Read and Review

More to Jack than meets the eye

Prologue: Where it begins

As the cold rain poured down upon the asphalt of the long stretch of highway a lone white car could be seen slowly making its way. Upon further examination a young woman with black hair and blue eyes sat behind the wheel, an anguish expression on her face. As tears fell from the woman's eyes she lifted a hand to wipe away the wetness sniffling a bit.

It was as the woman brought her hand back down to grasp the steering wheel of her car that she looked into her rearview mirror. Looking into the mirror the woman saw the cause of her distress or at least a reminder of it.

In the backseat sitting innocently was a brown box. Next to it sat a baby car seat and hanging out of the brown box was a blue blanket with a bunny pattern.

The woman suddenly brought her hand to her mouth as she tried to muffle another sob. She then slowed down her car and pulled over to the side of the road. As she did so the weather started to clear up and the rain stopped. Parking the car the woman looked out her side window, refusing to look into the rearview mirror and in extension the backseat.

The woman continued to sob into her hands calling out a muffled "Jack…oh Jack."

Unaware to the woman a large object had appeared in the sky and as it fell it passed over the roof of the woman's car, causing the vehicle and its surroundings to shake.

The shaking caused the woman to look up startled as she saw what looked to be some kind of aircraft that had flown overhead. As the woman continued to watch the aircraft veer down and crashed.

The crashing of the aircraft whipped up a cloud of dirt.

The woman held on tightly to her steering wheel and stepped on the brake as her car shook.

As the shacking stopped and the dirt settled the woman took a few deep breaths.

Shaking the woman removed her hands from the steering wheel and turned the key to start the cars engine. And then paused.

The aircraft from what the woman had seen looked high tech,, in fact she had never seen a plane like it before. The woman wondered if there were even any airports or military bases around this area.

Shaking her head the woman tried to focus. It wasn't important if there was an airport or something around. What was important was that an aircraft had just crashed landed, that meant that people could be hurt.

Shaking her head and making up her mind the woman put her car into drive and headed in the direction of the fallen aircraft.

As she continued to drive the woman began to see debris from what must have been the fallen aircraft. While making the drive more difficult it also made finding the plane easier.

Finally seeing the aircraft not to far ahead the woman stopped her car and stared in awe at the object.

She had never seen such an aircraft before and as she stared at it she began to wonder if it was even a plane.

"Maybe a space shuttle?" The woman wondered out loud.

The woman paused, her hands tightening on the wheel. She shouldn't be here. Something this big that had caused this much damage must have gotten a lot of attention. Somebody would be by soon, someone who would be more knowledgeable and experienced to handle the situation.

But those people weren't here right now and she was. There could be people here that needed help.

Making up here mind the woman opened her door and exited her car. Leaving the headlights on to give her more light to see her surroundings, the woman walked over to her trunk and opened it. Pulling out a standard first aid kit and a flashlight the woman made her way over to the craft.

Carefully making her way over debris and rock the woman reached the craft and walked around it until she found a large gaping hole.

"Hel…"clearing her thought the woman called out again, "hello can anyone hear me. Um is anyone hurt?"

The woman waited a few seconds and only heard silence. She then stepped forward and paused, the inside of the ship was pitched black shaking her head the woman lifted her flashlight and shone it into the craft. She then started to make her way inside

As she entered the ship she once again called out hello

Making her way inside being careful of looked to be wires on the floor the woman suddenly saw a few flashes light. In the next moment the inside of the ship lit up.

"Wow!" The woman said as she stared around at her surrounding noticing how high the ceiling was. "There sure is plenty of room in here."

"Is this maybe a storage area?" The woman wondered.

"Maybe I should…" The woman started to say not watching where she was going and tripping over a large cable on the floor.

Falling to the floor the woman cried out in surprise dropping both her flashlight and the first aid kit.

Getting up the woman dusted herself off and checked herself for injuries. Finding none she began looking for what she had dropped. Finding her first aid kit not to far away she reached down and picked it up. As she looked for her flashlight the woman eventually found it laying next to what looked like a large container of some sort.

Walking over the woman sighed and reached down for her flashlight. As she did so she steadied herself by putting one of her hands on the container only to quickly pull away as she felt a prick to her palm and an electric shock

"Ow?!" The woman called out in pain and shock as she stared down at her hand. Looking back over to the container the woman watched in surprise as the area where her hand had been started to glow. From the area several blue electrical lines appeared and started to spread along the container.

The woman started to step backwards as she watched the container expand. The woman then turned around and ran jumping over what appeared to be several metal slabs that where bolted to the ground.

The woman then looked back over to the container and watched in shock as it started to shrink into itself.

In a flash of light that temporarily blinded the woman, the container disappeared all together. As the woman's sight returned she stared back over at where the container had been.

It was as she stayed behind her hiding place that she heard it, a familiar cry. Startled and a bit curious the woman made her way out of her hiding place and over to where the container had been. Ignoring her flashlight the woman noticed something on the floor and froze as it moved. The thing on the floor gave out a wail and woman found herself running over to the small bundle.

Letting out a gasp the woman found herself looking at a baby, a baby that couldn't be more than a few months old. The infant gave out another cry and the woman reach down and picked him up.

She stared down at the baby in her arms, shocked as she took in the baby's big blue eyes and black hair.

"Oh Jack…" The woman happily whispered as she brought the infant to her chest in a gentle hug.

As the infant started to fuss the woman picked up her first aid kit then headed over to her flashlight. Reaching down while being careful of the child in her arms the woman grabbed her flashlight and made her way out of the aircraft.

