thanks for the reviews. Barricade being a musician was from a story that I read Somewhere so I claim no creation of Barricade being a musician. If the author does read this and would like credit for please leave me a message. thank you.

Chapter 3

Bumblebee waited in Barricade's living room of his quarters while the enforcer put his armor on. She decided to look around out of boredom as she had nothing else to do. Bumblebee did notice when she first was brought to Barricade's room that he had had a love of music and decided that she would be nosy and check out the rest of Barricade's things.

As she was looking Bumblebee came across something that made her let out as gasp. Out in the open for all to see was a human version of a harp along with other human musical equipment. It seemed the Barricade really had a love of music.

"I grew up in a concert hall before the war." Barricade told Bumblebee as he walked into the room shining like a silver dime. "My creators were concert musicians and as long as I behaved I was allow to be in the hall and I would listen to them for hours as they practiced."

Bumblebee looked at the black mech with shock in her optics. She was still having a hard time believing that Barricade was a musician.

"I know that it is hard to believe that I was a Musician but I am telling you the truth. Here I can prove it to you." The enforcer said as he walked over to a closet to open in and bring out a harp like instrument and started to play it.

The melody that came from the musical instrument was beautiful like a the sound of wind and birds singing. Bumblebee was taken back at the music and started to drift into a slight recharge.

Barricade smiled at the sight of the lovely femme in sitting on his berth. She was so beautiful. When Barricade had first met Bumblebee he was shocked that she was a femme due to her way of fighting. She was tough and strong and never backed down from a fight no matter what. She was also brave when she stood up to Megatron when he was after the Allspark. That was one of the reason Barricade had requested Bumblebee to resign with him during her stay at the base.

Barricade wasn't no idiot when it came to his fellow teammates for he knew that if Bumblebee givin to one of them she would be violated every time she turned around. He may be a Decepticon but Barricade had morals and would never even think about doing anything like. All of his berth partners had joined him willing.

Bumblebee realized what was happening and quickly onlined her optics and glared at Barricade. "Just what do you think you are trying to do?" Bumblebee snarled.

"My apologies Bumblebee. My music tends to do that to everyone. But I wanted to show you that I wasn't lying about being a musician for you see a true musician can be able to lure someone into recharge by just playing." Barricade told Bumblebee.

Barricade looked at Bumblebee and knew that it was going to take time for her to trust him and he didn't blame her for not trusting him. He was after all a Decepticon and she was an Autobot. Also every time he turned around he was fighting her in a battle.

"Look Bumblebee I meant what I said about not touching you with out your permission and I will live by that rule." Barricade told Bumblebee who just looked at him with a questionable glare. "Bumblebee I was raised that you never touch a femme with out their permission and I live by that rule. Think about when we battled. Did I ever once touch you in a place that was inappropriate?"

Bumblebee thought for a moment and realized that Barricade was the only Decepticon that didn't try and fondle her on the battlefield. He treated her like a warrior and fighter.

"I trust you but what about the other Decepticons?" Bumblebee told Barricade.

"Don't you worry about the others. They will not come into my room if they value their lives. I made sure to tell them that you are my prize and I will do with you what I want and if they touched you than there was going to be hell to pay." Barricade explained.

Bumblebee didn't know what but there was something about Barricade's words that made her feel safe and sound. Maybe it was the fact that Barricade hadn't tried to jump her the second he saw her or it could be the fact that he was willing to protect her from his comrades.

"Look Bumblebee I'll try to and figure out a way to get you out of her as this base is no place for a femme like you." The Enforcer told Bumblebee who gave him a nod.

Barricade felt that he needed to do something that would make Bumblebee trust his words more. So he crossed his arms over his chassis in an X formation and got down on one knee. This posture was known throughout Cybertron as the Position of Honor. When a bot did that it meant what what they had said before was the truth and if they broke it they would offline themselves.

"I believe you Barricade. I believe you." Bumblebee told Barricade as she held her hand up to help her captor up. She now knew that Barricade wasn't going to hurt or violate her and that he would keep her safe.

Barricade smiled as he took Bumblebee's hand and lifted himself up. He had just taken the first step in gaining Bumblebee's trust and he wasn't about to lose it.
