((September 5th, 2027, 9:48pm local time, just outside Chicago, IL)) Laserbeak and his twin brother Buzzsaw had been scouting around for something interesting to do ever since Soundwave had sent them out in mid August, but now the avian pair were getting rather bored. They sat perched on a dark ridge line in one of the large trees there, watching the city with mild disinterest. ~"This planet grows tiresome by the day..."~ Laserbeak complained with a frustrated vent. He then turned his head and looked at his brother, admiring Buzzsaw's violet metal plumage and markings that matched his own deep red ones. Those markings were the only way the twins could be identified one from the other, aside from the fact that Buzzsaw was the quieter of the two. ~"Our Master bids us watch, so we watch."~ the black and purple serpentine avian answered with a soft hiss, hunkering down on his branch like a vulture waiting for something to wander past and die. Laserbeak scooted over closer to his twin brother and nuzzled his shoulder affectionately. ~"I know a way we could help the time pass more... enjoyably..."~ he purred in Buzzsaw's audio receptor. Twin brothers though they were, they did not shy away from a mutual interfacing together when there was nothing else to do. Besides, there was no one else around for the time being. Buzzsaw turned his head and licked under Laserbeak's chin, making the black and red avian shiver with delight and begin to entwine his half snake half bird like form with that of his brother's. They didn't get far into their overtly carnal expression of affection towards each other when Buzzsaw suddenly turned his head, picking up the sound of someone approaching, which quickly caught Laserbeak's attention as well. ~"Oooooh, sssomeone's going to die for that..."~ Laserbeak hissed darkly in response to having his intimate moment with his brother interrupted. ~"Agreed..."~ Buzzsaw replied, arching his wings and lowering his head in an attack posture. The pair were plenty ready to pounce on whomever had dared approach their hidden position. Perhaps they would feast on destruction after all.

Cira was jogging along, humming to a little tune she was listening to via her phone through her headphones, half dancing, half jogging. She was in a good mood, and had just finished a long day of flight instruction with several of her students at a nearby airport. After a good meal and a break, she was heading home, walking this time around. Sometimes KITT would pick her up, but sometimes they gave each other space. She shuffled along, straight under the tree which Laserbeak and Buzzsaw were interfacing upon. Cira was looking more forward than up and around, and she had failed to notice a shimmer of metal or movement in the trees. She was in her own little world, and unfortunately she was not as alert as she often was.

As she jogged past, Laserbeak hissed darkly and pushed off the branch, arching up and over to land several feet in front of her as his brother Buzzsaw dropped down behind her, stalking towards her menacingly. "Where do you think you're going, fleshy?" the red and black one cooed darkly, flicking his forked glossia like a snake. That was when the black and purple one behind her spoke, more to his twin than to her. "I've never tasted fleshy before... I hear they're soft and... tenderrrrr..." he purred suggestively in a slightly deeper voice than the other one, still in a lewd though somewhat violent mood as he rose up behind her, arching his neck over her shoulder and spreading his broad wings out to either side as if to surround her. The implied suggestion and the sensation he felt over their shared sibling bond made Laserbeak tilt his head thoughtfully for a moment. "Hmmm... a little play before death?" he asked, then a shiver seemed to roll through his frame, starting at his head and flowing down his serpentine chassis and out over his wings. "I like the sound of that." he added and stalked towards her, head down and forward, his wings spread wide and arched as if ready to pounce.

Her eyes glanced right to left quickly as her peripherals detected the two metallic brids. {"BURDS?"} Cira tucked away her headphones into her light backpack she was carrying, having sensed their movement thanks to her peripherals once they were moving past either side of her - but only then did she notice because she wasn't looking up. {"What the...? Decepticon birdies?"} Well THIS was certainly new. Cira stopped immediately and a foot stepped backwards, she was ready to turn around or flee another direction as soon as they might try to charge her. "Um, heh, sorry yall, I was just passin through...Didn't see ya up in the tree, was lookin ahead, ya know...I'm sorry fer disturbing yer peace, was on the move."
Well, at least she wasn't completely weapons-less today....

"Oh, running away will not be necessary, pretty fleshy." the black and purple one said over her shoulder, "Or possible." the black and red one added as he stalked forward. "Where are you going in such a hurry, we only want to play with you." he offered, then added, "Though I must inform you, we do tend to play rough." At that moment both avians pounced in an effort to pin her down beneath them. "Don't worry, pretty, we won't hurt you yet, we want to enjoy you before we kill you." the black and purple one purred suggestively then.

