Mature warning: This chapter depicts scenes of graphic torture, viewers are well advised.
Leiana and Rose were shoved forcefully into a dark dank side chamber deep inside the Decepticon base in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It could barely be called a chamber, more like a cave with bits of technology scattered about here and there. Bright florescent flickering lights were hung about the cavern, lighting up the area. Control panels lined the walls nearby and were far too high for any human to reach. Cobwebs were everywhere and the floor was covered in dirt and moss covered rock. No furniture or any sort of human comfort was provided for in the barren cavern. Apparently the Decepticons didn't entertain much.
Thundercracker smirked, revealing his rows of sharp jagged teeth as he watched the two femmes groan and struggle to awaken. The blue seeker knelt down to examine his two prizes. He'd done well, having abducted the Autobot medic's charge as well as another unknown human female.
The mysterious girl stirred in her forced unconsciousness. A rather large red bump had formed on her head from when Thundercracker had tapped her to knock her out. She blinked her chocolate brown eyes, adjusting them to the dimness of the cavern. She wrinkled her cute little freckled nose and painfully sat up. She slid her bike helmet off of her throbbing head and peered at her unfamiliar surroundings.
"Where am I?" She coughed, brushing an enormous amount of dirt off of her shorts and tank top. "Mr. Chan? Are you there?"
Burning crimson optics returned her searching gaze. Thundercracker stood sentry over the two femmes. "No human. It is only I, Thundercracker. Your captor." He sneered down at the girl.
He stared intensely at Leiana, catching her frightened gaze into his. Leiana stiffened like a deer caught in the headlights, paralyzed with fear and unable to move. Their gaze went unbroken for what seemed like forever fiery red optics looking into tearing brown eyes.
The blue F-22 Raptor shook his massive metallic head as if coming out of a trance. Thundercracker took two earth shaking steps toward a control console that jutted out of the side of the cave wall. He began typing in some kind of access code. Immediately numerous glowing green bars of energy shot out of the ceiling and stopped when they hit the ground, effectively creating thin solid prison bars made out of energy.
Leiana recoiled away from the gaintly glowing prison bars as if they were made of radioactive material. They were green, you never know. She looked upwards and found her eyes locking with the Decepticon known as Thundercracker…just staring at her.
"Why the Hell are you staring at me for? She demanded of him. "Take me home this instant"
Thundercracker knelt down to examine Leiana more closely. He could detect the rise in her heartbeat, the surge in her adrenaline levels and more clearly, see her shaking before him. He loved the look of fear crossing her pretty featured face. The way she trembled before him, the way she quivered at the sight of him. It was all so…beautiful.
"You, flesh creature, are in no position to be making demands of me." He snarled, putting his angular blue face close to the bars. "You are a prisoner of the Decepticons. You'll never see your home again!"
Despite her fear, Leiana's face curled in anger as she spat the Decepticon who'd made the mistake of coming too close to the bars. "Take that hard ass!"
"Bollix!" Rose groaned, swearing in her native British tongue. She clutched her head in her hands. "Feels like my head was squeezed in a rubbish compactor." She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and narrowed her sea blue eyes. "Bloody Hell, not again." She muttered and glared at Thundercracker. "If you're going to hold us captive mate, can you shut up about it till we get rescued!"
"I do not cater to the mere whims of humans!" Thundercracker exclaimed loudly, his burning red optics turning toward the British girl.
Rose sighed and rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You may as well give it up mate. This kidnapping bits been done before. Optimus Prime and the other Autobots will come rescue us despite this rather pathetic attempt at a trap you've set up."
"Watch who you're calling pathetic, meat bag!" Thundercracker hissed dangerously. It was a deadly dance with danger, toying with his temper like she was. He gnashed his long sharp jagged teeth in anger. He was Thundercracker, one of the seekers! Terror and fear should be shown him from his enemies, not outright confidence and mockery! Who did she think she was? He was the captor, they were the prisoners!
