A/N would like to thank nightfury97 for giving Ellen a blanket ;3


Starscreams Dark Intentions, Barricades Intervention

It had been two weeks since Ellen had been taken from earth and she remained in her position ever since, staring out to the stars knowing one of them was home.

They brought her food, it was mainly a decepticon grunt, and every time they would make sly comments of insults in cybertronian but she understood each one, such as "disgusting bag of flesh" or "let's see if it explodes when we throw it out into space."

They fed her like a dog with bits of scrap metal resembling bowl like shapes, it consisted of various fruits, vegetables, water and in the earlier days of her arrival there was a whole chicken...in the same state when it used to be alive she merely loathed at the poor thing, she wondered where they got the things but also thought if they were mocking her, or the fact they weren't human savvy when it came to nutrition.

She ate the food and drank the water for she had to...to survive, but she would not share any thoughts of being on the nemesis to anyone when she got home it would merely be a nightmare. She had no means of entertainment and instead would run the images of movies, memories and familiar faces through her mind, which helped.

She slept but it was a state of light sleeping and she had kept a pole of scrap metal close to her side as a weapon.

She had to last two days of extreme temperatures before finding a double sized blanket that lay just at the door. Another question of mockery came to her mind or they were observing her from afar for means of entertainment, but her numbed feet said otherwise and so she took it like a curious animal.


Her door opened again as it would about 10-15 times a day, she knew the sound of every decepticons footsteps by now and without turning around she knew them to be Starscreams and his meetings would consist of...weird gestures. He still insulted her but made remarks that if she were a femme he would make her his sparkmate? Or now and then he'd brush a clawed finger across her cheek and admire her ability to hide her fear. But Ellen merely put that to the back of her head, starscream was weird anyway and this was no different...in a sense...s-she hoped.

But with every Starscream visit, Ellen would look out to the stars instead of acknowledging him, "you will do well to recognize your master when he steps into a room." He said as he would every time.

Ellen was silent, though she did have a few things to say that she kept to herself, she had to bite her tongue this time.

Starscream vented his frustration of being ignored, "Look at me." He ordered, but she did not.

"Look at me!" he yelled, but she did not, however she noticed he was being pretty persistent this time...which made Ellen become on guard as she tensed herself up.

He then growled angrily as he took a grab for her, in quick response Ellen side rolled to avoid his grasp.

"Don't, touch me." She spat but her tone was dead.

He growled again but that turned to dark chuckling, "i like my femme's feisty." He said, there's weird but this was just plain creepy.

She grabbed her spiked piece of scrap metal as she held it like a spear, "come at me Starscream and I'll show you who the femme is." She said aggressively.

Which naturally provoked him as he took a swipe at her, in response and in an aggressive manner she stabbed the metal spear into starscreams hand, nailing him down into the ground. "ARGH!" he yelled as he knelt down from being forced to the ground, "you filthy brat!" he yelled as he quickly took a grab for her with the other hand as Ellen was experiencing fatigue. "You will submit!" he growled as he squeezed her within his palm.

"I could not live with myself if i were to ever submit to you!" she spat as slight patches of her vision was black and she felt dizzy.

He squeezed harder as Ellen grinded her teeth wincing, the pain was there but it was only worthy of bruising. Starscream coughed a laugh again, "would this technically be what the humans call 'bondage'?" he said.

Ellen eyes lit up like fire, "even though you have caused me great pain now, as well as over the years i have seen you form into an exceptional fighter, a human and woman no doubt but nonetheless that alone has made me somewhat drawn to you my spark secretly throbs to bond with you, how intriguing perhaps i am curious to see if you are able to survive." He said with much pleasure in his voice. "If you claim yourself as mine perhaps i can persuade megatron to expand your life line to a year?"

Ellen felt every negative feeling there is, and in response performed a gesture she thought was suitable.

She spat in his face, the mere thought of what he suggested made her skin crawl, but she then sneered as a thought came to mind "is megatron not being gentle?" she spat mockingly.

Starscream ripped his nailed hand out of the ground as he pressed Ellen to the ground with both hands, he practically overshadowed her, though Ellen did not expect this and could not mentally prepare herself"Wait! What are you doing?!"Ellen screamed at him as she desperately tried to release herself from his predatory grip, Starscream looked like a demon from her point of view, he salivated and his optics grew brighter. She had fought many be it human or cybertronian, through her wit and through all that she had learned from training and she was to fall victim to...

