Chapter 4: Babysitting Trouble
"Do you have to constantly making that happen?" Starscream groaned.
'Maybe.'
"Well would you stop? I don't need everyone staring at me! I'm an outcast as it is!" Starscream whined.
I shook my head at that comment. It had been another month since I started "talking" to Starscream. I hadn't figured out how to communicate with Megatron yet, but I was hoping to get their soon enough. I think it only happens when I'm in close contact with someone that they can hear me "talking", ok, thinking.
'You're not an outcast. You're just different that's all.'
"Different, outcast, same thing!" Starscream moaned.
I hit my hand against his chest plate out of annoyance. He yelped. I laughed in my mind. He flipped me onto my back and began to tickle me. I squirmed like mad trying to get away from him.
'That's not fair! You're bigger than I am!'
Starscream smiled down at me and tickled me harder. I could only squirm harder against him. I moved my head slightly so that I could bite down on one of his fingers. He yelped in pain as my fangs sank into his finger. The minute I felt Energon flow into my mouth I let go and spat it out. Starscream looked at his finger and sighed.
"Ok, that hurt." He commented.
'That's what you get when you don't stop!'
He smiled at me and placed me on his bed as he stood up. He pulled the covers up over my head and laughed as he began to tickle me again. I squirmed hard under the covers and tried to strike him with my feet and hands.
'You fragging cheater!'
"Language." Starscream stated somewhere above her.
He stopped tickling me, giving me time to catch my breath. I lay panting underneath the covers for a couple of minutes. I became curious as to why he wasn't saying anything and poked my head out from under the covers. I didn't see him anywhere and began to panic. I got out of the bed and stood on the floor, staring around in blind panic.
'Starscream! Where are you?!'
I felt someone grab me around my middle and hoist me into the air. I looked behind me into the purple optics of Starscream. I smiled at him and tried to turn around to face him. He held me out at arms length.
"Megatron wants you in the rec room." He stated.
'Ok, so why am I being held out at arms length?'
Starscream smiled at me and pulled me against his chest. I smiled up at him before cuddling against his chest. I liked to be against older transformers still, my baby instincts still pretty strong. To be honest, I really preferred being held by Megatron and Starscream, in that order. When we reached the rec room, I heard Thundercraker throwing a fit.
"What do you mean I have to hold the brat?!" He screamed.
"You are to hold her. Is that understood?" Megatron snarled.
"Yes sir." Thundercraker sighed, though it was obvious that he was scared.
Starscream walked over to Thundercraker and held me out for him to hold. He grumbled as he picked me up. I didn't understand what was going on. I glanced at Megatron who was holding a cube of Energon in his hand. He smiled as I noticed it and placed it in my hands. I looked at it in confusion.
"Drink it." Megatron stated. I noted that a smile was on his face.
I took a sip and spit it up…all over Thundercraker. It wasn't my fault, it burnt my throat and taste different then what I'm used to. He yelled out in disgust as the Energon splattered against his chest.
"What is her problem?! Can't she keep anything down?!" He roared. He glared at me and I knew that I was in trouble.
He was about to throw me away from him, when Starscream grabbed him from behind. Megatron had me in his arms in a sparkbeat. I was still holding the cube of Energon really tight out of fear.
"Thundercraker, that was your punishment. You are nothing but hostile to Whitesilence, so you deserved to have Energon spit up all over you." Starscream snarled.
Thundercraker glared at me. Then Starscream released him and he walked out of the rec room, cursing and swearing the whole time. Megatron gave me a small hug to reassure me. I rubbed my head against his chest, happy that he was right there.
"Finish off the Energon Silence." Megatron said gently. He gave Starscream a look and he left Starscream alone in the rec room.
I looked up at him as he walked into his room. He sat down on the bed, sitting me up so I didn't choke on the Energon. I took another sip and closed my optics as it burnt the back of my throat. When I finished it off, I shook my head. Megatron took the Energon cube and placed it on the table beside the bed. He lay down, placing me beside him, as usual.
"You'll have to get used to the taste Silence, you have to ingest Energon from now on to get the energy that you need." Megatron stated.
'Ok, but does it have to burn all the way down?'
I felt Megatron stiffen beside me. "What? Did you just talk?" He asked.
'No, I sort of thought it. I don't know how to explain it but it happens with Starscream a lot.'
"Hmm." Megatron said.
'I've been trying to communicate with you but it only worked now.'
"Maybe you were trying to hard before." Megatron stated.
'Yah, probably.'
I yawned and snuggled closer to Megatron's body. I rubbed my head against his chest compartment and fell asleep listening to the soft humming of his internal pieces.