Rose laughed haughtily, tossing back her reddish brown hair. "You're a pathetic slagging, fraghead Thundercracker. Go fetch Starscream in here now. It's him I need to deal with. Not a bloody poser like you!"
Thundercracker's eyes absolutely boiled with rage at her words. He shook with anger and convulsed, his right optic twitching as he converted his forearm into a glowing cannon! He fired a minor blast into the side of the cell, barely missing the two humans by mere inches. It caused a slight rockslide at the very back of their prison cell, coating both femmes with bits of rock and dust. A nasty scorch mark was gashed into the side of the wall, smoldering and sizzling with heat.
Leiana crossed her arms over her rather impressive chest and rolled her eyes. "Well someone's a little sensitive isn't he?" She asked Rose.
Rose nodded and laughed. "Bloody baby." She scoffed.
That did it.
Thundercracker let out an ear piercing cry of pure malice. He got up and slammed his gigantic metal fist into the side of the wall, hitting the console with mammoth force! When the seeker removed his hand, the only thing clinging to the side of the wall was the device's sparking outer casing. Bits and piece of wiring hung limply from the wall, metal parts clanked loudly to the floor. The glowing green bars flickered in and out of existence before burning out completely. The very thing keeping them prisoner but also keeping Thundercracker away from them was gone!
"Not so brave now I see!" Thundercracker gloated as he watched the two human girls grab each other and take several steps back. He towered over them, a giant among the smaller humans. The blue seeker reached out a hand and swiftly snatched up Rose! He held her close to his magma colored eyes and watched as she struggled in vain to get free. "Let this be a lesson to you human!" Thundercracker snarled, holding her so close to his mouth that she could see her reflection glinting against his enormous jagged teeth.
"Never anger a Decepticon! Especially one that is ten times your size!" He slammed his free hand into the side of the wall, squeezing Rose tightly in his fist!
Rose gasped as her lungs constricted, forcing the air out of them! She could feel his grip growing tighter and tighter against her body, caging it, not letting her get any much needed oxygen. Her sea blue eyes bulged and watered as she fought desperately for breath. Rose could hear her ribs straining to keep from cracking under the pressure and her face began to turn a nasty shade of blue. Rose was struggling to stay awake, passing out right now wouldn't be good, but she wasn't sure she had much choice. Her black painted lips quivered as she gave Thundercracker her most hate filled look. She wasn't about to show any weakness to him.
"Where's your guardian now!" Thundercracker jeered, shaking the girl back and forth like a rag doll. Rose mouthed some inaudible words back at the enraged Decepticon.
Thundercracker slackened his grip on the gothic British girl, hissing at her like a cobra ready to strike. "Speak human. Beg me to stop. Let me hear your plea's right here." he said, pointing at the round flat earpiece that served as his audio receptor. He shoved Rose next to it, still keeping a grip on her, though now at least she could breathe.
Rose took deep ragged breaths. Oxygen flowed painfully but gratefully into her lungs. Her whole chest felt like it was on fire but she was thankful for any feeling there as opposed to her very life's breath being crushed out of her by a maniac Decepticon. When she was well enough to speak, she said it as a whisper very close to his audio receptor. "When Ratchet finds you, and finds out what you've done to me…" Rose coughed out, tasting blood in her mouth. A thin salty red tickle of blood slid slowly out of her mouth and ran down her chin. "You'll be lucky if they'll be anything left to salvage you bloody twisted son of a glitch!"
Thundercracker narrowed his already furious glowing red optics. "You have a rather large mouth for someone so small human." Thundercracker grunted through gnashed teeth. "Someone so easily broken!" He yelled out! Thundercracker took hold of her right arm delicately in his forefingers and pulled, an ever so gentle tug.
