I do not own Transformers.
There were too many times that should of set, Remote up with what she was encountering right now. Being just the youngest of her sisters at just 16, and being what you may call a Doogie Howser, at her age, along with one of her triplets, Tina. Since a child, their family has had to learn every facet of defending yourself against a threat, which mostly was from a family that was jealous of their attention, and always killed the oldest child to the oldest child because they were a threat to them. Reason for the oldest child is because for some unidentifiable reason, the oldest child had a high i.q, whereas whenever they had a child, that oldest child had one. Any other child born in that family was of passable intelligence. Not stupid, just very passable, that might elect you to pass up several grades. If you are lucky. But in their family, all five daughters had very high intelligence, so really a school wasn't at all necessary, except for Tina and Remote who wanted to be doctors.
Alesha, was the oldest, and an expert on psychics .
Kathy, was second oldest, and Alesha's twin, with an expertise in computers, robotics, and biomechanics.
Susan, third and middle child, she was also the oldest of the triplets. She also had a little bit more of a minor in computers compared to Kathy.
Tina, fourth child, and part of the triplets, as previously mentioned, she was a doctor who specialized in everything.
Remote, last of the triplets, always felt like a runt, even though she was the same size as Tina at 5'4", she was a doctor and a surgeon.
So much of a hectic lifestyle for them, along with now giant ass robots from outer space. Her family oftened wondered if Kathy already knew about it long ago in order to make Bob. A Lamborghini that transformed into a robot as well. Bob was a secret to the public for a long time before the cat came out of the bag, when he had to transform in a middle of a conference to shoot at Decepticons. Their father bought Bob who was a regular car for Kathy when she was young to stop her from building a computer in the bottom den, but it didn't, so now they have Bob, and a room affectionately called the Clutter room with the wall to wall computers.
They met the Autobots a couple of years ago after they helped them during battle. Yes, their cars were retrofitted long ago so they can protect themselves from an onslaught. Of course then they thought it would only be humans. Remote drove a Hummer and sometimes piloted a jet. It took a lot of talking into to convince her father to allow her to not only get flight lessons, but it was a bigger talking in order for her to get a jet of her own. The family had more money, then normal people can even calculate. It was annoying, but it isn't like they were dipping into the family bank to fund stuff, they had their own money, and they dipped into that half the time.
Kathy, who is 18, got involved with Sideswipe when she met him at 17, and a year later they became spark mates. Alesha in turn got involved with, Ratchet, and though they talk about it, Alesha is nervous about taking a bigger step due to the families curse. Prowl and Susan always flirt, but nothing more at this moment since she is still a Sparkling (Minor), but to see Prowl barely concealing his emotions was something a lot of the Autobots enjoyed seeing, especially Prime. She had no clue about, Tina, because, Sunstreaker always flirted with her, but Tina acted like she wanted none of that. Remote didn't have no feelings of any others in that way, because no one striked her interest, and ever since growing up with a rare medical condition since birth she decided to forever never to pursue anything of the such.
Shaking her head momentarily from her reverie, she aimed her gun in the sky. She currently was alone in the desert taking samples, so as she was perched high on top one of the rocky little mountain, she spotted one of the Seekers approaching. She saw a glint of blue, but not much more because of the annoying sun in her eye. There was a couple of shots that were fired from the Seeker, but they were mostly warning shots. So she raised her gun in the sky and took aim hitting it directly. What? He couldn't see her gun? Or did he think she wouldn't fire? Or possibly her aim would be bad. Whatever it might be, the Seeker transformed and hit the ground hard sliding over near her. Dirt flew up and blinded, Remote a few seconds, but when she was able to see, she found it was the Seeker called, Thundercracker in front of her spouting off curses in Cybertronian. Finding he couldn't move though, he surprised her by not whining about things like, Starscream or Skywarp, but in his stoic manner he seemed to try to experiment moving and immediately finding he couldn't, he looked up at her shocked.
"Hey! What did you shoot me with?" He inquired, as he scanned the small female above him. He recognized her designation to be the one called, Remote.
"Our version of, Wheeljack's Immobilizer. The effects are temporary, and in 30 minutes you will be up in no time." Remote answered calmly coming down further to get closer. Some of the Autobots seemed to realize that Thundercracker was different then the others. The only one that didn't like to shoot at humans. Well he shot near them, like he did to her as a warning, but never at them. "If you were Starscream or the others, I would of shot you again, because frankly they are annoying buggers."
