*Part 14*

Violet had been slowly counting the days, grateful that her internal chronometer was working and had not yet been affected by all these changes she was going through.

For the last fortnight, another layer of soft metallic skin had begun to replace her human looking one, her complexion now completely a silver colour. Some spots had even started to harden into metal plates, especially around her joints. She no longer had to worry about clothes now, being that all over she was reminiscent of a machine or humanoid cyborg with human like hair and eyes.

How hard her skin actually was now, she did not know as she had nothing really to test it on other than the Cassette twins who were still fervently annoying her like the delinquents they were. She often had to defend herself against them on a verbal level as they had taken their bullying to extremes at times. She avoided using her martial skills as much as she could to stay out of trouble, but was fast becoming short tempered with them.

Due to her increase in size, being that she was now about a metre taller than both of the twins, instead of being two thirds their size like before, she was now taller than the average human by nearly twice the size. At least with her being this tall and robotic looking, she was less regarded with disgust as she did odd work around the base in Soundwave's company.

Due to whatever reasons, she was still functional and being kept in Soundwave's lab on Megatron's orders. She figured she must still hold some value in some form or another. She assumed she was being watched like some kind of experiment, and was glad her journal and notes had yet to be discovered.

So she just bided her time and put up with them as best she could until she could find a way out of this predicament herself, being that she knew her Aunt had declined to rescue her. She hadn't taken that news well when told, but she understood in a way why her Aunt may have chosen that, she may have some things she could learn while here, she was used to her Aunt giving her some missions to do here and there, this would be no different.

But it wasn't always been peaches and cream.

She'd already suffered the humiliation about a week and a half ago of being left at the mercy of the Constructicons. The experience was mind numbing if not interesting to say the least as it had allowed her to discover things about herself also, even if at the mercy of these weird Decepticon Combiners.

They had been ordered by Megatron to input some new control programs into her cerebral cortex but had found the programming they had first taken a scan of when she came into their company no longer accessible no matter how hard they tried to hack into it.

She was originally told that when she would reach about fifty Earth years her changes would start naturally, but here she was less than that. She was also told that when the changes started, her CPU and it systems would find extra ways to protect itself from any outside influences while going through the process till it was complete.

Hook had attempted to initiate a core control program, like the one that was running in the component around her neck but something that ran within her systems instead, being that the femme had outgrown the cables that were attached to her spinal array.

Megatron had come to the conclusion that if she was indeed growing and evolving like that of a sparkling into an adult mechanoid then it would favour him to have control programs in place inside her cerebral cortex before her systems finished their progress so that he may control her.

He did not have the resources of Shockwave to bring his Cybertronian Commander to Earth to work past the barriers that would inevitably develop within the femme's CPU and so had to rely upon the limited resources of the Constructicons to carry out his plan.

Unfortunately it hadn't worked.

Her progression from an android human to sparkling was too quick and she was growing fast, the more energon she was being fed. A mistake Megatron made on his part to garner the power of this femme quicker and Hook was not able to secure the program within her systems in time.

But Megatron had come to a new conclusion, that the collar had been blocking the power flow that her brother had shown previously. He'd had no collar which was Starscream's first mistake, but she had and so far had shown no ounce of power. And so he had it removed. Not that it would have helped to stay on any longer anyhow.

In the past week her old abilities had started to return. She'd hoped to use them secretly to help her survive in this place as it didn't look like she'd be able to do so without them. She was grateful that she had been able to keep the power hidden so far, but she guessed it wouldn't be for long.

Since he could no longer get access to the femmes CPU, Megatron instead had Hook fashion some control bracelets for the femme to keep her subservient as required and on their base and so she could be studied more for this power she supposedly had.

Somewhere on the Decepticon's underwater base.

"What do you mean you don't remember?" Megatron growled, "Starscream you've been noticeably absent for two weeks since Skywarp and Thundercracker reported you missing, and you have the gall to claim you don't know where you've been?"

Starscream did actually remember everything, but for some reason he could not put together the ability to bring it out of his vocalisers and say something. Every time he tried to utter the words, he was encumbered by a pain in his CPU that stopped him from talking about it, and he was finding it as frustrating as the Pit.

"Get out of my sight." Megatron bellowed.

Starscream soured his expression and reluctantly left the room. He was too weak to protest. He had barely made it back here after awakening in some out of the way Airport hanger. How he had gotten there he could not recall.

