-Story Start-
"Luka...Luka..." a voice called out. The assassin said nothing as she continued to stand there. "Hey Luka!" That finally caught her attention. She turned to see Zack and Suri standing behind her with grins plastered on their faces.
"Don't be spacing out on us now!" Suri giggled and chided. The young woman continued to remain silent as she looked down at the children. "Come on, we're going out!"
"Uncle said that we can go out to play," Zack grinned and reached over, taking the nanny's hand in his. "Let's not keep Bee and Sides waiting any longer!"
"...Why exactly do we need to take the two of them?" the silent nanny finally spoke up as she let the children take her into the hangar. They were just going to the park right? Why would they need two cars anyways? One would be sufficient enough.
"You know how they are," Suri giggled as she skipped besides the young woman. "Those two can't sit still very long and if one of them gets to go, the other will whine and complain to follow."
Luka almost rolled her eyes, almost. It's hard to believe that the mechs who were probably thousands of years old acted like teenage boys. The kids led the nanny to the hangar where she saw the two blond holoforms lean against their alt forms, waiting. Bee's head perked up as soon as he saw the children whereas Sideswipe grinned to see the nanny herself. Luka inwardly sighed. He never does learn does her?
"About time you showed up babe, thought that you weren't going to make it," Sideswipe winked and flashed her a toothy grin as Luka showed no response.
"..." Luka said nothing as she gave the platinum blond a dead look.
"Sheesh, harsh as ever aren't you?"
"Okay guys, we can either go to the park or go to the beach!" Zack waved his arms around in hopes to adults' attention.
"But the beach is going to be hot..." Suri pouted. "There's going to be a lot of people..." Luka cringed at the thought of crowds of people who are half nude.
"Beach babes!" Sideswipe smirked and twirled his keys around. "Let's go!"
"Hold on Sideswipe," Bumblee scowled and crossed his arms. "You can't just decide on your own, it's up to the children remember?"
"Stop being a spoil sport Bee," the other sighed and crossed his arms. "It'll be nice to step out, enjoy the air, sun tan—"
"And show off your alt form?" Bee finished, raising an eyebrow at Sideswipe.
"And show off my alt form," Sideswipe repeated with a grin on his face.
"Sfacciato biondo," Luka muttered under her breath as she watched the two blonds banter back and forth. At this rate, they were never going to go anywhere. But then again, Luka didn't mind. It would just mean less work for her on her part.
"You guys!" Suri stomped her foot on the ground. Her arms were crossed as her lips were fulled into a pout. "Let's just decide to go somewhere already!"
"Okay, who wants to go to the beach?" Zack asked as he and Sideswipe raised their hands. "And the park?" As expected, Suri and Bee raised their hands. All of a sudden, Luka felt their eyes on her.
"...che cosa?" she raised an eyebrow at them.
"You didn't vote," Sideswipe grinned.
"Come on Luka, we're at a stalemate here," Zack huffed. "It's a tie, two and two!"
"...Then I propose that we stay here," Luka closed her eyes and sighed through her nose to hear the children groan.
"But Lukaaaaa~" they whined and pouted. "It's boring at the base!"
"...Then flip a coin," she murmured. She reached into the breast pocket of her blazer and pulled out a quarter. "Heads for the beach and tails for the park." Secretly, the assassin preferred the park simply because her attire would not blend in at the beach. She also did not want to change into beach attire. No bikinis, no bathing suits, nothing. She would rather stay in her current uniform.
"Alright, sounds fair enough," Sideswipe nodded while Bee just waited for the nanny to flip the coin. With that being said, Luka flipped the coin and caught it, placing it on top of her hand before moving her hand away. It was tails.
"Yay!" Suri giggled while Zack and Sideswipe looked defeated.
"Relax Sideswipe, you can show off at the park as well," Bee rolled his eyes at Sideswipe's dejected look.
"But it's not the same Bee!" the platinum blond sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He leaned back against the Corvette and looked at the girls. "But fair is fair, let's go."
Bumblebee only laughed softly as he unhooked the keys from his belt loop and unlocked the car. As soon as he got into the driver's seat, the back door opened for Suri to get in. The little girl giggled and climbed inside as the door shut behind her. Sideswipe climbed inside the Corvette as Zack climbed into the back. Luka dreaded at what was going to happen next.