Rose cried out in pain and alarm as she heard and felt her shoulder become dislocated. Her face red with rage and agony, she glared at Thundercracker. Pain shooting up her arm as she shoulder hung limply out of place in his grip. "Bloody Wanker!" She screamed at him. "Filthy coward! Go sod off and fuck yourself!" Thundercracker pulled back his left fist and clenched it with an overwhelming rage building deep within his processor. He wound it up and was about to pummel the shaking dangling goth girl to a bloody pulp, despite direct orders to keep the humans alive.
Rose shut her eyes tightly, bracing herself for the strike of death that was sure to come any second now. The killing blow that would snuff out her very existence like a snowflake in a fiery breath. She screamed at the top of her lungs for help she knew would not come in time.
Suddenly, there came a horrible Earth shattering cry which echoed throughout the base hallway. At first, Rose thought it was Thundercracker, getting sick pleasure from ending her life before she opened her eyes and saw who had really made the ghastly sound. The voice sounded vaguely familiar, mixed with rage and alarm.
"THUNDERCRACKER!" Starscream roared, turning a corner and rushing down the base hallway. He ran so desperately, that he left long angular feet prints embedded deep within the rock and dirt of the base floor. The brown F-22 dove at his blue comrade, tackling him to the ground before he could do the unthinkable.
Sparks flew in every direction as the two enormous mechs wrestled each other on the dirt and fell over in an untidy heap.
When Thundercracker went down, his hand slammed hard into the ground, opening and sending rose tumbling to the ground. The red haired gothic beauty came rolling across the floor, slamming her head hard against a rock on the ground! Rose felt as if her head were about to explode in pain as she could feel a lump on her head already beginning to form. She tried to move her injured arm and immediately regretted it. Sharp stabbing pains shot up and down her right arm, her shoulder at an unnatural place. It was dislocated alright. Rose bit her lip, groaned and sat up. This is going to bloody hurt! Rose thought to herself. Her father, being a policeman, had taught her how to set bones, pop joints back in and the necessary field first aid techniques, but she'd never done it to herself before. She grunted, bit her lip and painfully popped her shoulder back into place!
"Rose!" Leiana cried out, running to her injured friend through the open cell. It had all happened in a manor of minutes. Leiana had frozen in horror at the scene that unfolded around her. When her new friend had been snatched up by the menacing Thundercracker, she'd been at loss for what to do. However could she help the British girl when she was up against a giant alien robot?
Rose blinked at the sound of her name and felt herself being carefully lifted to her feet. Her vision grew blurry and she felt dizzy as she attempted to walk. Rose lurched forward only to be caught by Leiana and become supported by the other girl taking her arm and wrapping it around her strong shoulder. Now, with care to keep their balance, the two girls began walking away from the squabbling Decepticons. "Need…bloody…tea…" Rose wheezed, ever word she said sprayed blood across her stitched up gothic tube top.
"Come on!" Leiana exclaimed as she watched the two mechs begin to get up off the floor. "We have to get out of here now! There's no time for tea!"
"There's always time for tea love." Rose smiled and laughed, clearly becoming quite delirious. "You me and Jade ducks! We should all get together for a jolly good time! I could teach you the proper Brit way to drink it!"
She must have hit her head really hard. Leiana thought to herself as she supported the goth girl and continued on, hoping they wouldn't be noticed.
"What in the slagging pit do you think you're doing!" Starscream demanded, dragging Thundercracker across the floor by his wing.
Thundercracker snarled and pulled away from the Decepticon aerial commander and rolled to his feet. "Teaching that obnoxious little whelp some respect!" Thundercracker retorted. "You should have heard what she said to me!"
"Imbecile! We need the humans alive you slagging scrapheap! To lure the autobots and keep our leverage! If you need to slake your lust for blood, take it out on the other one!" Starscream gestured toward the empty prison cell. He blinked both crimson optics in surprise when he beheld the broken wall console Thundercracker had destroyed. Starscream quickly scanned the area, searching for the missing humans. "Glitchhead, now I'll have to repair it!" He muttered, spying the two femmes trying to make their escape. "This one…" Starscream snarled possessively as he took a few thundering steps and plucked Rose off the ground. "Is mine." With that said, Starscream held Rose firmly in his hand and began walking away with her. "Do what you like with that other one. Just don't kill her. She may have a connection to the Autobots we don't have knowledge about."
