((Midnight, Aug 16th 2027))
Knockout had managed to sneak away yet again and, as one would expect, went looking for a street race again. He had, however, not heard that the thing had been canceled, so here he was, sitting on an open street, grumbling to himself a bit. He had driven this far, and for nothing. The red sports car that was his alt mode then just drove off the main road, transforming into his true form a little was from the main road and moving to sit right by the tree line. He wasn't too worried about being seen, goodness knew he could handle any humans who tried to give him trouble and, well, if it was an Autobot who found him, he would at the least get SOME action at least, even if it wasn't a race.
He sighed, bringing his hands up to clasp behind his head as he leaned back against the trunk of a thicker tree, looking at the night sky. "Well, that was a bust." he muttered to himself, crossing his legs near the knee joints and just sort of chilling for the time being. He did not plan to go trying to franticly search for another race, after all, it's not like they were exactly advertised and this one seemed to have been called off for the night. So he just sat there with nothing better to do, but hey, at least he was out that damned base. He decided to begin flipping through human radio stations then, just to find something to listen to, finding All My Life by Foo Fighters and settling on that so it wasn't completely silent.

"You pissed too?" came a voice from up in the trees. On one of the thicker branches a teenage girl was carefully balanced laying on her stomach looking down at the mech who had sat back against the same exact tree she happened to have climbed up. She had a slight smirk on her face but there was a definite hint of frustration. Three days ago she had left to get here in time to see the race, maybe ride passenger if she was really lucky seeing as how she had no way of entering the race herself, and got here only to learn that the race had been canceled. Now she was stuck a bit with no way to get home that wouldn't take another three days unless she called someone, and considering how much she was going to get fussed at for leaving and disappearing for three days without telling anyone ahead of time she didn't want to do that so much. Of course, had she told anyone what she was up to she'd have been fussed at before even getting the chance to leave so she took what she saw as the better option at the time.

Knockout's gaze snapped up hearing a voice above him, almost as if by instinct his arm went up to grab the startling figure, pulling the girl right from the branch before his processor realized it was just a human, not some attacker or danger. The red medic sighed, his stern grip loosening to make sure he didn't hurt her and moved down to simply place the girl on the ground 'You should be careful about startling being more than twice your size, I didn't hurt you did I?" he asked, bring his hand back up to clasp it with his other behind his head once more. "A little, was expecting to race, so much for that." he said, sounding just a little annoyed but not too much so, after all, time out the base was time out the base. "Sorry about the grab human, I can get a little jumpy when agitated." he said, looking at the girl, she was a younger one, not a young teen or anything, he hazarded a guess that she was in very early adulthood, thus looked her over a little without much guilt. These humans, while some of them were just plain unattractive, some of them got even his attention, this girl did a little, mostly her eyes. He smirked a bit, looking forward again so he didn't seem like he was staring at her. "Came to see the race then?"

She yelped slightly at being grabbed out of the tree. He was quick, that was for sure. But once on the ground she took up a casual stance as if nothing had even happened. "I'm good." she assured him, lacing her fingers and stretching her arms over her head, a decently loud pop sounding as she did so. "Don't worry, that was like that before. Think ya helped loosen it up a bit so thanks. I was hoping to watch the race, maybe ride shotgun if I could talk someone into it. I got experience but I'm sorta lacking access to a car at the moment, at least one I'd put through a race." She let her arms flop to the sides and twisted back and forth a bit just to be sure everything had popped back into place. "And for the record, this ain't the first time I startled someone way bigger than I am and it sure as hell won't be the last." she added shooting him a sly smirk, an interesting glint in her eye that could quite be placed. It seemed to playfully long for danger and excitement though if only for a source of amusement. She was a daring one, that much was for sure.

Knockout chuckled just slightly "In that case you're welcome." he said, glancing back at the girl "I was hoping to actually have a little excitement, but the race being called off kind of denied me that." he told her before moving his hands from behind his head and moving to stand, he was only 12 feet tall so this meant the girl came up to his upper thigh, he extended a hand to her to introduce himself "Name's Knockout, I'm a medic, but I happen to be a bit of a car enthusiast as well, so I end up coming to these races, for fun and to see what nice cars might show up." he said before smirking. Riding shotgun, that wasn't likely to happen with him, unless she turned out to be someone he could stand for a prolonged period of time.

The girl reached out and shook his hand confidently. "Jasmin, and if you can figure out how the hell to classify me let me know." she said half jokingly. "Is a damn shame the race was called off. Three days ago I left to make my way here in time just to at least watch the action and I got jack. Now I gotta figure a way home when most of what I did to get here in the first place was improvised!" She threw her arms up at the last statement. It was frustrating, while normally she just rolled with the punches putting so much effort into something that came to no avail was very disappointing. "I swear it's very tempting to just go and make my own excitement. Ain't really anyone around to stop me, unless you try to. Try was the operative word in that last part by the way. Anyway, point is three days work and anticipation and work I outta get something out of it." She crossed her arms, the gears already turning. She thought over what she had with her, what happened to be in the surrounding area, where she might be able to acquire massive amounts of duct tape at this time of night. What the duct tape was for she hadn't the slightest idea yet but it was one of those things that more often than not proved useful so what the hell, why not? She glanced down at her stomach as it growled a bit. "Oh yeah, there's that too." she added mostly to herself.

