Author's Note: This was a really short transitional chapter so I'll post another one today. Thanks to I am Blueberry, Exactlywhat, and Noella50881 (I think we all wonder that) for reviewing the last chapter! Enjoy and I own nothing but my OCs
Shades of Grey-Permanent Residence?
"Should I just put down your permanent residence as the brig and med bay?" Hook snarled in annoyance as he worked to patch up Starscream. The Decepticon SIC just shrugged and then winced as the medic smacked him on the back of the helm. Megatron had never caught up to Starscream but the Decepticon leader had gotten in a few good shots. Starscream had to admit they had put on quite a show for both sides but he had definitely got the bad end of the deal. All Megatron had was wounded pride but he had a smoking shoulder.
"Definitely not," Starscream sneered. "It was just a lucky shot."
"Well it was one heck of a lucky shot," Hook said dryly and Starscream snarled as the medic began working on his wounded wing.
"Slag it that hurts," the SIC snarled. "Be more careful."
"If you wouldn't constantly bait Megatron we wouldn't be doing this," Hook snapped back, his patience for the Seeker gone.
"If Megatron wasn't such a fool you wouldn't be patching up war injuries because there wouldn't be a war," Starscream snapped back.
"Slagging ex-scientist," Hook growled. "Keep your radical thoughts to yourself. I don't want you maimed in my med bay." Starscream growled but silenced after that. Once he was fixed he stalked out of the med bay to head for his berth. After that ordeal he really wanted to get some rest before he had to be up the next morning. It wasn't to be.
"We've got a problem," Thundercracker said in a rushed voice as he grabbed the SIC's newly repaired shoulder. "Soundwave and a few others were having a problem with some Autobots. Megatron came to help and got himself slagging surrounded. Jetfire is grounded and Shadow and her brothers are learning fast but they can't fight like they need to right now. Besides that Soundwave is injured." Starscream would have dearly liked to leave Megatron but that would mean abandoning Shadow, her brothers, Jetfire, and Soundwave. That was intolerable.
"Find anyone you can that is battle ready and bring them with you. I'll already be there," Starscream said and then turned and stalked down the hall. The instant he was out of the building he was in air and flying as fast as he possibly could. The Autobots would pay dearly for any damage they inflicted in this fight. Starscream would make sure of that.