"My pleasure." Thundercracker muttered, snatching up the fleeing Leiana in his palm and gripping her tightly in his fingers. Thundercracker held the quivering young curly haired girl up close to his optics and studied her more closely. She writhed deliciously against his painfully tight grip on her. Thundercracker smirked, showing off his gleaming jagged teeth. "So you thought you could escape did you foolish human?" The blue seeker sneered. He squeezed Leiana tighter, making her gasp as the air was forced out of her lungs. "You will never escape me!" He turned his wrist and held the frightened girl upside down. Leiana could feel her freckled face becoming red as blood quickly rushed to it. "Put me down tin can!" The girl cried out gasping for breath.
Thundercracker shrugged his enormous shoulders, his wing tips close to touching the ceiling. "As you wish human." he told her, opening his palm and letting her tumble face first toward the ground! It was a good fifteen foot drop and she knew she would never survive the fall onto solid rock!
Then suddenly, quick as lightening, Thundercracker caught her deftly with his other hand. Although she was grateful to be alive, landing on cold hard steel had been no picnic. Leiana groaned and lay sprawled across his palm stunned. Thundercracker looked at the girl laying across his hand, so small, so innocent, so fragile. He could break her, tear her into bloody pieces and smear them all about the cave walls like gruesome paintings. He could do anything he wanted to her and she was powerless to stop him. He smirked and breathed in her scent, lilac mixed with blood, sweat and fear making a perfumed musk that delighted his olfactory sensors. Thundercracker could feel her trembling as he slid his fingers over her small delicate body. He could feel her rapid heartbeat, racing, her adrenaline levels through the roof. He saw her fear, her terror shining in her eyes as she looked back at him.
"Let me go." She stated simply as if that would be enough to make it happen. "I don't know anything about this. Just let me go!"
"I have a much better idea." Thundercracker crooned softly holding the tanned girl's upper body with his right hand and gripping her lower body with his left. He bent her backwards ever so slowly, feeling her bones creak and bend, struggling to remain intact.
She closed her eyes, groaning with pain. It quickly turned to screaming as she could feel her very spine begin to contort! "Stop!" She cried out writhing in his hand, desperate to escape this torture. "Let me the fuck go!" She cried out. "What have I ever done to you?" She cried out, her cheeks flushed angrily.
Thundercracker took both of her arms between his fingers and began to pull them out gently. Leiana groaned and screamed again as she felt her shoulders straining and her limbs being pulled apart from her. Both shoulders became dislocated, bending at an awkward unnatural angle. He held her that way, stretching her to the fullest without breaking off her arms entirely. "It amuses me human." Thundercracker answered with his sinister smile still plastered across his angular face. "I could play with your weak fleshy body for hours as easily as a child plays with a doll. Yes, struggle, beg me some more, It excites me so."
"That's so nasty you sadistic pervert!" She cried out, struggling to kick out, wriggle away, anything she could to break free. Unfortunately she wasn't going anywhere.
Thundercracker stopped for a moment and just watched her struggling helplessly in his grasp. "Such a feisty little thing." Thundercracker said placing both her arms in between his fingers and pressing her against the side of the cave wall. "I like that in a human." He proceeded to scrape Leiana down the side of the wall, painfully, painfully slow.
She screamed again as she felt her flesh tear and rip against the side of the cave wall. He relished it, loved smelling her fear and hearing her vocalize her pain. Blood stained the side of the wall, bits and pieces of her torn flesh lay dead and peeling.
"PLEASE!" She cried out tears finally coming out of her eyes as she sobbed in pain and complete hopelessness. "PLEASE STOP!"
