My fans whirred loudly as I collapsed in the forest, my optics dimmed as I vented heavily. Humans were hunting me. Mostly because I was a mechanical wolf but you know, who cares that it has feelings? They didn't. They were hunters. My optics flickered as I sighed "Not now.. please. I can't got offline.." I whimpered to myself but lightly jerked up at the sound of a groundbridge and the swirling colors not too distant from me, I seen 3 mechs come through, 1 was orange and white, another was green and the other was red and blue. I laid there with a whine

"There."

"Please.. Humans.. hunting." I whined as I glanced away from them trying to move as my optics flickered again, threatening to shut my systems down

"We mean you no harm. Ratchet.." the red and blue mech looked at the orange and white one as he crouched down

"Their systems are crashing.. I'll need to bring them back to base."

I shifted back pushing myself up against the tree as I growled "Don't touch me-" I uttered before going offline, my systems failed and when I woke up my optics dimmed before brightening.

I laid on a berth, the orange and white bot stood there by my side as he rewired a few of my wires

I glared as I reached up and grabbed his wrist joint as he jerked up with an audiable gasp

"Who are you? Where am i?" I growled as I sat up, not letting of the bot go as he stood there looking at me

"Please, you are safe.." the red and blue bot walked over

I looked at him and frowned "I'll ask again.. who are you and where am i?"

"I am optimus prime, leader of the autobots and that is Ratchet, our medic. You are safe in our base."

"Autobots?" I frowned and looked at the medic before releasing him and climbed off the berth and looked at Optimus before transforming to my bipedal form, my tail curled around my leg as my ears stood perked as I looked at him, my f/c armor was dented and energon stained it, I knew it was a bad presentation

"I'm y/n. A rogue.." I said "i appreciate the assist but I must get going."

The medic behind me scoffed "really? And where do you have to be that's so important?"

I glanced at him and frowned "Anywhere but here, I don't affiliate myself with either side and quite frankly, I could care less about your stupid war. I don't want any part of it."

Ratchet rolled his optics "Well you're not going anywhere because I need to keep you, your wounds aren't healed and you still have severe damage."

"And what makes you think I'm staying here?"

"Well I have a prod if you would like me to use it.."

"Just because I'm a cyber wolf doesn't mean it gives you any right to treat me like an animal!"

"If you behave like one I'll treat you like one and quite frankly you're being irrational." He said folding his arms

I glared at him but made a bolt for the door only to meet a large bulky green mech as he knocked me flat on my back

"BULKHEAD, I NEEDED THAT!" Was his first instinct to shout as I looked up at him with a growl

"Need me, medic?"

His face darkened as I smirked at him "That's not what I meant, it's just something I say so often-"

"Need me?"

He frowned "I think we're getting off subject here.."

"But no, you need me? Know what I might just stick around after all.." I smirked at him as he inwardly groaned before walking away

Every day for the next 5 days every once in a while I asked him "Need me still?"

His response would be to growl and then tell me "that's not what I meant!"