He had not really remembered that much from the last two weeks but had felt all the bruises and scratches and abrasions to his beautiful paint job that his father had dealt him.

But still, he had been able to talk about the fact he had seen Reignfire. This had been of much interest to Megatron, the fact that a former General of his whom he thought had been terminated in the destruction of that ship, was still functional, as were several other Decepticons whom Starscream had seen. What troubled him more was why these soldiers had not returned to them.

Starscream however didn't talk about the other matter that Reignfire had mentioned in regards to the younglings. This matter he would follow up on himself. In regards to the female youngling, it was the first thing he had noticed when he returned to the base and he had grinned.

Megatron sat in his control room chair pondering on the little scraps of information Starscream had been able to seemingly give him and wondered to himself about this turn of events. A shuffling of feet nearby reminded him that the small femme was still finishing some repair work in the control room. But with him being annoyed by Starscream he wasn't really in the mood for company.

He vented out. He wanted to keep this femme as close as possible either in his company or with Soundwave. Starscream couldn't be trusted with her now that the power he believed she had may begin to show any time now. "Return to Soundwave's quarters and stay there until ordered to leave by either myself or Soundwave."

She had no choice but to accede to the command.

But when she got to the door to Soundwave's lab, she had been beaten there by Starscream. He was leaning against the wall, outside the closed door. What he was doing there she didn't know, but she couldn't exactly try and escape him as she had been ordered to stay in the lab until further notice and the Seeker was blocking the door.

Starscream had figured she would either be kept in the control room, around Megatron or here with Soundwave and took a chance in choosing to come here.

She tried to slow down and find a way around him but he wasn't exactly avoidable, nor was he small like she was. The compulsion inside her head to get into the lab was throbbing in her every moment she chose to wait to try and get around him, but it wasn't helping any.

As much as she tried to evade him, he finally got close enough to shoot her with his null rays and carry her off.

She awoke sometime later somewhere other than the hallway in which she was previously, only to find she wasn't alone.

She had been placed on some kind of plush couch in some fancy room. She recognised the usual walls of the Decepticon base and surmised she must be in someone's personal quarters.

"I see that you are finally online again." Mused the Air Commander.

She looked up at the looming form, not at all trusting of the reputation this one had over the rest of the Decepticons she had met over the last few weeks. She was presuming he was more dangerous than some of the others she had met thus far and was wary of him, despite not being afraid. She had also noticed that Starscream had cleaned and fixed some of his injuries while she was out of it, meaning she may have been offline for quite some time.

She thinned her optics, "What do you want?"

"So what do you think of all this business about Reignfire?" He asked coyly. He had taken note of her expression when Reignfire had been talked about in the control room.

She hesitated, knowing she was not compelled to answer anything he asked for. She had been listening in but couldn't speak up.

"I asked you a question femme, what do you think of this information I had about Reignfire?" She mumbled something under her breath that Starscream didn't quite catch. "You are going to have to speak louder if you want to be heard, especially if you want to maintain your usefulness femme, I am not one to be trifled with. Now answer the question again and do so this time so that I can hear you clearly." He demanded.

She really didn't want to tell him anything about her Grandfather. She knew that he had some past dealings with the Decepticons before but was completely unaware of any relations he had in regards to any importance or rank he had. The fact that he didn't act like any Decepticon she had seen, made her wonder about her Grandfather and what he had told her about himself.

But the problem was Starscream was more astute than Violet gave him credit for. "Well?" He knew she was hiding something.

She looked up at him curiously, "Well what?" She asked back, "There is nothing to tell." She tried to hide.

Starscream could tell that the small femme was holding out on him, but considering she was not under his control, she could either lie or be honest.

"Nothing? Really?" He said smugly, "I heard differently. Reignfire seems to hold both you and your brother in high esteem as his personal possessions." He spat out the last part with such vehemence she thought she was going to be hit by the Seeker, considering the murderous look that was now on the Seekers faceplate. He wasn't going to let a little prat like this small femme think he was intensely jealous of the attention his father now garnered towards her and her brother.

She figured it was dangerous to try and bargain with him, but she was sure she could get around him with carefully placed information.

"You know I don't have to answer your questions, right?" She could be coy also.