"You coming in?" the blonds said in unison as Luka's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. For some reason, this always happens whenever the kids wanted to go out with the two and it was starting to get on her nerves.
"Stiamo seriamente intenzione di passare attraverso questo nuovo?" she looked at the two of them. Bee gave a sheepishly, boyish grin while Sideswipe only winked.
"Why not?" Sideswipe teased. Luka only grumbled as she walked towards the Camaro. "Aww come on babe, you always pick him! Is he your favorite? I sense favoritism."
"I simply don't want to hear you talk," the assassin snorted as she climbed into the passenger seat.
"Ouch, right in the spark."
"Just drive Sideswipe," Zack laughed at the platinum blond.
After closing the door and buckling the seatbelt in, Luka leaned back against the leather seat and looked out the window as Bee started the car. Once they pulled out of the hangar and hit the road, Bee turned on the radio for Suri so the little girl was at least entertained and not swallowed by the awkward silence. Behind the Camaro was the silver Corvette following them.
"You sure you don't want sunglasses Luka?" Bee broke Luka's stare from the window. The nanny turned her head to see Bee looking at her from the corner of his eye. He gave her a small smile as he pointed at the glove compartment. "I think Sam or Mikaela left a pair inside. You're free to wear them if you'd like."
"I'm fine," came her short and simple answer. The car was swallowed with awkward tension once again. Despite using his holoform, Bumblebee couldn't help, but feel awkward from the assassin. Surely he should be used to her by now, but she was just so... anti-social that it was hard for him to start of a comversion. Every time he tried to start up a light and easy conversation with her, she would give short answers, thus ending the conversation.
The Camaro slowed down due to the traffic in the highway. The golden blond only snickered inwardly, picturing Sideswipe's expression at the traffic. He knew that silver mech liked speeding therefore traffic was his second or third enemy other than deceptacons and Ironhide when he gets caught in his pranks.
"I didn't think that there would be traffic," Suri blinked as she looked out the windows, watching the cars around them move up slowly.
"It's probably vacation time as Sam called it," Bee hummed as he slouched forward, folding his arms on the steering wheel and resting his chin in his arms. "Sam did say that when people travel, traffic is bound to increase."
"Boo...traffic," Suri sighed as she slumped back in the leather seats. Bee laughed quietly at the young girl. The Camaro continued to move slowly forward until the radio began crackling and soon the group of three were able to hear Sideswipe and Zack.
"This traffic sucks!" Zack groaned as Suri giggled to hear her brother.
"How's it holding up in your end Bee?" Sideswipe chimed in while Luka rolled her eyes.
"We're just moving slowly," Bee replied as he rested his chin in his arms. "Slowly as we go..."
"I can't deal with this speed any longer..." the other groaned on the other end. "My alt form is made for speed! Not this...slow moving traffic."
"Deal with it Sideswipe," Bee rolled his eyes.
Luka silently sat there, listening to the two blonds banter back and forth with each other. She listened to Suri's soft humming as the nanny continued to look outside. Apparently Bee and Sideswipe were arguing whether or not to swerve out of the road to get to their destination. The holoform of the Camaro refused to do such thing since the action would only get them in trouble and it would attract attention. Not to mention that he was also carrying a child and another person. The owner of the Corvette though on the other hand, thought that it would be fine and that they wouldn't be wasting anymore time by sitting through with the traffic.
One would be amazed how Luka could sit through all of this. They were definitely testing her patience as her other operatives would have killed them already if they were ever this talkative during a mission. The assassin only closed her eyes and breathed through her nose, attempting to block out all the noise. She would be lying to herself if she said that she wasn't annoyed. She wasn't used to sitting through this much noise where one person is talking on one side and another person talking on the other. Then she also has to sit through the background noise such as Suri's singing, Zack groaning and complaints from the radio, the cars honking and beeping on the outside, as well as motorcycles zooming by them.
"Aww come on Bee! Just do it discretely!"
"How can one be discrete when we're stuck in traffic in the middle lanes?"
"Lalalala~"
"Can we pleaaasseeee just hurry up~?"
"...Basta!" Luka barked, opening her eyes to narrow them at the driver. Bumblebee yelped slightly and jolted at her sharp tone, whacking his head against the steering wheel. Sideswipe quietly toned down from the radio. He was somewhat glad that the woman was not witting in him with Zack; he was starting to feel slightly sorry for Bee.
"Erm..." Bee coughed sheepishly, giving her an impish smile. "Sorry."
