A morning with a adhder speedster

It´s at 06:00 A.M., i could stay a little more, but my chest and legs feels overwhelmed. I don´t want to get out of bed, but i have work to do... OH MAN! My hands are cold and warm at the same time... It´s comphy... Let´s just get out of bed please legs, do your thing or whatever. Thanks legs for let me go out from my bedroom.

Everything is so quite in the hallway... please please please... don´t make any noise... don´t wake up the others... I hate the stairs, my legs are still sleepy and i don´t want to wake them up. I said it right? Wake them up, wake up them... wake... wake... oh, i stopped...

-Hm... wake sounds like waka and wakame or wakeme... That seaweed from Animal Crossing...Wait, did i said that loud? Don´t wake them... they are tired from work, college and the hero thing... I want to cry, if i wake them I- Who is in the living room?

Carefully, he approached to the couch and he couldn´t help but smile a little when he saw his formers pattners sleeping. Jaime, Cassie and Gar should have pass out on the couch when they come back from a mission. He thought that maybe they could be cold, it was normal be cold at this hours so he covered them with one of the blankets from the basket near the stairs. Jaime is going to complain a lot for the pain in his spine, neck and back... he pass out again with the armor on. Cassie snoring in her soft way and Gar making poses like a vogue model while he sleep, normal. He smile a last time while his mind was flooded with memories, you can tell that he was falling for them but to him that was normal. Bart can´t tell a lot about his emotions thanks to the alexithymia thing, but he knows when he feel comphy. They feel the same with me? Do i make them feel that too? He look a moment to Jaime and though that he would like to understand his own feelings, it´s confussing. Bullshit, i don´t care about what type of relationship, that happen to them too? Also I can ask them, but not now, later. Sleep well, sweathearts.

It was normal to him ask that type of questions, he wish not, but somedays were more... inexplicable. He started to dissociate in his own thoughts that he didn't even realize he had entered in the kitchen and make some breakfast. In the other side of the kitchen Tim was just watching and debating if he should make Bart comeback or not. Actually, is funny seeing him like that, but, he need to comeback, sorry kid. But sometimes, being a great detective and strategist doesn´t mean always having good ideas, like greeting a person from behind while they are dissociating.

-Hey Bart- Just as Tim´s hand landed on Bart´s shoulder, Bart felt how his heart was going to burst out of his chest as he grabbed his shirt with one hand and grabbed the kitchen counter with the other. His heart and his breath were going so fast, but most important thing: he didn´t screamed so his pals can still sleeping. In this state, he turned his head to see who was behind and he found his friend looking into his eyes as well. They were both like two deer that met a car on the road. They both stifled a laugh.

-Sorry, sorry, I totally forget that- Tim said whispering to iniciate a tone, Bart thanked, he didn´t want to wake them up.

-Don´t mind, don´t mind- Said Bart while moving one of his hands whispering as well . -I should have remember that you are always in the kitchen at this time when you don´t have a mission.- Tim smiled at him and Bart returned the smile. They both share the coffe, Tim always make a lot of coffe, they could open a coffeshop, Bart thought. People uses to think that the caffeine and Bart shouldn´t be friends, but caffeine helps him to relax, something that need it desesperately.

-So, you haven´t slept, have you?

As Tim hear his friend´s question, he sighed while leaving the cup on the table.

-I haven´t, there is this case that it's been keeping me up at night.

-You should to worry less, boy wonder. I´m sure you´ll figurate out, as you always do. And if you can´t because you need some time to relax and think, you can ask for help.

Tim looked and listened. He is good at analyzing and sometimes forget that Bart has that skills too. That´s not new for him, when you have a lack of sleep, the memory is also affected. He didn't wanted to recognize it.

-You are doing it again.

-What i am doing again?- Bart asked confussed, maybe he lose something? Maybe he should start to worry?

-That thing, not looking in the eyes when you said your opinion or trying to help. I know that you can´t control it, but breath, i don´t bite. And if could, i couldn't have the strength to do it.

Bart smirk a little. His friend was right. Maybe the group had problems in the past, but know is different. He comeback to this reality when he heard his friend´s voice.

-Maybe i need to enfocate it from other perspective. My work memory... isn´t working as it has to...- Tim said while rubbing the back of his neck. Bart sigh internally with Tim word´s, he knows how difficult is his friend to convince him about taking some time, so he was glad about what he said, they were worried.

