Reader is female and cybertronian
Reader works as a sparkling caretaker
Her built-in power is that she can make holograms and can basically live in them (she can let others too) and they act like they can touch, taste, etc so like another body... until she removes them
There’s a reference to tfp lol

Setting: While prowl was gone (before the protoforms were destroyed) he was required to bring back sparklings who were on a ship, which had broken down in space, with a bot he trained with. Oh and there are space pirates now
( ) = comms
[3rd POV]
Aboard a ship in deep space all was quiet except for one room. Eleven sparklings surrounded two bots who were each sharing their experience during their ninja bot training.
Y/n placed Twilight, the youngest sparkling, on her hip and whispered to Prowl that she was putting the femme to bed. Quietly humming to herself, she gently swayed towards her berthroom. Twilight was too young to share a room with the other rambunctious sparklings, so she offered to keep her in her room. Slowly, Twilight was placed on her railed berth while she sang her to sleep. Seeing the young child sleeping, she walked over to her own berth and started recharging.
Alarms rang out through the ship as Y/n jumped off her berth. Alarmed, she grabbed the sparkling and quickly ran towards the control room.
“Prowl! What’s happening!?”
“We’re being ambushed by pirates! Take the sparklings and put them in emergency stasis! I’ll try to shake them!” He answered.
The sparklings were huddled in a corner shaking when she burst in the room, “Everyone follow me! Keep up now!” Quickly they rushed to the lower deck. After doing a head check she found that one was missing.
Y/n turned towards the oldest of the group and asked them to watch the others. Swiftly, she raced throughout the ship calling the young mech’s name while trying to calm down Twilight. Upon not finding Axel, the missing sparkling, she disappointedly sprinted into the control room to find that he was in the room helping Prowl.
“Axel! Don’t leave the group like that! Prowl do you need anymore help?” She took a deep breath. ”If not, I’m taking you,” she looks towards Axel, “to the others. Ok?”
Prowl looks over towards her. “You can take him down with the others.”
She frowned then grabbed Axel with her free hand and rushed out of the room.
(Is everything ok?) She asked Prowl over the comms.
(Not so much. They’re hot on our trail.) He hesitated, (I need you up here when you are done.)
(Ok, I’ll be there in a bit.) She bit her derma. This was not a good sign.
Silently, they stumbled to the lower deck. While passing the escape pods a huge boom sounded out through the ship as they were flung into a pod. Suddenly the doors slammed shut and they were ejected into space.
Eclipse stared wide optic as they witnessed what was happening; the ship had been shot and was hurtling towards a large asteroid. She turned around and gazed at Axel and Twilight. Their terrified eyes met hers.
Silently Axel spoke,” What are we going to do? Our power will go out soon and we have no energon.”
“Well we will go into stasis until someone finds us. There is really is no other choice.” She explained. “But we will be fine.”
She took one look at the younglings before putting them into stasis pods then herself.
[was planning on making this ch.2 but its not long enough so another time skip]
( )= comm.
[Y/n’s POV]
Alarms ring out through the small pod as I online. Pain shoots out through my body as I stand. Looking at the surroundings through the windows, I find that we crashed on a planet. Who knows how long its been since we were shot off of the ship!
As I start to open the door I realize that Axel and Twilight are still stuck in stasis pods!
I find that the stasis’ door control is broken and I sigh. Why do these things happen to me?
I quickly grab a piece of the metal sticking out of the ship and examine the pod for a way to break the glass without hurting the kids.
I decided to not break the glass but instead to ply open the door. I wedge the metal in between the door and
“What are we going to do now?” Axel asked.
“We’ll I’ll learn about what lives here and try to fit in... I guess?”
[timeskip]
“Ok. I found out about some stuff and found us disguises.... well I can disguise us as a family if that’s ok with you two.” I looked at Axel and Twilight. They both nodded even though Twilight probably thought that she was gonna be fed. It was going to be a struggle to keep us safe and fed.
Frowning I scanned through some photos of people and chose a lady who was about (Y/H) with (Y/H/C) hair and (Y/E/C).
Then for Axel chose a young boy who had dirty-blond hair and brown eyes. He seemed around the age eight or nine.
I smiled, Twilight was next, I’m going to have fun with this. For her I chose a young girl with auburn hair and eyes that were blue on the outside and brown closer to the pupil.
Now onto the hard part: a believable backstory.
[biiiiiggg timeskip]
As we walked in our apartment I dropped off our stuff at the door and explore the rooms. There was two bedrooms, a kitchen+living room, and one bathroom. I sit in a bedroom and grab my new phone and look for a job. To my surprise found a job as a building supervisor for a business called Sumdac Systems. It is in a city called Detroit, Michigan. As I quickly look up where that is I realized that it’s like reeeealy far away...... and I’m in......... Jasper, Nevada. I was required to be there to do the job so I quickly schedule a interview on zoom since I was so far away. If I got the job then we will leave if not then we stay.
[Three days later]
As I start to log on to the meeting/interview I look towards the kids’ room. We had each chosen different names; Axel’s is Austin, Twilight’s is Cassie, and mine is Y/n Smith. I was a “single mother” of Austin and Cassie. We ‘came’ from Nevada, looking for a new start. My “husband” had died in a plane crash.
I sigh. What am I going to do? It’s taking a lot out of me to keep up the disguises. Hopefully we can find other bots.
As I face the screen I realized that Mr. Sumdac was looking at me. “Oh! Hi Mr. Sumdac! I’m Y/n Smith… well you probably know that but I’m here for the interview.” I nervously smile. I am NOT good at this stuff hence why I work with children. They don’t judge nearly as much as adults.
He laughes. “Yes. Now I assume you have experience with robots?” Oh the irony
[After the interview]
I throw myself onto my bed. That was way too stressful. However I think I made a good impression..... maybe. He said that he would message me in about a day or two to tell me if I made it or not so I can start the moving process as soon as possible.
Austin ran into my room. “Tw-Cassie is crying and keeps throwing her toys at me.” He complained while rubbing his forehead.
“Oh no. Are you ok?” I slide off of my bed and stand up. Sighing, I pick him up and set him on my hip.
He nods, ”Y-yes. But my helm hurts.” He looks at me with teary eyes.
“Aww I’m sorry I’ll fix that ok? And remember it’s head not helm kiddo.”
I walk towards their room, wondering what’s wrong with my wonderful, dear child Cassie. Once again I am reminded how hard it is to be a single mom. Now all I need- actually I’m not going to jinx myself so we’ll leave it there.
