Who: Kitt, and anyone who happens to notice him.
What: On the way home - to a new home.
Where: Zone Three.
Summary: With the Tyrans having their difficulties, and Kitt being Kitt, he decided he needed a place of his own - so now he's made a down payment on a small garage in Zone Three.
Notes: It's a shorter commute, but there's not much to say

Not bad, for a mechanic with her hand in a cast...brace...thing.
So, here she was, testing it out when she found a familiar vehicle soaking up the sun. She skidded to a stop, then moved her bike up next to him, tugging her helmet off with her good hand.
"Sunbathing again, Kitt?"

"Perfect. Thank you for doing that for me, Kitt. I owe you big time." That would have raised so many questions. Questions Mikaela could not (and did not want to) answer to the Autobots.

"Oooh, new weaponry? What'd you get?"

But her muttering -
"Mikaela, why would the presence of a first aid kit be something requiring explanation?"

She flinched slightly, then glanced at the red orb. "Because by all rights, I uh...doubt that they'd think the 'Cons giving me a first aid kit was..." Something. Either way, She knew Barricade would have not wanted that evidence there. "And the one who gave to to me probably would have gotten in trouble if I'd left it there, so..."
Kitt is easy to talk to, and her words that are usually guarded around the Autobots and Sam spill out as though she had no filter to begin with.

That was when he understood that, by disposing of it, he had actually aided a Decepticon. Perhaps finding his own home when he did was truly for the best.

This she also felt was her fault.
"He's um...also teaching me and helping me with the language of the 'Cons." She shifted, staring at her hands. "When I touched the Allspark splinter, I think...I think it gave me that ability. 'M startin' to be able to understand the Autobots, too."

Curious.
Being an AI, he had the faintest of understandings - mostly because he'd not applied himself to the study and understood it more as a concept than an actuality, but a machine language was a machine language.

"Do you understand it at all?" He's probably picking it up, she's realizing that as she asks. ''Cade's been teaching me and helping me with my pronunciations and tenses..." Her voice trailes off as she realizes what she's just admitted.

She'd learned, she said, by touching a splinter of ... the Allspark? "What is the Allspark?" he asked then, gathering detials.

"Oh, it's this, well it was this cube that...pretty much gave life to Cybertron. Optimus said without it, they couldn't revive Cybertron.
"It had crashed on Earth forever ago, Megatron chasing it. 'S how the war was brought to Earth. Course, there was apparently another source back home but that's a whole different story."

The one he resembled, at that.

"I...I'm not sure." She started slowly, pulling at her hair thoughtfully. "The first time I met him, I thought I was gonna die. That was two years ago. Second time, I thought I was gonna die then, too. But..." She hesitated, pulling at her hair harder. "He wanted information. Like...about Megatron, his leader, and the Fallen...it was...super important to him. He kept saying he had little reason to live, and that any news of his...Lord was good news. So when he found out he was alive still..." She cleared her throat and stared out the window.
"Said I gave him...hope or something. A reason to stay alive."

He didn't understand the way humans thought. Only now was he realising how little he understood of how Cybertronians thought. They seemed very similar.
Very irrational and illogical.

She rubbed her eyes in frustration.
"But I feel like he's the only one who can properly teach me this language, that can help me understand it and the tenses and the pronunciations..." Everything that went along with learning a foreign language.
"And...and weird stuff's been going on lately with me, with Sam...I mean, I knew about the Decepticon before, but now all of a sudden I'm just randomly picking up bits and pieces of Autobot?"
She rested her head on the wheel. "I'm going crazy, I think. I shouldn't have any kind of relationship with a Decepticon. Am I crazy, Kitt?"