"Hn..." Luka made a small sound of annoyance before turning her head to look out the window once again. The car was enveloped with silence and tension again minus the quiet music playing on the radio for Suri.
The blond driver continued to drive slowly through the traffic as he glanced at the nanny. The Camaro shifted a bit slightly as they drove, feeling slightly uneasy because of the silence. When it was Sam or Mikaela, there was no awkward silence or tension, but with Luka, it was just that. Bumblebee's holoform sighed through his nose and ran a hand through his black-tipped hair. The car beside the Camaro had a female driver and for some odd reason (or call it perfect/coincedental timing) she turned and saw the driver. Her jaw dropped at the sight of the good looking man and it was such a shame that they were not at the mall or park because she would have seriously asked him out on a date.
"Hey Bee, that lady's looking at you," Suri giggled and pointed. Bee glanced to the side from the corner of his eye and gave a wry smile at the girl in the backseat.
"Yeah, I noticed," he chuckled softly. "Unfortunately for her, I'm not interested. But maybe Sideswipe is."
"Leave it to Sideswipe~" Suri giggled as she sat patiently in the back as they went through traffic. Then she glanced at her nanny in the passenger seat. There was nothing interesting outside to look at so she wasn't sure why Luka kept looking out the window. Did she not like to look at Bumblebee?
Her nanny sat there and looked out the window as if there was something interesting outside to look at. But as far as Suri was concerned, what was so interesting about dirt, road, rocks, and more cars? Not once had she seen Luka turn her head and look forward or to look at Bee. Or perhaps she was just day dreaming? Nah, Luka didn't seem like the type to daydream. Even Suri knew how serious Luka was and how she took things very seriously. She even wondered if the nanny knew how to have fun?
"C'è qualcosa che avete bisogno di Suri?" Suri snapped her head up and looked around. When she looked up, she saw Bee's head turned to look at her before motioning a hand to Luka.
"H-Huh?" the young girl asked and blinked. Luka was calling out to her?
"...Is there something you need?" her quiet nanny repeated, only this time in English. "...You've been staring at the back of my head for some time now."
"Oh!" she gasped and blushed lightly. She was caught staring at her nanny! "I-It's nothing Luka, don't worry about it. I was just thinking, that's all." She watched her her nanny turn her head and look at her before nodding her head and went back to look out the window. Well that was embarrassing...
"There's no need to think too much when you're this young Suri," Bee teased as he gave her a teasing grin before snickering. "It'll hurt your poor head. Look what it did to Sam."
"Hey!" Suri pouted and crossed her arms at the older boy. "I won't hurt my head like Sam!"
"He said the same thing," Bee joked and sent her a wink. In return Suri gave him a pout.
"He's a teenager Bee! Plus Sam has Mikaela so he needs to think a lot for dates and stuff," Suri defended. "It's only natural for people in relationships to think hard Bee."
"But you're not in a relationship," Bee hummed and glanced up at the rearview mirror to look at Suri. "At least I hope you're not. What would your Uncle say?"
"Relax Bee, I can't even date yet," she giggled. "All the boys in my class are icky and gross!"
As Suri and Bumblebee conversed, Luka would listen every now and then just in case she was called into the conversation. Earlier she could sense her charge drilling holes into the back of her head with her stare. It seems as if her charges wanted to figure her out and that was no surprise, afterall, she was still a mystery to them. They didn't know where she came from, what her previous job was, what her hobbies are, what her pet peeves are, there was a lot they didn't know about their new nanny. Luka was sure that only General Morshower, Will, Epps, and the autobots knew who she really was, yet at the same time they don't. She knew thay they only knew that she's a highly skilled assassin from an organization that knows about Mission City.
"..Uka...Luka...Hey Luka!" Suri called out, snapping the assassin from her thoughts once again. "Have you ever had a boyfriend?"
Ah, so they were talking about relationships now. Luka almost wanted to snort and roll her eyes at the question, but she refrained from doing so. Relationships were pointless considering she was a trained killer. She didn't have time to live double lives like all those heroes. She was no Clark Kent who went from news reporter to Superman or Bruce Wayne who went from billionaire playboy to Batman. No, she was just Luka Bucaneve, a silent killer at night. Well, now she's a nanny so supposedly she could choose to live a double life if she wanted to, but didn't. It would just be a hassle.