"Starscream!" came a voice over by the entrance.

He quickly let go of Ellen as he stood himself up to a straightened position, looking casual. "What is it?" he said speaking in his normal calm tone.

Ellen scrambled away from him desperately.

"I do not care fondly for humans but what you were attempting to do outweighed that on the 'disgusting' level, can you sink no lower?" The con said which Ellen identified the voice to be barricade...she hadn't seen him until now but can definitely remember his voice.

"How dare you use that tone on your commanding officer!" starscream barked wiping a lubricants from his mouth. He then went over to the cop car con who was the same height as bumblebee and towered over him.

"You do not scare me starscream, it is you who should fear me for i can merely comm link Lord Megatron delivering him vital information that you attempted unwilling bonding with a human. And it doesn't matter if you kill me for megatron knows your ways." He said confidently.

Starscream and Barricade locked optics with each other for the longest of time but eventually starscream flinched and backed off, growled in his face and moved past him stomping down the hallways.

Now what followed was silence as barricade stood there looking at her.

Ellen was so embarrassed...so humiliated she had a brief lock of vision between herself and barricade before she grabbed her blanket and threw it over herself, and looked back out to the stars. An instinct of trying to protect herself from everything around her.

Barricade came over as he picked up her slightly empty bowls as he noticed her shake slightly but he could tell she was trying to repress it as best as she could. "I can't believe he was able to restrain me like that, i can't believe i couldn't do anything to stop him." She said she couldn't bottle up her thoughts she had to let them out...to someone.

"Of course you couldn't, you are only human." Barricade stated.

She threw her blanket off as she shot a look at him, "you don't get it! I have never been in a situation like that i have been thrown about, blown up and have even lost a limb* and here i felt...helpless...weak...he could've..." she started before letting a tear slip.

She shot her vision to the ground again as she began to claw at her arm, barricade stared at her for a while, he was not good at reassurance and rarely offered it but the thought of starscream getting a victory...he looked at the entrance door, then to her again as he fiddled about with the bowls looking as though he were still working. "I found it humorous when you implied megatron had been bonding pretty roughly with starscream as though he were a femme." He said forming an evil grin on the corner of his mouth.

Ellen merely sniffed, "i-i...w-will...live through this." She choked.

Barricade had much information about Ellen, she had encountered many decepticons and had lived sometimes leaving damage upon them, and she had assisted the autobots in various ways providing Intel and what not. But she was still human...part of a weak race...part of.

"Would you prefer it, if i stayed?" he asked though he slipped it out by accident.

"No" Ellen said coldly.

"I'll stand guard; i have no respect for those without honor or loyalty, like starscream, and many other decepticons on this vessel for that matter. besides i can execute this as training." He said acting on his own permission anyway.

Ellen shot him a glare. "As long as you don't touch me i guess you can 'stand guard'." She shrugged making it sound as though she had given him permission.

"Why would i touch your flesh cased form? I'm not in comparison to starscream i have 'standards'" he said as though stating it as fact not being intentionally cold.

She was silent, he was merely like any other decepticon and once again looked out to the stars, "i hope I'm saved i don't care how long it takes as long as i know that i will be saved that will push me through." she thought.

She still felt barricade hovering over her, instead of commenting on his loitering posture, she walked away from him instead. "Does my close presence scare you?" he asked.

"No, i just want to survive and you being that close is like resting your head on a bear trap." She said.

"You're of no use to Megatron if you are dead." He said realistically.

"Thanks i feel so full of purpose." She commented sarcastically as she lay down wrapping herself into her blankets cocoon style. She then clutched her piece of scrap metal as it slightly dripped with starscreams energon, she groaned as she had nowhere to wipe it with, then in frustration she threw it across the room.

"there is no need for such a...'weapon' i told you i would be standing guard." He said.

"I know my abilities, i don't know yours." She told him simply before setting down to a light sleep mode again.

"You will" he said, what a weird concept that she suggested that he were to prove himself to her,

Ellen shuffled lightly in response to his comment.


A/N *yeah just a quick point for those who have not read my transformers prime fic, Ellen has a robotic arm, further detail is in a small section in the link below but long story short, Ellen lost her whole arm, the bone structure is metal formed from Optimus's arm and being that it is living metal the skin and muscle from her shoulder formed around it making her arm complete again.
