Crosshairs called y/n a mech yet again as she growled, he raised an optic ridge. Yes, she looked more masculine than any femme ever forged or built on Cybertron but this was insulting!

"And HE Fragged up once again-" Crosshairs digits accusingly pointed in her direction as a point to Cade as he looked at her

Bumblebee turned away with a fist by his mouth, as if he was trying not to laugh while crosshair used masculine terms.

Hound softly chuckled as he knew the truth as well after her last medical exam.

She growled and pulled her sword from her sheath and ran up on him "CALL ME A MECH ONE MORE TIME, SO HELP ME PRIMUS ILL RIP YOUR SPARK OUT BEFORE YOUR VERY OPTICS SO FAST YOU WONT KNOW WHAT HIT YOU!!"

"Easy, easy, y/n." Hound quickly defused the threat as Crosshair sat up from his fallen position

"Then what the slag am I supposed to call you?" He grumbled

"SHE, HER, MY NAME PERHAPS?!"

"Wait- you mean-"

"I'm a femme!" She snarled

Cade and Jimmy watched the situation unfold as Jimmy stared in slight awe

"I didn't know y/n was a girl..." He softly murmured

"As upsetting as it is to be a femme from my frame structure it's what I am so I'm sorry if I come of as a THREAT. Yeah, ooo all you want but I don't give a frag anymore. I'm this close to ripping out your vocals." She put a tiny space barely visible between her digits.

"Hey, femme, i think it's pretty cool, why don't you come with me we can soak in oil?" Daytrader grinned

"Frag off, you filthy scum of an autobot." She snarled

"Aw I'm just trying to be friendly is all." He retorted

Crosshair simply looked up at her, now that he thought about it, her chest plating was a little bulkier than most mechs. He always did have a slight attraction to the me- femme. But finding out she was actually femme set the attraction on a higher level as he stood up.

"Need a look at her medical record?" Hound barked a laugh

"No." Crosshair said as he folded his arms

Grimlock walked over as he leaned down nudging y/n. She looked at him before climbing up on his back "Grim and I will go on patrol, in the meantime, Cade can you get Bee's vocal processor up and running? it only needs to be temporary but we need to talk, best if he's not spewing radio sentences in my face." She said as Grimlock got antsy

"Of course, y/n. Give me an hour." Cade said looking up at her, she gave a small smile in reply

"Take your time, HAI!"

Grimlock trotted off with her in tow as it was their favorite activity, she loved the dinobots to death but Grimlock was her favorite to spend time with as they trotted off to the Cheif's and hung out for awhile before running a perimeter sweep before going back to the junk yard as she jumped off and looked around, Daytrader was no where to be found, Bumblebee sat up on the roof, Hound and Drift were fighting and Crosshairs was just walking about. Cade was inside with a beer in his hand talking to Jimmy.

"Bumblebee." Her hand came up and hit his leg

He looked down and jumped, standing before her.

"You wanted to talk to me?" It was a female voice but she had to grin as he pointed at her "Shut up. It's working."

"I didn't say anything, look I wanted to talk about our next move. It's hell out there and we need the surviving bots."

Crosshairs watched from afar as y/n talked with Bumblebee, he was obviously less than pleased of the conversation. He made unpleasant gestures and even shook his head in disappointment and disapproval in many ways. Whatever it was, Bumblebee either already knew or didn't care. But something about y/n reminded him of Optimus, she didn't care to approach any of them and tell it like it is. But this version was much more attractive in a way.

She finally walked away as he walked over, Bumblebee wandered off.

Crosshairs looked at her from behind as she was turned looking in the other direction "hey, y/n, about earlier.. M sorry."

"Hm? Oh. Hey, Crosshairs." She glanced back at him as he looked over to see she was watching Drift and Hound tussle it up. "Hangout, I'll be back.." She said before walking towards them "GET YOUR AFTS OUTTA HERE WITH THIS PATHETIC TANTRUM SCRAP, GO ON, GET!" She kicked Hound away from Drift "You autta be thankful I don't kick your afts, we're guests here and unless you wanna find yourselves in the scrap yard in pieces you make nice with each other RIGHT NOW!!" She snarled

Crosshair stared with wide optics. She was full business.

Cade watched from the doorway and smiled a little, thankful to have y/n around

The two looked at each other before muttering apologies "Good now get out of here, go recharge. Bed time, all of you!" She growled

"I'm a full grown mech I don't need you-" drift pointed at her as she glared and grabbed his servo, breaking it back

"I didn't ask you, I TOLD YOU. Now get!"

"Yes, ma'am." He muttered before becoming clear away. Hound didn't bother to stick around as he walked away nestling down somewhere.

"Primus, you mech's give me too much scrap all the time."

"I'm so glad we got a girl around to keep them in line then.." Cade smiled

"That reminds me, you should get some sleep as well, Cade, Jimmy, you humans need it more than us."

