Starscream weakly got up off of the floor. This was just one of those days for the seeker. The other Decepticons quickly looked away when Starscream looked at them. Scowling, Starscream marched towards the medibay. Upon arriving at said place, Hook looked up at the recently injured seeker. The medic sighed and pointed to a berth as he got his tools. Starscream sat down, barely noticing when Hook pushed him down into a slanted position.

"Man, he got you good this time Starscream," Hook said. "What was it for this time?"

"Blitzwing messed up on a mission and blamed it on me," said Starscream, slightly wincing. "I wasn't even on the mission. Something about wrong information or some other slag."

"He must really enjoy beating the slag out of you. This is the twentieth time in two weeks I've had to repair you," said Hook. "I can tell you right now that seeker wings are hard to work with. So many delicate wires and sensors."

Hook carefully welded the wing back into place. Starscream moved them a bit and got up to leave. Hook watched the seeker leave with a slight limp. The medic sighed and glanced at the ceiling. He prayed to Primus that the seeker would be alright.

Starscream glared at his trinemates when he passed by them in the hall. They didn't even seem to notice him. Starscream made it to his room and laid down on the berth, staring at the ceiling, coming up with a plan to make Megatron not harm him. A plan came to the seeker's mind.

"That's it. Just need to make sure that it doesn't fail," Starscream said to himself. "I'll put it into motion tomorrow."

~~~ next day

"Lord Megatron, please listen to me. It can work," Starscream pleaded before he got backhanded into a monitor.

"Speak quickly," Megatron growled, grabbing Starscream by the neck.

"We capture Prime and then execute him later. He's already weakened from all the battles. Knowing him, he puts his troops before him for repairs," Starscream gasped, prying at the fingers around him. Megatron let Starscream fall to the ground.

"How do we know that it won't fail?" asked Megatron.

"We get all of the Autobots out of their base. Prime will be so weak, their medic won't let him go," Starscream quickly explained. "Please just let this happen. I'll go get Prime myself."

"If this fails, I will kill you," Megatron growled. "Go get him."

Starscream watched all but Prime and the medic leave the Ark. He went down to the entrance and crept inside. He looked around the corner to find Optimus on a med. berth with an energon drip connected to him. Ratchet had his back turned to the Autobot leader.

"I swear you are worse than the twins at times," Ratchet said.

"The others needed their repairs first," Optimus protested.

"And after they were done you never even came to me," said Ratchet. "One of these days Prime, you'll end up captured or dead."

"Got that right medic," said Starscream and snuck in.

Optimus offlined his optics and audios so that he could think, and not hear Starscream come closer with Ratchet ranting. It wasn't until he felt something bind his wrists together, and dragging him off of the med. berth that Optimus onlined his optics and audios. He saw Starscream holding him prisoner.

"What the slag are you doi- Prime!" Ratchet shouted and grabbed his wrench.

"Let him go Starscream," said Ironhide, who had just walked in.

"Aren't you supposed to be with the others?" asked Ratchet.

"Forgot ma gun in yer office," said Ironhide.

"Back away," said Starscream, null rays pointed at the bound Autobot.

The seeker backed away to the wall and blasted a hole in it, flying away with Optimus. He made it back to HQ and took the energon enforced rope he held. Optimus jerked forward when Starscream pulled. Optimus didn't move.

"Starscream, why are you doing this?" asked Optimus.

"If I don't then I will be killed or raped," Starscream said bluntly. "Most likely killed given how many times Megatron blames me for failure. Just play along. We can speak later."

Starscream jerked on the ropes hard, forcing the bound leader to follow. They walked into the control/throne room. Megatron sat on his throne-like chair. He grinned evilly when he saw the bounded Autobot leader.

"Well done Starscream. You shall be rewarded for you success," Megatron praised. "Take him to the brig and watch him. You are now his guard until execution."

"But... I... fine," Starscream huffed and dragged the prisoner down to a cell. He tied Optimus up inside and locked the door.

"At least he didn't do anything harsh," said Optimus from his spot on the ground.

"True enough Prime. Now I have to sit and watch you," Starscream huffed again. There was a silence among them.

"You know, you aren't like what Skyfire described you as," Optimus pointed out. "He said that you were kind and caring, and a great scientist. Now you seem cruel and unforgiving."

"That's mostly true. I changed shortly after Skyfire disappeared all those years ago. I got kicked out of my home and lost my job. Then Megatron came to me and my brothers and took us in," said Starscream. "We wanted to be Autobots, but they killed many seekers. They even refused us and beat us. We quickly left and licked our wounds. Megatron's way seemed only fair. No one mistreated us because of who we are. I don't know how many more of my kind still lives after an Autobot raid on Vos."

"You still get mistreated by Megatron," said Optimus and looked down. "I wasn't around at that time. I never ordered any attack or cast anyone aside. Surely the ones that did are most likely dead."

"Not all. Some of your men are responsible," said the seeker. "Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Mirage, Hound, and Trailbreaker. They were all part of the attack. Why do you think the twins attack us?"

"Starscream, I am sorry for what happened," said Optimus. "They were my men. I am responsible for everything they do. I deserve whatever happens to me."

