Operation: LOVEBIRDS
Breakdown came back to base from yet another failed mission. Once again he was greeted by a very angry Megatron who had called into question his loyalty, further angering the already fuming and exhausted con before finally letting him go back to his quarters. On the way he was stopped by Knockout who had asked earlier if he could run a scan on him to see whether or not he could fix or perhaps more like replace his optic that M.E.C.H had ripped out. He grudgingly agreed. On arriving in the Medbay he spotted Nightshade, Megatron's daughter and Knockout's current assistant, He couldn't quite put his finger on it but every time he saw or spoke to her he got a strange felling in his spark chamber. Though he would never admit it to anyone, he felt slightly attracted to her in a way. He had figured it out a while back when she first did a check up on him, just having her hands on him had made him get a little hot under his armour. He would have to be careful to control himself around her or else Megatron would have yet another reason to pound him into scrap metal. " Hey there Breakdown. What brings you here?" she spoke soothingly, clearing his thoughts and wiping away his aggravation with that one small sentence, but he was so distracted that he didn't realise that not only had he not answered her question but he had been staring at her, "Huh? Um… err Knockout asked me to come for a couple of scans, t-to see if he could do anything for my optic" he said quickly, then slapped himself mentally when he realised he had stuttered. Again. " I do hope you're not getting rid of the patch" she said after a couple of seconds shocking him, "why not?" he asked incredulously, "I really like it" she said with a shy smile, but he was still confused, she liked his patch? Nobody did. It didn't make sense, she must have been making a fool of him and that made him angry again, "look if you're gonna make a fool out of me then at least have the decency to leave my missing optic out of it" he growled though his denta before storming out of the medical bay, leaving one very confused Knockout and one rather upset Nightshade. "woah! What got into him" asked knockout sounding rather amused before he saw the sadness his assistant was showing even through her visor, "what's wrong?" he asked quietly, not wanting to sound overpowering but not wanting her to feel alone either. "I.. I have to go fix something. I will see you tomorrow Knockout, oh! And thank you for helping me with those feelings" she said with a small, forced smile before running out of the Medbay too. He stayed quiet until after she left " no problem Night, any time you need me…." And then he returned to his quarters for some well-earned recharge. He was completely oblivious to what was happening on the other side of the Nemesis…