"Now that you mention it I am a little tired." Jimmy said as he stretched "Night guys."

"Is that an order?" Cade asked challengingly

"A simple suggestion, Cade." She smiled folding her arms "I don't believe it would be wise to boss around the one who gave us a home or put him under so much stress for that matter.."

Cade smiled "You keep them in line better than I ever could. Thanks, y/n. Night." He waved as he walked off to the trailer

She contently sighed to see all of then following the order, even the dinobots had bedded down for the night. All except for one. Crosshairs stood there as she walked over

"You said something earlier.."

"I-er- I mean yeah, it was about earlier.. And now about your new order."

"I should make it a rule.." She softly scoffed "but go on."

"Uh... I wanted to say..."

"Yes?"

"That I may have been wrong earlier and..."

"Mhm?"

"...primus, why is this so difficult?" He grumbled

She cocked an optic ridge "Are you attempting to apologize, Crosshairs?" A slight smirk appeared across her lips as he stumbled over his words

"Err... Somethin' like that.. And there was somethin else I wanted to tell you."

"Well, I want to hear it from you. Say it."

"I.. M sorry.." He muttered as she smirked at him

"And..?"

"I love you."

The smirk was gone as her arms unfolded. "What?"

"You remind me so much of prime but you're so much more attractive, physically and everything you do, you'd probably stalk right up to Megatron and tell him to frag off before walkin away!" He exclaimed

Ears and audio receptors perked

He sighed "As unlikely as it sounds, you're my kind of Cybertronian.. So? Whadda ya say?"

"I say you're fragged in the processor.." She said staring at him "Which makes me just as fragged up as you when I say this could work."

A smirk appeared on his face as he smashed their lips together before staring at her "Perfect."

"But as of right now you're violating my new rule. So either lay your aft down or I'll force you."

He stepped back and sat down, his legs spread "Then I challenge you.." The smirk didn't waver, yet got larger as he heard her cooking fans kick on but she frowned down upon him

"This will never be the appropriate time or place.." She muttered

"I think it's the perfect place and time." He grinned before pulling her down making her fall on top of him

"Crosshairs, no! No!!" She shrieked and scrambled to get away but his firm grasp stayed

"Shut it, you're killing the mood."

"I'm gonna kick your aft, let me go!" She seethed

"Blah,blah, blah..." He mocked as she glared at the behavior before he smashed their lips together as his way of telling her to shut up.

Mini Sequel

~~~~~~~

Cade and a few of the bots heard the ruckus that night as by morning she groaned, sitting up from stasis, she looked around to see Jimmy up and about, Drift balanced on his swords and the baby dinobots bugged him.

She looked over and yelped to see Crosshairs laying there in recharge but sat up and scrambled away in fear of what might of happened last night but checked herself over but nothing seemed wrong but still got up and went around, checking the perimeter with Grimlock at the gates as he stretched out at the sight of her and softly growled a welcome as she rubbed his helm and smiled

"Morning, Grim."

He eyed her, but slightly grunted in reply before she walked off.

When she returned everyone besides Crosshair was awake. Cade chatting with Bumblebee and Hound and Drift just sitting around.

"Hey, y/n.", "morning, y/n." They greeted her

"Boy were you two noisy last night." Hound grunted

"Huh?"

"You were very loud.." Drift said

"Crosshairs was being an aft about the new rule.." She grumbled

"I think you know that's not what we meant.." Hound chuckled

She simply blinked "wait, what?"

"Do you not remember?"

"I.. What are you talking about??" She looked confused

"That is just sad!" Bumblebee cried "you forgot your frag last night?! Dear primus help us all!!" He screamed out as he walked away

"WHAT?! NO WAY!! NOTHING HAPPENED! Swear! We were fighting is all!"

"Mhm, yet you were screaming out Crosshairs name.." Hound said

"He was hurting me! He straddled me into a headlock and I couldn't move-" she stopped and stared off in horror before running off to find Crosshairs.

"Ah, there's the sudden realization." Drift smiled

"Crosshairs! Crosshairs!!" She yelled as she went searching for the place they crashed in as he stood up holding his helm

"Ah.. For primus sake, what, y/n?"

She ran over and tackled him down "DID WE FRAG LAST NIGHT?!" Her optics held terror as he looked up and blinked tiredly

"What?"

"DID.WE.FRAG." She asked more sternly

"No... I mean... Did you want to?" He smirked but she slapped him

"No!"

"Do you want to now..? I got all day." He purred

"You do realize she's going to kill you when she finds out you lied to her right?" Jimmy asked

"oh, definitely." Hound grinned "But it was worth it.."

"NEW RULE!! WHOEVER LIES TO ME GETS THEIR AFTS KICKED!! BEGINNING YESTERDAY!" She yelled as it echoed through the junk yard

"Worth it." Bumblebee said with an approving nod.