Starscream looked at her wrist, as did she. She noticed that she only wore one of them now. She had also realised that the inner compulsion to want to return to Soundwave's lab as ordered wasn't as strong as it should have been, she had let it slip from her mind as a result, not noticing one of the wristbands had been removed.

She'd cottoned onto Starscream's bribe for information almost immediately, but she wasn't going to talk very quickly. "Unlocking one of my control braces isn't going to get me to be that co-operative." She revealed.

He raised his arm guns and clicked the triggers, "Then perhaps I should destroy you on the spot little femme."

"And what purpose would that serve. You wouldn't get your questions answered and then you'd have to explain to Megatron why you broke his new toy." She didn't like referring to herself in that fashion, but if she had learnt anything from being in the company of her Aunt and friends, it was how to manipulate words, just as she had been doing with the others these last few weeks while being their prisoner.
Starscream grunted and then sat down and lounged on the other end of the couch. This femme had spent possibly her entire life amongst humans and as a result did not think like a mere child of their kind or even his own would.

At that moment she felt the pang of a near empty fuel reserve and her tank growled in hunger for more fuel, it had been low when she had headed over to the lab, and she would have refuelled there had it not been for Starscream's intervention.

All Starscream did was grin, as sitting on the table in front of the couch was two sealed flasks of energon, both full, and both smelling very enticing to Violet as she stared at both in earnest.

"Tell me what I want to know femme, and perhaps I will see to it that one of these two flasks is yours." He chimed.

At first he had not actually believed that he had been gone for two weeks, but considering how much the femme had changed since he was on the base last, she could only be going through the usual sparkling evolution programs and would be hungry for fuel all the time, and bribing her with energon was a last resort. Being she had not been co-operative so far, he would have to use them.

And so before she had awoken he had poured energon into two plass flasks from his private stores as well as refuelling himself and waited for her to come online again.

She didn't want to be subject to that kind of blackmail, but she was starving for fuel. "The name's Violet." She burst out; she was tired of being called 'femme' by the 'Cons. "No need for you to call me 'femme' all the time. I have a name, use it."

Starscream snorted at her indignant attitude towards him and was so very close to raising his hands to injure her to tell him what he wanted, but he must stick to the plan and not lay a digit on her so as to draw Megatron's attention in any way.

With Violet's changes coming on harder and faster now, she was always needing fuel. Megatron was fine with letting her consume the energon, to which she was already taking a large fuel ration, just so he could get his digits on her power and use her as a weapon for his purposes. She knew that the Decepticon leader and perhaps a few others knew she was Cybertronian but certainly differently made than the normal mechanoid, and Megatron wanted that power for himself and his cause, even if it meant making her a slave to his will.

Since being brought here this was a possibility Violet had to face. It was no different than other situations she had been in, only this time she wasn't dealing with humans, but her own kind.

She knew she was serving a purpose by being here, but she did not know why or how she was supposed to survive here on the Decepticon base and for how long. Her Aunt had not told her much other than telling her to try and make the most of it.

She just wasn't looking forward to the days ahead and she hoped that when the time came, she would be able to decide she wanted to go home to her family. She knew exactly what could happen to captives when they were incarcerated for long periods of time with the enemy and she didn't want to become one of them.

For a moment though, it made her wonder, that wherever her brother was in his time lost state, if he was going through something similar, whether he would one day return home also.

Starscream had the same designs on the androids that Megatron had, he wanted them for himself for the strange yet powerful forms they represented and could possibly be. He also wondered how many more like these two were out there, who had designed and built them, and whether he could manipulate this one into working for him, to make his own army against Megatron.

Violet so wanted to just grab the flasks and make a run back to the lab, but a quick glance at the door to Starscream's quarters told her she wouldn't make it. The door was most likely locked. And Starscream would probably shoot her with his null rays before she got off the couch and she would be back to square one again. That and she wasn't big enough to carry them both full, running back the whole way.

"Tell me about Reignfire?" Starscream stressed to her again. He put a plass cylinder on the table and poured out some energon from one flask into it.

She was starving and wouldn't be able to hold out for long, so she just decided to answer the questions and hope she could steer him away from any information that would be helpful to him.

"Other than the fact his name is Reignfire, there is not much to tell." She answered back. She made a pre-emptive grab for the glass, but he moved it away from her.

"Perhaps you had better tell me something that is more worthwhile before I decide to give this to you?" He mused.

