how I'm the chosen one and to end the war because there's enough deaths. So, I'm here to talk to both you guys and the ones lying on the ground."

The humans openly gaped at the girl and an awkward silence followed.

"Do you know who the ghost or spirit is?" Optimus broke the silence.

Gardenia shook her head. "No. It came from an archway and sounded very contradictory. It sounded old and young at the same time, masculine and feminine."

"Primus." Optimus vented.

"Is that the name of the spirit? You know them?" Gardenia's hope soared. She wants to talk to them about sort of kidnapping her and dumping her in the middle of a battle. They are long overdue for a good talk.

If Megatron could move, he would've grabbed the flesh bag and shook it.

The Cybertronians were shocked that their god would contact a human or flesh bag about ending the war, especially one as strange as her.

"It's possible that the voice you heard was Primus. They are our god."

"Oh." Gardenia nodded. She is still going to talk to the god about involving her in a war when she just got out of one alive. "Since I'm going to be involved, would you introduce yourselves? I'll be able to identify you better."

Optimus introduced everyone, including the Decepticons who are unable to introduce themselves (Megatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp).

"Nice to meet you guys."
