"It's just a waste of a perfectly good hostage if you ask me," The human continued. "I mean I got a few better ideas, if you're willing to hear them that is." The human said with a smirk, and all KnockOut and Starscream -who was also in the bridge- could do was stare as this little human saved herself from termination more expertly then they ever could.

"And what ideas would those be." Megatron challenged back at the human, thinking that there was nothing that this human could possibly think of that was better than what he could.

"I heard that your enemy leader is a goodie-goodie who acts on what those 'sane' people call a 'conscience'." The human started, using bunny ears and all. "Well, I was thinking, you could trade me of for something, and he would have to go for it, because that's what goodie-goodies do, trust me, I've played the sweet-sweet hostage card before, and the cops fell all over that. Obviously, you can't play me for something too big, but hey, you could trade me for something, and something is always better than nothing. Well except for cops, which in that case, nothing is always better." The human girl ended with a crazed grin, as if this was all a big game to her, and that the giant, threatening, alien, robot in front of her did not just order her death.

Megatron sneered, "And what could I possibly trade you for that's worth the time, you're not even one of the human children they keep as pets, you're barely worth anything."

The human giggled, "He's a goodie-goodie, silly! The whole reason goodie-goodies are annoying in the first place is because it doesn't matter if they know whose life is on the line or not, that's why they're always jumping in to ruin your fun." The human smirked, her grin growing from crazed to homicidal.

"Besides, there's something that you can rely on that they don't know; I'm a homicidal maniac that's a danger to everyone around me and should definitely be nowhere near children."

Megatron looked down on the human and smirked, "This human might not be too bad to keep around for a while after all. KnockOut, you're in charge of keeping her alive the next few days."

KnockOut tried to keep himself from groaning.

The Autobots were currently going through the necessary channels with Agent Fowler to get Deepdrive a cat. It took a little discussion, but it was agreed that they didn't need to worry about Deepdrive hurting the cat, as unsurprisingly, most animals were protected by her Sacred Vow, and with that being said, the trouble and cost of looking after said cat seemed like a petty reason to back out of the deal.

Of course, why she wanted the cat in the first place was discussed, and it was unanimously agreed that it was all Miko's fault.

Agent Fowler himself needed a little convincing, but when told what was being offered for trade in return, he understood, sort off. He still wasn't buying that the 'con only wanted the cat because Miko had casually mentioned how humans found them entertaining.

But, it did on some crazy level made sense. Deepdrive was stuck in the brig and had nothing to do. Everyone was aware that her mate Soundwave kept company with drones which kept as symbiotes, which were the closest things that Cybertonians had for pets back on Cybertron, and everyone was uncomfortably aware how curious Deepdrive was of humans and small things. So, it actually made sense that she would want to keep herself busy with a tiny alien pet.

There was also the problem of who was going to tell Deepdrive how she was supposed to look after the cat, as Deepdrive obviously had no clue, and neither did the Autobots.

Miko had enthusiastically offered when it was brought up, but the 'bots, especially Bulkhead were hesitant at letting Miko get too close to Deepdrive again.

Whenever Miko got too close to Deepdrive, bad things happened, at least in the eyes of the 'bots. When Miko got close for the first time she got grabbed which ended up causing a panic. When Miko snuck into the brig it caused another panic and accidently lead to the whole cat problem in the first place.

They really didn't want to add anything else to that list.

But, Miko really wanted to help and she was the only one on base who had past experience looking after a cat before. So it was finally agreed that Miko could help as long as Bulkhead was there the entire time that the two were together.

Miko thought it was stupid, because they all knew Deepdrive could hurt her even if she wanted to, and also Deepdrive was really nice, at least to the children anyway. Miko could see that Deepdrive disapproved of the Autobots just as much as they disapproved of the Decepticons.

Miko got it, sort off anyway. Deepdrive was obviously kept away from the battlefield because of her complete uselessness in that area, so Deepdrive didn't get to see the terrible things the Decepticons did to get what they want. What Deepdrive did see though, was all her buddies coming back hurt or worse, and it was her job to fix them up. Miko knew she wouldn't care why someone hurt Bulkhead or Jack or Rafael if someone ever did, especially if Miko wasn't there to see it happen, Miko knew she would just hate them for doing it.

But there was the whole thing that Deepdrive had against Optimus that Miko didn't understand. Miko could clearly see that Deepdrive had something personal against Optimus, and she wanted to figure it out. By now, it was obvious that Deepdrive knew Optimus before the war, before he was a prime even, and she didn't just know him either, they seemed to have been friends.

Miko was going to start there, she was going to find out what happened, and then, she was going to fix it make them friends again, she was sure of it.
