Dreadwing P.O.V
(Medbay)
My optics were slow to online, and when they did, I immediately regretted it. The pain shooting through every one of my circuits was enough to cause me to groan in agony. But soon the pain subsided to an aching throb, and when it did, I took the opportunity to look at my surroundings. There was another 2 medical berths, obviously I was in a Medbay, however, this one was spotless and lightly coloured. Clearly I was not on board the Nemesis any longer. This could only mean one thing… I must be in the autobot base. What I couldn't understand though was the reason they had helped me. As far as they knew, I was the decepticon SIC, much hated and feared enemy of the Autobots. Why would they suddenly decide to save me. I became aware of another presence in the room, so I looked to my left and saw a small white femme with gold highlights. She was in recharge sitting next to my berth, leaning on it with her helm in her crossed arms. She looked to be around the same age as the autobot scout. I moved my hand to tap her slightly on the arm, causing her to stir slightly before jolting awake and falling backwards off the crate she was sitting on with a yelp!
She looked back up at me in shock before footsteps were heard running in our direction, it was the autobot medic. He came running in and went straight to the femme, not even seeming to notice I was there, "are you alright Kickstart? What happened?" he asked the young femme who gave a slight chuckle in response before looking at me again" Oh nothing, I just didn't expect our patient to wake up as soon that's all" that was when the medic finally seemed to see me. He stared for a moment, perhaps to make sure I wasn't trying anything before he began asking questions and telling me what damage was done, "How are you feeling? You took some amount of time to fix, what happened to you?" I attempted to sit up and tell him but as soon as I tried, I was pushed back down and told to stay there or risk further injuring myself, so I did what I was told and told him from my position on my back, "I feel like I have been to the pits and back… as for how I ended up like that…. Megatron decided I had outlived my usefulness. I failed him on my mission to kill Arachnid and again when I attempted to acquire the Apex armour…" I couldn't bring myself to say anymore, I had failed my master. I deserved what I got and more. But when I looked up at the two Autobots their expressions were not full of hate or anger, they were full or sympathy and guilt. It confused me, yes, they were Autobots and Autobots were known for their kindness and caring nature, but why would they show anything like that towards me. I had done so many horrible things to them, I attempted to kill Prime. Twice … and yet, they saved me.
Kickstart P.O.V
When Dreadwing told Ratchet and I his story on how he ended up the way he did, we were shocked to say the least. How could Megatron do that to one of his most loyal followers? and Dreadwing was as loyal as they come. I felt guilty, I wasn't sure why exactly, maybe it was because I had once been in a similar predicament, but I escaped with the help of the Autobots before it escalated to anything near as severe as what Dreadwing had been through. "you know, the Autobots would always welcome you if you were willing to change your ways and accept us and the humans" Ratchet said suddenly, snapping me out of my thoughts. Dreadwing looked shocked but grateful. "I would be honoured if you accepted me into your team. It has never been my intension to harm the humans, it just so happens that Megatron's orders sometimes involved them. Might I inquire about your wrecker Bulkhead, the last I heard he was in bad shape after Hardshell attacked him."
Bulkhead was in bad shape for quite a while but he was recovering quickly. " He's doing well, and if you give me some time to talk to Optimus, I'm sure we could arrange something" Ratchet answered in a kind tone. Hopefully Optimus would take to the idea of having the ex-con on the team. I was really excited about gaining a new member- I watched Ratchet walk out before looking back to Dreadwing who was smiling at me, I smiled back- perhaps even a new friend as well…
