Chapter One: Mending His Wounds

"Starscream would you hold still for one blasted second! Starscream! I swear if you don't lie still I'm gonna duck tape you to this damn table!" I warned him as I tried, but failing, to fix his wounded body.

"I'm perfectly fine, let go damnit!" Starscream struggled to get up off the medical table but was forced back down by Moonstar.

"Don't make me get Knockout in here, I'll make him sit on you if you don't lie still and let me work on your wounds." I told him, grabbing a hold of his shoulders and trying to keep him down as I plugged the medical tubes back into him.

Starscream just went and yanked them out again on me.

"That's it! I'm getting Megatron back in here!" I gave up as I turned away from him and headed towards the door. "Maybe another pounding will make you cooperate."

"No Moonstar! I'll be good, I'll let you fix me, just don't bring him back in here." Starscream cried out to her, he tried to push himself off the table to bring her back but collapsed, fear was running through him like a live wire.

I turned around and walked back over to him and picked up my tools and started working on his legs. "Sorry for threatening you like that but this has to be dealt with, you need to be healed and not walking around looking like scrap metal." I explained to him as I slowly bent his right leg back a little to work around the extensions of the knee and calf.

Starscream sighed and stared up at the ceiling, he was cursing Megatron in his head.

I looked up at him; sadden by what had been done. "You didn't deserve this, you know that right?"

Starscream didn't answer me, just kept staring up at the ceiling.

I put my tools down and walked up and around the table till I was looking down at him. "Screamer…look at me." I asked him softly, crossing my arms on the head of the table.

Starscream titled his head back a little more and looked at me, his red optics still showed fear in them.

I gently touch his face, my fingers tracing the line from his brow to his mouth. "You didn't deserve this…" I repeated sadly. "….You never deserve this." My fingers circling his cheek.

"Moonstar…." He said sorrowfully to her, he raised his right hand slowly and grasped her fingers.

We just stared at one another for a couple of moments, Starscream holding my hand and the both of us staring into our optics. I tilted my head to the left and saw something curious.

"You know, from this angle, your brows really need to be cut." I said, completely off topic.

Starscream laughed and swatted my hand away. I grinned at him before leaning over and kissing the top of his head. "That got ya happy."

He snorted at me. "You wanna make me happy, go shove a blowtorch up the tailpipe of the bot that did this to me." He indicated the scene with his hands before randomly flipping off the medical bay doors.

"Uhm….I'm not gonna touch that comment with a ten-foot pole thank you." I said to him as I tried not to laugh at what he was doing.

I walked back around the table and picked up my tools again to start working but was suddenly grabbed by both wrists and pulled forward by Starscream, and the next thing I knew we were lip-locked.

My optics widened and my tools dropped to the floor, and of all times, the Medical Bay doors opened and Knockout came in.

He stopped short the moment he entered. "Uhm…am I interrupting something?" A little confused but also very interested.

I pulled my mouth away from Starscream's and turned my head to Knockout. "Yes! Now get out! OUT!" I ordered him.

Knockout ran out the door. "That's one way of fixing him up…." He muttered as he smirked at Moonstar's medical ways.

Once Knockout was gone I pushed Starscream away. "No kissey till your fixed boy." I told him, picking my tools up that had fallen to the floor.

Starscream laid back down on the table, a big, huge, smile on his face. "I feel much better Doc, thanks."

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Funny, now let me get back to my work so you can actually get back on your feet." I told him, but before I could do that I went over to the doors and called out for Knockout. "Help me with his repair and no its not That type of repair."

Knockout just laughed as he walked in with me and we both started repairing and fixing Starscream.

"Don't worry Screamer, I'll get Megs back for this. Nothing is more fearful then a fembot with a temper." I explained, grinning at him.

Knockout and Starscream nodded in total agreement with her.

"When you do kick Megatron's tailpipe, please video it and show it to me." Starscream asked her.

"I will. Knockout can you take over for me? I gotta go to the Command deck for a bit." I said to Knockout as I put my tools back on the cart.

"Of course Moonstar." He acknowledged as he took over for her.

I leaned over and kissed Starscream's right cheek. "Be a good patient darling." I pulled away and headed towards the doors.

"I always am." He stated to her, smirking.

"Pfff, yeah right." I said back as I left the medical bay.

"Good woman." Knockout said to Starscream when she was gone.

"You have no idea." Starscream said as he touched the spot where she had kissed him.

'You have no idea how good a woman she is...to me at least.'
