[]I'M SOOO SORRY DEDICTAED READERS! I'm back from my hiatus though so.. here's an update for you! Enjoy. []
Liana rolled over in her crate, curled up into a tight little ball and her head resting on her arm. She had been exhausted from her adventure in the woods and was enjoying the little rest.. Even though she was still being held prisoner in the Decepticon base. As soon as Starscream had deposited her back in the crate she had closed her eyes to get the sleep she needed. Sure, she wasn't happy with her situation, but she had to get used to it for now. There really wasn't any chance of her escaping any time soon.
Professor Sumdac peered at the crate from his own prison. He allowed himself a tiny smile, that girl almost made it out of here. Poor child... He thought, turning back to what he was previously working on. She doesn't deserve the be locked up in here.. She's so young. Sighing softly he stared at the tools in his hand, suddenly not feeling like working anymore. Looking at the tiny clock he had made quite a while ago it read '10:23 AM'. Stroking his chin he finally shrugged. I could take a little rest as well, just a cat nap.. With that the man had laid down as well, enjoying the rather quiet morning.
Meanwhile Liana was shifting around in her crate again, apparently having quite the dream. She rolled over again and mumbled something in her sleep. Suddenly she just sat up straight and let out a loud irritated groan.
"Goddamn it!" She wailed, gripping her head tightly. Breathing heavily she glared at the side of the crate, like it was the crate's fault she was stuck in here.
Grumbling she reached into her pocket and nabbed her iPod. The innocent touch pad device stared back at its owner and the screen came to life. A photo of Deadmau5 lit up the screen and flashed like rave lights. Moving past the screen she searched through her music. Moving from from A to P.
With a slight smirk she cranked the volume up to max and the music poured from the small device. Rapid drum and base rhythms rocked the crate and Liana jumped up strumming an air guitar. Whipping her head to and fro her hair swung around her in a mighty mass as the speed of the song sped up. Quietly she mumbled the lyrics to the song when lyrics did occur.
Professor Sumdac sighed, but smiled. Seeing as his nap hadn't even began and the young woman had started making all sorts of racket he just lie there and listened to the sounds coming from across the room.
. . .
Starscream's optics onlined as he heard the music coming from down the hall. Laying motionless on his berth for several moments he sighed audibly. He knew that Liana must be awake now, and maybe she was just trying to annoy the slag out of him and his associates. Or perhaps she was bored to tears..
Either way, she had awoken him from his peaceful recharge and soon enough would pay the girl a visit. For the moment, however, he didn't want to move. His stabilizing servos still ached from his trek through the woods the day before.
Soon the rhythm of the song changed to the bass dropping stylings of dubstep, to the seeker's annoyance. The constant 'wubwubwubwub' noises were driving his audio receptors crazy at this early in the day for the mech. Slamming his fist into his berth he finally sat up straight as the bass made a massive drop causing Starscream's receptors the literally vibrate, due to how sensitive they were. Grabbing some energon he swiftly exited his quarters and stalked down the hall to the room where Liana and the Professor were currently being held.
As he passed Megatron's quarters he was careful to tip-toe quietly past, lest his Lord would come out of recharge himself and beat the ever living slag out of the second in command for waking him.
Silently he thought of how to pester the young woman today. Well, there certainly is countless ways.. but what would be perfect for this morning?.. He thought to himself, slowing his pace a bit to take a sip of his energon.
"Hmm.. I guess we'll cross that road soon." He murmured aloud, proceeding into the storage room.
. . .
Liana huffed, satisfied with her dubstep this morning she switched to a different song. Scrolling up to the L's and selecting Lights by Ellie Goulding. Leaning against the back of the crate she placed her iPod on her lap and sighed contently. Bobbing her head a bit to the beat she mouth the lyrics silently.
'You show the lights that stop me turn to stone.
You shine It when I'm alone.
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong.
And dreaming when they're gone.'
However, the first verse had passed and a firm frown adorned Liana's face. Her body bounced slightly from the tremors of a certain mech. Exhaling through her nose she glared upward to see Starscream staring down at her with a fanged grin.
"Good morning, Liana."
"Hi." She answered turning the volume of her iPod down and folding her arms over her chest.
