"Nitro...NITRO!"

The screaming of my name brought me out of my reverie. I knew that voice, one I feared and disliked. For how could I ever truly hate the one responsible for my exsistance? Turning around back toward the entrance to the Nemisis' halls, I took a few steps away from the edge I had been standing at and sighed. So much for taking off.

"Yes?"

Hearing my response he quickly walked onto the flight deck. Bright red optics flared in fury as he stomped over to me. He was glaring and I quickly realized my mistake.

"U-uh I m-mean, I am on the flight deck commander Starscream sir!" I responded in the best military sounding voice I could muster under the pressure of his slim hand reaching for my throat. My outburst stopped his movements and he instead grabbed my wrist, dragging me behind him through the halls. I guess he was feeling generous today.

"Do you have any idea how long you have been out here?! Lord Megatron requested you on the bridge more than 20 cycles ago!"

I didn't miss the way he spat the word 'Lord' as if it were some kind of disease. I only stayed silent as he continued his ramblings. There was something about stupid femmes and how I was his responsibility, should I upset Lord Megatron he would be the one to pay the price. Of course him taking the fall for my mistakes was all he was concerned about, I was just an experiment anyway. A lone surviving protoform found and tested on to see if Starscream could make Lord Megatron's next super soldier. Too bad for him a lack of materials led to having to build the smallest frame possible above a minicon, a femme seeker. Grasping at straws to make a soldier Megatron would find worthy enough to not pummel him for making, Starscream gambled on putting ridiculous amounts of Nitrous Oxide in my system, hence the name Nitro.

"Seriously femme, stop daydreaming." Starscream growled as we reached the doors to the bridge.

As we entered, we had to duck to avoid being hit by some poor vehicon that Megatron was throwing around. He was screaming about the incompetence of his troops and "those damn Autobot fools". When I looked up and locked optics with his deep red ones I remembered the one reason I had to stay... fear of Megatron's wrath.