Cira reflexively rolled to the right, using her shoulder and performing the roll on one side so her pack didn't make her back uncomfortable. Her clothes however, get snagged by Buzzsaw since he was behind her and she had planted a left leg back momentarily. Oops. Light scratches exposed on her upper arm and legs from the metallic bird's appendages. "Unfortunately y'alls, I'm not here fer that kinda fun, always hustlin! But I guess I can make time for it." she withdraws one of her wrist blades and pivots into a right neutral stance, and jabbed a long wrist blade at Laserbeak's nearest side. The blade glinted in the light of the nearest light post, giving off a unique glow as it shot outwards with a light metallic click.

Laserbeak hissed and flapped his wings to get away from the blade that had suddenly appeared in her hand, though not without receiving a small cut across his shoulder for the effort. Buzzsaw was a bit luckier as he caught hold of her leg in one set of talons, then reached for her weapon wielding arm with his sharp beak as he brought his other taloned foot up to grab at her hip. "Feisty fleshy, but not for long." Laserbeak taunted before lurching opposite her blade to help his twin brother bring her down. All they had to do was disarm and pin her, then they could toy with her all they wanted. At least, that was the plan, anyway.

Cira growled and unsheathed the other wrist blade as Buzzsaw grabbed for her left side, striking out at the area between the talons full speed, and her arms were quite often very speedy and reflexive. "Let's see just how long, longer than most I bet!" she pivoted a little then to jab up at Laserbeak's face, hoping at least one of the blades would hit one of the two birds. She always carried at least one of her pistols on her in her backpack, so if she got at least enough space between them to get them out, she might be able to get them to back off. But this was if only she had a chance to get to one of them.

Buzzsaw screeched in pain as one of her blades sliced up his leg, forcing him to let go and pull away, though he kept one set of talons clenched tightly around her leg as she tried to slash at Laserbeak. The black and red avian let out a vicious hiss and ducked around her arm before lunging in at her from the side and behind, talons leading. "Ooooohhh you'll pay for that, little fleshy!" he hissed darkly and snapped his head forward, aiming for the back of her neck with his sharp beak. Buzzsaw followed Laserbeak's lead, reaching out to grab her offending hand at the wrist with his own beak, intending to crush it soundly for cutting him while his brother attempted to immobilize her completely.

Cira's right eye twitched at being called "little", she was rather sensitive to the word. Even more importantly, her neck was being targeted! Oh how she HAAAATED that! She practically freaked out in a highly spontaneous manner, ducking low and pivoting around in a spin on a heel with the rear leg and the toes with the fore leg, and basically each became their opposite position. Though her fore arm would receive a bit of damage, it was protected by the leather wrapped around her arms which held the base of the blades inside at the top. Her elbow near her rear leg had moved up with her pivot straight up towards the open targeting her neck and carried the motion with the forearm, striking up and out with the blade towards as much of Laserbeak as she could get with that foot long blade.
Cira felt the sharpness of the pressure from Buzzsaw's metal beak as her arm moved towards herself for the moment before lashing out at a horizontal angle towards him again. She then stepped back and flipped twice to get some distance, then once she regained her posture, she began to run with all the might she had, just long enough to remove the backpack from her shoulders and get out her weapons...hopefully it would be enough time.

Both avians screeched as she lashed out at them, Laserbeak catching the blade across the front of his right shoulder as she pivoted around, forcing him back with a shriek of pain and anger, while Buzzsaw received a slice along the left side of his jaw and neck, though it wasn't too deep. Forced to let go, the twins recoiled and circled wide in different directions as she ran, charging hard after her, Buzzsaw left and high, Laserbeak to the right and low. The pair was determined to kill her now, abandoning the 'fun' they had intended at first. Both birds were enraged and wanted to taste blood. At the last moment, Laserbeak launched himself forward, left, and up while Buzzsaw arched over, to the right, and down, the pair switching places in a spiral around her in an attempt to get their lethal talons on her and tear her apart.