"Nessuna," Luka answered, glancing at the younger girl from the corner of her eye. "None."
"Really?" Suri gasped in disbelief. "But you're so pretty Luka, how could you not have a boyfriend or never have one?"
The little girl was very amusing as Luka takes note of what she says. Heh, the girl thought that she was pretty enough to have a boyfriend or in the past she would have a few. True, while she did look "beautiful" her personality was atrocious. Her job was disgusting. Her outlook in life was hideous. Luka was everything but beautiful.
"Hn."
Bumblebee gave a short nervous laugh as he continued to drive. This was getting awkward and tense again. However, luck was on his side as he spotted the exit out of the freeway. He sighed inwardly in relief as the left the freeway and entered the city, driving to the park. The blond glanced at the mirrors on the side to see Sideswipe following. Well, at least he didn't swerve and cut lanes like he said he was going to do.
When both cars finally parked in the parking lot at the park, the kids opened the doors and ran out, crying out in joy. Sideswipe closed the door and locked it before walking over to Bee and Luka. As the two young adults got out of the Camaro, Bee locked the door and sighed in relief.
"Told you it was going to be boring, should have cut the lanes anyways," Sideswipe joked. Bee only rolled his eyes at him. "So how was the car ride? Did Bee bore you to death?"
"Quit it Sideswipe," Bee rolled his eyes and sighed, He ran a hand through his hair and ruffled it before stretching.
"Oh yeah? Quit showing off to the ladies," Sideswipe shot back, rolling his eyes at the brighter blond. "You claim that I show off when you do just the same, just unconciously."
"Io vado a guardare i bambini..." the nanny muttered as she walked past the two men towards the playground where Suri and Zack were.
"Look Luka! Look how high I am!" Suri giggled as she swung higher on the swing. "Whee!"
"Just be careful Suri!" Zack warned as he sat down on the bench, watching his little sister. He didn't want his sister to jump off like last time. If Suri fell, he would definitely get in trouble, or Luka or Bee or Sideswipe would and he didn't want that.
Luka stood on the side and watched the younger Morshower move back and forth on the swing. If Luka wasn't trained, she would be nauseous just by watching the swing. Eventually Suri got bored and finally slowed down on the swing before skipping over to Luka. The nanny only raised an eyebrow at the younger girl as Suri took her hand and slowly pulled her towards the playground. What surprised Luka slightly was that Suri pushed her down on the swing.
"Come on Luka, give it a try!" Suri grinned and giggled. "You're never too old to go on a swing."
"Non mi serve di giocare," Luka murmured softly and grabbed hold of the chains as she watched the younger girl smile brightly at her. Suddenly she felt the swing jerk a bit, causing Luka to wobble slightly. She turned her head sharply to see Sideswipe standing behind her and narrowed her eyes once she saw him.
"Sheesh, no need to give me a dirty look babe," Sideswipe winked as he leaned over her. "Want me to push you on the swing?"
"No," Luka answered in a flat tone.
"Luka looks like a secretary on a swing," Zack laughed and grinned. Luka closed her eyes in annoyanced and sighed through her nose.
"How about this?" she heard Sideswipe's voice before all of a suddent she was lifted up. Before Luka could retalliate or attack him, she found herself sitting on his lap as he sat down on the swing as well. "Better?" his breath tickled her ear slightly. She turned her head only to give him a dark look. "Oh come on, ease up a bit sweetspark."
"Sideswipe you're a horrible flirt!" Zack laughed and plopped back down on the bench. He was clearly enjoying this too much.
"Aww...I wanna sit on someone's lap and swing too," Suri pouted. She squeaked in surprise as Bumblee picked up the young girl and set her down on his lap as he sat down on the swing next to Sideswipe and Luka. "Yay!" she squealed in delight, causing the blond holding her to chuckle softly.
"I think we look cute," Sideswipe teased, sending a wink at Bee who in turn only smiled and gave a short laugh. "Don't you think so?"
"We look like fools," Luka muttered darkly, narrowing her eyes at the platinum blond. "Unhand me."
"Don't be such a killjoy Luka," Sideswipe sighed. As Luka opened her mouth to retort, the cheeky blond began moving back and forth on the swing to gain momentum. She growled in her throat and glared at him. She wondered if it was even safe for two adults to be on a swing. For all she knew, the swing could snap and break and down they both go.
