In the darkness, Lennox had been left alone. Days had passed since his 'death' and he had seen no one, even Shockwave had not come for him in all this time. Will was both relieved and scared. Relieved because his body and his mind had a chance to heal, to recover from what had been done to him. And scared because in all that time had neither drank nor ate anything, he was becoming weaker, he could barely crawl to his corner. His thoughts were sluggish but he was certain that he hadn't been forgotten, no this was some kind of game the Decepticons were playing. He fingered the rosary in his pocket once again, mouthing the comforting prayers. He wondered if the Decepticons were going to just let him die of starvation, or maybe as he tried to swallow, dehydration. He just hoped if he was going to die because of this that it happen soon.

Still mouthing the prayers he fell asleep.

Will was awoken as he was lifted up in the air to look into Shockwave's single optic. Will didn't even try to hold the mech's gaze, instead he let his head fall to his chest. The mech chuckled.

"Not much fight in you know is there human. It seems like Cybertronians, you weaken and come to a point of death if you do not receive nourishment. From just one week your body has lost 12.25 pounds, all of it fat. Its seems as if your body was dissolving your stores of fat to stay alive. In my estimate you will be dead within the next 24hrs."

Will just lay limp in Shockwave's claws. From his fingers slipped his rosary, landing on the floor. Shockwave's optic focused onto it, bending down he picked it up with a single claw. Accessing the internet he looked up the meaning of the beads.

"Oh, Major Lennox, your God is not going to save you. I am the one who decides on what becomes of you, your life, your soul as your kind calls it, is mine."

Shockwave dumped Will onto the ground dropping the rosary next to him and walked out leaving Will in darkness once again. Will lay on the ground unable to find the strength to pull himself up, the only thing he could manage was to reach out and grab the beads, before passing out.

Blockade was walking around the base, Barricade had dampened the bond, so Blockade was by himself for the moment. He stopped and moved to the side as he saw Shockwave approaching, he hated Shockwave. His single optic was devoid of all emotion, of all light. Blockade feared Shockwave more than Megatron. Blockade felt dread as Shockwave stopped right in front of him.

"Decepticon Blockade is it?"

"Yes Sir, I am Blockade"

"Have some food brought to that thing in Hanger B"

"Yes Shockwave"

Shockwave studied Blockade a moment before walking away. Blockade let out the breath he had been holding. Of all the Mech's in the universe he was worried the most about Shockwave finding out his secret.

Blockade made his way to where the human food had been stored. He couldn't help but notice the cloud of dust that flew up as he pulled the drawer open. He wondered if the human had been feed at all in the past week as he made a sandwich. Blockade remembered when Prowl had went hungry for Barricade and himself back on Cybertron. Even thinking of the human going hungry had Blockade piling more food onto the plate he was making, until it threatened to fall over. Balancing the plate in his right palm he grabbed a jug of water and headed for Hanger B. He passed no one along the way.

He opened the door, turning of the light as he did. His optics roamed the room, immediately going to the human. He excepted the human to crawl to the corner like he had the last time Blockade had entered, but the human didn't move at all. Blockade gently set the food down and approached the human. Each step Blockade excepted the human to wake up, and each step he was surprised. Finally his foot was right next to the human and it hadn't moved an inch. He carefully knelt down and poked the human gently in the side. When the human didn't respond Blockade gently began to scan him and was shocked at what the results were.

He gently scooped the human up and headed back to where he had set the food and water. According to his scans the human was dieing of dehydration and starvation. Some of his systems were already shutting down. He made himself comfortable on the ground and picked up the jug, using the tip of his claw he flicked off the top of it. Cupping the human in his hand, he tipped back his head. He gently began to pour the water down the humans throat a little at a time. He finally started to come around after Blockade had managed to get a pint down him.

Lennox felt a cool wetness flowing down his throat. He wondered if he was dreaming of water, and if he was it was a great dream. Until a trickle went down the wrong pipe, he began to cough, the wetness stopped. When it subsided he felt his mouth pulled open again and the wetness began again. Lennox than knew that it wasn't a dream. He opened his eyes and nearly chocked as he looked into red optics. For a wild second he thought it was Shockwave, until he realized that there were two optics instead of one. As he stared at the mech he realized that it was the blue mech that had brought him the sandwich.

The mech had paused as Lennox woke up. The water jug still hanging in his claws. Lennox went rigid as he realized that he was in the mech's hand.

"Be still human, I'm not going to hurt you" spoke the mech. Lennox stared at the mech, before letting his body go limp again. The mech nodded before bringing the jug back up, Lennox opened his mouth and allowed himself to drink the water as it was poured in. The more he drank the more he wanted, the water also awoke his hunger as it growled. When the mech heard this, and set the water down. When his hand came back up, Lennox saw the most beautiful sight, a plate loaded with food. Lennox struggled to set up fully as the mech set the plate right in his lap. His hand shaking he picked up a piece of bread and bit down. Once the bread hit his stomach he had to have more, he knew that should go slow, but he didn't care as he began to chow down. He was able to finish half the plate before his stomach proclaimed that it was full.

Blockade had watched the organic eat, and was surprised at how much he ate. He didn't say nothing until the human was finished.

"Human when was the last time you were feed?"

The human looked up at him. "Shockwave said a week" he answered in a raspy voice.

Blockade just nodded, thinking. Lennox studied the mech, he never expected to be treated so gently by a Decepticon. If he let his mind wander he could imagine that he was in Ironhide's hand again. Will could already feel the effects of the food, as his eyes began to slid shut from being so full. Blockade shifted underneath him and he felt himself being set down. The sound of the plate and jug being set down next to him.

"Good night human" he heard the mech say as he stood up.

"It's Will" whispered Lennox as he drifted off.

Blockade paused at the door way as he heard the whispered words. It would never be just human anymore, Blockade could never just think of the human as just a human, it now had a name Will.

The week following Will's murder was a hard week at Diego Garcia. Sarah barely adventured out of her room. Ironhide had parked his alt-mode outside the door and spent most of his time with Sarah and Annabelle using his holoform to comfort them. They only ventured out on Ratchet's insistence for a medical check-up. As Sarah lay in the med-bay, her mind realized how quiet it was at the base. Even the Chevy twins were quiet, they hadn't had a fight all week.

As Ratchet scanned her, she kept her hand held tight in Ironhide's holoform. He was her rock during all this, never wavering. Ratchet began to do an ultrasound, stopping when he had a clear picture of the baby.

"Congratulations Sarah, it's a boy" he said gently.

Sarah gazed at the ultrasound at her baby, watching his heartbeat. "Will always hoped to have a boy, to give Annabelle a baby brother" she whispered.

Ironhide squeezed her hand. "He would have been proud."

"Ironhide he should be here, he should be jumping for joy at the news" she said fighting the tears that welled up in her eyes.

"I know Sarah, I know" Ironhide began to rub his thumb across the back of her palm.

Out in outer space, Prowl's pod floated by the moon.

Decided to split Prowl's story into chapters that I'll use as filler's. In the next couple of chapters, Prowl will finally reach earth. Sorry for the long wait, please review!