Cira could run fast for such an average-sized woman, and so her legs were burning like mad from adrenaline as she propelled herself forward once she gained a little distance - though it wasn't for long. Her heart was pounding in her ears. If this worsened, she would have to call on Jazz or KITT, and it was likely KITT was closest since he was always keeping his scanners on her, even at work when flying.
But she was determined to take care of this little problem herself, and not get killed. The worst that could happen was death, and if it wasn't her time then she would know soon enough. She always carried weapons on her, and being prepared as such was always a huge benefit when you worked around aliens on a fairly regular basis. Cira knew her chances of survival were about 50/50, maybe 60% right now, but thanks to her Parkour knowledge, she was determined to get out of this herself. And adrenaline sure was helping at this point. She wouldn't have too many extra rounds available because they were all in her backpack, but thank goodness her .45 caliber pistols carried 13 rounds in each.
13 was a rather unlucky number. As was 3. But Cira wasn't bothered by that right now-she knew how to conserve her bullets when she needed to.
Taking both pistols out one at a time as she ran, she ditched the backpack and kept her blades out. Taking off the safety mechanism, she managed to do so just barely in time when the angry Cybertronian birds. The blades might catch them if the bullets didn't. She fired once at each of them as her arms whipped back out, one high, one low. Cira was lethal with both weapons in operation, and she wasn't exactly happy about being attacked either. "Let's play Angry Birds! And I'ma angry rotorhead!" she growled after the shots went off in their ears/receptors.

As Laserbeak came up and to Cira's left from low and right, the round fired in his direction went straight through the VTOL wing fan in his right wing, making him screech on pain and recoil from her just short of his talons grabbing her, turning his wounded wing away from her protectively as he hissed and spat angrily at her. His twin Buzzsaw fared better however, as he came down and behind her, the bullet barely grazing past his hip as he continued around, slashing out at her back first with his talons, then with his tail blades which had a longer reach than his claws did. The pair were determined to kill her one way or another, and as the black and violet bird slashed out at her, his black and red twin lunged in again at her, razor sharp beak snapping under and behind her arm as she swung past him.

Soundwave had been watching the confrontation from his usual lofty perch, frowning inwardly at the avian twins and their belligerent and wasteful attack on the human that happened upon them. Thankfully his drone was in the vicinity, a somewhat smaller ground based version of himself he utilized as necessary, staying on the move as much as possible. The drone was only about the same size as Bumblebee, only 16.5 feet tall compared to his full 22 foot height, but it was effective enough for his purposes, and it kept his real self out of harms way.
The silver 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG sped up the road to the ridge where Laserbeak and Buzzsaw were fighting the apparently well armed and well trained human female. As he drew near, the silver high end sports car transformed, arching and turning his frame from wheels to handstand to standing upright and stepping forward easily as if walking across a room with near effortless grace. With a few short and deeply resonant tones from his internal systems, the twin avians retreated from the human female, Buzzsaw flying up to perch on the silver mech's shoulder as Laserbeak bounded over, unable to get aloft very far with a damaged wing. He reached down and Laserbeak climbed up onto his arm.
With an unreadable look at the human, Soundwave recognized her as one connected to the Autobots, but she was not a target of consideration, at least not yet. He saw no point in killing her and decided in those few moments to simply leave her be. Without a word to her, he turned away, carrying his twin avian symbiotes with him. Laserbeak hissed a protest in their resonant electronic toned Cybertronian language, but quickly quieted down with a brief yet deep electronic growl from the much larger silver mech as Buzzsaw looked back at her over his arched wings, hunkered down on his Master's shoulder.

She heard the car approaching, and panicked for a bit in those moments. Buzzsaw was quicker than her. As she pivoted around, he was already diving for her back. She had shot at nothing then, when Soundwave swiftly came to pick them away from their prey. For a moment, she thought she had been looking at Jazz, but knew that it wasn't the instant Buzzsaw was interrupted.
Cira's back was temporarily to him, she crouched and winced as the stinging sensation shot up her back. She had heard some of the fabric tear. Though the cut wasn't as long as it could have been thanks to her turning around quicker than she could have, it was still a nice gash and would leave a scar after proper stitching. It emerged on her upper back near the spine - uncomfortably close.
She saw stars for a bit. "Damn." Cira muttered, still gripping her guns as she rested there. Luckily, the pain wasn't enough to knock her out, though the cut was definitely a decent one. Cira then glanced back at Soundwave and turned around as she heard one of the birds hiss menacingly. Were they symbiotes then? "Least 'Cons know ta stay outta trouble when they wanna."
Cira walked over to her backpack briskly and zipped it back shut, putting away just one of the guns for the moment until she cleared the area, if this Con would let her. From his body language so far, it looked like he was giving her a chance to leave, and she would take it. No need to be stupid and try to take on three with the limited ammo she had, and technically he helped her live.
She then decided on which method of communication to use for calling KITT to pick her up, and decided texting was best for now, so she took out her phone and turned away, glancing Soundwave briefly as she typed with a thumb before starting to walk once the text was sent.