"So you aren't afraid of me I take it." He surmised with what she just said. Her reddish black hair seem to be on fire with the sun hitting it, and he saw what might be called a mischievous little sparkle in her emerald eyes.
Shrugging, Remote moved closer to his head, "Well I am not stupid, but still you do get the minimal setting compared to others." Putting the gun back into its holster, she reached down to her pack and lifted it up. "I just need to take some samples of the standing water over there, because apparently some patients believe all water is good for them."
Noting her sarcasm, he watched as she walked past him, and he had to smirk at it. "You sound like a certain mech."
Not bothering to look back, she just continued to the little area of water, and shrugged again. "I guess I do sound like Ratchet, but unlike him, I don't toss wrenches at patients." Settling her bag down, she unzipped it and pulled out various vials, then fitted a couple of plastic gloves on her. "Although I wish I can sometimes."
"Huh, I often wish I can do that with Starscream." Thundercracker said. He hated to be immobilized, but if he was going to be stuck there for a while he might as well make the best of it. "He is a pain in the aft."
Taking a few samples, she lined up the vials and dropped different solutions into each, and watched them as she took in his tone of voice. "Funny he is second in command. Yes, true he can be ruthless, but he is so over emotional about so much. Did he interface his way to the top?"
Thundercracker tried to test if he can send a broadcast to the Nemesis, but the immobilizer knocked out all ways of communications. He would of had an attitude otherwise, but in the short amount of time with her, he liked how she carried herself. Her tone of voice surmising how Starscream became second in command had a gentle tone about it, but he heard a veiled sarcasm there. "Ha! He does sound like a shrill woman. I understand you presuming that. He was a scientist before, and I guess Megatron likes how savage he fights."
Remote spared a glance, Thundercrackers way, and smiled. "I really want to say something more crude about him, but that would just have to wait."
Thundercracker suddenly curious about what she was doing decided to ask her. With him having to wait a while before he can move fully, and liking how she was, he just had to know things. "What exactly are you doing? You mentioned a patient. I understand you are a doctor at such a young age, and that is quite an accomplishment."
Looking up from her vials, she looked over at him fully, and stood up to walk over to grab a snake from trying to slither into his chassis, and put it a safe away distance between her and him. "Well a patient decided to drink some water in this sector of the desert thinking that all water has to be alike. I'm so glad he never paid attention in Science, Biology, and Ecology, to know that not all water is safe. I have a few vials that are working out the exact cause of what is ailing him. I have two that are showing nothing, while one vial seems confused. This heat is knocking them for a loop."
He tried to look at her, but being unable to move his head, he felt something go into his chassis, heard her walk up, and the thing was pulled out of him, her walking away, and coming back. It was a bit frustrating to say the least. "Why not bring it back so as not to destroy the testing?"
"I'd love to, but I won't right now. I can do on site testings, and nothing is amiss about them, but I won't right now."
"Why?"
Smiling then suddenly blushing, she replied, "I won't leave you alone knowing that snakes want to slither up inside of you."
"Why care?"
"You may be a Decepticon, but from what I've seen so far, you aren't a complete asshole." Turning around she went back to her vials. Crouching down, she went to retrieve more water, and placed more chemicals in each vial. There were some bug in the only vial left from the previous experiment, but that bug never harmed any human beings. Taking out a small laptop she started typing in the information.
Thundercracker remained silent in his thoughts, but listened to her typing, then water sloshing, more typing, and then he heard her start to sing softly to herself. It was such a sweet melodious voice that he felt hypnotized. Feeling something suddenly on his left side farthest away from him, he cursed again because he was so helpless, that he had to speak up. "There is something on my left side trying to get in."
Standing up quickly, and walking over to his left side, she saw a scorpion, and a snake trying to get in. "My my they really want your body." Remote humored, as she snatched up the scorpion, and quickly ran away with it in her hands, then she scurried back to grab the remaining part of the snakes tail, and realized it was a rattler. Taking it out, and worried about getting bitten, she threw it as far away as she could, then examined around him if there were any other critters wanting him. "Ugh I hate rattlers! Thank goodness it wasn't a baby one."
"They are more poisonis?"
"Yes."
"Obviously more deadly."
"Yes."
"Glad you didn't get bitten then." He said, and looked at her face since she was now on the rocks again. She actually had a cute smile.
"Let me know if you feel anything else crawling in on this side." Remote said, and quickly went back to her study. She grinned at what she saw, and quickly had to enter the results in to see if it would promise her patient much needed help. The computer was specially programmed to be a test subject instead of harming a real human. It had the patients DNA, and every pertinent information to be able to study the best possible treatment.
