Firewing woke early the next morning, her day already planned out perfectly. She looked at Megatron, who was still recharging peacefully, before heading to her wash racks. She was wanted to look perfect for today. She showered longer than normal, making sure to get into every nook and cranny. She wanted to ensure every gap or seam in her armour was cleaned properly. When she had finished with her shower, she exited the wash racks, to find the berth empty. Must have left while I was showering. She supposed, as she sat on her berth waiting for her guardian to arrive.

The command centre was bustling with activity when Firewing arrived with her guardian, her guardian having already approved her being there. She strode into the room confidently, her goal in sight. She approached Megatron, who was seated in his usual spot, dropping to one with a servo placed respectfully over her chestplates. "Forgive my intrusion sir" she spoke loud enough for all Decepticons occupants of the room to hear her. "But I request an audience with the Decepticon command"
Megatron stood from his position, signally for his second and third to join him. "Granted" he said. "Rise Firewing, and state your business" he finished, as all three Decepticon leaders stood before her.
Firewing stood to her full height, looking at the three mechs, optics burning with purpose. "I have come before you this day; to request a chance to prove my worth to the Decepticon cause" she started, suddenly noticing the rest of the gathered to witness this occasion. "I believe I could be a valuable asset to your cause"
She watched as the three considered her proposition. She knew this was just a formal way of doing things, but she suddenly started to feel nervous. "The command would like to know how you could prove your loyalty." Megatron spoke.
Firewing barely thought for a moment, before the words came out. "I have already provided the cause with blueprints and security codes that will aid in your victory" she started, quickly going over the next words, knowing that this was her overall case. "I also believe that I could be of great assistance within the Autobot stronghold. I do not believe Sentinel Prime knows that I am aware of his betrayal. And I wish to use that against him" she finished, hoping that she had made her case enough.
Surprisingly, it was Soundwave who spoke next. "Firewing intends to become spy?"
"Correct sir" her answer came swiftly and respectfully.
Firewing watched as the command turned to face each other. She could see that they were all discussing the her proposal, carefully weighing up the pros and cons. It felt like an eternity she stood watching as they deliberated, before they finally turned back to her. "We have thought over what has been said today. And believe that you will be a great ally" Megatron stated. "We have also considered your request to rejoin the Autobots as our double agent, and decided that this is an opportunity not to be missed" he said, stepping towards the femme. "We will discuss further how best to accomplish such a task, but for now" he stopped directly in front of the femme, his servo going to her shoulder. "I, on behalf of the Decepticon command, would like to welcome you into our ranks"
"Thank you sir. It will be an honour to serve this cause" she said, bowing respectfully.

Firewing sat in the rec room, a smile larger than Cybertron itself, plastered on her faceplates. She was still trembling with excitement after leaving the command centre, an official Decepticon soldier. She had to admit, she was going to miss having a guardian with her everyday, but now that she was a Decepticon, she didn't need one.
She was so lost in thought, she almost jumped out of her plating when a servo touched her shoulder. She turned to find Nacelle standing beside her. "Primus Nacelle. You almost gave me a spark attack" she said, calming her racing spark.
The other seeker chuckled slightly as he sat down. "My apologies miss. I didn't mean to frighten you"
Firewing nodded, knowing his words were truth. "What can I do for you?" she asked, taking a sip out of her cube.
Nacelle sat back in his chair, stretching his wings as he did. "Well, I was meant to be your guardian this afternoon" he started. "But now that you don't need one, I have the afternoon off. And was wandering if you wanted to hang out?" he asked.
Firewing smiled fondly at the mech, having just realised that he actually wanted to spend time with her. "I would love to Nacelle" she said, disposing of the, now empty, energon cube. "What did you have in processor?" she asked, watching as the other thought about it.
"How about a sparring match?" he said, causing the femme to smirk. It had been a while since she had sparred with someone.

Firewing panted as she dropped to a defensive position. She and Nacelle had been sparring for some time now, neither quite getting the upper servo. "Come on Nacelle. Is that all you got?" she asked, trying to goad the other into attacking, but Nacelle stood his ground.
"You ain't seen nothing yet femme" the larger seeker said, suddenly dropping his stance, ready to attack at a moments notice.
Firewing circled the other flyer, his optics never leaving her. "Well then Nacelle. Show me" she said, bringing her servo up in a 'come at me' gesture.
Nacelle smirked as he rushed towards the femme, catching her only slightly off guard. He jumped in the air, spinning as he did, catching her in the abdomen. He heard her hiss, as she landed on her back . "Give up yet?" he asked, moving towards the femme.
Firewing smirked as he got in range. "Not a chance". She spun her body around, catching his legs as she did, knocking him to the ground. She used her momentum to gracefully spring to her pedes, immediately pouncing on the downed flyer, her makeshift sword finding his throat. "I'm afraid that you're offline, Nacelle" she said, looking at the seeker beneath her.
Nacelle went limp, admitting defeat. "I admit defeat, having been slain by a warrior better than myself" he said, before being helped to his pedes by the femme. "Good fight"
Suddenly they both heard clapping. They turned towards the sound, to find Megatron standing in the doorway. His armoured shone in a way she had never seen before, his gorgeous crimson optics seemed to stare into her. "Well done Firewing. You really will be a valuable asset" he purred, before leaving the room.
Firewing blushed, having never received such praise. "Thank you Nacelle" she said, putting her makeshift weapons away. "I greatly enjoyed this"
