Chapter 129 - Chapter 26 part 7

After two days, Alexa adjusted to her strength and odd feeling the in her chest as she managed to get up finally. She went into her slippers and went to meet the rest of the Autobots and her family. She soon managed to find Bumblebee who was nearby. "Ah Bumblebee, what are you doing here?" She asked before he looked upwards. "I been meaning to give you this for an while now. You better check this somewhere private." He said and gave her the SKY ROBOT notes as she held them, the papers were thick but felt sugary and they were a dull beige mixed with brown. She went to put them on her desk to read them out later but maybe it could teach her more considering she was wondering the one who attacked her for the cube. What was the cube anyways? Alexa wondered to herself. She soon entered and put them there before leaving again and coming across Optimus who looked stressed. "Ah, are you okay Optimus?" She questioned and he responded with "Could be better. Starscream still has a part of his spark in me and that thing is stressing me out." Using her old comforting techniques, she said "I think you shouldn't worry too much on work, y'know?" Alexa tried her best and Optimus replied "Thanks for the advice. I don't know if I could but seeing you cheer up everyone else; I been wanting to do that for some time now." Alexa looked thoughtfully and said "The best thing to do is not stress them out." She waved goodbye as Optimus looked from afar. She greeted a few other Autobots apart from Bumblebee who hugged her tightly for some reason and she went to go meet her family and rest of her friends again.

Soon she saw Kirin nearby, he had been unusually out this morning going around and speaking to everybody he could find which is a surprise but her guess is that he have been wanting to know more about the Autobots and what happened to Alexa there ever since she fell into the core. Alexa soon came up to him and tapped his shoulder and asked "Kirin, what are you doing here?" Kirin turned around with surprise not expecting her to do that before replying "Ah, I didn't expect you here, Alexa. But in a nutshell I been wanting to find the Medic around here." Alexa pointed to the medbay and told him Hoist was their Medic now although the constructicon didn't expect himself to get assigned to a new role since he been stressed out already with stuff like construction and trying to build things which still continued to this day. But since they didn't have Ratchet, Red Alert and Hoist had to take up the positions. Red Alert had been more paranoid and is said to have nightmares from the events while Reion had been busy helping Seaspray with trying to fix some water issues that happened in the Ark, so everyone was busy these days trying to fix their ship. Alexa didn't know about the death count of everyone around, nobody told her but it seemed to the reach into the millions with out everyone around the world was reacting. Alexa watched him leaving and decided to see where her mother and brother were. She only found her brother where he was busy looking over food to eat in the mess hall. "Alexa! Sit down with me, sister." Harold said and she sat down.

"Hey there Harold. You been getting to know the Autobots?" She asked and he responded with "They still make me confused. Like why do giant robots suddenly exist in our world?" She could understand that, the Cybertronians were an already odd species. Combine that with their concepts and it becomes a completely different headache. Alexa said "You would not be the first to question them." And Harold looked slightly irritated. "I know- Never mind." He said and shook his head before getting to the important point, "So by the way, are you staying here?" Harold asked and Alexa nodded. "Well for a bit, my physical health needs to improve before I can get out of here." Harold now noticed the odd shade in her eyes and questioned "Was that always there?" Alexa didn't know what he was talking about but then again she hasn't looked in the mirror. "Is there something on my face?" She questioned and Harold said "Your eyes... Um... I don't know how to explain. But you better look in the mirror." Alexa had the look of confusion as she got up and left, going back to her room and she opened the door before closing it. She finally turned to look at the mirror and saw that in fact her eyes were different, not in the sense they had unnatural colours. But the top part of her eyes were hazel and the bottom part were dark brown and they spilt off into the middle. She looked quite shocked to say the least. "My eyes!" She said examining her appearance up and down. She still had bags under her eyes, her skin managed to regain some of her colour and her hair was still messy. Her hands felt cold and she still had a lot of her scars from the fights. "Okay now it's actually chilly in here." And grabbed the remote for turning up the temperature in this room before grabbing the notes on the cupboard nearby.

She began to analysing the Sky Robot papers, one of the papers had symbols like thickly drawn Decepticon symbols, large X symbols, drawn human eyes, an poorly drawn version of an realistic heart, oil puddles and leaves. It was extremely fragmented and Alexa wondered what this meant. The leaves probably related to the flowers and the Decepticon symbols were obvious in what they were. But the rest confused her. Heart and eyes are organs but the X didn't make sense in anyway possible. Alexa turned around the papers and on the other side there was drawings of landscapes and mountains with circle around the caves in Scotland. Large scratchy ink appeared on the paper which said "Our last cryptic hunt was here" which was outside of Sutherland. Soon an red arrow appeared to Aviemore which below the arrow more text appeared, "Our guide are said to be here." Alexa remembered that the closest place she had went to Aviemore was Dundee which was not fun to stay at. She didn't like the cold anyways plus Scotland was quite confusing to navigate if you didn't know where to go. "Now what is this about Scotland?" She questioned put away that paper and took out another one, this time it was an paper full of drawings with crystals. Crystals? She didn't know that these were important and just looked over the labels: Diamond, Ruby, Amber, Topaz, Rose quartz, Jasper, Obsidian and Aquamarine. And the other side showed more crystals such as Amethyst, Carnelian, Amazonite and Garnet. But two crystals caught her eye, an yellow one called Honey Coma and the other one was called Serasine which was orange-grey. She didn't recognise these crystals but assumed they were recently found.

After looking over the papers, she had an idea to draw her own experiences. She grabbed out one of the papers from the drawers and grabbed a ballpoint pen which she began to sketch out. She was done with the first paper, which she drew an cartoonish version of herself as a silhouette covering everything expect for her eyes which stared in horror. The drawing was her falling into the large hole where light came out, it was less scratchy than the Cryptic drawings which seem to be by an experienced cryptic hunter but still seemed to be a sort of abstract concept. After she was done drawing the large Autobot spark in her hands which was a mix between a circle, a hexagon and a diamond shape. She wrote down in thick black letters "Are things truly solved?" Then the next drawing she did was when she was on the cliff looking over the vortex and another one was Optimus being controlled by Starscream. She put those drawings on the cupboard again and suddenly heard a knock outside. "Ah come in." Alexa said flustered that she got interrupted. "It's your mother, it's time to eat." Mrs Lilian said and Alexa went outside. Alexa entered the mess hall and saw that Shifter was still serving stuff. Harold didn't care much about Shifter but Lili looked uneasy. "Alexa, who is that?" She pointed at Shifter and Alexa said "Shifter, that's the bartender of the Ark. He is usually nice unless you make him mad." She said remembering how Shifter dealt with the Decepticons there. But Alexa asked for noodles which Shifter went to make after trying to pick up human cooking. She sat down wondering about the Decepticon as she began to talk to her family.

"By the way, Alexa I want to ask for your number." Lili said before Alexa took out her phone and gave it to her to type it out. Lili was done and gave it back to Alexa. She texted Alexa a smiley face before putting her phone away. Alexa soon said through a message that they should talk later. Soon Shifter gave their meals, cutlery and tissues before moving back behind the counter to serve drinks again.
