"Hell is loving you in my sleep and waking up alone."

"Can I get a look?" Cade asked Cogman as he looked through the periscope.
"No, I'm looking." Cogman told Cade as he continued to look through the scope.
"Will you move?" Cade asked as he shoved the transformer out of the way, "God, get out of the way, man." Cade brought his eyes to the periscope and looked through before gasping, "Is that water?" He asked
Aurora snorted from her seat, "No shit, Sherlock." Aurora stated, rolling her eyes thinking that Cade has gotten a thousand times dumber since they arrived in the UK.
"Obviously it's water." Vivian mumbled looking at Cade.
Cade pulled his face away from the periscope and looked at the woman, "Do you know how to operate it?" Cade asked referring to the submarine they sat in, "You know how to operate it, right? He says you're in charge of this now." Cade looked back through the periscope.
"Let me see. Let me see." Cogman repeated as he grabbed Cade
"Don't touch me again. Don't freak me out." Cade warned the butler.
"What happens in the alien ship stays in the alien ship. I will eff you up." Cogman warned the man as he backed away.
Aurora rolled her eyes and watched as the two bickered, she let out a sigh and rubbed her face. She was tired and depressed, not the best combination but here she was. Sitting in an old transformer going who knows how deep into the ocean, all because of some myth an old British man spoke about.
"Are you alright?" The British accent broke her out of her thoughts. Aurora looked over at the woman who had a look of concern on her face.
"I'm as good as I can be." Aurora replied with a sad smile, "When you do this shit for years, it gets a little exhausting."
Vivian gave the woman a sad smile, "How long?"
"Since I've met the Autobots?" Vivian nodded her head, "I was 18 when we found them, so what... 10 years, give or take." Aurora told her, "Been doing the same shit for the past 10 years, running for my life from giant alien robots and the government."
Vivian hummed as she looked over the former blonde, her gaze landing on the diamond engagement ring and the wedding band that graced her ring finger. "How long have you been married?"
"5 years..." Aurora trailed off as she looked at her rings, "Though, I don't know if I should start calling myself a widow. He's been gone for years and we haven't heard anything from him."
"Aurora, don't talk like that." Cade scolded the woman, "Prime will come back, for us, and more importantly, you."
Aurora sighed as she looked at her friend, "Yeah. I hope."

"Cogman? Is that normal?" Vivian asked the butler as she watched a light flash.
"Perfectly normal, ma'am." He replied before looking back at the two women, "A nuclear-class attack submarine is on our stern."
"What?" Aurora questioned
"Quick, follow me. Quick." Cogman ushered the two to follow him, picking up Cade in the process.
"It's your sub, not mine." Cade told the British woman
"My sub? Seven hours ago, I was just a professor." Vivian defended herself as Cogman brought the three of them to the front of the sub.
"An alarm on a sub is not a good thing." Aurora stated as she looked around.
"Why did he send us up here?" Vivian asked the other two.
"He got us up front so we die first." Cade exclaimed as he threw his hands in the air. Cade's hands landed on Vivian as he steady himself as the sub shook slightly.
"We're clear for now." Cogman told them as he walked back to the three, his gaze landing Cade and Vivian. "Hands off. There is a time and a place for everything. This is not the time nor the place." Cogman pulled Cade away from Vivian as he spoke.
"Hey." Aurora called out as she followed the bot
"Not now."
"Where are you going?"
"Away from here." He stated as he placed himself in a torpedo cannon and shot himself out of the sub.
Cade gaped at the scene, "That little sicko just shot himself out like a torpedo." Cade exclaimed to the two women, pointing out the window.
"I know. I saw it." Vivian replied in shock, Aurora stared out the window and watched as the bubbles slowly disappeared.
"Wow. Just... wow." Aurora mumbled, "Now what?"
Ten minutes later, Aurora sat with her feet propped up on the table as she watched Cade fool with his talisman.
"Cade, leave it alone."
"Why doesn't it do that thing yous does?" Cade asked sadly as he looked at the metal object, taking his shirt off to watch as it moved.
"Oh, my... sorry." Vivian mumbled as she walked in.
Cade blushed and looked at her, "I just got this thing that was on my arm and it's, like, just moving all around." Cade stuttered out, Aurora watched as the two stared at each other.
"Yeah. It seems to not be...if you'd..." Vivian trailed off as she looked Cade's torso.
"It's just sort of slithery... Slipping from the arm to the..." Cade trailed down as the talisman disappeared past his pants. "Yeah, it's going down."
"It's going down your pants there. Careful." Vivian said as she awkwardly watched, "And is it tight or gripping on?"
"My god, this is painful to watch." Aurora mumble, watching the two adults.
"It doesn't hurt, but I don't know what it does. It's like some worthless alien junk. Aurora's gives her armor." Cade pointed to the woman
"Don't bring me into your weird, awkward single person conversation." Aurora told Cade.
"I think the purpose... I think the..." Vivian trailed off as she stared at Cade, "We'll find out the purpose is. If... if you want to." Vivian suggested as Cade put his shirt back on.
Aurora's gaze turned to the butler that walked in with candles and plates.
"Cogman. What is all this?" Aurora asked as he pushed her feet down and placed the objects down.
"End of the world. I thought a meal, a last meal, would be in order." Cogman replied.
"Great. I'm starving." Cade stated as he sat down next to Aurora and Vivian across from him.
"No canoodling." Cogman told the two as he walked away
"Wait, Cogman?" Aurora called out to him but he was already out of view, "Don't leave me here with these two." She mumbled to herself.
"Yep. My daughter would..."
"So my grandma said..."
"My daughter would love this."
"My grandma would absolutely..."
Aurora's gaze flickered between them both as they both trailed off their sentences.
"She keeps saying I've got to move on." Cade said talking about Tessa.
"Yeah, I was about to say. She would love it."
"Really?"
"Yes, all the time."
"What does she say?" Cade asked, making the woman next to him mentally groan.
"Go on a date, get a boyfriend." Vivian mocked her grandmother with a slight laugh. Cade looked over at her, "Is this a date?" he asked.
Aurora rolled her eyes as Vivian shook her head, "No. God, it's not a date. No. It's just that..."
"It's romantic." Cade finished for her, the woman nodded her head.
"Sushi ala Cogman." The bot announced as he paraded back in with a large platter. Aurora let out a sigh of relief and looked down at the food.
"Looks great." She complimented with a smile, Cogman looked at her and nodded his head in appreciation. "Now lets eat so it'll stop you two from stumbling over your own words like teenagers."
Cade choked on his food and looked over at his friend, "What?"
