Jane is the property of Autobot Nightfury

Chapter 3

Jane felt like she was going to be sick. Megatron? He wanted wanted her to meet Megatron? It was madness! Her heart pounded in her throat as Breakdown carried her to the main control center. This ship was like nothing she had ever seen before but the sights could not quell the sickness she felt. But she had to put on a strong face. She had learned in her classes that you should never show the enemy your fear no matter what. It would show that she would be an easy target for interrogation. Jane was a smart woman and knew what the plan would be. She had information that was more valuable than any supplies the small team of Autobots could muster. No, she had to show that she was strong.

"You're shaking." Breakdown commented, able to feel her body in his servo. Jane gulped and closed her eyes. She was a strong woman and had showed it multiple times but she also knew how vicious Megatron could be.

"It's...just a bit chilly, that's all." Jane responded, forcing herself to smile. She had to keep the face up.

Breakdown shrugged and kept walking. He was just hoping that Megatron was not going to change his mind when he met her. Though he did not know how Megatron would react to females. It was strange how that mech could be. He was a ruthless ex-gladiator but he had taken a certain mercy on Arcee multiple times. Though it might have been circumstances.

Jane could not help but shudder as they entered through the doorway. Megatron himself stood tall, bossing around multiple vehicons and growling orders. He was a ferocious sight and she could understand why so many bots followed him willingly. Leadership traits were evident in his every movement. Jane and Megatron may have never met but she had seen enough of the footage to see what he was capable of!

A chill shot down her spine as his red optics turned to her and a smirk replaced his furrowed expression. But she swallowed down the fear and even gave him a small wave.

"Ah, there you are, human. I wondered when you would awaken. It's easy to forget how fragile your kind can be." he chortled, striding over to her.

"Fragile, yes, but we are also very resilient as Raf showed you." Jane retorted, using Breakdown's servo as a support as he lowered her to the ground.

"But he also had the help of the Autobots and this time you do not have their help." Megatron pointed out, walking toward her. He wanted a closer look at this female that dared talk to him so openly. It did not anger him, it intrigued him. The slight tremor of her body exposed her fear but he could also see how hard she tried to hide it.

"We are also very adaptable to our surroundings, Megatron. Is it okay if I call you by your name? If you were going to kill me, you would have already done it. Your files lead me to believe that you are not a fickle mech. You will not make a decision that hurts you in any form." Jane stated, a little hesitant as the monster lowered his servo for her to step into. But she had to keep the game going.

Megatron smirked as he lifted her up to optic level. Humans looked even more delicate from up close, though this was his first time seeing one this close. Her tremors were even more evident as his digits slowly curled around her, assuring that she had little room to move around.

"Clever human, I see Prime has educated you on my men and I. But it's nothing like seeing it up close, now is it?" he asked, the heat of his venting fanning over her.

"I could say the same. You look at me like I'm going to spit acid." she retorted, her arms crossing like she did with Breakdown. Megatron could not help but laugh loudly. This little human had fire in her "spark" or whatever humans called it. She was going to be quite fun to have around.

Breakdown shuffled uneasily. This wasn't good. He knew that Jane was trying to show him that she had no fear but her attempts were only bringing out that dark side of Megatron's dominance. The tyrant was taking a liking to her that Breakdown did not like. If this kept on then Megatron might assume she's worth keeping close to his side. A thought that only Breakdown wished to have. Ah, Decepticons and their possessiveness.

"You are a feisty little thing, aren't you? Though you are much easier to stomach than that girl the Autobots keep around. Why don't you tell me exactly who you are? Hmmm?" Megatron asked, his other servo coming up to pull gently at her casual uniform. He assumed it was the human equivalent of armor plating but it did not seem very sturdy. He was amused as one of her buttons on her chest popped open and the human instantly smacked at his digits. Her face flushed a slight shade of pink.

"Stop that! My name is Jane and I'm sure you Decepticons don't dabble in last names. Besides, you won't get much out of me. I'm an assistant, not an official. The government will not comply to any demands you have for one human." she stated curtly, re-buttoning her shirt. But her stomach felt sick, they would sacrifice nothing to get her back.

Surprisingly, Megatron did not growl or call her useless. He simply smiled and gave her hair a gentle pet.

"That is where you are wrong, Ms. Jane. Your government may not hand over anything valuable but Optimus will. He will think it is his fault for allowing your capture. An innocent of war. It is in his nature to sacrifice. No, he will give me what I wish." Megatron coolly explained. Jane stared at him in shock. She couldn't let Optimus do that!

"Sir, I think Knock Out needs to run a few test on the human to make sure she is not in bad health." Breakdown lied, wanting to end the conversation between the two. Megatron looked as if he was going to refuse, but a lucky sneeze from Jane caught his attention. It wasn't a sickly sneeze, just a random one. But it was enough to get Megatron to hand her back to Breakdown.

"Fine, but I want to know if you find anything that is of importance. Our bargaining chip has to be in a presentable state for Optimus." he chortled, giving Jane one last touch before handing her off to Breakdown.

Jane was just happy to be back in his servos. Megatron had not hurt her but he had mentally shaken her. Even her legs gave out as he held her and she remained sitting where she landed. With Breakdown, she at least knew that he would not harm her and that he even had a slight affection for her.

"Of course, sir." Breakdown stated, walking away quickly with his pet. That had not been good. Jane was shaking terribly and Breakdown found himself stroking her back to calm her down. The young woman looked in a terrible state with her face so pale and her eyes so wide. He felt a strange protectiveness over her.
