paradox

or, the chapter with sam's pov

Mikeala Banes never gave you the time of day but you always felt as if she knew you. Somehow, you knew that she was destined for you and you were destined for her. There was no if and or buts about it and you went after her.

You were surprised when she reciprocated, took your hand, and got into Bumblebee.

Now, as she jerks and seizes, wires and metal beneath her pretty skin, you feel sick.

You don't know what's going on. You've had multiple meltdowns in the past few days, and now, Mikeala isn't Mikeala and you aren't you.

(you have become the AllSpark, Sam)

You're God and you're not. You're history book and you're also a force of nature.

It frightens you more than a Deception, more than the scary thought that Mikeala may not make it. She hasn't moved in days.

Meanwhile, the tattoos cover your body, twisting, turning, collapsing.

"You knew she was a Pretender?"

(bumblebee and mikeala fight, over eonsvorns, flitting from side to side)

You feel choked and betrayed.

(they argue as you sleep before finally finally deciding: they won't leave you)

And then you feel warm and loved and all you can do is scream in anger and frustration.

Finally, on the seventh day, as the television flickers and you have to resist bringing it to life with all of your Children(they are your children now), she wakes with a whirr-click that you never heard before.

She looks afraid and relieved as you run your fingers over her face, pull her hair away to reveal her blue eyes(optics).

"Sam," and her brows knit together, "Sam, what happened to you?"