What was there to tell? "Depends on what you want to know? It's going to cost you." She grinned. She had to play his game and hope she could weasel her way out of it and return to the relative safety of Soundwave's lab before she was discovered missing.

"Tell me more about your connection to Reignfire?"

"Why?" She asked. "What use could that information be of to you?"

"Just answer the question and we will both get what we want." He answered her back very curtly, tapping his digits on the glass.

She openly lied to steer him away from making her say anything. "There's not much I can say about my connection to anyone you ask about."

Starscream knew she was trying to outwit him, avoiding the questions by asking more questions. If he was going to get everything out of her, he had to play the game better than she was trying, and he was by far the master at it. "So do you even know what your maternal unit's name is?"

She wasn't about to go and tell him that her mother had a humanised alt mode and she hid behind that human face more often than her Cybertronian one. Although considering she and her mother didn't get along, she considered telling Starscream just out of pure spite, and gave him her Cybertronian name. "Galaxy."

She tried to grab the glass but Starscream held it up in his hand. She scowled, she could tell he wanted her to elaborate but she just wanted to be obstinate.

She sighed, "What?"

"And your paternal unit?"

"I have no idea, never met him, don't even know his name. He's probably some whack job scientist just like my mother is and I don't really care if he's functional or not." She was desperately hungry now. She quickly lunged forward and grabbed the glass out of his digits and scrambled back to her corner on the couch as far away as possible from the Air Commander before he could object to her taking it.

There was a momentary look of confusion on Starscream's faceplate when she had mentioned her mother's name and the Seeker went quiet, he was thinking about how much use this information could be of to him.

Reignfire and Galaxy had revealed nothing to him and nor had the youngling, which didn't help him to know who she really was. If Galaxy was her maternal unit then he understood the femme didn't care about anything other than science, and what was stopping Reignfire from doing it himself if he obviously cared that much about the two. Something just wasn't right here. He had to get a sample to test her CNA.

Violet was still hungry for more fuel. The meagre mouthful she had thus far received wasn't enough and she wanted more. She figured she'd try to make a grab for the less than full flask while Starscream was distracted by his own thoughts, but he was too quick for her and pulled the flask away and out of her reach.

"Don't try my hospitality femme or you can leave here in pieces and Megatron will have no new toy to control and manipulate…"

Violet mumbled something under her venting just as the door opened for someone else to come in. Starscream was not able to continue his sentence as Megatron waltzed right in through the door. "What was that you were saying Starscream?"

"N-nothing Sir I…" He sputtered out as he got up to stand.

Megatron looked him up and down and then looked at Violet sitting in the other corner of the couch. "You… return to Soundwave's lab like you were told to."

Violet no longer felt the strong compulsion like before but she decided it was better to do as she was told for now. "As you wish." She plainly stated. As she passed the table in front of the couch she stopped and looked back at the flasks, one less than full and the other still untouched. She stepped back deftly and quickly grabbed the full flask, grinned up at a scowling Starscream, then bolted out of the room. She never would have been able to handle both but grabbed the larger portion for her own benefit.

Starscream made a move to go after and retrieve his property from the femme but he was stopped. "Where do you think you're going?" Megatron asked. Starscream could hear him grinding his knuckle joints.

"But she…" Starscream whined.

"Never mind about the brat, you can start by telling me exactly what it was you were doing in here?"

Violet didn't stop running till she was several corridors away. She ducked around a corner and selfishly gulped all of the energon in the flask. When she was done she carried the empty cube with her and made her way back to where she had been ordered to go.

But she didn't make it all way.

'Ugh, what do these two want?' She thought to herself. 'I've had enough, if they want to start something now; I'm putting them both in their place.'

"Well lookie what we have here?" Frenzy gleefully stated.

"If it ain't our favourite punching bag!" Rumble added.

She was clearly bigger and taller than both now but still they continued to follow her around and make their presences felt, trying to prove that they were tougher and better than she was. She was getting really sick of it to be honest.

"Don't you two dirt bags have a life to get on with or do you always go around pretending to be nothing other than what you are, pathetic?" Considering the time she had already spent around them, she was tired of their chasing her and she wasn't going to put up with it anymore. It was bad enough she had to live with them in Soundwave's Lab area.

