Jack woke up feeling refreshed, and was surprised to find he was in Knockout's med bay. The medic and Megatron were in there, watching as he had opened his eyes.
"Glad to see your finally up. I do believe you are feeling well?" Knockout asked.
"Yes… Umm, may I go now?" Jack asked getting up.
"Well, I don't see why not. The drug has worked its way through your system." The red medic said after looking at Megatron.
Jack was headed towards the door when Megatron put his hand on the seeker's wing and said, "Jack, stay clean this time. Don't go outside in the snow alone."
"Sure thing, Megatron. See ya later." Jack said going into the halls. He was disappointed the Autobots couldn't rescue him when he was stuck in Megatron's arms.
Jack was about to go out the front door when a guard said, "Jack, Megatron requested that his future mate not go out in the snow alone."
"That's very nice. I feel sorry for his future mate, that must be terrible not to be able to go out and play in the snow." Jack said, not thinking the guard was talking about him.
"Wait. He is talking about you." The guard said as he blocked the front door. "But I hear that in ten minutes the Starscream and his elites will be having their second flight practice of today. If you hurry you might be able to catch up with them." He said looking at the pair of slumped wings walking away from him. The wings popped up when Jack heard this, but were quickly and neatly folded behind the white seeker's back (remembering what Starscream had told him about how keeping your wings folded in the hallway is proper etiquette.) The guard chuckled at this sight.
Jack was able to go to flight practice and was allowed to play under a guard's watchful eye. The guard was supposed to be on duty, but if Megatron's future said he didn't let him outside, it'd be the guards head. So he let the seeker go outside, as long as he wore a colorful piece of rope the guard had tied onto his wing and stayed within eyesight.
Jack then helped out about the ship, doing various things and learning more skills. He was not allowed to go in the furnace room. In fact, when Jack asked if he could help, Breakdown was walking by and the bigger bot picked him up and put him over his shoulder (almost like a caveman.) He then carried him down the hall and around the corner before putting him down. "Jack, Megatron told you to stay clean. Young mech, I suggest you listen." Breakdown said.
"Yes sir." Jack said.
Not too long after….
Jack went into the throne room after popping his head in the engine room. The drones in there didn't question his presence, but utterly ignored him as they busied themselves watching the engines, and so he left.
Megatron was in the throne room, discussing plans with Starscream, Knockout, and Breakdown. They were plotting against the Autobots.
"Jack, just the mech we were looking for. Now, what can you tell us of the Autobots' plans, my dear?" Megatron asked looking away from the hologram the four mechs were standing around.
"I know nothing of their plans. They always said it was best if we kids were left in the dark of these plans." Jack said.
"That's too bad. But surely you must know their location?" The tyrant asked.
"I don't know their location." Jack said and everybody else acted suspicious of this. "Arcee always drove fast enough that everything seemed to become a blur." Jack said, hoping the Decepticons would buy it. They seemed to accept this reasoning, and thought Jack was left in the dark.
"Very well then." Megatron said.
Jack knew he had to ask the question that had been burning in his mind like a bonfire. "Lord Megatron, may I talk to the Autobots sometime? I miss my friends."
"Hmm… Here in a bit. Why don't you go and keep yourself busy until I call for you, my dear?" Megatron said as he and the others now paid attention to the hologram they were messing with.
All Jack could do was soar through the clouds, and before long Starscream was looking for the seeker in the air. Starscream pulled right up next to the white seeker and said, "Jack! Where have you been? Megatron and I have been trying to radio you for five minutes!"
"I have a radio?" Jack asked.
Starscream did a face-palm. "Of course you do. You're a fully equipped seeker, who even has a alt mode. Now lets go back to the ship." The irritated seeker said.
The two seekers went to the throne room, where megatron was sitting at a machine with a big screen and huge keyboard. It was similar to Teleton-1 from earlier series.
"There you are. I was almost not going to call the Autobots. Starscream, you are dismissed." Megatron said in a rough, slightly irritated voice as his fingers seemed to dance in a villainy way that screamed 'I've been waiting for this'.
After Starscream left Megatron said a command to the computer like machine. "Nelly-tron 34, contact Optimus Prime on the war negotiations line 1."
Optimus and the other Autobots appeared on the screen.
"Jack, how nice it is to see you safe and sound. Megatron, seeing as you contacted us, you must want something." Optimus said.
"All I wanted to do was let an old friend of yours contact you. Now if you want nothing to do with Jack, I can terminate the line this minute and you'll never see him again." Megatron threatened.
Prime wished to say something, but he knew Megatron wouldn't mind making good on his threat. "Fine. Now, we would like to speak to Jack." Optimus said.
"Of course, that is the whole reason I called. Go on ahead Jack" Megatron said as Jack's mother appeared in the screen.
"Jack! My one and only son! Are you alright? What have they done to you?" Jack's mom said before Jack could get a word in edgewise. She seemed as though she wished to jump through the screen and hug him.
"Yes mom, I'm fine. They have done nothing to me." Jack said.
It seemed as though everybody on the other end seemed dubious of his last sentence, but dismissed it so they could talk.
"Jack, what does Megatron want from you?" Arcee asked.
Jack was about to tell the Autobots what was going on, but Megatron cut him off again.
"I'm very fond of Jack, and he will not be harmed or forced into anything. That is all I can tell you at the moment." The Decepticon leader said.
Well, after enjoying a half hour chat, Megatron told the Autobots that they would call on the Saturday at noon, and to make sure Miko and Raf were there.
"Megatron, why didn't you tell them why you're keeping me here?" Jack asked.
"Well, my dear, I simply wished not to ruin your conversation. Your energon levels are low, lets go to the Rec. Room and take care of that." Megatron said.
I hoped you enjoyed it so far. Suggestions are welcome, and please Read and Review. For anybody of whom this may concern, I intend to keep the story and its content at "T" rating. Sorry, no mature content will occur. Only maybe some kissing and nonsexual touching.
