Lennox huddled in the corner of the room he had been thrown into. Scalpel had just finished all his experimenting. It was the third day that Scalpel 'researched' him; he had just gotten through several hours of hell.
He had first experimented on Will's nervous system, Scalpel took the time to undo his restraints so that when he hit the nerves, he could watch Will's limbs convulsing on the table. After he had grown bored of that he, NO, Will refused to let himself remember what Scalpel had done to him.
But the feeling of being violated still coursed through his body. He shivered violently, he would not think of the last thing that was done to him. When Scalpel was all done, he stitched up the wound that ran from his chest down. Then he ordered an unknown mech to put him in a holding cell. The mech had gone and thrown him in this room, he had managed to break his fall; his right shoulder took the brunt of it, the force popping it out of the socket, he had also lost some skin along the way. The pain only seemed like a pin prick compared to what he had been through the past couple of days. He only grunted when he popped it back in place, he couldn't do anything with the lost skin.
The room he glimpsed before he was thrown, was huge compared to him, it would probably fit two Optimus Prime's comfortably. The only light left in the room was the thin strip of light from under the door way.
Will used his hands and knees to crawl to the farthest corner, not trusting his legs to keep him up, they were still pretty shaky. After he had settled down did he notice how cold it was, he wondered if this to was another kind of torture. Making sure that he almost froze to death, maybe next they would put him in a sauna room. The cold made his broken bones hurt even worse than they did, goose bumps appeared on his arms. Will rubbed his arms absentmindedly wondering how long it was until that mech Shockwave came to 'study' him would be. He leaned his head against the wall his mind wandering to Sarah, Annabelle, and Ironhide. He reached into one of the many pockets of his pants, surprised when his fingers touched paper. Apparently the Decepticons had not checked his pockets. He drew out a picture of his family, ever since Egypt, and Mission City he had begun to carry one around, along with a red rosary, which also was still in the same pocket. He couldn't see the items, but just having them in his hand gave him strength. He ended up falling asleep, only waking up when he felt the ground begin to tremble. Will gently put the items back into his pocket, huddling closer to the corner, the instinctive need to back away from a threat flowing through him. He tensed as the door opened, a dim light came on, making him throw up his hand to block out the sudden light. Framed in the door way was another unknown Decepticon. Will ignored his protesting ribs and tried to shrink further into the corner. The mech was about as tall as Bumblebee, maybe even a little bit taller. His armor was a deep blue, closer to black then blue. It surprised Lennox since most Decepticons he saw were either silver or black. The mech's optics were more of a garnet red then blood red, and the way he was looking at was something Will would describe as pity, but a Decepticon would never look at something that way. The mech begun to step towards Lennox, Will briefly though of escaping between the mech's legs, but the door swung close on its own. The mech didn't stop until he was towering over the human.
Lennox was too busy staring at the mech's eyes, that he didn't notice the tray until it was in front of his face. Will stared at the tray, on it was an honest to god sandwich and a glass of water. Will just stared at it shocked, not knowing if he was supposed to take it or not. That's when the mech motioned him to take it. Will reached up with his hands, they were shaking. He gently took the tray, as not to spill a single drop of water, he quickly set it on the ground, before staring back into the mech's optics.
He jumped when the mech began to speak.
"Sleep easy tonight, Shockwave will not come for you until tomorrow morning William Lennox."
Will looked up at the mech shocked, a 'Con had just told him that he was basically safe for the night. The mech slowly turned around and left Will alone in the room, not bothering to turn off the light. With the light on, the room slowly got warmer. Will gently took the sandwich in his hand, not believing that it was real. He wanted nothing more than to eat the whole thing right now. But he knew that it would be better for his system if he at slowly, allowing a couple minutes between each bite until the whole thing was gone. The water soothed his raw throat, he tried to speak, but nothing would come out, not even a squeak. His voice box had been strained too much, he didn't know if his voice box would recover. That seemed the least of his worries though.
With his stomach full, his eyes began to droop, he stretched out on the floor, using his left arm as a pillow. He clutched the rosary and picture to his chest, he fingered the beads, he moved his lips as he silently said the prayers. He made it through the second decade before he fell asleep, the only place where he could escape his pain.

The unknown blue mech continued down the hall. He had been shocked to see the human still look so defiant even as he huddled in a corner. Even after everything Scalpel had done, he still wasn't broken. One glance in his eyes said it all. It was such a shame that such a strong creature was going through things. He never knew that humans were that strong. His twin brother Barricade had told him of such humans, but he never believed it.
I told you Blockade, humans are stronger then what the Decepticon think they are. After three years even the slaghead Megatron is figuring it out. You should have seen this human at our first battle at Mission City, he took out Blackout almost by himself. Communicated Barricade through their twin bond. No one in the Decepticon ranks knew that they were twins, in fact only one other Cybertron in the universe new about it. If Megatron found out, he would imprison one of the twins, to make sure that the other one did his exact bidding.
Rub it in why don't you, when are you coming back to the base? Blockade asked.
Soon, I just need to get a few more provisions and we can leave for good.
Blockade smiled, soon he and his brother would be free of the Decepticons. They would no longer live in fear that their secret would be discovered.
