Do you know the feeling you get when you are mad but you don't know why? You are mad, but you don't have a good reason to be mad. So you just choose to be mad at yourself? That's how Techna felt at the moment.
She had woken up in the med bay to see Bumblebee sitting in the giant gurney next to her. He was busy talking to Ratchet, so neither of them noticed her. Techna saw a giant dent in the scout's arm.
"Really Ratchet, I'm fine. It's just a dent."
"Now don't go telling me you're fine. I have to make sure there isn't any internal damage."
"You should be focusing on Allison."
"Don't go telling me what I should be doing either. Besides, I already know what's wrong with her. Luckily, it was an easy fix."
"What's wrong with me?"
The two bot's down at Techna. Rachet cleared his vocal pipes. "Well, it would be better to explain when Optimus returns." Just as the medic spoke his name, the prime's horn was heard down the long hallway.
"Speak of the Prime"
Optimus transformed as he entered the med bay. "Ratchet, I arrived as soon as I heard. Allison, are you alright."
"No."
"She's fine." Ratchet sassed backed at the techno-organic. "You just had a bit of an over surge."
"Over surge?"
"Yes. Now. Allow me to explain. Techna has a large amount of dark Energon within her blood, this is nothing new. But. How is she able to function while consuming normal Energon, while she has dark Energon in her blood?"
"I don't know Ratchet, how am I able to do that?" Techna said with an extra layer of sarcasm.
Ratchet rolled his optics and continued. "Megatron needs to consume dark Energon to live. But Techna does not because of her organic half. Her body natural reproduces dark Energon the same way humans reproduce blood. Normal Energon is just an extra boost. She could easily live without it, but it would be like a human who drinks too much caffeine trying to stop. Thus the reason she was so weak when she was our prisoner."
"And? What does this have to do with her 'over surge'".
"Dark Energon is meant to be used to destroy things and cause chaos. Techna hasn't exactly been doing that, so she has too much dark Energon in her bloodstream. Luckily i was able to take it out of her. "
Rachet unlocked a drawer and pulled out an Energon container. It was less than half full of dark Energon. "Now this is going to happen more than once if we don't do anything about it."
"What would you recommend?" Optimus asked.
"Either she comes to me once every few weeks and I take it out manually. Or she get's rid of it naturally. I would prefer the 2nd one, given the fact we don't have the correct facilities to contain dark Energon."
"So you want me to fight," Techna asked.
"Allison, I understand if you don't want to. I know it would be hard to fight against your former…."
"Ok. Sounds fun." Techna cut off the prime. "I mean I didn't really like the Vehicons that much, and I could punch Knockout in the face. Plus you guys don't have to worry about me destroying the whole base. It's basically a win-win for everyone."
"I see." Optimus gave a side glance to the medic who just shrugged his shoulders.
"Very well. But, you are only allowed to go on selected missions. Just enough to keep you stable. Is that far?"
"Can I punch Knockout in the face when I see him?"
"If he gives you a proper reason to."
"Then sure." Techna looked at Ratchet. "So. Am I good to go?"
"I…. suppose so."
Techna got off the gurney and walked out. She didn't look back at the bots at all. When she got to her room Freak ran up to her and started bouncing at her feet. "I don't have any treats for you."
Freak let out a disappointed noise and flew out of the room through the vent. "DON'T TRY TO GO BEGGING! BUG BOY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING EITHER!"
Techna flopped on her bed and sighed. She had fun with Bumblebee, but it got ruined. "I should just accept the fact that good things don't happen to bad people."
This week was strange. From Techna having her over surge to Smokescreen having to hang out with Jack. Apparently, Jack was a better choice for teaching Smokescreen to blend in.
"I did not mean to insult you," Optimus said as the boys left the base.
"I'm fine." Optimus could tell she wasn't.
"Hey, Allison. Why don't we go out for a bit? I'll let you drive!" Bumblebee offered.
"Sure. That would be a first." Everyone left at the base grew silent. "What?"
"You've never driven before?" Ratchet asked in shock.
"No. Do you really think some Proud Decepticon is gonna let me drive."
"So. Agent Fowler gave you a license, and you didn't even think that you should tell him?"
"Yea. But it's not like it's hard. You guys do it all the time."
"THAT'S BECAUSE WE ARE VEHICLES. IT'S LIKE WALKING." Ratchet took in a deep inhale from annoyance. "From my understanding, driving for humans can be difficult. Like any form of machinery, one must be trained."
"Well. I know what we're doing today!"