"What're you listening to, human?"
"Non-ya-damn-business." Liana rolled the compiled word off her tongue then snorted.
"What? You can't tell me? And I thought we were starting to become good friends."
"Yeah in your dreams, asshole."
Starscream scowled at the young woman and placed his servo on the floor of the crate and looked at her expectantly. Liana glared at the hand before finally complying and hesitantly crawling onto his palm with media device in hand. Feeling the wicked sense of vertigo, she was lifted from the crate.
"So, human, what shall we be doing today?" Starscream asked as he walked out of the storage room and back into the halls of the Decepticon base.
"I don't want to do anything with you for one." She grumbled, "For two, stop thinking that we're friends, because we're not."
"Oh-ho, but do you not remember how I saved your life?" Starscream sneered, flexing his claws in a clear warning. The DJ swallowed roughly and shrugged her shoulders.
"Okay, so you saved my life. That doesn't make us friends. And let's be honest, you don't even want a human as a friends." She scoffed, "I mean aren't we just useless and dirty creatures anyway?"
"Hmph, you're right there. But as property of the Decepticons, I can do whatever the slag I want with you." He paused than added, "So long as it doesn't involve, well, permanent.. damage." He chuckled and continued down the hall.
Liana was silent for a while after that, silently thinking of all the ways Starscream could manage to mess with her further, or hell, even hurt her!
The seeker stepped into the throne room. It was empty, but her DJ equipment was still set up on one side. Starscream walked towards it then promptly set Liana down at the large amount of music altering equipment. Crossing his arms he watched her for a moment. She just stared blankly back at him.
"What?"
"Why don't you mix something?"
"Like what?"
Now Starscream gave her a blank stare.
"Oh, right. You don't know anything about music.. right." Glancing down at her iPod she plugged it into one of the various jacks. Moving her hands over the equipment the basic beat of the song Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5. Spinning her hands on the records, she grinned as a wicked nice sound came from the speakers. Switching to a different audio device she mixed the song.
A catchy beat caught in the air with a bit of dubstep, the throne room could have been a rave party. The repetitive phrase of 'Moves like jagger' was caught in a House stylized repeat, the went back to the previous verse.
Starscream's jaw proceeded to drop for a second time. He had never heard such catchy beats in his entire life. His stabilizing servo was tapping along to the beat and soon his head was nodding along as well.
Liana peered at the seeker and snickered. The song was rather catchy already, so it wasn't hard to come up with another flexibly catchy beat to remix. It looked a bit silly, seeing a giant fucking robot jamming out to a song like this. If anyone record this, it would be an internet sensation in a day. Note to self: if ever released from Decepticons, make sure to make recording of a dance party to put on the internet. She thought to herself and flipped a few switches on her well tuned machine to speed up the beat, right before the song was coming to an end for a blow out ending.
Crossing her arms again she grinned at Starscream. He was looking away from her rather sheepishly, like he was afraid to admit he actually really liked the remix.
"So?"
"So, what?" He answered.
"Did you like it?" Liana pressed.
"It was.." The seeker searched for the proper wording. "Satisfactory." He nodded and added a fanged grin. Liana rolled her eyes at this and sighed shortly.
"Now what?"
"Hmm.. Well I was thinking-"
"GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!" Blitzwing's voice rang out throughout the throne room, the smiling jack-o-lantern face appeared and pranced over to Liana. Quickly swiping her up and raising her to optic level.
"How are jou doing this fine morning, Liana?" Blitzwing sang happily.
"Fine, you crazy fucking robot." Liana spat venomously.
"Ohhh, you're nasty this morning!" Blitzwing chuckled and set Liana back on the stage. Making a pouty face, Liana stalked to the other side of the platform, as far away from the crazy three-faced robot as she could possibly could get.
The triple changer's face spun, revealing the calm blue face.
"Starscream, aren't you supposed to be on patrol?"
The seeker scoffed, putting a servo to his chest.
"What? I thought it was Lugnut's turn! I watched the human all day yesterday I deserve a day to myself, my stabilizing servos ache, my wings hurt I-"
"I don't care, do as you're told." Icy snapped back.
"Fine, whatever." Slowly his gaze turned to Liana. "Have you ever been flying before?"
