“Surely you must understand that our abilities will not remain secret for long,” Prowl said reasonably.
“Of course they will,” Tranquility said. “The magic will keep it that way, so long as you don’t do anything too obvious.”
“But Jazz introduced himself on both occasions we clashed with the Decepticons while upgraded.”
Jazz snickered. “Champion of truth, justice and rock ‘n roll, that’s me!”
“And besides that, the only changes to our plating while in that state are relatively minor. Anyone with a functioning set of optics will easily recognize us.”
“Except that they won’t,” the small black cat replied smugly. “Did any of that second group tonight recognize either of you at all?”
“Nope,” Jazz replied. He glanced over at Prowl, who was still regarding them both with a skeptical expression, and tapped the Upgrade panel attached to the armor over his spark chamber contemplatively. He felt that the panel itself was pretty obvious - deep blue with an engraved silver crescent moon that sparkled brightly in the moonlight, and a dark grey with the same silver moon for Prowl - but Tranquility had earlier assured them that no one would even notice it when they weren’t using their respective Upgrades. “Woulda thought ‘Screamer might have said something about it at the very least; he never can stop running his vocalizer.”
“Perhaps he was trying to suppress the horrific experience,” Prowl replied dryly. “In any case, we didn’t really give them a chance for conversation. Our arrival left each group of Decepticons in a state of confusion to the extent of an extremely fast retreat once we attacked.”
“Cause we’re just that good.”
“That, and they likely assumed Wheeljack has developed some sort of super weapon. I’m sure in subsequent attacks they will rally a more effective defense.”
“Regardless of what they thought,” Tranquility interrupted, eyeing them both, “The magic was doing its job. They might have been surprised, but trust me; none of your enemies recognized you. The magic would have distorted the name-dropping without being noticeable.”
“Convenient, that.”
“As long as no one sees you transform, the magic will keep anyone else from discovering your true identities,” Tranquility explained. “Or, well, unless it’s necessary for them to know,” she added meticulously. “Then they won’t be affected.”
“But that makes no sense,” Prowl said, and Jazz was hard-put to restrain the smile fighting to break free at the faint note of complaint in Prowl’s voice.
Tranquility sniffed. “It makes perfect sense,” she retorted. “It’s magic.”