"There there Jack," the woman said, "mommy's here now…"

16 years later

The apartment buildings were dimly lit allowing for both those who had already turned in to sleep comfortably and those who were just finally getting home to see the path in front of them.

A boy with black hair and blue eyes carefully made his way, making sure to steer clear of the path and instead stay hidden in the shadows. As the boy made it to one of the apartment complexes he quickly removed his shoes and carefully made his way up the stairs in front of him. As he reached the third floor he crept over to the closest door and carefully removed a pair of keys from his back pocket. Bracing the door and squeezing his eye shut in a silent pray the boy inserted his key into the lock and slowly turned.

With the door now unlocked the boy took in the dark room in front of him. He then slowly made his way inside being extra careful not to make a sound. Tiptoeing into the room the boy gave a sigh of relief as he saw a clear path to the stairs.

As he made his way to the stairs he froze as the lights in the living room suddenly flickered on and a feminine voice from behind the boy called out.

"Why hello Jack…" The voice called out.

Slowly turning Jack came face to face with a woman with the same black hair and blue eyes as his.

"H…ey…mom." Jack stuttered out. "I thought you were already asleep."

"Getting home a little late now aren't you?" June asked.

"Ah yeah…you remember I said I had that big history test on Monday?" Jack began explaining, "I called earlier and said I was going to be studying at the library until late…"

"Mmhm, is that so?" June questioned.

"Well yeah, what else would I be doing?" Jack asked with a laugh.

"Good question I'd like to know that too." June said.

Gulping Jack nervously asked, "what do you mean?"

"Well, it's the funniest." June began explaining, "I actually called the library earlier and they said they hadn't seen anyone matching your description all day."

"Oh well I was in the back…" Jack explained.

"The back?" June dully asked.

"Yeah!" Jack exclaimed, "it's nice and quite and no one usually goes back there."

As Jack continued to explain June lifted the remote control in her hand and pointed it at the T.V. Turning the T.V a black and blue Bugatti Veyron could be seen tearing down the high way.

"Oh no…." Jack groaned.

"Oh yes!" June scolded, "I can't believe you would do this again!"

I didn't think…" Jack started to say.

"Of course you weren't thinking!" June interrupted.

Jack fell silent and looked down at the floor in shame.

June sighed and said, "We talked about this Jack. It's dangerous you could get hurt someone else could get hurt. It isn't safe."

"I know…it's just…" Jack said.

"No, I really don't think you understand…" June turned her head and closed her eyes in frustration.

"I'm sorry mom, it…it wont happen again," Jack apologized.

"I would hope," June said. She then picked up an empty box in the living room and handed it to Jack.

"What's this for?" Jack asked as he took the box.

"For your stuff." June answered.

"Oh" Jack said, then exclaimed "wait?!what? Don't tell me your kicking me out."

June gave her son a disbelieving look and said, "Of course not." June then explained, "its for moving."

"Moving?!" Jack asked in shock.

"That's right. I've gotten a job at a hospital in Jasper Nevada." June stated.

"Jasper… Nevada?" Jack questioned.

"That's what I said." June said.

"But… but all my friends are here." Jack argued.

"You'll make new friends." June stated.

"And school?" Jack asked.

"I heard they have a very nice high school there." June happily said.

"Its in the middle of nowhere!" Jack cried out.

"Then maybe it will be a bit of an incentive for you not to do things like that…" June finished saying as she pointed to the T.V with the scene of the black and blue Bugatti Veyron speeding down the highway.

June then began walking away.

"Oh man…" Jack mumbled as he looked down at the box in his hands.

June suddenly paused and then said, "oh yeah your grounded."

"Oh come on!" Jack exclaimed, "isn't moving punishment enough?!"

June gave Jack the look and then picked up a box in the kitchen area and started packing.

Read and Review

authors note: this fic is not connected to my other fic 'what a knockout'. I've had the idea for this fic for sometime but never got around to writing it.

Currently there are no pairings for this fic. Transformers relationships are different depending on which universe(what continuity) its from. This fic will be filled with family and friendship feels. If I decide to put pairings in later I'll let you readers know.

…

Special voting round!

I want to eventually introduce a special power or ability. Down below are some options I'm thinking about. I don't want to make him to powerful. So some abilities are only useful in certain conditions or they are very taxing when used. So they can't be used often.

What should Jacks special ability or weapon be (he'll eventually be able to use the basic gun and blade that almost all Autobots and Decepticons have.).

So please pick one that looks the most interesting or entertaining.

Shield's: when in his bi pedaled mode Jack has this flowing light stuff (it looks like cloth almost) that hangs on his body or around him that can be used as a powerful shield. He can also create a shield around a person, object or bot, it can then be used to throw/move them away. Sorta like telekinesis but not really. You just envelope the target in a shield and move them.

Super speed: able to drive and run extremely fast. Downside has trouble stopping.

Sight of primus: when Jack looks at a bot with his cybertronian optics he can see that bots true self and intentions. Probably some powerful sensors to go with it. So he can sense if a bot is nearby. Downside, using it can be taxing, as such Jack may have to keep his optics closed for most of the time.

Time: Jack can monetarily stop time. He can also slow it down or speed it up.

Spark healer: like the name implies (and will be changed to something cooler) Jack can touch the spark of another bot and heal it. And other super healing abilities.

The word of primus: Jack can speak to Primus. Who happens to know lots of things, most of which isn't useful.

Super strength: able to lift, throw, carry and hit something with means far beyond a normal Cybertronians abilities.

Also does anybody want cliffjumper to survive? I can go either way. I sort of want to keep him alive.