Starscream said nothing after that. He crossed his fingers and just stared at the wall. Optimus sighed and shifted a bit. He offlined his optics and groaned in pain. The seeker looked around before entering the cell. Taking out a repair kit, Starscream bent down to examine the wounds, shifting through the kit.

"What are you doing?" asked Optimus.

"Repairing what I can before any torture starts. Megatron wants you alive," said Starscream and worked on them.

"You can always stray from Megatron's path. Come join me with the Autobots. You and your brothers are more than welcome to join," said Optimus.

"How do I know we won't be turned on again? Or that we won't be killed? Show me that you can be trusted Prime," Starscream flared. "I will not allow my brother to die."

"I have always kept my word. I promise you that none of you shall be harmed. Please, trust me," said Optimus.

Starscream didn't know what to do. He finished his work and put the kit away. He looked down at the helpless leader and thought. The SIC weighed the options carefully.

"We shall see Prime. If either one of us gets harmed in any way, I will kill you," Starscream whispered before leaving.

Silence filled the air for another two hours. Soundwave and Megatron came in, startling the poor seeker. The leader walked into the cell and roughly pulled Optimus out. Starscream looked confused.

"Lord Megatron, what are you doing?" the SIC questioned.

"The special treatment begins right now. Soundwave will be doing it while you and I witness it," said Megatron and tossed the rope to Starscream.

"That could kill him. Surely you don't want that," Starscream protested.

"Soundwave will make sure Prime does not die," Megatron sneered.

Starscream looked up at the taller bot and sighed. He waited for Megatron and Soundwave to leave before talking.

"I'm sorry Prime. There isn't much I can do," Starscream whispered and dragged the bounded Autobot leader.

Megatron watched as Soundwave got things ready. He turned to the door as Starscream walked in with the prisoner. Soundwave stood by waiting silently. Megatron tossed Optimus to the floor at Soundwave's pedes. Optimus groaned softly and looked up at the communications officer. Soundwave reached down and grabbed Optimus by the throat, hoisting him up. The Autobot was shoved onto a onto a lab berth and strapped down tightly around the wrists, knees, ankles, abdomen, and throat. Optimus struggled to break the bonds, watching Megatron the entire time. The Decepticon leader walked over to a control panel and pressed a button.

The energy bond around Optimus' throat tightened, causing him to choke. He struggled to free his hands so that he could loosen the pressure. Optimus gasped for air and looked eye to eye with Starscream. Slowly, the leader stopped struggling. Megatron released the button and the bond loosened. Optimus greedily took in air. Soundwave just ignored and gagged the Prime after manually retracting the mask. Many wires were strapped to the frame in different places. A soft hum filled the room.

Megatron nodded and his arch nemesis screamed loudly as he was shocked with high voltage. Smoke started to rise out of seems and cracks in the Prime's body. Starscream couldn't bare to watch any of it. He smelt the smoke and swiftly looked up.

"Soundwave, cease torture! You're going to kill him!" Starscream shrieked loudly.

Soundwave didn't listen. The seeker leader rushed over and unplugged the machine. The torture ceased and Starscream sighed. He went over to Optimus and removed the gag and bonds.

"Prime, if you are still alive, then move or speak," Starscream ordered.

Optimus didn't respond or move. Starscream waved his hand in front of the prisoner and got the same results. He slapped the Prime and got nothing. Finally, Starscream grabbed a tube and forced it down Optimus' throat. He pumped air into the frame and pounded on his chest. Optimus gasped and turned to face the seeker. Starscream pulled the tube out and looked at Megatron. The warlord looked back with shock.

"I suggest that there will be no more torture. He just about die and you want him alive. In three weeks, he'll be dead. Savor that you got Prime and there is nothing the Autobots can do," said Starscream.

"Take him back to his cell," Megatron ordered.

Starscream nodded and watched as Megatron and Soundwave left. He heaved the Autobot up and onto a portable gurney. Optimus yelped quietly in pain as he was moved. Starscream looked him over as he took him to the brig. Once inside of the cell, Starscream took out some medical things. Optimus tried to keep quiet as he was repaired. Starscream muttered an apology and swiftly worked.

"I've been thinking Prime. If we set you free, then my brothers and I will be safe in your hands. Do you promise that we won't be treated differently or harmed?" asked Starscream when he finished.

"I promise that you will not be harmed or unfairly treated. Any that do will not go unpunished," Optimus promised. Starscream looked deeply into his optics, and found truth.

"I will come up with a way to get you out of here," said Starscream and closed the cell. Optimus got up and touched Starscream's arm. "Why do you care what happens to me? You allowed me to capture you freely."

Optimus mustered up all his courage before staring the Prince deeply in the eyes. He retracted his mask and pulled Starscream to him. The Autobot kissed Starscream softly. Starscream didn't pull back. Instead he kissed Optimus back.

"I care because I love you," Optimus answered after breaking the tender kiss.

"I have loved you too Prime," Starscream whispered.

The Prince opened the cell. He closed it after going in. He embraced his lover as they kissed again. Optimus sat down on the berth and pulled Starscream to him.

"I trust you," said Starscream.