They continued drinking their coffee without saying a word. Tim didn´t have nothing to say and Bart was lost in his thoughs, he didn´t even notice that he was being observed by Tim. Bart mind was fast when he worried about something and he never said nothing, if hefelt like he had nothing to say, he wouldn't say anything. However, his body language was obvious if you payed attention. Maybe Tim was not in his best conditions but a detective is always a detective. He has the itchy ticky fingers. His cheek is resting on the palm of his left hand. With the fingers of that hand he is touching his lobe and the strands of hair bhind it. His gace is lost in the coffe, but his pupil has small movements. His eyes are not full open and in fast moves he looks at the door. His breathing becomes deep and slow... He is worried, but why... Around 3:30 am I heard a sound coming from the living room, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy and Blue Beetle... Maybe... Tim decide to broke the silence.

-Talk to them.

-ExCuSe mE?- Tim let out a malevolic smile, the team found funny broke Bart in that way, it was... cute

-I said, talk to them- Bart didn´t move, he hasn´t talk about this with anyone because for him was shameful. He started to worry about, you can say it thanks for his ticks: hands, legs, jaw tension, silent hiperventiltion, searching with his eyes a way to run away...

-That happens to me too, i mean that things happen. I understand the relation between neurodivergency and alexithymia, but just do it in your way and in your time, just do it so yoy can get use to it. Talk in the way you feel.

-What if he- he stop.- What if they get mad? Please, don´t let him notice

Tim gives a sip of coffe while thinking. He knows Bart, he knows how he worried, he knows how he percieve things, he knows that misunderstood drive him mad, but he need him to stop overthinking.

-Then you have a bad taste in people. He still thinking about his emotions in that way... Like if they are something to apologise for...

Bart died while the coffee was running out of his nose.

Speedsters

===

Ler!Bumblebee

Ler!Longarm (Very Brief)

Lee!Blurr

(I've only found one t-word fic for TFA and that is a damn crime, thus I made this. Blurr is totally a lee because I said so.)

===

"Okay, that's not fair!"

 Bumblebee huffed looking up to see Blurr had already turned around and was waiting impatiently at the finished line.

"What? My speed?"

 Blurr asked sarcastically, not really getting why the younger was so upset.

"You're tires! I don't have those and besides, we agreed. Only robot mode, no helpsies!"

Blurr blinked then lifted his leg up and looked at the tires attached to his heels. He rolled his eyes, placing them back on the ground with a scoff.

"I technically don't have to transform in order to use these, not in any sense. They are a part of my root form which I would argue makes them an exception to the rule, or is it just that you're tired of losing to me because your frame wasn't built with the same capacity as mine. Fast though you may be my models max speed is-"

Blurr paused his rant to rapidly spin his wheels, launching forward without much effort before jumping up onto one of the nearby crates, then looking back down at Bee.

"Self-explanatory."

He finished turning away and preparing to jump off the crate and rush back inside before the golden bot could drag him into another lap, only to feel a servo grip his ankle. He yelped and tripped his upper body leaning off the crate as he turned around to see Bee holding onto his leg just above where his tires were. 

'Oh for-'

"Bumblebee, what-"

"Zippy, we're doing one more lap and these are not coming into play, got it!? I don't want to see them-..."

Blurr blinked as the shorter bot trailed off staring at his tires, Blurr began sitting back up hoping to get Bumblebee off his ankle but halted with a jolt when he felt a finger drag against his tires.

"Actually how do these things even spin, when I touch em' they don't budge but with you..?"

Blurr bit down a smile keeping his head ducked low and out of sight trying desperately to ignore the ticklish sensation running through his wheels. The last thing he wanted was Bee figuring out just how sensitive the area was, Longarm finding out had been humiliating enough.

Blurr tried to pull his leg away from Bee but yanking only wound up dragging the other with him. Blurr launched further off the edge of the crate with Bee being the only thing keeping him from falling off completely by this point. 

'Scrap, this is worse…'

Bee yelled in surprise at the sudden pull before beginning to berate the other over the sudden movement.

"Hey, warn a guy next time! You almost took me down with-"

Bee squeezed the rubber amidst the rant and Blurr just couldn't help it. He jolted and an undignified squeal tore from his voice box.

Bumblebee blinked as Blurr slapped his servos over his mouth in horror, a look of utter terror on his face. Bumblebee looked confused and Blurr felt him climb up onto the crate never releasing his grip on Blurr's legs. 