Up until now she had been hiding her real martial skills in order to make as little impact as possible while she was here on the base and to stay out of trouble to survive longer but enough was enough.

She was grateful for all those years of combat and weapons training that her Aunt had given her. She often blended her myriad of skills for her own innate style for a greater effect, but Earth style arts were barely useable on Cybertronians, especially any passive strikes involving joint and pressure point strikes, but she made do.

Frenzy and Rumble saw her comment as unexpected.

"You can't talk to us like that!" One said.

"Yeah." Said the other.

"Let's teach her a lesson she'll never forget." Frenzy said while clicking the knuckle gears of his digits.

"Yeah, a lesson she'll never forget." Rumble added with laughing amongst themselves.

When one charged, she made herself ready while at the same time watching out for the other who may come at her from behind.

From another corridor, Skywarp and Thundercracker were on their way down to the rec room for some down time and came across the fight between Violet and the cassette twins.

In fact Skywarp was very nearly knocked off his feet by a sliding Rumble who just missed him and slammed into the wall opposite.

"Watch it pipsqueak." Skywarp growled. The purple Seeker watched as Rumble got himself up and charged at the small femme yet again, completely ignoring the Seekers comment.

"Should we do something?" Thundercracker asked his companion.

Skywarp replied, "Pit no! Let's just watch and hope they beat each others braincases out!"

After a time Skywarp's grin went to a frown, realising that the twins were quickly losing the fight.

"She isn't all that bad a fighter." Exclaimed Thundercracker, "For something that small anyhow."

"I don't get it? There's two of them and only one of her, how come they're not winning?" Skywarp asked. While he didn't like the twins, they were Decepticons and would rather root for them than the femme whom he thought of as a freak of nature.

While Skywarp's attention was plastered on the flight between them, Violet getting one of them into a headlock and punching his faceplate in, while the other tried to jump her from behind, she was indeed teaching them both a lesson in who the better fighter was.

Thundercracker was impassively watching the spectacle when he noticed Megatron approaching with a disgruntled and scowling Starscream caressing a bruised faceplate right behind him.

He tapped Skywarp's shoulder strut, "Hey 'Warp, we've got company."

Both the Seekers quickly stood aside to attention and out of the way of their Commanding Officer who was heading straight for the squabbling trio.

"What is going on here?" Megatron boomed.

The fighting suddenly stopped for a moment. Frenzy shakily got up and clutched his head casing. Violet still had Rumble in a headlock and gave the mech a punch in the face, even after Megatron spoke, making the mech clutch his now seeping nasal sensor when Violet let him go.

"She started this." The red twin claimed, the blue one nodding along with his brother.

Violet scoffed, knowing they were both trying to blame her, "You two had it coming even if I didn't start it."

"Why you…" Frenzy was about to advance on her and fight again.

"Stop. Enough, all of you." Megatron interjected. "I don't care who started it or why. You," He pointed at Violet, "Go and return to Soundwave's quarters like you were ordered."

Violet shrugs and then turns and walks to her destination.

He turned to the twins, "You two can go clean the recreational area as punishment."

Frenzy piped up, "Hey , how come she gets away with this, she ain't even one of us and we get punished?"

"Quiet Frenzy. Do not question my orders." Megatron turned and looked at Starscream for a moment and the Air Commander slinked off down the corridor to the rec room with Skywarp following behind.

Thundercracker stayed a moment, "Excuse me Sir?" He was curious about something and wanted an opportunity to question the femme.

"What is it Thundercracker?"

"Do you want me to make sure the femme actually makes it to Soundwave's lab this time?"

Megatron looked at him for a moment wondering what he was up to, but then waived him off. "Yes, now go, I have things to do."

As he watched Thundercracker disappear down the corridor, Megatron had a look around at the scuffs on the wall and saw there were several points where he recognised the distinctive silver metal from the femme's metal skin and he began to wonder just how strong she was becoming if she was able to leave dents that deep in the walls. He was also wondering what else this femme was trying to hide.

When he got up from his kneeling position of examining the walls he opened a channel on his comms. "Soundwave, report to me in my office in one breem."

The recreation room.

"So what were you up to this time to get slammed against a wall and choked like usual?"

"What makes you think anything happened?" Starscream tried to impress innocently.