Something did stop Thundercracker right then. A pulse in his spark, shuddering throughout his entire metallic body. Maybe it was the way she said please, or the desperate way she cried out to him that made him cease his torture of her. Something Thundercracker couldn't understand, made him stop. His spark, a vile black thing deep within his chest beat incessantly louder against its casing as he looked at the female in his hand. He gently pried her away from the wall and laid her battered and ripped body across his palm.
She breathed heavily, her eyes wide with terror and shock as she looked up at him, again locking eyes. She was filthy, covered in dirt as well as her own dripping scarlet blood. Her clothes were torn as well as enormous patches of her skin.
Thundercracker narrowed his optics and clutched at his chest with his free hand. What was the meaning of this? He felt…something stir within himself. Something that made him want to stop hurting this human. Something he couldn't even begin to understand. "Come on then human." He grunted to her and began to walk away. "It's the human restoration chamber for you."
"Leiana…" She choked out, tasting blood in her mouth, trying not to move as the Decepticon carried her to who knew where. "My name's Leiana asshole."

Jade awoke slowly to the pain of the world around her. Skywarp had purposefully cut off the air supply in the cockpit so that she would pass out inside of it. He returned air back into the cockpit after that. He knew better than to allow her to see where the base was in case of her signaling the Autobots. She awoke to find herself inside an all steel grey room. It looked like some kind of hospital operating room. She turned to behold shelves of wicked looking tools lining the walls. None were rusty, by contrary they all looked sterile and brand new. Saws, scalpels, drills, blowtorches, wrenches, anything and everything you could think of lined the wall. She was even lying on a hard cold flat metal hospital bed with straps sticking out of the sides.
Jade gasped as realized that her watch that transformed into her exo-suit was missing. She quickly got off the hospital bed and looked around the room for a door. She discovered one and immediately made a run for it. The door opened up before she could even touch the handle and none other than her supposed pal Rumble entered the room. He was bearing a large metal tray with various items on it that she may have thought were his ideas of what human food would be. She almost laughed when she saw he wore a "kiss the cook" apron over his chest. She guessed he'd looked it up on the world wide web and formed a hologram over himself. He smiled at her and set the tray down on the metal operating bed. "Heya squishy." The small Decepticon said and gestured to the food. "Good to see you online, better fuel up."
Jade narrowed her eyes and stared at the various things he'd collected that he seemed to think were food for her. A dead rat, a crushed pepsi can, a half eaten apple, a ragged stuffed monkey, a watermelon and a perfect unopened bottle of mountain dew strange as it may seem.
Jade raised an eyebrow and placed her hands on her hips, finding amusement at the bot even though she was captured and he had betrayed her earlier. "Where did you get this stuff? You didn't kill that rat did you?"
"Nope, found everything inside what you humans call a dumpster when Barricade stopped to get fuel." Rumble answered simply as if it were the most natural thing in the world to say.
Jade looked over the "Food" warily and decided the watermelon wasn't so bad looking. "You wanna break that in half for me?" She asked as the purple con looked on at her.
"Sure, no problem." Rumble said karate chopping the watermelon in half, spewing seeds and watermelon juice all over the floor.
"Slick." She commented. Jade inspected the half that actually remained on the table and began eating it with her hands, spitting out the seeds on the floor. "So what's up with you Rumble?" Jade asked with a puzzled expression on her now red with watermelon face. "You seem chill to me. Why are you a con?"
Before Rumble could answer the door once again opened up. A tall thin man dressed in purple doctors scrubs entered the room. He had red glowing eyes and his face had a twisted look of someone about to enjoy something rather nasty. His arms bulged with muscles and he walked with an arrogant stride. Jade backed up against the wall, fear seizing up inside of her like a surging tide. She assumed this to be Skywarp's hologram.
"Rumble, leave the room while I make our guest comfortable." The seeker said in a warning tone that offered no room for argument.
"Ok, but remember, she's my pet and I get to play with her later." Rumble answered leaving the room and closing the door.