"Let me guess. . ." he said, placing a hand on his hip "In all your improvising you managed to forget to pack anything for nourishment, didn't you?" he asked, a light hmph coming from his frame "Well I could offer you a ride, but it'd cost you." he said, a smirk on his lips as he crossed his arms over his chest, looking at her. He didn't really want or need anything from the girl, but messing with her a little wouldn't hurt too much, would it?

"I packed enough for a normal person!" she retorted. "Besides, I sorta gave some of my stock to a young girl who turned out to be homeless. I've pretty much been there myself so I figured I'd help her out some, least I could do. Besides, ain't like I've never stolen food before should it come to that." She looked up at him, cocking one hip to the side her arms still crossed. Her smirk returned, as confident as ever, and her eyes seemed to hold a sense of challenge in them as well as having just accepted one. "And what exactly would a big strong mech like yourself need from a little human less than half his size hmm?"

Knockout grinned then, bending down so he was able to look right at her "If it took you three days to get here, and you need a ride home, I'm going to get dirty. I'll give you a ride back if you help wash my alt mode after the trip, deal?" he said, the grin returning to a smirk as he stood back up fully. OK, ok, she had spunk, he was a little curious about this girl and, maybe, his curiosity could be settled if he got to talking to her on the way back to where ever she lived. "Just where do you live Jasmin?"

Jasmin grinned at the offer. "Sounds easy enough, reasonable too. Deal." she said. It was a pretty simple request and she wouldn't mind doing it at all. Just so long as he wasn't expecting her to do so in a bikini. If he was he was going to be disappointed considering the fact she didn't even own one. "I live in Washington DC. Well, just outside it technically. Pretty big place, can't miss it." she explained.

Knockout then, promptly facepalmed "Why did it have to be D.C.?" he muttered, sighing. Now it made some sense, she hadn't freaked seeing a huge robotic being, seemed very, very comfortable around a Cybertronian, though some knew humans or had human friends, but the fact she lived in D.C., he assumed it meant. . . "Don't tell me. . .you're one of the humans who stays with the Autobots, aren't you?"

Jasmin's grin remained as she laced her fingers and rested her hands behind her head looking almost like she was leaning back against, well, nothing. "Yup. Kinda crazy that, eh? Just sorta worked out that way and considering I was homeless previously I'm not about to bitch." she said. She then let the grin fade to a slightly more serious look. "Just because I'm with them, though, doesn't mean I hold any prejudice. Way I see it doesn't matter what someone is, what matters is who they are. In the end we're all just people, right?"

Knockout lowered himself to one knee, looking at the girl, he couldn't just leave her this far from home, she was still young even if nearing or early in adulthood, she was also small and attractive, if she ended up trying to hitchhike and the wrong guy picked her up, no, he would rather be able to make sure she got home safely. He held his hand out to her, his palm up, long, tapered fingers together to give her a wider space to stand seeing how he was barely big enough to pick her up like this anyways. "I'll still bring you back, but you don't tell anyone it was me who gave you a ride, if word got back to the Decepticons, you can only imagine what I'd be in for. I can't go right up to the base but I could bring you close enough for you to walk and use my holoform to walk you there to make sure you got back safely, alright? I would rather the Autobots not mistakenly think I'm holding you hostage or anything, spending a night in a brig is not my idea of fun." he told her and, if she did step onto his hand, he would simply place her on his knee which was bend up due to his kneeling.

Jasmin nodded, stepping into his hand and finding herself placed on his knee. "Fair enough. So far I gotta say I wouldn't want to see either happen to you myself. I was actually thinking if any of the Autobots try and go at you I'd go sit on your hood, that way they can't do much of anything without risking my safety but it also shows I'm free to go whenever I want so I ain't a hostage or anything. Basically cause a stalemate while we talk 'em down to a calmer state. Your plan works too though." She sat down cross-legged on his knee, looking up at him with a smile. "Kinda didn't occur to me the whole issue of the Decepticons finding out since, well, don't interact with them near as often. So, yeah, you plan is better, I admit that."

Knockout chuckled just a bit at that "And I avoid hand prints on my hood this way as well." he said, only partly serious. "But you need food first if the sound your stomach was making earlier says anything. I have some human currency on me, need it once in a while, so I can get you something to eat, just let me know where and. . ." he leveled a long finger at her then, his voice a little more serious "Don't spill anything in my alt mode." he said before relaxing again once more. He mostly had human money around because, well, he had to have some way to buy drinks when he picked up a lady for a one night fling, so it was certainly a good thing to have some human cash on hand.