"Coz' every time you end up following the Boss around meekly like that and have a cracked or bruised faceplate, its coz' you were doing something you shouldn't have been doing." He stopped to sip some energon out of the flask he had in his hand, "Just what was it you were doing?" He asked curiously.

Starscream himself was drinking and didn't respond straight away to his wing mate's curious question. Starscream sighed, "Wouldn't you like to know!" He had taken the sample of the femmes CAN and analysed it, confirming his suspicions.

"Err, but didn't I just do that?" Skywarp asked.

Starscream scoffed, "She is Galaxy's creation, her daughter. That's what I found out about the femme." He left his connection out of the conversation.

"Are you serious? You mean to tell me that horrid little freak and I are related." Skywarp just sat there and stared for a moment and then shuddered in his intakes, "Ooh, scary thought." He took a sip of his energon again then said, "Hey I wonder where TC went?"

Megatron's Office.

"If Starscream is right about the information he obtained from the femme, then perhaps we could use her as bait in order to bring Reignfire out of hiding. It's obvious that if he has been here on Earth for this long and not returned to us then he is a traitor and I want to deal with him myself, as are all the other soldiers who were with him if they are still functional. Reignfire used to be one of my most loyal soldiers and his desertion will be dealt with accordingly."

"As you wish Sir." Soundwave meekly replied.

"Now tell me more about the femme since you reported to me last."

"Her growth patterns are continuing exponentially. The more energon she is being fed the more her changes are occurring. She does not seem to be exhibiting any power that we observed of the male previously."

"So you're saying that if we deliberately overcharge her she will be a fully grown adult mechanoid more quickly than waiting for the changes to occur at their own pace?" Megatron asked.

"Affirmative." Came the monotonous reply.

"Considering the damage I just observed in corridor B-7, I believe she may be hiding any power she has already." Megatron thought for a moment. "And while I do not freely invite the prospect of having an adult femme loose on this base to distract my other soldiers, the power levels that she is beginning to show may very well be a worthwhile prize in the end."

Megatron got out of his Command chair and walked around it with one hand to his chin. "Perhaps we can give her some form of test to make her use these powers she's hiding. Considering she just fought with your cassette twins, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to oblige by fighting her again to get payback."

"Go and retrieve the twins from the rec room and bring them and yourself to the combat room, I will retrieve the femme from your lab, if she has actually arrived there this time."

"Understood."

Soundwave's Lab.

When Violet arrived back at the lab, she had passed Soundwave on his way out and the Comms. Officer had given her a curious look before continuing on his way somewhere. She was grateful she would have the place to herself at least. Or so she thought. Ravage was curled up, quietly recharging in one corner.

She wondered to herself how exactly she had gotten out of that one. Here she was, fighting with two of Megatron's soldiers and she was caught doing it red handed by their Commander and all he did was send her back here. There had to be something else to it?

She was in the middle of washing her faceplate when another person walked into the lab.

She turned around to see that it wasn't Megatron or Soundwave, but in fact that blue Seeker she often saw with Starscream or the purple one, one that had been watching the fight.

Thundercracker watched her as she dried off her faceplate with a cleaning cloth close by and wandered across to a bench with a toolbox on it.

"What do you want?" She queried to him. "Megatron send you to babysit his toy?"

The Seeker ignored her cynical remarks and instead asked his own questions. "How did you learn to fight like that?"

"I was taught to fight like that. Why are you so interested?"

"Well that's not the first time those two have intentionally fought with you, why haven't you shown your skills till now?"

She ignored his question and answered with her own. "Why are you even here bothering me anyway? Don't you like have some Seeker's club meeting to go to or something, with that ugly red and white mech and the purple one, what's-his-name, Sky-something?"

"They are called Starscream and Skywarp, respectively." Thundercracker said, "And I just came here because I was curious about you, that's all. Megatron didn't send me to watch you."

"You're asking too many questions." She replied angrily.

"I don't know why you are being so defensive about it, besides it's not like I'm trying to pick a fight with you, I just want some answers?"

"In that case Thundercracker, you can pick a fight with her to test her skills yourself along with the cassette twins in the combat room."

Neither of them had heard Megatron walk in.

"You can bring the femme with you and we will see just how good a fighter she really is if you're that curious to know."

As soon as the hulking grey mech was out of the room, Violet swore to herself. She had hit the walls a few times and must have dented it enough for Megatron to notice. Damn. How was she going to get out of this one?