"Isn't this fun?" Suri giggled as she swung with Bumblebee. The blond however had to keep an arm around the little girl's waist just in case she would fly off.
"No," Luka grunted, glaring dangerously at the blond behind her. Sideswipe only grinned back at her in return.
"Don't frown so much babe, you'll get premature wrinkles," Sideswipe chided in a light, carefree tone as they continued to swing.
Luka growled at him like a feral dog before glancing down at the height they were reaching. She could actually jump off if she wanted to, but then she debated with the chances of scaring the children who were watching her. Plus, she knew that if she were to jump off, she would be setting a bad example for Suri and Zack and it was highly likely that Zack would try to copy her "stunt."
"Don't look down, look up!" Suri squealed in delight as they continued to swing. Luka closed her eyes to hold back the headache that was coming in before opening them. She glanced up to see the clear, blue sky. The assassin flinched slightly at the sunlight that was shining down at her face. She was about to move her hands from the chains of the swing before Sideswipe's hands grasped hers. She blinked and glanced at their hands from the corner of her eye. As her hands held the chains, his were over hers therefore double-clasping the chains.
"For some reason..." Sideswipe began as they continued to swing, "you actually look like child when you're on a swing." He chuckled as the young woman turned to glare at him. "Relax, I'm complimenting you, not insulting you."
"Hey guys! I'm bored! Don't leave me here to sit and watch!" Zack huffed and waved his arms up and down to catch the others attention.
"Whoops! Sorry about that little man!" Sideswipe laughed before slowing the swing down. Luka watched as Bee did the same and eventually both swings came to a stop. Suri hopped off of Bee's lap and wobbled.
"Wah!" she squeaked and fell on her bottom before getting back off. "My legs went to sleep for a bit."
Luka got off of Sideswipe and before he could open his mouth to say anything, she glared menacingly at him and hissed, "Do that again and I'll guarentee you that your alt form will suffer the consequences."
This got the blond to bark out a laugh. His smile then turned smug as he leaned forward to the nanny and played with a strand of her hair. What could a measely human do to a twenty-to-thirty foot mechanical being? Sometimes he wondered if humans were just too full of themselves. He chuckled and teased, "Sorry sweetspark, but I don't think you can do much damage to me."
"You want to find out?" she hissed and took out a knife swiftly from the holsters on her thighs. Sideswipe watched where she was pointing the knife to and his eyes widened. Luka was aiming the knife straight at his alt mode, the Corvette. "You may be a tall giant with weapons, but my aim is accurate and I can simply slash your tires and scratch your paint."
"...You wouldn't," Sideswipe's eyes narrowed and for the first time ever, Luka gave him a chilling smile.
"Try me."
"You two, quit it," Bee ordered as he walked over to the two. The scary smile disappeared from Luka's face in an instant as soon as Bumblebee arrived. She quickly placed the knife back in its holster before looking over to the second blond with the same stoic expression. "Don't take those out in public, you might scare people around you," he chided the woman before giving a warning look at the platninum blond. "And you better stop saying things that will offend others."
"Alright, I got it, I got it," Sideswipe held his hands up in surrender and sighed.
"Riconosciuta," Luka answered quietly with a curt nod. As Luka nodded her head in acknowledgement of Bumblebee's warning, she turned her heel and went off to attend the children as the two males stayed behind and watched her.
"...Did you see that?" Sideswipe glanced over to Bumblebee who watched Luka walk off. The other nodded his head briefly before looking over to Sideswipe.
"She certainly lives up to the mystery title given to her," Bee mused as he dug his hands in his jeans pockets.
"I know...did you see that chilling smile though?" Sideswipe grunted and shifted his weight onto one foot as he leaned against the street lamp post. "And how quickly it disappeared?"
"Just hope that she can control that kind of personality with the children," the black-tipped blond mumbled as he watched Suri tug Luka along to look at butterflies with Zack following behind them. "I'm only worried that she might snap like that to the children."
"I hope you're right about that," the Corvette owner sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "But she holds a lot of secrets and we need to know some specific secrets."
"Bee! Sideswipe! Come on!" Zack grinned and waved over at the males. "There's a small faire on the other side of the park!"
"Yeah, yeah, don't get your undies in a bunch kiddo," Sideswipe laughed and waved as he began walking over. Bee only smiled and followed behind, looking up ahead to see Luka walking with Suri. There were just too many secrets about Luka Bucaneve...
