Soundwave’s POV

“Soundwave, have you locked onto (C/N)’s location?”

With a shake of my helm I combed through every ounce of data to try and locate (C/N)’s whereabouts but it’s almost like she fell off the face of this planet. Though shortly after retrieving Starscream it is unclear who may have (C/N); Autobots or MECH?

“Starscream you’re not fully repaired!” Knockout ran in.

“I don’t care! My Lord please! (C/N) was taken by the Autobots, I swear it!”

“You were supposed to be watching her!”

“It was an accident! All I know is that she fell through the ship and then she vanished! When I searched for her I discovered that she was ambushed by the Autobots and all that was left was a pool of blood!”

Blood? She was injured before? What in the name of Primus happened on that ship?

“(C/N)—communicated—with us.”

“Yes,” Megatron confirmed. “(C/N) was able to communicate back to the Nemesis to call for a ground bridge and that is when we found you lying in a pile of scrap! Clearly she was not captured!”

“B-but I was attacked by MECH! Blindsided! I never knew that (C/N) returned nor do I know how she even got there!”

“Silence! If (C/N) is still out there we will find her…even if I have to rip this good for nothing pit of a planet apart piece by piece.”

“Let me go back and find more clues! Please!”

“Since when do you care about the well-being of another Starscream?” Knockout inquired.

“Shut up! You know nothing!”

Must they continue their useless game of bickering back and forth while I work my aft off to locate (C/N). Usually Megatron does not care to waste resources to rescue our own, but (C/N) is different. Possibly he holds some ounce of affection for his sparkling, but I have no time to figure it out. (C/N)’s safe return is all that matters right now.

“Soundwave, use all efforts to find (C/N)! No one rests until she is found!”

“Under—stood.”

(C/N)’s POV

“Nnn…”

“Silas, she’s waking up.”

“W-where…am I?”

“Hello (C/N), nice for you to finally awaken,” a deep voice greeted.

Opening my eyes I was met with the blurry vision of multiple humans staring at me. Blinking a few times I cleared my vision to see all of the MECH soldiers clearly and Silas was staring me straight in the face.

“Ya know, a tic tac would be really help that dragon’s breath of yours,” I joke. “Woke me up immediately.”

“Funny how you can manage to joke while you’re at my mercy, and my expense.”

“Expense eh? What am I to you, I just stumbled upon a wreck while camping.”

“Nice try, but I know your secret, those red eyes are not contacts I’ve checked,” he paced in front of me. “We’ve been tracking you for some time now and it’s quite interesting to see a human running with some robot aliens, or should I say Decepticons.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Now is not the time to play dumb, now tell me the location of your Cybertronion friends.”

“…”

“Hmph, silence will do you no good. You may die here, slowly and painfully, but eventually I will get the information I want.”

“In my experience, those who talk a big game are really hiding their fear. So just wait, I may not talk but the next Decepticon you meet will show you no mercy.”

SLAP!

“You are in no position to be threatening me,” he growled. “You will talk one way or another.”

I spit blood in Silas’ face causing him to reel back in disgust. Though painful I tried to struggle against these restraints that held me to the metal slab but pain in my left arm dulled my advances. If I remember correctly, June said that I had broken my radius which I am assuming is in my arm. Why am I only feeling it now?

“Boys, show her how we welcome newbies.”

“Do your worst,” I sneer.

*~Time Skip~*

Soundwave’s POV

Days have gone by and I still have not found a location on (C/N) and my spark is getting restless. Thankfully, my visor hides the emotions coursing through my cables and I was able to hide how much I’m worrying about (C/N) especially since we’ve been hiding our relationship from Megatron. I could only think about the number of punishments he would do to me if he knew what we were doing together.

“Soundwave?” Megatron entered the bridge. “Any progress?”

Solemnly I shook my helm; it’s an answer that neither of us want to hear. Tension built again from the ever growing dread, and what also didn’t help was—

“Has your worthless communications officer found anything?!” Starscream shrieked.

“The only thing worthless around here is you!” Megatron accused. “I give you one simple task to watch (C/N) knowing that she can easily be squashed by a pede or even killed by humans! How can you fail such a SIMPLE task?!”

“Do you truly believe that I wanted to lose her! I stayed behind to look for (C/N)!”

“You expect me to believe that when you’re well known for your treachery!”

“I would never sacrifice (C/N) for anything, even to be leader of the Decepticons!”

Hm? What is with Starscream’s constant concern for (C/N)? I don’t believe that he has affections for her as I do it seems more as if he has…a carrier’s concern. Strange; it might be something I should research later after I locate (C/N). The longer this takes, the higher the chance is for something to happen to (C/N) or worse. I won’t allow it to happen.

Suddenly, a strange coded communication link appeared on the screen. Coding a cloaking signal I received the incoming message while motioning for Megatron to notice.

Incoming message.

“Decepticons?” Silas’ picture shown on the screen.

“Silas,” Megatron growled.