Jade glared at Skywarp, knowing that he would have had her in an instant if she'd tried to run for the door. He smiled coldly at the human girl and approached her. She lifted up her hand quickly, her eyes glowing an intense navy blue. Her whole body crackled with a blue energy as an energy shield wrapped her in a protective bubble. Her dark blonde streaked hair blue backwards, waving in the energy she'd created. "Don't touch me." She warned as Skywarp blinked in surprise at her.
"It would appear the data we received was correct." Skywarp sneered, approaching her despite the warning. "About the bond and its power." Skywarp marveled. "How long will you continue to drain the life out of your guardian? He's already in terrible, terrible condition. Do you think he can last much longer as you use his very life force to protect yourself." Skywarp smiled a cunning nasty smile at the girl before him. "You'll kill him if you keep that up. Lower your defenses immediately."
His words had their desired effect on her. Jade concentrated, already feeling her shield weakening. It was true, Skyfire was very weak and she was taking his energy. She sighed in defeat and withdrew her arm down. Skyfire needed all the energy he could get. Needed her to focus on healing him no matter what happened. Her eyes returned to their normal brown color and the shield disappeared. She was now at Skywarp's utter mercy. Or lack of as the case may be.
"There, now that wasn't so hard was it." Skywarp shoved her roughly to the ground with one hand and with the other swept off Rumble's tray of garbage food off of the operating bed and onto the floor. He picked her up by the scruff of her tank top and deposited her on top of the bed, holding her arms down and safely securing them and her legs. She was now lying on her stomach in an X position.
Jade shuddered bodily, pulling at the restraints that held her tightly. "Don't do this!" She yelled struggling to break free. "I swear to god Skywarp, Fuck with me and Skyfire will KILL YOU!" Jade shouted angrily. "It happened to Scorponok and It'll happen to you too! He's fucking twenty feet taller than you jackass! He could do it!"
"I rather doubt it." Skywarp retorted arrogantly. "As he's… what's that human expression…sleeping with the fishes at the moment." Skywarp reached over and pulled up Jade's tank top over her head, wrapping it around her eyes making her blind to his other actions. "You human females and your torture devices." Skywarp muttered, sliding Jade's bra upwards and over her head. She tensed, fearing the worst. "Put those disgusting thoughts out of your mind piece of human filth." The seeker sneered at her shuddering. He walked over to the "I, unlike Thundercracker and Starscream, have more imagination in my torture plans. A nice little present for you. Something that will remind you forever of the Decepticon power and of the weakness of your guardian to let you fall prey to us.
Jade didn't like the way he said that, or the sound of a drill spinning to life as Skywarp snatched it from the shelf. She shivered, struggling to see what he was doing, fighting against the bonds. She cried out in pain as the drill touched her bare flesh, grinding and carving out a path. Skywarp purposefully and painfully dug the drill along her back, tracing an all too familiar pattern into her flesh, leaving a trail of her blood behind it. Jade cried out and writhed in agony as the Decepticon symbol was literally carved all down her back. "Fuck!" She screamed, tears springing forth from her eyes. "Get the fuck away from me!" She hissed angrily, again pulling and struggling in her bonds to no avail. Her wrists were rubbed raw and bleeding from her desperate pulls at the restraints that tied her.
Skywarp ignored her cries and replaced the bloody drill back on the shelf. He selected a particularly sharp vicious looking knife and traced it along her back, fine tuning the design he'd already cut into her, smoothing out the edges in her flesh, chuckling to himself as he heard her whimpering and cries of agony.
"Stay perfectly still for this next step in the process." Skywarp warned her replacing the knife back on the shelf and grabbing a bubbling boiling hot pot of black liquid. "It's boiled oil ink and I'll be putting it directly into your skin so the less spilled the better. Otherwise I shall have to keep redoing it and you wouldn't want that would you?" he crooned to her, tipping the boiling hot ink right onto the bleeding cut flesh. Her shriek of absolute misery and agony was like music to his ears as he happily poured the contents of the sizzling pot onto her back.