Thundercracker closed his optics off, and just thought about things. He thought about Cybertron. The Decepticons order. The Autobots. The humans as well. The vast majority of the Decepticons never bothered to look into human culture on the whole quickly dismissing them as stupid inferior creatures that need to be destroyed. Thundercracker saw with some humans, and mostly these sisters, that they were this young species that are still progressing in their ways with most doing their best. These sisters just went beyond normal expectations though with their high intelligence. Also what they drove, and what Kathy accomplished by building a robot of her own that matched their own structures exactly. Remote was a mystery in a way. True they knew her career, but did she drive any of the vehicles that helped the Autobots against them? She was bold he can tell that. As he kept pondering things, he went back to comparing her to the femmes he came in contact with. Some femmes bred for battle. Some for liaison political purposes. Some for pleasure, even though the other two also had pleasure. Skywarp and Starscream always partaken in that always, but himself, as he did interface occasionally when the need striked. He never met one he ever wanted to bond with. Remote was actually sweet, as far as he can tell, as well as intelligent, and bold. Her sense of humor was casual, but seemed very healthy. He stopped pondering when he heard her voice.
"Hi, Tina. Yes, I got the results that are much needed, and I'm sending them right now." Pause, then he swore he could hear her smiling. "You, got it! Excellent. No I didn't run into any problems. Uh huh. Yes, I will be back in a while." Thundercracker thought it interesting she didn't mention him. "Alright, I love you. Bye" Her phone clicking off, she bent down to pack up the vials, protecting the test product. Along with the computer. Picking up another vial, she poured liquid in it insuring it would clean up the water. Slinging the pack over her shoulder, she walked back over to Thundercracker, and went back up to the rocks after noticing no more creatures were trying to go in him. "Well we have 10 minutes at least, and then you can get the heck out of here."
"Won't be soon enough." He grumbled. "Why didn't you say anything about me over the phone?"
Remote shrugged. "No reason. I just think you won't hurt me, because if you wanted to you would actually aimed at me instead of around me."
"I could of still grabbed you if I wanted to. You think about that?" Seeing her non phased expression. "Ugh why would I want to do that anyhow? I don't even care if I was ordered to."
Putting her finger to the tip of her nose, she laughed. "Yes, that is why I am not nervous around you. I should be, true, but I'm not. In fact I am not even scared of death."
The way she said that, he knew she was serious. Raising his ridge, he looked at her deadly serious face. "Not even a little?"
"Well my mom was poisoned while pregnant with Susan, Tina, and myself. My mom went into labor with the stress, and Tina, and Susan got out just fine. Myself, I died while still inside my mother, but was pushed out. While my father concentrated on reviving me, my sisters were trying in vain to help my mother. I was revived, and I remember my mom's first and only words, 'Hello my remote one, I love you, and no matter what you are strong like your sisters. I'll be with you always.' My mother passed after that last word was uttered to me." Closing her eyes to compose herself, she then continued. "I have a rare health condition where it makes it impossible to eat anything at all. I've been in surgery for it. I've escaped death many times. I know it will be impossible for me to give birth to my own child." Opening her eyes, she looked at him straight on. "The only thing that scares me is losing my family, other then that, I face my own dilemma head on. So you see, I'm not scared of death. That is inevitable."
"Why not leave me then?"
"I will in one minute, but right now, I'm seeing nothing else tries to crawl inside of you."
"How did you get here? I didn't see a vehicle." He inquired.
Remote fixed him with a mischievous look as she started to move down the little rocky hill. "Oh it is right past this rock, hiding under plain sight."
"Well I know I will be seeing you again." Thundercracker stated noticing that he can turn his head now, but not anything else at the moment. Remote winked at him, and smiled, but not a word was said, because she said enough. She disappeared from his line of sight. Soon his hands started to move more, and while he was sensing other body parts moving, he stopped when he heard a jet engine gearing up. She flies? Feeling his spark start to pulsate harder, he saw a nose to a jet plane come into sight. This was the plane Megatron demanded to know who was piloting. Remote saluted to him, and positioned the plane to take off. As the engine started to build up, the jet started to roll, as the speed increased, the wheels started to leave the ground, and soon she was up in the air. Turning the plane around, she went over him, and soon disappeared. Finding his body with full mobility he quickly got up and the plane was not just a speck in the sky. Impressed, he decided to not report who the pilot was, and soon he was up in the air, and flying back to the Nemesis.