“No use in trying to locate this link, we’ll have moved by the time you figured it out. But keeping this short I have something you want and you have technology that I want.”

“You filthy human—”

“Silence,” Megatron warned Starscream. “What makes you think that I want anything from you?”

“So you’re saying that this human girl doesn’t belong to you?” Silas smirked.

A live video feed showed up and there hung (C/N) by her wrists by chains. The sight of her beaten body made my energon levels rise. I took no stops to decode this connection to find her. Megatron took notice of my quick work and decided to play along to keep Silas talking long enough.

“What use do I have for a worthless human?”

“This human who we’ve been tracking belongs to you does she not? We have enough evidence for clarity, but I want to know how important she is to you.”

That’s when a masked human swung and punched (C/N) in the stomach. Surprisingly she made no sound; instead she looked up to glare at the man and spit some fluid in his face. Megatron held his normal unfaltering stature even though it physically bothered Starscream to watch this.

“Lively one she is,” Silas commented. “Though right now she seems to finally accept defeat.”

“Frag you slagtard!” (C/N) shouted.

“Strange she’s still awake. (C/N)’s much stronger than I anticipated; but if she’s worthless to you then she’s served no purpose and she will be disposed of.”

Megatron again didn’t answer while Starscream was squirming giving away that (C/N) was actually important to the Decepticons. Just as I was able to break the code and upload a tracking virus into their system a few men surrounded (C/N); she swung out to kick them in their faces then wrapped her leg around another mans neck and he struggled to get free but

(C/N) was able to twist his neck around and we heard a sickening crack. The human dropped to the floor dead while she squirmed against the last one who drew a knife on her but somehow she maneuvered out of the way and bit the man’s arm.

“Gahh!”

“Restrain her soldier!”

“Rahh!!”

She dug deeper holding on as much as she could until she suddenly widened her gaze. The wounded soldier fell back while
(C/N) hung there with something protruding from her side.

“No!” Starscream shrieked.

“Well things are turning around,” Silas laughed. “She doesn’t have much time left. I’ll send you the coordinates and you will bring me one of your soldiers for examination. Any funny business, and I’ll put a bullet in (C/N)’s head myself and send you her corpse.”

The video cut out and I had already opened a ground bridge to send Lazerbeak to track MECH’s location and movements.

“Starscream, Soundwave,” Megatron bellowed.

Both of us looked to him, his claws clenched and his optics raging.

“Gather the flyers be at the ready to terminate all on site. Soundwave, infiltrate their base and retrieve (C/N) then take her to a human hospital for immediate care.”

“Yes my Lord,” Starscream growled.

Megatron turned to face us.

“Show MECH no mercy!”

“With pleasure!” Starscream ground his talons.

(C/N)’s POV

“Sir, coordinates have been sent. They should approach any minute.”

“You’re wasting your time,” I grunted.

“What was that?” Silas approached me.

Blood dripped from the corner of my lip and dripped down my chin. Maybe it was the blood loss but I felt like poking Silas more.

“Megatron,” I chuckled, “they won’t come. Decepticons…we don’t come for our own. Like you mercenary humans,” I lifted my head to look Silas in the eye, “you’re expendable.”

Silas reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife in my side and began to slowly twist it.

“You would do well to hold your tongue because remember,” he twisted a little harder, “I hold your life in my hand.”

I used all of my strength to not whimper in pain, as much as I was hurting I won’t let him defeat me. Suddenly, in the distance there was a slight fluttering…Lazerbeak?

“Look at me when I’m talking to you!”

Silas grabbed my face until we were but a mere inch from each other. Ah, the stare-down; Megatron is better at this and I’ve had YEARS of training for it. Silas’ half stare is almost laughable. In the distance I saw a red gleam and my heart began to beat with hope.

“Go suck a spike you subatomic aft!”

CRASH!

Soundwave landed through the ceiling crushing equipment as he landed. Lazerbeak opened fire on the masked men while Soundwave headed straight for me quickly knocking him to the side. He cut the chain and I fell into the arms of Soundwave’s holoform. Holding me close Soundwave ran out of the line of fire and pulled his own gun shooting nearby men.

Surprisingly, Soundwave was able to handle carrying me and gunning down oncoming humans; how I’m too delirious to figure out.

“Stay awake, just a little longer,” he muttered into my ear.

“I knew you’d come…”

The sound of jets swooped down and opened fire blowing up everything in their path.

“Starscream…?”

“Yes.”

Soundwave opened some door and I was placed down on a seat.

“W-where?”

A pair of hands cupped my face and lips came into contact with mine in a hasty kiss. Soundwave pulled away and shut the door.

“Hang on sweetspark! It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!”

Knockout sped off down the dirt road while I struggled to stay awake.

“Hey stay awake don’t fall asleep!” Knockout tapped my cheek.

“I’m…trying….where are we going?” I looked around deliriously.