"You may want to bite down on something human." Skywarp warned as he replaced the pot back on the shelf and picking up the blowtorch. "Because this is going to be excruciatingly painful."
Jade knew she wouldn't have too much time so she forced the tank top into her mouth and bit down, tensing as she heard the sound of the blowtorch being powered up. As soon as the bright blue flame touched the edge of her skin Jade bit down hard, muffled screams echoing throughout the room. She didn't care anymore. "God just fucking kill me now, I can't, I can't I just cant!" Jade prayed for death, a quick death to end this pain. Anything to release her from this torture, this burning Hell on her back. A release she knew would not come. She cried, hot tears of absolute misery falling down her cheeks as continued to endure Skywarp burning her skin to cauterize it. She rolled her eyes and let despair take her. Skyfire wasn't coming to save her from this horrible fate she'd been dealt. The damage had already been done. She could feel her body going into shock. Skywarp was nearly done cauterizing and sealing her newly carved Decepticon tattoo when Jade passed out from the pain, losing consciousness with serenity as it finally took her away from the pain. She sunk into deep blissful oblivion.
--
Optimus Prime paced back and forth inside the main computer control center inside the base. The leader was agitated to put it mildly. Communications from every angle were down. Arcee, Skyfire, Ratchet and Starscream were all missing from the base. Chromia's appearance did nothing to lift his spirits, only further sink him into irritation that he had not been made aware of her presence. She had had important news about the four Decepticons she had followed to Earth and it was them Optimus suspected, were behind his teams disappearance.
Optimus trailed a metallic finger down the bridge of his nose in tired irritation as he looked down at his charge Maggie Madson. She had her long curly blonde hair pulled back behind her head in a tight bun. She pulled her black cardigan down further over her shoulders as she typed away at the computer. Maggie and Glen were trying their hardest on the computers to get the communications at the base back up again, with little success. She chewed hastily on her silver painted nails out of nervous habit. She could feel Optimus's anxiety and matched it with her own. They hadn't heard from their friends all day and Bumblebee had come back looking like he'd just lost a fight with a trash compactor saying that he'd been attacked by Decepticons and Michaela had been captured.
Optimus knelt down to study the smaller computer monitor. "Any luck getting the communications back online yet?" he asked his charge and lover.
Maggie sighed, slouching down in the chair and putting her head in her hands. "No." She said with her thick Australian accent. "We havn't had any luck Optimus, since the last time you asked, five minutes ago. Or since you asked before that, ten minutes ago." She said, not unkindly, but in an exhausted frustrated way.
"We're tryin the best we can man." Glen added, taking a bite out of a donut. There was an enormous half eaten plate of them next to him. He furrowed his brow, adjusted his glasses and licked the frosting off his fingers before getting back to work. "Give her a break, she's been working hard."
"I apologize." the leader nodded his head toward Glen. "I am only anxious about our missing comrades as you are Maggie."
Maggie smiled and sighed happily as she felt strong muscular arms slide around her waist. She felt soft whiskered kisses tickling along the back of her neck as Optimus in his solid hologram form pulled her up out of her seat. Normally Optimus just wouldn't do that to Maggie in front of other people, it just wasn't proper of him as the leader of the Autobots. They both preferred such displays of affection in private. That didn't stop the leader this time from relishing his spark partner with soothing attentions.
It felt good to relax for a moment in her lover's arms. Maggie swooned at the sight of her handsome mate and placed a rosy kiss upon his lips. Glen glanced over at the couple as they began to make out and pulled a face. What was it with the girls and the Cybertronians. What did they do to make all these hot women fall in love with them?
"Dang tinman's getting more action than me." Glen muttered shaking his head and continued working. He clucked his tongue in worry as he thought about all the missing bots and their respective humans. "Hope we can get communications up soon, else all Hell's gonna break loose." He thought about what he'd just said and blinked, adjusting his big red glasses. "If it gone down already."