'Oh no…'

Bee straddled Blurred legs and rested his servos on top of his tires.

'Oh no no no no!'

A gentle squeeze came to the left tire and the reaction was immediate.

"AAAIIEEee!"

Bumblebee smirked and Blurr knew it was too late for him.

"Ticklish Zippy?"

That was the only warning Blurr received before Bee's fingers rapidly wiggled and scribbled across both his tires. Blurr almost screamed in response to the sensation, it wasn't quite at that volume but it was definitely loud. Loud enough that Blurr began to genuinely worry that the others would hear and walk in on this, and that thought was dreadful.

"GyyAAAAHH! N-Naaoho! Bumble- Bu- BeeEEEE! Puh- PleEEEASE!"

Blurr got cut off by a long wheeze as he felt Bee squeeze the warm rubber once more. Blurr pounced his fists against the crate in some futile attempt to get the sensations to stop, meanwhile his legs were firmly pinned down by Bumblebee's weight. Meaning Blurr was utterly trapped, and that made the feeling so much worse.

"Damn Zippy, you've got some pipes on ya'! Y'know you're a lot more fun when you like this, like, laughing instead of being a killjoy."

Blurr wanted to make a snippy remark he really did, but his tires were way too ticklish to allow it. Blurr tried pushing himself up onto the crate again but his body was still confused and weakened by his own laughter. Which made most of his pushes no more than a frantic shoves.

"Sh-shUUUHUT Ihihit! Y-yoOUU- NAAHOO! Stop ihitTT NAHahoow! I- I- I CAHAHAHAN'T!"

Blurr downright screamed when Bee's servos traveled inside of his tires, scratching and prodding at the rubber inside. That was definitely not the worse he'd felt but by the Allspark it was up there! Not knowing what else to do Blurr just frantically twisted his torso around observing his flushed face with servos as shrieking laughter poured out of him like a faucet.

Bumblebee let out an excited giggle (that did not give Blurr much hope in terms of mercy) and dug harder into the rubber, drawing out another high-pitched scream from the blue bot. An absolutely evil grin spread across his faceplates as he turned his head around to see Blurr.

"What's the matter Blurr, can't take a little bit of tickling? Imagine if this got out, the fastest bot on Cybertron can't handle it when his tires are messed with? Oh, you must be real fun during tire changes~"

Blurr couldn't respond through his tortured laughs but Bee heard the beginnings of a "Don't!" in there somewhere, and if Blurr's flushed face was anything to go by, the taunting was making it worse for him. So naturally Bee continued after a bit of brainstorming, and he came up with something down right evil.

"Oh my- Blurr I can only imagine how bad any of Bulkhead's brushes would be for you."

Blurr let out a flustered squeak, before a shrieky, giggly groan filled the air. Blurr gave up on fighting, hanging limp off the side of the crate servos covering his face so Bee couldn't see just how flustered he'd become.

Bumblebee snickered before continuing to brainstorm different ideas.

"Oh, and those feather dusters that humans use. Sponges, you'd really hate electric toothbrushes, they'd get all up in between your tire treads. Classic feathers are the same deal…Bristle brushes would be the absolute worst for you though."

Blurr grew more and more flustered at each tool listed. It really seemed like it couldn't get any worse, but then Bee slowed down. His fingers were still idly tracing over his tires which kept him giggling but now he could actually speak.

Blurr gasped and took in air desperately trying to calm his heated vents. A smile was still hopelessly stuck to his face which he hated, this whole situation was embracing beyond belief.

'At least we're alone out here. If the others saw this I would literally throw myself into the Pits.'

Bee snickered which made Blurr's head snap up quicker than it ever had before.

"I've really only touched your tires so far.."

The golden bot looked back at him with an evi gleam in his optics.

"How sensitive is the rest of ya'?"

Blurr's optics widened as a certain memory wormed its way back into his mind.

…

Longarms fingers dug mercilessly into Blurr's hips drawing out utterly tortured screams. Blurr shoved against the Prime's bulkier build to no avail, his smaller, speed focused model offered little in terms of strength.

No amount of him trying was getting Longarm to budge, forcing him to kick out helplessly. Arms wrapped around his torso, optics squeezed shut, (had he been organic Blurr definitely would've been in tears by now) Longarm merely chuckled above him.

"My, my agent Blurr. I never would've suspected you to be this sensitive, now how about we up the ante?"

