"They took her!" Laserbeak had hissed with malice as he reported what he had saw. He was now at the Nemesis with the lot of Decepticons gathering around in order to find out what had happened to the search and take back mission for the femme they had attach onto.

After Barricade was ordered to escape, the symbiot was ordered to wait and take the chance of getting the femme out of the Autoscums hands. Many Decepticons had protest on why was it only Laserbeak the one to get her back earlier but stayed there after Breakdown threatened them of being deactivated once they set foot off the ship.

Even Barricade had not submit with the order of leaving the female but it must be done. The only thing that had made him leave was the matter that the femme was severely wounded from the misfire.

Barricade had turned full 'Con, wanting to rip the yellow scout to pieces as he saw his fire landed near Shein. He had promised to deal with the youngling when their paths meet again. The Autobot would wish he hadn't done that... that was his promise.

"No... leave her there for now." The voice of their resident CMO had said, it was Hook. That sentence had enrage the Cons even further though instead of calming them down.

"What?! We are not leaving her with those glitcheads!" Barricade roared at the resident medic while grabbing him in a firm clench of fist. He will not stand by and do nothing! ...but as data processed within him he had landed to a conclusion, he submitted all too shockingly for the others. His faction couldn't believe that the Mustang would just let it be when his connection with the missing femme was far more greater than theirs.

"And look who is giving up on the femme!" The Constructicons who had been saved by Shein had taunted. They also couldn't believe that they would just leave the femme in the other factions hands.

Barricade had took their words then glared at them. Who were they to tell them that he was giving up on his charge? They wouldn't know the extent of their connection with one another. He may have hated the human race but she was the exception. He couldn't help smirk at thought on how the femme had them wrap around her fingers when he had taken her with him to the base.

She had wiggled her way into their processors and spark, an effect they had thought was lost thousands of vorns ago when the war started. For them, it was like having a sparkling in the Nemesis. She was all too curious and adventurous. She had even annoyed many mechs until they gave up and answer her frightening questions which led their CMO to teach her about their culture and answer everything she asks. That had clearly amused Hook to the fullest having someone to teach again and to have company other than glitch heads...

She was really amazing, even the doc said so. She had helped too many times in fixing them up after missions, giving them psychological help and even gave them a full time enjoyment to lessen stress. (She was the reason for the Nemesis having a recreation room)

She was what the squishies call 'lucky charm'. With her there with them, they had manage to make things easier even with failed missions under Starscream's leadership. She had the seeker in her hands, helping those who had failed missions by lessening their sentences to doing useful things that clearly had helped their development now.

If you ask of Megatron... he for now, was nowhere on the Nemesis. Hiding on earth with their new human that was not even worth being called a pet.

Gould was never as accepted as Shein. He was the word 'scum of the race' as she put it. Having had jump her to have her in his bed. The memory of her that time when Gould did jump her was amusing. She had kicked the scum in the genitals then did a head butt. She even did a multiple attack on sensitive areas that they didn't know a human could have but that takes smaller and more flexible hands.

After she had her satisfaction on beating the guy, she had went to them and told Soundwave to keep that 'fucking dunderhead' in control before heading off to the place she calls home, the Nemesis.

Soundwave was to say, amused when he had found the glitch, half beaten to deactivation but immediately fixed the man.

Megatron had seen that event and had praised the girl for being so brutal. Happy to say that she had won the affection of their Lord after he had been awaken that time before Egypt. She had so many times proved that she was cruel as well as caring towards them, like a femme caretaker. (Those who are still a youngling in their faction had adorned her little but mighty form, willing to fight in order to protect her).

Even those who had sincere disgust towards squishies had bend for her care. She was powerful and enigmatic as it is. They couldn't help wonder why was a special femme like her thrown aside by the humans.

Well... that was their loss...

"He isn't throwing her away you glitchheads... if you all had working processors and not exhausts for brains, you all would think like him. As to say, she is well off with the humans for now... what can we do for an organic when we are all metal here? Didn't the report say that she had sustained large amount of damage? Even if she were to come back here, I wouldn't be able to help her as well as their species could. I don't have enough data to care for her or even have the supplies that would be of use. You all know that once she finds out that we stole something for her, she would do 'that' again, right?". All the Cons had flinched thinking about 'that'.

It was the time when they had what she calls 'ransacked' a house for the essential things that she needed. Hook, their CMO had told them that keeping her at the base without proper things will not be good for her even if she was learning fast about them. When they had given her that house that was settled at a part in their base, she but all screamed out of terror when she came out of it.

With a look of dread, she stared at them until she had calmed down but the aweful look of pure dead eyes had them shivering away. They could take it if she had screamed at them. She could have thrown a fit, dismantle them or even slag their parts till stasis lock but no... she had to stare at them with those lifeless eyes that could bore a hole into their sparks.

Later that date, Barricade had reported back after his mission to find her like that. He threw everyone into the pit as he found out what happened. In all those treacherous hours, she just stood there, watching with her eyes that did not change.

Sometime later, when a clueless youngling 'Con came up to her, she slowly returned to normal. Those who were involved in the incident were forgiven by her. She had said 'Killing yourselves isn't even worth punishment. You are to be of example for what I will do to you for those in the future to never ever do something like that again.' Her dead eyes were sourly cold. (At least she showed emotion)

Screaming out of pain echoed throughout the ship coming from the room they were taken. She had scarred the lot when they had finished. Shockwave had asked how she was able to do that but she nor they responded or answered until the femme called out to them smilling. It was truly astonishing but it was a gruesome event that they hope wouldn't have a part 2.

"We didn't know what she had gone through that time. We didn't know that it was a facility full of orphaned human younglings... to give her that house with the dead bodies still in there must made her snapped." A shiver had run down their spines as those who don't know had stayed silent.

"So I suggest you all don't do anything that might repeat that again. She has less issues if it were those on your missions but if it was solely because or for her, be ready for 'that' again." Hook said and left after they were all clear to just forget about the femme for now even if it was hard for them. They will succumb to this event and would just do what they are ordered to do.

They could just only hope that when the time comes, they could take her and everything would be the same again. Everything will be back the way it was supposed to be after their lives were invaded by that little squishy.

But they didn't know this... the law of continuity, the law of time... as time flows like a sand in a glass frame, change is inevitable.

The femme that they once knew will be burried by that sand if she ever wakes up...