“To a human hospital. Unfortunately, I’m not educated in human medicine so I’m not going to try to heal you possibly killing you.”

“How? I’m not—”

“Just stop talking and stay awake! Save your strength for later because Megatron is not happy!”

“I’ll bet,” I half smirked while closing my eyes.

“Hey! Hey! Don’t fall asleep!”

“So..tired…”

“(C/N)! (C/N)!”

Starscream’s POV

“Humans?! You took her to humans?! Humans tried to kill her!” I exclaimed.

“I didn’t have a choice!” Knockout yelled back. “I’m not trained in human anatomy or healing! She would’ve died if she came back to the med bay! I don’t know about you but I wasn’t willing to take the chance of Megatron ripping out my spark if (C/N) died!”

“What is the point of having a medic if you’re not useful?!”

“Starscream!” Megatron bellowed on comm link.

“Ah, yes master?”

“Stop lingering in the med bay and report to the bridge!”

“Eh…yes my liege. You’re lucky Knockout.”

“Just go I’m tired of your screaming.”

Storming out of the med bay I made my way back to the bridge to see Megatron alone.

“Where is Soundwave?” I ask.

“With (C/N).”

“What?! Why is he with her?! And how is he with her?!”

“Calm yourself Starscream, Soundwave has a holoform and he has information that he developed to give (C/N) an identity so humans won’t ask questions.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about! Soundwave is getting too close to (C/N) and now you’re trusting him with her!”

“Starscream! I am not in the mood for your complaining!” Megatron towered over me. “(C/N) nearly died in a matter of days and you’re complaining that I’ve placed a well trained officer with her to protect her something you couldn’t do!”

“Why did you even call me in here to berate me when my—your sparkling—is clinging to life in a HUMAN hospital with a mech who’s clearly interested in her?!”

“Because for one, I trust Soundwave more than I trust you and second I want confirmation that all of MECH suffered painful deaths! So you will go back to the site with a small team and finish off any loose ends.”

“Fine…aren’t you the least bit worried about her? Especially when she’s with that silent freak?!”

Megatron shut his optics and slumped his shoulders but an inch, “In regards to Soundwave, again I trust him. However with recent events involving (C/N)’s capture, yes you have no idea Starscream how worried I was. None at all.”

“Well that’s somewhat a relief.”

I turned around to activate a ground bridge to head back to the MECH site.

“Be careful Megatron, your spark is showing.”

“Just get out of here!”

(C/N)’s POV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Opening my eyes I took in that I was no longer in some warehouse but in a room with a bright light. Looking nearby I saw Soundwave’s holoform working on a data pad and wearing…everyday clothes?

“Did Knockout help you find regular clothes?” I whispered.

He snapped his head up then stood up coming near the bed and gently touching my face with his hand.

“How are you feeling?”

I gave him a weak smile, “You’re here, you saved me.”

“I’ll always find you.”

Trying to move my hand proved to be difficult. Not only did it hurt to move but now my left arm was bound by some hard cocoon like material and multiple bandages covering my body. My side felt heavily compressed, probably binding the stab wound.

“Be honest, I look terrible don’t I?”

“For someone who underwent battle, interrogation, and torture, you look beautiful.”

“You’re a lot more sentimental now. It’s nice.”

“I almost lost you, being that you’re a human I…feel more protective.”

“It’s okay to say it Soundwave, Megatron isn’t around.”

“Doesn’t make me less fearful of what he may do when he finds out.”

“You sound like you regret it.”

“No,” he shook his head, “I only concern about the consequences of pursuing my leader’s offspring. Though I’ll accept them gladly.”

“Let’s not talk about consequences I’ve had enough of those for one day.”

“A few days actually—”

“Point is,” I grunted, “I just want to relax now and not think about reporting to Megatron.”

Sighing he nodded while leaning over to kiss my head.

“Question? How were you able to get me into the hospital.”

“Soundwave is superior,” he smirked.

“Can Soundwave be amazing, and find a way for us to maybe take a vacation from being Decepticons? Just you and me? I’m kind’ve tired of being shot at.”

His warm hand caressed my bruised face, but his touch was soothing almost numbing the pain I felt.

“I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, you need to get your strength back by getting some rest. These human doctors seem to know what their doing from this standpoint, though I wish we didn’t have to rely on help from another inferior species.”

“Let’s insult them after I’m out of the hospital.”

“Do you need anything?”

“Nah, I’m just glad to be back. I do hope I’m in here for a while so I don’t have to hear Starscream’s nagging.”

Soundwave’s lips turned up into a small smile, very slight but it was enough for me to see. He pulled his chair closer to the bed and he grasped my hand in his showing me the comfort I needed.

“On a serious note please get some rest because I can only hold Megatron off so long until he demands your presence back on the Nemesis and away from humans. He insists on you being back as soon as possible, pretty much immediately.”

“He’s so dramatic.”

“Starscream is rubbing off on him.”

“Haha—ouch! Laughing hurts!”
