The Wings

"Yeah sure, come with us." Madison said, expressing a great measure of cheerfulness in a way that made Optimus respond upon rising up on its feet. 

"You now look happy and I could feel you are a very friendly person, Madison." Optimus declared. She kind of halted and turned to look at Optimus the moment she heard him mention her name on her way up the stairs. 

"Wait! Gabriel, did Optimus just learn to mention my name or you programed it that way?" She was obviously surprised... Gabriel's reply was without hesitation, 

"No, I didn't. But I believe he is configured in a way that makes it prone to learning successfully as any human." Optimus did not hear her because she was right in front of Gabriel and Optimus was way down and about to begin climbing up the stairs because it was analyzing and contemplating on how to get its foot started on the stairs: invariably, Optimus was learning everything like a child and observing everything carefully to know how to approach life. 

"Your dad will be so proud of you when he sees Optimus, I can assure you that! I thought your dad was home? Who was at the door? I forgot to ask." Madison sputtered inquisitively. 

"It was my dad. He actually came home to pick up something and he left in a hurry. It's okay. I hope he'd be proud indeed." Gabriel replied in a muttering manner. 

"Yes, of course he will be proud of you, Gabriel. Take a close at Optimus, he is way advanced and properly designed than those of its kind." Madison said as she turned to look at Optimus again when they all entered the sitting room. 

"Wow! This place is so large and beautiful, and these chairs are lengthy. Wait a minute, did I just hear her say that I have my kind out there?" Optimus asked and walked towards them, away from the front of the large wall fitted television screen where it stood looking at the reflection of itself. 

"No..." Gabriel was about denying it, but Madison interrupted him immediately, with her hand on his left arm, knowing the implications should he lie to Optimus. 

"Yes, yes, Optimus! There are some others like you but they are not nearby, we will have to travel a far distance to see them. Do not worry, I and Gabriel are going to take you round Hanford, California." She sputtered while lowering her eyebrows as she glanced at Gabriel from time to time. 

"Really? That would be great and it sounds like fun to me. I can't wait to meet one of my kind. By the way, this white couch is a lot more comfortable than the chair I was previously sitting on." Optimus muttered, as he kept observing the quality of the couch and bouncing on it with its buttocks time after time for about three minutes from when he first placed his buttocks on it.

"Um... Optimus, please stay here while I go with Madison to my room upstairs. I have something I want to discuss with her privately." Gabriel excusef himself, holding Madison by the hand as they left. Optimus did not worry about them leaving him all alone in the sitting room because he was finding it a thing of fun to be sitting on that couch.

"Gabriel, what is it?" Madison asked with a twisted smile and a wondering eye as if she knew what he had brought her into his room to talk about. 

"You should not have told him there are robots like him out there." He nagged. 

"Why? Huh! Okay tell me, why do you think lying to him was a better option?" She questioned...

"It would have been best to keep it a secret from him because he is just coming to the realization of himself. He may be so curious and get himself in danger, don't you think?" Gabriel replied fighting hard to calm his nerves until her words totally made him think twice. 

"Oh I see! Have you asked yourself, what if you save him from being curious but make him find it difficult to trust you after that? Don't you think he is going to go outside this house and get to see other robot? What do you think his reactions might be? He is surely going to find it difficult to trust you. From the look of things, I do not think he was curious as you think. That alone is enough to make you understand that you have made something beyond the usual. In my opinion, you should be using every slightest chance you've got to get Optimus trust you more than anyone else because you are the one who made him. If someone else does, you might loose your robot. Funny how you created that robot and I am the one understanding it better than you do." Madison specifically advised him in a way that got him to see things in a different light. 

Gabriel reached forth to embrace her and after a little while, they both returned to the sitting room to be with Optimus. To their greatest surprise, Optimus was already serving breakfast on the dining table, calling to them, 

"Master Gab, Madison, you guys are out just in time.... Breakfast is served." 

"What!" Madison exclaimed and Gabriel seconded, saying,

"What! You made breakfast..." Gabriel could not believe his eyes as he hurriedly come close to the dining table, Madison following closely. They were amazed at how good the food Optimus prepared tasted and when they asked, Optimus reply was that he saw a few videos on that subject from the g****e search engine installed within...

Gabriel drove Madison home by himself much later that day and they kept hearing people in the streets talk about the current situation of the state of California and they got to understand that what they saw the previous night, about the demon creatures which according to some has been described as aliens, only show up at night and that it was advisable to stay indoors after seven o'clock every evening. 

Gabriel returned home before his dad did, and when his dad came home, he was already feeling sleepy he had to spend just a few minutes talking with his dad — Winston Gray. 

Gabriel was very much excited about Optimus but he instructed Optimus to stay in the basement until he comes to see him the following day because he was not yet ready to introduce it to his dad. Optimus was pretty much obedient and Gabriel must have programed it that way. Gabriel did procrastinate going to see Mrs. Finn that very day because his dad had instructed him to be sure he stays indoors. He had to return early from dropping Madison at her family house to ensure he obeys his dad. 

It was exactly 07:45AM when Gabriel opened his eyes slowly to feel an unusual strength beyond the natural, he arose with so much excitement without having to feel and to notice there was something else rising up together with him, because he wanted to see Optimus again. He went straight to brush his teeth as usual, when all of a sudden he saw large wings standing behind him and cleaved to his skin exactly the way it were on the angel whom he saw two days ago. 

"Aaahhhhhh! Dad!!!" He screamed...