Blurr was about to question how this could possibly get any worse before Longarm leaned down. He lifted up Blurr's torso and blew a long drawn out raspberry onto Blurr's waist, his vocalizer shorted out for a brief moment before returning as a long and tortured shriek of hysterical laughter.

…

Oh Pits no.

Blurr yanked his right pede out from under Bumblebee and promptly kicked him in the back. Bumblebee yelled out in pain falling forward off the crate whilst Blurr launched off it backwards. Faster than ever before Blurr raced back inside sooner than Bee could even pick himself up.

Bumblebee just looked back with a shocked look on his face…one that was quickly replaced by a devious grin. Oh, now that was tempting.

1958 Porsche 356 A Coupe

The Porsche 356A (T2) Speedster September 1957 to August 1958 (Carrerra Speedsters continued into 1959)

The last of the 356A Speedsters are probably the most attractive and the most desirable. The 356A (T2) Speedster was introduced in September 1957 and continued until the basic Speedster was replaced by the Convertible D in August 1958 although a number of Carrera, GS and GT Speedsters were produced in 1959.

History:

Ferdinand Porsche and the foundation of the Porsche Company

Ferdinand Porsche was born on September 3rd 1875, in the Bohemian village of Maffersdor. After attending grammar school and Staatsgewerbeschule (State Vocational School) in Reichenberg, he entered his father's metalworking business. The young and imaginative Ferdinand pursued a fascination with electricity working on the design of an electric car and in 1900 The Lohner-Porsche electric car is presented at the World Fair in Paris. Porsche's wheel hub engines brought the young engineer international attention. In the same year, he developed an all-wheel-drive racecar, as well as a hybrid petrol/electric vehicle.

In 1906 Ferdinand Porsche became Technical Director at Austro-Daimler in Wiener Neustadt. At the age of only 31, he became responsible for the model range of one of Europe's largest automotive concerns.

In September1909 Ferdinand's first son, Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche, later known as 'Ferry', was born. In 1910 The Austro-Daimler touring car designed by Ferdinand Porsche scores a triple victory in the Prince Henry Trials.

In 1923 as Technical Director and Board Member of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in Stuttgart, Ferdinand Porsche was responsible for the design of the legendary Mercedes Compressor Sports Car and in the following year, he led the development of the 2-litre racecar won the Targa Florio. The Mercedes-Benz S-Type models dominate international motorsport from 1927.

Professor Ferdinand Porsche 1875-1951

In 1931 Ferdinand Porsche founded the company that bears his name "Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche GmbH" to provide 'engineering and consultation on engine and vehicle design'. Based in Stuttgart the company carried out projects for manufacturers such as as Wanderer, Zündapp and NSU. In 1933 Porsche developed a Grand Prix mid-engined 16-cylinder racecar for Auto Union. He also developed a rear engined compact vehicle concept for NSU.

One year later the Porsche company received an official order for the design and construction of a German 'Peoples Car' or Volkswagen. The prototype was developed and assembled in the garage of the Porsche villa in Stuttgart and was road tested within 12 months At the same time production facilities were being set up for the Volkswagen which was officially called the 'KdF-Wagen'.

In December 1935 Ferdinand Alexander Porsche the first son of Ferry Porsche (and later known as 'Butzi') was born in Stuttgart.

During 1939 Porsche developed 3 racing coupés for long-distance endurance competition. These 'Berlin­Rome-Wagens' could be considered the forerunners of later Porsche sports cars.

He also designed the Mercedes T-80 in1939 to conquer the world land speed record. It was reputed to have a 3000 hp aircraft engine.

Because of the outbreak of the second world war Volkswagen production was diverted towards the military version of the Beetle, the Kübelwagen and Schwimmwagen. Only 1207 Volkswagen KdFs were built between 1941 and 1944

Porsche also designed several heavy tanks but did not get the production contract. Towards the end of the war the Porsche Engineering office moved to the relative safety of Gmünd in the Austrian province of Carinthia.

After the war the Volkswagen factory at Wolfsburg was taken over by the British and Ferdinand Porsche was arrested and imprisoned in France for 20 months.

In 1946 under the direction of Ferdinand Porsche's son Ferry, the Porsche Engineering office became involved in the design of an all-wheeldrive Grand Prix racecar for an Italian industrialist, Piero Dusio.

Ferry Porsche saw a market for a small, light two seater roadster and was unable to find a car in the market that matched his preference. He decided to build a car which became the first 356 and the first sportscar to bear the Porsche name.
