Chapter 10

" I-I still don't want you in here! " she spluttered, gulping down her humiliation.

" Do you really want me to go, honey? You seem pretty flushed right now. I think you like me. " he whispered, walking a bit closer to her.

Pixel looked up at him with wide optics as he got closer. There was no where for her to run, she was trapped here with this incubus. Her plating turned blood red as he put his servos on the wall, her helm trapped between them. He smirked as he caught sight of the bow. A pointed digit brushed the silky material.

" What a cute collar the commander gave you. It looks very beautiful on you. But do you really want me to go...? " he purred, leaning in so close that when he talked, his lips nearly brushed her own.

The poor fembot fumbled with her words, eliciting a smirk from Knock Out.

" Tell me to go. " he said, raising the servo to stroke her right cheek.

Pixel closed her optics, expecting the caress, but it never came. The timid femme looked up in surprise and realized why. Soundwave was holding Knock Out's arm with one of his claws.

" Out. " the older brother growled, talons digging into the narcissistic mech's arm plating.

" Come now, Soundwave. I was only paying the fembot a visit. Why would you care anyways? She's just a little Auto-femme. Nice voice by the way. Didn't know you had one. " Knock Out chortled, wincing from the pain in his arm.

It was evident that Knock Out made a mistake as Soundwave flung him from the room.

" I'm going! I'm going! " the mech yelled as he ran hurriedly away. But it was well known that he wouldn't be gone for long. Knock Out had his sights set on that pretty little femme. He wanted to obtain something so innocent.

Pixel watched with a mix of surprise and mild amusement. But her attention was drawn back to her brother.

" Bubba...? You...helped me...? " she whimpered, looking up at Soundwave. The mech gave a slight nod as he offered her his servo.

His little sister flinched as his sharp talons wrapped around her own servo. Her brother had not always looked this way... She remembered when his now cruel, red eyes had been just as azure as her own. Pixel found herself holding back tears as she slipped off the berth.

Soundwave found himself looking at his little sister. Memories of taking care of her and Arcee flashed through his processor. He remembered the days when they were younglings and he'd pretend to be the big, bad Decepticon who wanted to destroy the innocent fembot. Arcee would always save the day at the end because the Autobot always won.

It was funny how true things had turned out. Except this time, Arcee was not going to save the day. Though it was interesting to Soundwave how Pixel had remained the same for so long. She still had those big, trusting optics that made his spark tinge. It was like she had never grown up.

" Bubba... can I see your face...? Please...I hate looking at that screen... " she pleaded, optics staring up at the visor he called a face.

A soft smile graced her lips as he granted her wish, popping the visor off for her to see his true face. His red optics stared apathetically down at her. But to see his face was enough for her. She just wanted her big brother back, not the computer he had became in his long absence.

But as she reached out a servo to touch the face she had not seen in years, her brother turned away. It was against his new programming to feel anything toward an Autobot...even if it was the only thing of his old life that he cared about. But even if it was against everything he was taught, he still loved her. Not as an Autobot but as the little sister that had always followed him like a puppy.

" I'm...sorry that I can not do more for you, Pixel... I've already disobeyed many orders to do this much for you. Especially coming into my commander's private quarters and harming the chief of medical care on this ship. Please do not ask me for more because I can not. " he told her, his claw squeezing her servo gently.

Pixel gave him a tiny smile and nodded. She just appreciated the things he had done for her. Who knows where she would've been right now. For all she knew, she might have been under Knock Out right now...whimpering his name... Of course she did not want to interface with a Decepticon but Knock Out had a way of making her feel...tingly? How else could she describe something she had never felt before?

If he wanted to play with her, she wasn't sure if she would object too much. A femme still had her needs even if she didn't know what those needs were. Though Starscream's sudden intrusion made her thoughts go astray.

" Soundwave! Just what do you think you're doing snooping around my room? " the seeker screeched, busting in with wings flared out.

Pixel cringed back as he stormed forward. As soon as he had heard the door open, Soundwave had quickly slipped the visor back on. He didn't need Starscream knowing his other little secret.

Before Starscream could rant farther, Soundwave played the recording of what Knockout had said to him.

" Come now, Soundwave. I was only paying the fembot a visit. Why would you care anyways? She's just a little Auto-femme. " Soundwave mimicked, leaving out the part about his voice.

Starscream seethed in anger as he listened. Knock Out had went too far this time. The femme was his property and he'd be damned if he allowed Knock Out to disobey him. He had taught him a lesson for racing but it seemed he'd have to teach him different one this time.

Pixel looked at the irate seeker. She did not want to be left with this mech alone. But a clever idea intruded her quick mind.

" Starscream, sir, I know this isn't the time but I'm rather hungry. It's been a long while since I've eaten anything. " she said, poking out her bottom lip in a cute fashion. She knew it worked when the seeker's angry snarl turned into a predatory smirk.

" Of course you are, sweet spark. " he purred, gently pinching her bottom lip then turning to Soundwave, " Take my pet to get something to eat. I won't have her starving, understand? "

Soundwave merely nodded his helm apathetically and led her away.

" I knew the Decepticon oil in your circuits would show itself someday, Pixel. It seems you have a knack for deceiving idiot mechs. " Soundwave said once out of ear shot.

" D-Decepticon o-oil...? "
